800 gallons of water per day. This would
probably be sufficient for quite large
field, as this amount of water would cover
twenty-four acres of land to depth of
four inches, not calculating of course for
absorption and evaporation. This would
be the work of the pumpfor one day only,
and it could be kept in operation until
the desired quantity of water had been
supplied.
After the rice is planted water should
be pumped into the diked land until it is
barely overfowed The water should be
pumped back into the canal after the
third or fourth day, or as soon as the
seed have commenced to SWELL
When the rice attains height of three
or four inches, water must again be sup
piled until it nearly reaches the top of
the plant; no further work is required un-
til harvest time, when the water is drawn
off SO as to let the ground dry out and
get in condition for the harvesters.
The rice lands in the lower Mississippi
Valley produce about $75 worth of rice
per acre, and we see no reason why the
reclaimed lands of Florida could not do
equally as well.
If any of our readers have tried low
land ee, or have any ideas on the sub
ject, we would like very much to hear
from them, as we are firmly of the opin-
ion that low land rice culture will yet
be an industry in Florida that we will all
be proud of.

thyme and mint, but differs from all of it's
relatives in that it yields edible, tuberous
roots.
These roots are formed of ring-like
ridges, giving them the appearance OF a
one-horned caterpillar, varying in length
from one to three inches, and in diameter
from one-half to three-fourths of an inch.
The skin is thin, smooth and semi trans
parent.
This peculiar vegetable requires no more
special treatment than do potatoes, and
even poorer soil will answer, though, like
every thing else, the more attention that
sgiven, the hegreater and more satisfactory
the result. Planted single tuber, in
hills two feet apart each way, a yield of
nearly 5000 bushels to the acre has been
reported, each plant yielding from 200 to
300 tubers, which may beplanted likepo-
tatoes, though each Joint of the stem can
be used as a set.
The plant, growing about a foot in
height, has round, bushy habit, having
medium-sized oval-shaped leaves, and has
many small pink flowers, which in them
selves are not unattractive.
AS for the use of theseroots, they proba-
bly, will never become a staple article for
the market, like other products, but will
tend toward securing more variety for
the table in winter. When picked alone
and properly seasoned, or mixed with
small cucumbers, onions, peppers and
caulifower pickles, they are excellent; then
again, when cooked as vegetable oysters,
they are delicious; or boiled, mashed and
seasoned, in the way ofthe eegg- plant, they
become a novel side dish, having pleas
ant and somewhat spicy flavor, midway
between the Jerusalem artichoke and
boiled chestnuts. In preparing them,
washing only is necessary, as the thin, ten
der skin renders peeling needless.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-09-11
Low Land Rice in Florida.

So far as we know no attention has
ever been given to low land rice in Flori-
da. The reasons for this are obvious.
The land upon which tits Ct own must besO
situated that it can beinundated, and the
preparation of land for this is necessarily
expensive. bitches and dikes must be pre-
pared, and the situation must be such
that water can be had and turned into
the fields at any time.
Tt appears to us that nothing would
pay better than the cultivation of low
land rice on the reclaimed lands in the
Kissimmee Valley or Lake Apopka and
in other sections of the State. This land
is sufficiently fertile to produce anything,
and the drainage canals, through which
water is always running, would furnish q
never failing and abundant supply OF the
necessary liquid.
Since the invention of the Burden pump,
if it will do all that is claimed for it, and
we believe it will, the water is entirely at
the control of the operator. The prepar-
alton of the land of course would be some
what expensive, but this item would only
occur once 1t would consist of ditching
the land and making dikes or embank-
ments around the field, so as to hold the
wafer pumped into it, and a vacuum
pump of sufficient size to supply the wa
ter, which would depend OF course upon
the area in cultivation.
The cultivation is very simple and in
expensive. The seed is sown in the early
spring, after the ground has been thor
oughly plowed. Theseed are sown broad
cast and covered with light harrow.
After this is done the pump could be put
into operation. OF course it is presumed
that the land planted is situated on or
near one of the drainage canals. AS be-
fore stated the size of the pump would de-
pend entirely upon the size of the field.
The pump that Mr.. Burden has in opera
ton on Lake Apopka will supply $780,

Stachys-The New Vegetable.

A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer
thus writes of this Japanese vegetable,
which some OF our gardeners may like to
try:
Stachys Afinis, or Tubefifera, is the
botanical name ofanovel vegetable which
but lately has attracted some attention,
first in Europe, then in this country. 1t
is native of North Africa, but comes to
us from Japan, where it is called Choro-
Gi. 1t is allied to the English ornamen-
tai woundwort, Anthyllis Arvensis. and
belongs to the same family as the Colens,
and the sweet-scented herbs, lavender,
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-09-11

In 1887 the average price for milch
COWS in Florida, according to the Depart
ment of Agriculture, was $15.15; this
year it's $16.58. For other cattle the
price per head in 1887 averaged was
1854; it is now $500. This shows that
the quality of our cattle is improving.

Candied Peel Industry.

In acountry like ours, where every ything,
or at least nearly everything, is prospec-
tive, those who keep their eyes open and
take advantage of every opportunity to
turn an honest penny u e the ones who
generally succeed.
In the orange belt of our State to large
extent we are living on hope-on thefuture
of our orange groves. While the doubt
and uncertainty in this kind of life, al
though we confess it is small makes it ex-
tremely fascinating, still it would be de-
cidedly more comfortable if we could find
something to bridge the echasm ofnecessity
until the groves yield their long expected
harvest.
In this connection we would refer to the
candied peel industry. Why can't it be
made to pay i'll Florida? We have the
raw material in abundance, l. e. the or
ange and lemon peel, and in few years
we will produce the sugar. Annually thous-
ands of hogsheads of thepeel preserved in
brine are shipped from the Mediterranean
W JULIET
and the process of candying is completed
there and here. Why not do the entire
business in Florida? The process is quite
simple. The oranges rlemons are simply

ly strong solution of brine, which pre-
serves the rind. Women are employed to
seperate the pulp from the rind, and then
the latter is immersed for two or three
days in fresh water. Next the rinds are
boiled for two or three hours, and all
trace of salt is eliminated. Then comes
the process of sugar absorption. The
rinds are placed in great earthenware
vessels, and syrup is pumped in to the
brim. The saturation proceeds during
eight days, and each day the syrup is
changed, being pumped from one jar into
another until, at the last stage, the syrup
is weak A slight fermentation succeeds,
and then the rinds are boiled in syrup
of 400 ofstrength. Thelaying on ofsugar
crystals is easily effected by dissolving
crystalized sugar in a little water, and
| driving off the water over q slow fire.

A CORRESPONDENCE of the Lakeland Advo-
cate urges that experiments be made in
the growing of the Cinchona tree inSouth

species of the tree, and thinks some of
them are adapted to the soil and climate
of Florida. The soil is all right, but you
will find the climate all wrong. Too cold.

A New and Promising Section.

"A new ana PROMISING OecC1On.
Commencing at Sanford, on Lake Mon
roe, and running southwest for one hun
dred and fifty miles to the gulf, the Orange
Belt Railroad passes through section OF
country which in the course Of time will be
one of the garden spot of the State.
The country along the line of this road
is comparatively in an undeveloped state,
and, in fact, until the road was put
through about three years ago, it was a
virgin forest.
OF course there is much land that the
traveller passes that is worthless, but the
larger portion of it is good, and the land
lying back from the road but contingent
thereto is, as a rule, superior to that
along its immediate line.
The trucking interest around Lake
Apopka, which the road passes on the
south, has already assumed immense pro-
portions, and every season hundreds OF
carloads of early vegetables are shipped
to the Northern markets.
The trucking business, however, is
not confined to the Lake Apopka section,
but extends southwark as far as Clear
Water, on Clear Water Harbor. Down
in this section the soil and climate is par
ticularly adapted to the production of
vegetables. It's proximity to salt water
makes it eminently fit for that class of
vegetation which always thrives best in a
salt atmosphere. Here the finest toma-
toes, celery, cabbage, etc, are grown in
the early spring without the use of any
fertilizer save the sea weed, which can be
gathered in tons along the shores of the
bay, and which when properly composted
and applied appears to supply all the
lacking constituents of the soil.
From Clear Water Harbor southwark
to ST. Petersburg, on Tampa Bay, and in
fact even further up the road, say from
Tarpon Springs, the most tender plants
flourish without injury from the FROST,
and the place seems to be the natural
home of the guava. In fact the citizens OF
northern South Florida would be no little
surprised at the size the bushes or trees
attain and the quantity of fruit they
yield. Lines and mangoves also do well.
The latter were killed for the first time in
the freeze of 1886, but since that time
have grown to veritable trees again and
have commenced to bear.
There are many points of interest along
the road beautiful lakes, immense hills
that to the average Floridian have the
appearance of huge mountains dense for
ests of hardwood, open high rolling pine
lands, etc., and it would require book
to enumerate the products of the coun-
try. Tt is settled to large extent by ma
tives. who depend upon their cattle, crops
of corn, potatoes, rice, cane, and lately
tobacco, for sustenance. In a few years
this section will be second to none in the
State.

A funny incident IS related by an At

Europe. The shah Of Persia was passing
through the mountains Of England while
she was there. With him he had his IA

came her royal catship. When 4 lonely
pass was reached, Miss Pussy, happening

pied a cat walking along, who belonged
TO a lonely hut near by. Out jumped the
cat. and away she went, and. although
many hours were spent in pursuit of her,
she never was found. The shah offered
go 900 for her recovery. but she was not
recovered. Upon reaching the nearest
