Celery.

Celery seed should be planted in May,
or by the 10th of June at the latest
Great care is necessary to protect the
seed-bed or boxes, both before and after
termination, from the sun during the
heat of the day, and also from beating
rains. This must be continued a good
while, and the plants gradually Injured to
the SUMS rays. Remember also to thin
out where they are too thick.
The last OF September have the plot of
ground to be used deeply spaded or
broken up with pillow, followed by the
prong-hoe or harrow, according as the
area is to be large or small. Moist but
not wet land is preferred for celery,
! though it has been successfully raised on
the stiffest clay, and on very dry and
sandy land in Northern and Southern
Florida. 1t is useless to attempt to grow
celery except on very rich land. On even
the most fertile it will pay to fill broad,
deep furrow under the row, nearly full
with good stable manure, and bring to a
level with surface soil. Lay off the rows

FoR THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Make the Farm More Pleasant and
Profitable.

1t is said that almost every man not
engaged in some agricultural pursuit,
has earnest desire to some day become
worker in the land an husbandman in
the general sense OF the word. Now this
is deep rooted sentiment and no words
Of ours can changeit.
Practically, men are leaving the coun-
try every day for town and city life and
this mainly for the reason that they are
tired and discouraged with agricultural
life and pursuits. Men cling to the city
though they nearly starve and can scarce
ly get decent covering or shelter. Boys
leave their comfortable country homes to
seek life in the town or city with more
than fifty chances to the hundred against
them. These things being facts, it is
obvious to us all that there is something
that calls for actions-we must make our
country homes more satisfactory to both
young and old. And how can this be
done? Two lines of action seem quite
indispensable to it's accomplishment.
Man Is Social beng and young people
require frequent intercourse with others
of like age. How can this be best attain
ed in the country? Only by settling in
villages. 1t is almost cruel to. move a
growing family two, three or five miles
from settlement OF several near (close
by neighbors. Then farm, grove or
garden work must be brought to give O.
better remuneration at present it pays
more poorly than any other calling-as
a rule. How can this be done? By re-
moving some Or all the restrictions that
our present laws impose upon agricult-
ural products. Indirectly the farmer has
to pay tribute to nearly every other
worker, and this is grievous wrong.

possible, select cool spell, and if this
should succeed a rainy day all the better,
but do not wait especially forrain. Well
watered at the time of transplanting, and
the earth pressed compactly about the
roots, celery plants rarely fail to live. AS
soon as the young plants have taken
root and begun to grow, stir the ground
frequently with cultivator or hoe, to push
them along as rapidly as possible.
About the middle OF December, suppos-
ing the plants to have made good pro-
gress, the work of blanching or whitening
should begin. That is done by first
throwing or drawing earth up to the
plants with pillow or hoe, and then, while
tightly grasping the leaves with one
hand, with the other apply and pack the
earth firmly about each plant, to keep
the leaves in an upright position. More
soil is to be drawn from the middles-be-
tween rows-and the operation continued
until the desired height is reached The
finishing touches should be given with a
broad paddle or the back of spade, to
leave the sloping surface smooth and
even, the better to shed rain and avoid
washes. After remaining thus ridged up
few weeks, the celery will be ready for
use-white, tender, and crisp. Since
blanching is effected by excluding light,
the same end may be gained in several
other ways, such as close covering Of
clapboards, the use of straw, moss, etc.
Golden dwarf is a rich favored variety,
and well adapted to this climate. Do not
attempt to chill up' around the plant
while the ground is wet. Being a sea-
side plant, the application of common
salt at the rate of one quart to every
twenty feet of drill will be of advantage.
Clipping the tops and ends of the leaves
with scissors while the plants are N the
seed-bed, will make them "stocky," and
induce vigorous growth of roots.-Se-

HEATING BY STEAM.
One of the Most Int esting Discoveries
Made at ,mpeii.

One of the Most Int estng Discoveries
Made at impeii.
That steam heating is not new APP
pears from remarks made by Mr. George
H. Babcocl before the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers some time ago.
Mr.. Babcock cited the fact that when
at Pompeii he found that the old Roman
baths there were heated by steam, and
heated in a better and more scientific
manner than is practiced at the present
time. The walls were double, and the
steam, of course not above atmospheric
pressure, was carried up through these
walls all around the room. The walls
were thus heated to a temperature APP
proXimating to that of the 7team, and
the occupants of the rooms were ex-
posed to radiation from all directions.
This. Mr.. Babcock held, is the true
theory of heating, and the system Of
steam heating by indirect radiation, or
heating the enveioping air only, is UNI
scientific. expensive and uncomfortable,
1t is of interest to add here that the
phia. in delivering lecture before the
Franklin Institute several years ago,
said that he had seen in the museum at
Naples a boiler substantially of the
same construction as the modern, ver-
teal. tubular boiler. This boiler was
found at Pompeii, and was made of cop
