LAND FOR CELERY.
The best lands with us for celery
growing are the timbered mucli lands
These are always full OF moisture
vegetable decompOsed matter and hu-
mus, making an ideal condition fOl
plant foliage development. This nat
ural condition of soil, when supple
mented by proper chemicals, gives q
snowy, highly favored and tender
plant.
These lands must be properly drain
ed, cleared and prepared. 1t may be
found necessary to ditch deeply in or
der to remove trees, stumpS, ETC., il
clearing. In such a state bitches must
be retilled with soil, gates put in OF
some other system of irrigation put ill
1t is utterly impossible to grow gOoG
celery in Florida without a good wa
ter supply. Rains with us in the win
ter are like angels visits, very rare
indeed. AS a general rule, your water
level should be within eighteen inches
of the surface. With this idea in minG
no great mistake need be made. If
your plat is so situated that you can
hold the water level at eighteen to
twenty inches, you are alright fol
moisture; if not, you had better put in
an irrigating plant, The best cOnd1-
tion, however, is system Of drainage
and subirrigatiOn in one. This is call
ed Coles system of subirrigation, and
is quite costly and not much practiced
on that account.
These muck lands must always be
cropped by some grass feeder, such as
field corn, Irish potatoes, pumpkins,
etc., before celery is attempted. Cow
peas are great soil cOrrectOrs and soil
builders, but are thought to be great
propagators also of insects and fungus
which attack the young plant and
sometimes work great disaster in the
seed beds. This, however, has not yet
been fully proven, but I think there Is
sufficient ground for the idea to make
us cautious in the use of the pea.
Propagation of the soil is much the
same as practiced north, only we do
not use much stable manure, but use
instead chemical mixtures of ammo
MIA, potash and phOsphOric acid. The
proportions of the individual ingredi-
ents are governed by soil conditions,
but it is always presumed that celery
requires much more ammonia than is
found available In any soil, so we give

Observation-Disclosures,
OUR PROHIBITORY LAW.

While the Dakotas were yet a
territory the southern part gave q
majority for constitutional pro-
hibition in 1885, but without
effect, since congress refused to
provide for the erection Of q state
government in any part Of Dakota.
The territorial Legislature passed a
local option and high license law
in 1887, but as a majority Of the
counties voted for local prohibi-
ton, it was seen there was strong
sentiment against license through
out the territory. On February,
%, 1889, congress passed an
enabling act providing for the adj
mission of North and South Da-
kota, Washington and Montana as
states, each Of the proposed states
being required to form a constitu-
ton, and on the first of October,
1889, to hold an election to ratify
it's, constitution and elect state
officers. This state and it's sister
state, South Dakota, have the
honor Of being the only states
which entered the Union with a
prohibitory article incorporated in
their constitution. In North Da-
kota the victory for prohibition
was a surprise to all. The pro-
hibitionists considering it impos-
sible to carry both Dakotas, and
South Dakota being more promis-
ing, they concentrated their efforts
there, Local efforts were made in
North Dakota by a few devoted
persons but no outside help Of any
Importance was received. The
surprising support Of prohibition
by the Scandinavian element was
large factor in the result, which
was majority Of 1863 for pro-
hibition Of 35, ,945 votes cast.
In North Dakota a constitu-
tional convention met July 4, 1889
and after formulating our present
constitution adjourned August II

writes Elisabeth Robinson Scovil
in the August Ladies' Home
Journal. "She must learn to
economize her strength and not
fritter it away in doing unneces-
sary things, which some one else
can do as we'll, that she may have
enough left for the important de-
mands that no one else can satisfy.
She must balance the claims of
charity, society and her own
household, and resolutely refuse
to be pushed beyond her powers
of endurance. It is hard to shut
ones ears to what seems call of
duty, but to the wife and mother
home is the first duty, the special
field given her to cultivate, and
her part may be only to train and
support the workers whose bust
ness and duty lie outside in the
world.'

A Good Rich Yarn.

Fred. j. Goodrich: Charlie Grow
and I took a drive over to Wash
ington Lake, in Eddy county, last
week, and coming to a large grove
of timber-about two acres-were
surprised to notice that the trees
in this particular spot were com
pletely bare of leaves and branches,
like so many telegraph poles. It
looked as though a fire had gone
through it. On either side of this
spot, everything looked "luxuri-
ant" and thinking it a strange
time of year for forest fires, I in
quired Of Sheriff Carol the cause
of it, and he told us it was hail
storm they had some time before,
every lump being as large as a
good-sized potato, and covering the
ground to the depth of two feet.
I seemed a little leary Erred is
"some' himselH and the sheriff re-
ferred us to his wife for confrma-
ton of the story. After getting a
''hand-out'' l enquired about the
hailstorm, and the good lady in
formed us that on July 9th a big
hailstorm did visit that locality
and on July 26th-only twenty
days after-being short of ice, she
went about two rods from the house
and gathered enough hail stones te
make two gallons of ice cream

In justice to Mr.. Goodrich i
may be stated that he is a Tital
in his "sport'' as in his earnestness
and he oversteps all bounds ant
riots with truth without law o
measure. He heaps Pelion upo1
