A New and Cheap Method of

The general requisites in the culture Of
celery are to keep the ground clean and
mellow and the plants in growing condi-
work ''How to Make the Garden Pay"
advises the frequent use of wheel hoe,
horse hoe. steel rake and hoe. Next comes
the process of Handling" When the
plants have made a good growth and the
nights begin to get cool, late in August,
the ground near the plants receives a
thorough loosening, either by blowing a
shallow furrow toward the row from each
side or by drawing soil up to it with the
hoe. The gardener now gets down on his
knees, straddling the row, and gathering
up all the stalks of one plant after another
in his left hand packs the soil firmly
around with his right, to retain them in
this compact and erect position. More
soil is then drawn up or hoed up to them.
No further treatment is necessary for
the seif-blanching sorts to blanch them
for market; yet, according to Mr.. Greiner,
we can greatly improve their flavor by
earthing them up like the common varie.
ties. Various methods are employed to
blanch the crop. The one, though old.
but yet commonly used, is by earthlng up
or banking" This had best be done
gradually in two or three operations. Soil
is dug up from between the rows and
side, at the last operation almost to the
tips Of the leaves, as shown in the accom-
panying illustration.
In regard to other methods of blanch-
ing, Mr.. Greiner says: ''Bianching by
means of boards is coming more and more

Young Leon Daudet, Hugo's
Son-in-Law, as a Novelist.
A NEW NOVEL BY EMILE lola.
Pierre Lofts Kind Heart-A Literary
Landmarks OF London Gone-An
Epic on the Cholera.

The newest star on the French literary
horizon is young Leon Daudet. the eldest
son of the great novelist and the husband
of Victor Hugo's granddaughter Jeanne.
Although civil engineer by profession,
the young fellow has inherited strong
literary proclivities from both his father
and his mother, and Madame Juliette
Adam, the editress of the Reriew. in which
his novel is coming out in monthly parts,
says she has discovered in him a new
Lott. The story is supposed to be the
confessions of latter-day young man
up to date. and it certainly gives very
vivid picture of modern Partisan society.
1t is said that he began the novel when
he was only Is, and was inspired by a
conversation which he once heard be-
tween his father and lola on the effects
of heredity on the moral nature of in
divlduals. Emile Zola is. Of course,
fanatic on this question and almost denies
the possibility of free will, so convinced is
