GARDEN AND ORCHARD.
Seedtime Suggestions Fertilizers for
Fruit Trees.

Look we'll into the young nursery stock.
Many diseases of trees are brought into the
orchard from the nursery at the time the
young trees are purchased.
While our farmers are witnessing the
low price of wheat they are neglecting
crops that are grown in other countries and
sold to us, such as barley, onions and even
potatoes. Barley is a crop that should
thrive on any soil that will produce oats.
Farmers in the West are turning their
attention to it, and those who raised barley
last year found it profitable.
WrIl-drained lands can be worked early
in the spring, and the soil will be warmer
than if no drainage is done. Soils that are
slow in absorbing moisture, or which bake
so hard as to crack, will be benefited by
drainage and lime.
Broad tires are an advantage in those
sections where the roads are bad, and they
also help to pack down the roads that have
been newly made. There have been great
improvements made in wagon tires, as they
are now adjustable, and can be used or

the narrow when desirable to do so.
Corn is crop that entails large am' unit
of work, and especially when the farmer is
busy. \ corn harvester is now one of the
implements used in the West. 1t cuts
down the stalks and bundles them, ready
for shocking, the same as with wheat.
The dairyman commits an injurious act
against his fellowmen when he leaves the
carcass of a dead animal unburied in the

The recent misfortune to southern truck
farms by the frosts will probably raise prices
for fruits and vegetables in this region.
Our Northern growers should endeavor to
get their produce in market as early as
possible.
Put in the early beets and parsnips as
soon as the ground permits. They are
crops that never should be delayed, and
should also be forced by the liberal use of
manure.
Crisp radishcs are obtained by forcing
them to grow rapidly. Put the seed in rich
ground that was heavily manured last year
and work the soil deep and fine before
planting the seed.

roads that are not only the cause of vexation
and discomfort to those who drive over
them but that entail actual loss upon
those who are compelled to carry their
goods over them to the market or to the
railway stations.
The enormous drain made by bad roads
on our resources was estimated by Colonel
Greene, and his figures will not be doubted
by any one who has paid any attention to
the subject. He said: at has been proved,
not only by mechanical experiment but by
actual test, that the same force which
draws one ton on muddy earth road will
draw four tons on a hard macadam. On
the improved roads of New Jersey loads of
four to five tons are habitually drawn by
two horse team. This effects saving Of
fully three fourths of hauling to the station,
and reduces the cost Of road transportation
from 80 cents to - cents per ton per mile.
What this saving amounts to may be
imagined when it is known that the New
York Central Railroad carries nearly
10000 600 tons of weight in a year. II
this is hauled only two miles-by road to or
from the station, and "A saving of 224 cents
per ton per mile could be effected, it would
mean total saving of 50, 600, 900"

THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.

Colonel Francis Ninton Greene has
recently delivered an address on the sub
iect of good roads in the Buttertield Prac-
tical Course at Union College. In the
course of his remarks he showed that while
Massachusetts annually eXpends 500 mile
on roads outside of cities, New Jersey, SAB,
and New York, $50, the average expendi-
ture in the other States is much less. If it
is only SlS mile, this means total
expenditure throughout the country of
so, 200, 900, and much the larger part of
this vast sum is literally thrown away on

did not differ in the least from the Iknd
grown in this country every year. Why
cannot farmers grow peas in large quanti-
ties for canning purposes. BY cooperative
effort an outfit for canning peas could be
introduced in every community, not only
providing a profit to growers but also
aifording employment to many in picking
and hulling the peas.
Every farm should have hive of bees,
not only for the honey, but in order to
complete the fertilization of blossoms, the
bees being agents for that purpose.

minutes until the mixture has the appear
ance OF thi ok cream. Kerosene will not
mix with water, but will form an emulsion
with soap. Now add slowly, stirring well
from ten to fifteen gallons of water, accord
ing to the strength desired. 1t will keep
any length of time, and destroys insects on
trees and plants, as well as fleas lice, etc,
and does not injure plants like unadulter-
ated kerosene, being also much cheaper. A
gill of spirits of turpentne will improve
the emulsion if added at the time of add
ing the kerosene. An efficient sprayer
should throw fine, mist like spray, and
the spray should spread over large surface
so as to enable one to do the work quickly
and thoroughly.

Do not plant the seeds of tender plants,
which are intended to grow outside of the
hotbed or cold frames, until the apple trees
blossom, as late frosts may follow too early
planting and cause loss, as well as compel
ling repetition of the work.
The flower garden should be cultivated
by the women of the family, using light
tools, as they take more interest in flowers
than do the men. An hours work outdoors
every day will improve the health. Any
thing that will induce outdoor exercise
should be accepted

In other words, the question of roads in
many of our agricultural communities is
question of farming at loss or at a profit
And there is not community or town in
the thickly settled parts of the country
that cannot provide itself with thoroughly
good highways by anticipating its road
taxes for fifteen or twenty years. Money
borrowed on fifteen or twenty year bonds,
to be paid off from the annual road taxes,
would be sufficient for the work in each
locality, while the. expenditure would in
volve little, if any, increased taxation.
The plan that is here suggested has been
tried in towns near New York and it ia
noticeable that every good piece of road that
has been constructed in these communities
increases the sentiment in favor Of SPEND
ing money in this way.

APRIL WORK ON THE FARM
This is the Time to Use the Insect
Sprayer.


Spraying is most effectual when it is done
early in the season. The sooner the work
begins the better Sprayers are now made
of many different designs, and solutions
can be carried in barrels on wheels, or on
the back, in contrivance similar to a
knapsack. Spraying is intended not only
to prevent diseases of fruits and vegetables
and to protect the trees and plants in that
respect but is used also as safeguard
against insects. 4 fungicide is a solution
used for destroying parasitic fungi, such as
rot mildew, blight rust, etc. An insecti-
eide is used for the destruction of insects.
OF the well known solutions that have been
tested and found ellicacious are those
mentioned below:
COPPER SOLUTIONS.

Once Buyers, Now Sellers.

clay and grain merchants in this city
are now buying produce Of farmers to
whom in former years they have always
sold It," was the remark of a prominent
member of the trade yesterday. This
statement shows a wonderful change in
the industrial conditions of the State.
One of the largest dealers has bought
a considerable quantity Of corn in Middle
Florida. The Southern product can be
handled safely during the winter. but in
the spring Western corn lis given the
preference.
Because of the loss of their orange
trees last winter, farmers generally
throughout the State have been COM
PEELED to turn their attention to the pro-
duction Of other crops. While formerly
they bought grain for consumption by
themselves and their stock, now they
are not only feeding themselves and
their cattle, but are also selling a sur
plus. The price received for Florida
corn is very low, but, however small the
amount, it is gain upon former years,
so far as industrial development is con-
cerned.
Opinions differ as to whether the
present state Of things will become per-
manent or not. Some hold that after
the orange groves get into bearing again,
two years hence, no more inclination
than formerly to raise farm crops will
appear. Others believe that after the
habit of raising hay and grain has once
become fixed, the practice will continue
permanently. Be that as it may, the
significant thing, so far as the mercantile
interests of Jacksonville are con-
cerned, is that merchants in the lines
referred to have temporarily lost con-
siderable part of their market.
Another fact of interest In this con-

toes piled on top to any depth to suit the
quantity.
Captain Stones home is on one of the
highest points of Mobile Bay, therefore
the drainage may be better than at some
other places. Where there Is any damp
ness in potato house or basement, air
Stacked lime can be used as an absorb
ent to take up the moisture. Dust lime
over the floor of the bin, put in six or
seven inches of potatoes and then use
lime again, repeat the operation until
all are put away. One bushel of lime
will do for forty bushels of potatoes,
though more will not injure them, the
lime rather improving the flavor than
otherwise. -Southern Agriculturist.

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 a bitterlsh, 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 a salad and to impart flavor to
soups, and it is sometimes used as a
boiled vegetable.
Celery contains sugar, mucilage, starch
and substance resembling mama
sugar which acts as stimulant to the
SHrino- genital organs, and a valuable
preparation is made from shot, leaf and
stalk, which is recommended for nervo-
Gus debility.
This vegetable sells readily for 81 per
dozen in the southern markets, and fir ON
rs cents TO 81. SO per dozen, net, in the
northern markets.
Mr.. Joseph Leinhart, Of Oviedo, has
grown celery for the past ten years. He
is practical gardener, and has made a
special study regarding the production
of this vegetable. In conducting his
experiments he has discovered plan of
treatment which cannot fail to produce
satisfactory results
Besides growing celery in large guam
titles, he is raising celery plal is 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 bus
mess depression caused by last winters
freeze.
1t requires from %, 900 to %, 900 p!a
to set an acre, which will produce about
1890 dozen, showing an enormous profit.
The expense of raising celery is very
little more than that of cabbage crop.

Saving Sweet Potatoes

On our recent visit to Baldwin county,
we saw at the beautiful home OF Captain
Frank Stone, at Montrose, sweet pota-
toes that were grown in 1894 and were
perfectly sound on the Both Of Septem-
Der, 1895. They were in potato house,
dug about four feet into the ground and
walls made of brick, just like a base
ment. There was wooden frame about
three feet high on the brick walls. The
enclosure was 16x16 feet, and divided
into compartments. The potatoes were
placed into partitions so as to divide the
