Plurality for Governor Large.

Boonville, N. Y.-John A. Dix, the
governor elect, at his first public ap-
pearance since his victory at the polls
pledged himself Saturday to an. hon
est administration untouched by any
influence but his duty to the whole
people. His first problem, he said,
would be administrative reforms and
retrenchment in expenses.
He said in part:
Our party has taken upon itself a
great responsibility and, if we are
to bear well that responsibility and
perform well the duties Of state ad-
ministration it can be only by the de-
votion, counsel and cooperation Of
all good citizens.
"One of the first problems will be
reform in the administration Of af-
fairs Of this state. Alongside and
quite as important, will be retrench-
ment, that we may restore again the
conditions under which public dol
lar shall have as much of purchasing
power as a private dollar.
1T Is not necessary to remind you
that unnecessary taxation shall be
held an unjust taxation; that public
trust shall have the same high sense
of duty as is required of private trust,
that those who have betrayed the
trust reposed in them by their fellow
citizens shall be driven from public
life"

MEDICINAL VIRTUES.

MEDICINAL VIRTUES.
Reliable authorities assert that the
soap-nut is used internally in cases of
salvation, epilepsy and as an expector-
ant. That the seeds, pounded with
water, are said to often put an end to a
paroxysm of epilepsy when a small
quantity is introduced into the patients
mouth. This fruit is also recommended
bv native practitioners for the cure of
chlorosis.
While the foregoing synopsis has been
related as pertaining to the Algerian soap
tree, the seeds of which [ imported in
1905 and 1906 for my first free distribu-
ton, everything in that description ap-
plies to the Florida soap tree.
The discovery of full-grown soap
tree in Florida, owned by Mr.. J. H.
Livingston, of Ocala, Fla, was due to
my publication of the report of the
American consul, as stated before. The
origin of that tree is also from China,
some seeds having been imported about
twenty-five years ago by Rev. Benjamin
Helm, who was missionary in that
country. Although these two species are
the same names, as variety they differ
AS stated several times in my articles I
requested from the United States De-
partment of Agriculture reliable iden-
titication of the Florida soap-nut tree,
and we found that this variety is the
'sapindus mukorossi," and it is the
seeds of this variety that | am now dis
tributing.

That gentleman is Mr.. Julius T. Helm

and who had the entire and exclusive

cultural decorations of the exposition

his abilities.

1t is Mr. Heinrich who suggested the
possibility of introducing that tree into

faction of gathering from trees of her
own such a valuable and incompatible
adjunct to the requisites of the beauty

that it will be possible to successfully
grow the soap tree to a full develop

or to raise the roof in behalf of that
beautiful, majestic tree, when it becomes
necessary.

THE SOAP-NUT TREE
Origin and Method of Propagatng This Valuable Tree
and the Usefulness of It's Fruit
By E. Moulie

At the beginning of the year 1905
report from Hon. Kidder, then United
States consul at Algiers (Algeria), was
published in the American Soap Journal,
a journal of which [ have been the cor
years. That report related the existence
of an industry of great Importance in
that country, that industry being the
growing Of the soap tree and of the COM
mercial and industrial resources derived
from its fruit, the soap-nut.
Mr.. Kidder describes that tree as fol-
lows: The Algerian soap tree originated
from China, and has been propagated by
seeds imported from that country.
The name is given as Sapindus Utillis
that tree is ornamental and reaches a
height of fifty feet. 1t begins to bear
fruit when six years old.
The wood is close grained, takes a
good polish, and is admirably suitable
for furniture.
The average crop of full grown tree
is about 200 pounds of fruit
The average income from tree is
from $40 to $40 per year. The compo-
siton of the fruit consists of a nut
SNAPPED null Ill WHICH, Is q SCCO
In the hull exists the saponaceous mat
ter (saponine) in the proportion OF 80
to 40 per cent of the bulk of the hull.
This saponaceous principle is set tree
by the shredding Of the hull and using
it with water just as if it were piece
of soap A beautiful lather is the re-
suit, and the cleansing qualities are such
that there is no soap made by human
process that can compare to them. For
toilet purposes the same applies. No
human skill can produce, nor approach,
that marvellous product of nature.
That hull can also be made into
powder and that powder into a cake so
as to make the use of it easier. It also
can be made into liquid for hair wash,
dentifrice and various other prepara-
tions and these various articles can be
made by such simple process or pro-
cesses that in every household that COM
modify will become a source of economy,
of recreation and of pleasure.
I contemplate, too, in the near future,
to demonstrate freely these processes,
and thus to render an invaluable service
to the growers of the soap tree.
The seed has kernel which contains
d AACu Ol1 III CVCly lCoPNNt PlN1Sl e1OlO ~
the best imported olive oil, either for
eatable or culinary purposes, and also
for all kinds of industrial products in
which the olive oil is used. The yield
in oil of that kernel is twice the yield
of the olive fruit, and when the produc-
ton reaches an Importance, necessltat-
ing the use of proper machinery, that
oil will be produced as cheaply, if not
cheaper, than the cotton seed oil. For
solid shortening" the delicious flavor
of that oil will surpass anything ever
produced in that line.
AS meal for poultry and other ami
mails feed, the product from the press
after the oil is pressed out, there is
nothing superior to it. The leaves of
the soap-nut tree supply a fodder of
unequaled value,
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-01-01

when they can safely be transplanted
on the spot where they are intended to
grow to their full development.
The pot should be about nine inches
in diameter. I think a we'll rotted leaf
mold mixed with sand would be the
proper soil for these seeds; in fact, it
has been successful. One seed should
be enough in one pot; the soil should be
also after the transplanting of the tree,
until, in the latter case principally, the
little Seeding has had time to develop
roots enough to reach the permanently
moist soil. This takes but few months
as that tree has tap root of unusual
length indicating that it belongs prob
ably to the species Of forest tree"
HOW TO PLANT THE TREE
My experience is that it can be trans
planted at any time, and in nearly any
kind of soil. The preference should be
given to soil neither too high nor too
low. The ordinary care given to any
kind of trees is only required [ would,
however, suggest that no manure or fer
tilizer be mixed with the soil when plant
ino,, but liberal supply of stable manure
on the surface of the ground would help
considerably. 1t may be that other fer
tilizers might prove equally satisfactory.
This is matter of experiment. [ speak
only of what have done myself on that
line, with satisfactory results.
While young and until a reasonable
size has developed, the tree should be
protected against beasts and farm stock,
even chickens, for it is worth while to
take the proper amount of care for the
protection of SO valuable tree.
PROPAGATION FROM CUTTINGS.
1t has been officially reported that the
soap tree can not only be propagated
from cuttings, but that by this means of
propagation, the fruit is larger than the
fruit produced by the Seeding tree There
should be no difficulty in making the ex
perimenting, since Oca1a, Fla, has the
trees that can supply the cuttings now;
few years hence the cuttings will be
available in hundreds Of Places mean
time, [ think that Mr.. J. H. Livingston,
of Ocala, Fla, would be very glad to
help along in that direction, and [ would
suggest that application be sent to him
for cuttings; | dare say only the neces-
sary expense for postage is only what he
would require, as he is the ''soul of gen
erosity"
MARKET FOR THE sOAP-NUT.
| have mentioned in previous commun-
ications that my work of demonstrations
at the Jamestown Exposition would not
be in vain.
There are thousands of people anxious
to see on the market the various toilet
articles that can be made from the soap
nut. Already a substantial beginning
has taken place [ have sold to Mr.

HOW FAR CAN THE POLICE GO
An Opinion Is Handed Down By AttOr-
ney General Simpson.

st. Paul, September l4.-HOw far a
village marshal may so in the per-
Torrance OF his duties and under what
circumstances he is warranted in break
ing into a mans dwelling is set forth
i'll an opinion written by Attorney
General George I. Simpson to X. L.
Anderson of Goodhue. Mr.. Simpson
holds that "a house cannot be forcibly
entered by marshal without war
rant, unless he has been in pursuit of
an offender or sees for himself the vio-
lation of law. Mr.. Simpson says fur
ther:
"A marshal or constable cannot break
and enter a dwelling house for the pur-
pose of arresting a person for a viola
ton of an ordinance or the commission
of misdemcanOr, nor for the purpose
of securing evidence of such Offenses,
where there is no disturbance OF the
peace and no felony is committed. 9th
er buildings than dwelling houses may
be broken into i'll order to make neces-
sary arrests, but the officer so doing
should have reasonable cause to be-
lieve that the offender is within such
building"
