Celery as q Money-Maker.

Good celery is good salesman. 1t
not only speaks for itself, but for all
that goes with it. The gardener who
grows good celery has his products sold
in advance, his coming is awaited with
interest, and he will soon dispose of his
load at good prices" A correspondent
of The Orange Judd Farmer, quoted in
the foregoing, expresses other ideas as
follows:
Usually there is not nearly attention
enough paid to preparing celery for the
market. Bunching in the regulation
style is not desirable, as the punching
hides many defects. Better pack in
perfectly clean basket or box the roots
separately, after washing clean and re-
moving all leaves and stems not fit for
the table. In this condstion it should
sell for from 5 to 6 cents per root, al
though at cents it is good paying
CROP.
Celery is mostly grown as a second
crop, although not infrequently as a
third. AS a second crop it usually fol-
lows early cabbage, and the soil that is
congenial TO the one is to the other. -
The best soil for celery is heavy, deep,
sandy loan and the situation naturally
moist 1t is useless to attempt the grow
ing Of celery on dry, light soil, as it
will not endure drought In such
seasons the gardener must provide suffi-
cient moisture or lose his crop.
Good plants are the first requisites of
good celery. They must be strong, Wig
orous and perfectly healthy. Where
cabbage is the first crop the soil should
be So fficiently rich for celery without
additional manure, but should any be
considered necessary let it be thorough
ly rotted and put under the plants in.
stead of around them. Make the trenches
deep and put the manure at the bottom.
Fill the trenches with the soil thrown
out and set the plants on level. never
below the surface Exercise great care
in setting, so that the crowns of plants
are not covered, and to have the soil
pressed firmly about the roots.
For an early celery l prefer the half
dwarf sorts and should never plant self
blanchiug varieties, as the loss of color
indicates weakened vitality. To have
celery delicious and tender it is neces-
sary to earth it up no matter what the
variety may be. For late winters use
| prefer the best of the pink varieties,
both because of their rich, nutty flavor
and their excellent keeping qualities
If winter spinach is the first crop taken
of in the spring and this followed by
second early peas, celery can easily be
made third crop.

1t is heavy work pitching manure all
day, and is especially SO if it has to be
done into a high wagon box. A low
truck wagon with box not higher than
the wheels of an ordinary wagon will do
the work Of drawing manure much bet
ter than will the wagons used for mar
keting. Such wagon almost any
farmer can have cheaply made, if he
has old wheels whose hubs are good,
bat which cannot be made strong enough
to bear up when long spokes are used.
The low wagon can be used for years
after it is cut down for truck wagon.
1t will be all the better, however, if the
outer rim is made wider and is enclosed
in broad tire, so that the wheel will
not sink down when going over the
land.

There is great difference in the COW
raised and petted on the farm and one
bought from dealer that may have a
disposition to kick or resist the operation
of milking. No farmer or dairymau can
buy a COW equal to one raised on the
farm, unless he is familiar with the
characteristics of the purchased animal,
as it is always risk when an unknown
COW or horse is brought on the farm.
