stick to Strawberries.

The editor of the Tampa (Fla.) Times
takes a text from an item in an ex-
change and breaches from it an x
ce1lent sermon. It begins about straw-t
berries, Tut applies equally we'll to any
form of market gardening or truck
farming.
The Plant City Courier tells Of a
man in that vicinity who has already
this season shipped $1,000 worth or
strawberries from two and a half acres
of land, and has yet enough left to
carry the receipts UP to a round thou
sand dollars an acre.
Instances like these come every now
and then to remind us that men in.
this section ought to stick to a thing
even when it occasionally goes into
eclipse. Strawberries are splendidly
paying crops three seasons out of four,
and yet there are men so blind that
when they have met a loss in their,
cultivation, or failed of the great re-
ward they expected, quit their cultiva-
ton in disgust. This has been a very
favorable season, and if a man has lost
three previous ~crops-which, by b
vay he has never done, he would have
made handsome money in the long run.
Lack Of Systematically sticking to
| an intelligent policy in farming is the
bane of operations in South Florida
Following a remarkably good season
like this, many men will go into ber-
ries. Next season may be only an
average. and a large portion of the men
i'll the business. will be possibly dlsap-
pointed in their returns. They will
quit in disgust. whether the reason be
the season or their wv fault, and will
proclaim berry raising to be a fraud7
1t is tolerably certain that in any busl-i
ness life a man must follow it steadily
and study it all the time, and be per-
petually increasing his knowledge and
improving his methods. But somehow
| there seems to be an impression abroad
| that anybody can raise Strawberries
| that it requires neither knowledge nor
experience-nothing but plants placed
in the ground. No wonder -Aany peo-
pie fail. :
The experienced berry grower will
tell you that there is no business,
which requires more knowledge, work.!
attention and skill than his pursuit.
| The man who applies these things Will
win big money, and the man who tries!
| any other method. or fails in the appli-
cation of all these, will make 4 m'sa1"
able failure.

Tea Leaves Used Again.

There are some men," said a
health officer, who buy from hotels
all their used tea leaves. These they
dry and put ON the market again as
fresh tea.
AS a matter Of fact there is still
q good deal of strong tea-plus a good
deal Of tannin-in these used leaves.
They make as black and bitter 4
brew as the greatest tea fiend would
want to drink. But such a brew Is
unwholesome, for the percentage of
tannin in it is much larger than il
an ordinary cup Of tea.
used tea leaves r easily made
to resemble fresh one They are
dried on hot iron plates, the heat Of
which curls them up nicely, giving
them a natural appearance.
