PEARL CITY PINEAPPLE PLANTATION in BLOOM


| every leaf springs up a plant which
in its turn bears for two years and dies
and lives again in its young. Thus,
when you once get stock, you will have
| stock all the time in constantly in
creasing quantity. We have, as 1 have
said, 100 acres in. These pines are of
various ages, not all bearing. The
plants are set. on an average, 5000 to
the acre, which makes on the planta-
ton all told, at this writing. about 900,
600 plants. We harvested and market
ed $4,000 pines last year. This year 1
estimate that we will double that yield,
and that the crop will amount, approx
mately, to 100000. That is good many
pineapples.
we have had more than one problem
to meet in reaching our present stage
of progress. In the factory, for in
stance, nearly all the machinery has
had, to be changed and adapted to our
purpose. We have changed the old hand
method of handling the fruit so that
from the first cleaning almost to the
cookers it is handled on mechanical
carriers. We use the Haarker sanitary
can, doing away with acid and solder
in the sealing and making a package
that is guaranteed to carry nothing
deleterious to health. Lastly, every man
and woman who touches the fruit in
its preparation for market wears rub
Der gloves, and so there is no possibility

And the product, as Superintendent
Waters shows it, bears out all and more |
than all that he says in its commenda- !
ton. The fruit, delivered in wagons
from the fields at the door of the fac
tory, has both ends slashed off by a
couple of Japs who stand with sharp
knives beside a great fragrant pile of
the golden apples. It goes on a long
table to the man at the peeling ma

trims it by machinery to the size that |

in slices that fit into the sanitary cans

end slices and the parings drops into
baskets to be canned as graded, or made
into luscious pineapple jam, and the
ends and parings are carried along on
an endless belt to a great cider press

GET STRONG.

To get much benefit or hap
piness out of life one must have
the average degree of strength.
Weak persons always miss the
cream and marrow of what the
world has to offer. And yet
what multitudes are weak They
would freely give all they have
for strength and yigour yet know
of no way to make the exchange;
such people are easily tired and
fall into low and melancholy
moods: they are apt also to lose
weight. Weakness is commonly
the result of a diseased condi-
tion,-often without pain or any
acute symptoms. The appetite is
poor, the digestion feeble, the
blood pale and wanting in all
the elements of true vitality.
The trouble is with the nerves
and the food system. The
remedy is a safe and powerful
tonic, cleanser and rebuilder like
