AGRICULTURAL.
IN THE GAROEN0.

Timely and Practical Hints For the
Vegetable Growers.
Celery.-Sow is the time to apply
fertilizer ON each side Of the rows and
draw an inch or SO OF earth over IL
with the hoe. This applies to early
and late paintings. II celery is wanted
for exhibiting Ia the early part OF Sep
along IL can possibly get.
Endive will require plenty OF atten-
tion In transplanting and watering.
Lettuce will need close attention too.
Seed can yet be sown in the open In
this section. although We are getting
close to our time limit. Sow u little
of forcing kinds i'm frames or outside
and transplant to frames. Such kinds
as Belmont Forcing and Glasshouse
answer well.
Parsley.-where an early supply In
spring is required seed should be sown
now I'm frames and wintered over.
Tomatoes.-Give prompt attention to
them now I'm thinning out growth and
tying I'm. Some OF the large lower
leaves may be removed to let I'm light
and sun.
Onions.-where they are ripe and at
for pulling no time should be lost.
notice II left In the ground but a short
time after they are ripe and a shower
comes they quickly make new root
again. which is evidently detrimental
to their keeping qualities. When once
pulled. keep as dry as possible and
thoroughly ripen them II required for
late keeping.
Seed of Tripoli varieties, such as
Giant Rocea. can be sown In frames
now and wintered over II large bulbs
are wanted for special purposes next
season.
Turnips.-It is now about the last
call In many sections for the last SOW
ing of white turnips.
Spinach.-A sowing Of the broad
leaved kinds may be made now for
fall USE. p. Meredith. Massachu-

BLANCHING CELERY.

Quick Method of Tying and Earth
ing Up Used by Market GardensFs.
The most common method OF all for
that of banking with soil. and 1t Is by
this method that the finest flavor can
be obtained. Where the plants are
set In single rows the soil can often
be partially thrown up by means Of
plow. or. better. by a celery hiiler.
There are several forms Of this ma
chine. but they all work on one prin-
ciple-that OF a diagonslly set surface
to throw up the soil Before the plow
amount of dirt must be placed around
the plants by hand to hold them up In
position while the earth Is being
thrown around them. This may also
be accomplished by tying up the plants
with paper twine.
Instead OF tying each plant by knot
ting around II a short piece Of string
fasten the end of the string around
the first plant I'm a row, then pass to
the second plant without cutting or
breaking the string. While the out
side leaves of the second plant are
brought up together by the left hand
carry the string once around by allow
ing II to run between the thumb and
finger of the right hand and SO on
from plant to plant until whole row
is held up without breaking the string
and by tying It at the ends only
This work is greatly facilitated by
strapping to the right forearm a tin
can I'm which the ball Of cord Is placed,
the inside end of the string being de-
livered through a hole i'm the bottom
Of the can. Another very good method
of holding the celery up while the earth
is being placed around 1t is by tempo
rarily setting up boards, which are re-
moved as soon as the soil 10 In posi-

DEATH REVEALS
STORY OF THIEF
Mysterious Theft of a Famous
Painting is Explained.
He OWNED A STEAM YACHT
CRIMINAL WHO TOOK IT WAS
NOTORIOUS.

Chicago, Feb. adam Worth, alias
Henry J. Raymond, known as the
Napoleon Of Crime" is dead in Lon
don, and with the announcement Of his
death today all the story of the recovery
of the celebrated GainsboTough picture
was made public in Chicago. When the
famous picture was restored 10 its
owner in Chicago last April there were
many surmises as TO the medium of it's
return William A. PinkertOn, who
made the formal announcement of the
recovery of the painting, refused to
confirm or deny any of the stories. Now
that Worth is dead Mr.. Pinkerton can
speak. Worth gave him written per-
mission TO reveal the Gainsborough Sc
cret after he had died.
Wrapped in oilclOth the canvas was
handed over to c. Moreland Agnew
one morning last April in~Chicago by
Worth, who twenty-five years before
had cut the painting from its frame in
the Agnew galleries in London.
The return of the painting took place
in Mr.. Pinkerton's private office. The
owner OF the picture hurried back to
London for fear the United States au-
thOrities would demand a custom duty
on the work which had been secreted
in this country for fifteen years. 1t
was while in London that Worth con-
ceived the idea of carrying off the
Gainsborough picture.
His first plan was to rob the royal
academy of its art treasures. Then he
changed his mind and directed his at
tentiOns TO the Gainsborough painting.
Assisted by his partner, he climbed into
the Agnew galleries one night. cut the
painting from its canvas and carried it
away.
Worth owned a steam yacht and the
canvas was taken abroad and con-
cealed there until he sold the vessel
to Lord LonSdale. Then he took the
picture 10 Paris and finally brought
it to America, where it was concealed
for fifteen years. In the meantime
Worth was arrested in Brussels ana
forced to serve seven years.
Mr.. Pinkerton has known Worth for
thirty years. Two years ago Mr.. Pink
erton received a telegram telling him
that an important letter was at his
home. The letter was from Worth who
asked an interview. This was granted.
and Worth said he was going to die
and wanted to turn up" the Gains
borough picture in order that his two
children, who had been educated in
convent. might enjov the proceeds.
Through a hitch the picture was not
recovered at that time. Worth re-
turned to London and early last spring
restored the painting.
