The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Crow

An old farmer who lived somewhere
on the Hudson, below Albany, was in
the habit of taking a few summer board.
ers to exc out the earning of the farm.
Like most farmers who take summer
boarders and have at the same time
convenient market for their produce, this
thrifty successor of the Knickerbockers
was accustomed to send all the best pro-
ducts of his farm and garden and the
choicest butter from his dairy to market,
often returning from town with inferior
articles which he had purchased at q
greatly reduced price, safely hidden
away in his wagon box, to be struggled
into the kitchen and palmed off upon the
contiding boarders as home grown pro.
duce. Finally some of the boarders be.
gan to grumble. They had boarded in
the country before and knew well what
fresh vegetable and berries, new laid eggs
and "grass" butter were, and were con
scious of the fact that they were not get
ting what they were entitled to. To all
their complaints the farmer returned an.
swer, they were entirely ''too partickler;"
that it was foolish and simple to pamper
ones appetite: that ordinary food was
best in the long run, and winding up invar-
iably with the remark: 81 kin eat any
thing, 1 can eat crow"
This last remark was repeated SO often
that it made an impression on one of the
boarders, who, being out shooting one
day, and having popped over acrow, de.
termined to put the gastronomic abilities
of his host to the test. He carried the
bird home, and had the cook dress il
and gave her instructions to cook it for
dinner. Then, fearful that the farmer
might have a stomach even for such 6
dish and so make good his boast, he
slipped into the kitchen where the bird
was cooking and seasoned it with Scotch
snuff. In time the dish was sent to thu
able and the boarder placed it before
the host with the remark: "Now vol
have steadily proclaimed your ability tt
eat crow. Here is one cooked to {
turn. Try it," The farmer was some
what taken back, but had too much
pluck to acknowledge himself heater
without trial. He accordingly attacked
the dish with the remark: 81 kin d.
it." At the second bite he repeated
81 kin eat crow" and as he suddenly
suspended the operation of cutting tn
third mouthful and began te retreat to
ward the door, he added, "but dang m

Growing Pansies.

This is one of our most popular flow
ers, and though it is popular and to be
found in most gardens, comparatively
few people understand its proper cult
walton with view of obtaining the
finest flowers. They will go into the
grounds of the florist and express amaze
ment at the great size and beauty of
the pansies they see there, will forthwith
purchase supply for their own planting,
and will be charmed with them, and be
determined to grow the same on their
own premises, though their previous
efforts have so signally failed. When
asked how they had been growing them,
they often reply; II got some from a
neighbor, who has large beds of them,
but they are all so small" When told
that they should SOW the seed of the
finest of those obtained from the florist
as soon as the seed was matured-say,
some time in August-and that that was
the only way to have fine, large flowers,
the idea was jumped at That is the
way to get them. Every August the
seed of the largest and most desirable
should be sown, and the old ones dug
up and thrown away. And we should
say that this is easy enough to do when
it is once known. In the winter the
plants should be lightly covered. There
are new pansies advertised every year,
but any one, growing them carefully and
taking, as we say, the seed from the
best every year, will be as likely as any
body to have large new kinds, and will
thus save the expense of purchasing
them, which, at most, last only for a
single blooming, - Germantown Telegraph.

She Fitted Him.

The other day when the Illinois Cen
tral train pulled up to the platform at
Wapela, a stout, rosy-cheeked country
girl boarded it. and sat down on

considerably taken back, but he began a
lot of small talk as the train pulled out,
and the sturdy old farmers in the coach
gradually became thoroughly angered as
he sat up close to her and took her hand
in his, and leaned on her shoulder and
whispered to her.
"Just as the train was pulling into
Bloomington the girl began to cry, and
there were four old men on their feet in

his, mind to thresh the dude within an

Celery Culture

Celery Culture.
First-Send where you will be sure to
get good seed.
Second-Prepare a seed bed out of
doors in a sheltered situation. You will
get your plants early enough by so doing,
for they grow much faster and are
much stronger than when grown in
hotbed
Third-Sprinkle the bed often to keep
it moist, and when the young plants are
about three inches high transplant them
into rows, putting them about three inches
apart in the rows and the rows about one
foot apart.
Fourth-When the plants have become
stocky have trench dug about one foot
deep, put into it equal parts of wood
ashes and good rich dressing and rich,
black soil, and work all together with a
hoe.
Fifth-Set the plants about five
inches apart, and be sure to straighten
out the roots and press the soil firmly
about them.
Sixth-Sprinkle them enough to keep
them fresh until they are firm in their
places, and then give them all the
water you have mind to-the more the
better.
Seventh When they have made
growth enough to cause the branches to
lie over, hill up enough to hold the stalks
erect. Continue the killing process at
intervals of two weeks, all summer, be-
ing careful to do it when the weather is
dry and in the afternoon when the dew
is off Be sure when killing to hold
the stalks together, to prevent the
soil from getting into the heart of the
plants.

Important Facts in Peach Culture.
The peach affords striking example
of the benefits derived from careful, sys-
tematic culture. To a neglect of the
few essential rules which in every case
should govern peach growing, may be
attributed the large percentages of fail
ures in peach culture. Josiah Hopes,
West Chester, Penn, writing to the
American Pathological society on this
subject presented some important facts
for consideration.
The peach is especially partial to a
loose, rich soil well drained and with
suitable protection from destructive
northwest winds. Mr.. Hopes has OBJ.
served for many years that Excessive
high winds from the above quarter will
invariably affect trees disastrously, which
coming from other points of the com
pass even at lower temperature, would
not seriously affect vegetation. Excess
i've dryness in conjunction with high
winds and very cold weather is what az
fects vitality, and moisture proves a
safeguard"
To produce vigorous. healthy growth
in young peach orchard it is necessary
to stir the soil deeply in advance Of
planting, at the same time enriching the
soil, but not with superabundance o.
stimulating organic manures. Trimming
especially when young, Mr.. Hopes re

phasizes the importance of thinning ou
