A PREVENTIVE OF SCRATCHES.
Keep your stable dry. Prevent tho
wind from blowing ON the horses legs
If wet when standing in stable Keep
the curry comb Off the horses legs be-
low the knee and hook joint. AS the
horses leg is nothing but skin and
bone, to speak Of, it is very easy to cut
the skin and lay the foundation for Il
case OF scratches. Use big corn cob
to rub or the dried mud and dirt. You
will be surprised how quick it is done
without the least danger Of cutting the
horses legs. Follow up with n good
brush, well applied. Scratches are
well named curry comb scratches" 1

A CELERY HARVEST.

Recording some impressions Of visit
to great Pennsylvania celery farm,
a Rural New Yorker writer says:
There are few buster places than this
celery farm in the height of the ship
ping season. When the celery is ready,
it must go. Two big horses haul a
machine which looks like a huge draw.

knife is hung so that it runs through
the banked up soil below the plants,

here moves like clockwork. The celery

GARDENING
EARLY PLANTS.

These suggestions from the OHIO
Farmer arc timely: For those who
have not the advantage of a dollhouse,
but wish to have plants earlier than
even a hotbed allows. starting them in
doors may, as rule, be resorted to
successfully. Such plants as tomato,
cabbage, lettuce and many others are
easily raised in boxes and may then
be transplanted TO the garden, when
danger of frost is past. For this pur-
pose use shallow boxes of any desired
size. For drainage place a layer Of
broken brick in the box; the bottom Of
the box should be perforated. Fill to
within half an inch of the top with a
light, sandy soil, moderately rich, After
planting the seed press the soil down
firmly, then moisten with warm water
and keep moist, not wet When the
plants are a few inches high IL is well
to transplant them to induce a stocky
growth, AS they grow larger liquid
manure may be applied to the soil, but
be careful that it does not get on to the
plants as it may injure them. BY the
time danger from frost is past the
plants should be large and strong. In
this way 1 have ripe tomatoes very
year by the Fourth Of July. while II
l depended upon PLANS grown for the
main crops l would have no tomatoes
before the first OF August. For my
early crop Of tomatoes l always receive
fancy prices and am amply rewarded
for my trouble, Sometimes l venture
my plants in the open too early and
they are killed by frost, but this does
not often happen.

Fnncy Boleros.

No accessory Of dress is more charm
ing or susceptible of greater variety
of treatment than is the bolero. These
very pretty and iaunty ones are made
of cloth with bands Of silk edged with
fancy braid MS finish, but are adapted
to lace, to silk, to brOcade, to the ma
terial Of the gown and the Oriental
embroideries that are so well liked,
The little one shown to the left is
II de in one piece and is entirely with
out seams, its short sleeves making
one with the jacket. The larger one,
shown to the right, is however, fitted
by means of shoulder and under arm
seams and includes sleeves that are
scanned to it at the arms-eyes, the seam
being concealed by the trimming,

this off by dashlng the roots in water,
With clean feet. the plants are thrown
into watts, where quick hands sponge
them and sort into three sizes. The
bunchers pack them in punches of ono
dozen roots and tie tightly with red rib
bon. Then the packer puts them in
crates, marking each crate with the
number of punches and the grade. so
that when the Gate reaches Philadel-
phia they are all ready for delivery.
AS quickly as possible the crates are
hustled into the iced car, and when the
train comes the car is whisked along on
its way to Philadelphia. Shipping is
done by fast freight, and a car started
in the afternoon reaches Philadelphia
the next morning.
The crates are nailed together in the
packing she'd The timber is bought
already cut and simply has TO be nailed
together, which is done rapidly by eX-
pert bands. One must see place OF
this sort in order to realize the skill
and energy required to dig, clean and
pack a car load Of celery. To get an
idea of what O car load means l may
state that on one Monday morning this
grower sent ono car load Of Ill cases,
The product Of one acre Of land. This
car load brought 1921 net cash! It was
OF fine quality, and the market hap
Dened to be bare.

GOOD TASTE IN WALL PAPERS

NOOD lADlE In W ALL L Al EMS
The rules Of good taste never change,
though they sometimes seem to do so.
The wall should be treated from the
dashboard up. If there is dado, it
should represent the darkest tone Of
all those employed for the wall; the
division above it should be several
shades lighter, the border, if any, still
lighter, and the ceiling Highest of all,
and for this reason, which always eS-
lists: the ceiling receives less light
than any other portion of the room,
and the border less than the wall be.
low it. The effort, therefore, must be
to counteact the darkness above by
supplying the missing light A darkly
papered ceiling should always be
avoided in any but Turkish or Indian
room. Cool yellows, deep creams,
golden tans, are the best ceiling tones,
as a rule though there are occasions
where a soft blue or rose-fushed
ceiling is to be adylsed.-Harper's
Bazaar

An audience that filled the concert hall of the conservatory to overflowing heard and applauded Adolf Dahm-P -Petersens s lecture on singing last night. The title of MT. Damn Petersen's talk was .tEnun- nique"
 The audience was enthusiastic in marked degree and at the close of the entertainment many persons pressed to the platform to shake hands with the musician and tell him how much they had enjoyed his lecture. Vocalists regard ed his remarks as especially educative and helpful to those who were trying to learn to sing.
 A short song programme which in- cluded numbers by Mrs D. G. Chandler and other we'll known singers was rem dered in connection with the lecture.
 After the regular exercise of the even ing were over MT. Dahm-Petersen pro- ceeded to organize the Musical Art socie- ty Between forty and fifty singers en- rolled their names. This society will work along the same lines as the Mus teal Art society of New York of which Frank Damrosch is director. It will study and sing choral works of high order and will give public performances rom time to time
 The women of the society will meet this afternoon at 8 D. m., for rehearsal and the male chorus will meet tomorrow night at o'clock. Judging from the interest taken at the start the society will grow to large proportions and will do much to advance musical culture.

MEN IDENTIFIED AS
 THE SAFE BLOWERS
J. T. MCLEAN AND BARNEY LEWIS ARRESTED AT HAMlLTON-ARE BROUGHT HERE AND lDENTl- FEED BY PICTURES.

The police department has succeeded in identifying J. T. McClean and Barney Lewis, two white men, who were arrest ed in Hamilton, Ala. on suspicion as be- ing safe blowers.
 The officers of Hamilton arrested the two men and came to Birmingham to see if the department here could tell who they were. Photographs of the prisoners were found in the rogue's gallery be- longing to the department and the po- lice ascertained that the two men were wanted by the postoffice authorities on a charge of blowing the safe in one or more postoffices.
 The officers at Hamilton will turn the two men over to the government in- spector in the next few days, the in- spector having also identified them. The Hamilton officers will probably get a handsome reward for the two men, as they were wanted badly by the postoffice officials

PLATT TAKES FLING
 AT SOUTHERN VOTE
MANY PROMINENT MEN ATTEND A "BUCkWHEAT BREAKFAST" GIVEN BY HIM AT HIS HOME IN OSWEGo.

Oswego, N. r., November 15.-Oswego never had seen so many men who are prominent in public life as were assem- bled here today in response to the in- vitation of Senator Platt to his buck wheat breakfast. Senator Depew, con gressmen, state senators and assembly, men, some accompanied by their wives were present at the home of Senator Platt in Oswego. Neither Governor Odell or Governor-elect Higgins attended, the latter being i'll.
 Senator Depew was one of the after breakfast speakers. In the course of felicitious address, he said that Senator Platt's twenty years of leadership will stand in political history as unequalled In it's absence of factional strife within the party, and the glorious victories of the party.
 Of the recent election, Senator Depew asked, what elected Roosevelt?" there is a revelation, he went on. Roosevelt elected Roosevelt. No personality in American public life ever stood out so dis tinct in individual character, in emphasis of traits peculiarly his own, and in out spoken condolences with the whole peo- pie like President Roosevelt.
 The qualities which his enemies carl catured or mathematical were the ones which endeared him to his countrymen He holds his commission freer from pledges and obligations, except to the people who elected him, than any of his predecessors.
 Now, my friends, upon the ruins of the disintegration of the democratic party will arise an organization built up by resourceful and able agitators, whose appeal will be to create discontent. It must be our task that there shall be minimum of discontent and a maximum of satisfaction"
 Senator Platt received a great ovation as he arose to speak, and 1t was several minutes before he could proceed. He said they were here to eat a platter of buck wheat cakes in honor of President Roose- welt. He said there was great virtue in buckwheat. President Roosevelt carried every state where there was a free pub lie expression of opinion and had even broken the solid south
