Culture Of Celery.

Celery plants are grown in cold
frame Of nursery bed, and the seed
should be sown at once. As soon as the
soil is warm enough tc start growth is
the season for sowing the seed. The
seed is sown moderately thick, so as to
force a tall growth. When the plants
are two inches high it Is advisable TO
transplant them, on Il rainy day, into
beds, about two inches apart each way.
In about a month or six weeks they are
ready for transplanting TO the trenches.
These are made four inches deep, and
well MANFRED in the bottom. The plants
are set six inches apart i'll the trenches,
and the trenches are four feet apart.
As the plants grow the soil is dra wn up
to them without choking them. When
the trench is filed level the plants are
permitted to grow until they require
earthing up. This is done by gathering
the stalks together with one hand and
drawing the soil to the plants with the
other, and packing it down firmly about
them. As they grow, more soil is
broght up to them, the tops and crown
always being left free. This induces a
tall growth and makes the stems white.

Keep the Farm Tools Sharp.

The Germantown Telegraph gives
the following sensible hints on the
sharpening Of tools Too often these
things are nor thought of until the arti-
cles are wanted, when much valuable
time is lost in putting in order what
might as well have been done during the
dull winter days. 1t has been comput-
ed that the same man can do as much
IN two days with sharp scythe as in
three days with one comparatively dull t.,
and the same expenditure in force
And ii IS Just the same in regard to all
other tools or implements, whether OPP
Grated by hand, steam or horse power.
The engineer continually oils the ma
chinery, and a good saw or file is oil to
hand implements We know one who
has a great deal of hand hoeing to do by
hired labor, and he believes that the
continued use Of the file on the hoes
makes a difference of nearly one-half in
the labor. His calculation Is that every
ten-cent file he buys saves him $40 In
his laborers bills. Now is the time to
look after the spades, scythes, hoes,
chisels, saws, etc. \ good grindstone
and set of of files are among the best
of farm investments, especially at this
season. The best of all forehandedness
is that which prepares in advance full
set of good and well repaired tools to
work with.

Farm Education.

Hon. F. f. Belzhoover, Of Pennsyl-
wanna, in a recent public address said /:
The farmer should be taught 10 know
that he Is dealing with problems which
require and reward the amplest know-
edge Of natures laws, the fullest COM
mand Of science, the noblest efforts of
the human intellect. We need TO min
Gle more thought with our work. Some
think till their heads ache (; others
work till their backs are crooked but
the worker and thinker are ever kept
distinct they should be the same.
In an age when every laborer's son
NAV be fairly educated if he WILL there
should be more fruit gathered from the
tree of knowledge TO justify the mag
nificent promise its foliage and bloom.
There is no success in the intellectual,
social, moral or political world but by
agitation healthy, temperate, persis
tent, honest agitation.
The more good agricultural schools
the more agricultural newspapers-the
more talk and work in a direct line Of
agricultural knowledge, the sooner will
come the day when art and science of
tilling the earth, which Is the natural
God-given pursuit Of the masses of hui
manity, viii be brought to the level il
held when the active ''tiller of the
garden was lord of the earth"
All these means should be cherished
and used and exercised. because they
are the only ones by which the agricul-
turist can work. Against them are ar
rayed the same agents of destruction,
which have made the masses hewers of
wood and drawers Of water, servants
and bondmen, peasants and serfs, in
the past. Ignorance is always against
progress.

The EFFECT OF DRoUTH. Coun-
try Gentleman recommends early plant
ing in a rich soil as likely to preserve
vegetables from the effects of drouth.
Il is well known to farmers that serious
check is often given to vegetables which
require water in their first stages of
growth, by severe drouths early in the
season. Irrigation at such times is rarely
practicable. The best remedy, there
fore, is to plant early and give well
enriched soil. Early planting viii often
push the plants so far in growth that
their roots will sustain them in dry
times. But still more helpful is rich
soil-in two ways-one, by pushing the
young plants on, and the other by hold
ing more moisture than a thin soil can
do. Very early planting can be prac-
ticed only on hardy plants. Tender
ones are less injured by drouth. Take
the onion crop, for instance, which will
bear very early sowing. Nothing hurts
it more than a drouth when the plants
are the size of goosequils. Hence the
most certain and heavy crops come from
early planting and rich soils. Weeds
are of course more or less fatal, but no
good cultivator need be advised to keep
a perfectly clean surface.

OIEoMARGARINE, says the Rural New
Yorker, was first introduced surrepti-
tiously, and is now sold by the dark
lantern method. For nearly ten years
the dairymen have had to contend with
this secret foe. Laws have been evaded
and openly violated to damn the repu-
tation of American butter abroad. Last
year 2s,O00,0 900 pounds of butter and
%, 900, 900 pounds of oleomargarine
were exported. But for the oleomar-
garine our exports of butter would have
been between $4,000, 900 and so, OOO,-
600 pounds. England imports $50, OOO,-
600 worth of butter annually, and of
this $45, 900, 900 comes from elsewhere
than here, giving us only about 10 per
cent. of the trade. She imports s25,-
000,0 900 worth of cheese, and of that.
SID, 000, 900 worth, or about IS per cent.
goes from the United States. We can
make better butter and better cheese
than other nations, and, but for this
oleomargarine fraud, we should supply
the markets Of England.

A LECTURE was given last Friday
evening by Thomas j. Rush, before the
New York Genealogical and Biograph.
ical society, upon the subject of "Race
in geneology," with special reference
to the Chinese question. From the
nature Of the case, a good deal OF
familiar ground was gone over, such as
the causes inducing Chinese immigra-
ton to this country, and how, by cheap
labor, they are driving others from
various spheres iof employment. The
problem, he said, was one of great and
growing significance, and a satisfactory
solution could be arrived at only by
careful and just legislation. The fact
that the Mongolian ever retains the
characteristics Of his race, and is by no
means amenable to the usages and in
iuence Of civilized life, was handled
with vigor, various authorities being
cited to sustain the lecturer. In view
OF the situation, he argued that the
arrival OF vast hordes of Chinese, who
were flooding the country. was sufi-
GENTLY alarming to excite apprehension,
II not dismay. and said that IL the
Chinese were to be admitted to the
rights Of suffrage, there should be an
educational qualification imposed before
they could be entitled to it.

THE discussion in the house on the
question Of establishing the flag of the
United States within reach of the re-
gions yer which the United States may
nov at any moment be compelled To
assert a practical protectorate. throws
a striking and instructive light on the
true causes Of the decline of the demo-
cratic strength Of the house, and in the
country since re. The resolution Of
Eaton embodies the national and pro-
gressive spirit Of the American democ-
racy, which for three generations iden-
titled the democratic party with the
growth and greatness Of the American
union, and which was expressed in the
attitude Of Whitehouse and the demo-
Gratis, who, like him, refused to permit
the Interpolation OF a small and per.
sonal issue between the congress of the
United States and a measure demand
ed by every consideration of national
honor and national intere SITS.

Against IA Ghiaes Treaties.
Washington, Feb. 25.-The yiee-presi-
dent to-day presented 10 the senate the
following memorial, and il was referred
TO the committee on foreign relations:
Boston, Feb. Is, 1881, To the presi-
dent of the senate: Strive the UNDER
signed, merchants and ship owners of
Boston, respectfully request that you
viii convey to the honorable body OF
which you are the head, our belief that
the subsidiary treaties recently negoti-
ated with China are injurious to the in
terests and commerce of this country,
unjust in their discrimination, their
effect against our vessels in the carry
ing trade in China, and unwise and I'M
called for by any circumstances in the
existing relations between the two coun-
tries. We would respectfully urge upon
its consideration,
First-That the terms of the political
treaty are derogatory to the dignity of
the United States in dealing with a
semi-ciyilised yet arrogant govern
ment.
Second-That the conditions of the
commercial treaty are not only I'M
necessary and useless, commercial
privileges being already established by
previous treaties to the mutual satisfae-
tion of the two countries, but are ac-
tually hurtfui; that the result of the
embassy sent from our shores TO relieve
the United States from the previous
error in diplomacy should be a new
agreement to our own Disadvantage in
all its clauses, seems TO us as unprece-
denied as it is unfortunate.
The memorial is signed by John NJ.
Forbes a. Co., and nineteen other mer-
camille firms.
Its positive and sweeping asser-
tions, unsupported by argument or speci-
fcations, are not likely to excite any in
fuence upon the senate at large, but the
memorial will doubtless serve to stimu-
late the opposition already threatened
by certain senators from New Eng
land.
1t must be said, however, that the
near approach of the constitutional
close of the session and the great pres
sure of accumulated business have now
the effect of making even a small OPP
position formidable by reason of the
abundant opportunities for intefposing
delay, and it therefore begins to look
as if the final consideration of the
Chinese treaties may after all be post
poned for a special session of the next
senate.
Chairman Eaton nevertheless is still
hopeful that he will succeed in calling
them up for action before the 4th of
March, and in this event their prompt
ratification may be considered certain.
