Transmitting Celery.

The soil best adapted to the perfect
growth of celery is deep. mellow,
sandy loan. rather moist in character,
but wei drained. The soil, OF what
ever character, should be rich and
thoroughly pulverized. Land MANFRED
the fall previous makes an excellent
bed. so does ground that has been lib
orally MANFRED in the spring FOR some
early vegetable crop as onions or
beets, if replowed and narrowed after
the first crop has been harvested.
Fresh manure is injurious to the
plants; it induces a rough growth and
renders the stalk pithy instead of
crisp.
In the Northern States celery plants
are set during the month of July and
at the South a month or six weeks
later Deep trenches have. Tor the
most part, been abandoned for the less
laborious and expensive mode of fur
rows drawn the same as for beets or
mangolds.
Select cloudy or wet weather for
transplanting celery when possible. If
done in dry weather the plants will
require .epeated warerings and shad-
ing until they are established. The
rows may be marked off four or five
feet apart and the plants separated
eight or ten inches in the row. Many
cultivators practice cutting back the
tops at transplanting to render the
plants stocky.
A mixture recommended by some of
our correspondents to incorporate with
the manure used in the burrows con-
sists of salt, SCOT and lime This, it is
believed, not only acts as preventive
to worms but promotes the growth of
the plants.
There is no doubt but that the rust
on celery is caused by particles Of earth
which ia in among the stems during
the process of killing when there is
rain or dew on the plants. The remedy
is obvious; avoid killing or earthing
up the plants except when they are
quite dry, and at the final occasion

TARM. GARpEN AM HOUSEHOLD.


We have inquiries concerning the
FEEDING value of ensilage. some of
which Show some confusion of mind
in REGARD to the subject. Bearing in
mind few general principles will help
TO a better understanding:
First--rhe value of food pr Served
in a silo depends very greatly on what
was nut in-its nature and condition.
The material used and the degree OF
maturity of the crop viii greatly affect
the value.
Second Putting grass, cornstalks or
other substance in silo does not add
anything to the nutriment contained
in the material We cannot take out
what we did not put in. Cutting and
storing the green food in a silo may
make it more digestible; may and
often does make it more palatable than
when the food is dried in the open air.
Letting the moisture dry from meadow
grass or from green cornstalks in itself,
should not make these substances less
desirable as food. In fact 1T does
makethem less palatable. Preserving
much of this moisture in the ensilaged
food may De help.
Third-If fermentation goes on in
the silo to any considerable extent
there is absolute less of food value.
Fourth-Reason and experience
alike lead us to conclude that we can
not make ensilaged grass or corhstalks
alone fully take the place Of good grain
feed. The latter should be given ia
connection with the former.
Fifth-Reason and experience alike
show that almost any palatable, nutri-
tious. succulent plant, kept in a silo,
with reasonable exclusion of the air,
makes a palatable and fairly satistac-
tory food. breeders Gazette.

An eminent engineer of to-day says

might, if it was put on the floor I'M

Bad Habits in the Poultry Yard.

Much of the trouble and vexation
created in the management of poultry
is caused by the fowls contracting
habits, which, when once formed, are
very hard to break. One of the prin-
cipal and most aggravating habits is
that of eating eggs.
When fowls are confined in close
quarters and have very little exercise
they get into the habit OF scratching
the straw in their nests for want of
some other exercise. After an egg
is once broken they, of course, eat it,
and in this way the habit is formed.
This as well as ali other habits are
formed only when the fowls are con-
fined in small yards and have very
little exercise, and anyth ing that offers
they are ready and willing TO do. This
is one of their worst habits and a very
hard one TO break Much has been
said on this subject; how ever, preven-
ton is far better and easier than cure.
To avoid all this trouble the fowls
should have plenty of occupation
outside of the hen-iouse. Give
them corn on the cob and
let them labor little for their
food-the more the better Another
bad habit, and one that is extremely
vexaJious to the fancier, IS that of
feather eating. This habit is also
formed purely from want of something
better to do and an appetite is soon
acquired When fowls are allowed to
run at large they gather innumerable
insects as wei as vegetable food Of all
kinds. and If a good supply of animal
and vegetable food is not given them
when confined these habits are easily
formed. Both Of these habits are ac-
quired by all breeds, but the rapid
LAYERS and non-setters are the worst

Sun recalls Preston Kings duel when
a young member of the legislature Of
the Empire State. The writer says:
He was a man of great sense as
well as humor, was for many years
member of Congress from st. Law
renee county, and afterward senator
from New i ork. His melancholy fate
by suicide from insanity while holding
the position of naval officer of this
port by jumping into the river, with
loaded pockets, from a Hoboken ferry
boat J, is still sadly remembered by
many friends and admirers.
His pungent wit in a speech in the
legislature once irritated fellow
member, who gave the measure OF his
own intellect by addressing him for
NAL challenge, from which resulted a
correspondence between the two. run
ming through several days. King
began by foregoing his right to hold
himself not responsible Tor words
spoken in debate, but presumed that
his adversary would concede to hin
the rights allowed by the code of honor
to the challenged party. Each one of
these conditions-time, place and
weapons-became the subject OF an
interchange of notes. He claimed
that, as he had accepted the charge OF
the interests of his constituency for
that session of the legislature,
and had various bills in charge
pending which required his atten-
tion, he could not consistently with
duty and honor fight before the
close OF the vession. This point being
conceded, he next claimed as reason
able, since the combat was forced on
him, that be was not bound to impose
on his friends the trouble and expense
of carrying his body home for inter-
ment. in the event of a fatal ISSUE
and he therefore claimed that the en-
counter should take place near his own
home in ST. Lawrence county, and he
named the banks of stream called, Ii
/ remember right, the Black river. His
antagonist accepted, and was the more
earnest in pushing the affair as Mr..
King seemed to be somewhat less so.
There remained only the question of
the weapons. Mr. King then, under
his right as the challenged party, re-
quired that they should stand, the one
on the one side of the stream and the
other on the other, and that the wea-
pons should be broadswords. But he
added that. as his opponent might not
be familiar with the broadsword exer-
else, if he should prefer pistols he was
will ng to accommodate him, though
he had never in his life fired any other
than a Fourth of July pistol. He
named certain conical hill on the
Black river. and proposed that they
should stand back to back on the top
of it, and walk off in opposite direc-
tions till they got to the bottom. and
then turn and fire. The history of this
model duel stops there. The sensa-
tions of the young fire-eater from the
metropolis q believe) when he next
day watched the circulation of this
correspondence around the 128 seats of
the assembly call for no historical
record.
