August Work in Florida.
it is always well to keep track of the work
suitable for each month. The Florida Ag
riculturist, speaking of the work for Au
gust, says that it is too frequently the case
with those who intend to plant a garden to
leave the purchasing of seed and the prepa
ration of the soil till the time to sow the
60e ,l comes, and then everything will be in
a rush and many things overlooked that
should have been attended to. Next month
js the time to commence sowing for fall gar
den and those who intend to put out one
should now look over their seed catalogues
and decide on what they intend to plant
and send and get taw at once. Such
S uods as tomatoes, cabbages and cauliflower
should bo sown in boxes and kept moist so
that by the middle of next month you will
have some plants to start with. By retard
ing the growth of the plants in boxes, or
making a succession of sowings, you can
have new plants to set out every two or
three weeks. In this way you can have
cabbage fresh from your garden at least
seven months of the year.
Tho land on which you intend to plant
your garden should be fertilized, plowed
and harrowed and all weeds turned under.
If tho garden is for your family use do not
trv to see how much ground you can cover,
but how well you can prepare the land and
how much you can grow on a given piece of
ground.
Toward tho latter part of this month we
may look for bad and windy weather with
considerable rain and possibly a storm. Of
course we are not positive of this, but ex
perience of past yoat's causes us to expect it,
Hildas an “ounce of prevention is better
than a pound of cure,” it is well to prepare
for it. Young and tender plants should be
protected and all young buds tied up, as
very few of them are strong enough to stand
any amount of wind without danger.
Budding is frequently done during this
month but we do not think it best, as they
will scarcely grow sufficient to become hanl
enough to stand the cold of winter, while
buds put in in Ootober will lie dormant and
be ready to start in the spring. Young trees
are making a rapid growth and they should
be watched and thumb-pruned to keep them
in good shape. Especially is this necessary
on young budded trees, for “as the twig is
bent the tree is inclined.”
Conch cowiieas planted now between the
rows of yo'uig orange trees will moke a suf
ficient growtn to plow under at the last
working of the grove in the fall.
Cowpeas can still be planted for fodder,
or the old ones cut off and allowed to sprout
from the stubble which will give a good crop
for turning under. Sweet potato vines can
still be planted and there has been very few
put out in comparison to last year, there
will be a demand for them. Work on the
farm is somewhat slack just now, but time
should to put in in killing the weeds that
fill every corner and will soon scatter seed
enougli to seed acres which will require
extra work and hard labor to eradicate next
spring.
Time to Sow Grass Seeds.
A writer in the Southern Cultivator says
that the seeds of most kinds of hardy grasses
are observed to come up during this month
if showers of rain occur, indicating the
commencement of seed time Owing, how
ever, to the rather unnatural eonditiou of
most of our cultivated lands, as compared
with virgin soils freshly cleared, it is totter
to defer sowing until the latter part of the
month, or until September or October, ac
cording to latitude. We have sown grass
in August; but the results do not justify
such parly sowing as a rule, as the young
plnnts nre very apt to to destroyed by tho
hot sun and dry weather in September.
(Not only do the ordinary non-cereal grasses
show a natural tendency to germinate dur
ing the month of August, but it is a matter
of common observation that the seed of
oats, rye and barley will He on the surface
after harvest in May and June, rarely ger
minating until the rains of August have set
in.) The seeds of crab grass and other sum
mer grasses, although still plentiful in tho
soil, rarely come up so late as August, al
though the seasons may to favorable so far
as rainfall is concerned. Such species seem
to to controlled, in their germination, by a
sort of plant instinct which tells them that
there will not to time to develop another
crop of seed before frost. The same natural
instinct encourages the germination of win
ter and perennial grasses—those which will
withstand the frosts of winter, and which
require a longer period in whieli to develop
growth and maturity. Under favorable
and natural conditions winter grasses gene
rally succeed well if the seeds to sown in
August; but for the reasons already inti
mated experience teaches that the following
month is the most suitable time. It is well,
however, to provide seed, allot the ground
and make needed preparations for sowing
during the next two months. On strong,
or moderately fertilized clay and limo soils
red clover and orchard grass should to tho
chief reliance; on low and rather moist
bottoms herds grass will succeed. Poa
arachnifrra or Texas bluo grass, though
not yet fully established in reputation, is
worthy of trial as a winter pasture grass.
Query. Will Bermuda and Tkxas blue gross
thrive together? Bermuda wilt certainly
and effectually exterminate the Kentucky
bluo grass. Such a combination, if com
patible, would furnish a desideratum, an
all-tlie-year-round pasture. There have licon
many favorable reports of burr clover ns a
constituent of such a pasture. Sown early
in the fall on Bermuda grass sod. it is said
that the former will furnish good winter
grazing, and if stock to taken off in March
will resend the ground and die down, when
the Bermuda will spring into verdure and
growth, and furnish grazing until frost in
the fall.
Value of Farm Product*.
Tho Department of Agriculture in Wash
ington states that the value of American
farm produce reaches tho vast sum of
four thousand millions of dollars (*4,000,-
000,000).
In an itemized tablo the values are thus
given: Indian com, 1,900,000,000 bushels,
value, $027,000,000 ; 450,000,000 bushel* of
wheat, value $440,000,000; dairy products,
including milk, butter and cheese, *370,000,-
000; hay, 45,000,000 tons, value *3H0,000,-
000; dressed beef, 4,000,000,000 pounds, value
$330,000,000; pork products, 5,000,000,000
pounds, value *360,000,000; cotton, 8,120,-
000,000 pounds, value *250,000,000; poultry
products, estimated, *200,000,000; oats,
t 00 ,000 ,000 bushels, value *168,000,000; po
tutoss, 200,000,000 bushels, value *100,000,-
fruits, *100,000,000; vegetables, *OO,-
000,000; wool, 300,000,000 pounds, value
*45,000,000; mutton, 500,000,000 pounds,
value *45,000,000; tobacco, 483,000,000
pounds, value *42,000,000; barley, 00,000,-
000 bushels, value *83,000,000; rye, 35,000,-
<OO bushels, value *14,000.000; sugar, 250,-
000,000 pounds, value *12,500,000; molasses
syrup, 45,000,000 gallons, value *11,250,000;
buckwheat, 13,000,000 bushels, value *7,280,-
000; rice, 98,000,000 pounds, value *4,900,-
000; honey, 30,000,000 pounds, value *4,800,-
000; beeswax, 1,800,000 pounds, value
*325,000; other soil products, seeds, wines,
etc., total value *408,945,000. making a grand
aggregate of *4,014,600,000.
The Indian corn and half the hay pro
duced may safely be relegated to the pro
duction of butchers’ meat and fowls, other
grains eaten being fully sufficient to cover
j export corn and that used as human food.
This would leave the value of the products
of tho country, other than the butcher’s
meat, as upward of *3,250,000,000. Com
parisons will show some interesting data.
Beef, pork, mutton, dairy products and
fowls constitute about one-third the total
value of all products, and far more than all
the cereal grains—hay, cotton, rice and to
bacco. Again, our meat products are worth
more than the other agricultural products
except those just enumerated. What in
dustry on the continent can begin to show
such substantial figures as that of agricul
ture?
Strength of Timber.
A discussion is going the rounds of the
press as to the relative strength of wet or
dry timber. The Scientific Press says: We
do not believe there is much to be made out
of the discussion. Some kinds of timber nre
stronger when dry, while other kinds are
stronger when wet or green. It is safe to
say that all woods are harder and less liable
to bend wheu dry than when wet or green.
But most hard woods when wet will possess
more tensile strength than when dry. Tim
ber thoroughly seasoned is more brittle than
when green, and with the necessary force
will break square off, while the same timber
green will stand about the same pressure by
bending more or less without breaking.
Tuko a hickory sapling that is almost im
possible to break in its green state, although
it may bend double, and thoroughly dry it
and you may easily break it almost “square
off,” as the boys say. So witii almost any
kind of timber. Drying makes it stiffer,
more unyielding, but in very few instances
stronger.
Asparagus Culture.
A writer in the Florida Agriculturist
furnishes tho following points relative to
the cultivation of asparagus in that State:
1. A thoroughly well drained soil, high
pine or high hammock being the most suit
able, the richness or poverty of tho soil
being of comparatively little moment
2. Thorough preparation of tho ground
by tho removal of all roots, oak runners,
cane grass, etc., a litoral application of
strong durable fertilizer beneath the plant,
and tbe mixture therewith of the tost of the
soil turned out by the plow or spade.
3. Unstinted supplies of fertilizer in the
form of top dressing subsequently applied,
say in January and at the commencement
of tlie rainy season each year.
4. Careful cultivation for the first few
weeks after setting to prevent the earth
from packing in the holes or furrows, and
hindering the first shoots from reaching the
surface.
5. Patience sufficient to resist the tempta
tion to commence cutting before the roots
have become thoroughly established. Two
year-old loots require one clear season, one
year-old roots two seasons, and plants grown
from seed three seasons, before any sprouts
nre marketed.
6. And this though we put it last is per
haps first in importance, co-operation among
neighbors. The experiment is necessarily a
somewhat costly one if carried out on any
thing approaching a large scale. The sods
and climate of Florida have not yet toon
.sufficiently tested to allow of predicting
with certainty the success or failure of a
particular product. One man’s soil may to
suited and another’s in the same neighbor
hood unsuited to a certain crop, or, as in
our own case, one part of a bed may fail
where another succeeds. In any case every
plant will not provide a marketable shoot
on the same day, and consequently a soli
tary grower in a district may often find
himself, at the earliest and most remunera
tive part of the season, with sufficient
“grass” to make up a few bunches, but just
too little to be worth shipment. Now if two
or throe of his neighbors were experiment
ing at tbe same, time, no one would to a
heavy loser in case of failure, and each one
would to a considerable gainer by a system
of co-operative shipments. Little by little,
as the results seemed to justify the expendi
ture, each could enlarge his beds until he
was sure of an indppend nt position as re
gards shipping; but during tho experiment
al stages, a little mutual accommodation
between neighbors would to vastly totter
than the system of hanging back to see
whether a solitary experiment succeeds or
fails before risking one’s own money and
labor, and it would also to tending to estab
lish the new product, whatever it might to,
as a Florida product, in the distant mar
ket*, and so creating a demand, to be filled,
with ever increasing profit to the original
producers, as time proves the experiment a
success.
Household.
Baked Tomatoes. —Peel the tomatoes
and place on an earthen pie plate with deep
paste; season with butter, salt and pepper.
Bake slowly.
To Destroy Bed Bugs. —Take a can, box
or gourd, fill full of dirt and put in it a
piece of meat. Find au unt bed; set the
box by it; tho ants will move in the box;
then cover with a cloth and set it by the
bedstead. Catch one or two bugs and'drop
in the box to start tbe ants. In two days
there will not to a bug in the house. Then
throw tho box away. This method never
fails and nothing ruined by scalding.
Coffee Ice Cream. —One breakfast cup
ful of strong, clear coffee, one breakfast
cupful of boiling milk, four ounces of pul
verised sugar, one pint of cream and fivo
yelks of eggs. Put the coffee, toiling milk,
mi Mr and tlm yelks of eggs (well beaten)
into n porcelaill-lmed saucepan und mix all
well togethor. Place on the fire, stirring
constantly, till it thickens, when add tho
cream. Continue to stir over tho tire until
atout to boil, when take off and allow to
cool. When cold put into a freezer and
freeze.
Peach .Short Cake.—Take two cups of
creamery buttered flour; add one cup of
water or milk; mix quickly but thoroughly
with a spoon. If a little sweetening is de
sired add two heaping tablespoonfuls of su
gar when mixing. Drop into jelly-cake
tins and hake in a quick oven. This recipe
will make two good-sized layers. After
baking put the peaches (previously parts 1
and sliced thill) between the layers ami upon
the top layer, sprinkling the fruit with su
gar. Cut into slices like pie and serve with
cream or rich milk.
Broken Ecig Plant.— Take a ripe speci
men and with a sharp knife cut in two
lengthwise, cut out the contents from one
hair, leaving enough adhering to the skin
to keep it in shape. If there are five or six
in the family this will be sufficient, tho rest
can to kept for another meal. Cook the
vegetable until U nder, just a* you would a
pumpkin, it will take about four hours;
there must not to too much water. Brain
very dry; mix into it a largo lump of but
ter, salt und pepper, a triflo of onion, yelk
of one egg; moisten with cream or con
dense! milk, enough to make a thick totter.
Fill the empty shell with the totter, sprin
kle tbe top with bread crumbs aud bake
fifteen minutes in a quick oven.

Farm and Stock Notes.
Though sorghum seed is small, a fair crop
will yield 20 to 25 bushels, worth for feeding
as much as an equal weight of corn ana
better for poultry. This by-product .of the
sorghum crop is in many places worth
enougli to pay for growing it, leaving the
cane to be made into sugar, or fed to stock
if no conveniences to near for working it
up.
Beekeepers in Florida are rather discour
aged. A correspondent says: “About one
half of all the toes here in January of last
year are dead. Of nearly 100 colonies
brought here by Mr. Poppleton, of lowa,
very few remain at last accounts.” From
this it would seem that beekeeping is not.
always prosperous, even in the “sunny
South.”
The following is given as a good way to
heal up wounds caused by the splitting of
fruit trees by frost or other means: llcut
some grafting wax, dip a strip of muslin in
it and place it perpendicularly over tlio
wound; then put throe or more narrow
bands around the tree. This will be suffi
cient and the heahng process will go on
rapidly.
If any one have a pear tree that bears
spotted or cracked fruit, let him sprinkle
wood ashes freely over the soil beneath the
tree, as far in diameter as the branches ex
tend —not a light sprinkle either, hut n lito
ral dressing. Then wash the bark thor
oughly with strong soap suds (old-fashioned
soft soap preferred), with the addition of
lime water and a little flower of sulphur.
Never use a ram of your own raising that
will to connected with your flock, says the
New York Herald. This trying to get into
a flock of thoroughbreds by using rams of
one’s own raising and breeding has destroyed
more good sheep than anything else that
can to named. Where one man succeeds
nine hundred and ninety-nine fail. As often
as a rum shall to needed buy one of the same
breed but not connected by blood relutions.
In selecting a churn, says T. D. Curtis, to
sure and get it large enough. It should not
bo more than one-tbird full of cream, if tbe
easiest, most speedy aud most satisfactory
results to desired. Do not give too swift a
motion. If you should do so you would
prolong the time of churning, if you would
not prevent it altogether. Forty or fifty
revolutions a minute is usually fast enough.
Give just that motion to a revolving churn
which will carry the cream to the top of the
churn and permit it to fall with a swashing
thud.
Mr. Wilcox, of Almondsbury, Glouces
tershire, England, savs: “I have been in the
habit of feeding stock with wheat for some
years past. I consider it to to more nutri
tious than any other food I have ever used.
My plans are as follows: Cut straw and hay
to fine chaff—the greater proportion being
straw thrown over a given quantity (four or
five pounds) of meal, with as much pulp
root as you feel disposed to put in, mixing it
together. Give it twice a day. To sheep I
always give it crushed or bruised—say a
pint or a pint and a half each per day;
it is the finest food for sheep I have ever
used.”
Jerry Sexton, Ames, lowa, says in an
swer to inquiry when to cut timber for
posts: Cut in early summer, when the leaves
are nearly full grown, and let them lie six
or eight days before trimming. Tbe foliage
presents a great area of evaporating surface
whidi draws the sap or moisture out of the
trunk. If the moisture is taken out in this
way there is less tendency for tho wood to
check and it will last much longer. It is
tost to split and rank tho posts up immedi
ately after trimming off the limbs. This
method has proven successful in Europe,
where it is generally followed ■in govern
ment forests.
Chemically speaking barley contains one
seventh more fattening qualities than do
oats, but as a matter of fact oats are much
the better food for horses. There is a me
chanical effect of barley which is object
ionable as a horse food; it neither digests
nor assimilates as well as do oats. A mix
ture of two parts oats to one part barley,
ground, is much less objectionable thaji
clear barley. Tho percentage of fat pro
ducing elements in barley is 52, while in
corn meal it is 66.7. These figures, coupled
with the fact that the mechanical effect as
to horses does not exist, at least in so great
a degree, in hogs and cattle, will give a good
idea of the feeding value of barley for the
latter animals.
Speaking of the condition in which wool
should to put on the market, the Stockman
says that there is no excuse for tags. They
can be taken off before the sheep are turned
out upon the pasture in the spring, or if
neglected at that time it can be done when
you shear. There is no possible gain in
leaving them m. The package more than
overbalam es the increased weight, because
the buyer takes into consideration tile labor
of taking them out and is sure to over-esti
mate their weight. A difference of sc. per
pound on each fleece may make the differ
ence between realizing a profit and sustain
ing a loss. And in very many cases the
greater jxirtion of this difference is based
upon the condition in tho preparation of the
wool for market.

Paper wiudow glass is now said to he an

which makes it like parchment. From this
point it eiui to molded and cut into remark
ably tough sheets entirely transparent, and
it can to dyed with almost the whole of the
aniline colors, tho result being a transparent
shoot, showing far more vivid hues than tho

Prof. Atwood, in his second article on
foods in the June Century, devotes some
pages to exploding and ridiculing the pro
vailing notion that mental exertion con
sumes much phosphorus in tho brain, and
that, consequently, fish is specially good
brain food on account of containing much
phosphorus. H* denies that fish is paoo
liarly rich in phosphorus, or that there is
any evidence that tho bruin uses an over
proportion of phosphorus, or that there is
liny more connection between thought and
phosphorus tliun other elements of food.
Dr. Griffiths, an English physician, has
recently demonstrated that, iron sulphate is
an antidote for many of tho most virulent
epidemics which attack field and garden
crops. Those disease* are due to micro
scopic funguses, whose structures are built
up in a somewhat different manner from
the corresponding ports of other plant*. It
appears that tho cellulose in these funguses
is ach'd upon by iron sulphate, whereas in
tho higher plants tho cellulose of tile coil
walls is not influonoed. Tho iron sulpiiato
destroys the cellulose of the funguses, hut
does not affect that of tile attacked plant.,
It is. therefore, an antidote and destroyer
of such lairasiti' germs and lungue u* the
potato disease, wheat mildew, etc.

ART IN PIANO CASKS.
The designs of piano oases are
becoming more beaut if til and ornate
every year. It is becoming an art
in itself—that of designing, carving
ami elaborating piano cases. With
the improved machinery of our day
for carving, chasing and polishing,
a piano which now costs but a few
hundreds, before the war cost thous
ands of dollars.
Not only lias the improved ma
chinery of the artisan and the pencil
of the artist been called into requi
sition to produce Alhambric effects,
but the most beautiful of woods are
now employed. The old dark rose
wood, while beautiful, will show
dust, Anger marks and the slightest
scratch prominently and its polisn
is never of long duration. But with
tho curled French walnut, cherry,
mahogany, light rosewood and satin
wood, the polish is much more
durable, and certainly gives the
room a much more cheerful aspect
than tho dark and gloomy cases.
Tho grain of tho fancy woods,
which wo havo mentioned is simply
beautiful under the mirror-like
polish which is given a piano case,
and hut few purchasers will take
the old stylo case if they havo an
opportunity of seeing the later anil
far more beautiful stylos.
We are running tho Fancy Wood Cases
extensively this season, having in stock
even at this early date a superb line in
French Walnut,” Mahogany, Cherry, Oak
and Bight Rosewood.
Call anil spend a pleasant hour in our
Cool and Airy Piano Warorooms, testing
and admiring tho Magnificent Instruments
there displayed.
