that he selected her, not because she was

Celery For Home and Market.

With proper management celery may
now be had nearly all the year round,
and consumers have become more dis
eliminating as to the qualities of the
different varieties, as is evidenced BY
the following inquiry from one Of the
largest celery growers in Ohio: is it
not advisable for growers to use more of
the self blanching varieties of celery like
Perfection Heartwell or Perle lie Grande
and less Golden Self Blanching, and are
not the pink and red varieties the best
for marketing?'
This inquiry was submitted to num-
Der of experienced growers in various
sections of the country, and their an
swers as published in The American
Agrioulturist are highly interesting and
show low the tastes of buyers differ in
different localities and how important
it is for growers to acquainG themselves
with tine requirements of their markets.
Nearly all agree that the eating quail
ties of the pink and red varieties are
superior to those of all others, but for
marketing they are almost worthless.

In the evening the Silver Medal

able selection by Miss Corinne Pull

pleasing manner. After the usual
closing exercises the convention ad-
jOurned to meet at nine O'Clock Friday

If there should be trees or buildings
near to interfere, the box may be set on
posts as high as you choose. Mine is 8
feet to the top of the box.
Tnere Is no time OF year wnen injury
may not be done to soil by having stock
run over it. But there is greater danger
of this in moist, open weather in winter
than at any other time in the year.
There is nothing for stock to get at this
season by roaming over the fields even
if they are bare of snow. The poachfng
which pasture and meadow lands get BY
being trampled in late fall or open spells
during the winter destroys much grass.
1t is not much, if any, better when the
field has to be plowed in spring. The
soil will turn up full of clods made by
the poaching, and it will take a great
deal Of extra cultivation to make the
plowed surface into a seed bed fit for
any hoed crop.

Dairying requires constant study and
intelligent thought. 1t requires years in
which to build up profitable herd Of
cows and to learn how to feed and care
for them and to handle the product.
The man who can successfully breed
and feed dairy cow has a mind above
the average. He is a student, a keen.
bright business man, and you will not
find this class Of men dissatisfied with
their business. 1t is the class Of men
who are constantly changing from one

wheels feet in diameter-that is, we
use four by inch hard wood pieces s
feet long, and they cross on the axle, so
that the fans are feet long, and we
make them feet wide, so that the fan
is square. We use half inch lumber
to cover the fans. Lap siding does very

than the wheel so that there is no dam

SCHOOL BOND ELECTION.

If four people give to the question
of providing needed school room the
same generous and lively interest
that they have invariably given to
school matters in the past, the prop
osition fer $4,000 bonds for a new
school building on the North side
will carry next Tuesday by vote OF
two to one. If, however, the present
state of indifference to the question
continues it is the writer's opinion
that the bonds will fail by default,
three to one.
1t seems hardly necessary to en-
large upon the need for more school
room. The school enumeration year
ago was 627. The enumeration this
year, on June 80, was 927. The
writer recently discussed the matter
with Mr.. Josiah LanyOn, builder of
the new smelter. In about 80 days
they hope to commence regular smelt-
ing operations. About IS heads of
families with their families are to
come when work opens. The secre-
tary of the lola Manufacturing Co.
tells me that quite number of fami-
lies of the men in their employ will
be here within four months. All
these children are still to come and
to be provided for before the end of
this school year.
We now have enough children to
fill four new rooms. Further room
will certainly be needed before the
next year is upon US. have been
diligently canvassing objections this
week. The first objection is against
an eight room building at this time.
Parties presenting this argue that the
room building on the North side and
next year, if need be, call for another
four room building elsewhere in town.
Two four-room buildings will cost
a third more than eight rooms under
one roof. Our Board have carefully
considered as to the location where
additional room will probably . be
needed next year as well as at pres
ent. Everything points to the great
est CONGESTION of population in the
northwest part of the city. The new
building will be easily accessible to
all this territory and not too remote
from the northeast part of town for
probably tive or three years, at least,
to come.
There are those who insist that the
Board are calling for money enough
to put up too luxurious and we'll ap-
pointed building. 1t need only be
said that they are asking for only
money sufficient to build plain and
substantial, but thoroughly modern
school building. Four walls and
roof with stoves to heat the rooms
would not cost very much. The
plans that the Board favor call for
a complete system of heating and
ventilation by q first class plant.
Those who have known of the years
of discomfort and in some cases posi-
tive suffering springiDg from the in
complete heating and ventilating ar
rangements in our present building |

ANDREE's BALLOON TRIp.-Geogr

ANDREE's BALLOON TRIp.-Geogra
piers and aeronauts are hopeful Il a
Apdree's novel method of attempliI 6
to reach the north pole by meaus of d
balloon will prove successful. The
reports of the capture OF carrier pige-
ous bringing news from the exploIe
are now generally discredited, and it
is not believed that Andree will be heard
from for some time. The concensus OF
opinion among experts is that the first
authentic news will come either from
Alaska or Siberia. One expert in ball
looming, with whom Andree consulted,
declares that the trip to the pole will
be easier of accomplishment than tal-
loon voyage from the south to the
north of Europe, for the reason that no
variations of temperature will be met
with. The long Arctic day will be an
other advantage. 1t is not denied that
Andree has assumed great risks, but it
is believed that he has fair chance OF
success.
Andree's balloon, when it started,
rose to height of 600 feet and appear
ed to travel north-northeast at the rate
of about twenty-five miles an hour. II
that were maintained, and the balloon
travelled straight, it would take but a
comparatively short time to cross over
the pole.
