They parted with clasped hands
And kisses and burning tears.
They met in foreign land
After some twenty years
Met as acquaintance meet:
Smiling. tranquil-eyed;
Not even the least little beat
or the heart upon ekher sido,
They chatted of this and that.
The nothings that make up life.
She In a Gainsborough hat,
And he in black for his wife.
All, what n comedy this
Neither was hurt II appears;
Yet once she had leaned to his kiss,
And once he had known her tears.

Mona was never tempted to carry
her threat into execution. Charlie
Branscombes troublesome career came
to a sudden end by the bursting OF an

tears to his memory that his faithful

CURIOUS PETS FOR WOMEN.

Some minds are strikingly original,
even in the choice of pets. Certainly
this was the case with the wife of a
gentleman farmer who made pet Of a
pig. The animal lost its mother early,
and the lady, taking pity on the little
orphan, bore it OFF to the kitchen,
where she succeeded by the aid of a
feeding bottle, in rearing it.

A lady who was confined to her room
had a fowl which, before her illness,

A much more extraordinary instance
Of strange pet, for a woman, at any
rate, was where an old lady so far

lost the tiny animal would take crumbs

the cold, all that remained were those
in Lee county, mostly on the south
bank of the Caloosahatche river,
which empties into the gulf a long
way south of Tampa, and some of
those in the Manatee river section, a
little further north. Their partial es-
cape put new heart into these dis
tricts, and cultivation and planting
went on apace, aided by growers from
the frozen-out parts, so that the yield
has been sensibly augmented, and the
these lower gulf oranges were not
thought much of, but high prices have
stimulated higher cultivation, with the
inevitable happy result
Before the 'big freeze,''' growers
found enough profit at soc a box on
the trees to induce increasing acre
age each year, and this price was bas-
ed on the aggregate yield of five mil
lion boxes. Since, the yield has been
100000 boxes or less, and the price on
the trees so to So. The latter figure
has been exceeded upon the present
crop, though to what extent it is too
soon now, to know. If, however, the
profit was encouraging at SOC, it is
easy to understand the all-over pleas
ant feeling of the grove owner when
he pockets the So.

profit would induce orchardists from

About Bananas.

'"rhere is no fruit, either of dOmes-
tic or foreign growth, for which there
is such a steady demand, at all sea-
sons, throughout the United States as
the banana said a leading wholesale
dealer in fruit in New York to the
writer the other day. Indeed, the
banana, like the peanut-eating habit,
seems to increase in the county an
nually. Ten years ago 100000
punches of bananas would satisfy the
American demand for the fruit, but
last year the twenty or more importers
of bananas sold as many as 100000
punches. Of that quantity about f.
100000 punches, chiefly Of the yellow
skinned variety, were alone consumed
in New York City.
"While the yellow-skinned fruit is
now more abundant, cheaper and
more extensively eaten than ever be-
fore the red-skinned banana grown in
Cuba. is both scarce and high-prlced
Such bananas are, at present, only
shipped in comparatively small guam
titles. and are selling readily at from
to cents each retail. The Cuban
n,oduct is limited, owing to the fact
that many of the larger banana plan
+a+ions were so badly ruined or neg
,eeted during the recent war that they
do not yield the great amount OF fruit
that they formerly did. In the matter

Florida Orange Culture Reviving.
Owing to repeated freezes, Florida
has never recovered from the prostra-
ton of her chief industry by the ia
nous cold of '94-5, which ruined the
trees, causing at best a setback Of
three or four years, even if Il return
of the former warm winter weather
permitted the new growth to mature.
Excepting the occasional groves in va
rious parts of the State that escaped
because of an unusually protected To-
cation, or from some lucky trick of
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-11-29

of taste, however, the Cuban variety
is in no way superior to the common
yellow sort, but the red-tinted banana
is by some considered more ornament
al to place on the table, and for that
reason it is a favorite.
Bananas come from Limon, in Co.'S
ia Rica; Santa Maria in the United
States of Colombia, and also from the
Island of Jamaica, where is perhaps
grown the finest quality and largest
quantity of the yellow skinned fruit,
The banana tree yields fruit every
month in the year. Each tree bears
from one to three punches of the fruit,
containing from 100 to 200 bananas.
The fruit is not allowed to ripen on
the tree 1t is gathered while still
green, and given so many days to rip
en- on the steamer ON which it is ship
ped to market in this country.
''When buying bananas never pur-
chase the long thin ones, unless you
want fruit which will quicker your
mouth. No matter how we'll ripened
these thin bananas may appear to be,
they will always be found both sour
and acrid. This is because the bunch
which contained them was picked too
soon. The banana grows fastest at first
in length. When it has reached it's
full development in that direction it
suddenly begins to swell, and in a few
days will double it's girth. 1t is at the
end of this time that it begins to ripen
naturally, and the effort of the banana
importer is to have the fruit gathered
at the last possible moment, and yet
before the ripening has progressed
even enough to >tinge the bright green
of the fruit with yellow. A difference
of twenty-four hours on the trees at
this time will made a difference in the
weight of the fruit of perhaps 25 per
cent, and all the difference in it's flaw
or between puckery sour and the
sweetness and smOothness which are
so characteristic of the ripe banana"

Kidding it of all vegetable matter, a

can be produced-an article which
will readily sell for 80 cents per gallon
and baSing the average production OF
syrup at 100 gallons per acre, you will
note that $500 has been realized from
the syrup. A beautiful white sugar
may also be made by the Majestic
process-a sugar purer than the gran
ulated article, and equally as white
and clear.
''The refuse from the mill may also
be utilized to profit, by the manufac-
ture of vinegar After depositing the

thoroughly fermented, draw the fer
mentation off from the bottom by

attached to the drip Add to every
so gallons of liquid two and one-half
ounces of tartaric acid, which gives it
eth n
mate is taken you will find that you
have realized 5000 gallons Of pure
vinegar from the refuse Of one acre of
cane, which will net from II to ii
cents per gallon, aggregating 1920 in
hard cash.
"After the vinegar has been depos
tied in the barrels, it would be well
to turn the barrels over every day for
twelve or fifteen days, as this process
will aid the tartaric acid to effect.
''In the spring, at the time the
bank cane is usually planted, take a
deep pillow and uncover your 'nubs,
blowing near the roots. Sprinkle fer
tilizer or compost in the furrow, after
which replace the earth by the cover

your efforts will be rewarded by a

gregating the proceeds at $1,O7O, it
can be readily seen that the cane crop
is the money crop Of this section."-
