Although it is a little early, perhaps,
" to speak of autumn modes, still it may
bea relief to learn that the short, fall
', basqued coat has departed. A more
trying and unbecoming mode never
came into vogue; the slight, lissom
, American figure never seemed capable
'. of adapting itself to the perky little
. '' extension, and we shall all welcome
with joy the longer and more graceful
0 ly defined shaping, although the in
creased length will not be apparent for
' .some time, probably, except in so far
. as the decreased width will tend to
, ward the effect. It is rumored from re-
liable quarters that tight-fitting coats
are to be pressed into service again.
There is something so eminently nea
, a trim and stylish about these shapely
.' garments, virtues entirely lacking in
"' the loose-fronted, short coats of the
J past year. The small sleeve, too, will
help considerably toward the compact,
well set-up appearance beloved of the
American woman, and in which she
has no rival.

HIS subject was
discussed at a meet
ing of Canadian
farmers, as fol

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

muck down a foot and a half to two
feet In some places and he grows on
that year after year the most magnifi
cent and succulent celery it was ever
anybody's pleasure to eat He grows
it in large quantities, and I presume
there is no town that has enjoyed bet
ter celery than the Woodstock people
have for the last few years from that
place. 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.

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."

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."

"Naw," growled Johnnie, "I didn't
git nothin to eat but a sandwich and a

sprinkled over 'em."
"Why, what became of the beautiful
chocolate cake and chicken salad that
I sent?"
"The superintendent and teacher?

A Northers man traveling through
Missouri on horseback arrived at the
bank of the river. There was no way
to cross the river except by swimming;
so, dismounting, he tied his clothes to
the horse, -and drove the horse into the
river, swimming after him. Resohing
the other side he dressed and contiu
ed on his way. Before going twenty
feet, however, he came to the forks of
the road, and looked around for a sign.
There was none; but just across the
river, near the spot where he entered
to swim across the river,he saw a board
nailed on a tree. There was nothing
to do but recross again and read that
sign. He swam across, and after
climbing up the bank, read the follow
ing notice: "Five dollars fine for cross
ing this bridge faster than a walk."

Refurbishing Hats.
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. Koon
ings are not difficult to make and they
form the favorite style of trimming
just now. Tulle strings are being
worn with all sorts of headgear, and
instead of tying with a bow, form a
large chou under the chin, quite the
size of a peony. Tulle looks so soft
and pretty to the face that old women
and young as well as those that are
neither, are fascinated by its possibili
ties; moreover! it is very cheap. Tulle
and a few roses will garnish a dainty
chapeau this week, that with a change
of colors and of flowers next week will
prove quite unrecognizable.

Aa English Cora Salad.
An adaptation of an English corn
salad made by a celebrated English
cook consists of "the sweet corn cut
from the cob and boiled until tender in
a little water, milk, salt pepper and
butter. Drain the corn and set on ice
until very cold and serve with a sauce
made in the following manner: Mix
the yolks of three eggs with one-fourth
of a pint of olive oil, and add to it one
half teaspoonful of English mustard, a
tablespoonful of tarragon vinegar, a
dozen raw oysters cut fine and rubbed
through a puree seive, a dash of papri
ka, a slice of onion chopped very fine
and a gill of cream whipped until stiff.

The judgment of men is not apt to be
warped by sentiment and feeling. In
Scotland the people abominated hymns
simply because the Episcopalians used
stained glass in their windows and for
that reason the Scotch looked upon
stained glass as something of unholy
origin.

Dr. S. Weir Mitchell has for many
months been gathering material for
his romance, "Hugh Wynne, Free
Quaker," which is to be the leading
senal of The Century during the com
ing year. The novel is a story of the
revolutionary war and of Philadelphia
society during the period from 1753 to
1783. The historical society of Phila
delphia gave Dr. Mitchell free access
to its great collection of family letters,
deposited in its fireproof rooms by near
ly all the older.Phitadelphia families
the Shippens, McKeans, Logans, etc
Among these family archives, with
their intimate revelations, and in the
old gazettes, Dr. Mitchell found much
of his material, lie also visited and
studied all the localities of his story
except Yorktown.

the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, .to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali

all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
-and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best and with the

The October number of Harper's Mag

Mr. dn Maarier's long-expected novel.
"The Martian." The opening scenes
are laid ia a boy's school ia Paris ia the
early fifties, and the hero is introduced
at the very beginaiag ot ais career.
From this fact and from the hist con
veyed ia the introduction it seems not
unlikely that Mr. du Maurier, follow
ind the example of Fielding and Thack
erary, will attempt ia "The Martian"
to portray the character of a man ia
the same catholic spirit ia which "Tom
