Broom Corn Growing.

Broom manufacturers from all parts
of the country met at the fremont
House, Chicago, March 7, for the pur-
pose of raising the price Of brooms so
as to correspond with the great ad-
vance in the price of corn. Broom
corn, which sold last fall at $50 per
ton is today worth 5000, and there is
a possibility of it's going to $500 in a
short time.
The great increase in price is not due
to a corner, but to actual shortage in
tn market. For several years broom
corn has been at a very low figure, and
as a consequence the farmers in the
central part of Illinois, where the bulk
of the corn is raised, have decreased
their acreage from year to year until
a short time ago the manufacturers
and brokers awOke to the startling fact
that there was a scarcity of broom
corn. In a week the price went from
$50 to $3.50 ton, and it has been grad
ually going up ever since.-Chicago
Inter-Ocean.
In view of the facts above set forth
there is reasonable grounds for the be-
lief that the growing of broom corn
may now be made profitable industry
in Florida. 1t has been clearly dem
onstrated that broom corn can be sue
cessfulIv crown in various parts of
this State, but heretofore the low price
of the product has offered no profit to
the grower. Brooms may be- manufac-
tured without an expensive outfit, and
we have no doubt that in sections
adapted to growing the corn, it would
not be a difficult matter to establish

Potato Scab.

Scab is a germ (bacteriaD disease,
produced only when germs Of the dis
ease effect Judgment upon the tubers
during their formation. This may
come about from their presence on the
tubers used for seed or from their pres
ence in the soil where scabby potatoes
have been previously grown.
If possible use ground in which po-
tatoes have not been grown, or at
least where the disease has not ap-
peared. Use smooth tubers for seed.
If the tubers, though smooth, have
been at any time mixed with scabby
potatoes, or if one wishes to be surely
on the safe side, the seed tubers
should be treated with a chemical
wash which will destroy any adhering
germs.
For this purpose corrosive sublimate
is probably the best. Mr. Galloway,
of the Department of Agriculture,
says: ''For the treatment of potato
has given the best results. This
should be prepared by dissOlving 2A
ounces of corrosive sublimate in about
2 gallons of hot water, and after an in
terval of ten to twelve hours diluting
with Is gallons of water" Farmers'
Bulletin No. Is page g.
The liquid should be placed in a
wooden vessel such as a barrell or
large tub. Earthenware would do, but
metal vessels of all descriptions must
be avoided, as they would be at once
attacked by the solution. The whole
potatoes can be placed in a gunny sack
and immersed for the required time,
about an hour and half. After being
taken from the solution they are
spread out to dry and planted in the
usual manner. If the tubers are dirty
they should be washed, or at least
freed from adhering soil before treat
ment. Scabby seed should not be used.
because it is difficult to reach and kill
all the germs in the cavities. CorrOs-
i've sl1blimate should cost about Is
cents an ounce.
In case it is necessary to plant upon
ground infected with scab, it has been
recommended that the burrows be
sprinkled with the solution in which
the tubers are soaked.

agement to extend their cultivation as
fast as the conditions will permit.
The regular shipping season for the
pine commences usually the last Of
May and closes about the first Of Aug
ust. After that there will be occasion
al small shipments until we'll into the
spring of the year. So that the period
of ripening really extends over at least
ten months of the year. How to make
the winter supply larger and more re-
liable is one of the problems of the
hour.
Pine culture is an industry that can
be most safely and successfully built
on moderate beginnings. The supply
of slips from the nature of the case,
must always be limited. If large plan
tations are to be started, many of the
slips will have to be imported. This
not only involves extra expense, but it
can only be done at considerable risk
of injury in shipment The slips of the
common varieties can usually be OBJ
tanned at about S. per thousand. From
5000 to $4,000 are planted on an acre.
The season of planting extends from
July through September. If healthy
slips, from eight to twelve inches long
can be obtained in July, the sooner
they are planted the better. Good slips
planted in July or August and we'll
cared for should yield a crop one year
from the following May. If not we'll
titled and fortified the plants will re-
quire another year to fruit. A small
per cent of the plants will require the
additional year to fruit even with
good care.
The returns from pine culture where
the conditions are favorable, really
place this business in the front rank
among fruit-growing interests. While
there are returns that seem almost
fabulous, there are others, as in the
case with all horticultural pursuits
where there is little to report but loss.
1t may be safely stated that five acres
jridciously devoted to pine culture will
bring more substantial returns for the
support of family than many large

The Pineapple as a Market Fruit.


Pine culture is now and always will
be in great need of men who are able
and willing to run chances by the in
PRODUCTION and trial of new varieties,
says Mr.. E. Gale, of Mangonia.
We have fresh fruit now lat some
seasons in moderate quantities. for
about ten months in the year. The in
crease and extension of this supply, by
the selection of early and late varieties
as we'll as by some changes in our
mode of cultivation, is an important
question as far as the pine growing in
terest is concerned.
Another important question is to find
some more reliable mode of putting
on the market in good condition the
tenderer varieties of pines. Tt is well
known fact that the best pines cannot
be successfully put upon the market
by our present mode Of handling and
transportation. The best pines are far
too tender for our rough modes of
handling and our ordinary slow trans
portation. The Queens have been a
source Of serious loss to the growers
the past season because many Of them
have reached market in bad condition.
The same must be also saidof the Abba
kas. Take again the Pernambuco pine,
which to enjoy in it's perfection should
be eaten with a spoon, as we eat an or
ange 1t is certainly ruinOus to put
this mass of delicate sweetness into an
ordinary crate and trust it to the ten
der mercy of a six or eight days
transit to the market to be sidetracked
it may be-to suit the convenience
of the transportation lines. Either our
northern friends must forego these
delicious fruits of the tropics or they
must help us to devise some more Sue
cessful mode of putting these fruits on
the market The question here involv-
ed concerns not simply the pine grow
err, but as we'll the transportation lines,
the commission men, and more than
all, the consumer.
There are varieties of pines that will
endure much rough handling. The
Red Spanish ais far as known yet takes
the lead among hardy pines. While we
are unable to command any more expe-
ditious and careful method of shipping,
this variety must retain it's lead with
the general planter.
The market demand for pines has
rapidly increased during the last four
or five years. We have every encour-

who, since the departure Of the Rus
sian fnanciers and drill instructors.
have wreaked vengeance by vile insult
and barbarous cruelty on the Korean
dragoman of the Russian embassy, the
official who safeguarded the removal
of the Korean emperor to the Russian
mission house. The missionary, his
wife ard family were ruthlessly tor
tured to make them confess to a false
charge of poisoning the emperor's cot
fee, to shield the real criminals, who
are among the highest officers. The
dragoman was brutally executed,
mutilated publicly and made sport of
in a savage and disgusting manner.
All this, the writer says, occurred in a
country blessed with American and
other Christian missionaries, and
where American officials occupy in
huential posts in the Korean govern
ment service.

eign corporations doing business with
in their limits. The decision was rem
dered in a case Instituted against the
comptroller Of the state of New York
to vacate an assessment made on the
capital of large western drug house
having branch in New York city. The
validity Of the New York law was sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court in af-
irmance Of the decision rendered be-
low. Judge Shiras, who announced the
decision of the court. said that the law
was settled that a state might impose
such conditions for permitting for
eign corporation to do business within
its limits as it might deem expedient.
and that it might make the grant de-
pendent upon the payment of a spe-
cific license tax or sum proportioned
to the use of it's capital used within
the state, and that this did not consti-
tute discrimination against the prod

QUESTION THAT IS PULLING.
The Continuation of the Cubans in
Arms.

The Continual ton of the Cubans in
Arms.
Havana, Jan. 4.-The continuance of
the CubanS in arms is the most puz-
cling question connected with the ad-
mlnistration of the island. The nego-
tiatlons for the payment of the soldiers
are to be conducted from Washington,
so as to relieve Gen. Brooke Of this
difficulty. For the present the Cuban
commanders are holding their men
closely together and under discipline.
Gen. Davis, military governor of the
department OF Pinar del Rio, has gone
into the matter fully with Gen. Memo
cal and other Cuban commanders,
They say that they expect the United
States to pay them and that they will
not dlsband until they get an answer.
The majority of military observers
here seem to think that probably the
easiest way out is to make the pay
ment, taking a mortgage on the reve-
nues Of Cuba in the form OF bonds.
There are probably $4,000 men able to
work, but now sponging on their coull-
try. IT paid off on condition that their
arms are surrendered they would have
no excuse for not working. The Unit
ed States military authorities do not

A serious question of jail etiquette
has arisen at Eureka Springs, Ark,
where four convicts absented them
selves without leave from the county
prison and went to a dance. In the
morning they were all back again at
the Jail door, clamoring for admission,
and breakfast. The justly incensed
jailer refused to take them in, saying
they had abused his hospitality. The
matter was taken to higher authorities
and the exiles have obtained their old
quarters. On the whole, this decision
was just. Some slight punishment
should be inflicted on the absentees,
but a good deal can be excused to
high spirits, while it should not be
held that a mere frolicsome escapade
like this should forfeit a prisoners
legal right to food and shelter. There
