beds with about four inches of manure.
A good many varieties are advertised.
with but little difference.
CELERY.-To obtain good celery, it is
necessary that the plants should be strong
and well grown. Sow the seeds in
hot-bed, or cold frame. When the
plants are about three inches in height,
transplant to a nicely prepared bed, in
the border, setting them about four or
five inches apart. When about six inch
es, and good stocky plants, set them in
the trenches-about the middle of July
is early enough. Too many make trench
es by digging out the top soil, and only
putting few inches of mold at the bot
tom, and never obtain good celery. The
trenches should contain at least eighteen
inches of good soil and well-rotted ma
nure, in about equal portions. Take off
all suckers and struggling leaves at the
time of transplanting. Earth up little
during the summer, keeping the leaf
stalks close together, so that the soil can
not get between them and during Sep
tember and October, earth up well for
blanching. Those who grow celery for
market extensively, do not use trenches,
but make the soil deep and rich, and
plant in rows, earthing up with the
plough. Take up the plants late in the
fall, Just before winter sets in. A little
may be placed in the cellar, covered with
sand or earth, for immediate use. The
best way of keeping is to dig a trench
about foot wide, deep enough to stand
the stalks of celery erect, leaving the
tops foot below the surface. Place
them in this trench, without crowding
then cover with boards and plenty of
leaves and straw. This can be opened
any time during the winter, commencing
at one end, and removing enough to the
cellar to last a week.

No LOWER DEEp.-When Charles
Anderson, ex-governor of Ohio, was
about to leave Texas, in 1861, having
been engaged there some years in stock
raising. he was arrested on his way to
Brownsville by the Confederate authori-
ties, TO be held us a prisoner of war
Just before starting to return TO San
Antonio, seeing something wrong with
the feet of one of his mules, Anderson
stepped from his ambulance and attempt
ing to take hold OF the mules lcg. receiv-
ed Il severe kick. To this he apparently
paid no attention, and met with no fur
ther accident until just as he was enter
ing the prison camp on the Solado he
drove over a dog, which yelped terribly.
The Governor had a remarkable fond
ness for dogs and horses, which led him
again t" dismount, to see if the brute
was badly hurt. Endeavoring to soothe
him, the dog bit his hand. Raising him
self, with voice husky with disgust and
anger, he shouted: "Andcrson's luck :.

BEST Cow FOR GENERAL Use
What is the best kind of COW for me to
keep" asks 4 suburban friend, 1.-The OBJ
ject being to get good rich milk without
special regard to quantity ~ 1t would
seem an easy matter TO answer such 4
question ; and, indeed, | replied at once
''Alderney.' But further conversation
led me TO the conclusion that the Alder
ney, instead of being the best, would be
one of the worst cows, for my friend to
buy. In the first place, he could keep
but one COW and in the second, he
wanted milk every day in the year. In
such circumstances no other plan can be
adopted except to buy milch cow and
keep her as long as she gives the requisite
amount of milk then sell her and buy
another. A grade Devon would perhaps
be the best of all cows for such purpose,
she gives rich milk, and with liberal feed
ing, would steadily improve in condition,
and could be sold to the butcher for as
much as she cost. l have known a COW
of this kind to give milk every day for
five years, and then be worth for beef
good deal more than she cost.-AmeI7caH

TIE THERMOMETERS R.-Thermometer is

THE THERMOME'rER- R-Thcrmometer is
a Greek word, and means heat-measure.
Mr. Fahrenheit, who invented the kind
of thermometer which is used in this
country and in England. lived in q warm
er climate than ours. He never breathed
the keen air of a zero-cold morning: but
he knew what the boys and girls who
make ice-cream know SO well-that "A
mixture of snow and salt or pounded ice
and salt, is much colder than ice or snow
alone. Indeed, he thought that such
mixture was SO cold that there could not
possibly he any heat in it at all. So he
concluded that the temperature of this
mixture would be good starting-point
from which to mark off the scale of his
thermometer. Putting the bulb into the
snow and salt, he marked the point to
which the mercury, which fills the tube,
fell, (cipher), zero, nothing: because,
as before said, he thought the amount Of
heat was nothing. But had he lived in
our cold New England, instead of Ger
many, he would have found, perhaps to
his sorrow, that our wintry air is often
colder than his ice and salt. Then, if
the air is ever colder than this mixture,
it follows that there must be some heat in
the ice and salt to make it warmer than
the air. So Mr.. Fahrenheit was mis-
taken about his zero's expressing, as he
intended it should, no heat. Indeed,
chemists tell us that, by an experiment
which they know how to perform, they
can produce degree of cold compared
with which FahreGheit's zero is quite
hot.-Om Boys and Girls

Ashes for Fruit Trees.

''In your paper Of Jan. Both l saw All
article from the Maine Farmer, from
subscriber asking how he may remedy
the bitter rot in his apples, and what
course he should pursue to get good, sound
fruit
Some ten years ago l came in posses
sion of a large farm on which stood
large apple tree, which was at that time
about sixty years old, according to the
tradition Of the fathers which bore i
few bushels of small, scurvy, bitter rot
apples every other year. Having read
that ashes was good for fruit trees, l
spread some five or six bushels of strong
house ashes under the tree in the spring.
That season the fruit was nearly double
that Of the previous year and the sec
ond year | gathered fifteen bushels of
smooth round apples from said tree. 1t
bears less fruit every other year but l
have not gathered less than fifteen bush
els every alternate year since L spread
the ashes under the tree. | have used
ashes as a top dressing for fruit trees
every year since, with very nearl Y the
same results.-JOna Laurence IN UIatch-

Two OF TIE TOUGHEST LOCAL YARNS
ON RECORD.-The Berkshire Eagle says :
A man in Beckett, while in the woods
for timber, had the misfortune TO ''lodge''
a tree, and in order to get it down hitch
ed his oxen so the butt and made them
pull. The tree fell into the fork of an
other near by, when the top over-bal-
ancing, the other end was jerked twenty
feet high i'll the air carrying the oxen
with ii, where they remained suspended in
imminent danger of being choked to
death. Perceiving the tree to be very
nearly poised, the man attempted to drag
them down by the tails, but one of these
failing, he had recourse to fifteen foot
pole, with which by reaching up to the
tops he could SO raise it that the oxen's
hind feet could touch the ground, thus
enabling them to catch breath. Being
unable to sustain the top for any length
ot time, he adopted the see-saw motion,
causing the tree 10 vibrate up and down
often enough to give his cattle chance
for air. He continued this operation
four hours before aid arrived. He then
climbed up and out on the tree, cut off
twelve foot log, which falling released
the oxen, and he ''snaked it home with
out even unhitching. ."-Again the
same paper has a man near Stockbridge
who puts in the following evidence of
our very dry and cold weather: The
IIousatonic river being strongly frozen
over. and the water having fallen away
from beneath the ice, left the latter sus-
pended above the stream to such AZ ex-
tent that man went under it with rod
and line, tished for more than half an
hour and came out dry shod, with about
two bushels of suckers,

true, and yet it does not follow he should
