The Erie Obstinate.

The efforts of the Central Passenger As
ISOLATION to induce the Erie TO become a
member of the interchangeable mileage bu-
reau have thus far proved unavailing. It's
participation is greatly desired. as it is the
only road of Importance not in the arrange
ment and is leading to the cutting of pas
senger rates more or less. Erie officials al
lege that this shading of rates is simply
done to force their Chicago division. at
least into the Central Passenger AsSocia-
ton. In support of this allegation they claim
that their adherence to the association is
especially desired at this iuncture because
the Indiana Legislature is in session and
has before il a bill to reduce railway fares
I'm the State to cents per mile II is
claimed that the commercial travellers are
I'm favor of the bill. but II Is believed they
would drop the subject If they could secure
p mileage book good over all roads of In
diana. The Erie is practically the only road
which stands in the way of such a COM
promise. and thus far has shown no inten-
ton OF altering its attitude.

ed for the meal. Considering the labor
saved, and the better quality OF the
tobacco by reason of being free from
worm cuts, the cost amounts to moth
ing.
The writer used to think that the
Paris green and meal had to be busted
on the plants in the morning while the
dew is on them, and because of this
belief he could only do a limited
amount of work each morning. But
experience has demonstrated that the
gum on the leaves holds the Paris
green regardless of the dew, and now
he does this work any time of day,
though it is, of course, best to he done
in the morning, as the dew dissOlyes
and disseminates the poison.

Espinosa Culture.

Accepting the invitation of Mr.. w.
l.. VanDuzor a representative Of the
Valley Gazette visited his espin'Osa
farm at the old Morton place, about
six miles to the southwest of town.
He writes:
gThe road for about half the distance
follows the county road, and our at
tention was particularly struck by the
undulatory appearance of Shingle
Greek bridge, which may he alright,
but we would prefer to see the arch
upwards, instead of the deep depres-
sion that at present exists, and the
evident necessity of good roads was
very fully impressed upon us.
Emerging from the pine woods a
brilliant vista of green suddenly burst
upon us extending quite half a mile in
front. "There is the espinOsa," said
Mr.. VanDuzor, with very pa'rdonable
pride, noticing our admiring gaze.
Hitchtng UP our team we were soon
over the fence and walking down the
rows of fifty acre field, beyond which
was another smaller field and again
another one almost adjoining, in all
about seventy acres, whilst about two
miles further on are several more
fields of about the same acreage.
The seed was sown with a fertilizer
and seed dropper, the rows being about
five feet apart, and the plants nearly
four feet in the rows. This will give
about 1000 plants ito the acre. Several
seeds are dropped in each nll, and af-
ter they have attained about one foot
of growth, they are weeded out to, the
strongest plant. At the time of our
visit many of them were five feet in

height and nearly meeting across the
rows When fully grown they attain a
height of seven feet and are of a
spreading shrub nature, their long
bright green leaves presenting a very
pleasing and attractive appearance.
The seed is carried in long narrow
fattened. These pods contain from
thirty to about sixty small brownish
hard seed, which weigh so pounds to
the bJlshel, and they continue bearing
and ripening from about three months
after sowing till killed by the first
frost. which here seldom comes before
the goth of December. This gives near
.ly five months of harvesting and at
the same time enables the grower to
replant in the event of a poor stand at
the first or to fill up gaps. A very low
estimate of the yield would be one
pound to the plant, or one ton per acre
ion cowpchngi land it might be dou-
bile that quantity, and as there is prac-
tically an unlimited demand for the
seed at 1 13 cents per pound, even
taking the lowest estimate, the yield
would be worth $50 an acre
On the fields visited 200 pounds OF
fertilizer to the acre was used This
fertilizer contained a large percentage
of potash, an element almost absolute
ly requisite in Florida for all crops
The soil apparently best suited is the
fiat pine woods hammOclls, it's long
tap root enabling it to find moisture in
dry places. In it's early stages Of
growth it should be kept quite clean
of grass and weeds, but it's rapid
growth and spreading mature will soon
dispense with that work and give place
to the important business of securing
the crop.
H7he pod is held to the shrub by a
tough stem, which is best removed by
a small pair of clippers Pulling is
apt to tear away portion of the plant
the pods which when ripe open to very
Slight pressure, and therefore each
plant should be visited once a day and
the ripened pods removed This would
be an admirable work for children es-
pecially on the lower branches of the
shrub. AS the pods are so liable to
split open tight bags would be necs-
sary for their reception.
In addition to the above fields Mr.
VanDuzor has about 25 acres to the
north and east of Kissimmee and
somewhere about 300 acres of espinosa
planted near Barlow, which shows the
faith placed in this new product. and
as all these paintings have been on
different soils. the experiment, if it
may be so called, will be of the ut
most value, and the results will be
watched with the greatest interest by
all well wshers of the State.

worms, but before the WRITER discov-
cred it, he let the budwOrm do great
deal of damage to a portion of the
growing leaves The darkey was told
that his wages were reduced one half
until he did his work properly; he quit.
The writer at once took charge of the
pa tch, 'which is about $50 feet square,
| dlls ting it carefully with Paris green
and meal and putting out the cobalt
solution every evening into petunia
blooms distributed three ON each mar
gin and one lin the middle of the patch,
making nine poisoning boards i'm the
patch, while the Paris green and meal
was busted twice week by perforat-
ing the bottom of spice can with a
small wire nail, to which was soldered
piece of milk can, clevis-like, and
fastened to the end of a light white
ISpine stick about three feet long. This
twas held i'm the left hand while in the
right hand was carried piece of plas
terer's Hath about thirty inches long;
the can being held over the bud with
the left hand and a tap given the
stick with the lath which is held in
the right hand. This method is speedy,
requires little STOPPING for low plants,
and, after a few days experience, one
hand will do more towards Kidding the
plants of bud worms than hundred
hands can do by hand picking.
For more than a month now the CO.
halt solution has been persistently
used every evening and the field has
been kept free from horn worms, so
free that it is scarcely necessary to
worm lit, except when it is suckered.
Tobacco moth, sickened with the CO.
bait solution, have been found upon
the writer's and his neighbOr's prem
ises, as we'll as sick moths, from the
newly Matched to older ones, have been
found i'm the tobacco field clinging to
tobacco leaves.
