mulch on the surface to conserve mos
ture. When the plants are eight OF
ten inches high, blanching may be
begun. This can be done with boards
set on edge, earth heaped around them,
fOur-inch tile slipped over them or com
mon butchers paper wrapped around
them and tied with string, the main
principle being exclusion of light.
The leaves should be compressed to
prevent earth falling i'm the center or
crown of the plant. During the grow
ing season the leaves should not be en-
tirely buried. One of my experiments
was to use two-foot tile instead of one
foot, slipped over small plants, in the
hope that the leaf stocks would grow
out of tile two feet long and be beauti-
fully blanched. After gazing into the
tile at short intervals for two or three
weeks, thought the plants seemed to
be growing down. Lifting off the tile
to Investigate, every plant was found
dead. Verdict, died of imprisonment.
I would prefer fence boards set on edge
each side of the row. Tie the stakes
opposite each other, at the top foot
or more above the first boards, and fill
between the boards anound the celery
with one hand and shovel earth with
the other. AS the celery grows, more
boards may be slipped between the
stakes over the first board and filled in
the earth AZ before.-JOhn Rhodes be-

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition OF the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trOub-
le. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, BLADDER and every part of
the urinay passage It corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in passing
it. or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled to
get up many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swan Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. IF you need
q medicine you should have the best.

Celery Culture SimpMHed.

Celery prefers deep black loan,
which retains moisture well, but suf-
ficiently drained to prevent sAtnration.
AS to va7ities, individual taste should
be the guide. My choice would be
Giant Pascal or Golden Heart. Having
patronized seedmen to the extent of
finding something which suits, my
advice would be to grow your own
seeds. After eating the tops, the roots
may be wintered in the cellar as easily
as potatoes. These roots planted the
following spring will bear seed abund-
antly, which, if dried before freezing
and kept dry, will surely grow, and If
no other variety has been grown near
it will be true to name. If more seed
is grown than needed it CAN be put
through q coffee mill and used for
flavoring soups, meats, etc. Our plan
IS to SOW seed quite thick in drills, and
do no transpfanting, but thin out,
when an inch or two high, to six inches
apart. The seed is quite slow to ger
inmate, and should be sowed shallow.
We usually draw q line, mark along
the line with the hoe handle, SOW seed
and rake in it.
Thorough cultivation through the

The Oflcial Paper Of San Juan County
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4th, 1897.

In the sudden death of Henry George
at the very climax of The great contest
for the first mayoralty of Greater New
York, for which he was one of the most
formidable candidates, the socialist Ia
Dor cause has sustained loss which
will long be severely felt. Mr.. George
was not an agitator, in the common &C
ceptation of that term, but was an able
and sincere man who had undoubtedly
became an honest convert to the Pc
culiar theories of government and tax
alton which he advocated. The recog-
nized sincerity of his writings made his
advocacy of impractical doctrines lar
more dangerous than the wild and rev.
olutionary talk of such labor agitators
as Debs and Sovereign. The effect OF
his sudden removal from the field OF
political strife in the great metropolis
of the country can be no more than
guessed at now, for his following was
largely personal and it is extremely
doubtful if his supporters can be held
together in anything like q solid
phalanx under the leadership OF his
son. The election was held Tuesday
and while the Republican leaders pro-
fessed to be confident that the cause OF
good government would triumph and
General Tracy be elected, it seems
rather more probable at this writing
that the Tammany ticket has been
elected and that the first government
of the mighty city will be dominated
throughout by the most corrupt and
mischievous political organization on
the western continent.
