The above yield, twenty-five tons, is
not above what can be- expected;
fact, with fair seasons and good land,
a yield of thirty or more toms can be
expected.
This estimate is made for good pine

heavy mari hammock or saw grass
we'll drained, larger yields can be ex-
pected for the same outlay.
This cane made into syrup should

fair price would be 40 cents per gal
lon, or $500 The cost of converting in
to syrup should not exceed 10 cents

fact of the bed with the back of a
shovel and spade. During all days
when sun shines bright, the cloth must
be rolled down. At night time and ON
cloudy days the cloth may be rolled
back. When the plants begin to ap-
pear they should be gradually harden
ed to the sun. The bed must be moist
at all times until the seed has germi-
mated. If the seed is allowed to be-
come dry after it has once been wet
the chances are that it will never
grow. AS the plants grow they should
be ShOrn once or twice to induce
stocky growth. 1t will also improve
the plant to transplant them into an
other frame or fiat boxes; plants thus
treated will suffer less when placed
in the open ground. The time to SOW
seed in this latitude is from about
March 18th to April 18th. All writer's
on celery culture in the south will tell
you to SOW the seed in June and July
on account of the tendency of plants
to run to seed if sown earlier. In my

Growing Celery Plants.

The first step towards success in eel
cry culture is to obtain good plants.
The method of growing, then, is very
simple, owing to conditions which
have already referred to. The best
plan is to use a cold frame covered
with common cotton cloth. The bed
should be made of rich, mellow soil,
being finished down by raking SO as to
clear it from stones and clods. Sow
the seed in drills four inches apart
about half an ounce of seed being SUI
ficient for about seventy-five rows.
The seed is sown by hand. After the
sowing, care being taken to firm the
seed down with the edge of an inch
board. That being done draw the back
of a rack lengthwise over the rows,
which covers the seed about the depth
of half an inch. After this pat the sur

of,nuts. In land containing much clay
the nuts do not develop fully and are
not so easily harvested. Rocky soil Or
hardpan sub-surface will not produce
satisfactory crops, because of impedi-
ment in the growth of the long tap
roots. Clean cultivation is necessary,
but the soil should not be stirred with
in foot of the plant.
A good crop of nuts can be harvested
late as July, but the best yields are OBJ
tanned by planting in April or May.
The ground should be plowed, harrow,
ed and leveled before planting. Fur
row out about 80 inches apart and
plant the shelled nuts, two i'm a hill,
about IA inches apart in the row. Gov
err two inches or more. AS soon as all
the plants are visible give them a good
cultivation. After this, as they begin
to blossom, pillow in the center and
throw the soil each way. Irrigate very
sparingly.
When the leaves begin to drop in
the fall and the stalks are drying, the
nuts are ready for harvest. Pull the
vines and throw two or three rows to-
gether to dry. All the nuts will cling
to the vines if you have sandy land
and do not irrigate too late. After the
vines and nuts have had two or three
days in the sun load into the hay
rack with a pitchfork, haul to the barn
and stack in shelter, or cover with hay
or other substance. The nuts are pick
ed by hand when no other work is
pressing, and if a polish ON the shells
is desired, the nuts are run through a
tanning mill. The vines make excel
lent feed for mich cows.-American

Fine Florida Starch.

ID. r. Pilsbry who is connected with
the cassava factory at DeLand, was
in the city yesterday and exhibited a
number of specimens of starch manu-
featured from cassava, sweet potatoes,
arrowroot and cOontie (zamia integri-
fOlia). The cassava starch was won
derfully fine, an almost impalpable
powder, as soft as velvet to the touch
and as white as snow. The specimens
made from the coontie, or starch plant,
which grows wild in Dade county, was
almost as fine, but shade darker,
though in the absence of the cassava
specimen, it would be pronounced a
spotless white. The sweet potato and
arrowroot samples were excellent for
ordinary household use but had not
received the exquisite finish of the
others, which is so necessary for COM
mercial purposes.
Mr.. Pilsbry says that carload of
the cassava starch was forwarded to

Stock Raising for the South.

In partially draining a treeless glade
of some 200 acres l was surprised to
find along the bitches, the coarse, saw
grass giving place to something SINH
lar to prairie grass, and which has a
market value, l am told, of SIS a ton
in the Florida markets. AS pasture
grass it is ravenously devOured by
stock, which thrive on it for ten
months in the year, and it is estimated
that a single acre will give ample sus-
tenance for one animal. These tree
less glades, prairies, hammocks or
whatever they may properly be called
are numerous in Florida and can be
ing at cost of from So to $40 an acre,
and are made ready for the industry
by planting small patches of st. Lucie,
Johnson, Bermuda and other grasses
valuable for pasturage or fodder, or
the slower, natural occupation, as at
first described and which will supplant
the swamp saw grass.
These glades are surrounded by high
pine lands, adapted to the cow pea,
velvet bean, Florida clover, sweet po-
tatoes, chufas, peanuts, artichokes,
cassava and various vegetables and
fruits adapted to the use Of man and
beast. Nearly all the above products
extract nitrogen from the atmosphere
and are balanced rations for cattle,
hogs and poultry. The stock, when fat
tened, could be driven to market on
foot, without suffering the extortion OF
local transportation of southern rail-
way companies. The uplands contigu-
Gus to the glades are healthy locations,
making desirable dwelling places for
the promoters of the enterprise. Con-
Quoted on large scale, with artificial
ice manufactures, and the appurte>
nances necessary, a modern cream ry

ucts would make food for hogs and
poultry.
These stock or dairy farms, or both
combined, could be equipped at small
expense by the use of native cows,
which can be bought for $40 to $40 a
head, bred to most approved males for
beef or dairy, and their progeny again
bred to pure blood males, and in a
short time beef produced that would
compare we'll with Chicago beef that
retails in our markets for Is to Is
cents per pound. There is seldom day
i'm the 365 that the stock require shell
ter, and but two months or less that
they would require to be fed. Cotton
seed hulls would finish off the beef
ready for market.
1T seems to me that here is an indus
try in which there is no danger from
glutted market. 1t is not subject to
extortions of transportation compa-
MES, is not affected by billiards,
frosts, oppressive stock laws, or in
danger from trusts or combinations.
The reclaimed glades could have a
gate at the outlet canal by which slack
water irrigation could any time irrl-
gate the entire glade or only as much
as needed. To make it a success it
would require competent stock men
who would wisely breed and care for
the health and growth of the stock,
and good dairy men if that was feat
ure of the industry. Cheap labor is
abundant for the unskilled work. The
freezes of the past four years are NOV

frosts in winter and drouths in sum-

cal transportation eXtortOn that only
questions how much the shipper will
stand, is practically becoming a lot
terry. General farming in Florida has
to contend more or less with the above
obstacles.
But an industry outlined above, with
the enormous growth of pasturage and
forage from the reclaimed glades, is
free from all those obstacles, and once
ablished, with good breeds of stock,
I believe animal farming ON the pine
lands of Florida, with the possible
great production of the cowpea, velvet
bean, Florida clover and the Mexican
June corn, as forage and grain crops,
though not possessing the advantages
of the glade, I believe would become
general where the northern blizzards
make the orange industry too hazard

Cost of Cane Culture.

Noting your inquiry as to the COM
parative cost Of growing cane and
manufac turing sugar in Florida and
in Cuba, can only speak for Florida
and Louisiana. I am credibly inform
ed that the price of labor here and in
Cuba is very much the same, and the
supply about equal, namely: Good ag-
ricultural labor, able-bodied men, ST.
per day; women and boys so to rs
cents per day. At present good labor
can be secured in South Florida for Is
cents for regular yearly hands. This
includes a cabin or room, but no sup
plies.
The field cost of crop of cane per
acre will be about as follows, assum-
ing the land cleared and ready for the
