TOBACCO GROWING FLORIDA.

Probably the majority of tobacco
growers in Florida will find it to their
! best interests to plant limited areas,
from one up to five or six acres, and
cultivate these on the intensive sys-
+ TEN. An instructive example is fur
nishd by a grower near Jacksonville,
who has sixteen acres of mixed crops
under cultivation, but devotes only one
or little over to tobacco. The inten-
sive features Of this practice consist in
heavy manuring-he gives eighty loads
of planting to make thin, silky leaves;
the saving of every leaf, free from
worm-holes, and sound, and therefore
! tit for wrappers; and the development
OF sucker crop, which gives him
practically an all summer harvest.
! North Florida tobacco growers seek a
sandy loan with red clay subsoil, but
avoid a surface clay soil as being too
heavy. In south Florida they select,
! II possible, soil producing hardwood
timber, such as hickory, oak, magnolia,
gum, ETC., though excellent crops of
tobacco have been grown on pine land.
/
also considered good. A limestone
subsoil is favorable indication, but
not the massive rotten limestone"
which occurs in some sections of the
state. A good grange soil is generally
a good tobacco soil one with free,
yellow subsoil underlaid with clay.
! Low, heavy flatwoods soil is to be
avoided. Some very fine textured leaf
has been produced on this class of soils
the past few years, but it is found to
have so much weight and body as to
require a year or more in curing salts
factorily, and is believed to be chiefly
adapted for filler. The aim of the
Florida growers should be to produce
the highest possible percentage of fine
wrappers in their crops, since the soils
OF this state are too thin to be able to
compete with the fertile farms of Ken

How 10 Grow Water Lilies.

Why not have a lily pond? People
in the country often have a piece OF
low unused ground that would make

fore doing anything in the way Of COLI
struction the water supply must be as
sured, especially if there is danger OF
a prolonged drought. The basin may
be made of pudded clay but the best
and most practicable method is to con

ANGORA GOATS.

Country Life in America contains a
series of practical articles on the
breeding and raising of Angora goats
which should prove intensely interest
ing to farmers and to all who own
land that Is Overgrown with brush.
There are nine short articles written
by practical people in every quarter of
the union and after reading them one
cannot fail to be enthusiastic over
Angora goats as a source of profit.
People imagine that Angoras are a
great care-this is mistake. The
care is not more laborious than that
which should be given to an equal
number of sheep. The only difficulty
the farmer will have is in providing a
suitable fence; this should be three
feet high at least and come down close
to the ground. The goats do not JUMP
but crawl under a fence. An Angora
goat should clip between three and a
half and four pounds Of mohair which
may vary in price from sixteen cents
to one dollar a pound, the fineness and
luster of the hair determining the
price. When one considers that An
goras browse on things that cattle will
not touch, such as hazel-brush and
many kinds Of weeds it appears that
goats on a farm or cattle ranch would
be good investment, for as the brush
and weeds disappear grass will spring
up and there will be good pasturage
for cattle.

GOOD ROADS.

The Brownlow bill to create in the
department Of agriculture a bureau to
be known as the bureau of public
roads, and to provide fer a system of
national, state and local cooperation
in the permanent improvement of the
Public highways, is a high step out of
the mud. The Romans conquered the
known world and built highways that
have lasted for two thousand years.
The sooner we have permanent high
ways the sooner will the agricultural
communities become more indepeni-

us at the beginning. An absurdly low

to agree, for both Nita and | were firm

PLANTING CORN.

To plant corn without laying off the
ground, take rope three hundred feet
long, or just as long as the field is
wide; every three and half feet tie a
knot in it; at each end of the rope, tie
an iron pin to drive in the ground;
stretch the rope across the field to be
planted; draw it tight and drive in the
iron pins; two men start at each
end and come to the center, and, with
a hand corn planter, put hill of corn
at each knot in the rope. Then the
rope is moved and the men turn and
come back to the end the other way.
