Raising Celery.

The successful raising of celery is one
of the most difficult things to achieve in
garden. culture. 1t requires nearly as
much attention as dollhouse grapes. The
failure IN raising this vegetable, which is
the rule, is mainly from neglect of Ger.
tain conditions. These are: 1. Trenches
should be dug from eight to ten inches in
depth in rich soil 2. The trenches
should be halftlled with halfrotted ma.
nure, mixed with the soil, in which the
plants should be well set down. 3. There
should he only a single row of plants in
stead of two or more, as is commonly the
case. H. The plants should be set out
from ten days to two weeks earlier than is
customary; that is to say for the first
crop the last week in June, and the rest
or the bulk of the crop in the first three
weeks in July Boards should be placed
over the rows to protect the plants against
the screenings Of the sun from ten to four
O'Clock until they have taken a firm grasp
of the earth and commenced growing;
they should be watered for some time,
in the absence of rain, twice
day, afterward once a day. After
growing about eight inches the earth
should be carefully drawn to the rows and
continued gradually as the growth pro
crosses. Manure-water is excellent, and
should be applied at least twice week
until the middle of October. Guano
water is the best.
in drawing the earth to the plants care
must he taken not to cover the leaders and
stunt the growth. Use the hand altogether
in distributing the soil about the plants
and releasing the leaves when covered.
Celery can be produced four feet in length
from the root to the top of the leaves by
good management, and we have so grown
it more than once upon our own premises.
Many persons cultivate celery in double
and triple rows. This does well enough
where ground is scarce, but where there IS
plenty of room single rows are decidedly
to be preferred, even though the plants are
set closer together than usual We shall
say something about keeping celery
through the winter when the proper time
arrives. -Germdntoun Telegraph.

Seed.Cleaning Experiments.

We have before us the results OF the
cleansing of barley and wheat by the ald
of one of the most perfect grain separators
we have ever seen-which we believe have
never before been published. The tirst
was bushel of barley, weighing torty-sX
pounds, which was separated with the lel,
lowing aesults, viz: From the bushel
twenty-eight pounds of plump seed barley
was obtained, thirteen pounds OF llght Dal,
lev and oats, three pounds of buckWnea'
and one pound of seeds OF weeds; Inc
second was a bushel of wheat weighing
fifty eight pounds, cleansed with the iol-
lowing results: From this bushel thirty
four pounds of No. l or heavy seed whea'
we're obtained, twelve pounds OF No. : OF
middling (Eght) wheat, SIX pounds OF No,
B wheat very small, pinched kernels anu
pink or cookie, five pounds OF oats any;
barley and one pound of tangle-Weed ana
other foul seeds.
As both the above samples OF gram
were taken from the ordinary crops grown
on a tirst-class farm, it will be seen nov
large proportion of poor, light graln' a.
well rs seeds of foul and noXious plans
were being raised and propagated Dy 'ile
use as seed of the barley and wheat ralseu.
Even if the oats and barley and "iiea.
were in every instance cleaned or washeu
before being sown-which, however y
not the case-the seeds of weeds are proP.
agatei through the manure hauled ou'
upon the land, and our fields are by unis
means overrun with useless plants anu
weeds. SO if the farmer would no' on:
raise profitable crops of heavy gram gu'
keep his farm clean and free from weeds
he must be careful to SOW only good gram,
thoroughly cleansed. free from worthless
and foul seed.-NaiHe Farmer.

Work Not Disgraceful.

Closely connected with therush cityward
is the growing aversion to manual Labor
The mechanic tries 10 get his boy into IA

farmer; and the young men think that to
get into business to be somebody's book
keeper or clerk, or to have an Office with
sign on the door: John Smith, NJ. ID. A"
or John Smith, A'torney-at- Law" would
afford them an easier and mere respectable
way OF living than blowing the soil and
taking the golden grain to market Fail

cation enough for professional life land

They get book, or patent medicine, or

Gus living. But they have soft hands

their Sunday clothes all the time They
are not laborers but gentlemen.
And alas! how many of our young wom-
en- despise the hand of homes, TIL when
offered to hem--takc rather the soft hand
of some fellow who is too lazy TO work, and
wake up ere long to find that their gentle
man husband is miserable shirk, who
treats all of lite's duties and claims AS he
does the primal one OF labor
have often thought how the good peo-
pie who preach about the Apostle Paul,
and regard him rs the greatest luminary
of the church, would feel if he should come
into their town just as he used to 20 to
