Sowing Celery Seed.

The celery crop, except for very early
use, IS sOwn IN the open ground gener-
ally as soon as the soil can be got into
good condition after the frost leaves
it. The seed is somewhat slow in
terminating and it is generally sown
in beds for convenience of keeping clear
of weeds. The ground must first be
got into fine filth, and unless it is
already very rich, should have some
well-rotted manure thoroughly worked
in. Rake all smoothly, and then by
means of marker proceed to line out
rows nine inches apart, every ninth
being left vacant to form the alley.
Sow the seed thinly, one ounce gener-
ally being sufficient for a. bed fifteen or
twenty feet long, and more than
enough to raise a full supply for any
private family. A smoothing to cover
the seeds, and a patting down with the
back of the spade for a small bed, or
light roller when a large breadth is
sown, and the work is done. AS soon
as the rows can be seen by the young
plants breaking through, a light hoeing
is requisite to destroy the weeds.
Hand wedding will be necessary in tie
rows. Among the German market gar
deners nearly allis done by hand weed.
ing, generally performed by women, who
seem fond of garden work. 1t is a.
common practice as the growth adj

generally performed twice before trans
planting. For amateur use it is not
bad idea to transplant first into beds.

Making Straight Fence.

Spring is the time wnen fence-making
is in order. Something can be done at
this work before the ground is ready
for blowing. 1t would be great gain
if the crooked rail fences which disfg-
ure so many farms could be replaced
with straight fences. This can often
be done mainly with the material of
the old fence, and in this shape the
unsightly and inefficient rails become
a substantial and not bad-lookiug en-
closure. Good posts are, however,
essential. No post fencein our climate
will stand unless set three feet deep,
and it does not pay to dig thus deep
unless material is used where some
durability may be expected. Nor
should post fence be made where
after a few years no fence will be
needed. This is common mistake IN
making fences, especially as apost and
rail fence is mostly labor.
1t was formerly the practice to use
a stake beside the post to hold the
rails in position. But this requires
that all the rails shall be on one side
of the post, which makes it top-heavy

five miles were made in good shape,
but alas! breakers appeared before
the masthead, and we broke the rear

he had run against an "apple-jack-

it was only private entrance to the
mammoth cave concealed under an
innocent puddle of water. We got
out and rammed a fence rail under
the spring, and after saying few
words that would not print well in
the Sunday school books, we pressed
on.

Our next stop was on the blind side
of an apple orchard, this side of the
mountain. We enquired of several
apples if the owner was at home, and
was told he was not. This would
have made our visit pleasant had
noisy cur, which by some accident
was left at home, not put in his ap-

enemy and grew fat on apples-if not
happy on apple Jack.

Death of Hon. Asa Faulkner.

Hon. Asa Faulkner died at his
home two and a half miles from this
place about O'Clock Thursday even
ing, July 29th, aged few days over
"a years. Mr.. Faulkner had been
confined to his room with paralysis
for many months, and his death was
no surprise, though by no means less
sad. He needs no eulogium at our
hands. He was known personally or
by reputation to nearly every inhab-
liant of Warren and adjoining coun-
ties, and was universally recognized
as public benefactOr. He was the
nestOr of all of Warren county's manu-
featuring interests, and spent all his
long life in founding, nOurishing and
sustaining them. The name of no
man who has ever lived in Warren
county will be longer or more affec-
tionately cherished than Mr.. Faulk-
ner's. His public and private life
was pure and unblemished; he was
ever friend to the poor, and during
his life did more to assist this class
than any other man who ever lived
in the county. Thrown upon his
own resources at an early age, by his
own untiring efforts he carved his
way to thesummit, overcomingevery
obstacle and difficulty in life's jour
ney, and achieving degree of success:
that few men ever attain.
His remains will be inferred in thu

Another week has passed away and
the dizziness and stagnation of trade
is near the same that it has been for
some time.
Drummers are plentiful, all anxious
to show their goods, every one hav-
ing some special inducements to hold
out to their customers.
The fruit and berry trade seems to
be little sought after, and especially
dried apples. The best thing that
can be done is to turn the hogs to
them and feed them green. One cent
per pound for dried fruit and no mar
ket is just too much labor for nothing.

and friends met at the residence of
