Newspaper Page TextThe LaConts Pear as a Money Crop. The first shipment of pears from G. L. Taber's Glen Mary orchard this season, (1896) on June 29th. and netted $4.25 barrel. The last shipment sold August 3rd and netted $1.66 per rel. The entire crop from this chard was sold in N. Y. City and ted right through on everything ship¬ ped an average of $2.34 per barrel. In 1893 the product of this orchard netted about *2.50 per barrel. In 1894, $2.20 per barrel. 1895 was an year.” in market for pears of all kinds; the fruit from this orchard netted less than in previous years, but we had the satisfaction of know¬ ing that LeContes sold well, as com¬ pared with other varieties of. pears, and that our fruit brought top prices for LeContes. It will be remembered that under date of Sept. 9th,’ 1895, Mr. G. L. Ta¬ ber wrote an article (which appeared in the Florida Farmer and Fruit Grower for Sept. 21st 1895) on the LeConte as a money crop, in which he gave a resume of the prices ob¬ tained for LeContes as compared with other pears, taken from the of¬ ficial Price Current of the New Y r ork Market and extending over three years. The following quotations are taken from this article; “I find LeContes first quoted in 1893, on June 19th at $0.00 per barrel and for forty seven consecutive days the maximum prices quoted on Le Contes ran as follows: two day at $0.00, five days at $5.00, fifteen at $ :.00 to $4.50, twelve days at $4.00, six days at $3.50, anil seven days at $3.00. I find that for the same year the first quotation for any other spec¬ ified variety was on July 28th, and its maximum quotation on that day was $3.50 and that for forty-seven consec¬ utive days the highest prices named for any other variety than LeContes ran as follows: ten days at *1.50, nine days at $4.00, two days at $3.75, six days at $3.50, two days at $8.25, twelve days at $3.00, one day at $2.75 and five days at $2.50. By figuring this up I find the average maximum price for LeContes for forty-seven days from the time they were first quoted to be $1.14 and the average maximum price on any other variety for forty-seven days from the time they were first quoted to lit- $8.55, a difference of 59 cents per barrel in favor of LeConte in the average max¬ imum quotations for forty-seven con¬ secutive days after (he different kinds came into market in sufficient quantities to be quoted by the bar¬ rel. These figures also show that for twenty-two days of the forty-seven LeContes sold as high, or higher than the highest received for any other variety when at their highest, and that the highest, quotations on any other variety by $1.50 per barrel. "In 1’9‘M there was a larger differ cr.ee i,i favor of I.eConte than in the preceding year, In 1894. LeContes started at $(.50 to $0.50, and on July 9fell were quoted at $5.00 to $7.00. On July 18th, LeContes were $ .00 ft $5.00, with three other varieties quot ed, the highest of which was $3.00 to $3.50. On the 33st of .Inly the maxi ilium price for LeContes was $5.00, and the next highest variety (Bart let) on the same day was $1.50 max imam. On August 2d, LeContes $3.50. maximum; Bartletts the name. On August 7th, LeContes $350. Clapps favorite the same. “.lust here I wish to call attention to the unfair manner in which I have allowed LeConte to be handicapped in making these comparisons. VVher ever any other variety has been quot en in the lead I have taken the max¬ imum figures for that particular \uri ety on that day. These varieties in elude Bartlett, Clapp’s Favorite, Seek el, Louise Bonne, Beurre Bose, How¬ ell. Flemish Beauty, Bell, Catherine. Jargonelle, etc., while varieties listed as ‘common kinds, near by,’ are too far behind to be in the race. “I find that LeContes started this season (1895) at a maximum price of $5.00 on June 28th, and that for thir¬ ty-five consecutive days the maxi¬ mum prices were quoted as follows: Four days at $5.00, one day at $4.00, six days at $3.50, four days at $3.2a, two days at $.3.00, three days at $2.50, five days at $2.25, three days at $2.00, one day at $1.75, and six days at $1.50. . . . The first quotation by the barrel on any named veriety oth¬ er than LeConte, was on July 23d, and the maximum price was $2.00, and for thirty-five consecutive days up to September 4th the maximum prices on other than LeContes were as follows: (Four days at $3.00, four days at $2.75, ten days at $2.50, seven days at $2.25, and ten days at $2.00, which figures up an average maxi¬ mum price of $2.39, and leaves Le¬ Conte 51 cents per barrel in the lead. We have only thirty-five days of quo¬ tations on other varieties up to Sep tember 4th, but if we include the last week of low quotations on LeContes from August 10th to 17th, and make the average comparison the same as above, we still find LeConte in the lead on average maximum prices The' enti iC WtlUffll -tg jlate" (Septem her 9th). In considering- these fig nres. it should be borne in mind 1S95 was a year o low prices for pears of all kinds, in fact was an year for fruit of al] kinds, so far prices were concerned.” The period of uncertainty as to market value of the LeConte passed. It has an assured place as market staple, and, when shipped the proper time and put up in right way, can be depended upon net a fair profit. The generally cepted lesson of tbe “big freeze" is t. diversify our production. In about for other fruits than oranges, for fruits that will pay, and for fruits that involve no frost risk, the Le¬ Conte is worth considering, through¬ out the wide area in this state where the LeConte is a heavy, sure and reg¬ ular bearer.—A. H. MannviUe, Secre¬ tary Glen St. Mary Nursery Co., in Farmer and Fruit Grower. Still-Feeding Cattle. In many of the interior counties lenty of fairly good three-year-old r four-year-old smooth wire grass steers can h. bought at a lump sum of $s a head, or about two cents a pound, live weight. By buying such steers now. and not only holding them in their present condition, but have them put on a healthful gain of about 300 pounds in four or five months, you have a steer that will produce a grade of beef fully equal to the cattle that a butcher will be compelled to pay 4% cents a pound for. live weight, in Chicago next Feb¬ ruary, in addition to the freight on the four quarters from Chicago to Florida. The purchasers may be obliged to pay on a basis of five cents a pou nil plus freight, but we still say 4*4 cents. The Florida butcher must have good, fat beef for the tour¬ ist boarding-houses and hotels. Now, assuming that a man buys a bunch of fifty 600-pound steers at two cents a pound, and sells them at 4% cents a pound next February', and by the generous feeding theyhave gained 100 pounds each, the account will be somewhat on this wise: 50 steers, 700 pounds each, 4% cents per pound ............. $1,575 0 steers. (00 pounds, cost 2 cents per pound ............ 600 $975 Now, assuming that the purchaser •an coax each of these fifty steers to ea t 500 pounds of cotton-seed meal ring the next four or five months, the feeder will have fed twelve tons of cotton-seed meal. At $20 per ton, this will reduce his cash profits down to $7.;5. The meal would not in most uses probably cost $20 a ton, but »ine allowance should be made for the hulls, which ought to be fed in •onnection with the meal in about the same relative proportions as they • re placed by nature in the As the steers are almost grown, however, the increase of leau meat or -one will be small. In the assumed crease of one hundred pounds, the ocrease will be nearly all fat, which ■is no nitrogen and not much potash >r phosphoric acid, so that if the coder is careful, and has his cattle to prevent waste of the in.in¬ ure by rain, he will find his twelve of cotton-seed meal in the man i e-heap, except the oil. On stock erdiup in neutral. Prof. A. A. Per¬ ms. chemist of the Florida Affri ittrrai Experiment Station, Bulletin page 20. makes the following "The droppings from a animal possess little ue as a fertilizer; it is hardly profit to use; but when the animal has been well fed on a rieli diet like eot on-seed meal or wheat bran, the plant, food locked up in the animal anure lias been shown to he more ■ aluable, from a money standpoint, limn was the food itself when pur ‘based in the market.” This statement is perhaps a little too strong, but is correct. i erhaps in no state in the south is .'.inter feeding more profitable than in Florida. In all of the states nob me can be named in which fertilizers ».re more needed, or in which a little ertilizer will go so far, or in which ,» rtilizers are dearer, or in which the JiiTerencc in tlit* price of beef cattle lie tween September and February is o great. Citizen. Beer from FainicUu ii 'r ee. A Leesburg correspondent of the Times-I'nion writes: Mrs. A. J. Fhares, of YaJaha, with her usual enterprise and progressive ness, has embarked in the manufae lure of Rio coffee ami lager beer from palmetto berries. This may sound absurd, but it is very nearly true. Home of the coffee here has been tried and it “knocks the spots off” the alleged imported Itio that retails from 20 cents to 30 cents. The cor respondent did not try the beer, but it is said to be a superior tonic, ex hilerating, and possessing beneficial medicinal properties. Mrs. Phares justly enthusiastic over the possibili ties of the palmetto berry and thinks that Florida will henceforth find it a sou rce of revenue. During the season just closed, Dr. Wellington, in Jack sonville, bought large quantities of the berries and made from them a de lieious wine, or cordial, for which he finds a ready sale at $1 a quart. It is surprising to hear Mrs. Phares tell of the various valuable uses to which palmetto may be put. ONE FAILURE CAUSES ANOTHER. The J. B.

A little girl in Chicago, who has a very rich and independent father, is owner of the most beautiful and doll-house, probably, that was built. It stands on the lawn of her home, and built of briek. with a tiny tower and cupola, it looks exactly like a small copy of .my fashionable residence. A tlight stone steps leads up to the front door, which is of solid ouk, beauti fully polished, and provided with an bell to announce callers.

Once inside, the delights of the place would rejoice any little girl’s heart, The hallway is finished in hard woods, and is lighted by a small gas lamp hanging from the ceiling; uni l.rella and hat ra*-k stand there, and pretty portieres separate it from parlor. In this handsome room the furniture is all of white enameled wood, covered with white brocaded silk. BIJOU THEATRE MANAGER.

With this plant, we can sb urrange as to have it in blossom every month in the year, us seed sown in October and November will give plants for winter blooming, and seed sown in and March will provide them for summer blooms. It being an an¬ nual we must not forget to keep growing new plants, as when a seed sprouts and springs forth to soon give us countless little blooms, per feet seed, etc., its vitality is spent, We can not revive the old plant, but we are furnished with an abundance of seed from which to grow new ones. The seed may be sown where plant>8 are wanted, but with these as with all tine seed it is better to sow in cold frame, or some place where plants may be protected from frost or heavy rains, until one to two inch es high. They are then ready to transplant to open gr<K ’'j where the\ should be set about eight inches a mrt and given rieli soil mid plenty of water. During the past winter when near !y every (lowering plant was killed or Cheeked by the trust, what a treat it was to gather the delicate sprays of the sweet alysstiiu and inhale their delightful fragrance. A very charming bouquet is pro¬ duced by carelessly placing them in a low vase. The stems should l>e cut to allow the tiny heads to stand about an inch above the water. If the dish can la* covered with coarse meshed wire the arrangement re¬ quires but little care, merely insert¬ ing the sprays here and there as nut urally a possible. If wire is not used a convenient plan is to till the dish with excelsior or what is still better the sprays of some green vine. These provide a gXHsl bed into which the stems of the uiyssum may be placed. AUKRATUM. This is an annual from which much pleasure may he derived in summer and early fall. For suminer Iwirders til io seed should he sown in March, and when the plants are about four inches high cuttings may be taken off and rooted. These cuttings root easily but it will be necessary to sup plv moisture during dry weather, and protect them from the sun. In a few weeks the cutting "ill be ready to supply cuttings. Proceeding in this way, a single package of seed will give many plants by the first of duly. There are pink, blue and white vane ties which blend perfectly and make a pleasing combination. The ageratum requires about the same treatment aw alyssum and proves equally as good for borders or to Ih* massed in beds. The cut flowers iiv-.iv also be effectively used in Ism quefs.
