New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-

Price.
The stock of the Consolidated railroad
took an upward turn on Thursday and
Friday of last week, selling from 1853 to
IT'S, the closing price being 174a. Bos-
ton brokerage houses were the buyers
at the highest prices. Debentures also
advanced from 1874 to 1877, the closing
piice being 1861.
A syndicate composed of Kidder, Pea
body & Co., r. L. Day & Co and Esta-
brook & Co. have bought from the
treasury Of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad lot of stock
and bonds, aggregating in value to
about $12OOO,OOO the principal item be-
ing the 100000 Of the new per cent.
bonds of the New England railroad.
These bonds are dated in 1895 and due
in 1915, have fifty years to run and
principal payable in gold, and on each
bond is the guarantee in writing of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad, These will undoubtedly be a
popular bond for trustees, as they are
non-taxable and have a long time to
run. Technically, they will not be
available for savings banks Of the
state, owing to the wording Of the
state law. This sale will pay the en-
tire floating debt of the New York,

Proof enough that your food is the

You feel it yourself,
You have nausea, loss of appetite,
headache, giddiness, pain in the stom-
ach, loss of strength, spirits and ambi-
ton.
What do you think? That it's your

But it's not. It's simply your stom-
ach.
Food is strength. Stomach makes it
available. If stomach won't work, food
does not become available strength.

Pineapple Fiber.

A correspondent of the Titusville
Advocate gives some interesting facts
regarding the qualities and manufac-
ture of pineapple fiber, which, appar-
emily, ought to become a valuable by
product of the pineapple fields of
Florida.
At a recent British exhibition, the
pineapple fiber of Singapore Qndia)
bore strain of $50 pounds against
S6O pounds for New Zealand flax. The
last-named has been demonstrated by
experiment to be superior to the best
English hemp.
In the Journal of the Agricultural
Society of India there is record of
rope of pineapple fiber, three and one
3 fourth inches in circumference, stand
ing strain of 5,7OO pounds before
breaking.
4 In the PHILIPPINE Islands beautiful
fabric, known as pima cloth, is made
from the fiber.
y The leaves of the pineapple are OF
no value to the plant after the fruit
is removed, and using them for fiber
!. is simply utilizing a waste product
for valuable purpose. Machines are
now constructed specially for clean
! ing the leaves of the pineapple plant
in large quantities, and they can be
produced at a nominal cost. These de-
corticators are built on the same
principle as the automatic machines
for cleaning the Agave Sisalana and
Sansaveria plants, the cleaning parts
being made smaller and finer adjust

Fertilizing the Onion.


Something can be learned about
fertilizing the onion by studying it's
composition. An analysis made by the
Connecticut experiment station of on
ions showed that 1900 pounds of ma
tured bulbs contained 2.70 pounds of
nitrogen, 0.92 pounds of phosphoric
acid, and 200 pounds of potash. The
average legal weight per bushel in
different parts of the Union is about
Sc pounds. A yield of 800 bushels per
acre is frequently reported. A crop
of this size (44,S00 pounds) therefore,
would remove from an acre of soil
6O.4S pounds of nitrogen, 2O.61 pounds
of phosphoric acid, and 1862 pounds
of potash.
Barnyard manure is Indispensable
in the production of superior bulbs,
unless the soil naturally contains a
large amount of humus (decomposed
vegetable matter). Muck soil may be
properly treated with concentrated
commercial fertilizers alone, but
nothing can be enirely substituted
for barnyard manure in other soils
with as satisfactory results. Hen
manure is very highly esteemed by
onion growers, because of it's high
percentage of fertilizing constituents.
Next to this manure, that from the
pigsty is considered most valuable,
although rotten barnyard manure Of
any kind gives good results.
1t is customary to deposit the ma
nure in large piles where it can under
go fermentation, or to compost it
with other materials. From forty to
seventy-five loads per acre should be
applied if a large yield is expected.
1t should be spread before blowing
in the fall or early spring, a manure
spreader being valuable for this pur-
pose. Hen manure will produce the
best results when applied as topdress-
ing before planting. Poultry drop
pings should be dried and pulverized
before broadcasting. Specially pre-
pared composts should also be spread
after blowing, and thoroughly mixed
with the surface soil by narrowing.

ed, to act on the much smaller leaves
of the pineapple. 1t is claimed for
this decorticator that it will clean
100000 pineapple leaves in day,
which would amount to about ten
tons of leaves, with a yield of about
600 pounds of fiber
The fiber from the leaves of the
pineapple plant is destined to become
one of the greatest and most profit
able products in the state. 1t is claim
ed for pineapple fiber that constant
immersion in water does not in the
least injure it, and the natives of the
East Indies increase this property by
tanning it. In tests of strength, pine
apple fiber exhibits superior tenacity.
