Keeping and Feeding Pumpkins.

should they be fed?
Ans.-1. They are good feed for both
hogs and cows. 2. Pumpkins, to keep

ed to freeze. A cellar might be made
and SO we'll ventilated as to be dry
enough to keep them fairly well the
better way is to feed them as fast as
the stock will eat them, so as to use
them before cold weather. This does
away with the necessity of protecting
them against frost; and, then, In very
cold weather, too much such succulent
food is not good for stock, anless they
are warmly housed. The proper way
to feed pumpkins is to open them and
remove the seeds, as these have an ac-
tive diuretic effect upon the stock, which
often more than counterbalances the
good expected to be gained by feeding
the pumpkins. On breaking them
open, by throwing them upon planks
or the hard ground, the seeds are jar
red loose and are easily removed. When
fuel is not too expensive, by cooking
the broken pumpkins in large watts and
mixing corn-meal with the mass, q very
valuable hog feed is produced, and one
on which the hogs will very rapidly
grow and fatten.

Earthing Celery.

A writer in the Rural New Yorke
describes a method of earthing celery :
Here is the way celery is earthed up
to blanch in this neighborhoodE First,
the earth is warked mp to 1t with the
hands the leaves being held close to-
gether with one hand; this is what is
termed handling. Then it Is allowed
to grow for o week or ten days, when
common brown wrapping paper is
wrapped around the stalks and tied
with Irvine, and the earth is worked up
to within one inch of of the top of the
paper. In about a week or ten days it
is wrapped and tied as before, and the
earth is partially worked up to the top
of the paper. In q short time it will
be bianched sufficiently for use, which
may be known by the blanched stalks
growing out at the top of the paper.
For crispness, tenderness and fine flaw
or, I think celery grown in this way
cannot be excelled. Certainly it takes
work to tie and wrap it, but | think all
lovers of this excellent vegetable witt
feel repaid for the extra work when
they have eaten it treated in this fash.
ion."
Another way lately described is tc
use q piece of very light tin to wrap the
stalks after removing all dry or worth
less leaves, then a common three inch
drain tile over it to remove the tin.
Good success is reported with this
method and a great saving of labor.
