But from a point of view of food there is nothing, or next to nothing, in them. Btrawberries, for instance, or peaches or pears, are of little use ex- oept to quench the thirst. The ome great exception is the banana. The great traveller, Humboldt, once sald that an acre of bananas will give as much food as 44 acres of potatoes. This is decidedly an exaggeration, yet, acre for acre, a crop of bananas does 'give more human food than any other plant or vegetable known to man. The average yield of a plantation of bananas on good, moist land ls 288 bunches, to the acre each year. You can put the weight of a bunch at 62 pounds, which makes the crop 14,796 pounds to the acre. This would be enough to feed a man for about three and one-third years. An acre of potatoes will yield, on an average, 82 bushels, sufficient to feed a person for 18 months, or less than half the time that an acre of bananas would feed him: But, then, the potato crop requires a lot. of work. Each year the ground must be prepared, ploughed and fer- tilized, the seed sown, kept free of weeds, and finally the crop dug and housed. In the case of the bananas all this trouble is saved, for new shoots keep growing up from the old "stools," and there is nothing to do but keep the weeds down with a scythe and cut the fruit when ripe. No wonder, then, that bananas are, Make Cuticura Soap, Ointment and welght for weight, the cheapest food Talcumyour daily toilet preparations. for man, and that life runs easily in| | AEPH se pod de ar, Address; | countries where the banana will grow.
