Celery.

viii you please instruct me how
to raise celery, and at what time it
should be planted?
LINCOLN, Ill AIR..
In the Prairie Farmer of March
|6-this volume-we gave a concise
method of cuItivating celery, and
will repeat it for the benefit of our
correspondent, as well as others
who have not heretofore raised this
excellent and healthful vegetable.
Too much cannot be said in its
praise, and we advise our friends,
one and all, who raise vegetables at
all, to give it place in the garden.
1t should be grown universally for
it is one ofthe most palatable and
wholesome products in the yegeia-
bic kingdom,
The cultivation of celery has been
much simplifed oflate years. The
method formerly adopted, was dig
ging trench from six to twelve
inches deep, involving much labor
and time. That mode has given
place to level culture, which under
good care, gives better satisfaction.
The ground, however, must be
deeply pulverized and mellow.
This plant foarishes best in light
soil, enriched by old fire manure.
As early in the spring as the ground
Is in proper condition TO work, pre-

If our people will make good use

them by breeding their draft mares
to these heavy stations. their trot-
ting mares to Bashtinc and their sad

pare the bed and SOW the seed in
rows nine or ten inches apart. An
ounce of seed will SOW a row 90
feet long. The seed are trod or roll
ed in which covers them suf .cient-
ly. As soon as the seeds GERM.
nate, begin to hoe lightly between
the rows to keep down VIZ ;eds, and
all such foreign growths from the
row. Clean culture is important
from the start. AS tb .ey advance
in growth they are SD .orn off once
or twice to make thep stocky before
being transplanted. If the ground
where they are to stand is deeply
fined and mellow, it will not be
necessary to do rlore than to trans
plant in rows three feet apart, the
plants standing, six inches apart in
the row. Aft er this all that is re-
quired is to keep out weeds during
the six Or seven succeeding weeks,
when the process of earthing up
begins, which consists in drawing
the earth up around the plant with
the hoe, and pressing 1t firmly
about them with the hand, keeping
the stalks in an upright position.
This operation is called "handling."
This is repeated two or three times,
the spade being employed in digging
the earth from between the rows,
and banking it up to the top ofthe
plants. This is necessary to bleach
the plants previous to storing Them

FARMERS'
FERTILIZER Comply.
OUR MOTTO


The object of this organization is, to supply the
stockholders with fertilizers, and fertiizing ma
terial at bottom prices. The farmers of Virginia
pay annually at least $4,000 for fertilizers, one
third of which ought to be, and can be saved il
farmers determine to do 1t.
The gods help him who helps himself" runs
an ancient proverb and there IS much truth in it.
If farmers would relieve themselyus Of this terri
bic tax upon their industry, they must learn to
"help themselves"
While clamoring for readjustment Of our State
debt, that their state taxes may not be INcREAsgD
Why not just this fertilizer bust ess, that their
overwhelming private taxes may be largely DE-
CREASED? No governors yetoes-nO decisions OF
the courts-no violations of the obligations OF
contracts" can intervene here to block she wheels
Of this movement for retrenchment, for farmers
have but TO say the word and It is done.
We expect to furnish stockholders with fert-
lizer above the ordinary standard at from $25 to
s1i per ton, and with sufficient capital, at much
lower price than this aud fer tlizng material az
lowest ratss, considering the quality.
We expect to prepare several different formulas
for experimental purposes, 10 enable farmers 10
decide by actual experiment which is best adapted
70 his particular soil.

The depth of plow depends upon
circumstances and conditions, differ
ent soils and requirements. Nearly
all the root crops require deep plow-
ing and deep tillage. In old ground
which has become inicrtilc by con-
slant cropping, deep plowiug IS
beneficial in bringing TO the surface
the tresher and richer subsoil. On
sod ground shallow blowing is best
for crops whose roots DO not pcne-
trate far into the soil, as in the case
of corn, etc. Generally, however,
deep cultivation is best, as the soil
is thus less subject to extremes Of
wet or dry weather.

In 1878 an attachment for a common plow was
invented by practical farmer. that can IN ten
minutes be connected with any ordinary plow,
which changes it at once iuto a compete sun
plow. 1t consists Of one large whe which runs
upon the land side, smaller one under thr beam,
and another that runs in the furrow behind the
pillow. These wheels carry the weight OF the piow,
entirely removing the friction upon 'he lut.n N
and land side, one of which, together with the ~
right beam, regulates the Width and depth OF the
furrow. 1t is provide with a. easy seat, enabling
the driver to have at all times both H. pillow ana
team under his control, once SET it, Hork Is not
easily changed The relieving OF tine pl0w from
the side and bottom friction lesults IN reducing
the drau ht over 20 per cent? even when carry
ing the driver the draught Is fully twenty per
ce Mt. less than that of the walking plow with tn
driver trudging IN the FUR W behind. 1t can be
attached with equal ease to a right or left-h9Ld
pillow, and when properly attached, any one, mae
or female, who Is old enough 70 mango team,
can perform good WORK as the most shliunl
plowmsn can do without it. 4 saving of ID Per |
