Ammonia as a Tree Wash.

Anyone who takes a careless "sniff'A
at the hartshorn bottle can readily
understand how even amoderate dose of
ammonia will produce fatal results
when designedly administered. But in
these very qualities, says Colemans
Rural World, is to be found the great
value of ammonia in keeping orchard
trees clean and vigorous. What insect
can possibly live to do damage to trees
after having received even homeo-
pathic dose of ammonia? Trees given
good ammonia wash once or twice a
year will show in their clean, shining
bark and glossy leaves high apprecia-
ton of such attention, and many or
chardists who have used these prepare
tions bear testimony to their substantial
value in increasing the vigor of the trees
and the size and quality of the crop. 1t
is comparatively cheap, and it's timely
application to almost any orchard will be
found to pay handsome ividends.

as any that go to the northern markets.;
they have a flavor distinctly their own
and are so juicy and luscious that any
one who once gets taste of them will
scarcely accept any other as long as our
crop is obtainable. Even our later
varieties that were in the market with
the Georgia crop sold in some instances
for more than So per carrier when the
Georgia crop brought very unsatisfactory
prices on the very same market.
One buyer inside of our own state who
the home product at So in preference to
the Georgia product at $1.75 per carrier,

anything from a distance but the merits
Of our peaches are SO superior that even
the charms of distance cannot pare
with them.
However great was the orange business
of the past, it will in very few years
more be equally as great but it will
never again occupy the entire field.
The peach business has come to stay
and to occupy one of the most important
places in the development Of our resour-
ceS.
The next few years will see it grow to
immense proportions, and fruit growers
who are long headed enough to see the
fact will not be long in taking hold of
the matter and planting largely.

Small VS.. Large Celery.
JAMES MOTT,

1t is quality in celery rather than
quantity that counts. There was for
time desire to get the largest varieties,
but it was soon found that these were
generally coarse and lacking the fine
nutty flavor of the medium sized sorts.
Much depends on how the celery is
grown. A quick growth means better
quality than where the growth is made
slowly. Hence the necessity for heavy
manuring with fnely-rotted manure.
This, however, is very drying to the
soil, and many market gardeners rely
largely on commercial nitrates to make
the rapid growth of vegetables that they
desire. The finest crop of celery we
ever raised was made this season in the
vacated cold frames where the early
plants of tomato, ETC., were grown.
The frames are 3x6 feet and in each
frame forty-eight plants were set In
April. A heavy mulch was put in the
frames, and water was given when it be-
came very dry. In one frame the plants
were permitted to suffer for water twice
and the result was hollow unedible
celery. A celery plant must never be
allowed to wilt even once if frst-class
celery would be secured Without irri-
cation it is almost impossible to grow
the vegetable profitably.

The Heredity of Agriculture.

The operations of blowing and other
wise cultivating the soil have probabl y
been done nearly as well as they ever
will be done by men who would be con-
sidered very ignorant. But they and
their forefathers for generations had
lived upon the soil and worked and
studied it and knew by experience how
to make plants grow. The soil and the
plants which they cultivated they knew
and knew we'll, and although they knew
very little nelse perhaps they could
hardly be called ignorant. The man
who thoroughly understands the art he
lives by can hardly be called unedu-
Gated, even though he cannot read q
word or write line and never heard of
bacteria.
1t is observation of the success Of such
men which has led some to think that
general education is not necessary to the
farmer. And, indeed, to such farmers
living under conditions which formerly
Prevailed, or perhaps even low If en-
gagged in truck farming for the home
marke', this is perhaps true. But
whether for good or evil the race of
farmers who are content to live merely
animal Instance, working and studying
the s1il and nothing else, is nearly ex-
tinct. Farmers are no longer content to
think of aothing but their farms, but
insist 0pon devotng time and thought
to other things They are also, as a
class, in America, exceedingly speculat-
i've, and prone to continually undertake
what they have not the capital to &C
complish in the vain expectation that
in some way the rise OF property will
carry them through.
There is also strong tendency, and it
is avery healthy one, for residents of
cities to revert to country life, and these
families have not the farm knowledge
which others POSSESS who are in many
ways less Intelligent than these emf
grants from town. Besides all this.
there is growing unwilingness among
all men and women to buckle down to
the severe manual labor continued for
long hours and for life to which the I'M
educated farmer has for ages been &C
Customed.
These facts and tendencies have to be
considered, for they are part of our new
civilization, which, whether better or
worse than the old, is the one we live in
and which controls us. To farmers who
will think of other things besides their
farms, who will have certain comforts
denied to their forefathers, who will not
work as their ancestors worked, and who
will speculate, knowledge of how to so
apply their energy as to produce the
most profit with the least loss is abso-
lutely essential. And this is the object
of the higher education Of farmers

For the Florida Agriculturist.
The Outlook for Florida Peaches.

Until Florida has fully recovered from
the disastrous effects OF the last cold
spells it is natural for us to refer to them
in various ways At the time of course
we felt almost overwhelmed by the
widespread disaster, but now at this
date when we can look upon the matter
with a philosophical eye we can see that,
after all, the experience that seemed
almost too hard to bear has opened up
new possibilities for our state in lines
that would have been considered impos-
Isl BILE only few years ago.
Character is strong or weak according
to the trials through which it has passed,
mot only individual character but the
character of state or nation. Trials are
always beneficial to those who have
strength to bear them and while others
extent, our state never could recover
her old time prosperity. The writer has
never for one moment believed that the
state did not have recuperative powers
strong enough TO recover and as she
raises out of the depths of her calamity
she willbring up with her new sources Of
wealth and be greater state than ever
before.
Previous to the calamity South Florida
peaches were not considered as source
of profit with perhaps the exception of
ohnu il ho vii nj Of
st. Cloud. Most pee pie had a few trees
for home supply but the commercial
value of the peach was practically I'M
known, but a lively interest is now being
I'M anifested in that direction. | have
been in correspondence with some OF the
practical fruit growers in South Florida
and nearly all seem enthusiastic over the
matter.
Peach trees planted in almost any
section of the state bear paying crop
the second year, hence, those persons
who were far sighted enough to plant
peach trees when they saw their orange
trees swept away have gathered profit
able crop from their trees this summer.
Zone of my correspondents near Narcoos-
see says, considering the size and age
of my trees, the crop IS enormous
This correspondent is of the opinion
that high pine land is preferable to
drained muck land. He believes peach
growing ore of the very best industries
an SOuth Florida.
The recent organization Of the Peach
Growers Union at Lady Lake is another
indication of which way the drift OF
fruit growers interests are turning.
The Disston Company at st. Cloud has
had more experience with peaches, per-
haps, than anyone else In South Florida
and they have certainly made success
of the business. During the past three
years / have sold to them over 1900
trees and they have placed an order fol
this seasons planting for 5000 trees
This is certainly evidence enough thGt
those that have had the most experience
in the line are satisfied.
There is no danger Of the business
being overdone because we have ar
open market for our crop Our soil and
climate is unlike that Of other states and
if half of the available land In the en-
tire state were planted we could scarcely
over stock the market. Our crop is

A GEM FOR PRODUCERS,

Loss of earning power alone in this
country in the past three years is SUI
icient to have produced our unfortu-
nate business situation. II our labor
was well employed and employed at as
remunerative wages as in 1892, in a few
months every farmer in the land would
feel the glad change in the increased
demand for his products and in the
better prices which he would receive.
1t is not an increase in the volume OF
money which is the need Of the time.
but an increase in the volume of bust
ness. Not an increase CT coin, but an
increase of confidence. Not more coin
age. but n more active use Of the money
coined. Not open mints for the I'M
limited coinage of the silver OF the
world, but open mills for the full and
unrestricted labor of American work
ingmen.
The employment OF u mints for the
coinage of the silver of the world would
not bring the necessities and comforts
of life back to our people. This will
only come with the employment of the
masses, and such employment is Ger,

CAN NOT STAND THE LIGHT.

Boston Herald: The comparatively
novel questions which the nomination
of Bryan and the adoption by the de-
mocracy of a populist platform injected
into the canvass have been discussed
with remarkable fullness and ability.
1t is no eXaggeration to say that.
thanks to the work of the press and
the platform, the people Of the United
States occupy a much higher plane OF
education on the currency question
than they did six months ago.. 1t is an
impossible assumption that this eleva-
tion has resulted only in plungine
them more deeply into error. The
cause of free silver is not one that can
stand the ordeal of argument. 1t would
