BLEACHING CELERY.
A Plan That has Many Advocates
Storing Process.

With tia increased consumption Of
'ealery, improved modes in it's culture
'heEe been adopted by progressive agri-
cU3turists. Numbered with these isn
proved modes is the pEGn of bleaching
celery by setting up boards foot wide
edgewise on either side of a rew Of
plants and pglling the soil up, aeains,
the lower edge or the board, so that the
light is expelled. The boards are kent
in position by short blocks notched to
fit Ethem and placed act las h top, or
any other continuance hat serves the
same purpose. The chief advantages
claimed for this mode oEer the Old
plan of earth bleaching are no rusts in
warm, wet seasons, and a saving of
labor.
The old method of drawing the Soil
&p against the celery gradually until
the bleaching is done, is still practiced
by many farmers. A plan that has
many advocates among small farmers
is that of digging trench as deep as
the plants and about one foot wide. and
placing the plants therein, retaining ali
the soil that adheres to the roots when
they are lifted. When the trench is
pacKeu clOSeJy Win plants set in the
same position as they grew, protec-
ton of straw, leaves, etc., is given to
keep off the frost.
If the celery crop is small one. it
may be stored in any cellar where there
is no fire h9at. One plan is to place it
in boxes little less in depth than the
celery is high, and from eight to ten
inches wide. Place a few inches of
sand on the bottom of the boxes and
pack the celery in as tightly as possible
without bruising. The boxes thus
packed may be placed on the floor of
the cellar. Larger quantities can be
stored in a cellar as follows: Place a
board On edge eight or zine inches
from the wall, put few inches of dirt
or sand on the floor, pack the celery in
perpendicularly, roots down. When
one row has been finished, another NAV
be made by putting up another board
eight or nine inches from the first; this
NAV be continued as long as desired
or til the cellar is full. A little above
freezing may be considered the best
temperature for winter keeping of
celery.

The cows of Georgia farmer got into
the pea field of his neighhor and de-
stroyed about ten bushels of peas. There
upon the latter farmer presented an ac.
count claiming 50 for ten bushels Of peas
at sixty cents per bushel. The owner Of
the cows examined the account and then
said: Look here, my cows ate up ten
bushels of your peas, but you know the
rules in gathering peas is TO give one
half for the gathering. SO you see my
cows were entitled to five bushels Of
those peas for picking them. Therefore
