The Cucumber in Florida.

Experiment Station, we extract the fol-
lowing in reference to planting, cultivat-
ing, fertilizing and marketing the Gu
cumber.
This has become one Of the leading
vegetables for the South. 1t stands
shipping to distant markets remarkably
well. In that portion of the South where
there are frosts the seedlings should be
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 twelve hundred two
inch, paper flower pots; the same num-
Der of four-inch, and, if very early cukes
are wanted, the same number of six
inch. Use only the best seed, and plant
them four in each pot. These pots
should be filed to within half inch of
the top with good potting soil; it is
frost usually occurs, if it 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 twenty-five dollars.
There Is no doubt but that one could ob-
tain large discount on these pots, if
large quantity were to be bought at one
time. If these pots are not sunk INTO
the sand they will stand for two crops.
During their growth the plants should
be examined 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 easily
as follows: Hold a pot upside down,
press on the bottom, this will loosen the
soil, the condition of the roots can now
be examined without difficulty. AS soon
as the roots have taken up most of the
space in the pot shift the plant to
larger one.

to the field until two weeks after danger
from frost; if the springis cold and back
ward it is better to keep the plants I'M
der the protecting cloth. This 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
it requires skill and 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
minimum, and it's efficiency to max
imum.
PREPARATION OF THE FIELD.
The light sandy soil of Florida is we'll
adapted to this vegetable. 1t thrives
we'll 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 fer
tilizer in circle about three feet in di-
ameter. Work it well into the soil and
plant the hill in the center. If one de-
Sires to plant the Cukes in the field the

hoe and transferring it to the place that
has failed.
CULTIvATING.

CULTIvATING.
If there is no other crop on the same
land no attention need be giver to the
portion in the middle of the rows so long
as there are no weeds going to seed. AS
the vines grow out from the hills as q
centre more and more of the middle is
added, until the vines have finally taken
the whole field. If any vine or vines
take notion to run, the end should be
cut off; this will make them branch.
1t is well to see that the hills claim all
the ground as they grow out; if they
fail to do so, cut the tips of the runners
and new ends will form. 1t is not a
good plan to shift vine-that is, take it
up and shift it from one place to an
other. AT various points roots come
out, and these help the tap-root to sup
port the plant, and any interference
with these works damage to the plant
as a whole.
PICKING AND PACKING.
AS soon as the blossom end of the
young cuke has filled out plump it is
mature, and should be picked for ship
ping or for market Care must be taken
to remove any that have grown too
large, as the vines sets only few more
after cucumber has been allowed to
ripen. If they begin to show the want
of fertilizer. some quickly available
form can be given them, and the bear
ing season prolonged almost indefinitely.
The size that is wanted for pickles
varies with the market. Some require
large and other markets small ones.
In no case should a Gull be allowed to
remain on the vine; they often pay for
their picking in the local market, or
they can be given to hands and neigh
bors, but they are not worth the ship
ping room.
The marketing is done in crate, of
the same size as the pea and tomato
crate. Cukes are picked dry and taken
to the packing-house; here they are
sorted and Grated. They are laid evenly
and tightly in the crate, and finally
pressed down and nailed. The packing
must be so tight that the product will
not shake on the way. A field has to be
picked over three times week.
The amount that an acre will produce
is almost incredible. While two hun
dred to three hundred crates may be
considered a fair crop, we have reports
of six hundred, eight hundred, and even
nine hundred crates to the acre.
VARIETIES.
There are many varieties that are
commendable for forcing, but for field
crops none have yet exceeded the I'M
proved White Spine in popularity.
FERTILIZER FORMULA.
Available phosphoric acid. r per cent.
Potash. per cent
Nitrogen. ..............5 per cent.
Fifteen hundred to $500 pounds per
acre will be required on most land. If
the land is rich in organic matter, use
less or none of the nitrogen, according
to the amount present. A tablespoonful
of nitrate of soda sprinkled about the
hill as soon as the plants are up will
hurry them along out of danger from
insects. Too much heterogeneous matter
makes poor shippers and over-grown

POWELL KNOCKED OUT.
II Took Denny Gallagher Not. Quite
Five Rounds 10 Do II.


Five Rounds 10 Do II.
1t took Denny Gallagher not quite five
rounds to knock out Jack Powell at the
Pastime Athletic Club last night The
match was down to be for fifteen rounds,
but Denny called the turn before one
third of that number had been fought.
The bout was exceedingly hot and kept
tally with the temperature.
Gallagher weighed in at about l25
pounds, while Powell was twelve pounds
heavier Mike Carney and Larry Nc
Donald were in Gallagher's corner ana
"Kid' Norton and big "Scotty" seconded
Powell.
Both men rushed things from the start
and went at 1t like hammer and tongs.
Powell made "A good showing for the first
two rounds, but II was plainly seen that
he could not stand much punishment,
nor was he as scientific as Denny. In
the third round Denny rushed his OPP
ponent and when the gong sounded for
the fourth round Powell came up groggy.
Gallagher knocked him down with a
right-hand swing, and as Powell arose he
repeated the dose. Powell was as game
on his feet only 10 be fiOored again. He
was completely dazed by this time, and
Denny sent him to the floor the fourth
time just as time was called.
Powell pulled himself together in the
fifth, but he was unable to stand the ter-
rible onslaught of Gallagher, who knock
ed him down four times in quick sue
cession. At the fourth fail the match
was awarded to Gallagher. Powell is full
of sand, but he is not in Gallagher's class.
There were several preliminary bouts
between colOred scrappers. About JOG
people were present.
Mike Carney of California and "Kid''
Norton were matched last night, and ar
ticles will be signed to-day for a ten OF
fifteen round go to take place some time
in the next week or two.
Carney is a sparrer of no mean skin
and has won many victories in the ring.
He defeated Joe Uhlman In Montgomery,
Ala, last fall. Kid Norton has spared
here several times, and is one of the
cleVerest of boxers.
