nuts. One port alone. Baracoa, ship
ped 1880 900 nuts last year. Their
favorite nut is the San Bias, from
South America. II is planted about
twenty-eight feet apart, about nifty
five trees To the acre. When the
trees are large enough so that the
cattle can not reach the branches
and injure the leaves the land may
be used for grazing purposes, but II
can be more profitably used In the
growing of cacao. Cacao trees can
be planted fourteen feet apart. or about
$50 trees To the acre. with the cocoa
nuts. Citrus trees also do well in
the grove When cacao is planted
bananas also should be planted near
the young Cacao trees to give them
shade--so that in plantation times
they may be growing cocoanuts, ban.
anas and cacao at one time. The
banana tree is only allowed TO stand
until the cacao tree begins 10 bear, or
about the third year. The cocoanut
tree begins To bear in about Ave years
on the scashore and In seven or eight
years inland. Age does not count
against the tree; some OF the best
trees are over fifty years old Each
tree drops about sixty nuts a year. The
nuts are gathered twice month,
hulled, and brought in 10 the exporter.
The hulling is done with an instrument
like garden hose. One man can
gather and husk 1000 nuts day

A Beet Harvesting Machine.

BILLINGS. Nov. pa machine
which, it is believed, will revolution.
lie matters in beet harvesting. has
been invented by John r. Tilden, a
farmer who resides a few miles east of
Billings. Not only will the machine
pull the beets, but the tops are cropped
OF neatly before the roots are taken
from the ground. The ground is first
loosened up by means Of a pillow and
disc attachment and a revolving wheel
in which are attached several hundred
spikes, 0 the beet from the
ground. The machine has been tried
out and has proved successful. Here
tofOre the work of beet harvesting has
been carried on by hand, after the
ground has been loosened by means
of huge beet plows.
