For shallow-draught steamers, both
side-wheels and stern-wheels have dis
advantages, especially in the weight of
their machinery, while propellers-as
they have been used in fixed tunnels
lose efficiency through increased fric-
ton, as loading sinks the tunnels open
ing. In a new English propeller boat for
shallow rivers, the stern end of the
tunnel is made adjustable by a hinged
flap. Raising or lowering the flap
keeps the tunnel opening just below the
surface of The water, and, it is claim

succcssruI MuskmeIon Culture.

Since the muskmelon blight has be-
come so troublesome in this locality 1t
is a difficult matter to grow a profit
able crop from seed planted in the open
ground, says the Orange-Judd Farmer.
My method is to grow the crop early
enough to get 1t all marketed before
this disease makes its appearance. and
by so doing avoid loss and disappoint-
ment, and obtain a good price for the
entire crop. The blight never makes
its appearance here until the last of
August or early in September. 1 can
get the crop about all off by that time,
when those grown from the seed in the
open are just promising the best pick
ings. 1t takes a little extra work to
handle them as ! do, but | have always
felt amply repaid for this extra labor.

BUYING UP FLORIDA LANDS.

Miami Metropolis: Gen. Albert w.
Gilchrist of De Soto county has been
in Miami several days closing up
deal which includes the sale of 416, 900
acres timber and farming lands in the
northern part of this county The
purchasers are New Orleans capital
lists, represented by the firm of Wis
ner & Dresser, and although they do
not give out the intentions it is bare
ly possible that there is in view the
establishment of great lumber mills
and extensive sugar plantations. This
same company has secured $50, 900
acres in Lee county and immense
tracts in De Soto, Manatee and Bre-
ward. In the five counties, their total
holdings will be 100000 acres. The
lands embraced in this gigantic deal
in Dade county are 276,000 of what are
known as the Florida Commercial
Company's lands and 100000 acres Of
the United Land Companys, formerly
the Disston lands. On the first named
tract the purchasers have paid to this
county and to the state of Florida
back taxes and redemption fees $11, 900
in round numbers and the lands will
now be restored to the tax books and
assessed as the property of the new
owners, which will mean a largely in
creased revenue to the county. These
lands had been sold for taxes several
times, and had been finally taken off
the books. The commissioners and
State Controller decided to allow the
company who formerly owned them
to redeem them by the payment of the
lump sum, which was based on a val
uation of about 25 cents per acre.
About two-thirds of the $1,000 goes
to the county treasurer and will just
at this time be of special value.

gives good grazing from early summer
until late fall. AS a grazing crop it
is especially valuable for producing
milk, growing young stock Especially
pigs. and fattening all kinds of do
nestle fowls.
Twelfth. The COW pea is one of the
most effective fertilizing plants. 1t
draws its nitrogen from the air and so
free of cost obtains and stores this
otherwise most expensive element of
fertility.
Thirteenth. A heavy growth of vines
usually pay better grazed or made into
hay; a light crop, on stiff soil, is more
profitable plowed under green: and a
light crop, on very sandy soil, or on
soil liable to wash during winter, is
best left to decay on the surface of the
ground.
Fourteenth Hay made from cow
peas is very rich in protein, and If
mixed with that of any of the true
grasses the feeding value of the mix
ture is far greater than either fed
alone.
Fifteenth. Cow pea hay is an excel
lent substitute for wheat bran, is com
paratively cheaper, and therefore, of
special value to dairymen.
Sixteenth. When grown together
IHeie 10 NeiH hhtlc llOuplc III Aahu4Ahs
COW peas for the silo, and the combined
silage of much better quality than that
made from corn alone.
Seventeenth. The cow pea can be
used to great advantage as a green
manure crop at any time during the
summer and in almost every crop ro-
tat!on.
Eighteenth. The COW pea can be
grown successfully over a wider extent
of territory and on a greater variety
of soils than any other legume, and
there are few farms on which it can
not find a profitable place.

Wide Tires Are Best.

There seems to be no satisfactory
people ignore the facts as to wide tires
when they are so simple and self-evi-
dent.
The most palpabe explanations are
far from flattering to human nature,
and general intelligence. 1t seems in
the absence of legislation, every owner
of vehicle tries to have its tires just
one size, narrower than any other, so
it Will not shave on the sides of the
ruts.
Another explanation is simply dense
ignorance, or indisposition to think
even in the selfish manner above in
dicated. Elaborate scientific expert
ments have proven that wide tires car
ry loads with less expenditure of force
than narrow ones where all are COM
PEELED to use tires proportionate to the
loads to be hauled.
1t would cost more to shell or clay
two miles of roadway than to replace
the narrow tires now in use on every
vehicle in this country, with those of
sufficient width to save our roads from
being cut up in the slightest degree.
Such tires would last twice as long as
shelled or clayed roads would last
without expensive repairs. Hence we
could easily have the benefit of wide
tires if a law was passed compelling
their use, and they are good all over
the county. All the shell or clay roads
anyone now living will see in Manatee
county, will not constitute one hum
dredth part of the mileage of this coun-
ty. With broad tires and graded roads
we would be in better condition as to
highways, than the average condition
in the rest of our country, even with
their immense expenditures for gravel
and turnpike roads. With wide tires
our sand roads will not get ofIt up. In
clay formations they are not near so
favorable, since in wet weather the
roads become nearly or quite impassa-
BILE unless macadamized or graveled.
Stated in the fewest words, we
could do { way with nearly all this
worry and curse of soft sandy roads
Simply by a majority voting for wide
tires, and the expenditure of about
five to eight dollars per vehicle to re-
place narrow tires with broad ones
We might facilitate matters by hav-
ing local option on the subject within
convenient practicable limits.
This is not written in the hope that
common sense will prevail as to roads
in this generation. We will go on
talking of the impossible until we die.
neglecting the possible, which might
be attained inside of two years, by
sending men to the Legislature pledged
to vote for the law compelling the use
of wide tires.

tered at the Duval. He came to visit
the city fors a few days, and in less
than twenty-four hours he claims to
have been made the victim of thieves,
who took his valuables and left him
financially embarrassed for the time
being. Mr.. Hall was much distressed
over his misfortune, and called at the
police station yesterday to get some as
sistance in trying TO ferret out the thief
He said that while in his room asleep
some one entered and boldly took his
trousers, in the pockets of which there
was $155 in money and a .3S-caliber
Smith & Wesson revolver Mr.. Hall
said that he was very cautious about
mis- valuables and before retiring he
took his trousers and folded them UP
and then placed them beneath his pill
low, where the energetic thief found
them.

Experience of "a Woman Who Lived
Near MOrne Rouge.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Port de France. Island of Martinique.
w. l., May 81, via the United States
Steamship Dixie to New York, Fri
day.-Except for those who are dead
and the story of whose sufferings lies
buried with them, no one in Martinique
had a more trying experience than did
Mile. Marie LaVenaire. With her faith
er and mother. NJ. and Nine. st. Omer
Lavenaire, she was at their country
place, at Beauvallon, three and one
half miles to the northeast of Morne
Rouge and only a mile and one-half
from Pelee's crater, when the first
eruption occurred.
Mile Lavenaire is an invalid and is
still suffering so greatly from the nerv-
Gus shock she then received that most
serious results are feared. For ten
days after the eruption she was forced
to remain at Beauvallon, until her
brother, Emmanuel Lavenaire, profess
or of modern languages at Fort de
France, was able to get to her with a
litter and a band of negroes to trans
port her across the mountains.
Just before she left with her parents
for Trinidad she told me what she saw
that fateful morning.
1T was just after breakfast, and
] was out on the lawn alone she said,
when 1 saw a column of black smoke
issue from the crater. X must have
been about ten minutes of eight o'clock.
Without rising at all, so far as l could
see. this cloud settled down on St.
Pierre. seeming to roll down the side
of the mountain.
Almost at once-certainly not more
than a couple of minutes after the
cloud appeared-there was a fash Of
flame. I felt a blast of hot air strike
me and ! nearly fell to the ground.
When / looked again the smoke had dis
