too VAIN. For winter storage the
method in vogue in some celery grow
ing districts is to make, on we'll
drained soils, beds of four to six
double rows Of plants with wall OF
dirt between. Bank up on the out
side till the tips of the leaves just
show above the surface of the bed.
Leave the bed in this condition till
nard freezing begins, then throw two
or three inches of soil over the surface.
Let this soil freeze hard before apply
Ing litter, and never apply heavy
cover at the first approach of cold
weather. The soil in the bed Is still
warm, and If heavy coat of manure
is put on the top, the frost is soon
taken out of the surface soil and the
temperature will be high enough TO
induce decay. The secret of success
with the winter storage of celery is to
keep cool. AS the severe weather of
winter approaches, the covering of lit
ter may be increased unless there is a
fall of snow.
To open the beds take the litter off
from one end, breNk the crust OF soil
with pickaxe, and remove any de-
sired amount of celery. Then care
fully replace the covering. This plan
has the merit of cheapness, and for
holding plants through the winter Is
preferable in pit or cellar. II the
plants are to be disposed of as early
as January, they may be stored in a
cool cellar or pit. In this case the
plants are set very closely together on
loose moist loan. To avoid heating
consequent on packing large quanti-
ties OF the plants together, compart-
ments about two feet wide by eight or
ten feet long are made by setting up
boards, which shall come to the tops
OF the plants when in place. If the
plants are closely packed so as to ex-
clude the air it is unnecessary to use
boards between them. When plants
are stored in this way 1t is necessary
to keep the temperature of the pit or
cellar as near the freezing point as
possible. If, however, it is desired to
hasten the process of blanching, the
temperature OF the place may be
raised. The soil in which the plants
are placed should be kept moist to
prevent whiting, but tie foliage should
always be kept dry, or there will be
trouble from rotting.

Partly Analyzed Soils.

The analysis of soils Is of good
deal of Importance to the farmer and
yet no analysis can tell exactly what
q soil will do or what it most needs.
BY chemical analysis we get certain
results. The test shows the chemicals
that compose the soil but it does not
show the humus and ready plant food.
Thus two soils might analyze exactly
alike and yet one of them might be
a productive and the other an unpro-
ductive soil. One might be rich in
humus and the other contain no hui
mus. In one the available nitrogen
might be large, while in the other
there might be no available nitrogen
The analysis of soils is a thing that
should be carried on to a greater ex-
tent than at present, but we must not
look for too great results from it. One
Of the best analyses of soils is that
made by the actual plants. Knowing
the needs of different plants we can
largely determine the character of the
soil by the relative growth Of the
plants.
The partly analysed soil may yet be
of great use to the farmer who has to
buy commercial fertilizer, as he can
determine the kind of chemical fer
tilizer to use in the largest quantities.
But a systematic growing of certain
plants will give him a very full stock
of information as to the actual supply
Of plant food in his ground. This is
particularly the case with varieties of
the same plant. Take for instance the
strawberry. 1t is our experience that
some varieties do well on clay soil,
while others will simply do nothing on
,uch soils. The farmer that tries but |
,ne variety of plant on his ground |
annot know that he is getting the one
hat will give him the best results.

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
ACRICULTIJRISTS
Some Up-to- Date Hints About Gull
tivation of the Soil and Yields
Observation-Disclosures viticulture and
Horticulture.


Bulletin No. 43 of the Missouri Ex-
pertinent Station, by Prof. ]. C. Whit
ten, horticulturist, describes in detail
the best methods of growing aspara-
gus, which, briefly summarized, are as
follows:
This plant succeeds we'll in any rich
soil, loose and somewhat sandy soil
being preferred. The best varieties are
the Palmetto and Colossal. For the
best results the seed should be sown
in the greenhouse or hot-bed in Feb
ruary. When the plants are two or
three inches high put the best of them
in 21a inch pots. The selection OF
plants is of great Importance. Many
of them will have stems that are fiat
and twisted, or that send out branches
near the ground, are tough and woody
and should be discarded. Select only
such as are cylindrical. smooth. and
make at least two inches of growth
before putting out leaves These will
make crisp and tender plants. Re-
pot these young and tender plants ire
quently until about the first of May,
when they should be planted out OF
doors. In the absence of greenhouse
or hot-bed facilities for growing these
plants, it would be best to buy from
some first-class nursery good one-year-
old plants. For the asparagus bed the
soil should be pulverized thoroughly
to a good depth, and the plants set IL
to Is inches apart in straight rows
four feet apart Vary the depth OF
setting the plants in the ground from
four inches at one end Of the bed to
eight inches at the other; the shallow
set plants will come up earlier in the
spring, thus giving longer producing
season. Give clean cultivation during
the summer, and in the early winter
mulch heavily with old fine manure.
In early spring ridge up the rows by
turning the soil between the rows over
the sprouting plants. The sprouts COM
ing through this depth of soil will be
long, we'll bleached and tender. This
ridging also facilitates subsequent cul-
tiyation, as after the asparagus is cut
these ridges may be raked or lightly
narrowed to kill all weeds without in
juring the crowns below. No aspara-
gus should be cut until the plants are
two or three years old, but after they
have become thoroughly established,
cutting may continue daily for six or
eight weeks in the spring. Allow no
stems to make leaves until cutting
ceases about the first of June. After
that time the best cultivation should
be given until autumn. Under no cir
cumstances should the tops be cut af-
Ter harvesting ceases until they have
lied in the fall. This summer growth |
makes the plants strong and ready for |
The next springs crop. A bed treated |
n this way every year should produce |
we'll for forty years.

The Mushroom Season.


The mushroom season has opened
with a good supply of this delicious
vegetable. Years differ very greatly
in this respect. During the last five
years We have had three mushroom
seasons. They were 1894, 1896 and
1898. The years 1896 and 1897 were
on years, so to speak. The lack of
rains during the summer and early fail
made it impossible for the mycelium
to develop. At least this was the con-
dition in Northern Illinois, and we
presume the same was true over a
wide extent Of country. Good rains are
necessary some weeks before the fruit
of the mushroom appears, for the plant
itself is of slow development.
1t would be Of value to our readers
II they would educate themselves on
the wild mushrooms. At present
Agaricus Melleus is growing in large
quantities in the vicinity of Northern
Illinois and we doubt not throughout
the whole country. This mushroom is
described in a report of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture for 1891. 1t is a
honey colored mushroom Of great pro-
Efficacy. We will not try to describe
it, for we think it unsafe for our read
ers to attempt to gather this or any
other mushroom on word descriptions.
The government publishes colored
plates of the principal mushrooms
that are good for food. In this way
one could be about certain of the
variety he is gathering If any of our
readers wish to take up the subject
at this time, we would advise them to
send to Washington for reports on
mushrooms. We will add a word of
caution: Do not take any chances on
varieties that you do not know. and do
not trust any Of the rules that are
given for determining good and bad
mushrooms. Such rules are very dead
ly, as they fail at the very point where.
they are supposed to be Dtrong. Take
for instance the rule that saws npt

TERRAPEN ARE SCARCE

pcake Article Missing, But
Common Kinds Arc
Plentiful

Years ago the negro slaves of Delaware
and Maryland raised their voices in loud
complaint because their masters insisted
upon serving them diamond-back terra
pin twice week. They would rather
have pork they said.
To-day, according to the most prolni-
nent terrapin dealers, real terrapin-dia-
mond- -back--the "real thing" in other
words, is millionaire's dish, and a
dish which only millionaire can afford
to have served upon the table before
him.
The terrapin season in Delaware and
Maryland opened November 2, and the
birds so sought after by connoisseurs
will be scarcer than ever this season.
Real Chesapeake terrapin are very
scarce. Year by year they are dying out
in spite of the establishing of artificial
pounds, and the time must come when
the epicure must content himself with
something almost as good, if it does not
have the brand OF the genuine diamond
back.
81 doubt whether there is one man in
a thousand," said an expert yesterday,
"who can tell the difference between a
and something else, pro-
viding that the something else is cooked
and well. 1t is all bosh, this
telling the difference by taste between
various kinds of terrapin'. l can tell
them apart when they are alive, and l
cannot tell the difference when they are
cooked, If the same cook cooks them. 1t
is the same way with canvasback ducks.
Ducks from the South-you may not be-
ieve it, but it is true--are shipped to

Interesting developments'are promised

county, and court yesterday took a re-
cess until tomorrow morning. The prin-
cipal contest is between Dr. Burton and
Mr.. Maull for State Senator, and the
probabilities are that DR.. Burton will
win out, providing the vote in various
districts protested, and thrown out by

Present indications, in that county are
that such will be the case, and there is
no doubt that number Of minor Repub-
lican Offices will be gained if the count is
made. ..-..,., ..t,.. IL
All politicians, irrespective Of party
affiliations, have their eyes now turned
on that county, anl this is partly due to
the fact that the official vote OF the State
cannot be computed and completed be-
fore the Sussex county vote is in.
Another feature is the Importance at
tached to the State Senator fight already
mentioned, for the reason that the out
come of the fight will decide whether
the next State Senate shall be Demo-
cratic by one majority or Republican by
the same number.
The official vote OF New Castle and
Kent counties is completed, and both
showed large Republican gains. 1t now
rem aims with the latter party whether
or not the leople shall have proper legis-
lation, and upon this and the next two
