STORAGE OF CELERY.

TimeIy Points From Professor Mum
son In Maine station Report.
If on we'll drained soil, celery plants
may be left in the rows till the last of
! November by having some litter at
hand to apply in case of hard freezing.
1t should be remembered, however. that
if the plants are well banked little
freezing of the tips of the leaves will do
no harm, and the mistake is often made
of applying winter protection too early
and thus injuring the crop by keeping
it too warm.
For winter storage the method in
vogue in some celery growing districts
is to make on we'll drained soil beds of
four to six double rows of plants with
wall of dirt between. Bank up OH the
outside till the tips CT the leaves just
show above the surface of the bed.
Leave the bed in this condition till hard
freezing begins, then throw two or three
inches of soil over the surface. Let this
soil freeze hard before applying litter,
and never apply heavy covering 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 in the winter storage of celery
is to keep cool. AS the severe weather
of winter approaches the covering of
litter may be increased unless there is
fall of snow.
To open the beds, take the litter off
from one end, break the crust of soil
with pickax and remove any desired
amount of the celery. Then carefully
replace the covering. This plan has the
merit of cheapness and for holding
plants through the winter is preferable
to storage in pit or cellar.
If the crop is to be disposed of as
early as january, it 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, conse-
quent on packing large quantities of the
plants together, compartments 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 exclude the air. it is
unnecessary to use earth between them.
When plants are stored in this way, it
is important that the temperature OF the
pit or cellar be kept as near the freezing
point as possible. If, however, it is de-
sired to hasten the process of blanching,
the temperature may be raised. The soil
in which the plants are placed should
be moist to prevent whiting, but the
foliage should always be kept dry or
there will be trouble from rotting.

second and third crosses will show the
wisdom of your choice much better
than the first cross. Don't buy Guern-
eey and then Holstein and then Jer-
sey and then something else, because
you will not have anything when you
get through. This disposition to shift
around, together with another prevalent
disposition, accounts for the mongrel
character and appearance of the cattle
in great many sections of the eoun-
try.
We will say, now that you have
bought your bull and have your first
crop of heifer calves, give them good
care. do not mean to fatten them as
for veal, but feed them enough bran,
oats, barley, to keep them growing
throughout the first year. When they
are about Is months old, look them
over, and all that have not good consti-
stutions should be disposed of /; the others
should be served by their own sire. This
is inbreeding, but it will intensity your
blood and your inbred three-quarter
bloods will be as strong in the breed
characteristics as ordinary seven-eighths
bloods. They will also be richer in but
ter fats than if not inbred.
Where the Bacteria Come From.
We might ask where they do not come
from and have very small list of
places for an answer. They come from
everywhere where there is dust Moth
ing escapes them, everything is infected
with them. Fortunately by far the
greater per cent of them are harmless,
and we forget that they are always pres
emit with us. 1t is only when the dairy
man finds his milk off that he begins to
inquire as to their birthplace and
habitat. Perhaps the most prolific place
around the farm is the cowhouse and
its surroundings. The decomposing ma
nure and urine form a nest in which
bacteria multiply by millions. The silo
adds it's portion. The holes and corners,
in which damp food is left to sour, hold
other legions, and in fact every place
where organic matter and water come
together is source of germs that come
forth to give the dairyman trouble.
There are many places where bacteria

be sure that the milk pail is not among
the number. No germs belong there.
The corners should not hold bacteria
nor the cracks bacilli. See that the sides
are not contaminated with micrococci,
nor the bottom with diplococci. Keep
them in the manure and the silo, where
they belong There they are at home,
but in the milk pail they can only cause
more kinds of trouble than is necessary,
and the life of dairyman is not SO full
of gayety that he can afford to decrease
it in the least by want of attention to
those small bodies which are at once his
bane and his necessity. Hoard IS Dairy

Pieasures on the Farm.

Pleasures on the Farm
Oh, it's royal fun to frolic
On the fragrant, new-moWn navy
To roll and romp and tumble,
And to while the time away;
What a joy to lie and slumber,
Innocent of worldly care,
On the clover in the haymoW,
When some others put it there.
What joy, when one is thirsty,
Ere as yet tbs time to sup,
To consume the sweet ambrosla
That the COWS have yielded up
To drink out of the milkpail,
While you poise it in the air
When some other has extracted
The rich fluid that is there.
What a joy it is, in summer,
To be free upon the farm;
All, the very air seems freighted
With a mystic sort of charm;
Round and over all dreamy,
Peaceful spirit seems to Turk
That is, if you do the dreaming,
While some others do the work.

New Disciplinary Departure In the
Wisconsin Penitentiary.

Waupun, Wis, Jan. 12.--The plan
of John J. Roberts, warden OF the
state prison located here, to grade the
convicts has been approved In part by
the state board of control and the sys-
ten will be put In effect as soon rs pos
sible. The warden has been instruct
ed To purchase 600 yards Of striped
material for second grade mems suits
and 200 yards OF red for the third
grade. The warden's recommendations
regarding discipline have not yet been
adopted by the board, but It is be-
lieved they Will be. Warden Roberts
proposes to have three grades nrst,
second and third. In explaining the
System the warden says: Il would

All OF those graded second at this time,
whose condition Is without fault for
six months would advance to first at
the end OF that period. All who from
the nature and frequency Of their Of

apparent that To degrade would have
a salutary effect on the offender and
the inmates in general. A man In the
third grade will remain there until
he gives evidence OF good reformation.
In no instance will an advance from
third grade be made inside OF three
months from degradation, and an adj
vance from second grade will not be
made sooner than six months from
entry TO that grade. Extraordinary
will occasion deviation
from these limits quite often. antici-

FOOTBALL CHANGES.
A Meeting of Big Universities to Dis
cuss the Subject

New York. Jan. L.. ~Commmica-
items will be sent ont this week to
football associations OF the big uni
verSitics, asking them TO send repre-
sontatives to conference at which
further revision of playing rules will
be discussed, The football meeting Is
to be held in this city at the University
Athletic club. G. G.. Cuyler, banker,
and one of Princeton's athletic advis-
crs, says that two dates will be
submitted for II meeting, the colleges
to agree on one of them. II Is highly
probable that the football associations
will name the same men who com
prised the committee on revising rules.
These are Joseph Sears, Harvard;
Walter Camp, Yale; Alexander Moi
fit, Princeton; John C., Bell, uniycr-
slty of Pennsylvania; Prof. Dennis.
Cornell; Paul ID. Ashiel United States
naval academy, Annapolis Just what
changes are likely to be made in the
playing rules, it is too early to say;
and doubtless there will he some
weighty discussions on the subject nj
the various universities. However,
there Is a disposition on the part o.
those who have the hest interests OF
football at heart to do away with all
back line formations, involving for
wards-that is, require forwards to
remain in line until the ball has been
put in play, This, 1t is thought, would
benefit the game and prove more en-
joyable to the spectators.
