CELERY.

regret to say that farmers tables are
not generally supplied with celery. No
farmer or other person who has a garden
should neglect this delicious vegetable.
1t sets off a table so nicely in winter
when vegetables are scarce, besides it is
SO healthy, and generally relished by all
persons during our cold winter months.
Our city markets are rarely supplied
with enough first-cIass celery. 1t re-
quires considerable care TO grow good
article. Celery should be sewn close by
the lower board of the hot bed as, when
young, it will not bear the bot sun. For
this reason il does better sown i'm april
ia a cold frame. 1t must be transplant
ed two or three times and exposed to the
air, to get strong healthy plants. Celery
should be set out in a trench one foot
deep, made very rich with plenty of old,
rotten manure; set out about the 1st OF
July and water heavily. 1t requires
much water during the season; also use
liquid manure. As the plants grow
press them together and earth up grad
ually; continue this until October.
During the last days of October, or
the 1st of November, OH some dry piece
of land, dig trench one foot wide, and
the depth of the celery; take it up care
fully; press it close together in the
trench and cover it with good coat of
straw; then put on two good, wide
boards slanting, to keep off the water.
1t can then be taken out tender, crisp,
and well blanched, at any time during
the winter. Be careful not to let the
mice get in, for they will iDjure it much.

MANAGING PASTURES AND MEAD
0WS.


Pastures are usually fed closely, es-
pecially in dry time. Stock are allowed
TO run in them in the fall as long as there
IS green thing in sight. The foliage is
all taken off clear down, including part
of the roots, which are left weak and ex-
posed all winter and spring. During
winter, stock ramble over fields, killing
the grass under their feet. Before the
frost is out of the ground cattle are dig
ging away at the old turf again and tread
ing it up full of holes. In this way the
Door grass is beaten and eaten and half
starved, until, after time, depending
upon the strength of the soil, the grass is
said to "run out, " and the field to ''beed
breaking up.n This is not the way to
treat grass land.
Meadows are often pastured for fresh
bite in spring, the stock are turned offtill
one crop is moved, and then back again
when they eat all of closely as in case of
the pasture Just noticed. Plants, to re-
main strong and healthy, need at leasta
little time to get nourishment ahead for
winter protection. Like animals, they
ought to be strong when winter sets in.
So far as Ibave observed, almost moth
ing has been done in our country in the
way of fertilizing and improving perma-
nent pasture. We hardly know the
value of an excellent pasture OF fine
grasses all summer, because very few
have such to feed.
1t may be objected that it is all well
enough to talk about the use of more
manure-to manure the grass land; but
will it pay in this country? Emphatical-
ly, yesI l refer you to some experiments
made by DIR. r. C. Kedzie in top-dressing
meadows, printed in our report for 1864.
The outlay pays from thirty-fiye to over
100 per cent. per annum. The top
dressing used consisted in ashes, muck,
plaster. salt, COW and horse manure.
We have found at the Agricultural Col
lege that we can make valuable COM
twenty-f five to fifty cents a cubic yard.
On most farms the supply and value of
manure can be trebled as well as not by
the use OF muck. Bones can be pound
ed up during winter with a sledge-ham-
mer, and mixed with ashes or ferment-
ing manure, or sown directly on the
land. Many dead sheep, horse or OK
is buried which should be cut up in
pieces and mixed with the manure. On
one Of the poor barren islands near the
eastern coast of Maine, / saw the heav-
lest growth of timothy ever heard of.
1t was six feet high, and had been liber-
ally treated with fish guano. If farm
er can really once believe that it is
profitable to pay good attention to his
grass land he will find ways enough to
increase the quantity % his fertilizers.

APPLICATION OF LIME.

Soils rich in organic matters, even
though they already contain it in con
siderable quantities, drained peat
swamps. stiff clays, and coarse heavy
soils, and especially those destitute of it,
are all benefited by an application of
lime. Good results also follow its use
on light soils, after an incorporation of
organic matter, as green manure, muck,
or a thick sod or green crop plowed
under. Sterile soils are rapidly render
ed more sterile by its application. Wet
lands show least effect from treatment
with lime. Hence such lands must
either be drained, or receive an extra
amount. CIays should also have organ
ic matter applied in connection with
lime. 1t acts most effectually near the
surface. The apparent effect is greater
the second season than the first, so the
most satisfactory results are obtained by
sowing broadcast in the early fall, with
at most only a light narrowing or brush
ing. 1t should be applied in an air
Stacked, fine mechanical condition. The
most profitable quantity to apply de-
pends much on the land; wet soils, those
well filled with organic matter, and
clays, taking most-from ten to forty
bushels being recommended, according
to the circumstances Farm

LARGE FARMS IN ENGLAND. Refer
ence to the big farms in Illinois-40, 900
acres, IS in corr. 5 in oats and flax, and
the rest in grass-has recalled a notice
of the London Spectator. from the
Domesday Book of Scotland, which has
list of those landlords who each own
more than 20, 600 acres of land in that
country. The result is that one man
alone, i'm his own and wife's right, holds
more than fifteenth of the entire area
of the Kingdom, and twelve men own
nearly third; a proportion probably
exceeding anything in Western Europe.
No less than log hold more than so, coo
each. The IL who own the largest
amounts of land are: The Duke of
Sutherland, 1,176, 341 acres; Dutchess
of Sutherland, 140, $40 acres; Sir J.
Matheson, 400, ,G70 acres; Mr. A. Mathe-
son, 220, 632 acres; Duke of Buccleugh,
432, 1S3 acres; Earl of Seafield, BOG, 900
acres; Mr.. Evan Baillie, 306, 600 acres;
Earl of Stair, 270, 900 acres; Duke of
Athole, 134, 900 acres; Sir X. Mackenzie
of Gairlock, 164, go acres; Macleod of
Macleod, 141, 700 acres. The old idea
that the Duke of Sutherland owns an
entire county is not true, but the Duke,
with his wife. the Countess of Cromar-
tie, owns more than the entire surface
of any county in England, except York
shire and Lincolnshire.

DAIRY COWS.

Very few dairymen have any idea how
greatly the yield of cows may be increas-
ed by better feed and care. We think
ir a great folly for men, who are making
twenty five pounds of butter per COW, to
try TO increase their produce by the in
PRODUCTION of Ayrshire or Jersey blood
There is no common herd, selected with
the ordinary skill that every dairyman
should possess, that will not give one
hundred and fifty pounds of butter and
upward to "a COW. if they are properly
taken care of. The improved breeds.
and their grades are no better, il as good.
as common stocks, under neglect and
poor feeding. A correspondent in an
exchange says: 81 have made thou
sand pounds of good butter in season
from four COWS, and not one of them
was registered or had fashionable ped
igree, or was bought at a price to exceed
S50;" and adds, ''In my own experience,
when 1 have bought a COW of stingy
feeders, they have nearly doubled their
product, and that, too, without the aid
os warm or steamed food" Such has
been the experience of not a few. A
man once Dragged that he had sold us
the poorest cow in his herd. She was
small and timid heifer, and was mastered
by nearly every other in an I'll kept herd
chat averaged little if any over one hun
d-ed pounds to the COW. That heifer
now makes over three hundred pounds
a year A test of her milk, few DAYS
ago, gave twenty five and a half ounces
of butter from a days product How
could such a man tell whether he cheats
another when he sells him COW, or not?
his s'strong holt" is in cheating himself
