The Now Celery Cultaro,
Eds. Comity frentleman-•-;.;inee
the practice of the old plan of growe
ing celery in trenches, there has
been an evolution in method, and
than which has been Involved, the
"New Celery Culture" is the "plan of
setting,
the plants from tto 12 inches
lc$
apart each way. One can readily
imagine how the departure fl'oan the
old orthodox plan has been made.
The old way of digging trenches for
celery, then getting down into theist
to set the plants, or to hoc them Or
uncover thein after a heave ruin,.
banking the plants to the tops with
soil, and then digging theme out of
the bottom of the trench when Wane -
ad, required so much work that some
one ventured to try the experiment
of setting the plants on the surtavt
of the ground. Ile found that the
plants gam jest as well, but the
Outside stalk would lop over; so he
drew some soil around them to keep
thein upright, and thus urghlated
the new plan. But the labor of
banning when grown on the surface.
WaS too great, and two boards wore
set on each side of the plants. This
was found to work so well with some
varieties that all earthing up was
dispensed with,
A further discovery was made—
that some of the pietas would blanch
Sooner than others. The seed was
saved each year, and a new type,
called "self bita'ihing," was estableal-
ed; the two most promisee varieties
+taf which are the White Plantes and
Golden Self -blanching. These varie-
ties made possible a still further
advance in celery cultare,. They
were so easily blanched that it
.were
to some one to get the plants
so close together that they would
blanch by their own shade, and so
grow three or four times more on
the ground than could be grown by
the old way.
About two years ago I read the
book by T, Greiner, entitled the
New Celery Culture. This gave ine
some new ideas, and as an experi-
ment I set about ten square feet
with „celery• -plants• -abode 8.-i::elies
...spirt each way. This plot was
located where the sewer pipe from
..the hoose emptied on tale garden,
and it was therefore kept moist dur-
ing the whole season. The result
was about 200 bunches of very good
celery. A little figuring showed me
that at this rate I could grow some-
thing like 85,000 plants on an acre;
but I did not propose to set an acre
until I had farther experiment-
ed.
The next year I set about four
(quare rods with early and late
-celery, requiring about 5,000 plants.
I °worked in about all the stable
manure to the sail I could, set the
plants ti by 12 inches, and cultivated
filets one Way with as wheel boe.
They grew rapidly to 8 to 10 inelies
- when their growth almost ceased for
want• of water, and I found even
'atrith heavy rains the supply of water
in the soil not sufficient for the
growth of the plants with the mass
of roots which completely occupied
the ground. A droutli followed late
in the summer which made matters
still worse. During the days the
planes would wilt and droop to the
ground. I watered a portion of the
plat and this started the plants
growing. The remainder did not
cotnteence to grow until the rains
came in the fall. Perhaps half of
the plants grew to the marketable
size and the rest were made
marketable by tying two or three
together.
I found the shade afforded by set-
t, ting the White Mame celery so close
together partly blanched it, bat not
1 sufficiently for ]market, but I manag-
ed to get some boards between it
, and blanched a portion of it. The
zrenitienflel• was taken up and blanch-
ed iri the cellar.
From the whole plot of not over
four aeluare rods I realized something
over $50. The eelery was sold at
from 2' to 5e, per bunch.
leroni these experiments 1 learned
that the, main difficulties in the way
of growing celery for market accord-
• ing to this plan are in supplying the,
water required for so many plants,
and blanching them.
From experiments already Inade I
think 1 eau overcome the first diffi-
culty. After the plants had grown
t 6o It height of fl or N inrhes,1 would
bath theist between the rows With
t lt.f l
1111,1111,11,; t c1 front some zy a1
able source I would bring water to -
keep the ground wet. '111e niuleh•
ing 5vtxrlft retain the moisture and
keep the stl.rfatce from liaising, and
the water would make the plant food
in it salable. T.vi celery plant is
nearly all dater, and to obtain the
water and get it into the plant is the
problem fur celery growers.
Now as to blanching celery when
grown so eloso together. -1 have
saute sante experiment itl digging it
up when fully grown, and packing
it in rows 10 ur 12 Welles wide with
boards between, then placing some
hose among the foots, then turn on
the water, and keep the roots eon -
saintly wet and and the stalk and
leaves dry. The celery will blench
fit for use in two or three weeks. • If
more convenient, a dark shed could
be built for early celery near by,
and filled several times during the
season,
Something like 85,000 plants per
acre cern be grown in this way, and
at the regalerwholes ale price of 21..
cents, would amount to over $2000.
Where there is a good market and
lance is scarce and high the "New
Celery Culture" is worth a trial, and
there are great possibilities for those
who will farther develop and jtu- i
prove upon what has already been
learned .• W. i3. ,JEames.•

I CIIURCH OF THE ASCENSION
pedigree ornone at all. She is the
cow to purchase. Do not start in
with the notion that all thorough-
breds are bovine saints and all natives
scrubs. The thoroughbred scrub,
incl unfortunately there arc many of
them; is the meanest scrub. This is
in no wise said to the detriment of
breeds or of breeding, but an the
contrary, emphasizes the Net that in
our breeding there must be constant
selection and improvement. Among
the 250 cows in the herds examined by
the Storrs experiment station, it was
found. that the eow having the
largest milk flow and produein,; the
greatest weight of butter fat was a
native or scrub eow. That this
was the case sloes not in any way
imply Chet it would be desirable to
raise animals without pedigree, but
it emphasizes the i'aet that if a
farmer will select the best of his
cows for breeding purposes, oven if
they are serabs, and employ first
class animals for sires, it is not only
possible, but practieal, to raise a herd
equal to the best registered animals,
for milk and butter. Such selected
stock will usually be found better
than the original.

Th,e Kind of Cow for Profit.
Only three classes of cows can be
kept for protit---tile fancy stock for
beef, the great milker, and the butter
cow. The cheese cow we used to
hear about, and the general purpose
cow, belong to an extinct variety,
whish never existed other than in
the imagination of their owners. To
have a cow for profit we must breed
with the one purpose in view. If,
fatacy beef cattle are wanted, breed
front the class best adapted for that
purpose, .incl breed for that purpose
alone. If large milkers are desired,
select a breed for that purpose. If
butter is wanted, breed with that
idea in mind. Vol' beef, a perfeet
form and an animal that will put on
flesh rapidly and at an early age, is
to be sought, for. In this animal,
milk cannot be produced at a profit.
For utile:, a cow made for the busi-
ness --one that will turn her food

Keeping Shoed Too Warm.
Many farmers would fatten a few
sheep in the winter if they did not
have an idea that a basement barn
was essential to success in this
bueincss• The only advantage in a
basement for sheep is that their
fodder can be stored above and
thrown down to them through a
chute, As for the extra warmth of
the basement it is well enough for
other stock, but sheep do not need it.
A shed which will exclude rain and
snow is better tor ,them than to be
cooped up in a basement and lying
on the pile of bedding which they
are working into a manure pile, The
barn basement is necessary for those
who grow early lambs, brit for
other than breeding ewes it is no
advantage.

Taking ,one dairy with another
throughout the country, it is the ex-
ception rather than the rule to find
the cows regularly curried or groom-
ed; in fact many eows wonder what
had happened should they be given
a good combing down. Horses are
largely groomed to give them ap-
pearance, but the observing horse-
men eannot have failed to notice the
healthful benefits derived from keep-
ing the skins of their animals clean
and comfortable.
Horse -grooming is no mors impor
tent than is coy -grooming; and in
fact the latter is the more important
during the winter season, when tine
cows are milking, for the reason that
comfort is an important factor in
milk secretion. Not only that, but
absolute cleanliness in the dairy can -
no:, exist without regular eow card-
ing. It is an abominable fact that
soino people never enter a bath -tub
during the winter months, and the
reason that more of thein do not fall
victims to the disease is largely due
to the constant friction of their cloth-
ing against the skin to rub off the
effete material that is being continu-
ally exuded from the blood through
the pores, The cows -clothing does
not act thus, but rather hiniters the
removal of the scruff tiled exudate,
except she be fortunate enough to
come in contact with the side of a
strawstack, which is this season a
rare article..
Tho skin of an animal is an active
excreting agent, through the pores of
which a large quantity of used -up
matter is eliminated, most of which,
if not removed, will dry on the skin
covering and clogging the numerous
pores, and thus loading the system
with blood poison. By the daily use
of a stiff brash or currycomb the
skin is kept in healthy tone, the ani-
mals aro rendered comfortable if
other conditions are right, and filth
and falling hair is prevented from
finding its way into the milk pail.
Very many dairymen keep their cows
tied continuously through the great-
er part of the winter which makes
regular and careful grooming all the
more necessary, and what is true of
dairy cows, applies also to other
cattle.

Sheep vs. Dairy,
This is the way a Dakota farmer
puts the comparative profitableness
of sheep rearing and dairying: "My
neighbor last fall had seventeen ewes
and from these this spring he bad
twenty-nine lambs. He lost three
lambs and one ewe, so now he
has twenty-six lambs from seventeen
ewes, and he had 24 sheep to shear
altogether, the wool from which
brought him $10.40. Now, you can
estimate diose lambs e t the low figure
of $1.50, each this fall. Last fall
when sheek were the lowest I ever
knew them to be in this country, I
got $28.90 for sixteen spring Iambs.
Those sixteen Iambs at $1,50 each
would come to $49; the wool from
twenty-four sheep at. $10.40 makes a
total of $59.40. Now, those seventeen
ewes were worth about what two
ordinary cows were worth last fall,
and it takes an awful good dairy to
average $25 or •$35 a eow. Besides,
you have got to milk nine months in
the year, -.clean stables once a day
and feed twice: That flock ran oat
without anything whatever except a
little feed in the severest cold. weath-
er. And what that farmer did with
those twenty-four sheep there is no
fanner in Soath Dakota bat can do
equally as well with from 100 to 150
sheep,• -1 aren, Stock and Home,
