Starting the Celery Plants.


The celery seed should be sown In
either shallow fiat boxes, pans or
flower pots having drainage and filed
with reasonably rich loan and placed
in either kitchen window or hotbed
in February or March. Sow the seed
rather thickly, and when the soil has
been made quite moist, sift light soil
or sand over, firm well, and cover light
ly with one thickness of paper or cloth
to exclude light and keep the soil moist.
The temperature should be moderate
Ten or twelve days after sowing, the
seeds begin to sprout, and care must be
exercised that the soil does not dry out,
nor be exposed to direct rays of the
sun, for in this way they are easily
destroyed The paper or cloth must be
gradually raised, that the young plants
may become accustomed to the light
and air.
When an inch or less in height, trans
plant into four-inch deep cigar or other
boxes or to a hotbed containing rather
rich earth, as upon their strong, sturdy
success Of the full-grown plants Set
about one-half or three-euarters inch
apart. Keep well watered, though not
too wet, and shade lightly If the wealth.
err is too bright for two or three DAYS
If growth becomes too rank, before time
for transplanting to the open ground,
the tops should be sheared nearly to
the heart leaves. In fact, this is
good policy to follow in transplanting
most plants where the roots are dis
turbed to any extent by being uprooted
from the nursery bed. 1t forms an
equilibrium between the tops and roots
which permits both to repair before
each can overload the other with
work.-Michigan Farmer.

Cnre in Selecting Eggs.

Much depends upon the selection Of
eggs for Matching. Eggs for Matching
should be of uniform shape and size
and thickness of shell. Rough-shelled,
dirty, mottled and eggs with thin shells
should be excluded. Eggs which are
over five days old should not be used.
Every egg when laid should be care
fully dated, to show when taken from
the nest in order to avoid error on this

Japanese millet is excellent for silage,
having a nearly solid stem, and thus
being better adapted to keeping than
many other fodder crops 1t will pro
duce twelve tons or more of green fod
der to the acre. The advantage over
corn is that it stands dry weather some
what better and may be sown later
than corn. Soy beans have the advan-
tage over either of these crops in con-
tanning protein, and when mixed with
corn make a balanced ensilage, thus
cutting down the grain bills. But with
the amount of land limited, it might be
better to plant all corn and buy the
grain, since no crop gives so great
bulk of cattle food for the labor ard
expense required as corn.

The following suggestion from Kan
sas writer on growing asparagus fr7m
seed is easy to follow on any farm:
Asparagus is a paying crop, and one
that is easily raised. The plants may
be grown from seed at very small
cost. Plant the seed in good garden
soil, keep we'll cultivated the first year
and transplant to a permanent bed the
second year. Make the soil very rich,
pulyerizing it thoroughly, and set the
plants two and one-half feet apart In
rows three feet apart. In the spring,
before the tender stalks shoot up, sprin-
kle the top of the ground along the
rows with common stock salt Keep
weeds down by cultivating on mulching
preferably the former, If the season
is not uncommonly dry. A bed located
ON a south slope will bring very early
asparagus, and this commands the best
price.

An asparagus patch makes an ideal
summer retreat for chicks. Every poul-
