Celery in Michigan.

Since 1880 Kalamazoo celery has
bad frat place in the market, and the
small Michigan town has built up a
National reputation for itself on the
strength of its celery.growing. The
excellence of Kalamazoo celery is said
to be due to small area of meadows
or bottom lands, where the soil con.
sists Of a peculiar form of black muck,
the result of vegetable decomposition,
especially favorable to the celery's
need. These meadows are largely
covered by glass hotbeds, by means Of
which four crops year are raised.
The work is principally monopolized
by Hollanders, occupying frame
dwellings, on their small holdings. 1t
is estimated that the Kalamazoo celery
beds produce from 5000, 900 to 4, OOO,.
600 dozen bunohes per annum, netting
the town at least 100000. The car
penters of the town supply the wooden
boxes in which the celery is packed.
The largest celery farm under one
management in the country is said to
be that at Greentown. Ohio, where
100 acres are covered with celery beds.

tilized just as orange and lemon Or
chards? Farmers go to great trouble
and expense to plant apple orchards,
and willingly cultivate them until they
begin to bear, and then expect nature
to keep them producing bountifully.
Apple trees are slow in coming into
bearing, and crop of peach trees
planted between the rows will live
their shorter life, hearing several
crops OF fruit, and be out of the way
before the apples crowd them greatly.
The latter will protect the peach trees,
while the peaches will check growth
in the apples and induce earlier fruit
age.
Do not forget that to make sue.
cess of fruit growing or anything else,
for that matter, requires that close
attention be given to detail, and that
lots Of intelligent. we'll directed labor
be expended. Trees and plants will
not take care of themselves, and the
man who is the best posted will be the
one to win. TO get posted and keep
posted, read the horticultural matter.
When the peach tree is not pruped,
long slender branches form, and these
produce fruit mainly at their outer
ends. The tree will carry much more
fruit if properly distributed, and will
produce more perfect fruit. The cut
ting will not be attended with injury,
if done while the tree is dormant.
That the peach tree should be left to
grow at will is an out grown idea.

POULTRY RAISING,

In the first place man must possess
certain amount of that carefulness
so essential in this branch OF business.
1t is as reasonable to expect corn
planted on ground that never was
plowed. and that never received any
attention until gathering time, to
yield well, as to expect to be success
ful raising poultry by simply turning
them out to care for themselves, win.
ter and summer, to procure their food
as best they can.
This may be all we'll enough at Ger.
tain seasons OF the year when insects
and green food are abundant; but
during the remainder OF the year they
need the proper amount of care and
attention or the profitable part of the
business will come up missing when
we square up our accounts at the end
OF the year. Cholera. roup. and the
thousand and one ills that chicken
flesh is heir to, will sweep them off
like gnatS before the summer storm.
One will tell you that his success de-.
pends upon this very essential thing !;
another will tell you that certain other
things are the very ones upon which
he depends. and that other things are
entirely superduous, and so the anna
teur reads this ones views and that
ones views on the matter, all differing
very widely, until he is like the mari.
ner without his compass lost at sea.
No fixed and unalterable law can be
laid down as guide to success in the
poultry business, but each one must
have little snap about him, watching
carefully the varied wants OF each
flock.
While certain kind of fowl may
do well kept in certain way on GER
tain kind of feed, another kind will
not seem to thrive al all kept in this
way, but should be supplied with some.
thing different. For example, the
Leghorn requires fat forming food to
put them in good laying condition,
while the Cochin needs to be carefully
fed. less they become too fat, and not
lay at all.
Exercise is an all important factor
that must not be lost sight of. If
your fowls are confined TO small runs
SO that they do not get the proper
amount of exercise their grain food
should be buried under straw and
chat, causing them to hunt it out for
themselves; plenty of gravel, ground
bone, dust baths, and fresh water, and
the last and most important of the list
is cleanliness. The utmost cleanliness
must be adopted in all things con-
nected with your fowls, from the
roosts to the feed troughs and the
coops for the young. Once in shape
and then strictly attended to each day
will save tenfold the amount OF labor
required to clean up after things have
once become filthy. Watch every
point in connection with the matter
and in the end success will be yours.

ORNAMENTAL TREES AND SHRUBS.

There is great difference of opin'
ion as to what trees are the most suit.
BILE for ornamental planting. 1t is,
however, admitted that it is desirable
to plant trees in parks, about homes,
roadsides and waste places. Among
the most beautiful ornamental trees
are the American white elm, white ash,
and sugar maple. These are fine look
ing trees, hardy and make good shade.
1t costs but little more to plant these
than the almost worthless cottonwood,
box elder or poplar. Other trees that
are very desirable are the haokberry,
cut.leaved white birch and for orna.
mental purposes the Russian snow
ball.
