The Pineapple King.

The extent of the pineapple business
in St. Lucie county is not fully known
Ito OUT. people, much less to strangers.
and the fact that many acres are being
added to. the fields is done so quietly
that the general public is not aware
of the vast extent to which the in
dustry has reached.
During the past summer Daniel I.
McCarty, resident manager of the
Minnesota Cooperative Plantation
Co., whose pineapple plantation is To-
Gated north of town, near Viking, has
planted 100000 pineapple plants for
the company. This is the largest plant
ing of pineapples ever undertaken in
the world by one man, in one field in
one season. If this is not correct, we
would be glad to hear from the man
that can go it one better. This large
planting makes the Minnesota Co.
operative Plantation Co. the second
largest pineapple growers in the world,
their acreage being nearly one hundred
acres. The honor of being the largest
pineapple growers in the world is still
held by c. T. McCarty & Son, whose
holdings are considerably over one
hundred acres
The fields Of c. T. McCarty & Son
are scattered in several sections, but
that of the Minnesota Co. is in one
body, and is all in view from the hills
within the field, making it the largest
single plantation in the world-St.
Lucie Tribune.

pounds of honey per colony was con-
sidered nice surplus; now we expect
100 pounds or more, and if we fall
short Of this, we know we have not
done Our duty by our bees With the
large amount of bee literature now
printed, I see no reason why our farm
ers should not again keep many
colonies and derive much profit from
them, but in order to do this several
things should be kept in mind. A good
movable curb hive should be adopted
one that will give access to any part
with little trouble. Then it is much
better to have good Italian bees. They
are easier to handle and not so likely
to sting as the blacks we used to
have
The desire to swarm can now be
almost wholly prevented by proper
management, so we can care for hun
dreds of colonies in one apiary. This
we could not have done thirty years
ago. Then extracted honey was almost
impossible to sell; now it is sought
for by many dealers, who pay fair
price as soon as the producer can de-
liver it. Taking one season with an
other, bees should yield 81 or S. a
colony clear OF all expenses. With
some this would be nice little income.

Bookkeeping With Farming.

A correspondent, of the American
Agriculturist, thinks that it is a mistake
for farmers not to keep bees. There
does not seem to be any good reason
why they should not be kept in this
state where it is no trouble to winter
them, as we have very little freezing
weather and no snow or severe cold
Among the many changes continual
ly taking place on the old farm, few
are more striking than the disappear
ance Of honey bees. Fifty years ago
La large per cent Of the farmers had
Ia few colonies, some thirty or more,
but now we seldom see any except in
large apiaries, cared for by specialists
in the business. Now, is it best for
our farmers to give up this Branch of
rural industry and tither buy their
honey or go without it? Or, would
1t be better for them to keen a few
colonies? Although [ have been a
specialist for many years, it still seems
to me that farmers should keep not
only bees enough to supply themselves
with honey they may want, but also
to have some to sell. In advising this,
l don't mean to have the bees kept at
the present time.

days? I can finish in that time, I
Think
why, yes. We just finished haying
to help you out. You did me a good
this noon, and I'll send my man over
turn last spring, when my plow broke. .
Thank ye, banks, thank ye' Wall,
Mary, that beats chasing all over the
kentry to find man. l never would
have thought OF going to banks to find
one, but because he was on our line |
just phoned to see if he knew of any
IDLE man.
Hello, central! Give me Doc
Thomas ''Who?'' ''Why. Doc
thomas, the veterinarian, and be quick
about it,
Hello, Doc Say, turned my COWS
into the clover pasture this morning
and one is down, bloated like balloon.
She's very near dead now. Come out
quick"
"You can save her yourself Take
a sharp pen knife and jab hole in her
paunch and let the gas out. At point
midway between the point of her hip
and last rib and about four inches from
her back bone on the left side, cut a
hole through the skin and paunch.
Y Oh can't hurt anything with a short
blade. Put quill in and let 'er whistle.
III bring out some medicine, but don't
wait for me or she will die
The farmer tapped her and ''let 'er
whistle" When DR.. Thomas arrived
the COW was feeling easier and came
out all right. "You would have been
sklnning her now if you hadn't phoned
me, said the doctor.
How are you prepared for the hurry
call? Must you hitch up, drive to
town, and hunt around before you can
find doctor or the man or thing you
want, drive back and find you have
lost out? Are you ridiculing those
who want you to put in telephone?
1t isn't luxury, it is a necessity, es-
recially to the farmer
A good rural telephone system is a
great convenience and saver of time,
money and horse flesh. A poor system
is worse than none. There are phones
made to sell, others to use. Don't be
fooled

Early Ripening Of Fruit.

Early Ripening OF Fruit.
Some desire extra early oranges and
grapefruit, others think lateness in
fruit most profitable In 1901 we first
began to realize an income from our
grapefruit, and began experimenting
and observing results, especially in
productiveness, size and earliness Of
fruit.
Having tried on different parts Of
our grove commercial fertilizers from
six different manufa cturers, [ have
noticed no perceptible difference in any
of them Of the same grade or analysis,
but have noticed a decided difference
from fertilizers from the same house,
according to price, analysis and ma
ter;al used. Hence I give it as my
opinion that commercial fertilizers
manufactured in Florida are from hon
est houses Now to our subject, the
cause OF early ripening Of citrus fruits.
In this I will especially refer to grape
fruit, earliness with me being a deslr-
able quality I will note it's advantages
and disadvantages.
Its chief disadvantage, is being small
Ter fruit, while it's advantages are, hit
ting market not overcrowded, thus
for a full month securing better prices
than medium ripening fruit brings
also coming in at time Of the year
that the average fruit grower is hard
up for money, and what is quite i'm
portant getting off the crop before
any danger Of cold snap and lastly
giving the trees rest so they can
early gather strength for a crop the
next year. The causes for early ripen-
ing are:
l. When the rainy season stops in
August and September, like the present
year, it is almost without rain
2. The lack of sufficient ammonia in
the fertilizer used On the other hand
too much ammonia will either produce
d1eback or split fruit.
3. Slowing up the cultivation OF a
bearing grove before the rainy season
sets in, will cause the premature ripen-
ing Of fruit
4 Allowing heavy crop of uncut
beggarweed to remain after the rainy
season has Stacked off takes TOO mich
moisture from trees and thus often
forces early ripening and smaller fruit
.. Over production, especially in a
young grove, hurrles fruit into ripen-
ing, and unless the tree is very vigor-
Gus much of the fruit will be small.
6. on-ammoniated fertilizers will
make smaller fruit and with an excess

LONDON GHOST SHOW.

The London Ghost Show will be
first-class attraction at the State
Fair ia October next. This enter
tainment has created "A furore Of
excitement in all the European
capitals. Millions have seen it
and gone away with impressions
that will last them as long a. they
live. 1t mystifies everybody and
sets the whole town To talking.
The devil and innumerable OF his
imps appear and disappear, no
one knows how, whittier nor
whence. Mortals and immortals
materialize on the stage and all
over the house, walk on the cell
lug, up aud down perpendicular
walls, and even move through the
air, or stop suspended in space,
without visible means of support,
just as If the law OF gravitation
had been repealed. They appear
and vanish right in the full glare
of arc lights. This performance
must be seen TO be appreciated.
This il so generally understood
that those who visit il. instead Of
attempting to describe it to their
friends, tell them TO go and see for
themselves. The London Ghost
Show plays to crowded houses
when other shows are complaining
of dull business.
