have spoken several times of ou1 1tlul-
berries. Two years ago they were little
trees perhaps a yard high. Now they
are great spreading trees as large as
apple-trees in the North, and are loaded
with great luscious fruit. After break
fast and after dinner I devour them by
the quart. They are so dead ripe that
when a little breeze comes, they drop
all over the ground; but there are more
of them than rs hungry Leghorn hens
can take care Of They are so large
you would say a common hen could
never swallow one; but they manage to
make it, probably because they have
practiced on oat-stalks IS inches long.
When a neighbor calls we invite him out
to see the mulberries; and it's just fun
to see each one utter exclamatiOns of
surprise at their size, abundance, and
beauty, and, still more, when they taste
one. We have now only six trees, but
we are planting them in each one of our
eight pOultry-yards.
The first shipments Of lettuce brought
as good or better prices than hereto
fore; but toward spring there seemed to
be universal complaint about heading
up property. On this account neighbor
Rood's lettuceield has given my nearly
800 chickens Gold and young) all the
lettuce they could consume for about two
months past. We wheel over to the
chickens all that isn't fit for market.
| have just been looking at some pota-
toes on neighbor Rood's land that sur
pass anything l ever saw in Ohio or
Michigan either. When asked how
much fertilizer he applied per acre he
answered something like this "Mr.
Root, | did not put any fertilizers at all
on these potatoes; but did give the
ground very heavy application when
in celery, just before these potatoes. Let
me explain. AS l considered this one of
the poorest spots on my place (and
ne70 gr0mad), [ gave it the heaviest ap-
pl1cat1On | have ever made on any piece
of ground [ suppose we put on some
thing like four toms to the acre (where
you see these best pOtatoes) of a fer
tilizer costing $4,000 per ton. The eel
cry crop alone sold for over $500 per
acre"
These potatoes were larger foliage
heavier stalks, and better color than
[ think [ ever saw before Let me ex-
plain, that down here there are no Colo
RADIO beetles, no flea beetles, and no in
sects Of any kind to puncture and per-
tOrate and dlshgure the handsome pota
to plant, for It IS handsome where per
mltted to grow free and natural. AS
they were just coming into bloom, no
one can tell as yet what the crop will be
but Mr.. Rood dug into a hill and found

fairsized potatoes as clean and smooth
as newlaid eggs. Notwithstanding that
potatoes may be grown here almost all
the year round, nearly everybody uses
potatoes from the North. Other crops
pay so much better, we can't afford to
grow our own potatoes even if poor
ones shipped in do cost fifty cents a peck.
Our homegrown ones are equal in quail
ty to any I ever tasted in Ohio, Michi-
gan, Or Bermuda. -Gleanings in Bee
Culture.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-04-01

For potato blight, spray with Boz
deaux mixture. Spray with Paris green
or arsenate of lead just as soon as the
first insects appear. With fertile soil
and good cultivation, SO that the plants
grow thriftily, there is less danger of
insects injuring the plants.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-04-01

Don't get in the habit of setting the
lantern on the barn floor. Hang it up.
Fix a special hook for it in a position
SO that it will light as much of the
barn as possible.

High Pressure Gardening
BY A. 1. ROOT

With the good prices during the past
winter, celery has been the great money
making crop, and, inded, [ might say
during the past two winters. The celery
industry has been crowding more and
more into this part of the State, for two
reasOns-frst, the frOsts that we have
are lighter because we are SO far south,
and also because of Our nearness to the
warm waters of the Gulf secondly, be-
cause of the wonderful flow Of artesian
water in almost every part of Manatee
County, Now, when, [ tell you what is
being done here do not imagine every
one can do it. Almost all the time [
get letters asking if the writer can come
here and make living and quite few
ask if it is true that man can get rich
on ten acres, etc. Any one of fair abili-
ty should be able to make living here;
and there are few who really do get
to be fairly we'll off on ten acres or
less My neighbor Rood is, or perhaps
was, an educated lawyer; but he likes
gardening and bees SO we'll he has given
up his office in town and become far
mer. Well, Mr.. Rood seems to MAKE
every thing pay that he touches. When
he got the celery fever a year ago |
cautioned him about dropping Cor at
least partly) his strawberry and lettuce
that were paying so we'll, and venturing
on something he had never tried. But
this is what he did He went all over
this region, used his eyes and ears, and
asked questions; read the books and
papers, and finally made success the
very first time trying. He has promised
to give GLEANINGs some figures in re-
gard to what he has done and what
it cost; but he is such an exceedingly
busy man I fear he won't get around to
it. On his best ground the crop sold
for something like at the rate of $3.50
per acre.
A hive of bees on the scales gathered
last Sunday, March 20, IA pounds of
orange blossom honey, and this one hive
stored already over 100 pounds of this
beautiful white honey, almost if not
quite equal in looks and taste to any
honey anywhere. Now, if I should give
the above, and nothing more, very likely
a great lot of you would Swarm" down
here with your bees. The truth is,
this is one of his best colonies, built up
three stories high. Another truth is,
this is almost the first good flow Of
orange honey for about three years, and
the yield is probably confined mostly to
localities below the dangerous frost
line.
Even in this county you see deserted
orange groves, gardens, etc, where lot
of money has at sometime been expend-,
ed and then given up. A few days ago
I said to Mr.. Rood:
"Why doesn't this man go around
among his neighbors and see ho1V they
do things instead of trying to farm and
grow the same crops he did up north ?"
He replied. "Well, I declare, I don't
know. He just stays right here at home,
and doesn't go anywhere or seel anything
His land is just about as good as mine,
but he hasn't yet even ditched it to get
the water off"

municipal plants increased from
362O in 1902 to ANA in 1907, the
increase amounting to 1884, or 3O.2
per cent. The application of the
same rate of increase TO the esti
mated number of isolated plants in
1902 gives an estimate CT $4,000 for
1907.
There were H. 1907. according 10

WASHINGTON. y. c.. July TO-
The magnitude OF the central cleo

and the growth during the mterven.

the Census Bureaus special report.
now in press. on the second census
of the Central Electric Light and
Power Stations for the year 1907.
These stations are defined as those
which, exclusive OF isolated electric
plants. furnish electrical energy for
lighting and heating; and power for
manufacturing and mining purposes,
for street railways and elevators. for
charging batteries, etc.
Central stations are classed as
commercial" and municipal; the
former being those operated under
private ownership. whether by indi-
viduals, companies or corporations,
and the latter being those operated
by State. city or other local govern
ments. except those operated especial
ly for institutions.
With reference to the municipal
stations. the report states that these
plants are generally established pri'
marily to furnish current for light.
Ing public buildings, streets and
parks. Their field of operation is
however, much like that of the com
mercial stations.

there were $50 railway companies IL
