Culture of Celery.

Celery likes a cool, moist situation, and if
trifie shaded, all the better. If it is planted
in an open situation, exposed to the sun, it
sometimes burns, and this causes rust. This,
however, is not the most frequent cause.
Celery should neither be hoed nor earthed I'D
when moiestened with dew or rain, nor when
the ground is moist. 1t should be done when
air, and soil and plant are dry, otherwise
rust is sure to be the result. If the soil is
permitted between the leaf-stalks or in the
heart of the plant at earthing up, rust or rot,
or both, is the compensation. This is one
reason why we dislike celery of branching
habit. the work of earthing up well is so dill.
ficult. A dwarfsh plant of straight, COM
pact growth is altogether the safest and best.
While on this subject, we will say, never let
celery become so dry as to wilt, either while
growing, or when taken up for consumption
or storing. 1t will never recover from such
treatment, but always remain tough and hol-
low. Keep celery growing rapidly, and when
taken up for pittiDg, do not allow it to show
the least sign OF willing, nor keep it exposed
to light for long time. If you wish to
know what really good celery is, have few
dozen plants under special care. Give them
good soaking of manure water every two
or three days. Do not earth up until the
plants are at least IS inches in height, Then
bank up to the shortest leaf-where it is at
tached to the leaf-stalk. After the heart has
grown up to the height of the outside leaves,
bank up again, 80 that yon have about two
feet of the plant earthed up. In few weeks
aftea the last banking the celery will be fit for
use.-Jdnaes Vick's Guide.

A man who bases his belief on his expe-
rience writes as follows regarding the use of
gravel as mulch for trees: SIN the spring
OF 1870 had the superintendent of planting
some two hundred trees of various kinds in
and around our public grounds. The spring
and succeeding summer was one of unusual
and excessive drouth. About eighty of these
trees-white elm,s maple, American linden
catalpa, etc.-were planted on the sidewalk
for street trees they were on an average ten
and fourteen feet high. They were planted
In rather poor clay soil linked in planting
with rich, black, sandy loam), and within
few inches of the curbstone, the cutters be-
ing shallow and well-bouldered, The walk
was covered with about four inches of gravel.
Every one of these trees grew finely, many of
them making growth of branches two or
more feet in length. Some of these elms
when planted seemed almost dead, but they
started well. None of them were watered
artifcially. The same kinds of trees planted
within the enclosure in much better soil, but
without the gravel mulch, grew very little ;
many of them, probably half, died, notwith-
standing constant careiin watering, deep, and
well.drained soil, shortening in, mulching
withHgrass and litter. etc. The same fate at
tended more than half the trees planted by
others all over the country. Hence l con-
clude that gravel and small stones are unsur-
passed as mulch. They allow rains to
readily penetrate the soil, retain moisture.
absorb heat and equalize the temperature.
The practical utility of gravel as mulch,
where it can be easily procured, should be
tested by all tree planters.

Thick or Thin Skin

Almost universal is the rule that the skin
OF fruits or vegetables, has much to do with
their value. A potato with thin skin does
not handle well for market. The thick skin
also acts as preservative for keeping. This
rule applies very generally, and aids us in
judging of their value; but at the same time
the thin is an index of fine quality generally.
The thick skin also resists disease. Mldew
and scab, or rust, do their work on thin
skins in fruit of all kinds, much oftener than
on thick. In judging of new fruit and vege.
tables, these things help to decide their prob.
able value. Many of our best fruits are too
thin skinned to be grown with profit. The
leaf must also have substance to Withstand
the changes and extremes of our climate.
Now there is moral to this that applies tc
the genus homo. Some OF our humans are
too thin skinned, too sensitive, to be of rea
use in this world. And there are those who
like some fruits, are too thick skinned to be
of much value in society.-Ne,o England

Best Frosting for Cake.

Many cooks are troubled to make good
frosting that will adhere to the cake and
not crumble to pieces when cut. To such 1
recommend the following simple method. 1t
takes but few minutes to make the frosting
and it is always good. 1t is much better than
20 beat the eggs to froth. For one large
cake use pound of pulverized sugar, rolled
or sifted to free it from Jumps, and the whites
of two eggs. Sometimes the frosting stiffens
up so that do not quite use all the sugar.
Stir the sugar gradually into the whites
when nearly stiff enough, squeeze the juice
OF halt lemon; when all the sugar is in that
is required, give it a good stirring; put the
frosting in the centre Of the loaf of cake, dip
broad bladed knife in water, and spread
the frosting, dipping the knife in water often

OTHER soFT-sKINNED WORMS.

There are scores of other insects, the larvae
of which have thin skins, and these readily
yield to applications of caustic lime. The
grubs of the three-lined leaf beetles, as well
as those of the Colorado potato beetle, makes
little Roadway under coat of freshly slaked
lime, although it is not certain death to
them as with some other kinds. There are
no worms or caterpillars which will eat
leaves busted with this substance, hence,
this-nay all be checked in their progress by.
its ~ if not killed outright.
insects which do the most injury to plants
in their perfect state, such, for instance, as
the fiea-beetles, SO common upon cabbage,
caulifower and tomato plants in early spring.
Now to those who find insect pests in their
garpens or on the farm, we would say, try
lime first, and use it freely, and, if this fails,
seek something else.

POETRY.
The Artists Heart,

AT the spring of arch in the great north tower,
High up on the wall is an angels head;
And beneath it is carved a lily flower,
With delicate wings at the side outspread.
They say that the sculptor wrought from the face
OF his youths lost love, of his promised bride,
And when he had added the last sad grace
To the features, he dropped his chisel and died.
And the worshipers throng the shrine below,
And the sight-seers come with their curious eyes,
But deep IN the shadow, where none may know
Its beauty, the gem of his carving lies.
Yet at early morn on a midsummer's day.
When the sun is far to the north, for the space
OF few short minutes, there falls ray
Through an amber pane on the angels face.
1t was wrought for the eye of God. and 1t seems
That he blesses the work of the dead mans and
With ray Of the golden light that streams
On the lost that are found In the deathless land
