A Novel Hay Making Scheme.

The farmers have been taking their
innings lately and have talked so
much about hay that don't see how
you dare look a cow in the face and
yet no one has struck the rich vein in
hay-making that have, and 1 want TO
tell you and them about it.
1 don't know anything about crab
grass or -beggarweed. My strong suit
is velvet beans. l don't even know
whether it makes good hay or not (if
it don't, then this whole country is
we'll populated with cheerful liars),
but l know how to grow it for hay
and this is the way:
Get the land in good filth in June.
Cut poles about ten feet long and trim
them off smooth ana stick them in the
ground about four feet apart each
way. Plant three good beans to the
hill close to the pole and always on the
same side. Serve notice on your neigh
bOrs' COWS and raZorbacks to 'Keep off
the grass and then go off on your
summer vacation. Come back as the
weather is settled and send a small
boy through to cut the vines at the
ground. Let it stay there until it is
cured, then slip the poles and get it
into the barn the best way you can
until the barn is full After that you
can let your neighbors fill their barns
and the balance will do for fertilizer
If you plant ten acres that way, it will
just take a barn ten acres big and ten
feet high to hold it.-E. w. Codington,
in Barlow Courier Informant.

A Valuable Bulletin.

Bulletin, No. 40 has just been issued
by the Florida Experiment Station,
and is one of the most valuable pub
lications issued by the station.
The bulletin treats of pineapple fer
tilizers, and shows earnest and thor
ough investigation on the part of the
author, Mr.. 2. III. Rolls.
In the introduction Mr.. Rolls says:
The pineapple plant is native of
Tropical America. Consequently the
history of it's cultivation does not date
back of 1892. While this fruit has
been considered a luxury from the
first, it's cultivation on a large scale
has been somewhat tardy. During
the earlier times after it's discovery,
it was grown as a hot house plant in
various European countries, but only
to limited extent, the cost Of it's pro-
duction being so great that only the
favored few were able to propagate it.
In the West Indies it has been grown
on commercial scale for many years,
thriving there without special prOtec-
ton or cultivation. From these is
lands the plants were gradually dis
seminated to the Keys of Florida and
finally to the main land. The increase
in production on the Florida coast has
been somewhat slow until quite re-
Gently. According to Prof Weber the
total number of pines raised in Florida
during the year 1894 was about 3,OOO,-
600 fruits, or 5000 whole barrel
crates. In 1895 there were 22,S35
whole barrel crates shipped from
Florida. Since the crop has been in

Dre-eminently an ideal place for eX-
perimenting with these substances.
From the foregoing discussion of the
chemical analyses of the soil the
thoughtful reader will have discover
ed that we have here an almost in
soluble medium in which the plants
rest. Any addition to the soil must,
therefore, react directly upon the pine
apple plants. The whole field is near
ly in such condition as the scientific
workers desire to have for studying
the effects of plant food. The expert
menter thus having almost insOluble
medium in which to grow plants may
add the commercial fertilizers in such
quantities and combinations as he de-
sires. The pineapple soil being prac-
tically insoluble the disturbing agent,
if any exists, must be contained in the
fertilizer. Thus having such ideal con-
ditions the work of these experiments
was begun with enthusiasm that was
only surpassed by that experience as
the work progressed.
Opinions of FertiliZers.-There is
probably no greater diversity of opin-
ion on any subject than in regard to
the kind of commercial fertilizer to be
used Every pineapple grower seems
to have a favorite fertilizer house and
favorite brand of fertilizers. By
turning to the reports of the State
chemists from various portions of the

Harvesting Broom Straw.

writer in the Leesburg COmmer>
cial, who proposes to start a broom
factory at Leesburg, gives the follow,
ing advice in reference to curing and
harvesting the straw:
"After the seed or straw heads ap>
pear it will be but a few days before
the seeds begin to turn red and the
straw will spread out and bend down.
Then go through your field every two
or three days, and, catching the stalk
that contains such heads about six or
eight inches below the head, bend the
head down. This throws a certain
amount of the sap into the straw and
keeps it straight The heads can be
bent down about as fast as one can
walk along the rows. If turned down
previous to time mentioned the straw
will have a light color and a tendency
to be brittle. After turning down al
low it to hang until the seeds ripen
(turn the color of those you piantcd)
then cut the heads off from three to
five inches below the head. When
cured for market it must be baled,
We buy it in any shape, so the straw
is not broken or too crooked. About
the handiest way is to cut until you
get a handful of heads then tie with
a Irvine or one of the straws.
''This makes it convenient to nan
die while drying and these ''hands'
can be thrown on the wagon loose or
bound into bundles.

cit is one of the surest of crops, so
far as money is concerned. The mar

reason that there are but few sections

lower hoop, so as to prevent the small
er hoop from falling downward
through the larger bottom hoop and
the hooked ends of the arms are
adapted to prevent the smaller hoop
from being accidentally moved later
ally, which movement might olsen
gage the arms from the larger hoop
and permit the smaller hoop to fan
therethrough. The device is carried
by the lower larger hoop when plac-
ing it in position, and after the cover
has been engaged with the pole the
larger hoop is released, which is free
to drop to the ground as herelnbefOre
described. The radial arms with their
hooked ends, provide locking devices
for holding the hoops together in their
collapsed or folded position in apply
ing the protector to plant or tree.
1t will be understood that in some
instances it may be desirable to have
the hoops of the same size, and to
meet such a condition a modified form
of connection for the hoops has been
provided.
At preferably Numerically opposite
points of the upper hoop there arc
provided flexible connections or cords
and at corresponding points of the low
er hoop are provided suitable buttons,
cleats, or equivalent devices. After
the device has been folded the cords
are twisted about or engaged with the
buttons, whereby the two hoops are eff
fectively connected together. The de-
vice can then be elevated above the
tree. and then the cords Or flexible con-
nections are released from the buttons
and the bottom hoop is free to be drop
ped.
The present device provides an eX-
ceedingly useful and effective protec-
tor against the effects of the weather
and may be used to fumigate and de-
strOy insects, as will be understood.
Changes in the form, proportion, size,
and the minor details of construction
within the scope of the appended
claims may be resorted to without de-
parting from the spirit or sacrificing
any of the advantages of the present
invention.

The area of the State in which pine
apples are being grown is also rapidly
extending. Formerly it was thought
that only the East Coast was adapted
to the raising of pines. Later they
were introduced into the Avon Park
and Fort Myers section. Now they are
being planted more or less extensively
at Orlando, the St. Petersburg PENN
sula, along the Manatee, at Citra, and
at DeLand.
In the more northern localities they
are carefully protected from frosts by
sheds and fires. The most rapid in
crease in acreage has been along the
East Coast on the Indian River, and
it is probable that this will continue to
be pre-eminently the pineapple Sec
ton of Florida. The rapid transpor-
tatiOn facilities afforded by the East
effect upon the increase of acreage of
this fruit in that section.
Soils.-From a geological stand
point Florida is of very recent
origin, especially is it true of
that portion south and east
of a line drawn from Jacksonville to
Tampa. We are told that at one time
all of this portion of Florida was part
of the great sea bottom, not very deep,
q 81 al iilS,
shore. AS these gradually accumular-
ed material, soil was built up by Man,
grove trees and other vegetables ar
resting the sand which was finally
blown higher by wind, forming sand
dunes. Later another reef would form
outward in the sea repeating the pro
cess cited above. Finally, we have
as the latest one formed, the island
outside of the Indian river, thus MAX
ing the land to the west of the Indian
river and east of the Glades of COM
paratively very recent origin. Careful
examination of the soil shows that the
whole section along the East Coast is
decidedly of marine origin.
While chemical analyses and physi-
cal analyses of the soil have given us
no sure index by which we may choose
soil for pineapple growing we have
another means of determining this
which is much less expensive, and at
the same time quite reliable This is
by observing the native vegetables up
on the piece of land in question. The
native spruce pine land with a fairly
good sprinkling of hard wood, such as
hickory and scrub oaks, can always be
relied upon as being land that will
produce a good field of pines, other
conditions being favorable. This kind
of an index is not confined to the
pineapple land by any means. The
hammock lands of Florida have long
been known to be of superior quality
for raising oranges and vegetables.
First class pine land also gives good
results. So that all we have to do is
to go to nature and ask her the Ques-
ton, and if we are sufficiently taught
we may read the answer. Hundreds
of thousands Of pineapple plants have
been set out upon flat woods lands,

Now for the reason. The man woman
worn out with overwork or nervous prostra-
ton will find an Immediate gain in strength
by the use OF Grape-Nuts and cream. be-
cause OF the fact that the natural phosphate
of potash obtained from certain parts OF the
grains, is one of the strong elements In
Grape-Nuts. and this Is presented 10 the
system in the form demanded by nature:
not as a drug.
The system takes up the needed particles
of phosphate of potash and II is now known
that the soft gray matter which fills the
delicate nerve centers throughout the body

New York Press
When the story Of the cruel treatment OF
Dreyfus on the lie du Diable was made pub
!ic, attention was drawn to the former
French colonial minister. Lebror, and 20 his
ancestry 1t was under Lebron's orders that
the cruelties were inflicted upon Dreyfus.
and it would seem as IL the ex-minister
came from a race capable OF any sort OF
atrocities.
NJ. Lebron is a great-grandson of the
renegade priest, Lebron. who was a member
of the National Convention, and one of the
most blood-thirsty monsters produced by
the French revolution. As representative OF
the convention at Arras. he made mothers
stand by the guillotine while their children
were being put to death TO the sound OF a
military band. Dipping his sword in the
blood, he exclaimed: How ] love it." IL Is
agreeable to read that he, too. was guillo-
tined in the last weeks of the convention.
Such is the ancestry Of the man who tor
tured Dreyfus.
