RAISING CELERY.

The successful raising of celery is one of
the most difficult things to achieve in gar
den-culture. 1t requires nearly as much
attention as hot-house grapes. The failure
These are: 1. Trenches should be dug
from eight to ten inches in depth, in rich
soil. Q. The trenches should be half-filled
with half-rotted manure mixed with the
soil, in which the plants should be we'll set
down. 8. There should be only a single
row Of plants, instead of two or more, as is
commonly the case. 4. The plants should
be set out from ten days to two weeks ear
lier 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 scorchings of the sun from 10 to
O'Clock, until they have taken firm grasp
of the earth and commenced growing; they
should be watered for some time, in the
absence of rain, twice a-day, afterwards
once a-day. After growing about eight
inches the earth should be carefully drawn
to the rows and continued gradually as the
growth progresses. Manure-water is excel
lent and should be applied at least twice a
week until the middle of October. Guano-
| water is the best.
In drawing the earth to the plants care
must be taken not to cover the leaders and
stun 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 onr own premises.
Many persons cultivate celery in double
and triple rows This does well enough
where ground is scarce; but whsre 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.

Mrs. Hooper's voice penetrated to the

Harker's boy, who is fourteen years old,
and lives opposite to Sampson, snickered SO
long and loud az he heard this question
from his post of observation in the store

forth by Sampson's clerk, amid the derisive
shout of the other boys.

A CHEAP HARD soAp.-Many housekee

A CHEAP HARD SoAP.-Many housekeep-
ers in the country know how difficult it is
to obtain good article of bar soap. The
yellow soap sold at the stores cuts soft as
cheese, and rubs away as easily, and unless
the housewife buys box of soap at atime,
and piles it up in stacks in the attic or some
dry place, the yearly record will show a
good sum paid out for soap purchased by
the bar. The following recipe will prove a
desirable item of economy:
Four large bars of yellow soap; two
pounds of sal-soda; three ounces borax
one ounce of liquid ammonia. Shave the
soap in thin slices, put it into eight quarts
ofsoft water (rain water is the best). Wher
the soap is nearly dissolved, add the boraz
and sal-soda; stir till all is melted. Poul
into a large tub or shallow pan; wher
nearly cool add the ammonia slowly, mixi ms
it well. Let it stand day or two, theI
cut it into cakes or bars, and dry in warn
place. No better soap can be made to wasf
white cloths, calicoes and fannels, and it il
excellent for all household purposes.
costs but three cents per pound, and i
made in less than half an hour. This recip,
has beeu sold for five dollars, and will be o

HOW TO FATTEN CATTLE.

A correspondent Of the Droosr's journal
furnishes few useful hints on the above
subject. He only confirms the experiences
or others in regard to the care Of stock,
especially during the first year. No amount
OF after care can make up for deficiency
here; it would be just as easy to build a
substantial house on poor foundation
Men who have devoted lifetime to buy
ing and handling stock, understand this
matter, and you can't deceive them. Under
the hand, the care that has been given to
an animal is revealed, and no extra stufing
or bloating can hide previousi neglect or
abuse
The price Of cattle --fattened for market
depends on the symmetry of the animal, as
well as the ''fat'' style, as shippers term it,
Good blood is important, but not absolutely
necessary, to make what is termed good
seller. In order to ia tten steer to bring
the highest market price, he must be kept
IN growing condition from a calf, and in
no case allowed to 60 hungry. 1t is the
starving the first and second winter that
willis and shriyels up a steer, that causes
him to be sold at reduced price. No
amount of feeding will make him first
class seller, no difference what his color or
blood. An animal well fed, of any blood.

WORKING OF THE TIDES.

An able writer in scientific journal says:
'sIt is beyond doubt that tides are caused
principally by the action OF the moon, as
their periods keep peace with the apparent
motion of the moon, and have done so for
centuries We know that the earth and
moon are attracted by each other; and on
the other band, we know that these two
bodies are not approaching. There must,
therefore, evidently exist another force
which balances the attraction. 1t is gene
rally said that the moon rotates round the
earth once month, but in reality both
moon and earth rotate round their mutual
centre Of gravity. By this peculiar rota-
ton, force akin to centrifugal force is
produced, which prevents the approaching
of the two bodies Now we see that there
are two forces acting between earth and
moon, which are in perfect equilibrium in
the centres Of either of the two bodies
But the attractive force is greater in those
parts of the earth that are nearer the moon,
and causes an upheavel of water on that
side. On the opposite side of the earth the
contrary is the case, namely, the attraction
towards the moon is less than in the centre
of the earth, and that force, which keeps
the moon and earth apart, gets the over
hand and causes an upheaval of water OF
that side also. The tidal wave produced
by the moon must, therefore, be necessaril.
double one. The wave caused by thu
sun is double for the same reason. On th'
side of the earth nearest the sun the attrac
tion is greater, and on the opposite side tn
centrifugal force, caused by the orbltal mo
tion of the earth, is gaining on the dimin
| ished attraction"
