FINE CELERY.
Blanched Plants Which Pay Well for the
Growing.

Blanched Plants Which Pay Well for the
Growing.
Celery plants are now in the market, and
this means that it is time to prepare the
bed for growing next winters supply.
The old way of setting out celery was to
dig trenches, bed the plants in these, and
as the stalks grew to push the earth down
upon them, keeping just the leaves above
the soil. When the plants were matured,
the earth about the tops would be at the
ordinary level.
Nowadays, according to the Philadel-
pha Ledger, the plants are set six inches
apart, in rows three or four feet apart, and
in every way cultivated like cabbages,
until about the middle Of September, when
banking up or drawing the earth up around
the stalks begins. Some do not bank it at
all, but get the desired bleaching and crisp
ness by placing boards on either side, some
using long boards held together at the top
with hook and eye, covering whole row,
Others using small boards, two to each
plant. These boards are made to reach
just to the leaves, and are designed to shade
the stalk. Others again will use stiff brown
paper, tying it round about each bunch
| Celery, to be at its best, should have a rich,
moist, loamy soil 1t is hearty eater,
but its food must be ready for immediate
use and easy to get at.
Mr.. Thomas Record, gardener, whose
celery has the lead wherever shown, says:
''There are many who take vast pains to
grow celery, but, beyond throwing little
earth up to it towards autumn, the blanch-
ing has for the most part, to take its
chance. Blanched celcry-that is, if per.
fectly done-has a transparency which rec
ommends it, for it looks well on the table
and gives the promise of being tender and
sweet, which testing proves, and its crisp
ness shows that the grower knew what he
was about head that is not properly
blanched is more or less rank in taste, and
excepting small portion of the heart, is
only fit for soups. There is no crop that
will bring ore credit to the gardener than
celery, nor one that makes better return
for time spent. 1t sometimes pays as n re
ward for labor, and to show Just how much
has been the result of time and effort leave
few plants in each row to natures care,
and then mark the difference.
an well-worked soil carthing-up is not
much trouble, because there is no lack of
fine earth to place round the plants. This
earth should be pressed to the plants with
one hand, while the other hand holds the
plant upright and keeps the leaf stalks
straight and close, so that no earth may
penetrate to the heart Of the plant. After
wards the bulk of the earth may be added
with spade. In heavy soils the work of
preparing the soil for use in earthing-up
must be carried on during the summer,
and, if at earthing-up time ii is not su1ic
icntly broken up to apply next the plants,
some soil must be prepared. have used
burnt ear til mixed up with old potting soil
with advantage, but it must only be very
moderately moist. Or, finely sifted coal
ashes are good substitute and will keep
the stalks from being marked by worms
and slugs."

WINTER LAYING HENS.

Watch the flock of hens this year and
mark those that begin to moult early, for
that is the kind that is wanted to make
early layers. a hen moults when her year S
work is done, says Farm News, and if she
begins to lay in the fall and lays through
the winter, she finishes her year and takes
on new coat of feathers early, to be ready
for the cold weather.

winter will not get her new plumage in

THAT CURIOUS nIr OF HISTORY.
The Proposed North Carolina ALL
unce with France.

SCOTLAND NECK, n. c.. October 10
Special)-Your correspondent has learned
something definite about that strange
bit OF North Carolina history in 1850.
There was q convention held at HilPs
Ferry, on the Roanoke river, about seven
miles from Scotland Neck, on the 18th
Of October OF that year. Hills Ferry
IS near the point where the counties Of
Halifax. Edgecombe, Martin, and Berthe
join. There were about three hundred
persons present, mainly from these four
counties, but Warren county was also
represented. 1t was an all-day meet
Ing. with a big barbecue. There were
two sets OF resolutions presented for the
consideration OF the convention. One set
OF resolutions favored turning North
Carolina back TO England before sub
hitting TO the coercion which seemed 20
be coming. The other resolutions ia
yOred forming an alliance, offensive and
defensive, with France, under Napoleon
III. The matter was discussed v.sor-
ously by the friends of both sets
OF resolutions, but the vote was In favor
Of forming the alliance with France.
The proceedings Of that convention are
in the possession of u well-known gen.
tleman in this State, and these papers
may some day form an important. or.
at least, interesting. page In North Caro-
lna's history.
These particulars OF the curious bit OF
North Carolina history were yester-
day given your correspondent by a
prominent gentleman, who participated
In the meeting, and who, so far as
known. is the only person now living who
took any prominent part in the discus
sion and general proceedings.
