CURING NAY.

So much depends upon climate, sun
shine and wind that no definite rules
can be laid down for cutting and cur
ing hay. If possible, hay should be
housed on the day of cutting, but this
will only answer if the NOW is large
and the amount to be stored limited.
Those who grow the crop on a la, ge
scale adopt the plan of cutting it late
in the afternoon. There is no mois-
ture on the grass at this time. and it
is so late that it does not wilt at all
that night, and therefore is not in
jured by the dew. The next day after
the dew is off it should be tossed twice
by the tedder, and, after it is thor
ou9hly wilted, it should be raked up
and put into good sized shocks, Gov
cred with waterproof hay caps to pro
tect 1t from dew or rain, and left to
cure. Exposure to the sun for few
hours just before drawing to the barn
will complete the process.
The common mistake in making hay
is usually allowing it to lie in the hot
sun too long. The best hay is made
by air curing rather than by the SUI
drying. AS far as possible hay should
be cured in the bunch. 1t may b,
cooked up much greener than form
erly believed, provided it is fairl,
wilted and contains no extraneou
moisture. If allowed to sweat befor
drawing it will rarely heat in the NOW
When hay is first cut it should b
long enough in the sunlight to dry
sufficiently to allow it to be readil
raked together into windrows. Th

CELERY.

Celery is one of the neglected vege.
tables that should find place in every
garden great or small. 1t comes sc
late that it may be grown as an after
crop where early potatoes or sweet
corn has been grown. The seeds
should be sown in seed bed that has
been made perfectly fine and the seeds
must be very lightly covered. The
best way to SOW them is to make very
shallow burrows in the bed and cover the
seeds after they have been drilled in
the furrow, by sitting fine soil over
them. When the plants have grown
to be an inch high 1t is a pretty good
plan to clip the tops off as this makes
the plants stocky and vigorous.
Celery delights in moist soil and
to do well it must be watered if the
weather is at all dry. The common
custom is to set the plants in trenches
six or eight inches deep. These
trenches should be deeply dug and
thoroughly fined in the bottom and
made very rich with fertilizers of
some kind, as it is rank feeder and
must be furnished abundant plant
food within short distance as the
roots are short. Set the plants dur
ing damp weather if possible, and as
they grow draw the earth into the
trenches. gradually filling them as the
plants grow higher, taking care to
keep the soil from getting into the
centre of the bunch. This can be
prevented by holding the tops with
one hand and drawing the soil around
them with hoe, or preferably, with
the other hand. When the trenches
are filled the banking up begins and
at every working the soil should be
banked little higher until the plants
stand in a ridge reaching as high as the
stem of the plants. This makes them
white and crisp. At the last working
the ridges should be patted into firm
ness with spade so they will retain
their shade.
A new plan that has been tried with
some success is to set the plants only
foot apart each way and let them
grow in this shape; they will be SO
thick that they will half blanch them
selves, and when they are fully grown
they can be taken up and put in a
dark cellar in boxes with little soil
around the roots to finish the blanch
ing process, or reset in trenches and
left there to blanch.
The old plan we think is best for
beginners, and we should have LOT
of them in this country, for there is
nothing that is better for nervo usnesi
than to eat literally of celery. At

Baker and Mr.. Burton have always
been personal and political friends.
Mr. Burton championed the cause Of
Mr. Baker for governor, and has al
ways stood by him in bis political as
pirations, and there could be no pos
sible motive for Mr.. Burton referring
to Senator Baker at this time in any
terms other than complimentary.
The League members who heard
Mr.. Burton's remarks on Thursday
understood them just as Mr.. Burton
intended them. Their mark Of ap-
proval showed they SO understood
them. Mr.. Burton could have re-
ferred to nothing except the dema-
gogical cry that Populists and some
few men Of other parties have been
raising for years. Populists for four
years have made this their battle cry,
that the office should seek the man.
And when one glances around over
this state and other states in which
Populism has dragged Its "iound'
men from the depths Of obscurity and
sees what class Of imbeciles that
method has produced he must come
to no other conclusion than that the
statement is true, that "the office
usually finds chump."
The Kansas City Times and Star,
and Topeka's Populistic papers assert
land their statements have misled the
Kansas City Gazette and other
papers, that "there was no applause. "
Yet no one knows better than they
that the statement is an absolute
falsehood.
II II were true that the Office should
seek the man and not the man the
office, it would be reflection upon
every great and distinguished states
man from Washington to the present
time, for every man who has added
one whit to the craftsmanship Of this
country has been an aspirant for
office, has sought earnestly and dill
gently for public position.
No one who knows J. r. Burton
or who heard his speech at the
League meeting will be deceived by
the petty phrase-twisters who are at
tempting to weaken him by such UNI
fair and unmanly perversion Of his
remarks. Mr.. Burton is not that
kind Of n man and this latest snarl Of
the Populistic press will strengthen
him with those whrse good opinion
