Pineapple farming offers easy work and big profits in Florida
From stage to sunny Florida Miss Jessie Mae Hall bought a 244 acre pineapple grove in southern Florida. The New York Tribune notes pineapple land values rival grain per acre while Hall's farm includes 15 acres of pines and 204 uncultivated acres. Initial costs run about 800 for the first year, later about 50 per acre, with potential returns of 1000 per acre last year. Drought remains the chief risk though the pineapple leaf resists drought.

The Hermitage and Mount Vesuvius Echoes in a Sierra Trek
A travel vignette describes the Hermitage terrace views and the lava fields of a volcano near a steep funicular ride. It shifts to social essays on rural life, urging farm youth to stay, aided by rural amenities and agricultural colleges, contrasting English country life with American city ideals. The piece discusses studies and overload, defending long effort when paired with genuine enjoyment, citing Schurman, Shrady, and Max Muller.
Nutrient value differs by price in early weather essays
The piece notes a 10 cent purchase of wheat flour yields far more energy than cabbage, arguing cheap goods aren’t always nutritious. It compares national weather services, praising Russia and Germany, extolling Australia, and lauding the American service as the best and most expensive of all.
