This has become so popular Il crop that
every person who has garden desires to
have enough for family use once or twice n
week throughout the winter and a portion of
the spring
The time will soon be here when at least
the ground should be selected and in meas
ure prepared We have frequently set out
the first rows in the last week in June: but
for the general crop later date is preferred,
say up to the middle of July. 1t is seldom
that very late planted celery comes to much ;
in iact, when we have set out Anv--nnd it
WAS never much--at date later than that
usually adopted by experienced growers, we
have new had yield worth growing. At
the best the stalks were short and stubbv
and tough.
All celery growers are aware that the
ground cannot be too strong for this plant
II has very small root and can gather only
Il short supply oftertilizing substances hence
the soil should be MS rich as possible in order
that there may be within reach of the roots q
needed amount of nutrmcnt
Our method has uniformly been to set the
plants in single rows, as by it we have always
obtained tie largest stalks, and have found
them to blanch better and to be tenderer and
swcctcr. Perhaps more in quantity can be
obtained from planting two, three and four
rows together, but our experience has been,
so far as the supply for domestic use is con-
ccrned. that the single row is to be preferred
Many persons set their plants very nearly
on the surface of the ground, ms they would
Il cabbage or tomato, and depend upon bank
ing up the rows, This requires a wide space
between the rows to supply the necessary
soil, while any advantages it may possess we
never could discover.
Our plan is to dig trench six or eight
inches in depth, and to fourteen WIDE then
loosen the bottom thoroughly from six to
eight inches more, and mix completely this
soil with an abundance of short, well rotted
barnyard manure. The plants should be wa
tered early in the morning and in the evening,
and shielded from the sun from nine or ten
to five o'clock, until they are firmly estab
lished and well started to grow. In few
weeks they should have applied, once or
twice week, II liberal dose of strong manure
water
AS the plants grow the soil should be grad
ually drawn up to them; and any surplus or
weak leaves should be removed As they
increase in growth the amount of soil should
be also increased always being very careful
that the "leader" of the plant is kept clear of
any obstruction. This is very important
when the plant has pretty much its entire
growth, and the "walling" or banking-up
process begins
Cool weather is no drawback to celery
In fact in October the plant grows more Wig
orously than at any other time. Let it be
remembered that with a moist, rich soil and
careful attention, the celery crop is rs certain
as any other; but there is no other that will
so markedly show the effects of neglect and
bad treatment. 1t will simply result in
waste OF whatever time and money may have
been bestowed upon it,

There is young editor wandering on the
face of the earth who formerly published n
paper at Storm Lake, Iowa He left there
the day after the issue of the last paper, and
is supposed to be crossing the State on foot

young ladies of the city, and the gallant

ty, and he wrote up the cattle also.
The cross.eyed foreman of the office got
the two articles mixed up as follows:
The concert given last evening by sixteen
OF Storm Lakes most beautiful and interest
ing young ladies, was highly appreciated
They were elegantly dressed and sang in IL
most charming manner winning the plaudits
of the entire audience, who pronounced them
the finest short-horns in the county. A few
OF them are of rich brown color, but the
majority are spotted brown and white Sew,

He Got the Desired Information,

1t was in the smoking car on the New York
Central. There was one chap who was blus.
tering great deal and telling of how many
duels he had fought, and behind him sat a
small man reading magazine.

around, what would you do if you were
challenged"

"Ah thought Ms much Refuse and be

When the little man let go of the big mans
nose. the man with the white hat on began
to crouch down 10 get away from the bullets
but there was no shooting.
The big man turned red, then pale, then
looked the little man over and remarked
"Certalnly-of course-that's il exactly"
And then the conversation turned on the

of help. AS he paused, trembling, anxious,
irresolute, he remembered how often his
father had said that no wreck should ever be
his fault, and it was q terrible night
Henry knew what his father would say, and
he at once rowed back. He returned TO the
house, stumbled up the dark stairs, got the
lamp, and ran up into the lantern. 1t took
him but moment to light the lamp, and the
glow spread out on the sea Aroused by the
glare, his father opened his eyes .r.

closed his eyes
Henry hesitated but he sal down in the
hard chair in which his father spent the night
watching. He knew what his father meant
The lights would go ont and needed care all
night.
And So Henry sat there. The wind howl
ed, the house shook and swaycd: the sea
birds dashed against the glass the rain beat
ON the roof, and all sorts of wild sounds
seemed to be in the air. Sometimes he got
up and bathed his fathers head with water
He brought r pillow and talked to him, but
he had no answer but amoan yet he never
cried. and he never ceased to keep the lights
burning bright and clear"
II seemed to him nearly morning when he
heard pounding at the light house door He
knew il was some one seeking shelter and
h. went down and opened the door. There
stood II man, Il hoy, and-his mother
Henry cried then. And he laughed and he
cluhG around his mothers neck, and he pour
cd out that his father was hurt and he had
kept the lighthouse burning. and had to
leave Lucy, and all of il in one breath.
But, said his mother. pushing back her
wet hair, Il do not understand Where is
you father? And where is Lucy ?"
He is UP stairs. left a note for you by

CHICAGO, August 10.-A Watertown,
Wis, special says. The winter wheat crop
Just harvested, is the finest ever raised
here. and small damage occurred to that in
shock. The barley crop was damaged con-
sidcrably in quality. Rye escaped injury,
though oats sarebadly lodged. The best yield
ever known is looked for. Spring wheat
will turn out well. The benefit to corn will
more than counterbalance the injury rains
have done other crops. Southern Illinois
reports say that corn has improved
greatly in condition by the rains,
and other crops are comparatively little in.
jnred., 4 St. Paul special says THE past
two days the weather has been irreproacl,.
able for harvesting, cool, breezy and drv.
In Dakota, the barley is harvested and
mostly secured. Oats will soon be ready
and promise 90 TO GO bushels to the acre.
Wheat is filling finely and some cutting
will be done this week.
MONTREAL August l0.-Crop reports
gathered from about 100 places in Ontario
and. Quebec, show the fall wheat is proving
one OF the best crops on record, and spring
wheat rather more than the average. Ilav
will be a FUR average; barley rather over
than under. Peas and oats will make
heavy crops, and roots are promising well.
