PROFIT FROM PINEAPPLES.

One thousand dollars an acre is said
to be a common result in Florida. Ari-
IONA with equally fertile soil and
equally favorable climate should sure
ly do as well.
From the Atlanta Journal we ex
tract the following:
The high grade pineapples grown in
the interior of the Florida peninsula
are, like Florida oranges, 1.-The best in
the world The growing of the COM
mon varieties on the lower coast and
keys has been carried on for many
years, and the business is prosperous
ana hourishing one. 1t is only within
the last few years that the growing OF
the fine varieties of this king of fruits
has attained Importance in this state.
Ten years ago it is doubtful if an
area of an acre in extent of any one
of the high grade pineapples could be
found in Orange county Pineapple
growing was not carried on as a COM
mercial undertaking. The business
began with two or three individuals
who saw money in the production of
the large sized and high favored sorts.
1t was impossible to secure plants of
these varieties in any considerable
numbers. The pioneers wer compelled
to start in a small way and increase
their pineries as young plants were
ipropagated The increase comes from
1.-THE crowns on the tops of the fruit,
from slips which come out at the base
Iof the apple, and from suckers which
come from the stem or body of the
plant near the ground. Any of these
simply stuck in the ground, which has
been previously well prepared, will
grow rapidly and will produce fruit IN
from one to three years. The length
of time depends upon the variety and
also upon the size of the young plant
when put out.
The variety which finds most favor
among the growers of this vicinity is
the Smooth Cayenne. 1t has several
advantages. Other varieties have
leaves OF blades with serrated edges

PROFITS IN CATTLE RAISING.

Those who receive the highest prices
for cattle get them into market in the
shortest period of time, as the object
is to save a year in feeding. II is
loss to keep an animal four years ii
it can be gotten into market when !
years old for the years time aaveo
means labor and food as we'll as in
terest on capital invested. With the
use of such beef producing breeds as
the ShorthOrns, Herefords, Angus and
Galloways, an average weight Oh 2,00''
pounds per animal has been obtained
in four years, while 3-year-olds have
reached 1,SO0 pounds, and 2-year-olds
400 pounds, the daily increase being
over two pounds for the yearliGg up
to two years old, and from 112 pounds
to IL pounds for older animals The
live weights only are given, but AMI
mails have dressed 671a per cent when
in prime condition. Experiments
showing such results have been IRE
quently made, and should coDvirce ali
farmers that they can produce steers
that will weigh 1900 pounds live

proper breeds. Profit is made by US

desired.

Executive Department. Territory Of

The Goth day of May has by national
and territorial legislation been set apart
as a public holiday, and consecrated to
the memory of the dead soldiers of the
republic, who made a tender of their
lives that the Union might live.

deeds of valor, heroism and self-sacrifice.
Now, therefore, 1, Myron H. McCord,
governor of the territory of Arizona, do
hereby request that the people of the ter
ritory close their places of business on
that day and join the surviving members
of the Grand Army of the Republic in
their memorial services, and by such rec
ognition, prompted by gratitude. emulate
that spirit of patriotism and loyalty
with which our people are so generously
inspired.
Done at the capital. this 21st day of
