against it, and continue in this way until the cellar is full l,Estoring from 5000 to 10000 punches, which are sold before January. l commence to put it in about October 15, so as to get it blanched for the Thanksgiving trade. 1 sometimes find it necessary to hurry the blanching to get it ready for market. This l do by elevating a barrel a little above the celery, attaching hose to it, and laying one end of it down on the roots of the celery. This plan does not wet stalks and starts new root growth, which, when the cellar is made dark, causes it to bIanch in a short time.
 The celery which is marketed after January is Crenched out.of doors as follows: About the 1st of November l take up the unblanched celery without any banking or handling. l put about six rows in trench. 1 first take up the two middle rows of plants with 8 spading fork, setting them to one side, then run the blow several times through the place from which the plants were taken, making 8 deep furrow. This in made deep enough with a spade SC. that the tops of tine plants when standing upright in the trench will be about inches above the surface. 1 make the trench wide enough for four plante, and take them up with little soil on the roots, and set them rather loosely in the trench. This allows more air to circulate among them, and they are less liable to heat and rot. The earth is drawn close to the plants with hoe, or if boards are at hand, narrow boards may first be set on both sides of the celery; these will keep the earth from coming Tn contact with the celery, and will save washing it. Two boards are nailed together in the form of trough, and laid over the rows for a roofto keep the plants dry. A small opening is left at the ends and joints for ventilation, which is filled with straw in cold weather. It is very important that attention be given to ventilation, if the celery is to keep well. Before the ground freezes, about foot of cath IS shoveled on the trenches, and it is better l to put this on gradually.
 If the celery is properly trenched, it
 will keep well until spring, when it will bring good price. For family use the trenches may be made in sections so that one section may be taken up without exposing the rest of it. I usually throw some manure on the trenches to prevent the ground freezing too hard. The trenches are opened on warm days in the
 winter, and the celery taken to the cellar, from which it is carried to warm room, as it is wanted for market, and trimmed and washed.3
 The next most profitable vegetables are trenched out of doors are cabbages. The process of burying cabbages for win ter is very simple. A trench is made about IS inches deep and the eabbages pulled and placed in the trench, leaving on all the loose leaves. If the heads are hard, put the heads down, and the roots
 up. Ifthey are loose, put the roots down and shfngle them in, l. e., lean them part- ly over, so as to keep the water out of them. Throw little earth on them to ] hold The leaves down, and before the
