Mrs. Carroll Cook Testifies Boz
hemlan CIubman Never Told
Wife "Goodby"

and Uncomfortable Temper,
According to Evidence

Mrs. Lille H Westphal was granted
a divorce by Judge GRAHAM yesterday
from Otto f. Westphal dentist. poll
ticlan and member of the Bohemian
club Cruelty Is the ground named in
the decree.
Mrs. Westphal was allowed $65 a

month. There Is a provision that in
case of her remarr1age alimony pay
ments shall cease.
Mrs. Carroll Cook, wife of the attor-
ney.ewas the corroboratin witness and

ION there was not the slightest chance
OF the couple getting along amicably
together.
Mr.. Westphal never treated his wife
as husband should" said Mrs. Cook
lie never said good evening or good
by TO her.. The witness testified that
when she and her husband were guests
OF the Westphals at their Redwood
City country home the dentist threat

effect. She said that the porch was 1S
feet above the ground.
My husband is a man of very vio-
lent temper and he seems unable to
control 1t at any time Mrs. Westphal
INFORMED the court. Nothing that
could do would please him. On one oc-

violently threw me to the floor He
used profane and insulting epithets to
me. For more than three years he has
refused to give me money to buy wear
ing apparel"

THE LlTCHI
A Highly Priced Fruit in Sections
Where 1t Can Be Grown.

d
southern part of this State:
1t is noticed that among the plants
lately introduced into the United States
from foreign countries by the Depart
ment of Agriculture are included speci-
mems Of the Litchi, brought from China.
vinegar and a small brought from China.
The LitChi (Nephelium Litchi) is an i'm
portant fruit tree belonging to the nat
ural order Sapindacee, which grows wild
in Southern China and Malaga, and is
also largely cultivated both in those
countries and in British India. Speci-
mems are to be found in a few of the
West Indian Islands, notably in the
French islands of Guadaloupe and Mar
Unique, and at the Botanic Gardens Of
Jamaica, Trinidad and Dominica 1t
was introduced into the 1ast-named ISL
and from GuadalOupe in 1898. The fruit
of the Litchi consists of a nut, contain
ing one seed, surrounded by a Aeshly
aril
The Litchi tree is a handsome ever
green, which is propagated by layering
or decomposition. 1t fOurishes best in
a moist alluvial soil. In the East this
tree yields large crops of fruits annually,
but the few specimens under ObServa-
ton do not appear so satisfactory in this
respect in the West Indies. A Litchi
at Dominica lowered and fruited in
19O5-6 and again in 19O6-7, however, and
in this connection, Mr. Jones wrote:
"The difficulty with this tree in the West
Indies is to get it to fruit annually. On
one of the small Litchi trees, where a
number of branches were being propa-
gated by decomposition, it was noticed
that nearly every shoot so treated pro-
duced flowers. This seems to afford a
hint that if branches of the trees had a
ring Of bark removed about October or
November the check given might prob
ably cause the trees to flower and fruit
early in the following year"
The Litchi has been long established
at GuadalOupe, and specimens are to be
seen in many parts of the island. Ac-
cording to Duss's "Flore des Antilles
Franchises" the trees flower in January
Or February.
Reports on the growth and productive
ness of the Litchi in the East refer to
it as a most hardy and fruitful tree.
A point insisted upon in connection
with its growth is the need Of a good
water supply, as the trees are apt to
suffer from drOuth.
According to Watts "Dictionary of
the Economic Products of India," this
fruit is grown and consumed in large
quantity in Bengal. 1t is stated that
"when fresh, the great punches Of Litchis
look like bright, pinkish strawberries,
but they rapidly lose their bloom, and
assume a dirty, brownish color" The
fruit is nearly round, and about ~
inches in diameter. The edible portion
is the bitter-sweet, jelly-like pulp or aril'
which covers the seed, and the whole
is inclosed in a thin reddish or brown
ish, brittle shell.
Litchi fruit are dried in China and
Cochin China, from whence they are ex-
ported to the United States and Eng
land. Dried Litchis bear no resemb-,
lance to the fresh fruit, but are by no.
means unpalatable. In appearance and
taste thew are not unlike raisins u

very risky to have seeds just coming up.
After that date the coldest weather is
supposed to be past though there are
occasionally heavy frosts as late as
March goth
If your garden spot is not located
when you read this, locate it, if for
winter garden, on your highest spot.
There is much less danger of frost in
such a location For summer garden,
the lowest spots may be more moist and
the soil better
Suppose your garden ground was
plowed in September; by this time it is
all covered with weeds, grass, etc. Now
don't plOw it again. Just hoe off the
weeds, etc., as to plow it would disturb
whatever you may have ploWed under
in the way of vegetable matter or other
fertilizer.
Lay off your rows, for convenience
of working, wide enough. For small
stuff, such as onions, beets, etc, let the
rows be eighteen inches apart; for Irish
potatoes, cabbage English peas, ETC., lay
off your rows not less than three feet.
If possible use some, if but a double
handful to the yard, of stable Or lot
manure with your garden or commercial
fertilizer. This animal manure produces
some heat and starts the fertilizers to
work
In using commercial fertilizers, I
would not use all at one application.
Use about one-half of what you expect
to use for that crop, when, Or a week
before, planting the seeds, and the re-
mainder when the crop is we'll started;
say for onions, seedlings, when they
are the size Of a wheat Or rye straw.
A good way to mix fertilizers in the
drill, is to drag pole through the rows.
This fines and mixes and cOmpaCtS the
soil at one operation.
All seeds should be drilled with a
seed drill Set the machine so as to
plant twice or three times more seed
than you will want planted. In sowing
by hand, you will likely drop seed too
thickly, so practice little before going
to the regular work. Devise some
means for compacting the ground after
the seeds are sown. I have found a
small, narrow roller, say one foot or
less long, does the work fairly we'll. To
tramp the rows with the feet, go up and
down the rows three times, and leave
the place tramped level and smooth.
For outside market plant this month,
Irish potatoes, cabbage, beets, onions
and English peas.
For home use add turnips, rutabagas,
carrots, mustard lettuce and celery.
I would defer planting the Irish pota
toes, especially, till near the last Of the
month. By so doing you will be less
liable to encounter extreme cold after
they are up.
In regard to onions, I would depend
mostly on sets at this late time Of plant
ing. Onions from seed, Bermudas, will
make green bunch onions for nearby
markets, and for picking, and also for
sets and for seed. The white Or silver
skin onion is much the most popular

JANUARY IN FLORIDA
Work for the Month in the Garden, on the Farm
and in the Orchard
By W. H. Haskell

In Irish potatoes, the OhioS and Bur
banks are the reliable ones. Don't plant
late varieties. They do not do we'll as
compared with early varieties.
Consult the scotsman as to best va
rieties Of cabbage and other plants for
your section, especially when planted
for market
Thin and transplant onions this
month, also cababge If you will try
celery, buy your plants already grown,
the same practice in regard to lettuce
probably would be best.
For these crops choose the richest
spots, somewhat moist also, then make
it as rich as you please, for these crops
need to be grown quickly to be tender.
FOR THE FARM.
1t would be we'll to plan ahead and
see about the seeds needed during the
next six months, and determine what
crops you will grow on the farm.
With poultry, a horse, a cow and
hogs, something like the following crops
should be grown during the season.
Some Of them you and the family will
share with the pets of the farm, such
as sugar cane, peanuts, sweet potatoes
anu IlCIU peas.
Add to these rye, oats, barley, chufas,
rice and rice corn, sorghum, mlllet,
velvet beans, Cassava and field and sweet
corn. The rye, oats and barley with
the grasses, should be planted right
away, for green feed for poultry and
other stock.
Plant field corn in rows, six feet
apart, with cow peas or velvet beans be-
tween the rows.
Watermelons, cantaloupes and cash
avs, should be grown according to your
need Of them.
The last of the month is soon enough
to plant field corn. Don't depend on
some highly recommended variety Get
the common Florida white flint.
Of watermelonS the Augusta and the
Kleckley sweet, will fill the bill.
You should have an acre or more
each of St. Lucie and Para grass for the
COW; St. Augustine grass for lawns in
shady places and St. Lucie in the sun.
Aim to raise your own ham and eggs.
Poultry pays the best of any stock. Give
the same systematic care to poultry as
to other stock.
IN THE ORANGE GROVE.
Ferti1ize the old bearing trees this
month and harrow the fertilizer in. Do
not ploW the bearing orange trees.
They do not need root pruning. Get
off the orange crop as soon as posi-
bic, to free you from anxiety and posi-
bic loss by cold. This month is a suit
able time to plant trees Of all kinds.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-01-01

For best results the hogs should be
kept warm and comfortable. Sleeping
in dirty, wet pens is dangerous and leads
to many ills.
