The first of these is just what Mr..
Purse told us at the Board Of Trade
rooms the other day, viz: Establish a
central factory at Jacksonville. There
are thousands Of acres of the best pos
enough on river and rail. Others will
follow, and the time will soon come
for a refinery.
To make this q success, action must
be had at once; we can, If we will,
and if we do We'll then send a suitable
man out to see how much seed there
is and who has it, and at the same
time interview farmers to explain and
make contracts for planting.
Probably not one Of the men who are
now running a $40 mill and getting 10
per cent. or less of the juice but will
be too glad to sell his cane. l called
last fall on a friend, whom you in
Jacksonville all know, who at the time
was grinmng cane. In answer to tile
salutation: How do you get on?'
He replied: 81 believe l am making
% cents a day" and l don't believe he
understated it, A little horse, a little
mill, one deep kettle, and what could
he do? Suppose mill on the river,
of course with lighters arranged for
machine-unloading, and my friend
three miles from wharf; he cOutl
make four loads per day or four tons,
and get $14 to SIG, have the job done
in a few days and be ready for other
work Last, but not least, he would
have the money in a lump instead of
more or less barrels of syrup to get
rid Of
Suppose we go into this little deep
er.
Take my friend again and allow him
twenty-five tons. Selling cane he gets
cash, $780, less the hauling. Suppose
twenty-five gallons of syrup, and that
he gets one-half of it in his rude mill
and it's quite doubtful if he does as
we'll as that-and he has, at 25 cents
per gallon, $7S.1O; charged with manu-
facture, barrels and the expense of
selling.
BY the time he is done with it he will
be in about the position Of the CORE
farmer, who is unlucky enough to be
eight or ten miles from the station,
and has to spend one whole day to
haul the product Of one whole acre to
market, getting enough for it to pay
for the day, hauling to market, and
the day spent in husking it. Refer
ring to the corn farmer brings me 10
say one thing, and 1 believe 1 can
prove it; that is, the Florida farmer
has better money making opportunities
with his cane, his cassava, his cotton
his facilities for fattening stock, chan
his Northern competitor.

Climate and Fertility.

Climate and Fertility.
Fertility, in the sense used in this
article, refers to available plant food
in the soil Available plant food
means substantially the elements of
fertility, nitrogen, potash and phos
phoric acid) in such form that they
are dissolved by soil water under or
dinary conditions. The natural condi-
tion Of soils is, of course, to exist in
a highly insoluble condition, else the
continued washing and teaching of
rains would carry the soil into the sea-
While the great bulk of earth mat
ter in soils remains practically un-
changed under the action of water, a
very small proportion gradually be-
comes soluble and carried off by the
natural drainage Of the land. This
small proportion is composed largely
of the very substances which are most
useful as plant food.
responsible for all such losses. Air
and sunshine have powerful influences
as also do temperature changes. Bac-
terial action is also an important fac
tor The rapidity with which this sOlv-
ent action occurs is largely dependent
on climate. In cold climate, for ap-
proximately half the year, the soil is
frozen, or chilled by frost, not only
does the solvent action of air, water
and sunshine become almost nothing
but the bacterial action is also
checked. AS a partial cOmpen-
sation, the freezing and thawing in
fall and spring have a powerful action
in breaking down rocky particles. In
the South where the soil is rarely froz-
EN-, the solvent action each year is
much greater than in the North
This is one Of those points, more or
less Withdrawn from the field Of prac-
tical observation, which has a marked
influence on agricultural improve
ment.
The ultimate result Of these natural
conditions is that in the South soils
are more quickly exhausted than in
the North This is shown by the enor-
NOUS consumption Of artificial ma
nures in the South. The South uses
fully IS per cent. Of the total fertilizer
consumption Of the United States.
Georgia alone uses each year fully
one-fifth the total output of manufac~
tured fertilizers. On bottom lands
where annual flooding renews the fer
tility, losses by washing and drainage
are fully made good by the deposited
sediment; but this is at the expense of
some other section which has lost what
the bottom land has gained.

the publishers few Gays ago and the
melody and words were so pretty and
melodious that we cannot help but
reprint the chorus for our readers:
One has hair of silvery gray,
The other just like gold,
One is gay and youthful
While the others bent and old.
But dearer than life are both to me,
And from neither would / part,
One is my mother. God bless her /
love her,
The other is my sweet heart.

THE FIRE FIEND
A Serious COnflagation Only Averted
by the Herculean Efforts of the
Brave Fire Ladies'.

Last Saturday at about ten o'clock in
and upon investigation the entire upper
part of SchwartZ's machine shop was
discovered to be in flames. Never were
the firemen more prompt in responding
to the call and in an increditably short
time three streams Of water were play.
ing on the burning building. Situated
as it was in the upper part and directly
under the roof and running the entire
length of the long building it WAS some
time before it could be brought under con-
troll, but never once did the fire reach
below the ceiling, the entire roof burn
ing nearly off however 1t is supposed
that the fire originated from spark
coming from the furnace blast as the
men had just finished casting when the
alarm was given. This spark undoubt-
edly burned its way through the roof
and, as the upper part was enclosed en-.
tirely and filled with the dust accumu.
lating for number Of years, an ex.
plosion must have occurred, for when it
Vas discovered the fire was in the entire
length of the building. Mr. Schwartz
carried insurance in the German. Amer
lean company and on Tuesday the rep.
resentative of the company was here
and adjusted the loss at $35755, which
was fully satisfactory.
In the afternoon of the same day an
an alarm was turned in, caused by the
burning of some old papers that had
caught fire in the stove in Judge Dun
hams office. The stove pipe was down
and the room had filled with smoke. No
hose was laid and no damage done ex-
cept to the feelings of those in buildings
in close promixity.

PEANUT GROWS IN USE,

Chicago Tribune: The American pea
nut is a small thing, but it is by no means
to be despised. From the mere delight
of the small boy m the joy of the itin-
Grant vender of sidewalk supplies it has
gradually evolved into a valuable and re-
speeted article of diet and commerce., and
food students, physicians and scientific
men in general are earnestly ~endeavoring
to render it popular in the first named
capacity. Every desirable food property
known is sale to hide itself within the
insignificant looking shell of the peanut,
and Uncle SANS soldiers, it is rumored,
are soon to nave regular peanut rations
served to them just as the British Tommy
Atkins in India gets his share of pre-
pared chocolate every day.
In addition to it's nutritious advantages
the peanut also enjoys those of being both
phenOmenally cheap and also practically
unspoilable. And almost every portion of
the peanut, from vine to outer shell, may
be made useful in some manner. The
shells, ground into a coarse fiour and
mixed with bran or other provender,
make a food for cattle which turns them
out looking fit for a kings chariot and
actually longing for work. The kernels
may be served up in a variety of forms
ranging from flour to butter. OF the lat
ter. which is said to be especially good to
the taste, something like eight pounds
may be manufactured for about 80 cents,
and peanut butter charms the heart of
the careful and economical housewife on
account of it's extreme versatility.
Trimmed down with a little cold water it
makes a good cream for coffee, tea or ice
cream. Double the quantity and you have
a good milk to drink. Once again, and,
with the addition of some tomatoes or
other favorlng matter, you " a deli
Cious and health-giving soup. These, at
least, are the conclusions reached by the
physicians and students, who are peanut
lovers, for purely scientific reasons.
That the people of America in general
+ of Chicago in particular need no
teaching in regard to peanut consunp-
ton would seem to be clearly evident.
Over 1000 900 sacks OF peanuts, each aver
aging 100 pounds in weight, are disposed
of in the United States annually. A good
three-tenths of this total come to Chi
cage. There are enough peanuts, shelled
and unshelled, in the city at present to
flood all the downtown district. At the
single peanut factory in Chicago-and
there are but three such establishments
north of the Virginia peanut belt"-suf-
ficient peanuts are always on hand to
cover the entire block upon which the
factory stands to the respectable height
of 10 feet or whereabouts. And a goOdly
share Of all these peanuts will progress in
the evolutionary process by going down
Chicago threats. There are no peanut
eaters in the world like those of Chicago,
so say the men who ought to know where
Of they speak.
