Celery and Celeriuc.
Except for those who want these
crops as soon as they can be got in,
when the seed is sown in hot-beds and
treated as the foregoing, the seed is
soWn when the weat her has become set
tied down, springlike. A very small
space will grow enough for family use,
but, it possible, select low, moist soil.
The seed should be sown in drills foot
apart, for the convenience Of clearing
weeds from the plants. The young
plants are rather slow growing at first,
and if the land is ut all weedy, partic,l-
larly the miserable chick-weed. which,
by the way, troubles only the old gar
den spots, it will take considerable
hand-weeding until the plants get some
size. The celeriac, OF turnip-rooted eel
cry, is mainly used for soup f1avoring,
salads, ETC., although the Germans
make quite vegetable of them by
simply slicing and boiling When large
enough to set out into the permanent
beds, a foot apart each way will be
about the thing. Those who have the
time transplant once in the seed bed,
the object being to obtain stOcky plants,
and we'll rooted. Any plant allowed to
grow where it seeded sends out strong
tap-rOOts. In transplanting. these. Of

of fibers take their place. The more

The Corn Worm,
In the January number of Entonae-
logical News, in the department Of
Economic Entomology conducted by
Prof. J. B. Smith, reference is made to
the corn worm which is Il very widely
distributed pest, injuring corn. tOma-
toes and other plants throughout the
country and in the South. doing a great
amount of damage to cotton where it
is known as the boil worm" This ill.,
sect is stated to have been particularly
destructive to corn and tomatoes the
past season in New Jersey. In the
Western states the loss is mainly on
early sweet corn. Corn very seldom
suffers any serious injury.
Prof. Smith states that on the to-
mato it is very difficult to exterminate,
but for corn fields he suggests turning
the chrysalids out by thorough blowing
in late autumn, as the pupae arc found
four to six inches under ground at that
time. This could he practiced in our
fields Of early and sweet corn, but
would manifestly be snpracticablc for
the large fields which are many of
them not.harvested till after the ground
is frozen.
Palestine Dniryinx.
A traveller thus writes to an ex-
change: "One of the oldest things ell
countercd in Palestine is Il woman at
the churn. The churn of this region
was once animated, having been goat
in it's better days. Now the goat has
vanished from it, and the good wife
hangs up to spike OH the ceiling his
skin by the neck and pours into the I'M
canny vessel her wooden trays Of milk

rejoices. and then she carefully unites

afterwards removing the butter by

to be the universal churn of the Orient

.- ct. Advantage OF n SllO.
A farmer who has a silo is about liz,
independent Of the weather rs man
can be. Aside from heavy rains, moth
ing interrupts this kind of harvesting.
Light rains and showers, while making
the work disagreeable, do not stop it,
and when once properly in the silo all
danger of imperfect curing is past.
The early date at which the land can
be cleared makes it possible to either
seed down to grass or winter month
before corn in the shock would be dry
enough to husk. Another advantage in
the north is that varieties Of later
growth may be planted for this pur-
pose, which will not npen before frost.
To Relieve Collie.
Slight touches of colo may be quickly
relieved by giving the horse q table
spoonful of salaratus or baking powder
in a glass of water. If it does not
yield to this, ten to fifteen drops of
aconite may be administered 1t is
easy to make most horses drink by
holding their heads high and forcing
the neck of thick glass bottle contain
ing the liquid into the side Of the.
mouth. After the liquid has all left
the bottle the head must be still kept
up for q few minutes to compel the
patient to swallow 1t and not lose It
from his mouth.
