Genseng Root.

Sometime ago I think saw an inquiry
in the AGRICULTURIsT in regard to the
price of. .genseng root, where it could be
sold, etc. enclose cutting from King
ston, Ontario newspaper, which may
enlighten the parties if they have not
already had the inquiry answered.

st. John, n B.
"Great quantities Of genseng root are
being handled at Kingston, and poor
people in the back country are reaping
benefit from what has heretofore been an
unproductive crop. There is great de-
mand for it at 60 to 90 cents per pound
in wet state ; dried, it brings almost "a
per pound. The Chinese use it for medi-
cinal purposes, claiming it will cure all
complaints. Thousands of dollars are
being paid out for it to Canadians.V

grown, beggar weed will be the first
one eaten. Often horse will quit eating
corn when he is given an armful of beg
gar weed, and a horse is no sorry Judge
of something good. Some plants are not
liked by all stock, but this one is refused
by none. When the plants are thin on
good ground theysgrow very tall-eight
to ten feet highland, OF course, will, il
such cases, have body too hard for
stock.
Three and four feet high and thick is
the best sized crop. Some farmers prac-
tice the early cutting OF stalks back to
about one foot high and allow them TO
branch out. In this way they get very
satisfactory results. Our farmers should
pay more attention to forage plants that
contain a good proportion OF nutritious
matter, and at the same time be reno
vator of the soil.
[ am an advocate Of leguminous plants,
or any other that will furnish good nu-
tritious food for our stock, and at the
same time leave our land in as good, if
not better condition, than it was at first.
I should like very much for the farmers,
who are subscribers OF this paper, to give
this plant a trial, at least. will send a
small package, enough for start, for 4
cents to pay postage, to any who will

A GEORGIAN's OPINION.

Mr.. W. B. Stone, OF Thomasville, Ga,
writing to the Home and Farm OF Louis
vile, about the beggar weed, says:
1t is a vigorous grower. 1t will grow in
all kinds of soil, and it's deep roots enable
it to grow during all kinds of seasons.
It's dense foliage affords an excellent
shade for soil, and those acquainted with
the cockleburr have a good idea as to it's
habits ofmaking it's appearancein in spring.
Or, in other words, it begins to appear in
early spring and will continue till July.
Land here, which has been in beggar
weed for years, was never seeded but
once.
When stock is turned in field where
beggar weed, peas and native grasses are

Beggar Weed or Florida Clover.


Beggar Weed or Florida Glover.
Iwish to say to every reader OF your
most valuable and helpful paper that |
believe, everything considered, that Des-
medium MOLE (Florida beggar weed) is
the most valuable plant that grows in
our groves, corn fields Or any other field
where the plow stops running by the LIST
of July.
Why?
1. It will grow as high as your head on
pine land, when it is not too thick, as my
grove demonstrates.
2. 1t is fertilizer. My grove, on pine
land, looks like a hammock grove.
3. It is an excellent forage. Horses,
cows, pigs and chickens will eat it andg get
fat on it. In fact it's saccharine juices are
agreeable to the human palate. 1t makes
excellent hay, if cut while in blossom. My
mule is now living on it, and I have it
stored away in my barn, in connection
with crab grass hay, for her whenit is no
more in the grove.
f. When the field or grove is once seed
ed with it it is always seeded, if you let it
go to seed, and it will go to seed unless
YOU pasture it too closel yor practice alb
solute clean culture from ten to twelve
months in the year, 1t loves to beplowed
and tumbled about in the first four to
six months of the year.
Why it should be called Florida beggar
weed or louise, do not altogether see,
for it does not beg for hammock land on
which to grow, neither does it have to
beg something to eat it nor does it make
theman on whose land it grows abeggar,
but it's nature and tendency is the con-
trary to all this.
At our experiment station atLake City
they think it should not be called weed
and so give it the name of Florida clover.
This is doubtless because they believe
that the Florida beggar louise is to Flor
ida what clover is to the North as a for
age and fertilizer. j. j. W. PLACE.

Mr.. Sutton's Plan of Growing Celery.
For the benefit of lovers OF celery, will
give my experience in that line. While it
can be grown in pine land by using plen-
ty of fertilizer, [ prefer to grow it on
muck, as it grows more brittle and juicy
than on pine land. | plant on the level
two rows, twelve inches apart, then a
space of two feet When the plants get
strong and eight to ten inches high, ]
work in around them light dressing OF
salt and ashes; for blanching | take two
four inch boards and two six inch, nail
them together, making a long box or
pipe about four inches inside, this | then
saw into lengths sixteen inches EACH
by using square ofheavy paper towrap
it with, the plant is drawn together and
the box can be slipped over it, the paper
is then withdrawn and the plant is boxed
about a week before taking up. close
the top of the box tight by stufing moss
around the plant at the top of the box.
By this method [ can grow clery every
way equal to Northern grown. | find
the white varieties do much better than
self blanching kind. The most difficult
part OF celery growing in Florida is get

Opposed to the Proposed Amendment.

Editor Florida A gricu7turist:
/ was very much pleased with, and in
terested in your editorial of September
Oath, headed Our Politics. You hit our
law makers some hard and we'll deserved
licks.
1t seems to be very difficult matter
to get any needed legislation, but there
seems to be no trouble in passing laws
which are not needed by any consider
able number of people, if there is money
or influence behind the proposed legisla-
tion.
I have lately been carefully looking
over the proposed amendments to the
constitution, and it strikes me as being a
piece OF legislation that is entirely un-
necessary and uncalled for by any great
public necessity. 1t is an old maxim to
let we'll enough alone. And what is to be
gained by having two elections month
part is more than [ can see. Requiring
our voters to loose two days time to
elect our officers, when it could as well be
done in one, is a heavy and unnecessary
tax. Besides this it will keep the county
in a prolonged political alexcitementt that is
in no way wholesome. 1t must be remem-
bered that our voting districts are as a
rule very large, many of the voters hav-
ing to travel from five to ten miles in
order to reach the polling places, which
require a great deal of time.
Besides this, thecost OF conducting our
elections is considerable. Our law MAX
ers may think that this amounts to
nothing, as the our people pay for it.
In all of my readin gs l have never seen
a single argument advanced as to the
advantage of having our State election
separate from the Congressional and Ma
tiOnal. A large number OF States which
formerly held their State and general
election separate have changed to one
day. One great objection to the pro-
posed change is the opportunity afforded
for colonizing voters from other States.
For these reasons, in addition to 9th
ers that might be named, am opposed
to the proposed change, and am much
mistaken if the farmers generally do not
vote against it, certainly it will be to
their advantage to do so, as they have
much to lose and nothing to gain by the
adoption of the proposed amendment.
