FOR THE MAIDEN PRIZE.
National Rifles Drill This Afternoo
at ST. Louis.

ut ST. Louis.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CAMP HANCOCK, St Louis, Mo-, July G.
The order of drilling in the maiden for
today has been changed. The Bullene
Guards reported in the rain at $50 this
morning according to Instructions issued
yesterday, but on account of the terrible
condition of the drill grounds after a
heavy rain, lasting all night, they were
instructed to postpone II till this afternoon.
The order in which the maiden companies
will drill is as follows: Bullene Guards at
2 pm; Nationa Rifles, at pm; Phoenix
Light Infantry, at pm: company F. Ma
t:Cnal Guards, Mo-, at D pm The COM
msrding officers of the respective COM
panies report for the program one hour
before the drill. Company F was not
eady for inspection last Tuesday when the
other companies were inspected, and, in ac-
cordance with the drill regulations. have
been ruled out of the inspection. This
counts one-fifth off for both interstate and
rlaiden drills.
The contest for The maiden drill will come
off under Very unfavcrable circums tances
The rain is coming down lard, and the
drill ground is worse than the dismal
swamp. The companies will be compelled
to drill on the grass, and besides contend
ing with the wet under foot, they viii have
to go out in a pouring rain. Everything
around camp looks very dismal, and. from
the overcast sky and murky atmosphere,
10 say nothing OF the mud, the prospect or
having any kind Of attendance at the
Chaperones ball tonight is very small.
The Zouave drills came off in fine shape
yesterday. The first place is given, by COM
men consent, to the Neelys Of Memphis,
Tenn. Their drill was superb, and the en-
tire company moved one man.
The Walsh Zouaves had two men over
come by the heat, and the ambulance of
battery A was again called into willing
service.
The quarters OF the National Rifles were
inspected yesterday by their chaperon,
Mrs Morrison. and her maids of honor,
Misses Lille Carr, Ella Cochrane and May
Farr.
The men were introduced individually,
and the ladies seemed very much pleased
with the way they kept house and with the
boys, too. They were entertained at the
club house. at the fair grounds by the
officers of the Rifles at luncheon yesterday
The spread cost like blazes, but the Rifles
are used 10 that kind of entertaining, and
thought to give the st. Louis people hint
as to how to do the honors. The boys hope
it will take effect.
The National Rifles leave here for home
Monday noon. They viii lie over at some
point on the road in order to arrive at
nome at night Tuesday. Mr.. Cannon

CULTURE OF CELERY.
Once Discarded Vegetable. But Nov
Universally Used,

Once Discarded Vegetable, But Now
Universally Used,
Celery, like the now popular and
universally-usedt tomato, was not long
ago considered to be poisonous, or, at
least, unit for human food. To-day
the demand for the crisp esculent is
met by gardeners, north, south, east
and west, ten months in the year.
Formerly the celery season was con.
fined to the winter months, and prices
ranged so high that the table of the
rich were alone decorated with the
graceful stalks. Celery in wild state
is rank, II not noxious, and certainly
unpalatable, It is.a plant that only
attains its appetizing perfection after
much labor and watchful care. For
this reason the best celery comes from
the sections Of the country settled by
German gardeners,
The great celery beds of the nation
are in Michigan. especially in the
vicinity Of Kalamazoo, where no less
than 100000 acres are devoted ex.
clusively to It's culture. A deep. rich,
well-drained soil is required. The
seed is planted thickly. When the
plants reach a height Of two or three
inches they are taken up and trans.
planted into long ditohes and allowed
to grow from eight to twelve inches
tall, They are again transplanted for
bleaching. The stalk il kept Gov.
cred with dark, rich soil, heaped up
until the lowering top 10 alone ex.

HOW MADE $1,000

By not sowing Salzer's seeds! That is
what a jolly farmer said as he entered
our sanctum. How is that? Why,
says he, Salzer's seeds not only grow
but they produce enormously. Had /
planted a few acres more of his oats,
wheat, corn. potatoes, grass and clover
seeds, would have had to double the
capacity of my barns; that would have
cost me 81, 200. It is q fact that if you
want big, rousing farm, grass and vege-
table crops, you must sow Salzer's seeds.
IF you WILL CUT THIS OUT AND SEND 1T
with &c postage to the John A. Salzer
Seed company, La Crosse, Wis, you will
