Silver will win; If 1t don't bullets
will.-Corinth, Miss, Subsoiler and
Democrat. This Is fair sample of
the free silver argument to be found
in number of our exchanges. That's
right gentlemen; If you fall TO con-
vince man that 1t is to his interest to
hollo for "16 to /" trya few bullets.
The result, If not beneficial TO the free
silver cause, will at least increase the
demand for lead, and thus raise the
price. Lead mines will be developed
hundreds of idle men will be furnish
ed lucrative employment, and happi-
ness and prosperity will once more
visit our people.-Bolivar County

becomes as inoffensive as cowardly
ruffian whose pistol is in pawn, while
the timld ones that formerly held aloof
soon gain courage and march boldly up
to their places at the rack, and when
feeding is over, lie down and chew their
cuds in peace.
While it is more convenient and eco
nomlcal for some to purchase than 1t is
to produce their milk, this holds good
with fewer now than in more prosperous
times. And in view of my own expert
ence, / urge those who have not such
convenience and ability, to possess them
selves of a cow at any reasonable sacrl-
fee.
Of course there are some drawbacks,
and especially checks upon ones time,
since whatever happens or fails to hap
pen, the cow must have attention. There
are, besides, unforeseen OUTLAWS which
can not be reckoned IN advance, but the
good largely overbalances all cost and
care.
The possession of cow also makes a
good garden possible, and this in turn
improves and economies living for both
man and beast, since what cannot be
consumed or sold, may be fed to the cow
without entailing transportation charges.
But don't buy civilized cow and then
undertake to have her rough it like ma.
tive cattle. The man who has stock
prowling about the streets is justly held
in dread, If not contempt and beside,
their Is neither pleasure, profit, nor
peace Of mind in it.

The Peach.
Berkeley, California.

AS per promise, / write you something
about our peaches. The peach is not
native Of Persia, but of the colder por-
tions Of China, and was taken to Persia
from northern China. 1t came to Europe
from Persia, hence it's Persian name,
Prrnus Persica, and, as is well known,
that strain from Persia that is in such
universal use in all our northern country,
is now naturalized in this semi-tropical
section Of Florida.
The Peen-to peach is native Of the
tropical portion Afghanistan, hence its
adaptabiltY to our climate here. A
naturalist named Atchison found it wild
in the Haza1adkat ravine in Afghanistan,
and speaks Of it as "a tree of nearly ev-
ergreen foliage, with fruit somewhat
fattened. and a peculiar shaped nut,
having more the appearance of a peach
than that of the almond. Darwin, IN
his ''evolution," argued that the peach
is an almond
1t found it's way across by seed into
Cochin China, where it took it's name
from city named Pin; and to, or too,
in that language, is peach, hence Peen.to
peach.
The great pomologist, Downing, got
seeds of it from there, but his section,
Newburg. on-H Hudson, was too cold for it
and he lost it. The Hon. P. J. Berckman,
of Ca, procured seeds of it from Aus
tralia, but 1t was of no value with him,

For the Florida Agriculturist.

The Bleaching of Nuts by Dipping.
The commercial requirement that ne
shells of nuts offered for sale shall have
a light and uniform tint has caused the
process of sulphurlng, so generally ap-
piled to drying fruits, to be applied to
them. This process, however, is not
only often unsatisfactory as regards the
result desired, but even the strongest
partisans of fruitsul phuring admit that
almonds and walnutS are frequently In
iured in their flavor by the needful pro-
longed treatment in the sulphur box.
This is inevitable so long as the latter is
charged with column of trays of which
the lower portion is necessarily Oversul-
phured, if those at the upper end are to
receive any effect at all. The result is
that the shell of the fruit below is cor
roded ("rotted''), and the flavor of the
kernel IS lost. To some extent this can
be avoided by using only few trays;
but in any case the process is very I'M
satisfactory when the fruit is spotted by
rain or otherwise.
At the suggestion of several large
growers Of nuts, experiments have been
undertaken in the laboratory Of this sta
ton for the purpose Of devising more
satisfactory methods and securing uni
formity Of bleaching action; which of
course, is best accom- plished by using a
bleaching dip of definite strength into
which the nuts can be dipped for def
mite minimum time.
Of cheap and readily procurable
bleaching agents suitable for the purpose,
bleaching powder (also called Chord of
lime) and bi-sulphite of lime (used in
bleaching sugar cane juices, are most
available. Our experiments thus far ap.
pear to show that the corresponding
soda compounds act more rapidly and
satisfactorily; the soda-chlorid COM
pound is easily obtained from the COM
mercial bleaching powder by mixing the
solution with proper proportion of sal
soda. The bi-sulphite of lime is doubt
less obtainable at New Orleans.
The chloride of lime or soda, used
alone, is apt to continue to act for some

Celery in South Florida.

The cultivation of celery in South
Florida IS attracting attention. says the
Orlando Reporter. 1t succeeds admira-
bly, on flat woods lands and muck beds
when properly drained. 1t IS easily
grown when subjected to proper manip-
ulation.
Celery is grown during the fall, winter
and spring months in this latitude with
out danger from frost. as it will with
stand lower temperature than any other
vegetable product.
The common celery is found growing
wild in many parts of Europe in bitches
and brooks near the sea and in saline
soils. The wild plant has penetrating
odor and btterish, acrid taste, which
is radically changed by cultivation SO
that it's taste becomes agreeably sweetish
and aromatic. When bleached it is much
used as salad and to impart flavor to
soups, and it is som etimts used as
boiled vegetable.
Celery contains sugar, mucilage, starch
and a substance resembling mamma
sugar, which acts as a stimulant to the
urine genital organs, and valuable
preparation is made from root, leaf and
stalk. which is recommended for nervous
debility. s
This vegetable sells readily for 81 per
dozen stalks in the Southern markets,
and from rs cents to 81 80 per dozen, net
in the Northern markets.
Mr.. Jos. Leinhart, Of Oviedo, this
county, has grown celery for the past
ten years. He is practical gardener.
and has made special study regarding
the production of this vegetable. In
conducting his experiments he has dis
covered a plan Of treatment which Can
not fail to produce satisfactory results.
Besides growing celery in large guam
titles, he is raising celery plants for sale.
Persons purchasing plants from him will
be given his secret for managing the.
growth of the plants and the blanching
process free of charge. He has been in
duced to do this on account Of the bust :
ness depression caused by last winters
freeze.
1t required from %, 900 to 900 plants
to set an acre, which will produce about
2, 300 dozen, showing an enormous profit.
The expense of raising celery Is very
little more than that of a cabbage CROP

time in the shells Of almonds, softenlng
them and turning them whitish and
rather sickly tint, besides retaining a
slight mawkish odor. This can be pre-
vented and bright, natural color as
sured by following up with dip of the
bl sulphite, or by very light sulphuring.
1t should of course be understood that
badly stained nuts to which pulp of the
outer shell adheres, can and should be
cleaned, preparatory to bleaching; best
in revolving drums either with water
alone or, more effectually, with water
containing from three to five per cent of
Salsoda.
Very satisfactory results have been
obtained by us operating as follows:
The nuts, placed in a cane or splint
basket (such as Chinese use for carrying)
are dipped for about five minutes into
solution containing to every SO gallons
ofwater, six pounds of bleaching powder
and IL pounds of salsoda. They are
then rlnsed with hose and after
draining, again dipped into another
solution containing one per cent Of bi
sulphite of lime: after the nuts have as.
sumed the desired tint, again rinsed
vii water and then dried. Instead of
the second dipping, the nuts may be
sulphured for 10 or Is minutes.
The cost of SO gallons Of the chlorin
dip will be about 40 cents; the same
bulk of the bl-Sulphite dip, probably
considerably less; the time occupied in
handling one batch 1.-TWO dps,) IL 20 Is
minutes
Practice on large scale will doubles
show some advantageous modifice tions
of the above prescription; but the per-
feet ease with which definite result
can be secured by solutions of definite
strength acting under the eyes of the
operator, seems to commend it for
general use In preference to the crude
menthod of the sulphur box. Ofcourse,
nuts that are cracked open and there,
fore accessible to the solu tions would be
likely to be injured, but not moreso
than they are by the sulphur fumes
For English walnuts, either Of the two
bleaching dips may be used alone.

for want of naturalization. Thinking it
would succeed here in Florida, he sent it
to us, and 1t found a congenial home.
Our section is greatly indebted to Mr..
Berckman's research and thoughtful
ness, in this valuable acQuisition.-Our
peculiar climate has given the world
many genealogical changes that we do
not learn of as occurring in other Sec
tions, so now we have several sports of
this valuable fruit, that at first when the
seed was planted came true; that pecu-
liar shaped fruit "being somewhat fiat
tened, with a peculiar shaped nut, "
mentioned by Atchison-and we have
round and oblong peaches from it,
while some have changed to freestone
peaches, lasting from May into July.
None of the other strains Of peaches
do l consider of any value to us here in
this section of Florida, yet many of our
people who wish to raise this fruit, can't
see why peach that does well in Georgia,
or the northern part of our State, will
not do equally as well here.
Our Peen-to, as / have tried to show,
will not do there, neither will theirs do
here. The God Of nature has fixed that,
and man cannot change it. This one
tree in it's native state is adopted, or
naturalized, in our section, and the
other is not. There IS no such thing as
acclimatizing plants, hence there is no
change.
The peach in it's nature is a. rapid
grower, early to come into bearing,
hence short lived tree.
Our soils here, the larger portion of
them, are very poor, entirely lacking in
all the elements required by plants, ex,
cept tie sand, that gives to "trees and
plants it's strength and elasticity TO hold
itself upright in place." that is here in
abundance, and if, when we plant a
peach tree, we wish it to return its fruit
for our labor. we needs must supply it
with it's Necessary food, and that, too,
with liberal hand. [ will say. that
when you think you have given it enough
turn around again and give it as much
more; and it needs plenty Of culture.
Plow 1T, cultivate the land, hoe it, make
it grow all the year, and then look for
good results. Don't forget the old say
ing, from nothing expect nothing"
Don't put off planting the peach tree
longer than the first of January, if you
wish to get all the growth that it is the
nature of the tree TO make.
For fertilizer there is nothing better
than tobacco stems, say eight pounds
the first year, and double it the second.

further the third. term idea" It
then argues, apriori, that federal
once-holders in Missouri are sign
ing petition to the committee to
give all democrats an opportunity to
be heard, in selecting the date for
the state convention. That such a
proceeding would be inimical to
the 16 TO l idea; ergo the con-
clusion above follows. Granting,
for the sake of argument, that such
premises are true, how such a con-
clusion could logically follow is be-
yond the comprehension of the av-
erage mind.
The P. D. asserts with flourish
that the petition above referred to
was beng signed by postmasters,
assistant postmasters, deputy col
lectors, marshals, etc and cites as
proof thereof the name of one post
master, the editor of the TINES. Out
of list of several hundred names
the 2. D. could give but one federal

The friendship existing between
the editor of the TINKs and Judge
DeArmond, and the loyalty Of this

Col. Wade was not an avowed candi-

The editor of the TIMES has
always been consistent bimetallist
and the democrats of Mt. Pleasant
township can testify to the stand
he took when the occasion presented
that his vote was needed.
The success Of the party in the
state is dearer to us than the advan-
tage of one faction in the party over
the other, and we do not believe the
democratic party in the state will
assist i'll the scalping process being
carried on by the editor of the Post
