BRANCHING CELERY.
Quick Method of Tying and Earth
ing Up Used by Market Gardeners.


The most common method of all for
blanching celery on a small scale is
that of banking with soil, and it 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
a pillow, or, better, by a celery hitler.
There are several forms of this ma
chine, but they all work on one prin-
ciple-that of a diagonally set surface
to throw up the soil. Before the plow
or banking machine is used a small
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 Irvine.
Instead of tying each plant by knot
ting around it a short piece of string
fasten the end of the string around
the first plant in a row, then pass to
the second plant without cutting OIL
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 it to run between the thumb and
finger of the right hand and so on
from plant to plant until a 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 in which the ball of cord is placed,
the inside end of the string being de-
livered through a hole in the bottom
of the can. Another very good method
of holding the celery up while the earth
is being placed around it is by tempo
rarily setting up boards, which are re-
| moved as soon as the soil is in posi-
| ton.

Notes From the Farm Journal.
A large barley acreage in North Da-
kota is reported.
Already feeders are looking for cat
tie to finish for next winters market.
This is in anticipation of an abundant
corn crop.
The new clip of wool seems to be in
brisk demand at slight advance. A
cheerful tone pervades the market.
So far as we can learn, the condition
of corn Is uneven, but is best in the
states of greatest production.
In shipping potatoes at this season
do not let them lie exposed to the sun
very long either in heaps or in boxes
or baskets.
Almost half the food consumed by
cattle at this season is wasted in fight
ing the pest of flies and other insects.

COLORS AND MATERIALS.

Blue Is Taking the Place of Brown
For Tailor ~Mades.
The iron gray friezes which have
been so popular all winter are giving
way to new, brighter and lighter
tweeds in snowflake designs. The
most fashionable are in light pepper
and salt, though grays and puppies are
always worn during this time of the
year.
The fancy for brown is giving way to
rough blue canvas = in fact, to can.

Buddinw and Ton GRATING.

Among northern nurserymen and
fruit growers budding is commonly
practiced in July and August. Or
chardists are taking up this system of
propagation and using it in place of or
in connection with top grating. II
the buds fail to live, the branches can
be grated the following spring. The
operation is more easily and quickly
done than grating.

No hay Is cut in these fenced fields.

An Ideal Animal of the Beef Type.

The first point observed in an ideal
animal of beef type is his form. This
will approximate the rectangular. 1t
will show body that is compact SYM
metrical, broad, deep and close to the
ground. Legs are only of use to carry
the animal around. He is straight in
his lines"-that is, the lines from the
top of the shoulder to the tail head
and from the brisket back to the purse
are as nearly parallel as possible, as
are also those from the center of the
shoulders to the center of the thighs,
no deviation from the horizontal being
allowed the top line. This will give
the form rectangular appearance.

THE IDYL or THE KING.

Hon. Wayne MacVeagh has writ
ten letter in which he expresses
disapproval OF the action of the Ad-
ministration in appointing special
embassies to attend royal and inn
perial ceremonies in Europe. THE
more ] reflect upon it, writes Mr..
MacVeagh, THE more it seems to
me that It is alike undignified and
undesirable in us, whose fathers
fought seven years to be rid ofkings
and crowns, to send persons to pay
homage to gentleman who calls
himself king and who is putting
on his head what he calls crown. .
Probably the majority OF the Ameri-
cans agree with Mr. MacVeagh that
II Is incongruous for a country which
has republican institutions 10 exaIt
royalty by participating in corona
ton ceremonies. Mr. MacVeagh
has the good taste, however, to state
his objections in terms which do not
reflect upon the good sense or the
integrity Of the people who prefer
monarchical institutions to repub-
Ito. II they are welded 10 the idol
Of royalty 1t is none OF our business.
When they attempt to extend royal
sway over a people who have a re
publican form Of government, our
indignation aud disapproval should
be expressed In no uncertain terms.
When Mr.. Reid, as Special Ambas-
sador Of the United States, appears
at the coronation Of King Ed ward he

American can contemplate with equ-
animity We are quite willing that
John Bull should be under thesway
Of kings AS long as be has weakness
for the pomp and show Of royalty.
But the forcible extension OF monar-
chical institutions TO the Dutch Re
publics is quite different. There

POPULAR AMUsEfETNs. 1t is re-
corded of the founder of an old Eng
lish home that, being great lover
of all wild creatures be had bear
pit digged in a convenient place on
his estate, where he and his guests
witnessed rare sport One need
only contrast this philantrophic gen
tleman with Sir Thomas Upton to
see how great a change has taken
place in the. character Of popular
amusements since the time of Eliza
beth. II Sir Thomas were to be in
vited by Queen Elizabeth to see a
bear batting it is not probable that
he would go; and yet the gentlemen
OF Elizabeth S court made this one OF
their favorite recreations. The
statement that great lover Of wild
animals showed his love by setting
bears to be worried by dogs shows
how naive and innocent was the way
in which people in those days look
ed at the matter
Nobody will claim that yacht-rac-
ing, golf, tennis, snow-shoeing and
riding are less manly and invigor
ating than the occupation Of watch
ing a bull-fght In the one case
the person taking the recreation,
exerts himself in every muscle, gets
thoroughly tired, trains his eye and
muscles in various directions, and
in some cases iucurs considerable
personable danger In the other
case he simply sits stilland watches
y butchery. The Anglo-Saxon first
made hunting a fashionable recrea-
ton because IL was necessary and
dangerous, and there seemed to be
a racial idea that the king and his
mobiles ought 70 earn the right to
their dignity by proving themselves
brave and skiliul in fight BY and
by, however, the tormenting Of
brutes was dropped out Of the list
Of English amusemcnts, and only
shooting and hunting were retained;
these more for the reason tibet they
afforded exercise and sport in them
selves than because they hurt the
animal concerned. In fact, the mod
crn sportsman $ ambition is to kill
his rabbits or pheasants clean
and leave no wounded creature 70

The fact that tho avoidance OF this
unnecessary danger enabled the
Brooklyn to prevent the escape OF

in this connection, though the fact
unavoidably appears in the further
discussion Of the battle.
The Presidentapproves the "unan-
imous" finding Of the court, with
a comment that it should have
specifically condemned the failure to
enforce an effective night blockade

President is one that even the hostile
