Webber's Hybrids.

4 Washington correspondent of the
Times Union & Citizen writes:
Prof. II. j. Weber, the originator Of
the hardy hybrid orange, is attending
the LIBERALIZATION conference of the
Royal Horticultural Society of Eng
land. now in session in London. His
cO-WOrker, Mr.. w. II. SWingle, will
also be there Only three other Amer

been invited to attend.
Relative to Mr. Webber's hardy n.y.
brid, it is amusing to see the capers
cut 10y some of the California papers,
Their comments on this enterprise of
the department have been more caus-
tic and bitter than the "unciviliZed''
trifoliate pulp itself; sour grapes, as
it were, not being Gin it, with their
mood The reason is not hard to find.
If the department had chosen to con-
duct the hybridization experiments in
California instead of Florida, it would
have been all right. Such small jeal-
ousies are not becoming to the press
of any section; least of all, to a State
of CALIFORNIA; size and reputation.
The Agricultural Department, like the
sun. "shines for ALL" and it's clear
sighted officials may be depended up
on to do the right thing in the right
place.
The department has undergone an
experiment in recording the growth of
plants by Photographic means, which
will doubtless prove very interesting
and instructive. One of the moving
picture machines, such as reproduces
scenes of running trains, marching
regiments, etc, has been set UP in
greenhouse belonging to the division
of vegetable pa thology, and is focused
on a small growing tree. A picture is
made every hour, and at night an cleo
trio light is thrown into circuit as the

time 1t first appears above the ground.
1T will be interesting to see the little

it's leaves, bud and burst into bloom
and fruit within two or three minutes.
The magicians of the East never I'M
agined anything more wonderful, but
this will be a matter of practical sci

photographs in watching the progress
of plant diseases, blights, insec; para

near future, to send to the agricultural

DO you know the farmers do not
half appreciate the cOWpea as a for
age, feed and fertilizing crop. There
is nothing they can possibly grow on
the farm with so little labor, that be-
gins to equal it, and to give it half a
chance you are almost certain of
good, average crop. There is but one
other legume that SurpaSSeS it, and
that is the Florida velvet bean. But
for speedy growth and early maturity
of seed the cOWpea stands at the head
1t is a wonderful nitrogen gatherer,
and is, therefore, exceedingly yalua-
ble both as a green feed, dry forage,
and renOvatOr of the soil. An average
crop will yield in green forage twelve
to twenty thousand pounds to the
acre, and of dry peas, twenty to thir-
ty bushels. To use this mass of leaf
and vine for pasture, or to cut and
cure it for dry feed or to use for silO,
must necessarily be of great value.
Every living thing on the farm will
eat the green or cured feed, or dry
peas, as greedily as they would corn,
oats. or hay. Hogs do specially we'll

field will fatten perfectly.
You can grow crop successfully
with but little trouble or labor. First
pillow and fit your ground nicely, after
which seed with common wheat drill.
When plants are up four OF five inches
run over field with weighted harrow,
paying no attention to rows, thus free
ing your ground of grass and weeds.
Do not fear this rough usage will in
jure your plants. This one dressing
will he all your crop will need. Should
you want to follow crop of corn with
extra early cowpeas, you can do so by
sowing broadcast and cover seed by
cultivating corn, or can drop seed in
drill row and cover with cultivator or
shovel pillow.
There are two or three of the extra
early varieties that are well adapted
to the central and northern States. any
one of which will mature their seed in
sixty days from date of planting.
When grasses, corn and other forage
crops so often fail, the extra early
cowpea is most valuable substitute.

Points on Celery Growing.

writing to the Farmer and Fruit
Grower, says:
At your request 1 will give you
briefly the first steps of my method OF
growing celery AS you are doubtless
aware, the greatest difficulty in this
matte is to get the seed Ito sprout and
to save the young and tender plants
through the alternate heating rains
and Strong sunshine of the rainy sea
son. To Overcome this formidable OBJ
Stacle some growers have proposed
the plan of sowing the seed as early
as April in order to secure cooler
weather, and then keep the plants in
a SLOW growth along until the time
comes for TRANSFORMING into the field
in the fall.
l SOW my seed, usually the Boston
Market variety, about August 5, but
| would advise the novice to make his
first sowing in July, so that he may
have sufficient thine to secure a stock
of plants if MS first sowing results in
failure. Sow in a very rich, deep, me-
low bed framed in with boards for
the reception of sash ~" with winter
hOtbed. Scatter the seed evenly el
the surface, previously raking bhis
very smooth and mellow, but not pack
ed. Do not cover it with earth at all;
leave it all on the surface. Wet it With
pot, then spread over it gunny sacks
which are also wetted after being
spread. Then put the sash on, which
create a heat inside that fairly makes
the ground steam. IF one has no sash
a sheet of cheeseclOth may he used OF
the top may be Simply covered with
Stats, spaced so as to make a half
shade lift up the sacks every day
and see if the seed is sprouting. Spray
the sacks morning and evening, or as
often as they become dryish, to keep
the ground moist directly underneath
lit usually takes weeks to make eel
cry seed sprout, but by this method
one can in three days see the seed
beginning to germinate. AS soon as
the little white tips of the germs APP
pear the gunny sacks must be lifted
off and spread over the sash or the
Stats to make it lark inside, still look
ing at and spraying the plants once or
twice a day. After day or two raise
the sash a few inches on the upper
side The plants will soon begin to
grow, leaning toward this small allow
ance of light, and THE sash must be
raised higher and higher a little all
round
As the next step toward hardening
the plants, take the sacks off the sash
entirely, replacing them with tWo-lnch
Stats laid with two inch spaces be
tween. but still keeping the sash on,
raised little all round.
The next step, remove the Stats;
lastly. the sash. From the time the
seed sprouts until everything is taken
off, exposing the plants to the full
light of the sun all day, it will be a
matter of two weeks. 1t may be nee
essary ito put the Stats on about ten
O'Clock and remove them about 4, Il

No form Of athletic exercise de-
mands such perfect physical condl-
ton as prize fighting. Every mus
Gle in the body must be fully de-
veloped and supple, and the heart,
lungs and stomach must act to per-
lection.
Whether we endorse prize fight
ing or not, it is nevertheless inter-
esting to know the manner by
which men arrive at such physical
perfection.
James Jeffries, the present cham
pion heavyweight of the world,
and his gallant opponent, Tom
Sharkey, in the greatest pugillstlc
encounter that has ever taken
place, both pursued much the same
course of training and the first and
most important part of this train
ing was to get the stomach in con-
dition, and to keep the digestion abb
solutely perfect, so that every mus
Gle and nerve would be at its high
est capabilities.
This was not done by secret
patent medicine, but both of these
great pugilists used well known
natural digestive tablet. sold by
druggists under name of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets and composed OF
the digestive ferments which every
stomach requires for healthy diges-
ton.
Champion Jeffries says: "Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets prevent acidity,
strengthen the stomach and insure
perfect digestion. They keep a
man in fine physical condition"
Signed, James J. Jeffrie5, champion
of the world.
The gallant fighter, Sharkey,
says: "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
remove all discomfort after eating.
They rest the stomach and restore
it to healthful condition. /
heartily recommend them Sign
ed, Thos. j. Sharkey.
The advantage of the daily use
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is
that they keep people well and
ward off sickness and are equally
valuable to well persons as to the
dyspeptics. Another advantage is
that these tablets contain no ca
thartics, or poisons of any charac-
ter, but simply digestive ferments
which are found in every healthy
stomach, and when digestion is i'm
perfect it is because the stomach
lacks some of these elements and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets supply
it.
They are no cheap cathartic, but
perfectly safe and efficient diges-
tive and the demand for them is
greater than the sale of all other
so-called dyspepsia cures combined.
No remedy could possibly reach
such place in public esteem ex-
cept as the result of positive merit.
Full sized packages are sold by
all druggists at so cents and the
best habit you can possibly form
is to take a Stuart Tablet after each
meal. They make weak stomachs
strong and keep strong stomachs
vigorous.
