How to P.aise Celery.

The potatoes, when plowed and we'll
hilled up, will leave just the trench re-
quired for the celery-plants. Stir some
fine fertilizer in the soil and set out the
plants; six inches apart in the rows,
pressing the soil firmly about the plants.
Set every other row with celery, and
this will leave abundance Of room for
earthing it up after the potatoes are re-
moved.
After setting the plants, water we'll;
and then with a rake draw the potato
tops over the rows of celery to shade
them from the hot sun. After couple
of weeks turn the potato-tops back; and
by the time the celery needs earthing up,
the potatoes will be ready to dig; after
which the celery may be plowed and
hillsd up in the usual manner. I raise
celery in this way with half the time
and trouble of any other plan. | am

at all with the indeed, the pota.

Girdling Fruit Trees.

Professor j. L. Budd, of the Iowa
Agricultural college, writes: Mr. j. B.
Spalding, of Springfield, Ill.,, has prao-
ticed ringing for fruit for a number of
years past. His plan at first was to
girdle every other tree in thickly plant
ed young orchards, but he now rings all
the trees. He rings the trees in the
latter part of April, which time with us
in the central district of Iowa would be
from the 10th to the 18th of May. He
takes off a ring of bark from the stem
One-half inch in width entirely around
the tree, taking care not to injure the
cambium layer under the bark. He
says: eff hard winters will kill the
trees, so much the more necessary for
getting them to bear when young,
hence begin to girdle when the trees
are but six years old. So far 1 have
found no harm resulting from the pro.
cess. 1t sets them to bearing at once,
and they bear full, too"

Alsike Glover.

We sowed small package OF Alsike
clover seed in our yard lastlspring and
it has been putting out blooms for a
couple of weeks. The blossom is about
two thirds the size of the red clover,
the corollas are pink round the outer
edge and the centre white. The stalks
bear about the same proportion in size
to the red clover that the blossoms do.
Where ever this clover has been intro.
duced it grows in favor with farmers.
Sweeter and finer, cattle prefer it to
the coarser red for pasture, and it
makes better hay on this account
The Alsike is new clover in this part
of the state, few persons knowing any.
thing 'out it. Anyone wi hing to ex-
anime 1t can see the plot in our yard.
The seed is very fine, being not larg
err than turnip seed. The plant is quite
productive yielding about four bushels
to the acre. 1t sells something higher
than red clover seed, and one bushel Of
seed is an abundance to sow Is acres
This clover stands drouth we'll which
is evidence that its roots strike deep
into the soil. The roots are more
branching than red clover, which make
it less liable to heave out by frost
Those who try it will find Alsike has
several points Of advantage over req
clover.

Why Crops on Rich Land are Less
Injured by Drought Than
on Poor Land.

Joseph Harris in his last series OF
"Walks and Talks in the Ayriculturist
answers this in the following paragraph:
IAN inch of rain furnishes about one
hundred and twelve tons of water per
acre. Every six inches of average soil
weighs about one thousand tons, and
after you have drained off all the water.
there is, according to Lawes and Gil
bert's actual analysis, about two hun
dred and fifty tons of water in each six
inches, or say five hundred tons in the
soil one foot deep. Of course, there is
great differen, Sc in soils. But the above
figures are worth bearing in mind.
For the production of one ton of dry
hay per acre, the plants pump up from
the soil and evaporate through the leaves
about three hundred tons of water
And the same is true of wheat, barley
and oats. A large crop takes more
water out of the soil than poor crop.
Lawes and Gilbert found that big
crop of hay, during dry summer, had
pumped up three hundred and twenty
five tons more water from the soil than
the poor crop on the unmanured plot.
But, Notwithstanding this fact, there
was more water in the first nine inches
of the rich land than on the unmanured
land. The big crop had pumped up
it's water from below. The soil, yard
deep on the unmanured land, with its
small crop, contained twenty two and
three-quarters per cent. of water, while
the adjoining land with its heavy
growth of hay contained at the same
depth less than sixteen and one half per
cent of water.

Labor and Capital.

The Wesiern Rural has done its best
to show labor that its only hope was
through the ballot box. Farmers have
generally agreed with us. Mechanics
and other laboring men have seemed to
disagree. Mr.. Powderly says that the
Knights of Labor are in no sense a
political organization and that it is also
opposed to strikes, which leaves the So
ciety to be as much of an ornament as
its beauty will warrant. The average
laborer seems to agree with Mr.. Pow
derby so far as keeping aloof from intel
ligent politics is concerned, but Judging
from recent events he believes in strikes
and terrific ones at that. He has struck
everywhere, with and without cause.
He has resorted to intimidation, to the
destruction of property and the destruc-
ton of general prosperity. He has
been encouraged by demagogues to do
pretty much as he pleases without re-
gard to the law or the usages of society.
He has tried his methods to the fullest,
and with what result? From present
appearances the result is that if he has
no other remedy than to strike he is
entirely hopeless. The Lake Shore
railroad has probably settled that point.
Its switchmen struck, employing the
usual violent tactics. The road tried to
get protection from the authorities but
failed. 1t then organized virtual army
of its own, and its business is now car
ried on under a sufficient guard armed
with Winchester rifles. If we are not
greatly mistaken this will be the rem.
edy of rich employers in all future
strikes. Hereafter men may quit work
when they like, but they will face Win
chesters whenever they attempt to in
terfere with men who may take their
places. This sort of remembrance to
evils fancied or real is probably at an
end. The boycott has been shown to
be crime under our laws, and labor is
worse off to day, after all the turmoil it
has created, than it ever was.
What does it propose to do? Submit
and let organized capital do with it as
it likes? We can prescribe remedy,
and it possesses the very best virtue that
a remedy can possess, it will not kill if it
does not cure. 1t is the ballot box.
Use the remedy as freely as the law
will allow. 1t costs nothing and IL
never goes off like Winchester rifle.

Thread and Sparrows.

A writer in the London Gardening
Illustrated says:
Sparrows can be kept from carnations,
&c., by stretching single black thread
round them, not more than two inches
from the ground-if higher than this
they hop under it and take no notice ;
the thread is best attached to stumps
arranged in triangle. No doubt some
single threads at the same height would
protect grass seed, if arranged here and
there across the lawn. One thread is
certain protection for row of peas
when first appearing, and renders pea.
guards, nets, &c., quite unnecessary !;
this plan has been advocated several
times in Gardening, and I cannot un-
derstand why it is not generally adopt.
ed, being cheap. simple, and perfectly
effective-at least, it has proved so with
me.

Prevent Called Shoulders.

I have found small collars and long
check-reins the best preventive. One
of my horses weighing 1880 pounds
wears collar less than eighteen and a
quarter inches long. Another weighing
l 900 pounds wears collar less than
sixteen and quarter inches long. AS
I unbuckle the collars to take them off
they are occasionally left about one
half or three-fourths of an inch longer,
and just as sure as they do a good days
work in them will show swollen places
in their shoulders or breast. With the
collars small I have never yet had the
horses CALLED, though these two have
for ten years worked over fifty acres of
plowed land per year on an average. l
have the check rein so that they can
hold their heads as low as they wish
when drawing, and most horses in that
case will not keep their heads higher
than their backs.
have several times found my horses
with swelled breasts when my hired
men have checked them up to keep them
from eating the corn when cultivating in
July. For the first ten or twelve years
I owned horses 1 was bothered every
year more or less with gals for used

AN INDIAN LEGEND.
The Passamaquoddies' Poetic Notion .
the Nature of Thunder.

The p assamaquoddies' Poetic Notion Q
the Nature of Thunder.
The Passamaquoddies still cling to
their old and poetic notion of the nature
of thunder. They believe that the
rumble of the thunderstorm and the
flashes of the lightning are the demon
STATIONS of thunder spirits who are
playing ball and shooting their arrows
in the heavens. There is tradition
that Passamaquoddy Indian one day
expressed desire that he might become
"a thunderer." All at once his COM
panionS saw him mounting to the sky
in the smoke of the camp fire. He was
taken up to the abode of the thunders,
placed in Il long box, and by some
mysterious process inv sted with the
properties and existence of thunder
spirit-or, as Louis M tchell puts, it, he
was '.thunderfied He lived for seven
years among the thunders, played ball
with them in the sky, shot his cleaning
arrows with them at the bird they are
always chasing toward the south, mar
ried female thunder spirit, and pur-
sued an active and contented life of
thunder and lightning.
Seven years after his translation a
violent storm passed over the encamp-
ment of the Passamaquoddies; there
was an unusual and frightful conten-
ton among the thunder spirits; the
rumbles were more terrific than Passa-
maquoddy ear had ever heard the air
smelled of birthstone; the sky blazed
with red and yellow flames; the clouds
opened and great forks of fire shot out
of them; the rain fell in sheets; peal
answered peal; one tongue of lightning
spat out fire to another; the affrighted
Passamaquoddies, who never had be-
held such storm, believed that the
legions of the thunder spirits were
waging their most awful war. They
fell down and crossed themselves. In
the midst of their alarm they saw a
human form slide down into Their camp
on beam of light. 1t was their old
friend. who had made his escape from
pursuing thunders, shaken off his
''thunderfied' existence and returned
to them. He had changed somewhat,
but all his old friends knew him. He
lived with the tribe till he died. -Lewis.
