BlanchinS Celery.

Edgar Sanders describes in the Prairie
Farmer his method of blanching celery
in autumn which with some modification
may be employed to advantage by those
who raise small quantities for their home
supply. Instead of drawing up success

plants, he covers them with wide boards

err, enabled him to have his earliest
supply of this vegetable ready for mar

supplies came afterward. The special
advantages of this mode as they occur
to us are obviously the following, The
covering is done much more easily and
rapidly than with soil the plants will not
be rusted or injured by contact with the
earth; and the cover is easily removed
when the plants are wanted. The pre-
cautions: needed wos,ld be: First earth

an erect position, bringing the edges of
the boards closely together at the top to
exclude light and drawing little earth

support the boards might be secured in

He Took the Risk.

Extortion is more peremptory than
particular. It takes for the sake of TAX
ing when it cannot have what it wants.
A correspondent of the Wall-Street
News relates this characteristic anec-
dote OF the common tithing system and
it's founder:
When Brigham Young was alive, he
collected his tenth of the farmer with q
persistency that stopped at nothing.
On one occasion, he called before him a
subject who has since removed to this
state, and said,-
brother Blank, you have not brought
in my wheat this year."
II didn't raise single bushel," was
the reply.
II have none"
'Well hay will do"
II have no hay.u

'Both crops were failure, 0 wise
Prophet. All I have off my farm are
ten bushels of onions, and of course the
Lord doesn't want onions"
"Mayhe not" growled the old man;
"but you bring me in bushel and we'll
take the risk Of it,"
Mr.. Blank said that it was that bushel
Of onions which convinced him that
there was sOmthing suspicious about old
Brigham's inspirations.
| The incident if it be true, exhibits the
spirit Of the so-called prophet, but in a
! good cause the giver shows the right
! principle who offers his part of what Re
has, however simple it may be.

In cases where wood alone is used it is
found that it usually takes one-half cord
per each one hundred gallons of strip

the rate OF about one thousand pounds
to each one hundred gallons manufac-

used as fuel there are found many cases
where the bagasses is used as auxiliary
to one or the other, and one case is re-

running an ordinary evaporator. The
price of coal is not given, and that for
