FEEDING MARLEr GARDENS.

4
The old idea that fertilizers were
not adapted to market gardening, was
long ago exploded by the practical
experience Of the big market garden
ers near our large cities and by the
truck farmers in the south. Cabbage,
celery, lettuce, spinach and similar
leafy vegetables depend for quality
upon quick growth, and it results only
from plenty of soluble plant food in
the soil. "a slow growth is usually
tough, dull and rusty, while quick
growth is tender, bright and crisp"
Only by filling the soil with decom-
posed stable manure in excess of what
the crops need, can the needed supply
of available plant food be obtained
from manure. Usually it is cheaper
and more satisfactory to feed these
market garden crops with fertlli zers
than to buy horse manure at high
prices and haul or ship it long dis
tances.

Value of Celery Root.

The root of the celery plant is not as
widely appreciated as it should be- An
authority cited by the Boston Journal
says of it:
1.-The root of celery has been sadly de-
spised. outrageously misunderstood. 1t,
too, is at the service Of man during
greenless months, when, so feeble is his
imagination, he seldom scars above
sprouts. 1t may be boiled, and then
white sauce we'll becomes it; it may be
fried in close embracing bread crumbs !;
it may be fashioned into puree; it may
be stewed. Why let it linger longer, the

rival to opium. Eat it for which of its
many excellences you sill. cnly see that

A country boy who was brought up in

A European Idea.

One Of the most characteristic features
of European prisons a. a whole is that
prisoners are allowed 10 have portion
of their earnings. This system prevails
i'll France, Germany. Italy, Switzerland
Russia, sweden, Denmark and other
countries. The amount earned by the
prisoners varies considerably where it
depends upon piece work. In France the
average salary Of the prisoner Is 35 cents
day. OF this amount the prisoner IS
allowed to spend One-half while in pris-
on for supplementary food and clothing,
postage, etc, though no expenditure il
made without the approval of the ad-
ministration. The other half is reserved
until the time of his discharge. a three
years prisoner has To his credit on leav-
ing an average Of $50, four years
prisoner $40 and five years prisoner
about $90.-Chicago Record.

Kissing.

An English Journal prints the follow
ing: "A very disagreeable habit of the
king OF Portugal is that he kisses his
male friends. The princes of our reign
ing house all do this, and of course it is
common enough abroad; but, thank
heaven, so far this nasty looking (nO
matter how really innocent) habit has
never become fashionable in this coun-
try. 1t is of course all mere question
of etiquette, but let us fervently pray
that Englishmen when they meet with
or part from their friends will never get
to think it the correct thing to kiss one
another. Etiquette in parting varies all
over the world. In America the men
shake hands and the women kiss one an
other and sometimes cry, for the Amer
lean ladies are champion weepists. In
France and in Italy even more the wOm-
Ell weep, while the men kiss and hug
one another almost as vigorously as if
they were in a wrestling match. An
English woman shakes hands with a
man of her acquaintance, while in Spain
she always gives her hand 10 be kissed.
1t makes the same sensation in Madrid
for a man to take a woman's hand and
shake it as it would in London for a for
eigner to seize lady s hand and kiss it. !"
