this Semi-trOpical climate have a deli
cacy of flavor and a criSpneSS un-
known to those grown in any other
section of the country. In no other
portion of the United States have the
tillers of the soil been able to realize
from 5000 to 81 200 an acre. The pine
trees are giving place to thrifty or
ange. grapefruit, lemon, lime and other
tropical fruit trees. One who spoke
with authority recently said: There is
Il fortune in just alligator pear raising.
You see that score or more of trees
full of undevelOped fruit? Not one
of those trees will bring it's owner a
cent less than one hundred dollars for
this years yield alone" Over one
hundred thousand citrus trees were
planted in one year, south of Ft.
i.auderdale.
Pineapple Lands.-The spruce pine
lands, regarded at one time as value
less, as far as agriculture and horti-
culture are concerned, have proven
their adaptability for growing pineap-
pies of the finest quality, and hundreds
of acres are now yielding their owners
substantial annual incomes. Each year
larger acreages are being utilized, and
more permanent improvements being
made To give Il few specific examples,
which are always more convincing than
general statements. one man in Orange
Glade netted $1,000 for six acres of
tomatoes Another in Alapattah clear
ed $500 on one acre of cucumbers. A
well-knOwn Florida farmer received
$2,176 for Alb crates of egg-plants and
peppers. a man in Delray sold ninety
five CRATES of pinea miles (taken from
One-fifth of an acre of land), for
$11S.56. \ fruit grower in AncOna
netted S6,2JO from twelve acres of
pineapples. Florida East Coast has
a brilliant future-TimeS-U Union.

The Florida State Horticultural
Society.
Society.

When you receive this number of
the Agriculturist it will be only Il
little more than two weeks to the
time of the meeting of this Society.
We hope that you have all your ar
rangements made to attend. Come
early and come prepared to stay
through to the very end. If that is
impossible, We shall be glad to have
your presence even for one or two
sessions. The meetings are pleasant
and profitable, but we hope that you
will come prepared to do your part to
make the meeting interesting and
valuable to others.
We recognize the fact that some of
you cannot be present, when that is
the case, do the next best thing, send
your membership fee, $1.OO to the sec
retary, Mr.. E. o. Painter, Jackson
vile, this will insure your receiving
a copy of the annual report when
published. These reports are valuable,
well worth the price, and the society
needs the funds to keep up expenses

substitute can be found in alfalfa or
alsike.
You cannot make Florida swine
producing state by keeping razor
backs nor can the improved breeds be
turned out on the range to make their
living from wire grass, palmetto roots
and IightwOOd knots. The statistics
of this industry are surprising. the
magnitude of the business can hardly
be appreciated even with the figures
before you. The ten states which
them in the order of the number of
hogs reported. is as follows: Iowa,
Illinois, Missouri. Texas, Ohio, Ne
braska, Indiana, Kansas. Georgia and
Wisconsin. each of these averaged, for
nine years, an annual production of
over 2OOO.OO0 hogs except the last
two. Georgia averaged 1,692,233 and
Wisconsin ,375,S99.
The total number of hogs in the
United States as reported by the De
partment of Agriculture, for the year
1908. was -. 1O2,S ,S47 These reports do
not include little pigs but only breed
ing or marketable hogs.
The cold winters of the Northern
states cause Il great waste of food to
keep the animals alive. Most of this
might be saved by growing the hogs
i'm Il mild climate, like Florida, where
they can be out every day Of the year,
While it is probable that our state
will always lead in the production of
early fruits and vegetables, yet it is
also true that when we get popula-
ton that is equal to the cultivation of
our millions of acres, some of them
will be obliged to go into some other
branch Of agriculture. Then we ex
pect to see stock raising take its proper
place among the leading industries of
the state.
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-04-11
Swine Production in the United
States.

The last number, of the Twentieth
Century Farmer, contains a long editO-
rial on this subject
The claim is made that the limits
of the hog producing districts are
practically defined by the great corn
belt region. Also that no successful
substitute for corn has been found.
Probably both of these propositions
are correct at the present time. But
we do not believe that they need to be
for all the future. In fact, we feel
sure that i'm the near future Florida
will become great hog-prodhcing
state, and that, without greatly in
creasing our corn yield. We can grow
state, but we believe that other crops
will make more and better pork than
corn. We believe that cassava and
sweet potatoes will make better pork
and quite as economically as corn.
The only drawback to the production
of hogs cheaply in this state is the
lack of good pasture. In the North
young pigs are kept on a clover pasture
for several months and make their
growth on clover. So far all attempts
to grow clover, in Florida, have been
a failure. Still We feel sure a good

Pasteurized Milk Plant

The Florida Fruit and Truck Grower
says:
Jacksonville is to have scientific
milk and food plant. Steps are now
being taken for the organization of
such an enterprise on an extensive
scale. and the plant, it is said, will be
located at Grand Park, which is most
admirably adopted for all manufactur-
ing interests There is only one plant
Of the kind mentioned in the South
today, and that is at Atlanta. The
process is interesting. The milk and
cream, after it leaves the creamery,
is emptied into a large agitating vat,
where it is thoroughly mixed. The
milk is then passed into a machine
and warmed to its normal temperature,
which is necessary in order to remove
all foreign substances.
After this process is gone through
with. the milk passes into a clarifying
machine. This wonderful machine
runs at the rate of several thousand
revolutions per minute. All impurities
are removed by this means that the
milk may have absorbed either in the
barn or in the handling.
The milk then passes into pasteur-
izer. where it is heated to a tempera-
ture of 1JS degrees Fahrenheit, where
by all harmful bacteria are destroyed.
1t is then passed into a bOttling ma
chine. There it is at once sealed and
placed i'm cold storage and kept ready
for distribution during the day.
The manner in which the milk bot
ties are washed and sterilized is novel.
The bottles are first filled with hot
water and alkali, which cuts and dis
solves the grease, conveyed to a sec
ton of the machine where all particles
of filth are removed. Then the bottles
are thoroughly rinsed i'm pure, clear
water and then passed to another sec
ton. where they are well steriliZed
The bottles are washed inside and out
by this wonderful automatic machine,
operated by force pump of great
power.
The butter made at the plant is
firm, pure, pasteuriZed cream. The
buttermilk is bottled and handled the
same as sweet milk. The latest i'm
proved machinery will be installed in
every department. 1t is proposed that
the delivery wagons of the company
are to be in charge of men i'm white
uniforms.

The Truth About Rubber Culture

The Citrograph Of March II, devOtes
almost two pages to an article ON
this subject. You have no doubt seen
numerous advertisements, in the pa
pers, offering shares in rubber planta
tiOns, and telling of the wonderful
profits that were to be realized from
a small investment i'm these rubber
companies. They have, of course,
found buyers for their stock or they
could not afford to keep on paying for
their long and expensive advertise
ments. Yet the scheme has been de-

EDITOR GAZETTE:
We're about through gather

this country for both corn and
cotton is ahead of last year; and
most of the farmers around
here have a very good crop of

smile on Il faces when we get
10 cents for our cotton and 20

published, to double the price
and make it a weekly instead of
sem. monthly?

give my experience with a small
plat of red onions. Last spring
l made two beds, each six feet
wide and 20 feet long, with about
three feet between them SOL
could have plenty of room to
work. put one good two-horsc
load OF manure from the Cow lot
on each bed, plowed several
times very deep and got all the
soil aud manure thoroughly
mixed, took my hoe and lcveled
of the tops OF the beds, leaving
them raised about six inches
above the surface level so as TO
drain them we'll. then made
with the corner Of a hoe trench
es across the bed about one and
one.half inches deep and 10
inches apart. This made 20
rows to each bed. put the
sets about FIVE inches apart and

planted one gallon OF sets TO
each bed the last week in March,
and the onions maturcd the last
OF July. got 10 bushels OF
large fine onions, which sold
