Pedigree in Pineapples.

Editor Florida Agriculturist
[ am a firm believer that like pro-
duces like; that persistent selection
of the best from the best as breeding
stock, either in animal or vegcta ole
kingdom will result in a superior
production. Our finest stock our best
fowls, and our superior fruits of all
kinds are the result of careful and
continued selection of the best from
the best as breeders and seeders.
And this fact and we'll known law
of nature is just as true of pineapples
as of anything else; yet who of the
hundreds who have bought thousands
of plants for their pineries the last
two years have given it thought?
In the great demand and short sup
ply of the unquestioned superior all

smokers and bring money to the to-
bacco growers of Florida.
The canning factory at Green Cove
Springs put up about $1,000 worth of
material this summer. Mr.. Wilson
writing to his paper, Farm, Field &
Fireside, says that in order to find a
profitable market the stuff must be
shipped to New York, from which
place it is reshipped to Florida or
elsewhere. This seems hardly reason
able. If an agency was established
in Jacksonville we think several times
the output of the Green Cove Springs
factory could be sold in the State.

One of our exchanges contains the
following item: "Mr. Pinkham,
shoe manufacturer from Massachu-
sets, owns twenty acres of land near
Spring Park on which he purposes
building shoe factory and cottages
for his hands whom he will bring
with him from the North" This is
the kind of news we like to hear.
Now if Mr.. Pinkham will establish a
tannery at Spring Park, there is no
reason why he would not be able to
undersell all competitors, as he could
save transportation on raw material.

Recent Bulletins,

The State Experiment Station has
issued a batch of important and in
structive bulletins during the past
two months.
Bulletin No. 40 by A. L. Quaintance,
treats of The Fall Army Worm:
Southern Grass Worm. The fall army
worm has been unusually abundant
and destructive during the past sum-
mer. Copious extracts from this bu1-
letin were made in a recent number OF
the Agriculturist.
Bulletin No. 80, "Strawberry Cul-
ture for the Market and the Home,''
is by Mr. S. Powers, a man of wide
experience in strawberry culture. In
the bulletin he discusses strawberry
culture in all it's phases, and the bull
letin WILL be especially valuable to
Floridians at this time.
Bulletin No. Al, "a Fungus Disease
of the San Jose Scale,' by Mr.. P. FL.
Rolls, is most interesting publica-
ton. It treats of a fungus disease
that has proven destructive to the San
Jose scale. Mr.. Rolls details expert
ments with the artificial dissemination
of the fungus. The fungus is doubtless
a native of Florida, but it can be pro-
duced in laboratories and transferred
to scale-infested trees at slight ex-
pense.
Bulletin No. AZ is now in press and
will be ready for distribution in few
days. This bulletin is by Prof. Quain-
tance and treats of Diseases Of straw
berries.
Any or all of these bulletins will he
furnished free to any citizen of the
State. If you do not receive the bulle-
tins send your address to the Director

Agricultural Education.

Mr.. Henry Snyder discusses, in the
Practical Farmer, the needs of more
thorough system of Agricultural edu-
cation, in most interesting man
ner. He holds that the course of edu-
cation should be thorough, beginning
in the primary departments of the
school. He says that the subject of
teaching the theoretical and practical
science of agriculture and horticul-
ture to the children in the primary
schools of the United States offers
chance for serious thought on the
part of those that have the welfare of
posterity at heart. Upon the tiller of
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-09-08

the soil rests the future of the coun-
try's greatness and the happiness Of
our children's homes. Therefore it
behooves us to use every means with
in our power to give them every adj
vantage of learning the noblest bust
ness on earth.
There is no trade or profession car
ried on with less knowledge of the
minutiae of the business than farming
and trucking. The gardener stands
on little better footing, but even
here many are sadly deficient. More
schools are wanteu, more study, more
close observations and more practical
teachers; teachers that can explain
lucidly the why's and wherefores," to
go into the primary schools and teach
the poorer classes of children, whose
parents are the workers and are I'M
able to bear the expense of college
course. A half hour or SO each day
working in the garden Chat time de-
voted to recess even), under compe-
tent teacher, would be of incalcula-
BILE benefit to the rising generation.
Most children love flowers and would
be delighted to have little garden
of their own. They would soon make
the barren surroundings of the aver
age country school blossom like a
rose." A class of farmers and horti-
culturists would grow up that for
successful methods and practice
would throw us old fogies deep in the
shade. There is in all neighborhoods
some one that can teach the children
how to prepare the soil for planting,
even if they can go no further. The
instructions printed on the packets
of seeds will tell the time and how
to plant. Other instructions in regard
to fertilization methods and of care,
can be secured from the text books or
periodical papers by any ordinary
teacher, and given to the scholars as
circumstances may direct. Instead Of
being taught as routine study (thaE
must be learned) use it as recrea-
ton or play. The cost of seed can
hardly enter into the calcula ton, a
five or ten cent packet being amply
sufficient; in fact, as the little gar,
deners progress in knowledge of how
to care for the plants, many cutting
or rooted plant should be given them,
small plat of ground could be given
separately, or it could be managed DIS
a joint stock concern. The separate
plat plan would create an emolution
that would be productive of the best
results. Parents should become in
terested and assist the children to
produce the best, by giving them in
struction and advice, thus very great
ly helping the teacher also.

And yet there is as much difference
in the market value of such fruit, and
should be in the plants from such
fruit as there is in the value of Flor
ida cracker steer and the best breed
ers from the best herds of short horn
or Jersey stock. The Chicago Tribune
in an article on the fruit market says
of pineapples, chat crates holding "a
are sold at So per crate, 80 to SO at ST.
per crate.
At the same time an Orlando grow
er had few crates of large apples,
eight to the crate that sold for $1,000
per crate, and 10 to the crate for $500
per crate. Here is a remarkable diff
ference; to the grower one is all profit
the other is all loss.
Is there not as much difference in
the actual value of suckers, from
plants producing such fruit?
1 spent the winter of '93 and '94
among the Indian pineries, and be-
came much interested. In the sum-
mer of '95 while in San Francisco, I
saw some remarkably fine pineapples,
grown in Honolulu, and meeting the
grower he informed me it was the
result of several years careful selec~
ton of plants from the finest and
largest fruit. That no plant in the
world responded so quickly or read

apple.
After returning to Chicago [ opened
correspondence with the Honolulu
grower for the purchase of plants to
use in Florida, and as an evidence of
the possibilities under careful selec-
ton he sent me a Smooth Cayenne
plant with matured fruit, just as it
grew in the island pinery. 1t stood
over five feet and as stoclzy in proper
ton, carrying a 12-pound apple; all
the leaves were broad, thick and long.
Fully believing that like produces
like, [ have after many trials and dis
appointments secured several thou
sand of these stocks that have pro-
duced the largest and finest fruit.
These plants were taken up immedi
ately after cutting the fruit, were
cured in the shade, shipped here and
replanted in an open pinery and are
now producing a splendid lot of
strong stocky and vigorous suckers.
Now, Mr.. Editor, that [ am talking
facts and not fancies, [ send you by
today's express one of these imported
stocks, also sucker from one planted
two months ago. Please compare
them with such as you can, home
grown, haphazard, hit or miss, and
see if you can agree with me that
there is merit in careful selection and
a pedigree in pineapples.

THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREAT
MENT FOR WEAKNESS OF MEN.
WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY
THING ELSE FAILED.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness. the mental forebod-
ings are ten times worse than the most
severe pain. There is no let up to the
mental sufferings day or night Sleep
is almost impossible and under such a
strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer
rolled and tossed on the troubled sea
ton whether he had not better take a
dose of poison and thus end all his trou-
bles. But providential inspiration came
to his aid in the shape of a combination
of medicines that not only completely
restored the general health, but enlarged
his weak, emaciated parts TO natural
size and vigor, and he now declares that
any man who will take the trouble to
send his name and address may have the
method of this wonderful treatment free.

Haunted

The human tenement is often haunted
to the grievOus discomfort of its pos
sessor-by those malignant spirits, con-
stipation and biliousness. But the
abominable pair may be speedily driven
out with the potent help of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. This genial altera-
tive, while it relieves the bowels and
regulates the liver, never, as drastic
purgative does, produces violent eff
fects and weakens the intestines. On
the contrary, the action of the Bitters
is precisely analogous TO an effort of
nature seeking to resume her proper
functions. This furnishes pretty con-
elusive evidence that it is better to
use persuasive means, so to speak, than
to endeavor to coerce nature to re-
turn to duty. Violent remedies produce
only temporary effect, followed by
a hurtful reaction. For indigestion, ma
larial and kidney complaints, rheuma-
tism and nervousness, the Bitters takes
highest rank among remedies of the
philoSOphic school.

veteran of the Fifth Iowa cavalry to

rate of $72 a month for a total blind

approval. Upon recommendation of the
committee on invalid pensions, the
house, by a vote of 1877 to %. passed
the bill over the veto.

McRae. a deputy United States mar
