CHE AouseItold,
CELERY,

A writer in the Gettysburg, Pa, Com
piIer says This wholesome vegetable is
coming into prominence in late years.
Fresh, crisp celery is an Indispensable ar
ticle on the tables of the rich, and it IS
gaining favor among the multitudes in
humble life. Scientists agree that celery,
while both healthy and palatable, possesses
rare qualities that contribute muscle aud
brain powcr-that it steadies the nerves,
and that its medical properties have whole
some influences on the entire human sys-
TEN. OF the various modes advanced for
cultiyating and bringing celery to the
highest standard of perfection, we have
discovered, through actual practice, that
the trench system leads. "NOt the col
lecting of the plants together in the fall,
but trench the young plants at the time OF
transpIanting in July, and these treated
and earthed by degrees and covered at the
approach of severe weather and there al
lowed 10 remain until taken out as needed
for the table.
Some very practical persons adhere to
surface culture of celery, forgetting that
the trench is proof against the extremes
of heat, AID the plants therein better sup
Dlied with moisture There is, however,
an item in the celery trench that we would
caution against-the application OF too
much earth to the stalks in midsummer,
which in many cases covers the heart OF
the plants and causes the outside stalks to
rust and decay on account of their contact
with the earth. This decay can be avoided
by delaying the earthing-up process until
the beginning of September, and then
earthed gradually until finally covered,
which is, in our latitude, about the second
or third week in November In starting
celery seed the aid of hot-beds Is not re-
ouired. We SOW our seed in an open bed
about the middle Of April, "eover lightly,
and keep the soil moist until the plants
attain four or FIVE leaves. Weeds are ex-
terminated and the plants are not allowed
to oyer-erowd each other. This lnsures
us thrifty plants for transplanting in
trenches in July. We set the plants SIX
to eight inches apart each way, and two
rows to a trench. In digging the trench
we lift the sub.soil out and let the surface
soil drop to the bottom. The trench is
dug from one foot to fourteen inches deep,
and half this space filed with loose sur
face-soil. The plants are watered plend-
fully for three days after transplaniing,
thereafter only in periods of dry weather.
Manure is always acceptable to celery, but
il should be well decayed. Salt, ashes,
hone dust and other fertilizers, are always
congenial to celery growth. The owners
of gardens, either in suburbs or country,
will find this wholesome vegetable as easily
managed as any other product of the mark
ct. The dwarf white varieties are eur
fayorites.

will answer. In this case tie them up
with white cloth, put branded paper in the
mouth of the jar and brush the cloth with
white of egg.
Porcelain lined kettles are the safest for
preserving, etc. For fine fruit nothing
except those or bell-metal kettles should
be used. Where bell-metal is employed
the utmost care must be taken to prevent
canker. Scour with sand just before using,
and scald with salt and vinegar, then
rinse and wipe. After emptying wash at
once. If the preserves are allowed to cool
in the bell-metal the result will probably
be poison to whoever eats them. With
due care these kettles are as safe as the
frazier porcelain, without, they are danger
Gus in the extreme. Tin should never be
used for preserves, it turns them dark.
Tito the syrup left from canned fruit, su-
gar be added, a quarter pound to a pint
and it is then stewed thick and bottled, it
makes a delicious syrup for cakes, etc, in
the winter. Blackberry and raspberry
cordials for summer complaint, are made
by stewing the fruit syrup with loaf sugar,
half pound to a pint, and adding tea
spoonful each of ground ginger, cloves and
nutmeg, and boiling until thick. An Eng
lish recipe states that delicious preserve
may be made of fruit and honey by putting
the fruit in the jar and pouring the honey
over it and sealing air-tight. "When the
honey is poured from the fruit it will have
the fruit flavor and the appearance of jel-
ly, making a delicious dessert dish.

PRESERVES.

For preserves use only the best loaf
eranulated sugar, aud allow pound of
sugar for every pound of fruit if yOu wish
your preserves very sweet, three-quarters
If YOU do not; the latter quantity is fully
sufficient for ordinary preserves. Peel
peaches, pears, ounces and apples, and
throw into cold water as you peel them to
preyent their turning dark. Drain OF the
water. weigh the fruit, cover with sugar
and let them stand for two or three hours.
Set on the FIRE aud heat slowly, then boil
slowly, or rather simmer, until the pre-
serves are clear. Take out each piece with
a skinner and lay on fiat dish to cool,
or else put in the jars at once. Stew the
syrup, skimming off the scum which rises,
until it "ropes" from the spoon. If the
preserves are already in the jar pour the
syrup over them and seal; if on dishes, re-
turn them to the syrup and boil up at
once before putting up. This is merely
matter of choice and we have never found
any difference ia the results of the two
methods.
Ounces should be parboiled before peel
ing. In preserving plums prick the plums
and boil for twenty minutes in a syrup al.
ready prepared, allowing gill of water and
three quarters Of pound of sugar to every
pound of fruit. For berries make syrup,
and when it comes to boil put in the
berries and boil slowly for fifteen minutes.
Take out with skinner and cook until
it ropes. Preserves keep best in selfseal-
ing jars, but if well cooked any other kind

Where the Confederate Gold Went.

General George G.. Dibrell, of
Tennessee, who commanded JEFF
ferson Davis's military escort on
his flight southwark after Gen.
Lees surrender, has published
a letter, in which he ridicules the
recently published statement OF
a Michigan regiment that Mr..
Davis had 100000 of gold in his
saddle-bsgs when captured. Gen.
Dibrell says that the specie.
which was carried by a train of
four wagons and amounted to
$10S,O00, was paid to the troops
at Washington, Ga, by order OF
Gen. Breckenridge. The money
was paid over by Major e. G.
White, the senior Quartelmaster
present, and each officer and SOL
dier received the same amount
$26.25. General Dibrell adds !:
"Major White, after the pay
ments we're all made, handed me

Spring, the trees near the Lake anu
perhaps some thirty Or forty miles
inland, had perfect immunity from
the cold and growers realized a
handsome income from the sale of
peaches at from 81 to 81 per BUSH
el. I will remark that only the
eastern shores of Lake Michigan
enjoy the protection of the moder-
ating Lake breezes. The western
shore fare no better than any other
exposed section, while during the
hottest days the thermometer does
not indicate over 80 degrees on the
eastern shores.
Upon approaching a farm 1--WE
never call them plantations we see
first, an orchard, next another or
chard, then a good dwelling, usu-
ally a two-story one, ana barns,
stables, and outhouses, all of which
indicate thrift and prosperity by
their completeness and tidy ap-
pearance. The huge straw stack
to which the stock has unrestrained
access is never missing. The corn,
I find, is never "pulled," but stock
and ear are invariably cut before
the fodder dries, then stacked,
cured and hauled home, and during
the long winters horses and cattle
devour almost the entire stock with
great avidity and thereby keep in
fine condition.
This country is perfect network
of railroads, and one can usually
