A mother writes to me: "What shall
! teach my daughtersp" This one inn
portant and tremendous fact. my sister:
That there is no happiness in this
world for an idle woman. 1t may be
with hand. it may be with brain, 1t may
be with foot; but work she must, or be
wretched forever. The little girls of
our families must be started with that
idea. The curse of our American
society is that our young women are
taught that the first. second, third,
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh. tenth,
tiftieth, thousandth thing in their life
is to get somebody to take care OF
them. Instead of that, the first lesson
should be how. under God, they may
take care of themselves. The simple
fact is that majority of them do have
to take care of themselves, and that.
too, after having, through the false
notions of their parents wasted the
years in which they ought to have
learned how successfully to maintain
themselves. 1t Is inhuman and cruel
for any father or mother who pass their
daughters into womanhood having
given them no facility for earning their
livelihood. Madame de Stael said:
1T is not these writings that ! am
proud of, but the fact that have facil-
ity in ten occupations, In any one OF
which could make livelihood" We
should teach our daughters that work
of any kind. when necessary,is credit
and honor to them. 1t is a shame for
q young woman. belonging to large
family, to be inefficient when the
mother and father toll their lives away
for her support. 1t is a shame for d
daughter to be idle while her mother

CHUFAS.

TTALF AN ACRE of very thin
11 sandy land was planted in chu-
fas in 1889 to be gathered by
swine.
A portion of the area was careful
ly gathered by sections of the class
in agriculture, picking by hand the
nuts from each hill. These were
measured green and showed i yield
per acre of 172 bushels. Assuming
q shrinkage of one third in drying,
the yield per acre. of dry chufas was
1854 bushels.
Eight average hills were selected,
from which the ch0fas were careful
ly gathered and counted. The av-
erage number per hill was found to
be 56S, or production of 568 nuts

CELERY.

WALKING through the markets
wv We are delighted with the
abundance of celery lunches,
with their white stems and green
tops the delight of cooks and pride
of the vendor. Little is thought by
the buyer what work and trouble it
needs to raise it.
Celery is raised from seeds. Great
care must be taken to have the seed
bed in the best possible shape of
pulverisation; clean from weeds,
roots especially, because the seed is
slow in terminating, sometimes TAX
ing three weeks to break ground.
Sow in rows six inches apart, rather
thick, cover with rake and press the
ground firmly so the sprouts can
take hold at once. To press the
earth firm after seeding is general
rule in gardening, to save at least
one-third of the seed. In small
gardens hoe or board will do,
while in fields it is best to walk on
the seed. Mix some radish seed
with your CELERY seed, and water the
seed bed 6very other day at tevenings
with tepid water. We will state
here that celery likes abundance of
moisture; not stagnant water, but
frequent waterings either by rain,
sprinkling or irrigation.
After the plants are two or three
inches high, transplant them into
another bed three inches apart, tax
ing great care not to cover the heart
leaf, as that would kill the plant.
Before the time comes to set the
plants out into the field have your
ground prepared. The most suita-
BILE ground is rich, black loan. Plow
it deep, manure it we'll, pillow shall
low furrows four feet apart, mix
some guano and ashes with the ssil
in the row, and you ARE ready for
the plants.
Before taking up the plants, water
the bed thoroughly, take spade or
fnrk and dic them ont in l,Imns and
then break them off easy. Take a
. pair of scissors, cut off the leaves,
but not the heart, also clip the lower
part of the main root. This is done
to make the plants stockI. Plant
them six inches apart, always taking
great care not to cover the heart
leaf.
As the plants grow, cultivate be-

Canned Pears.

Prepare the syrup for the finer va

of a pound of sugar and pint of

this is coming to a boil peel the
pears, dropping each into a pan
of cold water to prevent discol-
oring, then put them very carefully
into the boiling syrup and cook
them till they can easily be pierced
with fork. Have the jars hot,
pack the pears as closely as posi-
BILE and fill to overhowing with the

tween the rows with horse cultiva-
tors, hoe around. the plants so as to
keep weeds out. When the plants
have attained the height of eight
inches, the earthing up process COM
mences; that is, we bank the soil
around the plants with our hands.
Take the stems into your left hand,
press them gently together to a
bunch, put three inches of dirt
against it with your right, then grab
the bunch with the same and push
the dirt with your left against the
other, thus forming a mound around
the plant, which keeps the stems in
good position for banking, and gives
more time for bleaching the bud end
of the plants.
From this on, one more cultiva-
ting, sometimes none, is all that's
necessary until bleaching time.
Bleaching means the discoloring of
the green stems. Naturally, celery
is green; as we buy it the stems are
white. This whitening is mostly
attained by banking the earth up
against the plants so only the tops
can be seen. This calls for much
labor and necessitates the distance
of rows to four feet; it also caused
many gardeners to plant their Gel
cry in deep trenches, a system fol-
lowed by English gardeners, but
now out of fashion in this country.
Before banking up, it is advisable
to tie the stems loosely together,
some wrap paper around it; all of
which is not necessary when the
new mode of bleaching is practiced.
This method consists in the use of
small tiles, which are set in the
rows, the overground part of the
plant put in it 50 that only the tops
will stick oct. 1t is claimed that
the tops will exclude the light to
such degree as to bleach the stems
in three to five weeks. This idea
originated in Long Island, N. Y,
and saves half of the ground, as two
feet distance between the rows will
be enough, does away with the
banking up, and is much easier.
Celery loves plenty of moisture
and cool nights. In the Northern
States September and October are
credited as celery making months.
In our climate the time OF seeding
must naturally change from April
or May to August and September.
Celery can be kept in cellars for

MILLET FOR HAY.

ONE advantage with this crop is
| that it requires only a short time
to make good growth, while on
a good soil large yield can, r,ith
proper care, easily be obtained. An
other advantage is that it can be
sown after nearly or quite all of the
other seeding is done, and the pros
poets for hay from the meadows and
clover fields can be reasonably we'll
detelspined. There are few crops
that can be depended upon to make
up any deficiency there may be in
the hay crop SO readily as millet or
Hungarian grass.
Though it is often sown on thin
land, the yield there is not so good
as upon strong land. Care should
always be taken to prepare the soil
well before sowing the seed. A very
light covering only is needed. A
good plan is to pillow and harrow the
soil into good tilth, and, if neces-
sary, roll it. Then SOW the seed,
using a light harrow or brush to
cover them. A broadcast seeder is
an economical implement to use in
sowing. When it can be done it
will be best to SOW as soon as posi-
BILE after rain rather than just be-
fore. Hard, dashing rains not only
often wash the seed, but also, if the
sun comes out warm, crust will
form over the top, through which
the tender plants cannot force their
way. 1t is best always to use plcn-
ty of seed, pecially if grown for
hay. On good rich soil 16 quarts
will not be too much. With grasses
of all kinds a good stand is import
ant, and plenty of seed must be used
if this is secured. When millet is
grown for hay it must be cut reason
ably early. If delayed too long the
quality will be impaired. Cut just
as the seed begins to form, or as
near that stage as possible. The
