CKLERY FOR oRRHKyMATIsH.-In celery
there must be some special virtue, If
we only knew what 1t Is. Nothing is
made in vain, and the powerful smell
and extraordinary taste of celery are
intimati,ns from nature that it
has some special mission. Mr.. Ward
Of Perrlston Towers, Ross, writes that
rheumatism becomes impossible If
celery Is freely used as an article of
diet. Unfortunately, he says cooked
celery; for it Is the article in it's raw
state to which we are all accustomed.
"Cut the celery" he says, "into inch
dice. Boil in water until soft. No
water must be poured away unless
drunk by the invalid. Then take new
milk, slightly thicken with flour, and
flavor with nutmeg; warm with the
celery In the saucepan; serve with
diamonds Of toasted bread round the
dish, and eat with potatoes" "Pcrmit
me to say" he adds, "that cold or
damp never produces rheumatism but
simply develop it. The acid blood Is
tho primary cause and the sustaining
power OF evil. While tho blood Ia al
kallne there can be no rheumatism and
equally no gout." And Mr. Ward pro.
ceeds to say, "Lct me tearlessly say
that rheumatism Is impossible on such
Il diet, and yet our medical mon allow
ed rheumatism to kill in 1876, 3,640
beings'-every case as unnecessary rs a

but arc simply hemmed across the top
and fastened to each other at the back
by one button, You can give them

AGRICULTURE.

MANURE. the key to successful farm
ing over the larger part Of the coun.
try, demands attention. Perhaps In
no one item Of farm practice has there
been a greater change than in that of
the management Of manure. Formerly
II was Thought tiiat manure should onx
ly be brought to, the field Just as It is
TO be used Now:it is rakenkeut when
enrting or Shedding is good, and the
hands and teams are not pressed with
other work. BY hauling 1t in winter,
and pacing 1t in heaps near to where
1t viii be needed in spring, it gets the
benefit Of an extra turning, and, If de-
sil able these heaps may be again turn
ed before they are spread. OF course
someforethought must be tai en- to put
the manure' IN the most convenient
place for the after labor Of distribute
ing 1t. Whatever else Is done with
manure let 1t be kept in compat heaps {;
to scatter over the whole Darnyard
that which should only cover an area
Ct a few square yards is wicked waste.
After the winter rains have washed
out the soluble matter from the scat
tered manure GOTTEN 1t runs to the
nearest crcek), what remains Is of lit
tie value. 1t would be far better whore
the munure upon the field were its
Washings would be utilized. Ono fact
has been often repeated In these col
umns, but our correspondence shows
that 1t Is not everywhere understood,
which is-the quality of the manure
depends upon the quality Of the food.
The animal adds nothing to what is
fed to 1T; 1T takes out something, but
leaves the leiuse, which it does not
wait, but the soil does, in an available
form. The old adage "out of nothing
nothing comes," is commended to those
" no think they can make Il large guam
