Celery as a Care-AN.

The habitul daily use of this vegetable is
much more beneficial to man than most peo-
pie are aware of. A writer who is familiar
with its virtues says: 81 have known many
men and women who, from various causes,
had become so much affected by nervousness
that when they stretched out their hands
they shook like aspen leaves on windy day,
and by moderate daily use of the blanched
footstalks of celery as a salad they become as
strong and steady in limb as other people. I
have known others so nervous that the least
annoyance put them in state of agitation
and they were in constant perplexity and
fear, who were also effectually cured by
moderate daily use of blanched celery as a
salad at meal time. have known others to
be cured of palpitation of tie heart. EVERY
body engaged in labor weakening to the
nerves should use celery daily in the season
and onions in its stead when not in season."
To this we may add that prominent New
York druggist draws in winter from his soda
fountain hot extract of celery, mixed with
Liebig's meat extract, under the name of OK
celery. 1t is nourishing drink at lunch
time, far better than coffee or tea, and is
doing great deal in the neighborhood to
promote temperance. We give celery almost
daily to our canary birds and it cures them of
fits; they are little animals, with very delicate
nerves, easily frightened, and therefore they
need such remedy very much, and the
relish with which they take it is proof that
their instinct guides them to eat what is good
for them.-Jou,nal Of CHEMISTRY.

Laying Hens i'm Winter.

From the letters we receive, and the per.
sonal inquiries made, we judge that with the
majority of those who keep hens, eggs are
scarce from November until April. We have
heard such comments as these on some state
ment we have made: 81 do not understand
how hens can be made to lay as many eggs
in winter as in summer. / have never had
such experience" We have been asked by
several subscribers to give full and definite
directions for the care of laying hens, espec-
tally In the winter. We are glad of the inter-
est manifested in this branch of productive
industry, and will give some directions, which
if followed in the care of any breed of healthy
fowls will give the owner on the average, at
least fifteen eggs per month. The first thing
is light, warm, healthy quarters. The win
d0ws in the hennery should be low, and on
the side tor the morning sun, so the fowls
can take an early bath in the sunlight. The
temperature should be such that the combs
will not suffer from the frost, aud it would be
wise to have it so that the eggs will not
freeze. Not more than fifteen or twenty
fowls should be permitted in coop twelve
feet square, and no matter how large the coop
twenty-five is a number as large as is profita-
able to run together. Give them a good dust
box of dry, fine earth or ashes, and keep
broken bone or shell always before them.
See that their water is replenished every
some green stuff, such as cabbage, turnip,
clover or corn fodder is occasionally thrown
in for them to pick over.
These are little matters, but they are of as
much Importance as the food or the breed of
the fowls. Then regularly, and with prop
er economy-say twice each day-feed them
all they will cal, land no more; in the morning
soft food, pieces from the table, boiled pota-
toes, mixed with bran and meal-the latter
used sparingly-with little pepper and salt.
Feed this every other day, and alternate with
buckwheat, and you have the best food we
know of for laying hens. Every night feed
corn, whole or coarse cracked, changing oc-
casionally with oats. Pickings of meat or
fresh fish two or three times week are good.
If you cannot get these conveniently, ground
scraps will answer; for coop OF twenty hens
take pint of scraps, put them in three pints
of water, leave them over night; then mix
meal with them. Give this two or three
times week, with bran, potatoes and buck
wheat. Let these conditions of care become
a regulation. 1t will not take more than
twenty minutes morning and evening, to do
the work. The hens will be hearty and
healthy under such treatment, and if they do
not reward you with plenty of eggs, change
the breed. Golden Rule.

How Far Apart,

Thomas Meehan lays down the following
rule: The proper distance to sow or plant any
thing is SO that the roots of the plants, what
ever they are, should about touch each other.
Thus q wheat plant requires for its best devel-
opment to be about four or six inches from an
other plant, to have for its own self to occupy
about sixteen to thirty-six square inches of
surface.
