Celery.

The soil for Celery can scarcely be too rich
in manure of the proper description: it
should be well decayed and not of drying
nature. A partially shaded place tends to its
more rapid growth than where entirely eX-
posed to the sun. Moisture is the great es-
sential, and in dry weather soap suds is one
of the best materials for the purpose. We
have used liquid manure with decidedly good
results. When the plants have reached n
growth of about three inches they should be
thinned out and the tops cut off, thus securing
'stocky" plants. When thinning out the
plants that IRE taken out should he topped
and firmly replanted in well prepnred bed
In transplanting always give the plants as
they stand in the seed bed good soaking,
and also the soil to which they are to be re-
moved, an hour or so before removal. When
the plants are six inches high, and after the
hot weather of July, the work of setting in
the trenches begins. The depth of the trenches
must be governed according to the depth of
the soil, but at no time is it advisable to go
deeper than a foot. A heavy application of
well-rottcd manure should be thoroughly
mixed with the soil in the bottom of the
trenches. Where space occupied is no con-
sideration planting in single rows three or
four feet apart, with the plants six inches
apart, is recommended, but in garden culture
three or four rows can be grown in a trench
with very little more labor than one Six
inches apart each way gives the plants ample
room for growth and does not interfere when
the time comes for "handling" or filling. In
dry weather water around, not on the stalks.
For five or six weeks after planting nothing
need be done but keep the weeds down and the
celery moist, thus inducing as rapid growth
us possible. Late i'll August the filling up
process is commenced. The earth is drawn
up close around the base of the plant, draw
ing the stems together, taking care not to get
the soil between the inner stalks, nor to cover
the heart. Some cultivaors earth up at in
tervals, while Others permit the plants TO
reach their full growth and earth up all at
once. We prefer the former and at the close
of the season, before there is danger of heavy
frosts, draw the ground up clean to the top.
Celery which is banked up early is liable to
rust. The quality of Celery depends very
much on the manner in which it is cultivated
If not rightly managed, the best seed will pro-
duce but an inferior stalk As to the method
of preserving, we may have something to say
when the Celery is raised.-Gottysbu,g C0ni-

Mark This, Boy,

Ibid you ever know man who grew rich
by fraud, continue successful through life, and
leave fortune at death.
This question was put to gentleman who
had been in business forty years. After re-
ilecting while he replied
"Not one | have seen many men become
rich AS if by magic, and win golden opinions,
when some little thing led to an exposure of
their fraud, they have fallen into disgrace and
ruin. Arson, perjury, murder and suicide are
common crimes with those who make haste
to be rich, regardless of the means"
Boys, stick II pin here. You will soon be
men, and begin to act with those who make
haste to be rich, regardless of the means,
Boys, stick Il pin here. You will soon he
men, and begin to act with those who make
money. Write this good mans testimony in
your mind, and with it put this word of God:
:" He that hasteneth to he rich hath an evil
eye, and considereth not that poverty shall
come upon him. PROV. xviii, %.
Let these words lead you to resolve to make
haste slowly, when you go into business, in
the matter of making money.
