Crops and Products.

Vegetable Shipments Shipments of
melons, tomatoes and other vegetables
have been lively in Barlow for some
weeks. Messrs. Lyle Il Co., who are
amongst our largest shippers report
that the shipments have been three
times as large as for many years past
from this station, and that the prices
have been very satisfactory, running
perhaps One-third higher than at any
previous year during the same month.
1t has been a splendid season and
while other sections south have been
through shipping for some time our
growers have been able to get their
stuff into market while the demand
was good and have thus realized good
prices.
We hope to publish a detailed state

will do equally as well il rich enough
in the different fertilizing elements.
After thoroughly plowing and mel
lowing the soil, bitches can be plowed
or spaded out four or four and a half
feet apart. Depth of the ditch should
depend on the wetness Of the land.
Into these bitches place the we'll rot
ted stable manure and cotton seed
meal, if that is to be used, and also
part of the commercial fertilizer.
The bitches can then be nearly filled
with earth, which latter should be we'll
mixed with fertilizer
After the rows have been we'll lev
elled and made mellow, the plants may
be set. In doing this care must be
taken to keep the bud above the level
of the ground
Many celery as we'll as other plants
die because they are planted so deep
that the bud is smOthered. Place the
plants from six to eight inches apart
Dipping the roots into a thin mixture
of clay and water will often aid them
in taking root when the ground is
dry. Plenty Of water is very helpful
When the plants have grown to con-
siderable size the bleaching process
should be begun. This is accomplish
ed by holding the leaves Of a single
stalk in an upright position with one
hand and drawing the dirt up with the
other and packing it firmly. This
should be repeated from time to time
as the plant grows until it attains the
required size, when after a few days
standing it will be found ready for
market. The plants should never have
earth drawn up to them when they
are wet.
With a little care fine celery can be
raised Twenty thousand plants can
be grown to the acre, and, at the aver
age market price you can figure it out
and see what the income will be.

One Mans Opinion.

y Lake county farmer writing in the
Eustis Lake Region, has the following
to say in reference to the future of
Florida:
For some time | have noticed the dis
content among the farmers and or
ange growers Of Lake county, and by
degrees it has spread itself all oyer,
until our people have become dissatis-
fed with the present condition OF
things and are moving away, many
going to Cuba.
1t is with regret that | see our pe0-
pie depart for new fields of labor
leaving good homes and friends and
seeking wealth in a new country and
a new climate. Why is it that we are
so discouraged as to desert our homes
and leave what we have worked hard
for, to encounter unknown dangers
and trials i'll another land. The ques-
ton is easy to answer; we find our eli
mate changing and freezes come too
often to suit us, so we deem it neces-
sary to go somewhere, hoping to do
better.
But this is not going to continue al
ways. We are not going to have these
freezes every year, and if we wait pa
tiently l think in time Florida will
come back to it's normal state, and be
once more the prosperous country it
used to be, and those who remain here
are the Wisest ones, ana those who go
to Cuba will be glad to come back,
provided they didn't leave their bones
in that country. Farming has not
stopped yet and never will. No man
can truly say that he cannot make a
living here. Perhaps he may want to
make more than a living and lay up
riches; in that case, if he is in a big
hurry and cannot wait patiently with
the rest of us, why l advise him to
take the first train out of the State.
This kind of men we don't want any
how. 1t makes me feel sad to see the
people who are leaving Lake county
and sacrificing all they have to enable
them to get away, and can't help but
think them foolish.
The small towns are fast losing their
population, and places that were once

Personal Experience in Celery Cul-
ture.

Cufo.
The soil on which we grow our crop
is a dark sandy, or mucky damp land.
In selecting plot for celery, avoid
high light soils. On the other hand,
the soil should not be too wet Open
bitches can be made, to lower the wa
ter a foot or so from the surface Of
the soil where the land is apt to be
flooded during the rainy season. AL
most any of the leading varieties of
celery will do We'll Our experience
thus far has been mostly with the
Perfection Hartwell, Giant Pascal and
q few other varieties.
Seed can be soWn early in August.
The young plants are very tender and
must be sheltered from the storms and
sun until ready to transplant. The
most difficult feature in raising a crop
of celery lies in the growing OF the
plants which Should be stocky, yigor-
GUS and unstunted. Plants which have
been transplanted possess a decided
advantage when set out in the field
over those which have not been, and
for that reason we use the transplant-
ed ones altogether.
The seed bed should be made very
rich with well rotted manure and
plenty of commercial fertilizer. An
Of n
water in which small amount of nj
trate of soda has been dissolved, will
add much to the vigor OF the young
plants.
The seed should be sown very shall
low, and the bed kept damp and shad-
ed. For shading the beds, frames
made of laths placed an inch apart are
very good Canvas also will answer.
The shade should be removed every
afternoon, about three or four o'clock,
and not replaced before nine or ten
the next morning.
When the plants are three inches
high they can be transplanted into
rows far enough apart to admit of cul-
tivation with a hoe. When they have
reached the height of five or six inch
es, they are ready for the field.
Upon the plants being moved it is
often advisable to clip off the ends Of
both roots and leaves. This gives the
plants a better start.
On average lands from 1000 to
1900 pounds of fertilizer will be suf-
fcient. This fertilizer should contain
nitrogen, 5 to 6 per cent; available
phosphoric acid to per cent; potash,
8 to 10 per cent.
Stable manure and cotton seed meal
make good fertilizers in connection
with the above. Nitrate of soda, acid
phosphate and sulphate of potash are
very convenient and valuable fertili-
zers. Any good commercial fertilizer

LINES PRETTY THIN.
An Interesting Letter From Sergeant
Swaney at Manila.

Missoula, March 31.--Judge Woody has
received an interesting letter from Ser
geant SWaney Of the Kalispell company
of the LIST Montana, in which the writer
gives some newsy gossip regarding
some of the members Of the regiment.
Among other things Sergeant SWaney
says
I'VE have an immense territory to
cover with our army. The lines are
pretty thin, as the firing line is now is
miles in length. We carried on a fight
the whole length of this line on the 5th
(February). The Insurgents have re-
treated. but we can no longer follow, as
the line is no longer than General Mac
Arthur intended but the men are eager
and have proved themselves equal to
the occasion, so he let them go. We will
move on to Maloios as soon as the reg
ulars get here and make this country
safe to do business in. Already, in
weeks time. we have done more than
the Spaniards did in Is years. The Fill
ipinos have no government except on
paper in Aguinaldo's office, and the bet
ter class in this town admit that they
can not maintain a government. Four
miles from Manila takes you into dis
tricts where neither Spanish nor Taga-
10 is understood. Men were captured in
the insurgent ranks with hair hanging
down to their knees, bobbed off square,
ana with aDSOlutely no clUlhlnS, HSnl-
ing with bows and arrows and spears.
Our men and a battery Of the Sd artil-
lery were fired upon by the bow and
arrow men. but no one was hurt.

and I spend many half hour talking

DEEP SNOW STORIES,
The Bitter Root Mountains Are in tho
Lead at Present.


MiSsoula, March 31-Deep snow sto-
ries continue to be the proper thing
in these parts. The recent spell of
weather has had the effect of killing
off all spring talk and the result has
naturally enough been the resumption
of winter tales. The depth of snow and
the probability of high water is now
the absorbing theme and there is plenty
of talk on this subject There is a
strong rivalry now between the sew
eral districts of this end of the state
as to which can boast the most snow
and make the boast good. There have
been several stories told that have been
called down. but there are still some
stiff ones that have not been successful
ly refuted. The Bitter Root mountains
seem ITO be in the lead at present.

as to the water record of the coming
Spring-if it ever does come. That Il

MISSED HIS FOOTING.
Tom Dooley Seriously Injured in the n
T.. Yards.

Missoula, March 31-Thomas Dooley,
one of the oldest employees of the Rocky
mountain division of the Northern Pa =
cific railroad, was serious. Y injured at
the Missoula station this afternoon in
attempting to climb upon an engine
that was moving out of the yards. He
missed his footing and fell to the
ground. He is an old man and not very
active, so that when he struck the
ground he was not able to get away
from the train. He lay where he fell
and before the train could be stopped
he was struck by the step of one of the
cars and badly bruised. AS soon as
possible he was eXtricated from his po-
sition, and removed to the Northern Pa
cific hospital, where everything possible
was done to relieve him. 1t is feared
however that he is dangerously hurt
Dooley was well known to all train
men on the west end, as he had been
engaged as engine Waterman at Arlee
for a long time. He was a jolly old Irish
man, and all of the men liked him. The
news of his injuries was received with
regret.

FUNERAL OF MRS. MARTIN.
She Was Loved and Respected by All
Who Knew Her.

Who Knew Her.
Sunset, Mont, March 31.-The funeral
of Mrs. Henry w. Martin, at Sunset,
Mont, on the 2Sth inst. was attended
by a great number of friends from that
immediate vicinity and from Coloma,
Garnet and Ovando. The services were
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Clemo of Ovan-
do, assisted by the singing of ladies and
gentlemen attending the ceremony. The
sad death of Mrs. Martin, who was
universally loved and respected by all
who knew this most estimable, kind
and 1ovable lady, has cast a gloom
around and among her many friends,
and tears of sorrow coursed many a
bronzed cheek when the last farewell
glance was taken of the loved face still
in death.
The husband, whom all respect and
honor for his manly qualities and ster-
ling integrity, and his two little daush-
ters, so suddenly bereft of a mothers
loving care, have the true and heartfelt
sympathy of all who know them.
Mr.. Martins brother, Ambrose, who
has, in the same home, for some time
been dangerously i'll with pneumonia,
is slowly improving and believed to be
out of danger May, the eldest of the
little girls, has also been dangerously
i'll, but is recovering.

A Record Breaker.

Missoula, March 31.-Men who are
coming in from the mountains and the
upper valleys report the deepest snow
that has ever been known in this part
of the state. In the upper Bitter Root
the depth of snow in the lOWlands Of
Ross Hole and the neighboring valleys
is a record breaker. 1t is said to be II
feet on a level in the Hole, and in Lost
Horse pass above Hamilton, there are
according to reports, q feet of snow
In the lower Bitter Root, around Flor
ence, loggers are still using sleds, and
there is much snow back in the hills
AS all of this snow has hardly begun to
melt, it is likely that this spring will
establish a new high water record when
the thaW comes.
