Death Among Whites.

Tho deaths among white employees due
70 accident is much greater than among
the blacks and natives. There has not
been q case Of yellow fever on the
isthuus since May, 1906, when a sus-
piciOus case was discovered ut Colon.
There has always been some doubt as
TO whether IT was really a case Of yell
low fever. The last case before that
was in December, 1906
The sanitary department continues
10 oil the streams on the isthmus for
tho purpose Of destroying breeding
places Of mosquitoes, but the elimination
OF disease has been so general through
out the entire territory that this work
IS not being done as extensively as when
the United states FIRST took possession
OF the Zone. Such work, however, viii
have TO be carried on 70 limited extent
indefinitely, and probably after the
canal has bene put In operation.
A considerable portion OF the work
formerly done by the sanitary depart
ment Is now being performed by the
0uartermaster's department, such as
cutting underbrush, Oihng streams
where new railroad work Is cOntem-
plated. etc. For this service the sani-
tary department pays $4,000 year.
Santa Tomas Hospital.
In addition TO its own hospitals the
Government is spending about $1,000 q
year on the Santa Tomas Hospital. in
tho city Of Panama, owned by the Pan
amaDian government. This money is
used to pay the salaries Of the super
intendent, two physicians, ard three
nurses, the expenditure being regarded
as necessary IN order that our own
health officials may exercise supervision
over the local health institutions
There has never been an accurate cen
sus Of the isthmus, but II IS estimated
that the total population IS about 115OOO.
II the sanitary and hospital depart
ments are granted the Appropriation
asked for the fiscal year 1901 the
United States will be spen6tng during
that time about so per capitg to keep

cautionary measures against disease a

Celery, which in its native state is
hardy biennial, has been so improved
by cultivation that 1t has become a
delicious and palatable vegetable.
While it may be grown on any we'll
drained, fertile soil, a sandy loam will
give best results for the following rea-
sons: First, the quality of celery is
superior to that grown on any other
type of soil; second, the texture of
the celery is firmer than that grown
on muck soils, and therefore the ship
ping quality is better; third, when
celery is grown on either clay or
muck soil, neither of which dries out
readily after rain, the land is too fire.
quently injured by harvesting while
the soil is wet. Celery that is grown
on a sandy soil can be harvested sew
eral days earlier after a wet season
than that grown on a clay or muck
soil. This is an important point when
one considers how much IL might
mean to the grower to have his crop
delayed a few days in reaching the
market and how seriously he might
injure his soil by harvesting while the
land is too wet. While this applies
to any method of growing celery, 1t is
especially true when the celery is
blanched by banking with soil.
Celery is transplanted to the field
during the summer months, when II
is very hot and the soil usually dry.
II is therefore necessary to water the
plants as they are set out, but even

TALLY decayed and need not be re-
moved from around the plants when

scribed above will hardly be checked
in their growth by transplanting.
In order to guard against carrying
disease from the plant bed to the
field the plants should be thorouhly
sprayed with Bordeaux mixture a few
days before being removed from the
plant beds. All dead and yellow
leaves should be stripped from the
plants after they are taken from the
bed before they are carried to the
field
Late celery for winter use is
blanched by soil. The plants are set
in the field during July and early Au-
gust, and the blanching is begun
about the last of September. The
celery is usually ready for use by the
goth of November, but will continue
to grow rapidly during December and
will usually need no protection until
the last of that month, when IL may
be protected by covering entirely with
soil or straw, or 1t may be stored in .
suitable frame or trenched.
The medicinal value of celery when
used as a regular diet is of no little
account; though the actual nourishing
value is small when compared with

ing Trails For Fire Guards.

The frustrating instinct of the An
CORA goat is being successfully demon
strated on the Lassen national forest
in California, where they are cutting
trails for fire guards through the
brushy areas on the slopes of the
mountains.
The animals, which number 5000,
have been divided into two bands, and
under the care OF the herders are
grazed within certain weA-defDed
areas so that their work may be con-
centrated on the brush within those
limits. The result is that they have
practically killed nearly all the brush
in the course either by eating II up
entirely, or by barking, as In the case
of the heavy manzanita bushes. At
the beginning of the experiment there
was some doubt as to the goats Will
ingness to eat the manzanita, but x
has been found that where there In
little else they will just as readily at
tack it as any other bushes.
The grazing season was so late this
year on the Lassen forest that the
goats did not begin operations until
about 'the middle of June, but since
then they have made rapid progress
and the result promises to be sue
cess from every point of view. The
trails will first be opened and then
kept free of sprouts by the goats, saw
ing the government considerable labor
in cutting them out by hand, as has
been done heretofore. while the
brushy forage which otherwise would
have been wasted will support 5000
goats very comfortably.

of the plants will die II the weather
remains dry and hot many days after
the plants are transplanted.
When the plants are thinned in the
seed bed those removed may be set
in 21a-inch paper pots and, after shad-
ing for few days, treated in the
same way as the plants in the seed
bed. They will probably require more
frequent watering unless they are
plunged half their depth in soil.
The tops of the plants in the seed
bed and also those in pots should be
clipped back to about half their length

the field and watered sparingly the
last week before transplanting. An

Renting on Shares.

A reader would like to know what
the owner of a farm, renting on
shares, is required TO furnish the one
who rents" The question is not en-
tirely clear, but it is presumed that
the correspondent means working on
shares instead of renting. In that case
it is common custom for the land
owner TO furnish the land and seed,
and the other party to give the labor
and manure. In some cases the cost
of manure or fertilizer is shared
equally The income of the crop is
equally divided.

We sped along In spirits high that night Through the soft glamour of the pale
 moonlight, Up hill and down. OCT level broad high
 ways. Their surface smooth deserving Of all
 praise. On either side the trees stood dark and
 still. At times we heard the crickets chirping
 shrill The whirlpool. too, sang his plaintive lay To thrill us as We hastened on our way. The romance of the evening filled our
 souls, And. though at times we bumped into
 some holes in the dark roadway. life seemed fair and
 sweet, Significant to us of Joy complete. A mystic languor on our senses fell And bound us In sweet, enchanting
 spell Until we were some thirty miles from
 town, And then the blamed old benzine cart
 broke down.
