Seed Stalks In Celery.

We have never seen nm explanation
Of this by the experts which was salts

by some check in the growth at an
early stage. We have had similar
trouble among bects and carrots which
were sown 30 early as to got hurt by
tho frost after they came up, while tho
same seed sown later gave satisfac-
tory crop. But more probable cause
in many cases is that IL was sown too

ly hardened when set in tho field to
go on and grow at once. When it be.
gan its second growth, like the carrots
and beets that had been put back by
tho frost, it's natural tendency was to
begin as biennial plant would that
had been wintered in the cellar, to
make it's seed crop. We have never
seen biennial plant making a seed
stalk the first year which we could not
account for satisfactorily, to ourselves
ut least, by some check or break in

How 10 Fatten Poultry.

thickened with corn meal. This is
seasoned with salt and pepper. A
noon feed of the same on alternate
days. The other days they receive
the same as at night, whole, bright
corn. Nothing musty, soured or solid
is allowed in their feed pans.
The pen is kept dark except when
the fowls are eating. This is accom-.
pllshed by hanging O thlck covering
over the windows. The pen is so dark
they move about but little between
meals. At feeding time the curtain is
lifted and they are fed all they will cal
but no more. Apan of sweet SKINNED
milk is kept before them, and the pen
floor is clean and supplied with fresh
bedding I discourage scratching and
growing all that is possible. A crow,
ing bird fattens slowly, if at all. Light
encourages growing. The corn is fed
in pans, or scattered, and the curtain
is dropped as soon as 1t is eaten. Cut

petites and should be given every thirt
day.

by far not in the same degree as with
the black currant. Jasquemin places
apple leaves in water containing from
fifteen percent of sugar; then he adds
yeast. During the process of fermen-
tation there is an odor Of apples, and
when the fermentation is finished and
the yeast has settled, straw yellow
liquid is obtained which possesses the
fine "bouquet" of the fruit of the re-
spective trees from which the leaves
were obtained. With vine leaves the
results are still more prolific. A
beverage tasting and smelling strongly
