Growing Celery.

Celery continues to grow in favor
with each succeeding year, and a hun
dred gardens will now have a row or
more Of it where there was one ten
years ago. After the taste for it is
acquired it becomes standard veSe-
table. and the best means Of securing
a supply is Il matter Of interest The
old way of planting ii in trenches and
carefully banking up the rows as the
plants grew is still followed by 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 a space Us large as the plots is to
be setting the plants quite closely in
this depression. and as the plants grow
gradually filling 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 If it is not SO naturally
it must be made SO. The varieties 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
favor. and tender and crisp. The
White Plume is very easily blanched,
but Ia rather too early for winter use.
The Golden Self Blanching is better In

The Limit for Good Butter nnt

Cheesc.
Hoard's Dai:yman truly says: We
may have dairy schools by the hun
dred and graduate good cheese makers
by the thousand, yet If we tlo not have
good milk we will not nave Il 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

If he makes up his own butter or
cheese, no one is punished for his care

is well to settle clearly the ruling prin-
ciples of success The primary princi-
pies lie with the farmer; he is the

down goes the superstructure. The

OF INTEREST TooDD FELLOWS.
The Grand Sire Refuses to Furnish Arch.
Bishop katzer with Copy of
Ifs Ritual
IFS Ritual.

BALTIMORE, MD, Oct. 4.-Fears are
expressed in high Catholic circles
that in the recent action of the soy
erign grand lodge of Odd-Fellows
confirming the position Of the Grand
Sire i'll refusing to furnish Arch
bishop Katzer with q copy OF the
ritual of the order will considerably
hamper the efforts now in progress,
and which were substantially adj
vanced at the late Archbishops' con
ference in Chicago, to secure the re-
moyal OF the ban of the church from
the secret fraternal societies that are
still without it's pale. OF these the
Odd-Fellows fraternity is one OF the
largest, and had it shown a desire to
cooperate with the prelates of the
church it would have scored consid-
cradle points, not only its own inter-
est, but in that of all other societies
that are as yet unrecognized by the
church. 1t is given out that Arch
bishop Katzer had no other object in
requesting copy OF the ritual of the
order than to decide whether it con-
tanned anything Objectionable from
the standpoint OF the denomination,
and pledge was offered that what
ever the ritual contained should be
held Just as inviolate as the confii-
dences OF the church itself AS the
question stands now, however, the
report of the council OF Archbishops
must necessarially state that the
Odd-Fellow fraternity rejects the
proffered olive branch, and this fact,
it is feared, will initiate against the
other secret societies upon which the
Vatican would be likely to look with
favor

VIM. Macnair's Address to Working Men
and Women.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. A dole
full sound comes from within the
tombs. 1t is the appeal of VIM Nc
nair, a well-known trade unionist of
this city, and who was recently SEN
fenced to four months imprisonment
and fine Of $500 for addressing a
postal card to State Senator Charles
2. McClelland, eriticising him as a
voter for his opposition to the bill
making ten hours a days work on
surface and elevated railroads. Mae
nair's appeal is addressed to the
Workingmen and women of the coun-
try at large. He calls attention to
the ferocious brutality of his SEN
tence, and says that the proposition
that has been made to him that he
might obtain his release by apollo
giving is only an added integrity.
Urging the workingmen of the coun-
try to demand the immediate repeal
of what he terms the infamous Com
stock postal law, he concludes as
follows: 1.-THE public acts of a pub
lie servant are always proper and
legitimate subjects of criticism. This
right OF criticism was established in
England 100 years ago by Sheridan,
Fox and Wilkes. 1t has been MAIN
tanned in this country until now.
Shall this, one of our most import
ant liberties, be lost at a time when
our nation felicitates itself upon the
completion ola century of magnifi-
cent achievement? Shall a public
servant be permitted to suppress
criticism by savage methods in
tended merely for terrorism, and in
nowise decisive of the justice or in
justice of the criticism itself Had my
punishment been burning at the
stake, the weight or merit Of my
structure upon the language of the
Senator would remain unchanged.
For this reason l want my fellow
conntrymen to know why | am in
prison, and | want them to decide
whether four months of jail torture
and $500 fine is the best answer the
Senator can make to the points
have raised. -
