while in their frozen state. The best
thing to do when it is found they have
frozen is to throw straw or hay over
them, whether they are in bulk or in
barrels, and thus delay the thawing and
make 1t as gradual as possible. But the

The American Garden, which sets forth
the requirements of the crop rs follows:
l. Good plants set early in June. ?. Law
ishness in the application Of good com
post. 3. A continuous supply of moisture.
The northern grower, if he has green
house or hotbed available in early Feb
ruary, can raise his own plants. Sow in
fats, prick the young plants out in other
flats, a few inches apart each way, or
set in open ground: keep the plants well
watered, not too warm if under glass,
and in early June you will have plants
worth setting. If you don't want to
raise the plants you can buy good ones
by June for three or four dollars per
thousand. Another way is to buy in
April small untransplanted seeding
plants from a celery plant grower farther
south and set in open ground in rows a
foot or less apart and plants two or
three inches apart in the rows. Nitrate
of soda scattered over the beds at the
rate of pound or two to the square rod
has in our experience seldom failed to
show very marked effects in promoting
thrifty growth.
The earlier in June the plants are set
out the better. if early celery is wanted

plants, six inches apart. along "A tightly

with marker. Always press the soil
firmly about the roots. In dry time
water the plants literally right after
setting them, and if possible shade for
few days. Give the same cultivation and
general treatment as is required for
other garden crops. Early i'm July the
plants should be large enough for hand

Som ething of a Weanon.

Police Captain Cox exhibits muir
derous weapon in the city Jail, the
like of which has never been seen in
this city. 1t is a folding sword that
can be used either as a club or a
sword, and when opened is about two
feet and a half in length. Its blade
made of heavy steel, tapers to a
point at the end, and both edges are
sharpened.
The weapon is heavy enough to
take off head at a single blow. 1t
can be opened in an instant by press
ing small spring at the end of the
hilt, which lets a heavier spring
throw out the blade. Captain Cox
says the weapon is an historical relic,

which are here given:

with an unstinted supply Of old plaster

bones with some of the gristle and meat
attached. These materials should be
placed where they can be conveniently
picked up by the fowls. Eggs can be
increased in size and richness by proper
food Laying hens require variety of

turnips, beets, cabbage leaves, etc. are
essential Corn and wheat middlings.
corn, oats and scraps from the house
should all be fed off and on. changing
the diet as often as thrice a week.
Hens require a great deal Of water
but, as they drink only a small quantity
Mt a time, it must be kept in constant
supply, fresh and clear. A few fowls IN
separate pens are much more profitable
and easily kept healthy than when large
numbers are confined under one roof.
The sooner You begin setting the hens in
the spring for the purpose Of raising
chickens the better Late chickens, as
a rule, fare badly Pullets rarely make
good mothers. Three and four-year-old
hens are best. When clucking and not
