Celery Culture.

Celery IN most sections is a second
crop after earl y peas, beets, onions, cab
base, etc. Under the new system of
level culture the seed is sown in the open
ground some. time in April, and as the
seeds are small and the growth of the
young plants slow the seed bed should
beFlch ground and well prepared. For
family garden il will be better to buv
the few plants required than to raise
them This can now be done in almost
any section. Transplanting generally
begins in July and extends into August,
according to localities and the earliness
or lateness of tie crop desired. For
field culture the plants are set six inches
apart, in rows from four to five feet
apart, according as the variety may be
large or dwarf. 4 small portion of the
tops is sheared squarely off before set
ting. The cultivation consists in keep
ing down the weeds and banking up the
plants as they increase in height.
For family garden the plants may be
setTn rich soil that has been highly man
ured, in rows four feet apart and from
four to five inches apart in the rows.
The first growth VIII be slow, but rs the
cool season approaches and the roots de-
velop the plants will grow rapidly and
the earth should lie drawn up to them
and banked around them from time to
time until when taken out on. account of
cold weather only a portion of The top
will be visible. The half dwarf varieties
are the ones advised for garden. Sue
cessful winter storage consists in keep
ing the edible portion of the plants cool
and dry, with the roots in moist sand or
soil and in a growing rather than dry

Smut in Oats.

According to a bulletin issued by the

can be entirely prevented by trsa6asg the
seed fifteen minutes in water raised TO a
temperature of 1924 degs. f. The smut
may also be prevented by immersing the
seed twenty-four hours in one-half per
cent. solution of potassium sulphine. The
statement, however, is based on.a-very
few experiments of last year only. The
other funSicides tested, when destroying
all or nearly all the smut, greatly in
jured the stand. Seed from clean fields
will produce crop free from smut, but
if the adjoining fields are smutty the oats
