PECAN TREES.

We haven't said anything for some
time on pecan culture, but we are
not forgetting the pecan all the same.
The following we clip from an ex-
change
"Mr. W. A Clifton, s. A L.
agent at Rich Square, has some OF
the finest young pecan trees growing
On the railroad land we have ever
seen A year ago the Seabosrd man.
ayers sent each station agent lot OF
pecans with instructions to plant
them on railroad land at the stations.
Mr.. Clifton prepared the ground well
for his trees, and now, one year later,
he has trees four and and half feet
high. He has one row OF II trees
planted so feet apart, that are grow
ing nicely. He has given them good
attention" s"
The S A L management is show
ing good judgment in thus putting
to practical use some Of its land and
is at the same time giving practical
object lesson to the people along its
lines, and others who may happen
that way The trees here spoken o;
are grown from the seed, and are not
the planting from nurseries, and con
sequently the cost is somewhat less,
in addition to which the planters
have pretty correct idea of the kind
of tree they will have without taking
the nurserynans word for it. 1t
will thus take a little longer to have
bearing trees, but iu the end it may
be better as it is also cbesper
Other railways in the State should
follow the example of the S A L in
this respect, and encourage the
planting of pecan, walnut and other
valuable trees, which in the future
will be a source Of revenue to the
people and to them There is not
the slightest danger of OVERRIDING this
business no matter how many trees
may be Wilmington Star

Profit IN Goat Raising.

In the wear book of The United States
department. Of agriculture, Mr. Almoot
Barnes, of the division OF statistics,
'.On Keeping Goa's for Profit" sug-
gests that raising coumon goats may te
made paying business 10 some portions
of the Uoited States. The demand for
dry skins in this country DOW requires
the annual slaughter of over Is, 900 600
goats, while in the United States only
about 100000 goats are raised Toe
Imports of skins for the year eoding
June 80. 1898. were valued at $l5.
76,901. Mr.. Raroes thinks a large
portion of unimproved land in the south
Atlantic, central and western divisions
nigh: be proftably devoted to goat
raising, though cheap labor would be
required. This can be bad wherever
there is large negro or Mexican
population.
Mr. Barnes reaches the conclusions :
l. That the Uaited States imports a
large and steadily increasing amount
OF goat skins for necessary use in home
manufactures.
9 That there is an aggregate area OF
265. 100000 acres of uoinproved farm
land in the Uoised States, large part
Of which is adapted 20 goats.
8. Over 81 per cent. of this uaim-
proved land is contained 10 the south
Atlantic, south eentrals aud part OF
the western states, where the conditions
are mole favorable than the average as
! to labor and climate.
4. These favorable conditions are
emphasized in much of the district by
reason of the abundance of cheap labor
due to dense negro population.
S The testimony of all goat raisers
confirms the special and favorable con-
disions. as relates to Angoras and to
goats for milk.
altogether, it is concluded that it
would be easy aud relatively inexpeo'
sive to furnish the home market with
the goat skins now imported TO the
value Of S25, 600, 900 per year.
