"Well, perhaps So, was my answer,
"but, as some really good results
have shown up lately, I would like
you to try It," And, sure enough,

quietly digested, and proved just the

trying in every case OF forenoon dys-
pepsia when ordinary diet fails.

Culture of Celery.

From the Practical Farmer.
Celery is one ofthe most delicate and
wholesome Of vegetables. Every farm
er's garden ought to have bed Of
celery. Gardeners do not agree as to
the best meth DDS OF culture any more
than do wheat farmers agree about
the best methods Of wheat culture.
But there are certain general prin.
ciples that will apply and need not be
discussed.
Celery seed does not terminate and
grow rapidly. 1t needs moist soil CON
tinuously. And whether one uses
boxes or outdoor beds. the soil must
be old, fine and rich. In Kansas the
seed may be sown any time from the
LIST OF March until the LIST of May.
Choose the seeding time to correspond
to the time when the matured plant
is to be used. If you want the
plant for early use, then SOW early,
if late, then SOW late. Be particu.
lar about the soil in which
the seed is sown. Remember, it must
be old and fine and rich, and if the out
door bed is used it ought to be deep.
For some reasons it is better to use
boxes. They will be better cared for
probably. and that is the principal
reason. II boxes are used make theml
about four inches deep and fill with
soil as above described, SOW the seeds
thinly in rows. then press the soil
down compactly and cover lightly
with rich, fine earth, likeleaf mold. The
earth must be kept moist. II the seed
ing is done early the boxes should be
exposed to the open air every mild
day. but taken under shelter at night
and kept in a temperature above freez.
ing. Ii the seeding is not done until
there is no further danger OF cold
weather, then the seeding ought to be
done in an outdoor bed. Don't Tor.

Potato improvements Dakota.

The Late Rose potatoes grown in
the neighborhood OF Pembina and St.
Vincent in upper Dakota, near the
10th parrelled Of north latitude, are
remarkable both for size, beauty of
form and color, and more remarkable
still for high quality. When grown in
middle latitudes in Illinois and Iowa.
the title OF "rose," so far as inside or
outside color is concerned, is a mis-
homer, the skin being dull red and
the flesh inside showing only OCCASION
ally a reddish tint. The Dakota Late
Rose is smooth, round and large, the
color, if not rose, is very near to it,
while the flesh inside is marked and
embelllshed with blush rose as deli
cate as it is beautiful. Ii the Dakota
Late Rose has a iault it is in being so
charged with starch that the outside
falls off and goes to pieces before the
inside is done. should like to know
how the climate and soil of the valley
Of the Red River of the North affect
the Early Rose.
The Early Rose has degenerated in
Illinois so as to become in form and
size OF tuber like the Lady-hnger of
forty years ago, though it still retains
it's good quality for the table and
measurably its early habit. 1t is GEN
orally thought that the Irish potato,
like other plants propagated from
cuttings and not from seed, gradually
deteriorates and dies outin the course
OF q whole or half life time And such
appears to have been the fate OF the
popular varieties of the last twenty
five years, the Peachblow for late and
the Early and Late Rose for early.
But it seems the soil and climate of
Dakota have q certain power for re-
generation in the case OF the Irish
potato, and it may be good policy to
obtain seed there and also to send
our old favorites there to he cnitivat-
ed and cared for SO they may obtain
a new lease OF life--N. Y. Tribune.
