In the olden times the chief
pride of the amateur gardner was
in the department devoted to vegetables
and small fruits, says Meehan's Month
ly. 1t was wonderful what immense crops
could be secured from a small space. The
first operation in new vegetable plot
would be to trench it, as the task was
technically called. The earth was turned
absolutely upside down for some three
feet in depth. As the subsoil brought to
the surface was poor, a good coat of ma
nure was necessary for immediate effect.
But, in few years, when the upper sur
face became crop sick, il would be turned
under again-and so on, ad intintum,
celery flourished beyond almost any other
vegetable: 1t was planted in deep trenches
that would hold water, and permitted of
abundant earth for blanching with faciI-
ity. Old world gardeners tell fabulous
stories of the many score of pounds a
stalk would weigh-and most of 1t as soft,
tender and crisp as an almond kernel But
in these days this is regarded as too
much labor. The pillow is the great gard
en- implement, and as deep as the pillow can
so is regarded as the perfection of cul-
ture. Even if spade-folk culture has to
be depended on few care to go further
than good plow-depth. The best celery
stock nowadays is rarely thicker than a
delicate lady's arm. But it is still regard
ed as just the thing to make shallow
trenches, though they are rarely more
than four inches deep. The manure is
concentrated therein after the celery
plants are set out

have seen this so many times in the
case of ants that l do not see how it can
be doubted by anyone who has taken the
trouble to study the matter. In the
northern part of Wisconsin, where the
winters are severe, / have seen, in the rot
ten hearts of trees just felled. thousands
of frozen ants which would crawl about
very soon after being exposed to a fire.
There could scarcely be any doubt that
the ants were frozen, for l have made this
observation when the temperature was
from ten to fifteen degrees below zero
Farenheit, when the wood fibres were as
brittle as glass, and the bodies and legs
of ants would snap like spicules of Ice
when attempts were made 10 bend them.
AS to the freezing of live fibres there is
an abundance of testimony. The latest
you may find in the magazine number of
the Outlook for January, 1S96.-It occurs
in an article on Mr.. John Burroughs, and
this acute observer makes the statement.

A SUPPOSED REMART1ABLE CURE.
One of st. Anthony's Bones Said to
Have Done Good Work.

From the Philadelphia Record.
New York, June 1.-The Franciscan mon
astery on Thompson street is the mecca
for many Of the physically afflicted of this
city. Many cures are reported as being
effected there. The most recent is that Of
Terrence Forrest, a laundryman, Of No.
70 Bedford street. He was afflicted with
dropsy, and his case was pronounced hope
less by the attending physicians.
Recently Forrest sent for one of the
Franciscan fathers. Father McCabe re-
sponded and found the man in a dying
condition. He administered the last sacra-
ment. He then bethought himself of the
relic of st. Anthony. The dying man pray
ed fervently and had faith in the relic. He
rallied Immediately, got out of bed, dressed
himself ate a hearty supper, and went to
work the next morning. The franciscan
father said to-day that the relic was a
chip of a bone of st. Anthony. who has
been dead 400 years. lie attributes the cure

ii cheaper than 1 can buy it?
Answer.-There is no question that you
can raise your rice cheaper than you can
buy it. and every farmer in Georgia
should by all means do so. Any land that
will make cotton or corn will make rice,
but it is preferable to plant it in new
ground, as the cultivation will then be
easier. Break your land thoroughly, use
200 pounds of any good standard fertil-
izer, bed in three feet rows IS you would
for cotton, open a shallow furrow, plant
can either plant the seed in q, continuous
in a place-every u to Is inches Guilt
vate as YOU would cotton, keeping it free
from grass and weeds, and with ordi-
nary seasons you should make from Is
to 20 bushels to the acre. The great trou-
Bile is hulling the rice after it is made
and unless there is a mill in your vicin-
ity, you must either ship your grain to
the coast cities to have it hulled, or beat
it out at home in a wooden mortar-a
very tedious process. Small rice mills
can be put up for from $500 to $400 and
there should be one OF more in every
county in the state l know of one in
Southwest Georgia that cleaned or hulled
over 900 bushels of rice last year, where
before it was started there was very lit
