queens, which bring a very large
price in the markets of the north, al
though the expense that is required
to produce the best quality of pines,
and the care that is necessary in their
successful production, lessons the
profit greatly, bringing it to less than
the amount that is usually made on
ordinary fruit.
Another advancement in pineapple
cultivation is the latticed covering
that protects the ruit rom the severe
colds that may come in winter, and
the direct heat of the sun in summer.
This covering was first intended as a
preventive, from cold, but it has been
demonstrated to be protection from
the suns rays and from hard winds,
as we'll.
This covering, since it was first
originated and tried, has been adopt
ed throughout the entire pineapple re-
gion, and it is a common sight to see
great fields of pines protected by it.
The cost is about $500 per acre, which
is considered a small sum in compari-
son with it's usefulness.
To those who are provided with suf-
fcient capital the irrigation process
is getting to be a common idea, and,
considering the small cost of irriga-
ton, it appears to be strange that
more growers do not try it.
A few hundred dollars will put in a
good apparatus, consisting of wind
mill and well, and pipes to serve sew
eral acres of ground. However, irri
cation is not an absolute necessity, as
some of the best growers are without
either it or the latticed covering.
The raising of pines for profit is
now the rage, but the growers of the
Florida keys have perhaps a better
provision for it than those of the
mainland, which is due to the coraline
rock, which possesses fertility sell
dom equaled anywhere. The grower
clears his land, which largely consists
of this porous rock, and in little
round hole made for the purpose he
plants his pineapple slip. He only
visits the place about once each
month to keep the weeds down, and
when the fruit is ripe he takes his
crates down and gathers and ships his
crop to the buyers.
Until quite recently this fruit from
the keys was shipped to Key West by
schooner, and from there to New
York by steamer, making it quite late,
besides necessitating the gathering of
the fruit much too soon. This has
lately been avoided by the extension
of the Florida East Coast railway, and
the key fruit has become an import
ant factor in the northern and west
ern markets.
Pineapple cultivation in Eastern
Florida, although it has been pursued
for several years, is yet in it's infancy.
Each year the demand for this fruit
increases, and the prices are not les
sened by the increase in the ship
ments of each succeeding year. In
fact, many new markets are being
found for the fruit each year, and the
Florida product is rapidly gaining
fine reputation for excellence. This
fact was clearly demonstrated by the

all conditions point to a return OF
real and continued prosperity.
What are the facts' We have
conservative administration. The
country will be governed in fair
ness to the interests of business
men. The tariff question is set
tied. The political situation IS
such that nothing adverse can be
done with the currency question
for three years. Liquidation IS
finished. Leading papers in Eu-
rope recognize the deficiency OF
their crops. The United States is
the only country in a position to
furnish necessary supplies Ex-
change has dropped sharply. Sc
curities have advanced handsome
". Reactions are natural, healthy
and to be expected. The market
declined this week from one to
three points, but promptly recov-
cred, and is now advancing.
In the great period Of business
revival fsom 1879 to 1881, when
money was &earer. securities sold
much highGa Strong people may
combine NStSall the market down
to accume3zf cheap stocks, but
the future is bright with promise,
and in our opinion all good securi-
ties are a purchase. There rarely
comes an occasion so favorable for
the making of money.
