Sugar Beets.-It is useless to waste
time in Florida and in fact all of the
Southern States in attempting to
grow the sugar beet with the expecta
ton of making it a profitable croI
for the production of sugar. If you
want sugar stick to sugar cane.
Cucumbers- Should be planted AKA
feet. The White Spine varieties are
the ones most generally grown, al
though a few sections seem to prefer
the Improved Long Green. Can be
used in Florida both as a fall and
spring crop. Fall crop should be
planted in September, the spring crop
as early as danger from frost is past.
The English forcing or house GU
cumbers cannot be grown out of
doors. Tailby's Hybrid or New Or
leans Market cucumber is the nearest
variety in appearance in the English
forcing that can be grown in the open.
Cabbage.-It is difficult to say with

time over. Cow peas are way ahead
of it.
Firming the Soil.-Firming the soil
is especially necessary in our light
sandy or clay soils of the south These
soils are very porous and dry out to
the depth of the newly planted seed
before termination can take place.
Firming the soil stops most of the
pores and the soil keeps moist long
enough for the plant to become estab-
ilshed. Firming the soil insures both
quicker and better germination.-

peculiar climate. OF course, as is
well known, varieties of the common
field pea are usually well adapted to
our conditions, but, in many locali-
ties, even this plant has not done as
well as was hoped for. There are GER
tain sections in which it does not
flourish and where other legumes
have given better results. Two, at
least, are deserving of mention in this
connection, and brief reference will
now be made to them.-Bulletin No.

Orange Trees Banked with Sand.


An acquaintance of the writer put
out sixteen acres of young grove, one
and two-year-old buds, during the
months of February and March, 1894,
and they put on an exceptionally fine
growth during the warm wealth
err of November and December. Fear
ing that an ordinary frost would do
damage, he banked them about three
feet with sand about the middle of
December, and removing the sand
from them about the first of April, he
found that they were not injured one
half inch below where they were
banked. AS soon as exposed to the
air they began vigorous growth.
He did not lose tree, and none of
them seemed stunted or injured in
the least. Some of them made as
much as five feet of growth within
three months. One of his neighbors
banked several eight and ten-year-old
buds, and came out in good condition.
One of the growers in the settle
ment tried wrapping the stocks with
moss and paper, but it did no good
whatever, the trees Jared as badly as
those that had no protection.
Banking with sand is a cheap and
safe plan-safe when properly carried
Out-for saving the trees. The cost of
banking these smallest trees above
mentioned was One-half cent per tree
Qabor being counted at 81 per day.,
and for large trees it would not eX-
ceed one cent per tree. Removing the
sand in the spring is equivalent to a
good hoeing. 1t is necessary to be
careful not to have any old roots or
pieces of wood burned near the tree.
as these would be likely to attract
termites or wood lice, which might
gnaw the bark off the living trees af-
ter having used up the supply of dead
wood convenient to hand.
One thing that was a surprise in
this case was the fact that the fol-
iage, which was entirely covered with
sand, was as fresh when the banks
were taken down as it was the day it
was covered-the leaves not even
bleached or wilted.-Ex.

LIQUID Manure.

In China and Holland, liquid ma.
nuring for the most valuable crops is
extensively practiced. AS the urine of
all animals is much richer than the
containing thirty-one pounds of
nitrogen to the ton, whereas the solid
excreta only contains nine pounds), it
has a relatively higher agricultural
value, and should be saved with care
proportional to it's efficacy. The
nitrogen being in a more available
form, if applied to crops in the liquid
state, it will be more valuable in con-
sequence of it's solubility When
plants have reached the stage of rapid
and steady growth, approaching ma
turity, their vital energy and the alb
sorptive power of their roots will en-
able them to profit wonderfully from
an application of liquid manure, for
which reason the caulifower and the
cabbage are treated to food in this
form just before the former is ex-
pected to "curd," and the latter to
head.
When seeding plants have to be
watered at the time of transplanting
weak liquid manure would help
them to start better than pure water.
Urine is too 'strong'' to be allowed
t0 in II
with roots, and should first be allow
ed to ferment, and then be diluted
with five or six parts water. In it's
fresh state it contains no ammonia,
this being formed from urea after
putrefaction has commenced.
Solid manure may be stepped in wa
ter until the latter has assumed a
dark, clear color, when the liquor
may be used, or Peruvian guano, at
the rate of quarter pound, Or any of
the ammonia salts, at the rate of two
ounces dissolved in gallon of water,
may be substituted. Liquid manure
should be applied just before a rain;
dC dny fdte, Cne SOIL snOuld De moist,
as there is then no danger of the
liquid passing through the soil and
beyond the reach of the roots. One
gallon Of water is capable of absorb
ing 1,15O gallons of gaseous ammonia.
Owing to it's inconvenience, truck
farmers rarely use liquid manure

supply are:
CD The ease with which certain
leguminous crops thrive upon them
because of their ability, indirectly, to
attract nitrogen from the air, whilst
other green crops, not being able thus
to appropriate nitrogen, and which
are, therefore, dependent chiefly on
humus for their needed supply of this
element, fail to make a satisfactory
growth.
(2) The rapidity with which ,ney
part with water after rains and irri-
cation. Sufficient stores of humus
much more effectually, and, as a re-
suit, crops growing upon them would
be less likely to suffer from drouth.
Our present knowledge of the value
of humus as a soil renOvatOr and the
experience OF numerous scientific in
vestigatorS, who have devoted much
study to the subject, warrant the as
sertion that thin, sandy soils, contain
ing an insufficient supply of decom-
posing organic matter, can be greatly
improved by supplying to them sufi-
cient quantities of this substance
How best to do this, under different
circumstances, is question that
every farmer must settle for himself.
One admirable source of supply of
this humus to the soil is we'll rotted
stable manure, but, unfortunately, it
is seldom the case that this substance
is present in sufficient quantities on a
farm to supply all demands. Where
it occurs in sufficient quantities to do
this, there is no better source, either
of humus or phosphoric acid, potash
and nitrogen. But because Of the in
sufficiency of it, it nearly always be-
comes necessary for the farmer to re-
sort to other means for supplying the
needed amount of humus, and it is
now known that green manuring' is
not only the most economical, but the
most effectual method, as well, for ac-
compIshing this result. By green
manuring" is meant planting certain
crops upon a soil and subsequently
blowing them under for the purpose
of improving both it's chemical and
mechanical condition. Any vegetable
growth, even green, or dry stubble,
is valuable for this purpose, but
accurate experiments have demon
strated that the legumes Oceans, peas,
clover, vetches, lupines, etc., are
greatly to be preferred for supplying
soils with the needed humus, as we'll
as nitrogen, for it has been already
stated that this family of plants have
the ability to utilize atmospheric nj
trogen during growth and furnish it
to the soil when they die and decay.
They are enabled thus to employ mi
trogen through the agency Of certain
bacteria that live and die in the
nodules that occur on the roots of
this family of plants. These bacteria
appropriate the free atmospheric
nitrogen, and it is eventually trans
formed into plant food. Not only do
these vegetable fertilizers, and stable
manure as well, add new elements of
fertility to the soil, but they change

Inc SEED mas much to dO with 1t. Eu-
ropean grown cabbage seed, general
ly known as cheap seed) does not
head uniformity in the South unless
the season Us entirely favorable, often
making deformed heads or else throw
ing up seed stalks instead of heading
In Florida more or less cabbage is in
jured each year by frost or freezing
just as the head begins to form or
as we say sis in bud" This injury
does not show at the time unless the
cold is severe enough to kill the plant
outright it uoes not show until de-
formed heads appear Or the plant re-
fuses to head. Then the scotsman
gets "cussed" for something that he
has nothing to do with.
The best way to avert such expert
ence is first to get American grown
cabbage seed, second, plant the hardi-
est varieties and do not plant on
ground subject to severe frosts. The
fiat varieties seem to have the prefer
ence among truckers, Sure Crop for
early; Surehead and Succession for
general crops. The greatest objection
to these latter varieties is that during
warm moist season they are apt to
grow too large for best market pric>
es. The cabbage crop cannot be ferti-
LIKED too heavily.
Peas.-Peas for shipping are plant
ed in Florida in November and Decem>
her, The dwarf varieties (extra early)
are the ones generally grown and are
sown in drills at the rate Of 1R bush
els per acre. These extra earlies need
no bushing. Such varieties as Bliss
Ever Bearing and Home Delight are
best planted in double rows six to
eight inches apart. In this way the
plants in the two rows can lean
against each other and be self sup
porting. These latter varieties are
usually grown only for home use or
nearby market. They bear ten times
as many peas as the extra earlies. Do
not fertilize peas with fresh stable
manure. It makes rank growth of
vine and few or no peas. There is
nothing better for peas than well rot
ted manure. Round peas germina te
more freely than the wrinkled varie-
ties but are not of as good a quality
with the exception of the Alaska. The
Mcneil pea locally known in many
parts Of Florida is simply an accli-
mated form of Canada field pea. We
have never thought enough of it to
catalogue it.
Splitting of Onions. Onions grown
from seed seldom split unless there is
AN excess of moisture in the soil and
an excess of nitrogen in soil or fertili-
zer. It is quite common to have on
ions, grown from sets, split even when
all conditions are right for perfect
maturity.
There is no more genuine Bermuda
onion seed obtainable this season. The
crop was very short, and hundreds
who delayed ordering seed until la+e
were disappointed. Look out for
northern seed houses selling "Bermu-

The Worst That Ever Occurred In the

New CASTLE, Col, Sept. l0.-The
worst wreck in the history of the state
OF Colorado occurred at 1928 yesterday

impossible to secure more than an esti-
mate of loss of life, and not even those
known to be dead have been identified.
Many Of the unfortunates never will
be known, and it is possible that the
number killed will always be in doubt.
From the best information obtainable
now fully 30 persons are believed to
have persisted, while 1856 were takon

The wreck was caused by n head-end

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 12.-Shortly be-
fore noon to-day the board of health
officially declared six OF the suspicious
cases of fever on st. Claude street TO be
yellow fever. A couple OF hours sub
scquonuy the board announced another
pronounced case of yellow fever ut
Mira and Esplnnade streets, in the
lower part OF the city, but u mile or
more from the infected square. The
announcement of the first six cases of
yellow fever was not unexpected, al
though it was hoped from the delay
ON the part OF the experts. that these
eases were simply of bilious malaria.
No general alarm has resulted here,
although the news rapidly spread
through the city. The authorities do
not believe that the situation is ma
terially worse than il was four or five
days ago, and they are still confident
of their ability, with modern sanitary
appliances, TO successfully quarantine
the infected district.

experts, declaring the ST. Claude-street
