The most eminent physician cannot prescribe better preparation for collie and idiarrhoea, both for children and adults. The uniform success of this remedy has shown it to be superior to all others.

Large Celery Crop.

The Sanford correspondent OF the
Times Union writes that paper as fol-
lows: sufficient progress has been
made in the marketing of the vegeta-
bic crop grown in this vicinity to en-
able those who are handling the same
to a large extent to estimate the vol
ume of the production, and also its
value. 1t is judged that about one
half Of the celery crop has gone to the
Northern markets; other crops OF less
Importance will continue to move un-
Ill the first day of June. Those who
have reason to know say that the en-
tire crop from first to last will amount
to over two hundred car loads, and
that the total value will reach quar-
ter Of million dollars, and this, too,
produced on less than one hundred
acres. This includes in many instan-
ces three crops per annum. Undoubt-
edly no similar results can he shown
from a like area from any portion OF
the United States. Mr.. Stenstrom, a
perfectly reliable gentleman, gives the
information that he cut and sold 1,4OO
crates of celery from one acre Of
ground. receiving therefor about
$4,000. r. ]. Miller estimates that he
will cut about two hundred crates of
celery from less than one-quarter Of
an acre, in fact, only little over one
eighth Of an acre, which he has sold
for 1920. Many other instances might
be mentioned Of these wonderful and
unparalleled crops, and remarkable
fact is, that is worthy Of note, that no
failures are known or have been re-
ported. The prospects are that at
least fifty per cent. more ground will
be opened up this coming season"

The idea Of ballng home grown hay
for convenience OF storage and in
hauling is a new one. But the ar
guments advanced, in the following
from the Inland Farmer, are I'M
anSwerable:
Having noticed that there seems to
be some controversy as to whether
or not it pays farmers to bale or have
baled their hay crop, l wish TO ask
leave to use the columns Of your val
liable paper to enumerate my expert.
ence, thinking that perhaps it might
be OF interest to others.
There is more hay raised through
out our community every year, not
only because it is one Of the surest
crops we have, and requires less la
Dor and attention than any other, but
because Of the usually good prices
ana ready demand, we have found it
to be a money maker.
But as more hay and more Of every
thing else is raised ana storage space
becomes more Of a problem, we must
devise some means Of Keeping our
products in the best marketable con
dition possible because grades are
becoming more defined each year.
ana the difference in price of each,
wider We can't ill our barns with
loose hay, because that would leave
us no room for our wheat. oats.
stalks. etc. We can't afford TO sell
our hay rs soon as it is in condition
to bale. because we can usually secure
more for it during the winter and
early spring. We can't afford to hold
hay i'm stacks until the market suits
us to sell because after it is once
thoroughly cured, hay exposed to the
weather depreciates rapidly in value.
This is the way we work it in our
community:
We raise annually a great deal
more hay than we could store in our
barns loose. We haul into the barns
what we can and stack the balance in
big, well topped stacks. As soon as
it is thoroughly cured, usually 4 to
q weeks after being put up, we bale
our stacks as well as that in the
barns, which afterward requires a
comparatively small storage space.
We are thus assured of having our
hay in the best possible condition and
in shape for the market whenever
prices suit us, and in addition we
have ample storage space for other
perishable crops, because our hay is
always baled before wheat, oats, etc,
are in shape to store.
We own our own press, one Of the
latest improved Ohio Hay Presses,
which has given excellent satisfaction,
because it does fast, clean work, Is
easy to operate and does not break
down. We run this with a gasoline
engine, and as three or four of the
neighbors always trade labor, it costs
us very little to have our hay baled.
This plan has worked admirably in
our community, and | trust that this
may benefit others.
