A New System of Seed Distribution

A New System of Seed Distribution.
A Washington dispatch says Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson mas init
ated a new system of seed distribu-
ton in his department. His aim is
to diversity, so far as possible, the
farm products of the country, and to
this end he is making a speciality of
selecting new and valuable seeds from
all parts of the world, aud putting
them in the hands of farmers likely
to use them to advantage. He has be-
gun the work with sugar beet.s anG
leguminous plants of all sorts. While
sugar beets are now widely cultivated
in the west, the best seed at present
comes from abroad, where scientific
improvement in species has been
fostered by the French and German
governments for years. A large sup
ply of these high-grade seeds has been
ordered and will be judiciously dis
tributed. Canadian and Japanese field
peas already have been tried in some
sections of the United States, and
have proven valuable as fodder plants.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-05-19

These instances alone show that the
market cannot be overstocked at any
time, and are excellent reasons why
the farmer and fruit grower should
turn his thoughts to the culture of
the pineapple.
There is much mooted question
about the amount of cold a pineapple
can stand. l can say with twelve
winters experience, that the pine will
stand as much cold as the orange
tree. This has been proven beyond a
doubt, and it is a settled question that
the plants will recover from an unpre-
cedented cold snap in single sea-
son.
There are less culls in pineapples
than in any other fruit L know, and
there are no pests which cannot be
destroyed easily, thus making the
culture of this king of fruits pleas
ure, free from worry, with a certain
crop and comparatively no fuctua
tons in the market price. [ have tax
en- out Of my pineries since last Sep
TENDER over $4,000 young plants and
$4,000 pineapples, and in no instance
have [ had a word of complaint from
my customers, showing that the
plants are hardy and thrifty, and the
fruit everything that could be desired.
There will be shipped from Orange
county within the next eight months
almost double the quantity of fancy
fruit ever shipped in a like period,
and the supply then will not half
equal the demand from two of our
larger cities.
A good many of my friends on the
East Coast disagree with me about
the advantage of a cover. To them
let me say, that the amount saved by
the cover in the prevention of the
sun-burning of the fruit in one sea-
son alone, more than reimbursed me
this, pines grown under cover are
larger and more juicy, the partial
shade allowing the fruit to mature
before ripening. The cover also, in
large measure, prevents the moisture
from being absorbed by the sun, and
saves the expense of irrigation; it pre-
vents the evaporation of the volatile
elements in the fertilizer, and saves 80
per cent of the expense in that direc
ton.
My fruit brought me better figure
last season than in any previous year,
showing that the better the fancy va
rieties of this king of fruits are
known, the better they are appreci-
ated.

The Pineapple.

by Geo l.. Russell.
So much has already been written
on pineapple culture, and extracts of
my article prepared last fall for the
Orlando Board of Trade having been
published in most every agricultural
paper in the country, | am at a loss
how to prepare paper accepJable
and profitable to the Horticultural So
ciety on this subject without being
accused of plagiarism.
| have not dwelt very much hereto
fore on the immense strides that have
been made in the business, and so
shall ask your indulgence while [
point out few facts which should be
an inducement to every farmer and
fruit grower in the state to embrace
the culture of the pineapple.
The profits from a pinery exceed
almost 100 per cent the profits from
any other fruit raising industry in the
world [ do not refer to the common
varieties of the fruit, which are used
almost exclusively for canning and
with which the grower has to compete
with the imported fruit at two cent
tariff [ refer to our fancy varieties,
with the immense six to twelve pound
pines that have made Orlando famous.
| have had friends remark to me,
"Why do you advise people to go into
business which you practically con-
trol?" My reply has always been and
is the same today: eff twothirds of
the available land in the state of Flor
ida was planted in pineapples, the
product would not meet the demand
for the fruit of the better varieties in
the markets of the United States
alone.
This statement is made only after
careful investigation, and [ find that
where the public taste has been edu-
Gated to the consumption of our finer
grade pines, retail dealers will not
handle the cheaper and coarser fbred
varieties.
Regarding the varieties, [ am often
asked by people who are about to en-
ter the business, 'What varieties do
you advise me to plant?"
The question is difficult to answer;
a great deal depends on the market
the grower intends to supply. L have
here six plants in tubs in a healthy
state of growth, which are ordered for
the exhibit of the U. S Department of
Agriculture at the Tennessee EXPOSE
ton. | have already sent one ship
ment, and these are excellent samples
of the varieties I recommend. They
are my selection from over thirty va
rieties in the past twelve years, and [
have discarded all others.
For all around shipping [ advise all
growers to raise the Smooth Cayenne.
MY reason for this is because the
fruit packs nicer, keeps longer, and is
equal in size and quality to any pine
grown.
For home consumption, the Abba
ka is perhaps the best fruit, being
sweeter and more juicy than the
Smooth Cayenne. 1t is not such u
pretty shaped fruit, however, nor can
it be shipped as successfully to the
4 I9e1
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-05-19

In reading over the Horticultural
Society's report for 1896, L find sew
eral errors that [ wish to correct.
First the report describes the Smooth
Cayenne as good apple but not the
best. 1t is without doubt superior to
any pine in the list printed. Second,
the report says that the fruiting sea-
son is summer +. This is misleading.
| can produce fruit at any season of
the year, and my best money crop is
the one | cut in winter The Smooth
Cayenne should be marked D. C.. S. if
any should, as it can be shipped to
any foreign market and will keep
from four to six weeks after being
taken from the plant, and taste and
look as if freshly picked. The Smooth
Cayenne should also be marked as a
vigorous grower, which it most GER
tainly is.
The Abbaka is the strongest grow
er in the lot, and also the most pro-
life in plants and certain to fruit. The
report fails to show this but gives
the credit to a vastly inferior variety.
Yet, where is there a grower of any
variety that can point out any pine
that has produced 90 plants at sim
gle fruiting, as the Abbaka has done
in my pinery?
The commercial advantage of the
pine does not rest with the sale Of the
fruit. Each of these varieties which
L recommend will give an average of
from five to ten new plants each sea-
son if properly treated, and the cost
of treating a plant properly for year
does not exceed two cents.
Now suppose you plant an acre
with, let us say $500 plants. 1t is
safe to say that within two years
from the time Of planting you will
have $4,000 plants. If you wish to en-
large, you are then able to put out
three acres more from your own
stock, and the sale of the fruit and
the remaining plants will have paid
all expenses and melted you a hand
some income. These are facts which |
have demonstrated and cannot be dis
puted.
[ recently received letter from
Pennsylvania from which [ take the
following extract to show you that
the ways to dispose of the fruit are
endless:
''The value of the pineapple is not
at present at all appreciated and as
it becomes known the demand and
price will increase. 1t I could get a
quantity Of fruit at this time [ could
pay good price for it, for [ have a
way of putting it up as cough and
cold and dyspepsia remedy, and also
as the most delicious table syrup ever
tasted, so that | could sell quantities
and would pay handsomely for a
quantity of the fruit"
The writer of this letter has organ
lied a company, and work has now
commenced on the building of a cover
for ten acre pinery, for which [
have a contract to supply the plants.

Gle concerns in the world has in

ARBITRATION.

The full correspondence upon the
latest phase of the japanese ques-
ton has been put at the disposal of
the public today. There is no time
to go deeply into the matter, but
the first thought that strikes one in
the affair is whether Japan is really
honest in desiring arbitration.
Looking over the document it seems
very much as if Japan were not
honest i'll the matter.
The clause OF Article a of the
treaty of 1871, which the Japanese
Interpret as a msot favored nation
clause, cannot be so regarded.
1t is a sentence sandwiched into
a commercial agreement. The treaty
with Spain Of 1868 is practically a
dead letter, and Spain has never had
representative here.
1t looks very much as if the
japanese Minister had sought out
some path by which he could avoid
arbitration, while seeming to ac-
quiesce in it.
The reply of Minister Cooper is
a carefully thought out document
and does credit to the office from
which it emanates.

PRIMUS STOVES /!

SO many different kinds of
oil stoves have been put on the
market during the past ten
years that it was with difficulty
that the best could be deter
mined upon until the PRIMUs
was introduced a year ago.
This stove burns a kerosene
vapor and is non. explosive.
You can turn it upside down
and no danger will result.
The oil tank cannot be filed
while burning, as the removal
of the filler cap extinguishes
the flame instantly.
In point of simplicity it has
no equal, for it has no wick,
burns any grade of kerosene,
and the flame can be regulat-
ed. 1t produces a heat of
from 21OO degrees to- 1900
degrees Fair, and consumes
one quart of oil in five hours
consecutive burning. This
means an expense Of 2 cents
per hour.
Nothing but solid brass is
used in the manufacture of the
PRIMUs, and when in operation
it is absolutely odorless.
It will bring a quart of
water to boiling in 3 minutes.
We have half a dozen styles.
Single, double and triple burn
ers. Extensions for singles,
so that three kinds of vege-
tables may be cooked at once.
Soldering irons, fatiron heat
ers, obens, and everything
necessary to cook a meal.

LOOK AT THE FUTURE.

DO the ant1-anneXat1OnlSt fully
realize their future prospects, or
rather lack of prospects. With
them it seems to be, as it was with
certain class of people in the
United States at one time" Any
thing to beat Grant"
1t may be laid down as formula
that the loss of annexation will
mean the loss of the Reciprocity
Treaty, aud the loss of the Recipro-
city Treaty will mean the loss of the
sugar industry. That is what
would have to be faced should the
anti-annexationists be able to carry
out their plans.
After the uncertainty Of the first
part of the year, when we did not
know whether the reciprocity
clause would be struck out of the
sugar schedule or not, there has
been a distinct revival in business.
Look back at the beginning of the
year and remember what the bust
ness outlook was. 1t was dull,
many people were out of work, the
stores were doing very light trade,
it was period of stagnation, which
would have resulted in ruin to
many had not there been business
revival brought about by the re-
placing of the Hawaiian clause in
the Tariff Bill. Once that was
assured and there was at once a
revival. At the present time business
is brisk, there is plenty of work,
and there is plenty in sight.
But it must be clearly remember
ed that thereplacing of the Hawaiian
exemption clause in the sugar
schedule of the Dingley bill was
entirely due to the introduction of
the Annexation Treaty. Senators,
who bitterly opposed free sugar,
swung round and allowed it to pass
on the understanding that annex
alton of the Islands to the United
States was imminent.
1t is all very we'll for irresponsible
platform orators of the anti-annex-
ationists to vapor about the rights
of this one and the rights of the
other, but the practical question
which every workingman has to
ask is How am l to get enough to
eat if take up your side? l am

cation than now?"

The ALASKA is the best con-
structed Refrigerator ever put
on the market. 1t will keep
provisions longer and use less
ice than any other refrigera-
tor. Why? Because between
the outer and inner walls there
is an inch and a half space
filled with PURE CHARCOAL, and
nothing has yet been found as
good. 1t possesses a purify
quality that no other filling
has, and is one Of the best
known insulators for heat or

The inner frame of these
refrigerators is made of per-
fectly odorless wood, and all
exposed wood, such as under
the lids, and that above the
doors is odorless poplar, thor

In ice boxes we can quote you pri-

desiring ample space for ice and fewer
compartments for provisions, will be
suited with these ice boxes.
