Peter Henderson III The American
Farmer Saws be knows Of 20 vegetable
on the cisitisation Of which there is SO
much useless laber expended IS Oh
celery. This is he Tsason so few uulti-
Yate It for their own use, and why
those shO attempt 1t DO not succeed
better. The chief difficulty is IN blaneh-
ing it weli, and in seeuringsa place for
Il where ii is easily accessible. Al
though often prepared for the table
late in autumn or early in winter,
there are few who care much fer it at
those times when an abundance Of
fruit can be had, aud when 50 many
ether vegetables are easily obtained.
On the approach Of spring and when
the warm weather Of April arrives,
well prepared celery becomes delicious
and is eargerlv sought. The great
point, therefore, is to have it ready
immediately after the departure Of
the coolest winter weather. We
have long been in the practice of
blapehiRg it in narrow trenches, one
spade wide, and deep enough to adj
nit the whole length Of the plants
standing erect in the trenches, which
are thickly ceverd with forest leaves on
the approached winter But this mode
Of packing them away late in autumn re-
9aries much more care and labor, aud
they are not very accessible for use
when wanted.
A SIMPLER, easier and better mode,
at least for modern supplies, is to keep
the plants, when taken up, entirely
away from earth, if intended for winter
bianehing. About the middle of
November they are taken up onaa dry
day, and placed in water-tight troaghs,
or other vessels, in a quite dark cellar,
the plants standing erect and close
together Enough water is poared on
the roots toacover them, and the sup
ply is confined through winter as it
eraporates. This constitutes the en-
tire labor. The stalks arc gradually
and handsomely blanehed IN the dark
ness, and many new ones spring up
during the winter months, especially
if the apartment is not very cold, and
these new shoots arc remarkable for
their deiicaey and perfect freedom
from any particle Of rust, appearing
like polished ivory. a small separate
apartment 10 the cellar, without win
dows, answers well for this purpose.
Boxes, tubs, or any Yessels which will
hold a few inches of water may be
employed. The plants, as grown m
the open gound, need not be eartbed
up at all, or they may besiightly earth
ed to bring them into a more com
pact form if desired. Probably the
best way would be to adopt the course
which is sometimes employed of set
ting out the plants in summer on the
level surface of deep, rich soil, eight
or ten inches, ora foot apart each way,
in order that their close growth may
tend to give them a more upright
form. They are merely keptclean by
hoeing through the season. l

ssmhHH Sugar Game Patches ON
Small Farms.

]
Daniel Bennett in n. o. Pieayune,
There are many smalfarms 10 the
Gulf states that have about an acre OF
sugar cane, and make from that acre
their seed for another year, and syrup
enough for home use and often some
to spare. They can always get labor
for syrup as easily as they can get it
for greenbaeks.
In October, those farmers who make
sugar can usually put up seed cane in
season toayoid ahari frost. a slight
frost makes il sweeter and increases
the yield Of syrup, and does not injure
it for seed.
In putting up seed in latitude 80
deg. and higher up The cane is usually
dug up BY the roots. They have no
confidence in stubble cane. They
select high rolling ground that drains
well, dig a pit eight or ten feet wide
and a spade deep-some 60 deeper
| put The roots on the bottom Of the pit
in a row, the Top lying on the ground
in the first row, they cover the roots
with earth slightly, and then pat down
another and another row, until the
work is done. They usually put up
$500 to 5000 stalks to plant an acre.
The whole mat is covered with dirt
from four TO six inches deep. The
seed usually keeps well put up in this
manner

There Is no more heathful method
Of keeping the stables, sheds, and pens
clean, than to give them a good coat
Of lime-wash. The wash is easily aud
quickly made as follows: Stake a
Bushels of fresh lime in pork, Or
ether barrel, with water enough to
make thick paste, after which fill up
the barrel with hot water, and let it
stand for few hours. This wash may
be applied ID various ways. 1t may
be spresd upon the wall with a white
wash brush, and no pains need be
taken to do a neat Job. Whatever
wash falls upon the floor in the opera
iion, is not lost, but helps to sweeten
The stable Or stall, The quickest and
most satisfactory method, is to nse a
force pump, BY which the lirpe-wash
can Be thrown info every corner.

SAL" For some reason the State authorities
seem to have taken no action on this letter,
for a Times reporter who hunted Up H. b.
Sinks, found him in new quarters, but still
ostensibly pushing Che Claims of the "Van
Horn and Van SAINT association" He said
the Won Horns were heirs to the Woltert
Webber estate il Holland, and also to- prop
eIty in Bergen, n. j., and that the associa-
tion now had more than two hundred mem
beFs in twenty-five States. "We have not"
he said, had sufficient money to prosecute
our claims either in New Jersey or Holland.
1t costs 500 to become a member of the Van
Horn and Van SAINT association, and the
monthly dues are % cents. We have also
formed stock company for the prosecution
of other claims The shares are s. each.
He could not be got to talk of details, but
gave the visitor q number of little printed
pamphlets which he said would tell him all
about what had been accomplished by the
society thus far. A perusal of the pamph-
lets, which purported to be annual reports of
the proceedings Of meetings of the associa
ton, etc, did not throw single ray of light
on the validity of the claims. The burden
of the pamphlets consisted of appeals for
more money and cautions to the members Of
the association not to give any information
to anyone not member. There is no room
TO doubt the fraudulent character of the en-
terprise.

every country and every cline is represent

been fed on the fat of the land, cannot be
borne ont, for, with the exception Of the
extras he took at the court house during the
trial, his diet has been from the first, good,
substantial, plain food. Generally, if his
meat has been sweet and the quantity sufli-
cient, he has been satisfied. 1t is customary

President Arthur while visiting Washing

Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, was just break
fasting with a distinguished party Of gen.
tlemen, among whom were Lord Vaudeville,
Mr.. Jerome Of New York, and the son Of the
dead poet, Mr.. Longfellow. sent my card
to Mr.. Bennett and in the interval inspected
the boat, which is 23G feet long and 20 feet
wide, runs fourteen knots an hour and is
lighted at night by Edjson'3 electric lamps.
The boat is beautifully finished in hard
wood and the cabins upholstered in the
most elegant style in velvet Of sage-green
color. The floors Of the saloons are covered
with Turkish rags; the berths are draped i'll
Persian tapestry and the beds covered with
silk-embroidered spreads done in the latest
designs of Kensington-art needle-work. The
ladies saloon is q gem that would throwinto
the shade the luxuries Of an Eastern harem.
Several well-designed and artistically paint
ed acquarelles grace the walls, while on the
centre-table lay yrichly-bound copies of Long
fellow, Shakespeare and other standard au-
thoTs. Each state-roOm contains bath-tub
and stationary wash-stand with running
water. The crew numbers twenty officers
and men. Mr.. Bennett is like in appearance

ADMIRAL RODGERS WILL.

The will of Rear Admiral John Rodgers
was made in June, 1879, and in case he died
before his wife to her was given all the es-
tate of every description absolutely. In case
he should survive her, then he leaves to his
son, William J.. Rodgers, United States navy,
the silver plate received by the deceased
from his mother, and which was presented
to his father by the city of Baltimore. Also,
the silver water vase, engraved with the
fight between the Weehawken and the At
Ianta also, his Russian sword. All the resi-
due ofthe silverplate is to be divided into five
equal parts, Of which William receives one,
and Frederica Louisa and Helen Theodosia,
his daughters, two parts each. In the event
Of the children dying, the plate is TO be di-
vided equally between the other two of their
descendants. All the residue Of the estate,
real, personal and mixed, is to be divided
among his children.

VICTIMS OF BhsELEss HOPES.

An investigation made by Philadelphia
exchange recently will quash the hopes Of
great many persons who have imagined
themselves entitled to fortunes as the heirs
of people who died many years ago in Eng
land, Holland, or other foreign countries.
There are several associations formed for the
purpose Of recovering such estates. 1t ap-
pears, however, that these associations are
misled by foreign adventures, whose pur-
pose in holding out glittering hopes is easily
apparent. The subject was brought to the
attention of the authorities of Pennsylvania
by q letter from Secretary Blaine to Governor
Hoyt, dated Washington, June 10, 1881, in
which Mr. Blaine says, after speaking OF the
generally baseless nature of most of these
claims, and asserting that they are gotten up
by designing persons for purposes of their
own gains, these persons generally living in
foreign countries: i have, however, come
into possession of the inclosed original let
ter, addressed to a worthy resident of Gales
burg, Mich, by one Ii. B. Sinks, styling him.
self secretary of the Van Horn and Van SAINT
association, and purporting to be written
from its Office, at No. 81 Walnut street,
second floor, back. The internal evidence of
this letter, coupled with the known fact that
the socalled Wolfert Webber estate (of
some hundreds Of millions Of dollars) is alb
solutely non-existent creates in my mind
grave doubts as to the good faith of the
writer. l commend this letter to your peru
