Pears in East Florida.

The other varieties of pears on
trial here, besides those mentioned
in my last communication, are the
Keiffer, Smiths Hybrid, CARRIER and
Japan Russett. These all belong to
the Oriental kinds of the European
varieties, I have the Bartlett, NADIA
lene, Comet, Idaho and Coles Core
less.
Of the above named Orientals, L
have only fruited the Keiffer. It is
an early and abundant bearer, and as
the trees get age the fruit improves.
It is an excellent home fruit for
cooking and canning.
Smiths and Garber's hybrids have
not fruited with me yet, not having
had sufficient time, but they show
their relationship to the LeConte in
vigor, healthfulness and in abund-
ance of foliage, and, as they add to
both the beginning and close of the
fruit season, [ would fully recon-
mend them. The Japan Russett, or
apple-shaped pear, comes to us high
ly commended as home fruit
Of the European kinds, only one
has given much promise. This one
is the Madalene. It grows we'll, has
plenty of foliage and retains it's foil
age we'll, it healthy and has fruited
in Leon county for years. 1t is a
small, early pear of good quality.
The Bartlett does not have suf-
ficient foliage, and consequently suf-
fers from much exposure to the sun.
My trees, planted ten years ago, have
only borne one or two very enferior
pears, while Kieffers of the same age
have borne two bushels of fruit EACH
The Idaho does not seem healthy.
Like the Bartlett, it is poorly clothed
and slow of growth. 1t has borne no
fruit yet, although grated on large
LeConte stock six years ago. Comet
ditto. Coles Coreless about like the
Bartlett as to foliage, etc.
Our pear trees generally need con-
siderable pruning and thinning out
to grow fine fruit; also heavy fertil-
izing every year with potash and
bone.-W. H. Haskell, in Times
Union.

burrows will be necessary. The
plants should be set in this furrow in
the same as you would set out cab
bage, that is with a dibble. To do this
well requires three persons and an
other to carry water. A cloudy day
should he chosen for this operation,
and if carefully done every single
plant will live. My mode of doing
this is as follows: One man goes first
making the holes for the plants about
two feet apart; the next one follows
with the plants and places them in
this hole just UP to the first leaf; the
next follows with another dibble and
presses the soil to the roots of the
plant, leaving another hole outside of
the plant, which the fourth one fills
with water, and this water percolat-
ing through the soil and among the
roots of the plant insures it's growth
right away. Four persons in this
way can easily transplant twelve to
fourteen thousand plants in day.
1t should always be aimed att to set
as many plants at one time as pos
sible, and the most to be set at the
first planting. It is far better to let
some plants get extra large before
removing from the seed bed, than to
have too many paintings; in this way
you avoid the annoyance of plants of
all sizes and in all stages among your
crop. Seed sown in January should
have plants ready early in April and
that will give at least two cuttings,
and if the season is favorable three.
There are a great many more points
to be followed in the further stages
of the plants growth, but L have
made this too long already, and will
touch on these at some future period.
One word more, in growing a tobacco
crop, the main point is plenty of pot
ash in your fertilizer and Of the right
sort. If you have that you need
not fear, but you will make success
of il. and when it comes TO the our-
ing point if you follow this advice
you will be aston;siled to find the diff
ference it makes in your product.

In sowing Hheseeds care must be taken
to scatter them as evenly as pOssi-
BILE and not too thick. After they
are sown, dry white sand should be
scattered all over the bed to slightly
cover the seed, this being superior te
raking it, and then the bed should be
we'll tramped with the feet. This is
best done by tying fourteen inch
boards on the feet and going over
the bed carefully, pressing the sol

any hollows in it for rain to stand in

tion to respond readily to liberal fer
tilization. In starting out to ferti
lie for tobacco one should bear iI
mind the fact that he is dealing with
one of the grossest of feeders, and
must fertilize accordingly if he wants
good crops. On our ordinary sandy
pine lands of this state at least one
thousand pounds per acre are requir-
ed, and fifteen hundred pounds would
still be better, that is, providing your
soil can assimilate that much. Some
scatter the fertilizer in the burrows
but [ have had the best results with
scattering it broadcast and working
it into the soil with the cultivator.
And now comes the important point
of the whole matter, and that is the
proper fertilizer to apply. Analysis
of the tobacco plant shows an extra
ordinarily high percentage of pot
ash, and if we want a good crop that
is what we must provide for it.

to suit, but hitherto L have complete

bacco fertilizer should analyze as fol

ash (and the source of the potash

avoid coarse bone phosphate, use the
finest rock phosphate), and about
three per cent nitrogen Cotton seed

Tobbaco- Seed-Bed and Planting.
Now that it has been demonstrated
beyond any doubt that the soil and
climate of the South are so we'll adap-
ted to successful tobacco culture, that
in a very few years this industry will
be one of the leading agricultural
products of Florida and Southern
Georgia-for in the last fifteen years
it has been conclusively proven that
Florida cam successfully compete
with even Cuba in growing a first
class article for cigar making,-I
think few remarks on this subject
will be acceptable t. most of your
readers, more particularly so when we
take into consideration the fact that
crop of tobacco yields in hard cash
a very substantial return for time,
labor and fertilizer spent on L.: in
fact there are few crops I'd equal it
in this respect, if everything is prop
erly attended to.
For successful tobacco crop one
has to try and get as good start as
possible, and to this end he must
make proper beginning. The first
point to be well looked after is in
making and sowing the seed bed. In
this latitude seed sown between the
first and fifteenth of January always
give the best results; the plants of
seed sown then are always harder
than those from seed sown in Feb
ruary and March. The best form of
a seed bed is gotten by placing a
couple of logs on level spot Of
ground and laying them parallel to
each other about five feet apart. After
placing the logs in position the place
between should be filled with a. lot Of
rubbish such as dried grass, shrubs,
and anything in fact that will burn
readily. A large pile of this should
be made and when dry enough set on
fire; if the logs get a little charred

better, as this charring will help to
keep off insects. After all this rub
bish is burned and before the ground
cools, the soil ought to be dug up
with grubbing hoe and the ashes
well mixed in the soil. A liberal ap
plication of cotton seed meal may be
added to make the bed rich in nitro
gen for the young plants, thus tend
ing to make them potash hungry
when they are transplanted. A few
DAVIS afterward the beds should be
thoroughly raked and made per-
fectly smooth, and on "a dry day sow
the seed. A week at least must
elapse before sowing the seed if cot
ton seed meal has been used, owing
to it's tendency to burn any tender
seed, and the tobacco is one of the

A large conhagration broke out this morn
ing in Tamaqua, and several of the large
store buildings in the heart of that town are
now in ashes. The fire started at loo o'clock,
in the kitchen of Boas' confectionery store,
near the Reading depot. The building was
occupied by N. and l.. Eltringham, milli-
ners; Swalm's meat market, and George
Keilmans store.
The second and third stories of the Boas
and Jacobs buildings were gutted and the
household goods of Mr.. Boas and Henry
Bender were destroyed Mr.. Boas' loss is
about 81, 900, including damage to stock by
his floor being flooded. Mr.. Bender's loss is
about 81, 800 on household goods and stock
damaged by water. William Loew's loss on
his jewelry stock will be about $500 on ac-
count of water, and l.. & n. EItringham's
millinery stock is damaged to about the same
amount. Keilman's shoe store was also
damaged by water and smoke and his loss is
several hundred dollars.
The Jacobs buildings damage by fire will
amount to =, 600, and the loss ON the Boas
building, which is owned by f. d. Boas,
amounts to about 50, 000
There are but two fire companies in the
town, with only chemical engine. Much
delay was occasioned by the plugs being
frozen, and by the time they were opened
the fire had gained great headway.
