The 10 year old daughter OF A. B. Os-
good, Florence, started away from home

out. Yesterday her continued absence

Friday evening train and remained there
with some friends and started back yes

here but continued on toward Denver.

RAISING CHICKoRY.

1t seems that the farmers in West
ern Nebraska are following the advice
we gave to farmers generally some
time ago, and are turning their atten-
ton to raising chickory. 1t is the best
substitute for coffee known, and in
many parts of Europe is preferred to
coffee. All real French coffee" has
more or less chickory in it, and those
who have grown accustomed to the
mixture prefer it to pure coffee. Very
much of the coffee we use in this cOun-
try is adulterated with chickory, and
substantially all the coffee extracts
have chickory in them.
We import about 100000 pounds
of raw chickory every year, and about
1000 pounds more burnt, roasted
ground or otherwise prepared" The
manufacture of chickory has become sc
important in this country that the
manufacturers secured duty of two
cents a pound upon the manufactured
product, while the raw comes in free.
The Nebraska farmer gets all thu
way from three to eight ions an acr.
of chickory roots, and the price range.
as high as $1,000 ton. There is :
good market for it, and it will be quit,
a while until we raise enough TO NEE
the home demand.
Chickory is a plant of the dandeliol
family. and will grow anywhere tina

ing celery under the impression that
its cultivation. and especially the
blanching of the leaves, is dificuit
operation. Celery used to be grown
much more extensively than now.
The deep trenching that was once
thought necessary is now considered
Injurious, as sudden showers in sum-
mer will fill the trenches with water
and half bury the young plants in mud
before they have fairly begun growing.
1t is much better to plant on level sur
face, and blanch the stalks by exciud-
ing light with boards set against the
rows of celery on each side. The SOIL
needs to be as rich as it is possible 10
make it, and with plenty Of water so
that the growth shall never cease. III
there is any stoppage of growth, the
celery will be tough, stringy and lack
ing in the nutty flavor of celery grown
from start to finish as quickly as pos
sible. Coarse stable manure must not
be used for celery. No matter now
much water the celery has, the manure
will at some time heat and cause the
celery to stop growing. That will make
the celery tough, no matter how Wei
grown it is otherwise. The best ma
terial for celery is nitrate of soda
which will furnish nitrogen in availa-
BILE form without heating.-American

KEEPING COMMERCIAL FERTIL1-
FER,

Most farmers in purchasing CONNER
cial fertilizers buy only what are
needed for immediate use. This Is
partly to escape losing the interest on
investments not in use, but mainly be-
cause there is popular idea that fer
tilizers deteriorate by exposure to the
air. If they are kept from becoming
wet they will be as good the second
year as the first, except that Absorb

which make it difficult to drill. The
best way to keep any surplus OF min

ton. as each kind of fertilizer VIII

His Word.

The Rev. Or. James McCosh, lately
the president Of Princeton College, was
n man who dared always speak WORD
"in season" or out of season; for the
result. he would trust the good chances
of life. Before Doctor McCosh came
to this country Lord Dufferin frequent
" invited him to his mansion, Clande-

entertaining much company; but this
was not enough to satisfy the doctor.
One day as the two were riding IN
the park, they loosened rein and went
slowly. and the clergyman mustered
what he afterward called either tine
courage or the impertinence" to say
| to his host:
",fv lord. fear you are not fulfilling
| the end of your life.
Lord Dufferin turned to him some
what imperiously and asked: IVY ma

thoughtfully and earnestly, that

DR.. McCosh assured him that he oil
think SO, and the conversation contir
ued as they rode slowly homeward.
No one can now say whether this tai
had any influence on Lord Dufferin'
conduct, but it was not long before b

Music After Difficulties.

Columbia, at the National. In Colon
bia. Chile. Peru and Bolivia the people
are all musically inclined. Until a few
years ago string instruments were the
only ones used, but it is the custom of
the wealthy people to educate their
sons in Europe. There they become ac.
quainted with pianos, and now few
families of any social distinction are
without such Instruments. This IS re
markable only because of the fact thai
pianos must be carried for hundreds

ISOLATION FOR MILK AZ
CREAM.

Milk is sure to absorb any odors with
which it is brought in contact. cream
and butter having greater proportion
of fats absorb odors even more quickly
than will milk. This fact emphasizes
the necessity Of keeping both milk,
cream and butter out of reach OF foul
odors of any kind. This can hardly
be done while the milk is Kept where
the odor of cooking vegetables OF all
kinds can reach it, Almost any klnd
of odor from cooking, when combineu
with butter fats, soon becomes exceed
ingly offensive, as in the fat the char-
acter of the odor is greatly changed.
