ping to distant markets rem arkably well.
In that portion Of the South where there
are ffosts the seedlings should be started
in cold-frarne or hot-bed. This seems
like very remarkable advice to those who
have tried to transplant them, but it is
easy enough when you know how. For
every acre that IS to be planted procure
1900 two-ineh, paper flower pots; the
same number Of four-inch, and, If very
early cukes are wanted. the same num-
Der of six.inch. Use only the best seed,
and plant them In four-inch pots. These
pots should be filed to within half
inch Of the top with good potting soil;
tits planted six weeks earlier than the
last frost usually occurs, II 1t is intended
to use only the two smaller sized pots;
but about nine weeks If the three sizes
are to be used. The cost Of the pots in
the former case will be less than nine
dollars: in the latter about $25. There
Is no doubt but that one could obtain
large discount on these pots, if large
quantity were to be bought at one time.
If thes pots are not sunk into the sand
they will stand for two crops. During
their growth the plants should be ex-
amined frequently to see that they do
not become pot.bound. They should be
shifted to larger pot as soon as the soil
is permeated by the roots. This may be
tested by removing the soil from one Of
the pots which may be done as easily as
follows: Hold pot upside down, press
on the bottom, this will loosen the soil,
the condition OF the roots can now be ex-
amined without difficulty. AS soon as
the roots have taken up most of the
space In the pot shift the plant to lar
ger one.
The plants should not be transferred
to the field until two weeks after danger
from frost; if the spring is cold and
backward it is better to keep the plants
under the protecting cloth. The method
seems to be rather expensive, but it
avoids all danger from frosts, and if the
six-inch pots are used the plants will be
too far advanced to be hurt by the Gu
cumber aphis. Much useless working
of land Is also avoided. On the other
hand 1t requires an experience to pre-
pare the potting soil properly, also care
in handling the plant bed. The amount
OF work will be found to be less than
when they are planted directly in the
field. The amount of seed is reduced
to q minimum, and its efficiency to a
maximum.
PREPARATION OF THE FIELD.
The light sandy soil of Florida is well
adapted to this vegetable. 1t thrives
well in all parts Of the State. Any kind
of decayed vegetable matter will make
good manure. Lay the field off in
checks six by six feet, in these spread
the fertilizer in a circle about three
feet in diameter. Work it will into the
soil and plant the hill in the centre. If.
one desires to plant the cukes in the
field the seed is dropped in the centre of
the fertilized spot; in this case
drop about dozen seed in hill q
foot across; the insects and other
enemies will destroy so many that
yon will not have to thin out many hills.

HE FORGOT HIS BRIDES NAME.

"Say, please hnld on there. my
friend. Wait till I 20 home aud get
her last name. I'll be back before
long"
This was the funny explanation
made by a mar in the Probate Court
Thursday after he Lad entered his own
name and theegiven name Of his pros
rec,ive wife on the license book.
Clerk Schwab, who was dispensing
the young mans wants, looked up
startled. 1t was Of the most anu
sing things he had run across in his
diversified career behind the counter.
After vainly trying to suggest the
missing name he agreed there was
nothing left but 60 home after it.
The Young man was Eugene
Murphy. He dictated and spelled our
the name Of his intended. 1t WAS
A-u-g-u 8 a ---. But there it
suddenly stopped. Murphy blushed,
looked siightly-just sllghtly-d.s-
turbed, turned all sorts OF colors in a
minute aud finally thought he'd give
it ~. That is precisely what Clerk
Schwab did. After tarrying with his
pen IN hand for Il few minutes he told
the young nan to come back after lie
knew whom he was going to marry.
Meanwhile an Interrogation point
was left as a Substitute for the tr0u-
blesome appendage. Better make it

whole people.
He said that the teaching Of agriculture
in public schools was the next step vi me
nav education. 1t was important to get
before the people the scientiric results OF
the work in colleges and stations.
Instead of the bulletins now ISSUED, ne
proposed that books he published which
,you,d command more attention than tulle-
tinseyerreceive. The bulletins sweretreated
by farmers generally as of less Importance
than he NJ newspapers.
He proposed a resolution REQUESTING the
Secretary OF Agriculture to consider tie
advisability of having edited a series oi
books embodying the latest advances in
agricult ture and then publishing them at
actual cost.
A motion was m ade by DR.. Smart that
the paper be referred to ccmmitee or
three, to report when they choose. IL was
urged, however that the matter should De
taken TO Congress.
Upon point of order, the paper was re-
ferred TO the ex ecutive committee.
Director A. c. True, OF the local station.
presented a report upon books Of use in the
study Of agriculture, which he did not
read.

President Sylvester leading in the attack
upon the present title.
The proposition Of ]. X. Patterson, of
Kentucky, to change the name of the body

G. 0. P. UNITY In MARYLAND
Wellington Will Support Gary for z
Cabinet Portfolio.
The Baltimore Man wouldn't Mind
Being Postmaster General or the
Secretary of the Interior.

The breach in the Republican party in
Maryland, caused by the old-tiinc dissen-
sion between Senator-clect Wellington and
James a. Gary, has been healed by the Re
pubIiCan victory, and the party is solid
ana without any faCtional difference.
1t is no little surprise to the politicians
that Senator-eleCt George l.. Wellington
yesterday stated TO newspaper repre-
sentative that II s1ail favor the appoint
ment of Mr.. James \. Gary to place
in President McKiVleys Cabinet
Considering that these two leaders have
beer at odds for many years, the news of
Senator-elect Wellingtons position is very
encouraging TO the party in Maryland.
Heretofore they have opposed each other
in everything. They wed as to the leader
ship OF the Mckinley campaign, and Mr..
Gary was Mr.. Wellington's bitter opponent
when the latter was fighting for the Scna-
torship.
1T is generally agreed by Republicans"
said Mr.. Wellington, that Mr.. Gary should
be either Postmaster General or Secretary
OF the Interior. and l shall heartily give
him my support
1t was suggested to the Senator elect that t
his name had been prominently mentioned
for q Cabinet office, but he said: mo; /
prefer to remain in the Senate. l am con-
tent where l am"
Mr.. Gary managed the Mckinle y campaign
in Maryland, and is considered as an eX-
cellent man for the position mentioned.
He is wealthy and has the undivided in
dorscment OF the State party.
1t is conceded that something should be
given him for his usefulness in turning
Maryland from pronounced Democratic
State into solid Republican stronghold.
1t is true he mi ght be slated for a Senator
ship to succeed German. but there will
be many applicants for this office from the
Eastern Shore, which was turned down at
the last legislature in favor of Mr.. Vel
lington. Even the Senatorship will be
contingent upon a. Republican victory next
fall in the state. and it is contended that
Mr.. Gary should not have to wait till then,
but be given a Cabinet office Tor his SER
vices.
