BEDDING BE6oNIAs.

Some remarkable statements have re-
Gently appeared IN regard to the great
value of tuberous begonias as bedding
plants, the claim being made that they
are equal or even superior to geraniums
for tins purpose. Wick says in reference
to the above: "We cannot but think
that such claim is greatly exaggerated,
if not groundless. All that is needed IS
a brief statement OF facts. The tuberous
begonias, after several years of trial, both
in this country and in England, have
been found unable to stand full exposure
to bright sun for any length of time, the
sun scalding and burning the foliage and
so checking and stopping the growth of
the plaut and rendering it generally I'M
healthy. In partially shaded places,
where the plants receive the full sun
shine but an hour or two during the
day, they succeed fairly well.-MeO York

When Something Gets in Your Eve,

The following advice, given to watch

be useful to other people also e -;lAe.s /.
similar accident is l.aoie to occur: It
happens occasionally, while turning, that
splinter of the metal will fiy into aud
firmly lodge in the eye. Never try to
expel it by rubbing. as that simply irri-
tates the eye and drives the chip still
further into it. 1t is better to draw the
upper lid over the lower, so that when
returning to its place the lid slides over
the lower eyelashcs, which will sweep it
clean, as it were. This process will in
the majority of cases, suffice to remove
the splinter or other foreign body; if
rot, the object may be got out with a
strip OF white paper or Il camel's-hair
brush. Never, however, let asy one use
hard instrument. II the case REQUIRES

A species of corn especially adapted to

the plant grows to the height of about

sorghum. The grain is white and an
swers every purpose which is served by
Indian corn. 1t makes sweeter and bet

after the manner Of oat meal. In wet

THE WAY TO IMPROVE pA1l,Y STOCK.

ANN WA ~ lAI NOV DAlt1 SIOUX.
To advise dairymen to raise the hcifer
calves from their best cows and thus try
to make steady improvement in the
quality OF their dairy stock is always in
order. Though not universally followed
by this class, We think that the great
majority OF the best and most successful
dairymen adopt this course. But there
are times when, though their intentions
are all right, they can accomplish but
little in this direction. Their best COWS
persist in dropping bull calves, and so
the theory in which they would like to
work out cannot be followed. A report
comes from town in one of the Western
dairy districts, in which out of twenty
seven calves dropped only FIVE were
Eeifcrs, and in other herds in the vicinity
there has been only about the same pro-
portion. This is discouraging to those
who want to raise hcifers, but until soms
method of controlling sex is discovered
there will occasionally be reasons in which
such untoward conditions will prevail. -

CELERY CULTURE.

In reply to the inquiry of the Nebraska
subscriber who asks how to plant and
cultivate celery we give the following
Sow IN the open ground as soou as it is
fit to work in April, and keep clear Of
weeds until the time of planting, in juno
and July. The tops should be shurn off
once or twice before planting, so as to
insure "stocky' plants, which suffer less
on being trausplarted.
Plant in rows three feet apart for tho
dwarf varieties, and four to five feet for
the larger sorts, and set six inches aparj
in rows.
If the weather is dry at the time o.
planting great care should be taken that
roots are properly ''frmed" by pressing
the side of each plant gently with tina
foot; this compacts the soil and partially
excludes the air from the roots until new
rootlets are formed, which will usually
he in forty eight hours, after which all
danger is over. After the planting OF
the celery is completed, nothing further
is to be done for six or seven weeks, ex.
cePt running through between the rows
with the cutiyator or hoe, and freeing
the plants from weeds.
About the middle of August we begin
the " earthing-up,' necessary for the
blanching and whitening of that which
is wanted for use during the months of
September, October and November. The
first operation is that of ''handling. y
Alter all the soil has been drawn up
against the plant with the hoe. it is
further drawn close around each plant by
the hand, firm enough to keep the leaves
IN an upright position and prevent them
from spreading. This being done, more
soil is drawn against the row (either by
the pillow or hoe, as circumstances re-
quirc), so as to keep the plant in this up
right position.
The blanching process must, however,
be finished by the spade, which is done
by digginS the soil from between the
two rows, and banking it clear up to the
top on each side of the row of celery.-

THE MoRGUEs LAID OUT.
Captain Aliens Tossers Sadly SqueIched
by the Recorders.

by the Recorders.
For some time past Phil Allen Of the City
MoTgue has been aching to defeat a ball
team with the attaches of the grueSome
haunt wherein he earns his daily bread.
The opportunity came yesterday morning
when Captain Allen and his following ran
up against crowd Of bulky young men
from the Recorders office. They went out
to the Preside, where the Morgue people
were neatly laid out by score Of 20 to 7.
Captain Allen bought the balls with his
own money and wrote personally to the post
commander :fOr permission to play at the
Preside. He engineered the whole thing
and confidently assured the Recorders that
they wouldn't be in it, Had Captain Allen
said he could, the Recorders would have
been shut out. However, these little mis-
takes will occur among base-ballists.
When the Morgue team was rounded up
for the fray it was found that Captain Allen
was the only one in the crowd who b ad any,
thing TO do with the place. The others were
all outsiders, and Alien wanted 10 wear a
shroud to distinguish him from the rest, but
thev objected.
He took the Morgue cat along in sack
and hung her up on the fence for a mascot.
Then he threw the gates open and invited
everybody 10 come in free of cost, as he was
used to deadheads They all came in, sut
when Captain Allen Started to play ball they
all went out again.
In the first inning the Morgues made four
runs, and Captain Allen jumped up, cracked
his heels together and said there were no
flies on him. Then the Recorders went to
bat and Captain Allen took up a position al
short. where he had billed himself to play.
In few minutes the man stationed at the
telephone to keep Dunbar alley apprised of
the movements of the Morgue team in
formed Deputy Sam Bridgewood that Cap
tain Allen couldn't catch fly bail with an
open grave. After few more deadly errors
the audience suggested that Captain Allen
impanel jury and sit on himself. He re-
fused, and then his side wanted to throw
him out of the game. But he owned the
balls and they were afraid he would take
them with him. So they worried along for
six innings, by which time Captain Allen
had let in twelve runs. He then said he
guessed the game was lost ard that they
had better quit. Allen says he will never
play ball again, but he cannot well refuse
with the following challenge staring him in
the fac:

"All you want is your bit out of the sales.
You don't want to interfere with US, or
there will be trouble"
Officer johnson saw determination pict-

further disturb him or his companion. The
crowd. who were watching the removal of
the iron, jeered the special officer, who
went about his business, while Moore and

reaped them handsome proft.-Phla-
