Medicinal Properties Of Celory.

n correspondent Of the Practical
Farmer says: ! have many men,
and women, too, who, from various
causes, had become so much affect
ed with nervousness that when they
stretched out their hands they shook
like aspen leaves on windy days;
and by daily moderate use Of the
blanched foot stalks of the celery
leaves as salad, they become as
strong and steady in limbs as other
people. I have known others so
very nervous that the least annoy
ance put them in Il state of agita-
ton, who were in almost constant
perplexity and fear, aad who were
effectually cured by daily moder-
ate use of blanched celery as sal
ad at meal time. l have known 9TH
ers cured by using celery for palpi-
tation of the heart.

ransplantatiOno Of Trees and Plants

On this topic the Scientific inner
lean says: Vegetable life depends
as much on vital functions for pres
ervation as animal life. But the
way trees are treated ordinarily, in
their removals from one location to
another, indicates very limited
knowledge of the physiological
laws.
Plants repose at night like
higher organizations, waking in the
sunlight of morning invigoratcd and
refreshed. Through the long, te-
dious months of winter, they sleep
profoundly. While the leaves are
green and vigorously performing a
series Of labors, preparations are
made for a coming season of cold,
snow, ice, and other influences
which reduce the vital force to the
lowest point without destroying it.
That is the best time in the life ola
tree for transplanting it. That bus
mess is admirably managed in
France. They don't think of wait
ing for a mere stick to grow into a
broad, spreading tree. No, they
select splendidly developed trees,
with waving branches, and place
them where their grand appearance
will be admired.
In the squares Of New York the
park Commissioners arc pursuing
the proper and only promising plan
Of success, by bringing in from the
country well-grown trees, dug up
out of the frozen ground, with all
the roots covered with two or three
feet of the earth in which they
grew. Being set out in their new
positions, the cardinal bearings be-
ing the same, in the spring they
will rouse up like refreshed labor
ers, and bud and blossom like they
did before. That is the true sys-
TEN. 1t may be accomplished at
any period, if the roots are not in
jured or exposed, but clothed, thick
ly and securely, with their own at
tached soil. Never cut off limb
or twig until they have secure
foothold. Leaves are the breathing
organs of trees. Most persons make
4 fatal mistake in trimming trees
when transplanted. They die be-
cause they cannot breathe, oxygen
being thrown off and carbon alb
sorbed from the atmosphere.

Farming in Iowa.

Does it pay to farm in Iowa? is q
question materially affecting the in
tcrests of the State as we'll as those
who are, or may become, tillers of
Iowa soil. No answer should be
given to this important question,
except with a due regard to estab,
lishcd principles involved therein
In this article we shall only state a
few propositions bearing upon the
question, hoping hereafter to pre-
sent facts and figures to substantiatc
them.
Iowa is peculiarly favorable to
agriculture in all of its branches;-
is well supplied with railroads, and
is located between the two great
rivers of the continent. Therefore
farming in Iowa can and should be
made to pay, and pay well. Were
we to ask some closcd-up manu-
facturer in Massachusetts why his
institution was not running, he
would probably reply that it did not
pay. But why SO foolish as to say,
for that reason, that manufacturing
in Massachusetts does not pay?
1t is clearly upon such false prem
ises that here and there we hear
some one declare farming in Iowa
don't pay"
Farming in this State does pay;
and IN addition to glaring facts,
we venture the declaration upon
the truthiulness of these PROPOSE.
tons:
]. The crops produced are great
or in proportion to the price of land
and expense of tilllagc than in any
other State in the Union.
>. The market value Of land in
this State has Il larger per cent. an
nual increase than is recorded of
any other State.
Granting-to suit the onc-idea
man-that it would not pay to raise
corn in this State for the Eastern
market, if all the farmers in the
West raised nothing but corn, still
it does not prove farming unprofita-
able, for in stock, grain and fruit
raising there are so many branches
that no intelligent farmer need fail
Of profitable returns.
Farming in this State will pay
better than throughout the East,
if for five, or even ten years, no
more should be produced than
would pay current expenses. With
in that time the value of the land
itself would be comfortable for
tune. We shall say more on this
subject hereafter.

a correspondent of the Maine
Farmer declares that he "has prov
ed by actual experiment that one
hundred weight Of good hay is equal
to a bushel Of corn, and that, conse.
quently, that a man makes mistake
who sells ton Of hay for less than
the value of twenty bushels of corn
in the same market" Very much
would depend upon the quality OF
the hay as to its value for food com.
