TOM PLATT AND THE REPORTER.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The New York state

of Thomas Collier Platt are to be seen oc-
casionally, as is always the case during
political campaigns, in the lobby of the
Fifth Avenue hotel As he passed through

Dust for Lice on Cattle.

An old agricultural writer says that
some twelve years ago he noticed his
bull was free from lice when the rest
Of his cattle were not. Thinking the
matter over he came to the conclusion
that the bulls habit of throwing dirt
over himself must have something to
do with his freedom from lice. So he
tried dry earth on the rest of his cattle
with good results.
''Since then I have used dry earth
and have frequently put it on cattle
having lice and have found it perfectly
efticacious both as a preventive and
a cure. If in winter think it needed
and cannot get it otherwise I go into
my cellar and get few quarts. There
is no danger Of using too much. Dry
it on the stove, then sprinkle it over
the back from head to tail and working
in. and through the hair it soon de-
stroys all lice. believe the earth to

Growing Celery.

Celery continues to grow In favor
with each succeeding year, and hum
bred gardens will now have row or
more of it where there was one ten
years ago. After the taste for it is
acquired it becomes a standard vege-
table. and the best means Of securing
a supply is a matter Of interest The
old way Of planting it in trenches and
carefully banking up the rows as the
plants grew is still followed by a great
many, but it is not the best way, as
has been amply proven within the last
two or three. years.
The new method consists in digging
out space as large as the plots is to
be setting the plants quite closely in
this depression, and as the plants grow
gradually filing up around them un-
til the soil that has been thrown out
is replaced. If the plot is where a
plentiful supply Of water can be sup
piled, so much the better, for celery
must have plenty Of moisture to do
well. 1t must also be grown on very
rich soil. and IL it is not so naturally
it must be made so. The :ariet1es are
numerous and any OF them are good,
but the White Plume and Golden Self
Branching are. perhaps the two best
on the list. Both are very good as to
flavor. md tender and crisp. The

MATTERS PERTAINING TO FARM,
FIELD AND STOCK.
Good Drainage Essential I'm the Inn

Lice on CnttIe-Growing Celery
Instructive Pointers.

There are various ways in which land
may be greatly improved and the care
ful farmer who wishes to make sue
cess in his business will always be on
the alert for new methods of culture
and will also follow those which he
has found from actual trial to be good.
Good drainage is essential FOR land on
which cereal crops are to be raised. "A
farmer may easily obtain information
regarding the drainage Of piece of
land by digging holes four or five feet
deep IN July or August and noting
where the water stands IN these On
corn land this water level should be
~ inches below the surfa Sc. Another
method of improving the soil is by
thorough cultivation. This is necessary
IN, order to obtain the best results.
opinions differ very widely III regard
to deep and shallow blowing. At the
Purdue, Indiana, Experiment Station
experiments have been made on corn
plats blowing 4 to - inches deep. The
first year there was no perceptible diff
ference but the second year there was
q great gain from deep blowing and
subsoiling. The effects Of deep plow-
ing and subsoiling are not always APP
parent the first year but where it has
been practiced the crop Of wheat the
second year has been double that Of
field shallow plowed, with the same
amount Of manure applied to each.
SuDsolllng loosens up more Of the earth
and furnishes more plant food and
moisture than shallow blowing. In
clay lands it is desirable to change the
conditions in order to keep it from bak-
ing during very dry weather. Air-slak-
co lime is one of the best substances
which can be used for this purpose.
The amount to apply varies, ranging
from 5 to IL tons per acre according
to the stiffness in the clay. z. -.
= Application can be made at intervals
OF { to 10 years. Fl. A. Huston, In
diana State Chemist, advises farmers
with heavy clay lands to experiment
with small field in this way, being
careful that the lime is left in small
p1es long enough to become well air
slaked and then have it distributed
and we'll mixed with the soil. Using
lime in this way makes the land easy
TO pulverize and changes it from a
hard compact mass to one easily brok-
en- into particles which the plant roots
can penetrate. Salt is also used some
tlmes IN the same way and has the
same effect on the soil but is not al
ways beneficial, hence lime is more
highly recommended.

but 1s rather too early for winter use.
The Golden Self Branching is better in
this respect, but is not so good for win
ter use as some of the green sorts. The
pink varieties are much liked by some
people, but they. have flavor that is
not relished at first. The plants should
be soWn in a seed bed and transplanted
before being set where they are to
grow, so that the plants may become
stocky and thick at the crown.
The Limit for Good Butter and
.5 E3 Cheese. ks
FL Hoard's Dairyman truly says: We
may have dairy schools by the hun
dred and graduate good cheese makers
by the thousand, vet if we do not have
good milk we will not nave a good
product. The farmer who supplies the
milk is the man, more than any other
who governs the character Of cooper
alive butter and cheese. More than
this, If nine men supply good, sweet
milk and one man bad milk, the one,
not the nine, will govern the quality.
In our efforts to improve the quality
of dairy products, we must not forget
that most important factor Of all
the man who makes the milk. Every
thing waits for him. He must wake
up to the necessity Of his own improve
ment. He stands in the way Of his
own profit. He must be teachable just
as long as he is in cooperative work.
If he makes up his own butter or
cheese, no one is punished for his care
lessness or ignorance but himself. It
is well to settle clearly the ruling prin-
ciples of success. The primary princi-
pies lie with the farmer; he is the
foundation: # the foundation fails,
down goes the superstructure. The
secondary principles lie with the ma
ker. OF course his ignorance and stu
pidity can spoil the best Of milk. Ey-
eryWhere in this complicated game do
we need knowledge and skill. ''He
that despiseth knowledge shall come to
grief" 4. 7.

Healthfulness of Farm Life.

IL IS an open question whether the
Time mas not come to throw as it were
a halo of sentiment upon the life of
the farm, and to cause this halo to
permeate all departments of home life.
and so to rob the occupation Of much
that now seems to make it distasteful,
says the New York Ledger. To be
sure, farm work is hard work; but
that 1T is harder work than trucking OF
brlcklaying, carpenter work, or a thou
sand and one trades Of the city, it
would be difficult to prove. The hours
are longer, but they are spent out Of
doors, in the healthful, clear, bracing
fresh air, and health and peace OF mind
are likely to come with them. Once
his days work is done, the town-dwell-
er has his club room, headquarters,
saloon, or some other favorite lounsin;,s
place, where he can discuss timely
topics with his fellows. That this dis
cussion is any benefit to him, tLele
is grave reason to question. 1t makes
him dissatisfied, uneasy, and rebellious;
but, all the same, he has it, and that
too, because he wants it. The farm
dWeller lacks this source of amusement:
but he can, in most localities, go to
the corner grocery and learn what is
going on in the world, and it is safe to
say that he gets a far more reasonable
and healthy idea of current events
than the man in the city. AS the coun-
try becomes more thickly settled and
lands are cut up in smaller sections,
it would be the easiest thing magma
BILE to have general place Of meet
ing in every community. A reading
room with the agricultural books. pa
pers, and general literature of the bust
ness, a weekly lecture on all the new
est ideas belonging to the occupation
of the farm, and an evening or SO
week for purely social pleasure and
amusement, would do much towards
making farming communities desirable
places of residence. There are many
who contend that farm hours are too
long. On this subject it may be said
that men who follow it live longer
and have better health than in aim, It
any other profession. And it is but
just to say that the pleasure Of driving.
riding, tho garden, flowers and fruit
are too highly appreciated by many per-
sons to be willingly surrendered, even
though they involve a good deal Of
hard work and no end Of care.
