cayed and went far towards fertiliz-
ing our home vegetable garden. My
two workmen grumbled, for they
had always been used to burning up
everything they cleared from the
land. But I was determined to
waste not, want not" and right
then and there I began as I have
kept on ever since. 1t cost me ninety
dollars to get those two acres in
shape for building and cultivating,
but it was thoroughly done, and the
plot lay out clean and clear of all
growth, save for the few stately live
oaks that were left standing as
shade for the house and barn, and
for several tropical looking cabbage
palmettos that reared their proud
heads here and there along the
bluff. A few choice wild grape vines
too [ left, designing to make for
them a canopy arbor in the near
future. And then I was ready for
the building of the house that should
shelter my loved ones and be to
them in truth that "home, sweet,
sweet home," of which Mollie loved
to sing.

The Sage Palm.

In the course of an article on the
subject of some East Indian economic
plants, and their uses, which appears
in the Journal of the New York Bo-
tanical Garden, the following particu-
lars concerning the sago palm (Met-
roxylon Sagu), and the method
adopted in the Malay States of pro-
ducing starch from it, are given:
Sage, a kind of starch, is a product
Of several species Of palms and palm
like plants, the bulk of which is
probably derived from the trunk of
Metroxylon Sagu, the true sago palm,
native of many of the islands of the
Malay Archipelago and vicinity. This
species Of palm, which prefers damp
places, sometimes attains a height of
40 feet, and has a large compara-
lively smooth trunk, bearing at the
summit crown of pinnate leaves. In
the preparation of sago a full grown
plant is selected, the palm is felled
close to the ground, cut into sections
or feet in length, and soaked in
water for several days, after which
the outer fibrous portion is removed.
Each section is then ground into saw
dust by a coarse crater.
The sawdust is then thrown into
a large receptacle made Of coarse
sacking, and propped up on poles
several feet from the ground Into
this receptacle a native enters, and
tramps up and down, while an abun-
dance Of water is being added. AS a
result of this treatment, the starch
sinks and flows out through a small
bamboo trough into vessel below,
leaving the woody portion floating
behind. After several days the water
is drained off, and the sago meal
dried, when it is put into bags and
shipped away for refinement.

CutyvOrm Death Bait

In India the formula used by the
Government for poisoning cutworms
is four pounds of white arsenic and
eight pounds of sugar in six gallons
of water used to moisten eighty
pounds of fine chopped straw. Small
quantities are dropped at the bases
of plants.

able in their fertility. But-and
here is the rock on which many
hopes founder-they are like gold
mines. You know the richness is
there, but it takes money to dig it
up. The swamp lands must be
carefully ditched and drained before
they will produce, and though man
may know of certainty that ten
dollars planted in such soil will
bring back fifty Or a hundred, he
must first have the ten dollars to
plant. That is why there is still con-
siderable swamp land to be had for
the entering.
The spot I selected for our home
site was a narrow strip of high ham,
mock, with pine land stretching
away to the back of it. My plan
was to clear two acres at once, set
ting the house we'll towards the lake
front, inside a half acre inclosure
which should be devoted to shade
trees, ornamental shrubbery, vines
and small fruits. The barn, COW
sheds, and other farm buildings, and
the. nucleus of grove, were to Oc-
cupy the balance of this first clear
ing.
bors who laughed at me for being
content with making a beginning on
two acres of ground, but [ had no
of them had done, albeit uncOn-
but significant saying, that they had
''bitten off more than they could
chew" I meant to go slow and feel
10 %0 O1|N
mark, if I~made it at all, with in
tensive and diversified farming.
Therefore I believed that two acres
were enough for my initial trials.
A small space well cared for would
Weld more than ten times the space
half cultivated.
Apart from these considerations,
there was the expense of clearing to
be reckoned with. The heavy
growth of trees and underbrush
make it no joke to clear hammock
land, and it is costly job. Being
utterly inexperienced at such work,
deemed it the part of wisdom to
hire it done by men who understood
the business, while I took an object
lesson by looking on and helping
where could. The ground was we'll
covered with big trees and little
trees, with vines, roots and tall saw
palmetto in great clumps. All Of this
had to be cut down or grubbed up.
My men, according to the custom
thereabouts, were about to burn
what they called "the trash" which
term included not only all the small
fry Of underground, limbs, roots and
leaves, but the trunks Of the mighty
oaks and other large trees that had
been cut down. l demurred at this
wanton waste, however, having just
come from a country where wood
was not SO plentiful and was often
badly needed. Instead of allowing
the torch to be applied, I ordered
the lighter debris to be piled in
corner to decay and furnish fertilizer
by and by, and the heavier limbs
and trunks to be rolled together in
a great heap to be cut as wanted for
fuel.

for three years before reaping their
reward in the shape Of good and
constantly increasing income. I
visited several of them, and was told
the story of their rise from useless
trees into small gold mines, and I
confess I envied the snug incomes
they were bringing into the pockets
Of those fortunate first-cOmers. But
at the same time my little wife's wise
talk about all the eggs being in one
basket kept coming into my head.
"You are a lucky man so far"
said I to one of these big grove
owners, who had been telling me of
five thousand dollars turned into the
bank in the previous year and of
eight thousand profit that current
year, "but suppose there should
come a freeze like there was fifty
years ago, and your trees should be
killed to the ground, where would
be your income them"
He laughed, and replied that that
was looking out for bridge to cross
before you came to it, and that it
was something not at all likely ever
to happen again.
''Well," said I, 81 have a family
dependent on me, and I am not 60
ing to trust entirely to an orange
grove for their support. I shall try
other fruits that cold won't hurt,
and cultivate the soil for all there
is in it. More things will grow here
than have been tried yet, and I am
going to find out what they are. If
the orange trees freeze or burn, I
don't want to feel that my all is
gone to destruction"
My friend laughed again, but
few months after this he asked me
if I was a prophet. And he had
cause.
Low hammocks may be called a
cross between the high hammocks
and the swamp lands, and this fact
is recognized in the queer local name
often used to designate them,
''swammocks." They usually need
more or less ditching before they can
be brought under cultivation, but
when once reclaimed are very fertile,
the soil being deep and tenacious,
and producing to perfection such
vegetables and plants as require con-
stant moisture with good drainage.
But there is difference of degrees
in the low hammocks, for not all
can be called "swammocks," being
really first cousins to the high ham,
mocks, with just a suspicion Of
more moisture.
The swamp lands are of alluvial
formation, and are the richest Of all
lands-when they are not water. The
Florida swamps, sometimes embrac-
ing local area of twenty to several
hundred acres, were originally de-
pressed basins which have gradually
been filled in by the washings from
higher lands surrounding them.
Broken branches, dead leaves, rotten
wood, grass and debris of all kinds
have been swept into these basins
for centuries. They are really Dame
Natures compost heaps, and form a
splendid object lesson for us dense
mortals. For years upon years all
the trash heaped together in the
swamp basins has laid there rotting.

LES TOURS

The following verses were written by
an EVENING JOURNAL man after see
ing some OF the Y. NJ. c. A. boys on
one OF their evening practice runs:
Swiftly they go
Like winds that blow
Running hard;
See the staring throng.
Yell as they run along,
Boulevard.
Fat chaps, lean chaps, legs are bare
Their phizz tells OF despair
As tho air upsets their Teddy hair:
Biting North winds blow,
But on they run, caring not
II girls do stare.
Hist They're not thieves that run
Chased by some held-up one
For shame;
From their frames the cold sweat peeps
As with tired limps they keep
Stay your blame.
Say no sluring things of them
OF their shapes, Their legs so slim
AS they run on:
But rather say that this may mean
They're practicing for
The Marathon.
