Electric Soil Tester.

The well-known fact that damp earth
is better conductor of electricity than
dry earth is the basis of an apparatus
invented by Prof. Milton Whitney, chief
of the division of soils in the Agricul-
tural Department, which he thinks will
be valuable aid in producing the best
results from the cultivation of soil.
The plates, constructed of the material
which forms the carbon points in arc
lights, are sunk In the ground at any de-
sired depth A current of electricity is
then passed from one to the other, and
an instrument measures in ohmS tho>re-
sistance which the soil between the
plates makes to the passage of the cur
rent. A table prepared from the re-
suits of many experiments shows at .
glance the percentage of moisture in the
soil.
The apparatus will be especially valu-
able in hothouse culture, in Prof. Whit
yne's opinion, for in that the conditions
are the best for regulating the proper
tion of moisture, but the amount Of
moisture in the fields can be regulated
to greater degree by cultivation. This.
is particularly so in sections of the coun-
try where irrigation is practiced. By
the use of this apparatus, which is sim
pie and comparatively inexpensive, the.
farmer can accurately determine what
crop Is best adapted to the soil Cf each
field, and thus make his labor and in
vestment count tor the most in resulta-
From series of experiments conducted
last summer Prof. Whitney has practi-
cally demonstrated that when pasture
land shows less than thirteen per cent
of moisture it has reached the danger
line, and severe drought is imminent.

Florida Needs Farmers Institutes.

Florida Needs Farmers Institutes.
Anything that lifts men out of mere
routine and gives fresh opportunities is
q benefit; and this is what the farmers
institute does. 1t is to farming what
the district school is to education. Ex-
perience proves that they can be made
very interesting, and why not have
them in every school district in the
State? In no section Of the United States
is farming so little understood as IN
most of tie Southern States. The South
is about fifty years behind the age in
farming. ]: This may seem to be sweep
ing assertion to many nevertheless it is
fact. and farmers institutes if properly
conducted could be made very profitable
to all.
4 What Florida wants just now more
than anything else is practical farmers,
and home industries Of various kinds.
For number ofsayears we have had,
ON small scales kind Of an experiment
farm Of our own, and among many other
things that we have tried to grow was
broom corn. We found there is no diff
Guilty in growing it in good soil. Why
could 1t not be made crop and profit
able industry? Wherever there is a
will there is a way of making ends
meet.
When I first came to this State as a
winter visitor, was told by the real
estate agents that vegetables Of all kinds
and descriptions could be grown in Or
dinary Florida soil. Others who lived
here at the time and were not engaged
in the real estate business, told me there
was no use in trying to have a garden
except on muck land as nothing would
grow on pine land soil. 1 have found
since that the real estate man who
thought he told me lie came nearer
the truth than those who told me moth
ing would grow.
/ was also informed on my first venture
in gardening and farming that farming
in this State had to be conducted on an
entirely different plan from that of any
other section of country, that mans
knowledge gained and required in any
other country availed him nothing in
Florida, all had to be relearned. To
certain extent that is true, but God Cor
bid that anyone ignorant of the science
of farming should come here with the
intention of farming and expect to gain
his knowledge here. It.. would be dear.
Our experiment farm Is located in the
fat woods. no muck or hammock land
near 1t, and claim when once this kind
of soil is put ia good condition it will
prove to be the best soil for all round or
diversified farming.
We have grown on this soil as fine
vegetables as ever we have grown in the
North, and that is saying great deal.
Last spring We had onions grown from

have just been reading the article of
L. P. s. in No. 40, Dec. 4, 1895, of the
AGRICULTURIsT, and it seems singular
and surprises me that intelligent men
should 60 TO so much trouble and ex-
pense to experiment with crops and leave
out the most proper and important part
in his sweet potato experiment, that is
the seed or slips used in planting. He
says he used vines from standovers. Now
I have lived in Florida nearly quarter
of a century and have raised sweet po-
tatoes every year since l settled in the
State, and early learned that the vines
from standovers were not reliable to cut
slips from nor in fact any slips frcm old
tough vines. The vines may start out
from standovers and look thrifty and
healthy and appear tender. For some
cause they will not produce a crop equal
to potatoes dug in the fall and kept in
some suitable place until thoroughly dry
and ripe, then bedded out in good shape
to take draws or slips from to plant. If
you wish to have plants to set early, bed
out peck or half bushel in the last of
December and you will have good vines
to set In April for early digging. But
for field crops do not bed out until in
March and then the last of May or first
Of June be ready to set.
For vines to set early, make bed in
some safe place, by digging or taking off
the surface soil twelve inches deep as
large as you want your bed; fill in six in
ches deep with good stable manure, not
too rotten, and tramp manure down hard,
then thoroughly wet with water so the
manure will be we'll soaked through,
then cover with six inches of good rich
soil as you can find we'll mellowed and
pulverized; now place the potatoes about
an inch apart evenly over the bed press
ing them down with the hand, then cover
two inches deep with more good rich
earth and level off evenly and then cover
the bed all over with cotton seed meal
until the soil is hid from view and over
that cover all with six Inches of straw,
crab hay, or pine straw is best. Then
drive stakes at each corner and make a
shelter of boards or bark or any material
to protect from freezing. If we have
cold weather after four to six weeks ex-
anime the bed and if sprouts break

Now, ,judging'from our own experience
so far: which is hardly beginning,
see no reason why every country dwelel
in Florida should not have good garder
of vegetables for home use three fourth
of the year, and it is all through in
dolence and shiftlessness if any farmer
in the State has not food enough during
the whole year for all the live stock
needed on his place.
We havea six weeks Irish potato which
does well in this soil, and by cvmmenc
ing planting 1t about the middle o
August, and continue planting few
rows about every two or three weeks
thereafter, new potatoes can be had
during the whole winter season. If one
or two paintings do freeze there is al
ways another crop in the ground ready
to come up. This plan holds good in
planting other tender vegetables.
To push plant of any kind there is
nothing better than frequent applications
of liquid manure, and most all vegeta
bles are much better when grown
quick.
Parsley is an easy plant to grow il
planted in the fall of the year in trenches,
like celery, and frequently watered with
liquid manure water. In fact for all
garden purposes there is no better ferti'
lizer than well rotted stable manure, Ell
ther spread broadcast and worked into
the.soil, put in trenches or hills. or ap
piled in liquid form to the plants.
We have in this locality some practis
cal farmers and we are pushing right
along oranges or no oranges. We intend
in the future to place orange culture
where it belongs, making it a kind Of
