A Neglected Opportunity.

One of the most profitable
things to grow is the scuppernong
grape. 1t is the easiest of all
grapes to cultivate and lives the
longest. 1t will thrive anywhere
in Florida, and it is surprising
that every man owning home of
his own does not raise an abund-
ance of scuppernongs. As it is,
not enough are produced to sup
ply one-tenth of the demand.
Just look around, and you will
see grapes growing wild every
where in Florida and particularly
right here in Punta Gorda. This is
ocular proof that the scuppernong
will flourish in all localities.
Bearing upon the profits in
growing scuppernongs, the follow
ing from the ST. Augustine Me
teor will prove interesting and
instructive:--The average annual
yield Of the scuppernong grape
vines in st. Johns county is not
far from half-million pounds Of
fruit. The grapes are now ripe
and aside from the few that are
brought into market, they will soon
be converted into wine. About
ten bushels of grape and one hun
bred pounds Of sugar are required
to make n barrel of wine. AS
home made sugar (tho raw pro
duct is best for wine making, the
average farmer with scupper-
nong vine or two, is out of pocket
only the cost of a barrel rs cts.)
for fifty gallons of wine, and this
readily sells here at home for
S1.O0 per gallon. Not less than
10000 gallons of wine from the
scuppernong is made in st.
Johns annually.
AS the cultivation Of the soup.
pernong entails no expense other
than the construction of an arbor
for the vines to run upon, the in.
come from this fruit may be said
to be nearly all profit. Then,
when we consider it's longevity
and productivcness, from 40 to 80
bushels of grapes has been picked
from a single vine in this county,
there is no reason why every
householder should not have
grapes in abundance.

NAVIGATING THE AIR.

The Importance of the experiments in
navigating the air, made by Wilbur and
Orvile Wright is not decreased by the
wrecking of Orville Wright's machine
Indeed, the accident was not unexpected
except to those who mistook the first
actual success for the final solution of
the problem. The experiments already
made are but 50 many promises OF what
may be DONE
1t should be remembered that before
the recent trials of real fivinc machines.
the dirigible balloon was considered a
possible if not the most probable means
by which practicable navigation of the
AR would be brought about. But now,
compared with the rather unsatisfactory
results obtained by the use of lighter
than-air. machines. the work of the two
chief aviators takes place so far in
advance Of them that the heavier than
air machine seems to have now a per
manent lead.
Great things probably will in time
come from the beginnin" made by these
two men. That the north pole will be
reached by way of air. there is little
reason to doubt. There is SO much to
he done in the way of planning for in
creased carrying capacity. and allowing
for weather changes and breakage of
machinery that We are hardly warranted
in expecting the event to take place
within the next decade. But if some
fearless sailor OF the air We're to accom-
plish this feat and completes the circum-
navigation of the globe aerially in thirty
days. it would then be time enough for
the rest of us to begin getting up
courage for travelling through the air.

EAT FAT NEAT,
IT'S HEALTHFUL

II '"s meat: :t; ;'s some reason. for eating ia.
There should be a law passed To
compel people to eat fat meat as well
as lean, aS measure to prevent the
spread of tuberculosis" says local ply
sician IF people would eat it the raw,
ages of tuberculosis would decline. PeO-
| pie ought TO eat it, for it means health
to them. l always protest against cut
ting off fat meat and discarding it, even
at the request of a customer 1t is a
wrong idea.
The fat should not be separated from
the lean under any conditions. 1t pre-
serves the meat, it holds the juices, and
helps it to retain its flavor and good
taste'
Societies for the prevention of the
spread of tuberculosis are endeavoring to
educate the people on sanitary questions,
good, so far as it goes, but if they would
educate the people to eat fat meat they
would do more effective work. They
should teach this in connection with the
other measures that they are advancing
TO prevent the spread of tuberculosis.
Fat meat, and little good whisky, are
th" excellent preventatives of the dis
ease"
Husky sounds of the voice usually
indicate catarrhal conditions of the vocal

tuberculi. OF course, you cannot pass a
law to compel people to eat fat meat, or
else. but you may teach them
the injury they are doing to their bodies
by refusing to eat it,
