To Grotv Fine Celery.
A Michigan gardener writes : Take
any land that will stand drought , put
t least one load of well-rotted manure
on every square rod of ground , plow
nd fit the ground well , set plants in
? ows 16 inches apart and six to eight
inches apart in tue row ( set with an
old brick trowel ) , keep the surface
well worked till the plants cover the
ground , after which no weeds will
bother. By raising celery by this
method the plants become dense , and
consequently darken the lower parts
of the plants , causing the celery to
row white from the center. None
but White Plume will grow successful
ly this way. White Plume can be
grown in single row and be blanched
by placing bundles of corn stalks on
both rows. Bundles should be at least
eight inches In diameter. I grew
White Plume celery 33 Inches high
last year on high ground , and it was
es white ns snow. I find the Giant
Pascal is best for late winter use ,
but It has to be earthed to blanch.
These two varieties are the best to
ny notion.
One-Man Corn Sled.
Make two runners , one 5 feet and
one 7 or 8 feet long ; use 2x6 stuff ;
place 2 feet apart and nail boards on
top ns shown in cut Fasten a scythe
blade on for knife. It is better than
the steel plate knives. Knife should
run high on edge and at an angle of
about 45 degrees from the ruuners.
A ONE-MAX y SLED.
The object of the long runner Is to
keep the sled from bucking to one
Bide , Avhich is caused by the cutting
being all done on one side. We stand
up to cut iu large corn , and put on a
box and sit down in small. It Is a
waste of labor to knock the corn down
on sled and pick it up again. Keep it
up in your arms. The single sled is
now preferred to the double ones here.

On Sowine CloTer.
Sowing clover is an absorbing ques
tion with farmers who desire to keep
up the fertility of their land. When
seed is high there is always a disposi
tion , with some , to defer sowing clover
until anoiuer year , and plow up the
fields agnin. Seed may be cheaper
next year , you know. This manage
ment may have kept these same fields
under the plow for years , making It
more uncertain to secure a catch , and
requiring more acres , every year , to
secure the requisite amount of grain.
It is unwise and foolish to fall to sow
clover because seed is dear.
Diversified Farm in in the Extreme.
The managers of the Maryvllle ( Mo. )

How to Market the Knttcr.
Those who possess the knack of rnak
ing butter that has that fragrant
flavor that distinguishes the produce of
many farm dairies , often make the mis
take of keeping the butter on hand too
long after it is made befQre marketing
it. It will be fouud that however pal
atable it may be , and however good
the flavor it possesses when first made ,
it will have escaped after too long
keeping. Even when transported long
distances it loses its distinctivenes3
while in transit In fact it seems that
butter which possesses to a large de
gree this much-uesired flavor deterio
rates much quicker than an inferior
kind. As a consequence of this , thd
farmer's wife who makes a superior
article which has a local reputation for
excellence should endeavor to dispose
of the product to local trade , or at
least sell It so near home that it will
be but a day or two between the churn
and the customer. This can be easily
managed in almost any locality whera
there Is a market for it by securing a
list of private customers and furnish
it to them direct as they need It ThisI
class of patrons are much more profit
able year iu and year out than the city
hotels or the commission houses or
those customers who buy in the gen-
era ! market
To Prevent Black Rot.
As a preventive of black rot in vine
yards next season the North Carolina
experiment station recommends thnj
all dead leaves and rotten grapes b (
raked up and removed and rotten
grapes clinging to the vines and trel
lises picked off.
Loose shredded bark that can b |
readily pulled from the vines prun
Ings , dead ffrass and weeds should In
burned ; In fact anything capable ol
harboring the dustlike spore should bt
destroyed or taken away.
While the vines are still in a dor
inant condition , spray with the coppm
sulphate solution , thoroughly wetting
the vines and posts , and paying pn- '
ticular attention to bunches of tentlri'j
or rough surfaces on the posts thr )
would be likely to retain the spores. J |
Is much easier to keep black rot out cl
a vineyard once cleaned than to kee [ .
it down in a vineyard uot cleaned.
Aspnratrn for the Family.
One hundred plants will furnish Hit
average family with a supply of th (
most delicious early vegetable. Thot
should not cost over § 1 , and hence in
stead of being looked upon as a Itixtin
it should be common In every faiuili
garden. Rich sandy soil is best , bi l
it will thrive in any soil if given
reasonable show. Palmetto , Cone
er's , Collossal and Baris Mammoth ai ,
recommended as very satisfactory v.-
rieties. The plants should be set a : .
early In the spring as possible , in row
30 inches apart and IS in the rev :
Plant In holes or trench , six incho *
deep , filling it up gradually , and do n- '
cut the stalks , except sparingly , unt.
the third season. It readily respond
to good care and fertilization ai'J
should be liberally top-dressed wilt

Dicestibility of Foods.
The value of cattle foods depend
largely upon their digestibility. The-1
is more protein in straw than in con
fodder , but the latter is more digesti
ble. Some coarse foods are valuable
however , in assisting to digest the con
centrated foods by giving bulk to tin
mess and separating the materials , es
pecially when the coarse foods are re
duced to a fine condition. EV Q if bul
a portion of the straw foods is di
gested , they are prepared for the ma
nure heap by the animals and are thui

Sheep for BIntton.
Mutton as a human food is gaining
rapidly in reputation. So much im
provement has been made in the meth
ods of breeding , fattening , slaughter
ing and ripening mutton that a greal
army of people who were once prejuj
diced against it no longer find anything
a
thing the matter with It Good an
thorities predict that the time is rapid
ly approaching when as many sheep §
and lambs will be slaughtered In thii
country as there are hogs and catth
slaughtered now. History shows ui '
that in old countries mutton Is thi
poor man's meat The reason for thii '
la that it can be raised at less cost m

Tonigbfc the indications are that the

at Saginaw during the night and |

"I have the honor to lespectfully
communicate to your majesty the '
report of General Mishtchenko dated
March 28 , at 10 p. m. which says :
"For three consecutive dajs our
small outpost attempted to draw the
Japanese cavalry into action , but
their patrols , after contact was es-
tablishud , retired beyond Chong Ju
( about fitly miles northwest of Ping
Yang. )
"Having learned that four squadt
rons of the enemy were posted five
versts beyond Chong Ju oa March
27 , six companies marched toward
Kasan and on March 28 reached
Chung Ju at 10:30 a. m. As soon as '
our scouts approached the town the
enemy opened fire fiom behind the '
wall. Two squadrons promptly dis- '
mounted anl : occupied the heights

NEW HAVEN , Conn. A finding
that the sealed letter by which Phi'o
S. Bennett expressed a wish that
$50,000 should be given to William
Jennings Bryan and his family was
nut a part of the last will of Mr.
Bennett was returned by the jury
today in the superior couit in the
trial of Mr. Bryan's appeal from tbe
decision of the probate court.
The finding which upholds the de
cision of the probate court was given
In accordance with instructions to
the jury from Judge Gager who pre-
sidpd at tbe superior court trial.
Judge Gagei's ruling In the question
which has never betore come directly
before tbe courts of Connecticut de
cided that tbe sealed letter coulrl
not be admitted as evidence in the
trial. The decision followed argu
ments which bad occupied mst of
the two proceeding days of the ses
slon regarding the adraissibility of
this letter as evidence , counsel for
Mr. Bryan contending that it should
be admitted while the attorneys f T
Mrs. Grace Imneene Bennett the
, widow and other heirs presented
opposing arguments.
Mr. Bryan here said that he would
'not insist nron this trial but thatr
'his side was prepared and any delay
would not be through his fault. Ho
continued :
"This is tbe only case in which I
'
feel personal interest. I say now ,
as I said iu tbe court below , that
no money will be used personally by
me without tbe consent of Mrs.
Bennett. I am willing to give bond ,
he went on "that no member of ray
family : will receive one cent of that
850,000 without tbe consent of Mrs.
Bennett. "
Judge Bennett then ordered the
Bennett appeal stricken of ? the trial
list. '
{
At this point the jury returned ,
with a verdict excluding the "sealed
I
letter" and the typwritten copy f-f
the same as evidence as a pat of
the will. The court then adjourned. ,
