LoNDoN's IMPERIAL INSTITUTE.

Description and Objects Of the Msgnin.
cent Building just Opened by Victoria.
The object of the Imperial Institute,
which was opened in London the other
day by Queen Victoria with an impos-
ing ceremonial, lis to promote the de-
velopment of the material resources of
the empire and to bind its component
parts more closely together by variety
of interests-commercial, social, intel
lectual, and sentimental" The insti-
tute, in short, is designed to be q meet
ing-house for overseas men when they
return home, q showroom and exchange
for overseas produce practical book
of reference, as it were, for informa-
ton about every inch of the empire,
and school for young Britons intend
ing to emigrate. Externally it presents
q massive and imposing appearance.
The plan of the building is very simple.
The entrance is in the center under the
great tower, named the queens tower;
and facing it is the approach to the
main staircase, with two corridors rum
ming right and left to the east and west
wing. These corridors run along the
whole length of the front of the build
ing and give access to series of hand
some and lofty rooms, which are devo-
ted to the social objects of the insti-
tute. They are really clubrooms, and
the two chief floors of this part of the
building practically constitute colos-
sal club. There are also six very fine
chambers, called conference rooms,
where the representatives of the colon
les will meet on ceremonious occasions.
Behind the main structure is series Of
galleries running round two rectanRu-
lar open spaces. These galleries are to
contain a complete museum, or rather
exhibition, of British produce, natural
and artificial, from every part of the
empire. At present only the East In
dian section is approximately complete.
though Victoria and Queensland aro
well forward. What there is, however,
suffices to show the intention. Hore
are rows upon rows of cases containing
hundreds and hundreds of specimens
minerals, woods, fbers, grasses, seeds,
barlxs, leaves, and SO on in profusion,
but all neatly labeled and ticketed with
name and place of origin. The main
object of the collection Is commercial,
and the museum is q showroom whero
specimens of every kind of imperial
produce are on view f0r those whom =

quite explainablc by certain laws of hui

declared, saucily, that her great-grand-

come back for a brief visit to Garth just

wildly.

Walter looked at Helen and tele-

Southern Celery Culture.

In the intercstingbulletin of the Louis
lana Experimental Station appears the
following interesting chapter of celery
culture in the South.
In the South it is better to plant in
beds, and the system suggested by Prof.
Massey, of North Carolina Experimental
Station, has been found to be the best.
1t consists Of planting the celery in beds
OF five feet wide and of any length de-
sired, leaving five feet of a space be-
tween each bed. In the bed the plants
are placed in rows twelve inches apart
and six inches in the row. AS soon as
the plants begin to grOW-the growth
depending very largely upon the variety,
fertility of soil and climate conditions
small quantities of earth is placed
around plants, Ompelling them to grow
more upright, not using any more earth
than will hold the leaves upright. This
supporting of the plants with earth
should be done when the Topping cOndi-
ton Of the leaves demand it-but from
three to five landings will be found
suflicicnU 70 facilitate this handling
and to guard against the getting OF the
earth between the leaves the tops of each
plant are held together with a single
wrap Of string while the earth is being
ShOVGled in between the rows.
The time Of bleaching will, of course
depend upon time Of tranSplanting,
growth ofplants, etc, and in South Louis
lana, where September and October
are nearly as warm as July and August,
it may be we'll to defer the transplant
ing of celery until the latter part of
October, and during the cold spells of
the winter months protect the tender
varieties with straw. In this way the
White Plume, which is a very desirable
table variety, may be grown without
interference from frost.
BY later transplanting we escape the
fall drouth, which is a serious obstacle
where watering facilities are not good.
The months Of February, March and
the first part Of April comprise the most
desirable time for developing and bleach

only practicable method of saving
feed in this State. Hay can be
cured here in favorable weather
and with great care. 1t may pay
the small farmer to do it at odd
moments but, every pound we ever
saved cost us as much as we pay
for good Northern hay. The total
cost of our silo and machinery was
81, 900. This cost should not
wholly be charged to the silo, for
engine and boiler will be used for
grinding and mixing chemicals for
fertilizer and for some other pur-
poses. With the silo we make hay
whether the sun shines or not, rain
and moisture being no great OBJ
lection. What our success may be
with silagc remains to be seen.
Whether we succeed or not our eff
forts will prove of benefit to the
people Of Florida. We shall not
stop short of such complete success
or utter failure that the silo ques-
ton will be settled once for all.
That is also our intention regarding
irrigation and the orange business.
In all these matters we have much
to learn, and expect to have as
long as we live.
We have engaged in numerous
other enterprises, in an expert
mental way, all Of which may be
of interest to the general farmer
and fruit grower of Florida, but
which perhaps should properly be
discussed in the columns of some
agricultural paper rather than in
The IRRIGATuR.
The matter which is most alb
sorbing our attention at the present
time is the plan of selling our
oranges nd other fruits in car
lots by our own agent on the
road. We have become our own
commission man. No more con-
signments for us. Look out for
the Chat Brandt in the market.

Profit in White Field Beans.

What to raise in the place of wheat,
which has not been a paying crop for
several years, is question which is
agitating many farmers. believe that,
for some districts, beans come nearer to
filling the place of wheat than any other
crop. Like wheat there is ALWAYS
ready sale for it, it has fewer enemies,
can be kept over with much less shrink
age, as rats and mice do not trouble it,
and commands from two 10 three times
the price of wheat, while the vines and
pods are fully equal to hay for feeding
purposes. A poor soil may raise a fair
crop of beans, or a fair crop may be
raised with but little work.

work required in applying insecti-
cides.
No one unfamiliar with it can
appreciate the advantage it is to
have an ample supply of water al
ways within a few rods of the spray
cart. Instead Of dipping or pump
ing the water into the carts a hose
is carried on each wagon, and it
is the work of but two or three
minutes to couple the open hose
and fill a cart. At least fifteen
minutes for team and three men is
thus saved every time a cart is
filled. When spraying is done on
a large scale, as with us, this is no
uncomfortable item. More than
half the time Of fifteen men and
six mules is consumed in spraying
our groves during the summer sea-
son. We hope by another year a
plan will be perfected by which in
secticide can be applied through
the ordinary pipes and hose of If
rigation plants. We understand
that you, Mr.. Editor, are seeking
a patent on such a system.
In concluding upon this point I
will only add that our plant was
not completed early enough last
spring, except on one grove, to
afford a thorough test of the bene-
fits of water on orange trees. On
that grove we have set splendid
crop, and in May we had a new
growth equal to any June growth
l ever saw. We have seen the
same result attained by others in
former seasons, while crops were
light on surrounding property ev-
erywhere. When it is remembered
that half the groves in the State do
not pay fair revenue, that uni
form crops of the finest early fruit
are essential to success, that water
applied copiously during the dry
season materially aids both growth
and early maturity, and that the
question of profitable orange rails
ing is rapidly reducing itself merely
to the 'Esurvival of the fttest," it
seems to us that our costly irri ga
ton plant is bound to pay in the
end.
do not dwell upon our contem-
plated use of water on other crops
than the orange as our plans are
not as yet fully matured.
You have also inquired regard
ing our silo which has recently been
put in. AS to that will say that
we have erected a building of wood
for that purpose. This building
is 32x16x16 feet, and is divided
into two compartments by nova
BILE plank partition. 1t is as
strongly built in every way as is
possible. It's ceiled by two cours-
es of matched material, each
