There lived man who raised his band

And through long, long life he
bravely knocked
At Fame'e closed gate.
A son he left, who, Ike his sire, strove
High place to win;
Worn out, he died and dying, he left no

That he had been.
He also left con, who, without care
Or planning how,
Bore the fair letters of a deathless fame
Upon his brow.

ABOUT P1NEAPPLES.
Their Culture and Growth.

Correspondence to The Commonwealth.
Callahan, Fla, April %, 1905.
Mr.. Editor, Scotland Neck, N. c.,
| Dear Sir:
| Thinking it might be interest
ing to some of the readers of The
COMMONWEALTH to know how the pine
apples grow, I will give short history
as to the growing of them in Florida.
The pineapple fields of Florida are To-
Gated on high ridge of land lying be-.
tween the Indian river and the Ever
glades, 400 miles south OF Jacksonville.
The ridge is from one-quarter to a
mile in width. The Florida East
Coast Railroad runs right through the
| plantations and tourists are often dis
appointed In not seeing the pineapple
trees. The pineapple plant is not
large, growing to beigth of four feet
at maturity. The top, growing out OF
the apple, called a crown, is a full
grown plant. These crowns are often
planted when slips and suckers are
scarce. To plant crown successfully,
twist it out of the apple, cut off all Ct
the fruity part, tear off dozen of the
leaves around the bottom and you will
see the little eyes that when planted
become little roots. The plan: will
grow slow, but in eighteen months
should bear fruit. When the plant
bears it's fruit it gives one apple to
the plant, standing upright on single
stem.
The apple is surrounded with slips,
small plants growing out of this stem
When the apple Is broken off the slips
are left on the stem to grow to from
six to twelve inches in length, when
they are broken off and planted in
rows 2Ox20 inches, about II 900 to the
acre. They are then hoed about once
a month, fertllized, first with a good
pinch of cotton-seed meal and tobacco
dust dropped In the heart OF the plant.
then, three months later, 1000 pounds
OF the same mixture is broadcast and
worked IN the ground. After that a
ton Of h!gh-grade fertilizer is broad
cast twice year over the plants. The
plants bear Indefinitely. The pineap-
pie has few enemies, and those it has
are easily controlled. A pineapple
field after the first year requires very
little care except fertillzing at proper
times, and harvesting the crop. The
plants have sharp edges which necessi-
tates wearing canvas legglns and can
vas mittens. The picker wades right
into the field, picks the apple and tosses
it to catcher in the alley, who places
it gently in hand-cart, which, when
full, is drawn by the catcher into the
packing house where skilful and rapid
packers wrap the apple in paper and
place it in crates. The apples are pick
ed green and ripen in transit to mark
e. The indian river apple is not con-
sidered as good as the Orlando apple,
two hundred miles north and raised
under cover.
An apple picked ripe from the plant
is much sweeter, and so juicy that the
juice runs down to ones elbows, and
when eaten you never think Of using
sugar on it. Pineapples, i! eaten freely,
will atlay all pangs of lndigestlons. I
speak from experience.

EIEcTRIG PLoUGHING.

Italians have done much in applying
electricity to the work of the world,
and now comes the announcement that
the Societa Elettrotecniea Italiana of
Turin has invented and constructed de-
vices for the application of electric
power to ploughs and other farm ma
lchinery. The experiment Of ploughing
fby electric power was recently made
near that city in the presence of repre-
sentative men from different parts of
Italy, and, it is reported, with crafty
| ing success. The device consists of two
power cars, which are stationed at each
side Of the field, and between which are
stretched cables attached to the plough.
The electric current is taken from a
trolley line; a current of about five
hundred volts is said to be needed.
Each car Is said to communicate twen-
lty-five horsepower, which can safely
be increased to forty horsepower. The
plough is pulled by the cables from one
side of the field to the other, and when
Fit reaches the end of the furrow it stops
automatically, the current being cut off.
| It can be run backward or forward with
ease. One man manages the plough,
and each car is operated by one man..
Thus three men do all the work. OF
course much depends on the condition
LOT the soil, but it is said that from seven
to fifteen acres can be ploughed in
twelve hours. These power cars are
said to be as easily managed as traction
engines. and their power can be, applied
to thrashing machines, cornshellers,
pumps, grain drills. etc,
Good work. II the happy, happy
farmer continues to be favored as he
has been lately he will have to invent
something himself to keep his idle
hands out Of Satanic mischief.
