BIanchIug Celery.

We copy the following from the Card
aer's Chronicle, that our readers may
give it a trial during the autumn The
American Farmer suggests another sub.
stance for packing celery in during win.
ter, which it has found very successful
when used for beets, parsnips, turnips
etc 1t alludes to fine moss, pulverized
if necessary, such as nursery men use
for packing plants. 1t is lighter cleaner
and more easily handled than sawdust
The Gqrdner'S Chronicle says
Having had some trouble in keeping late
celery from rotting in a new kitchen gar.
den, where the soil was very retentige and
damp, and the plants earthed up in the
usual manner l have since used saWdust
for the purpose, and find that it answers
perfectly. Last winter all the late celer V
was earthed up in sawdust and it kept
quite sound till April, and no slugs or in
sects attacked it under ground, the heads
being very solid, clear and crisp, and well
favored. / had some doubts that the saw
dust from the resinous tree might give the
celery a disagreeable flavor, but on trial /
found this not to be the case, and the saw
dust is now taken indiscriminately from
the sawpits where different kinds of trees
are sawn up. Before the late severe frost
occurred in October, / had Just finished the
earthing up of all the late celery with saw
dust, and / find it Is now wonderfully fresh,
the frost not having penetrated far through
the surface 20 the hearts.

Potatoes for stock.

Potatoes, if fed to cattle or horses ju.
diciously, promote health ard benefit
their own condition One theory de-
MED to potatoes any fattening qualities
Experiment and practice prove that they
do fatten swine, horses and cattle. Years
ago we remember to have read the high
estimate placed upon Irish pork in the
English markets. About the same time
there was a controversy between the
chemists and eminent practical farmers
relative to their fattening property
Chemists denied them this power. Farm
ers pointed to the physique of the Irish,
and to their pork in the English markets,
both potato~fattened Latterly chemists
have grown wiser, but American farmers
do not place their estimate Of the value
Of this esculent as an article of food
for stock as high as they should 1t
were more profitable if more were fed to
stock, cooked or otherwise Do so even
if you have plenty Of hay and straw
the more need Of change.

The Cultivation of Rhubarb

The soil intended for new plantation of
rhubsrb should be deeply TILED and well
manfred. Some culturists of this excel
lent vegetable trench the soil two spades
deep, and the return they get fully repays
for the additional labor and expense The
Western Rural says it is better to prepare
the ground for this crop in the fall than in
the spring, for there is generally more time
for doing the work properly during the
former season. The plants may be set out
as soon as the leaves have fallen, the stools
being divided SO as to leave only one or
two strong buds on each bunch of roots.
Great improvements have been effected
in the size and quality of rhubarb during
the last thirty years. The first remarkable
one was made by Mr.. Wyatt, of Deptford
England. and wherever rhubarb is cult
waited for culinary purposes "Myatt's Vic
toria" is known and highly esteemed, be.
ing Of immense size, good flavor, and great
produoiiveness. Ii has some imperfections,
such as q thick skin, a supersbundance of
acid, and il is somewhat later than other
varieties.
Mr.. Charles Downing, Of NeWburg, origi-
mated q variety, called "Downing's Colos-
sal" which is an improvement on the Vic
toris. being fully equal to that variety in
size, less acid, and possessing a superior
flavor. Mr.. Wyatt succeeded in producing
a variety which surpasses both the Nicto-
ria and the Colossal. This he named the
"LinnRus," which is now very much Guilt
waited by market gardeners, and all persons
who require a heavy crop combined with
an excellent quality Of vegetable. The
skin Of the LinnRus is so thin that il is I'M
necessary TO remove il in cooking, and this
in itself is an important advantage.
Great damage is sometimes done TO the
roots Of rhubarb BY the careless manner IN
which the stalks are pulled for market or
domestic use. In taking of stalk roughly,
a considerable part Of the crown is some
times fractured, or removed altogether. A
careful person should always be employed
TO gather rhubarb, as by little dexterity
in moving the leaf from side 10 side, and
pulling gradually, il viii come away with
ont inluring the crown. 1t IL a very in
FURIOUS practice TO continue pulling of the
leaves as fast as they appear, for by so doing
the roots are prevented from extending
ana laying up store Of ingredients for
the future season. A sufficient number 81
plants should be provided to admit Of let
ting some Of them have rest while others
are being used. If this is not done. strong.
healthy plants cannot be grown.
Inyoung orchards which have been pro-
perry deepened and MANFRED for the recep-
uon Of fruit trees, rhubsrb may be grown
Tor several years without any damage to
the trees The large leaves keep the ground
