Celery will need banking now without delay,
and happy is the gardener who owns or can
borrow one of the long celery plows that earth
it up the first time completely, and slmcss
finish the second banking without the tiresoms
and back-aching job of gathering the leaves
and shoyeling the earth by hand. This plow
might also be used for covering the raspberry
bushes, with advantage. As now managed,
the celery crop is grown with far less labor
than formerly, when it wss banked and dug
by hand instead of by the plow, as at present.

The size of seed potatoes has been considered
at the Michigan Station, and in Bulletin 90
the results of the experiments there and at u
other stations are given. It says that . great
many growers do not give enough of the potabs
for seed. The half potato is better than q small
piece, and, where the varieties are very small
even more will be needed. The total yield ana
quality of the potatoes are very decidedly in,
creased when there is an increase in the seed
up to certain point. The whole potato does
not give any perceptible increase over half
one, but the half is much better than quarter
or one-third. In nearly ali of the experiments
the results were in favor OF the halfpotato,
and only q small percentage in favor Of the

The President of the Ontario Fruit GrowerR
Association gives the following good directions
for packing apples: Choose q solid place in the
ground. and place barrel upon solid piece Of
plank. Lay the first course of apples VITA
the stems down. The packer should not taxa
special samples for this course, but just taxa
them as they come and place them so Is 70
make solid row in the bottom. The next row
should also be put in carefully, with the bios
som end down. After that, as each basketball
is put in. the barrel should be carefully shaken
down on that plank. When the packer comes
to the top Of the barrel he evens them of ae-
cording to the variety. One variety will pre@
down closer than another, and that is where .
little judgment and experience are required.
A man must know every variety he is packing
in order to know how many to put in the bar
rel-whether he will I'll it to the chine, an
inch above the chine, or further. Then the
last row has to be placed 80 as 10 be in an oval
position before you put the press on, with the
stems up. so that they will press down evenly

you cannot tell at what end you commenced
that is, when barrel ia packed properly

In Bulletin 81 of the Rhode Island Station
the manurial value Of salt is considered and

salt Chloride of sodium) has long been eonsid-
cred of more or less value to the soils by prso-
tical farmers. and they have used it for their
fields either in the crude state or mixed wisA
some other material. 4 common way of APP
plying it to the land along the coast is TO spread
the sssweed on the land Others sprinkle tha
land with 1t in the Autumn, and allow il 70
leach down into the soil. At the Rhode Island
Station its value when applied with seswee2
has been considered. In this way il has proven
by experiments to be very valuable in giving
new life to the plants, and enriching and
sweetening the soil. The bulletin recommends
its use on lands removed from the sea. 1t tends

OUR RURAL TOPICS
Some Practical Suggestions fer Our
Agricultural Readers

Prof J. W. Roberts In an address before
meeting Of dairymen said: have studied the
hog good deal / used to feed great many
600 year-snd was not prodigal son eithsz.
They are worthy OF observation in regard 10
general demeanor. I went down one Monday
morning to the hog-yards. The man whose
business it was 10 look after them had allowed
an alcoholic fermentation to act in their whey.
In this case it was quite pronounced, and
watched 20 drunken hogs for time. Twas
study in animal hnsbandry AID moral philoso-
ply combined. There was the funny hog"
which would tickle tho others. and run along
and laugh; then there was the lighting hoa."
that would show his tusks and snari; and the
sluggish hog" that would lie in the mud o.
the ground and grunt. Iconeluded that it was
foolish even for pig to let his appetite get tbs
better of his judgment and viii.
In feeding hogs the man who feeds them
well viii succeed with them. You must r.
member that the hog has preferences fer
being clean. Last year in q great many pens
one side of each was kept clean for a wesk;
afterwards the pigs themselves kept that clean
for their bed. One weeks education did IL
and If the hog gets good chance and COED
example. be is all right. Every farmer with
100 acres ought to feed 20 to 100 hogs. The
common way of constructing the floors Of the
pens is unsuitable. II they slope backward
from the trough, they will be kept wet That
means sickiy hogs that do not thrive well. I
prefer to make the floor slant towards the
trough. Twice the profit can be made whsa
the animals lie dry all the while; and. besides
that, their health is much better
Then the feeding trough should have It's
holding capacity in length and not in depth.
1t pays to have them fed with good, clean feed
which means the difference between profit and
loss. They will take the waste from the tsbla.
1t does not do, is usually the case, to have is
put in tub or barrel which is never emptied
or cleaned. That becomes poison. It fermsnts
and sours and makes bad blood. With the SOW
and young pigs taking it, the consequences il
they die before they are 10 days old. Every
animal should get clean food, and even little
pigs have the right to be well born. Hogs fed
on clean food should gain at least one pound
for every four and half pounds of grain used;
man can tell whether it is paying to keep
them or put his labor to other sources of proak
If any man feeds his hogs too long, il costs
more than he can make out of them.
