GEORGE ELIOT.

NJ NJ. Mangasarian. in his len,

Morals, says:
George Eliot achieved true i'm

goodness. She not only won the al

was seen walking about London.
Tho only thing that is e~ternally
young is genius. If she were living
now, few would hesitate to pronounce
her the greatest woman writer Of

artist, an ethical teacher, in q sense
in which Sir Walter Scott or Dick

How Celery Pays.

The following is from Tampa CORE
spondence to the Citizen: "Whenever
one speaks to a Tampian relative to
trucking he is always referred to the
success ''the Neylans" have made of it.
If a prospective settler asks real estate
agent about the adaptability of the Sec
tion to trucking, he is driven out to see
the model truck farm of "the Neylans."
'"This family came to Tampa about
ten years ago, and purchased a forty
acre tract just beyond the corporate
limits. They did little trucking. but
to use their expression they "puttered
around" until about five years ago, when
they went at the work in a systematic
manner, which they have since brought
down almost to a science.
'"They have tried celery, and have
made and lost money on it, but the past
season found them with about eight and
a half acres, the last car of which was
shipped last Friday.
"No one has been able to learn how
much they have realized from their cell
cry crop, because they guard the amount
of their proceeds most cautiously.

The Orange Outlook.

M. S. MOreman, the travelling repre-
sentative of the Florida Fruit Exchange,
whose home is in Switzerland, in St.
Johns county, was IN the city yesterday,
and he was asked to give his ideas re-
garding the prospects for the orange
crop of the state, says the Citizen.
81 estimate the probable production
of oranges for the next season." he said,
cat 125, 900 boxes, as against less than
$4,000 for the season of 1896. Some
oranges will be produced in almost
every part of the orange-growing belt
of the state, though, of course, in small
quantities in most parts. From my
nelghborhood, [ think 200 boxes will be
shipped, and the same is true in certain
degrees of many other sections. Of
course the larger part of the crop will
come from Manatee, Hillsbcro, and Lee
counties, in the southern part Of the
state"
The recovery of the trees is not as
rapid. according to Mr.. Moreman, as
many have anticipated it would be, but
he stated that it was satisfactory.
About half of the acreage that was
dourishing before the disaster of fif-
teen months ago is now being recovered
by active efforts, while the rest is be-
ing neglected, or is but indifferently
cultivated. Mr.. Moreman has charge
of about $50 acres of orange property,
which, he said, is recovering quite salts
factorily, and will bear to some extent
in another year. The property is scat.

tered through different parts of the
state.
II am satisfied that twenty years will
be required to replace the bearing sur
face that was ia existence before the
Freezes" he said. 'Another thing that
is fact may surprise you, and it is
that those large growers who invested
in the southern counties of the state
after the cold weather are coming back
to their old places in Marion and other
counties, and are pushing the recovery
of their lost groves with every energy.
They are not abandoning their groves
that have been started south, but they
have concluded that they will take the
chances where they were located before,
and go into the business again at the
old stands. 1t is possible that the idea
that they can raise better orange in
the northern part of the belt than in the
southern counties may have something
to do with this movement. They will
certainly do everything in their power
to bring these groves back to their for
mer productiveness."

The Best Method of living Bees.

There are several methods of hiving
bees-all depending upon circumstances.
For the farmer with few colonies, who
let's the bees swarm when they get ready
and hang themselves up on the nearest
trees, probably a most convenient way
is to cut off the branch upon which the
swarm is hanging, carry it to the hive
and shake the bees down in front of it.
Don't shake them all eff at once, as most
of them will then rise up in the air, and
probably go back to the tree to cluster
again, or possible they may leave for
good. If little twig with small clus-
ter of bees can be cut off first, carried to
the hive, and shaken down at the en-
trance, most Of these bees will 60 inside.
Then let another small branch Of bees
be brought and shaken down. If no
twig can be cut off, dipper may be used
and dlpperful of bees dipped off and
poured down at the entrance of the
hive. When stream of bees is march
ing into the hive and setting up that
buzzing which shows the rest OF the
swarm that "home" is found, then the
whole swarm may be shaken in front Of
the hive, and they will rapidly follow
the leaders into the hive. When bees
are allowed to swarm and cluster in this
manner, there should be step-ladder,
also long ladder, and sharp pocket
knife, or, better still, some strong prun-
ing shears for cutting off the branches.
The objection to using saw is that it
jars the limbs so that the bees are likely
to fall. Yet with very large branches
the use Of the saw is necessary. When |
there is any objection to cutting off |
branches, the bees may be shaken into a
basket and covered with cloth TO keep |
them in until the hive is reached.
use long clothes basket, lined inside
with burlap, with cover of the same
material, having small block of wood
tackled to the two outside corners to keep
the wind from blowing the cover off.
When the basket is used, few bees
should be first dipped off in dipper and
put at the mouth of the hive, the same
as when the branch is cut off from the
tree.-W. z. III in Exchange.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-06-10

"To the Citizen correspondent they
admitted that they had sold more than
5000 worth from their eight and q
half acres, but they did not state how
much more. 1t is generally put that
they made a round $4,000 out of the
celery this season.
"Mr. Neylan stated that, taking all
his crops, good and bad, he had averaged
81, 900 an acre. 1t required much labor
and experience, representing time and
money to make success of it.
"As sample of their application to
their work, the following is given: On
October the first they planted an acre
in cabbage, carrots, spinach, beets, and
lettuce for the local market. The crop
from the entire acre was sold by Febru-
airy first, and netted 5000, and since that
time they have planted and sold an acre
of celery from thesame plat of ground"
