Tell Time in the Dark 
U P early and at it! A Radiolite, 
that tells time in the dark, is a 
convenience—and a necessity. First, 
while still in bed, to know the time 
without striking a match or putting on 
the light. Then all the time till sun-up. 
With sun-down the wonderful Radio¬ 
lite dial goes to work again. Times you 
at the chores. Spends the evening with * 
you. And goes to bed with you.

Pump for Irrigation 
I am installing a Skinner irrigation 
system on a patch of muck for celery, 
and have everything ready except pump 
and engine. I have put in a 2-in. feed 
line about 550 ft. long, with connections 
for 10 sprinkling lines, but will work 
only five lines first, these five lines to be 
the further end of line. Sprinkling lines 
are 300 ft. long. Height of lines is 5 ft. 
I thought to use a centrifugal pump with 
2 1 / £-in. intake and 2-in. outlet. I intend 
to drive in two well points iy 2 -in. size, 
and connect those together, and have the 
pump work from those wells. I am fairly 
sure of a good water supply at a depth of 
from 6 to 8 ft. Would a centrifugal pump 
work in this way and give enough pres¬ 
sure to the further lines? j. c. L. 
Grand Rapids, Mich. 
I do not think a centrifugal pump 
would answer for this purpose. If you 
intend to run five lines, each 300 ft. long, 
you would need a two-way force pump. 
I would advise digging a well at least 8 
or 10 ft. in diameter if a good supply 
can be obtained by going 8 or 10 ft. deep. 
You will find this much more satisfactory 
than driving two l^-in. points.

Hollow Celery 
Why does celery turn out piped or hol¬ 
low? Is it the fault of the seed, or grow¬ 
ing conditions? Some fields have more 
than others. It. seems to occur more with 
the Giant Pa-scal than with other varie¬ 
ties. f. w. 
Lakewood, N. J. 
The variety is mostly responsible for 
pithy celery; the Giant Pascal and the 
Winter King I have discarded for this 
reason. Another cause is too much nitro¬ 
gen in the fertilizer or manure. If phos¬ 
phate is used, a grade running about 
3-19-8 (three of ammonia, 10 phosphoric 
acid, and eight potash) is best, or well- 
rotted manure which has spent most of 
the ammonia. w. P. 
A Test for Rest — 
AFTER the sleepless night, and you 
wonder about the cause, has it 
ever occurred to you that it may be 
caffeine, the drug in coffee, that keeps 
you awake? 
Suppose you try Postum as your 
mealtime beverage, lor at least ten 
days— 
Put it to the test! 
At your first sip of Postum, you 
will understand why, by many, it is 
preferred equally for its delicious 
flavor and for its wholesomeness. 
Postum is absolutely free from the 
coffee drug, caffeine, or anything that 
can cause restless nights or uncom¬ 
fortable days.

The Frost-Proof Garden 
A correspondent (page 1468) notes a 
half-dozen garden flowers which bloom on 
bravely after that first biting frost which 
is so often followed by several weeks of 
mild weather and she asks for additions 
to the list. Her communication led me 
to scan my own and the neighbors’ gar¬ 
dens with a particularly interested eye. 
The present season has, of course, been 
particularly favorable to the late bloom¬ 
ers, but I should put pansies and the little 
old-fashioned johnny-jump-ups among the 
sturdy few, and also the fragrant ten- 
weeks stock, which was gathered here 
(Southern Connecticut) in full bloom on 
December 15. The blue cornflower or 
bachelor’s button is another annual which 
I noticed holding up its head along with 
the chrysanthemums. r. f. d.

“There’s a Reason 
Your grocer sells Postum in 
two forms: Instant Postum 
[in tins] prepared instantly in 
the cup by the addition of 
boiling water. Postum Cereal 
[in packages] for those who 
prefer the flavor brought out 
by boiling fully 20 minutes. 
The cost of either form is 
about one-half cent a cup. 
Sold by grocers everywhere! 
Steam Boiler Tank; Nail Keg Cement 
Forms 
I have seen several things here that 
your farm people may use to advantage 
up North. One is to use an old, dis¬ 
carded steam boiler for a water tank, as 
the shell is almost always pretty good. 
Take the old flues out of the boiler, make 
a concrete foundation and place the boiler 
on end and pour concrete inside and out 
of the shell to the depth of about 8 in. to 
form a bottom. This placed at the eaves 
of the barn with faucet placed at the 
bottom of tank, one has a very fine water 
system. 
Old nail kegs make a fine holder for 
concrete in erecting buildings on piers. 
Simply level the tops of the nail kegs, 
placing them in the ground a little way, 
and then fill them with concrete, and 
you have a very fine pier, and cheaply 
made. I saw a very large warehouse 
constructed on these nail keg piers.

Standardized Plant Names. — A 
Catalogue of Approved Scientific and 
Common Names in American Com¬ 
merce. 
This book was prepared by Frederick 
Law Olmstead, Frederick V. Coville and 
Harlan P. Kelsey, the sub-committee of 
the American Joint Committee on Horti¬ 
cultural Nomenclature. This is a refer¬ 
ence book of 546 pages, which simplifies 
our present indefinite lack of system by 
giving authoritative names, both common 
and scientific, for the plants of all classes 
now in American commerce. The need 
of such a standardized list has been evi¬ 
denced in the confusion of popular or 
trade names, and the fact that botanists 
themselves were not always in accord. 
Every florist, nurseryman or gardener 
needs this book, and will derive profit 
from it. The book is published by the 
Joint Committee, of which Harlan P. 
Kelsey is secretary, at Salem, Mass.; 
price, $5.
