Wreck Of the Maine,

The wreck of the battleship Maine still
protrudes above the water in the busiest
part of the harbor Of Havana, and is not
only an eyesore but an obstruction to navi-
cation, and a grievous reminder of one of
the most lamentable tragedies in history
1t has remained in that way for nine years
up to February 10. and although two con-
tracts fo- its removal have been made.
neither has been carried out, and II must
remain until the government of the United
States removes it, because the Cubans have
neither the skill nor the enterprise nor the
facilities for doing So The wreck lies in
six fathoms OF water, and has gradualIv
settled into the mud and filth which has
accumulated on the bottom of the bav
from the sewage Of nearly four Centuries
No accident has yet happened, but the
wreck is a continual peril to navigation
The passenger ships from New York New
Orleans, Mexico and Florida anchor i'm.
mediately around 1t.
There are several other sunken wrecks in
the harbor. The United States military
government in 1900 removed the hull Of ths
Spanish warship Atocha, which was burned
to navigation for eighty-four years. n was
believed that large amount of treasure
was concealed Iii the cabin but the ONLY
articles of value found were thirtyfon

have removed the wreck If the NAVY Ne
partment at Washington had not forbidden
them to use dynamite, and they Insist that
it cannot be removed any other Way But
sentiment is against 1t. The bodies of
about one hundred sailors are still in the
hull. and while they cannot be recovered

Dream of a Druggists Wife.

There is curious story connected with
the explosion of the Maine which has had
considerable weight with superstitious
people. and also with hard-headed, practi-
cal. sensible men, like Senator Frye, Adj
miral Bradford and others from the state
of Maine, who know the character and an
tecedents of the wife of a druggist in the
city of Lewiston, who saw the tragedy re-
hearsed in a dream the night that 1t oc-
Cured She is not a professional clairvoy-
ant; she does not pretend to possess super
natural powers, but has foretold local
events in that community in most eX-
traordinary manner, until the people credit
her with the gift of divination and the
power of prophecy.
This lady never saw a battleship: she
never saw fortress; she was never in
Havana, nor had she ever read a descrip-
ton of the harbor surroundings of that
city. She entirely ignorant of the eX-
istence of the battleship Maine; she was
not aware that any vessel of the United
States navy was at Havana, but, upon
awakening one morning. she told her hus-
band what she had seen in dream. He
was so much impressed nat after breakfast
he stopped in the office of one of the most
reputa BILE lawyers of the city, who returned
with him to his house and I.eard the lady
repeat her story. She described the harbor
of Havana, the Cabanas fortress and the
anchorage of the Maine with great detail;
and she said that she saw two men in the
uniform of Spanish officers, which she de-
scribed, although she had never seen it in
her life hold heated controversy in a
small, room in the fortress, where an cleo
trio switchboard, like tnat in the telephone
exchange in Lewiston, was connected with
wires that ran down into the water to
floating torpedoes, which she also mnutely
described. After their controversy the
younger of the two officers protesting ear
nestly against being compelled to obey such
an order, and threatening to throw the en-
tire responsibility upon his superior, went
to the switchboard, pulled brass plug
from one socket and put it in another
Thereupon terrible explosion occurred in
stantly, and the ship in the harbor which
she had described and called the Maine
was blown to fragments and sank to the
bottom
About five hours later came the news of
the destruction of the battleshp by some
mysterious agency in the harbor of Ha
vana, and, naturally, the story of the drug
gist's wife, having been told before she
could have known anything concerning that
event, created a profound sensation

ing from three to six inches in dia-
meter at four feet from the ground.
The tree has only one trunk at the
ground. The spread of branches is
not less than 80 feet This tree has
never been fertilized A little over
mile from here there is another
tree, nearly as old, but which is not
over twelve or fifteen feet high, with
only a small spread of branches. The
difference is easily accounted for. The
smaller tree was set on high ham,
mock land, not far from some very
large Live oak trees. These, of course,
had filled the soil with roots, so that
for years the camphor tree stood still
and made almost no growth. 1t finally
did get a start and has grown slowly,
but will never make large tree on
account Of its crowded situation This
small tree has never been killed back.
This was partly due to it's being so
near the river bank that it was not
exposed to as severe cold as the one
at our place, but more to the fact
that it was more dormant Those
who arrange to plant all the camphor
seeds which they can secure, next fall,
will not make a mistake in so doing.
There are thousands of acres of
flat woods which can be easily drained
enough for camphor trees, which can
be bought at low price, because
the timber has all been turpentined
and has no farther value, except for
light wood. If the trees are set as
closely as possible the yield Of tops
suitable for making the gum would
be enormous in three or four years
from setting them out.

Italians as Farm Laborers.

Our contributor, Mr.. Gilbert, usually
hits the nail very squarely on the
head when he writes And so far as
the Italians who have been used on
the railroads and other public works
are concerned, he is no doubt entirely
correct in all that he says. But those
who are urging the introduction of
Italian labor claim that the class which
has been coming to this country are
not agricultural laborers, but that
there is a class Of Italian farmers
who make good farm hands, and it is
this class that is proposed to bring
over to the southern farms. 1t is
probable that even this class can not
be induced to work singly but will
have to be kept in gangs. However,
if enough of them could be brought
here to supply those who want gangs
it would so relieve the pressure that
the demand for single hands could
be supplied from the 1aborers already
in the state
Mr.. Gilbert's suggestion that farm
ers shall have a house and employ
married men, is good one and is
in line with what has been said before
in our columns There is no question
about it, a married man is much more
steady and reliable as help than
single man.
When a man can get employment
on farm for only eight Or nine
months of the year it is not strange
that he seeks a situation where he
can stay all the year. Farmers will
be compelled to so arrange their work
as to give employment to their hands
all the year.

recommend that vegetable matter be
allowed to ripen before it is plowed
under. But we know that the practice
Of blowing under green crops is still
practiced to some extent in this state
Some years ago we met a gentleman
who owned a good orange grove.
He said that he had made his grove
by blowing under green crops, oats
or rye in spring, and COW peas in
fall.
Several years ago we tried an ex-
pertinent, the result of which was far
from satisfactory, but that was not
because the green crop soured the
land We sowed a sack of cotton
seed meal on a strip of land and drilled
in twelve rows of COW peas. They
grew up very rank, so that by the
time for planting sweet potato vines,
the COW peas we're between two and
three feet tall and very thick on the
ground. We listed two rows together,
making six rows, these were plowed
up and bedded for sweet potatoes and
the vines planted. They grew very
rapidly, covering all the ground so
quickly that they never needed hoe
ing. We have never seen such a
luxuriant growth of vines, but, alas,
the potatoes were conspicuous by
their absence. This was, of course,
not owing to the fermentation of the
green vines which we're plowed under,
but to the excess Of heterogeneous fer

A Valuable Acquisition.

The Agriculturist is exceedingly
fortunate in being able this week to
enroll Mr.. c. Fred Ward as one of
it's contributors on poultry subjects.
Mr.. Ward is not only ready writer,
but is an extensive poultry breeder
Of prominence, and holds the honor
able position Of president of the Flor
ida Poultry Association. He is es-
pecially interested in breeding the
Rhode Island Reds, which he con-
siders the best for general purposes
in Florida. Some of the reasons for
this, together with a practical state
ment of his methods in poultry rails
ing, make up his paper this week,
which we are sure will be read with
interest by all.

Canphor.

You will find an article on this
subject in the Agriculturist, this week,
the writer of which seems rather
doubtful Of the success OF camphor
in this state. The fact is that the
industry has passed the point where
it is a question of being able to grow
the trees. They will grow on almost
any soil in the state, but more rapidly
on moist, rich land. Flat-woods land
that is not under water more than
a few days at time can be. used.
They would not be likely to live in
a pond like a Cypress, but they will
stand it to have the soil saturated for
a week or more at time, as we
know from experience.
At the meeting of the Florida State
Horticultural Society in Jacksonville,
in May, 1906, DR.. Walker, of Hunting
ton, said that even if the camphor
trees were killed by cold, the wood
could still be used for making the
gum. If this. is true, and there is no
reason to doubt that the doctor knew
what he was talking about, then the
trees may be planted anywhere in the
state, with the assurance that they
will be profitable.
We have large tree which was
not killed by the freeze of 18o45, but
was killed to within two or three feet
of the ground in February 1899. Be-
fore that it was about 80 feet high,
with two trunks. Now it is from 80
to 40 feet high, has seven trunks rang

Pure Food.

A strong attempt is being made by
certain manufacturers of food products,
such as canned goods, pickles and
especially catsup, to secure from the
pure food commission ruling which
will permit the use of benzoate Of soda
and other chemical preservatives in
limited quantities. It is claimed by
some of the manufacturers Of these
goods that it is impossible to make
catsup which will keep except by uti-
lizing the preservative qualities of ben
zoate Of soda. One catsup maker,
however, took the opposite view, and
showed samples that had been kept
for long time without any such pre-
sentative. This firm claims that if
good, ripe, sound tomatoes were used
and the work done in factory rooms
which we're perfectly sanitary and
proper care exercised in packing and
stretching, that the catsup would keep
indefinitely. 1t was claimed that most
manufacturers use waste from canned
tomatoes, and poor stuff that they
could buy cheap when the market is
overstocked, and that this is the reason
why they need artificial preservatives
to keep the stuff from spelling. It
might be said that "the stuff is spoil
ed before it is put into bott1es.-Farm
