Bean Rust and Other Fuugous Dis
eases.
Gardeners are beset upon all sides by de-
structlve agencies. says w. Il. Yeoman in
Popular Gardening. With the climatic
conditions, noxious insects and fungus dis
eases, theirs is life Of watchfulness and
aggressive warfare. 1t seems there is almost
no crop that the farmer attempts to produce
but that is liable to attack from some
source, and the number OF destructive dis
eases and insects is rapidly increasing, or
else the sharp eye of scie ltific Investigators
Is exposing those that have al eady existed.
In every farmers family the garden is
looked upon as an important Lelp in fur
nlshing during It's seas IN supplies for the
table, and such it is unless its products are
blasted and destroyed by foes. Some varie-
ties of vegetable growth have been fairly
exempted from destructive attacks I'D to a
comparatively recent period. This is the
case with the pole beans, that have of late
wears been cultivated to a considerable ex-
tent as market crops; but they seem to have
now come under tbs curse. First came the
bean weevil that injured early planted
beans; but still more destructive seems to
be fungus that attacks the foliage, soon
destroying it, and seeming to sap whole
life from the plant. IL first makes its ap-
pearance in small pots upon the leaves.
which rapidly increase until the leaf be-
comes dead. This is able to extend to the
pods, but even if it does not, it so affects
the plant that the pods will shrivel and dry
up, leaving the bean at the point of devel-
opment, attained at the time of the attack.
The leaves have a dark brown and rusty
appearance. and when tho disease gets hold
of them they ok somewhat as though they
had been scorched by heat
1t remains for scientific investigation to
| discover safe preventives of the disease.
If their spores retain their vitality after
the fall OF the leaves, and can reproduce
| themselves after winter, it would seem tnat
unless something is done by way OF pre-
ventive measures, but little time will elapse
before it will almost be an impossibility to

Celeriac, as the turnip-rooted celery is
usually called, Is quite popular among old
country people, especially Germans, says
Popular Gardening, but not generally
grown and appreciated in American home
gardens This may be due to its somewhat
peculiar flavor, to which one has to become
accustomed before one can get very fond of
it. We consider the bulb when boiled most
excellent for mixing with salads, or for
fiavoring soups; and the tops may also be
used as CUP celery.
It's cultivation is simply enough. Plants
are star ed in exactly the same way as COM
mon celery, either in cold frames or in ope

rows about eighteen inches apart, with ten
or twelve inches space between the plants.

SUN THE BLAlKsNAzE les.
They Are Perm Fighters, and Rattle
snakes are Less Terrible.


From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Ask am of the farmers or huatsTs in this
part of Monroe county whether they are
afraid Of rattlssnakes and they will answer
promptly that they don't mind them very
much. Ask them if they fear blacks axes
aud they will say yes without tine slightest
hesitation.
This fear Of blacksnakes has come down
to most Of them Fl. m their paren with a
story that none OF tAem is ever tiIe4 Of tell
ing They all declare thas is true. and it
Is So well known and 1t Is told with so much
solemnity ard eylde t fear by the natives
that it is hard TO disoelieve it. The story
runs like this:
Many wears ago a well-to-do farmer lived
with his family near the barren laud verg-
ing on Pike county. His wife was city
bred and unused TO many of the hardships
that are part of the farming woman's life.
Sne was strong AMI hardy, however. with
plenty of nerve aid grit enough to make
the best OF things. One day, - lille her hus-
band was worSing in a clearing good dis
lance from the house, she went down to a
spring for pail of water. As she stopped
over to fill the pail, blacksnake that had
been lying coiled near the spring jumped
at her.
She screamed and jumped back, but the
snake bad buried his fangs in her dress, and
before she could recover herself sufficiently
to shake him off he mad wound himself about
her so tightly as to prevent her from walk
ing. Then he began slowly to crawl upward
The poor woman struck at the snake with
her hands
They were badly bitten, but she was so
overcome with fright that sue d d not mind
this, and kept on striki G at him.
The serpent kept crawling up until his
coils we're about her breast. She tried to
tear him loose. but she was not strong
enough. She became nearly paralyzed with
terror. The snake finally coiled himself
around her neck and choked her.
She started toward the house, but she
had only gone short distance when sue
fell. In the evening she was found by her
husband lying dead, with the snake still
coiled about her neck.
This story, with the weH-known fact that
blacksnake is ever ready and willing to
fight anything that lives, makes the native
afraid of him, and the man who kills a
blacks AXE is thought to have won greater
battle than the slayer of dozen rattle
snakes.
"You can't brighten blacksnake," said
one old hunter, "and the more you try &c

Celery.

There are so many ways of preparing
this delicious vegetable. says Alice Winston
IN Home and Farm, that every one who
has garden should raise crop of it every
year, wind and weather permitting. 1t is
an error that it is too troublesome for any
one but professional gardener to succeed
in. All say is, give it a fair trial one
year. Follow the directions of Henderson
or some other modern authority on the SUBJ
ject. Use good seed, keep clear of weeds,
and you will find it is no more trouble
than tomatoes or cab age.
Besides being one of the best, it is one of
the most wholesome of the vegetable tribe
being highly recommended to nerv us or
dyspeptic people. There are several medi-
cinal preparations of celery which are used
in the practice of physicians as tonics and
nervines.
The most common way of serving celery
is large bunch of it on the dinner-ta lie,
which is broken off stalk by stalk, dipped
in salt and eaten raw. Another way of
preparing it for dinner is to stew it. Break
the stalks off two large roots of celsry,
wash and drain carefully; cut into lengths
Of one inch, rejecting the dlscolored or
greeuish parts; put on the stove in an
earthenware pipkin or a porcelain lined

minutes, when it should be DONE Take a
tablespoon of butter, roll it in -four, cut
into bits and stir into the stewed celery,
which is now ready to be dished and eaten.
There is dainty flavor in this preparation
which must recommend it to refined pal
ates.
Celery pickle is remarkably nice. Pick
off the root as manv stalks as you wi h to
use, wash carefully and cut into one inch
lengths. Put on the stove in porcelain
kettle with water enough to cover them.
For every gallon Of this water you must
allow three cups of salt to dissolve. When

enough for the celery to look clear take It
off and drain off all brine. 1t must be al
lowed to stand about three hours, so the
celery will be almost dry. For every gallon
of celery use three pints of clear strong
vinegar, an ounce of white must lrd seed a
half ounce of tumeric, cup of white
sugar and tablespoon of salt. Boil the
vinegar and spice together and pour it hot
over the celery. Fasten the jar up closely.
This pickle will be good to eat in a week.
Celery makes good salad. Pick OFF from
the root, wash and drain, and then cut UP
