Richness and plenty OF moisture are es-
sential for soil TO grow celery on. A,murky
soil is usually preferred, as even If drained
IL holds moisture long time a few inches
below the surface. Some active nitrogen
GUS manure is far better to put 10 the
trench than a large mass Of coarse manure
that Is often used by those unaccustomed
to this crop. Coarse. strong manurs
furnishes more heat than is needed for
celery. while 1t destroys the moisture on
which more than aught else the success Of
the celery grower depends.
After every heavy rain soil that has any
clay in It's composition will form a crust on
its surface. The water that dries Off or
evaporates leaves all its mineral constitu-
ents behind. and this forms a crust. These
mineral elements are soluble, and IL culti-
waited under they form excellent plant food.
as they do not at once lose their solubility.
Besides, the breaking up of the crust as
soon as possible admits air to the soil, and
thus IN deoomposing, as some OF IL undoubt~
eddy does, increases its fertility.
Try feeding and handling the unpretend-
ing common COW for q few weeks or months
as you would 500 thoroughbred, and see
whether she does not respond so that YOU
will change your mind about sending her to
the butcher. II she does not respond at tho
butter-tub, she will in meat, and then the
food is not lost IL the COW is sent to tha
shambles -Hodrd's Ddirgmdn.
Copper rivets are almost as handy as a
woman about farm, and use for them will
be found as often. The man that once pro-
vides himself with a box Of them, of as
sorted sizes, will not do without them. For
mending straps they are especially good. II
the ends are splioed and three or four rivetS
properly used, the parts will be held to-
gether as we'll as If sewed. Often about
harness a few stitches break, and IL the rip
is not promptly attended to, it will soon be-
come serious. The spices OF the lines often
begin to rip at the ends, aud little careless
delay about this matter may result In q
disastrous runaway. A copper rivet can
be put up in sixty seconds, and will stop the
ripping.
The very earliest green corn always brings
good prices, often % to 80 cents per dozen
ears for several days, IL extra pains have
been taken 20 plant early and protect from
frosts. at these rates half an acre Of green
corn will return more money than five
acres harvested and sold as grain. On rich
land With no missed hills sweet corn ouRnt
to give 500 dozen ears per acre. Most OF
the small kinds Of sweet corn give two ears
per stalk. Plucking off the earliest ears
gives better chance for the later ones TO de-
velop. and thus ears that in a grain crop
would not amount to much are well filed
out. Late in the season the price runs down
sometimes as low as 6 cents per dozen; but
canning factories come in and prevent prices
going too low to pay for handling. Reckon
ing early and late growers should average
about l cent per ear or IL cents per dozen.
But those who do this must sell a good deal
early, as the price below this average con-
tinues a long time.
