Aacwt CalUva i of taa Beet TtalsM Tfcar f Tltlemltara aa Vlarl- HIS subject was discussed at a meet ing of Canadian farmers, as fol lows: "Celery growing. Is It profitable to the market garden er? What is the best method of crowing and blanching? Which are the best varieties for the amateur; for marketing; and what is the best way to pack and keep for winter use?" Mr. Bncke I believe It has been gen erally said that the proper soil to grow celery 1b is black swamp muck. I have seen It grow repeatedly in such soil, and have never seen a bad crop. It grows fine and strong, and the mack does not appear to rust the celery. Mr. Rose-rAny one who wishes to grow celery should not attempt it in dry soU. I have for many years plant ed more or less celery. Our soil is high and dry, and I have never yet with per haps one exception had a good crop. It is not as good as what is grown on mucky4 soil. It does not blanch quite as well, and it is inclined to be tough. I in fact abandoned the cultivation of it last yearj but by mistake of one of the men we had a piece planted with it, and the season being a wet one the celery was the best we have had for years. We have a gentleman who lives in the eastern part of the town here, who has a piece of mucky land it is -"bVbHbbbsbSbE .,-nwfl vLKBsbSbSbSbSbSbS jlufciswrr!BssssssBBsS e3BBB JbbBBB -ssssssssBansaV mhpg- Jf -4 ''HbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbS SBH JJBpBlB TrmuM issf" '"MiTmTIbsssssssssssssssssssssssM M 'fVBssnBBSssssi 1bBsssB&BsbssBSBsBbsbKBbssS ""SBsf-- ' VaassBBsssssssBB?

In keeping celery for the win ter I find very great difficulty. If I put It outside which the most of those who grow it largely do put It In trenches I find great difficulty in get ting at it. About five minutes of severe frosty weather damages celery so that it is not fit to eat Mr. Wellington I do not think the growing of celery Is so difficult as is the keeping of it After trying a num ber of plans placing it in sand, and stacking it up very compactly together without anything about it, but merely allowing the roots to rest on soil I found the best way and only way I could keep It perfect was to pack it in damp moss, the same as nurserymen use for their trees and shrubs. I have tried that now three years with suc cess, and the celery seems to keep growing and blanching as it grows, and I cannot buy celery in Toronto equal to what I have on my table every day. We pack It in the damp moss In cases and then put It in the cellar. I have never to damp the moss after I put the celery away, and I have to-day as fine -elery as I can find in the country. You can get the moss from any ordinary marsh. Mr. Gilchrist Was that celery that dr. Wellington put in the cellar blanched? Mr. Wellington It was only about half blanched when it was dug and put in the moss. Mr. Gilchrist I think a great many make a mistake in blanching their cel ery before putting it away. Mr. Rose What temperature do you keep your cellar at? Mr. Wellington I have An ordinary cellar such as we have in cities; a good sized cellar. I keep it as cool as pos sible without letting frost in. Mr. Gray Mr. Rose spoke of a per son who is a very successful grower of celery in the town of Woodstock: Mr. Trickey is his name. I asked him the other day how he kept it Ho tays he does not make much out of it through the summer, but in the winter. He takes up his celery and a great deal of it is quite unblanched. He raises it with as much dirt on the roots as will remain on It takes It into the root house, and packs It close together standing perpendicular. He says that celery keeps without any difficulty v "-atever, and continues to blanch and grow. I do not think he puts any soil or moss around it; only packs it close together, and uses It as he wants It Mr. Wellington I just pack the moss at the bottom, for an Inch or two up. Mr. Goldie That plan would hardly suit the large growers. The way they commonly do in New Jersey, and I think about New York, too, is to dig a trench and stick It in as closely as they can without putting any earth in at all, and then cover it over with hay that is taken off the salt meadows. They can then pick it out at any time during the winter. I think the way Mr. Wellington mentions would be the best for small families. Mr. Woodward I have a different way ef keeping celery from any I have heard mentioned. I need to pack it in sand in boxes. Then I got to packing It with moss. For the last few years I have taken shoe-boxes and made the bottom of them water-tight for about two or three laches up. I have then bored holes ia the boxes so as to be snre sever to have water come above that I lift the'celery with a moderate ameuBt of soil sticking to it, set it ia the hexes m end, and put a little water la so as to paddle the earth. I then set the boxes oa top of each other, aad take the celery out for use as I re quire It I had soaw of it for my break fast yesterday morning, aad nobody could have asked for better. The secret for growing celery is to have the ground rich and keep it damp. Mr. Beadle I like best the variety of celery that is sometimes called the Prince of Wales sometimes called the Sandringham dwarf. I think that is the sweetest and nuttiest celery I have tried. .

The biggest mule deal that ever took place in this country occurred at Salt Lake City in 1860, when at public auction Ben Holliday bought from Uncle Sam 4,500 head of big stout Iowa and Mis souri mules, says an exchange. These fine hybrids had been taken to Utah in the famous expedition against the Mormons, which crossed the plains in 1857 under command of Albert Sidney Johnson. When the expedition proved a fizzle and had been recalled, the gov ernment found it had no use for so many mules and they were consequent ly condemned and ordered sold. They were put on in blocks of 50 and sold at prices ranging from $50 to $100 a head. Ben Holliday had the stun to pay for the stubtails and seeing a spec ulation in them he took the whole cav allard at his own price. On the first day of June the mules were started on a drive to California. They were driven in bands of 500, a week apart, and only 500 were kept in Utah for sale there. The mules were readily sold in California in lots to suit purchasers at the average price of $500 apiece and Holliday cleaned up more than $1,000, 000 on the dicker, which goes down in history as the biggest mule deal on record. nog Beat Doc. About February, 1892, my wife said to me, I want a pig, says a correspond- ent of Stock Journal. I am feeding three or four worthless dogs for yoo. and the boys, and I would much rather feed a pig for myself. I tried to im press upon her the idea that the pig would be the source of more annoy ance than profit. I thought, as she made no reply, that she had abandoned the Idea of keeping a pig. I knew, however, that she had the peculiar knack of carry infg her point, and was not surprised a few days later on dis covering in the back yard a diminu tive pig in a chicken's coop. I said nothing, but kept an eye on the pig. It soon outgrew its narrow limits, and I built it a comfortable sty. Though my wife never called on me for more than one bushel of corn, that pig by December turned the scales at 400 pounds. The worthless dogs are no longer on the farm, but there are three pigs in the sty that will pan out from 800 to 1,000 pounds of pork, besides Td and sausage galore. The Ram. The ram Is half the flock. Is a com mon expression. Do not let it be the wrong half says Wool Markets and Sheep. With the large number of high class breeders of all breeds of sheep there Is no reason why a useful ram cannot be bought for comparatively lit tle more than mutton price, and such a ram is more likely to effect good than one which is rather better in appear ance, but carelessly bred. A ram from a good flock carries with it the feat ures of the flock, although in itself it may not be one of the best representa tives, and It will Impart no worse feat ures than it shows outwardly. On the other hand, a ram bred crooked, al though in itself showing good size and type, is more or less an accident, and cannot be relied upon to breed straight; any of the features of its mongrel an cestors may be reproduce and when there is no fixity of type in the sheep Itself It cannot be expected to Impart definite character to its offspring. It is for this reason that it is recognized that the first cross between two pure breeds is always gol, combining the better features of both breeds, while second crosses produce stock of very varying type. When this goes on for three or four crosses there is no de finite type, and the offspiing is a mon grelit may be a good mongrel, but It can only be relied upon to beget mon grels, and they probably may not rar take of his good features." CalttratlcQ Preserves the Melstare. That cultivation of the upper crust of the soil tends to prevent evaporation of the moisture below, is a fact that every practical farmer is well aware of, writes F. C. Barker in Irrigation Age. It is daily being proved in actual practice, but the scientific theory upon which this phenomenon is based is lit tle understood. Men will tell you it is so, but why, they do not understand. Now, it is well known that the soil is composed of innumerable and Infinite ly small particles. When the soil is dry each little particle is surrounded by a vacuum or air space. Whenever the particles come ia contact with moisture, they have the power of at tracting that moisture and of sur rounding themselves with a thin film of-water. The particles next to the water 'first draw the water around themselves, then the dry particles next to them in turn attract it, and so a continuous stream is set up, much in the same way that a wick of a lamp draws up the olL This goes on until the whole body of soil is saturated, but as soon as the water reaches the particles on the surface of the soil, this water is evaporated, and the sup- ply below Is again drawn Bfoa, aatl the water stored below is se eThaasted er left at such a depth that the Ale tance overcomes the power ef attrac tion, and the soil becomee caaaletel dry. This is the process which goet oa in uncultivated soil. The object ol cultivation is to break up this attrac-, tioB, usually called capillary attrac tion, in the upper crust and so prevent the moisture from being brought to thf surface and evaporated. To understand how this is done, one must take lata account another scientific fact, and that is, that if these little particles In the soil be widely separated from each oth er they lose their power of attraction. ; Now, when the top crust of the soil is loosened and reduced to a fine tilth, these particles lie less closely togethei and d" not attract moisture from be low. The moisture now rises as high as the upper tilth, and there remains to a much longer extent than la the case of untitled soil, for, owing to the blanket or mulch of loose' soil on tht top, the soil below the surface is muck less exposed to the action of evapora tion. Some cf our farmers here are unwilling to accept the above theory, alleging that adobe or clay soil, that has never been cultivated for years, will have more moisture below than cultivated soil. If this be so, the fact does not clash with the theory of par ticle attraction. On such soil the top surface has been packed down so close ly that the surface is practically pud died. In which case the attractive pow er of the particles is destroyed. It is the same as though the surface were covered with a large rock or a board, whereby the evaporation were sus pended. Every one knows that moist ure may almost always be found un der a large rock. The idea is to cover the soil with something that will sus pend the attractive power of the soil particles and retard evaporation. Here in lies the whole secret of why land should be cultivated after each irriga tion or heavy rainfall if the farmer wishes to conserve the moisture In the OF LLANGATTOCK, MONMOUTH, soil. There tis also another and very important reason why crops should be cultivated after each irrigation: The roots of plants require air quite as much as they do water, and when the soil becomes packed or plastered down by irrigation the roots do not get a full supply of air unless this surface crust is broken up. Feedlag Cattle oa Grass. A writer in the American Cultivator says on this subject: "One of the largest feeders in our country prefers to have them on short pasture not too short, but medium as they will eat more corn and make better gains and a better quality of beef. A better plan than either summer or winter fatten ing, and one that is fast gaining friends with us, is as follows: Winter your yearlings or two-year-olds well, feed them corn in the spring until the grass is good and put them out on pasture in good condition, and in the fall Au gust or September commence feeding them corn and finish up in dry lot un til they are fully ripe. By this plan you get two or three hundred pounds of grass weight, which is much cheap er than grain, and you have the ad vantage of the best season of the year for lot feeding. The gain that a steer will make on full feed and pasture is from 90 to 110 pounds per month on an average, while the same animal on good pasture will make a gain of from 60 to 90 pounds per month. There is not enough difference between grain fed cattle on grass and those on grass alone to justify feeding grain in sum mer, unless in finishing or commencing a bunch of steers. If a person would take half the grain and feed in the spring berore the grass came and then take the other half and feed in the fall when pastures become short, that he would In feeding in winter or in sumirer on grass, there would be more profit There Is no better way to con vert our luxurious grasses and crops of grain into profitable 'a3f than to take the best of care of our cattle from calfhood up, never allowing them to go back or stand :ill, but keep them moving right along until ready to fat ten. Feed twenty-five bushels of grain in the spring and turn out on good pasture, and finish in the fall with grain well ripened, and you should have from 1,300 to 1,600-pound cattle that will command top prices. The cattle business has been on the "rag ged edge" for the last two or three years, just as the great depression in the hog market was for some time back, but a few months ago the tide turned and now that animal Is looked upon with favor. It Is estimated by some of our practical feeders that in' this country alone there was not less than $20,000 lost In feeding cattle last winter, while the breeder only received a fair profit for raising them. We think the dawn of a brighter day is at hand: the tide has already turned la favor of the cattle owner nd especial ly for the one that has good stuff. Al though many have gone out of the business and disposed of their stock at a sacrifice, keeping the price low for so long, it will be the stayers that will win in the end." Butter for Britain. Last year the United Kingdom imported butter to the value of over $5,000,000 per month. For the first eight months of the year her exact expenditures for butter were $46,043,572.12. Of this amount the United States received the magnificent total of less than 1 per cent exactly $365,970.53. When It is remembered that we are within seven days of the English market and have low rates and refrigerator facilities in the steamers, this is a poor showing. A MODEST HERO. Ctedw See a Recently In Gloucester. Mass., a ember ef the Free Press staf became scqualated with Cast Blckford. whose experiences as first gunner on he Kear sarge in the celebrated engagement with the Alabama are of considerable Interest. The captain is now residing In the eld ashing town. He wears a medal, one of the few presented by Uncle Sam to his brave sailors in th war, upon which appears words show tag that It Is a testimonial for valor performed In the noteworthy engage ment This batle royal took place on Sanday, June 19, 1864. The armament of the Kearsarge was seven guns and that of the Alabama eight guns, includ ing a 100-pound Blakely rifle. The Kearsarge had 1 men and the Ala bama 149. This was the most import ant sea fight of-the war between two ships, the Alabama being sunk afteran engagement lasting sn hoar and twenty minutes. But three men were wounded on the Kearsarge. It Is tradition at Gloucester that Capt Blckford received his medal for throwing overboard one of the enemy's shells which lighted upon the deck of the Kearsarge. The captain was asked about this and laughed heartily. "Throw a shell overboard?" he re peated. "Now that is good. Yet I have read about such things in books writ ten about sea-fights and histories of heroic deeds furnished to children in schools, but I think such a thing is im possible. In the first place, a shell is timed to explode in a certain brief In terval, a fraction of a second after striking. In the next place a -ell Is a very heavy article to handle. Did you ever try to lift one? If you have you won't believe all that is said about peo ple throwing an enemy's shell over board. "Suppose a shell rested on the deck, how long do you think it would wait for a man to come and pick It up, stag ger to the side beneath its weight, and then heave it out into the ocean? By the time he took three steps toward It, off it would go. He had better jump overboard himself and let the shell take care of itself." "What did you get the medal for, Captain?" "Dunno; never found out. It wasn't for heaving shells overboard, though. That would make a nice story to tell landsmen, but a sailor aboard a man-of-war would have his own opinio about the yarn." THE LOST FOUND. Rasaswr Was Right, hat the Trjasoas Was Tamed. If any one had told him he was drunk he would not have resented It but would have made an effort to re tain his equilibrium and dignity long enough to explain that he was only a little oozy woozy. He realized that he lived at 206 Irvlngton street, and that bis residence was on the right hand side as he wobbled along homeward. The uncertain light of early dawn, combined with the blear in his eyes, rendered It necessary for him to stop in front of every house and gravely brace himself against the railings until he could focus his eyesight on the num ber. Finally he identified his house, but after arguing with himself for a couple of minutes he came to the con clusion that he was just woozy enough to make mistakes possible, so as to be absolutely certain he balanced himself against the front fence and studied the number on the transom. Instead of 206 he saw 509. Then he wondered how it happened that he had got on the wrong side of the street and three blocks too far out, made a sigzag across the street and started back, and before he had walked three blocks he came to the end of the street The weary pil grim was bewildered. He couldn't un derstand it, but getting his directions, shaped his course in the street on the right side and kept on until he came to 509 again. He studied it from every possible point of view, even trying to stand on his head to read it, but It per versely remained 509. Utterly bewildered he sat down on the Bteps and waited till a policeman came along. "I'm loeht," he explained. "I wanter go ter 206 Irvlngton street" "This is the place right here," de clared the policeman. "Can't be. This is 509." "No, it ain't it's 206. but the tran som is turned over." The lost was found.

The popularity of tulle this summer had many good results, among which is that it was possible to appear to have a constant variety of fresh and dainty hats at the minimum of outlay.
