Bermuda's Revenue from Lilly Buds

The Bermuda lily was introduced In
to this country in 1875. Two plants In
bud and bloom were brought to Phila-
delphia by a lady and given to the for
list. This florist, appreciating their
beauty and value, cultivated the plants
for the bulbs. Since that time the ex.
porting Of the lily bulbs has been one
Of the industries Of Bermuda. Very
few lilies are exported, as the cut how-
ers do not arrive In good condition. Nor
does 1t pay to export the growing
plants, because Of the duty and the cost
Of freighting so delicate cargo. The
bulbs are exported all over the world
and are valuable source Of revenue.

been harvested. feature of great
value in the corn crop which ordinarily
is overlooked is the fodder. The feed
ing value of more than 100000 acres
of corn means millions of dollars when
properly utilized. If the corn crop is
deficient in grain value, there yet re-
mains feed value in the stalk that in
high priced feeds for all fodder eating
animals should not be overlooked to
the extent of waste, as is usual on the
Nebraska farm.
Corn fodder for cattle is one of the
best feeds that are production the farm
when cut, shocked and properly pre-
pared for feeding. The fodder value
of the damaged cornfields of Nebraska
this year used in carrying through
stock cattle, added to the value of the
corn crop, will equal the corn crop
value of the state for the past ten
years. Estimate the feeding value of
corn fodder at half that Of hay and
four tons of fodder per acre and S000,-
600 acres, with the prevailing price of
hay on the farm, and the fodder crop
will exceed the value of the corn crop
of last year.
Nebraska has suffered some of the
discOuragements and damaging inf1u-
ences of a drought from the recent
heated period that has prevailed over
the entire country, but not in the sense
of crop failure. The general business
interests Of the state will not yield to
this partial crop damage, and as the
live stock conditions adjust themselves
to the feed supply now on the farms
and that which will be added before
the feeding season commences a feel
ing of security and confidence will
again prevail, and Nebraska will scarce
ly realize in one year from now that
she was short of a full corn crop in
1901. CHARLES e. RICHARDSON.

THE PHENlX CITY.
Jacksonville Rapidly Recovering
From Last Mays Disastrous Fire.

ISpeClal correspondence
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 26.-With
true southern courage Jacksonville is
raising herself from the ashes left by
the holocaust of last May. Fourteen
hundred houses were burned, among
them the best in the city. Permits for
600 new editices to replace them have
already been issued.
The chief activity is naturally shown
in the rebuilding Of business structures.
In what was formerly the main retail
section the walls of one five story Of
flee building, to cost $4,000, are now
rapidly going up, and plans for another
of the same number of stories are be-
ing prepared.
Substantial brick buildings, most Of
them two stories, are being built on
the lots throughout the burned section.
This speaks well for the recuperative
powers of the community when it is
borne in mind that the total insurance
money collected was but $5O00,OOO,
while the best informed business men
place the total loss at from $15,000,000
to S20,0OOO00. In general, the new
business buildings will be decidedly
better than those Which were burned.
Work has been started in the rebuild
ing of the new Windsor hotel The
building burned was a frame, boxlike
structure of pine, four stories high and
covering almost the entire square. The
new Windsor is to be of brick, five sto-
rieS high, and is to cost $315, 00O
Residence building is comparatively
slow. People are rebuilding their stores
first. The families of the well to do
classes are for the most part in the
mountains or in the north, and it is
likely that the boom in home resto-
ration will not be considerable before
next year.
Nothing has been done yet as to pub
lie buildings, and none Of the churches
has been rebuilt, although all of them
Will be. Though the community has
by no means recovered from the fire,
the tore is cheerful and rebuilding and
plans of the new homes have long since
supplanted the fire and it's succeeding
period of desolation and suffering as
topics of popular conversation.

states named for 1900:

This makes a total Of 211, 900, 900
against 212,000,000 bushels for the
single state of Nebraska, a statement
which supplants argument and discour-
ages defamation
With but half a crop of corn for 1901
Nebraska will easily rank among the
very greatest corn producing sections
of the country. 1t is only in spots that
Nebraska has suffered. Wheat was
harvested before the season Of unusual
heat, and the acreage was very large
and the quality never better. Oats will
be but half a crop. Hay will be a
larger crop than last year. The only
section of the state which has suffered
total loss of corn is the southeastern
part, where farm lands are high in
value and farmers wealthy. In the
great western half of the state, a cattle
grazing country, splendid rains saved
the grass.
The favorable moisture conditions on
the north side of the state which have
prevailed to a greater or less extent
throughout the entire season are espe-
cially noticeable in the growth of vege-
tation IN the northwestern counties. All
through the great Elkhorn valley west
to Wyoming there is a condition Of
grass growth that has never had an
equal on the ranges in that part of the
state, and there is doubt if it's equal can
be found anywhere. The abundance
of rainfall over this district has caused
q luXuriant growth of all varieties Of
sand hill grasses, enabling the stock
man to cut hay any place on the range

OMAHA, Aug. 27.-When one stops and
considers the average temperature in
this city for 80 consecutive days, be-
ginning with the first day of the now
famous "hot SPELL" he will wonder how
the state of Nebraska escaped complete
devastation in its crops of grains, vege-
tables and fruits. From June 30 to
July 81 the average temperature gov,
eminent report was 9S3 degrees, and
for six consecutive days the mercury
reached an average of 103 degrees.
That Nebraska was not burned up COM
pletely was due to cOpiouS rains during
June, the absence of continuous hot
winds during the heated term and
chiefly to the self sustaining qualities
OF it's soil. The extent Of the drought
injury in Nebraska has been generally
discussed, and the conclusion has been
reached that not less than half a crop
Of corn will be marketed. Corn is the
greatest of Nebraska's products, hence
corn is specifically mentioned. In 1900
NebraSka'S corn crop was estimated
by the governments report at 212,0GO,-
600 bushels. These figures can be bet
ter comprehended by comparisons. Gen
