THE LAST TOUCHES TO
THE CROP OF CELERY


Banking celery with earth is the
only practical means of blanching it
on large scale, in localities where
lumber is too expensive. AS rule.
this method will give the best results
in home garden culture. At the north,
banking with earth is especially desir-
able for the handling of that portion
of the crop which cannot be marketed
before the first severe frosts. In case
of freeze. the boards offer but slight
protection, while the celery that has
the earth we'll drawn up to it's tops
will not be injured by temperature
three or four degrees below freezing,
If only for short period. Celery that
is banked with earth will invariably
possess better flavor than that
blanched in any other manner. Where
the plants are set in single rows the
soil can often be partially thrown up
by means of a pillow, or by a celery
hitler, as shown in the accompanying
cut.
There are several makes of celery
hitler, but they all work upon the
same principle of diagonally set sur
face to throw up the soil. Before the
plow or banking machine is used a
small amount of soil must be placed

MYSTERIOUS WOMEN OF EGYPT

enceS in Costume.

Religious Beliefs Make Many Differ.
enees in Costume.
Ihere are seemingly more types of
women in Cairo. all of them natives of
Egypt, than in any other city of like
population in the world. Their varie.
ty is due largely to the difference in
costume. which is regulated by relig-
ious beliefs. All the women of Mo.
hamn1edan faith wear wells. Some
wear queer little spools of brass or
gold. which are attached to the head
piece, and which hang down to cover
the nose. This signifies that the
wearers are married. Others wear
wells without either head-piece or nose
covering. The wells OF the Turkish
women are the handsomest, and they
are also the most coguettish, for &C.
sasionally they are thin enough to
show the outline of the features be-
meath. Nearly all of the aristocratic
male Egyptians of Cairo are married
to Turkish women, who are supposed
TO be superior to the natives in both
beauty and intelligence. The majority
Of Turkish girls OF wealthy families
are educated as are their European
sisters. and and many of them are tai.
ented in music and painting. This en-
lightenment which allows the daugh-
tiers to he educated applies only to
those families which have had the adj
vantages of English association. But
this class is very rarely seen by the
tourist unless he gets just a flash of
their yelled faces showing through the
closed windows of carriage in which
they enjoy their daily outing on the
fashionable Gazara drive of Cairo. It
is the middle class which, one will see
on the streets and in the bazars In the
native quarter. Occasionally the aris-
tocrat visits the jeweler but when she
does she is ushered into private re-.
ception room, and is so hedged in by
ceremony and servants that the Euro
pean customer in the same shop
cranes his neck in vain to get q
glimpse Of her.

inside end of the string being deliv.
cred through hole in the bottom Of
the can, from which it passes between
the thumb and finger and around the
plants. Paper Irvine will go to pieces
as soon as it becomes thoroughly
moistened, and offers no resistance to
the growth of the celery, but merely
holds the stalks together.
Another method for holding the Gel
cry in position for banking with earth
is by setting up boards along the row,
as for blanching with boards, then
after the earth has been thrown up
against the boards they are lifted out
and removed. Where celery planted
in solid beds is banked with earth, the
entire amount of soil required must
be shoveled in by hand, but the work
is greatly facilitated by tying the
plants or by setting boards temperate
ly between the rows and then remov-
ing them after the earth has been
thrown in.
Where it is desirable to hold por.
ton of the field crop of celery for late
autumn marketing. this may be ac-
complished by lifting the lunches,
with portion of their roots attached,
and placing them quite close together

around the base of the plants to hold
them in an upright and compact posi-
ton. This process is generally term
ed handling, and is greatly facilitated
by having the soil in the middles loos-
ened with harrow-tooth cultivator.
The plants may also be held togeth-
err for banking by tying them with
paper Irvine. Instead of tying each
plant by knotting around it a short
piece Of string, fasten the string
around the first plant in a row, then
pass to the second plant and around
it without cutting or breaking the
string; while the string is being car
ried around the plant with the right
hand, the outside leaves are brought
up together with the left hand and
held in place by the string, and so on
from plant to plant until the whole
row is held up, without breaking the
string and by tying it at the ends of
the row only.
Tying is greatly facilitated by strap
ping to the right forearm tin can in
which the ball of cord is placed, the

UTILITY OF THE
TRAP NEST
By Poultry Expert, Maine A9ri-
cultural College.

The trap nest in use at the Maine
Experiment Station is box-like struc.
ture, without front end or cover,
twenty-eight inches long, thirteen in.
ches wide and sixteen inches deep, in.
side measure.
A division board with circular
opening seven and one-half inches in
diameter is placed across the box,
twelve inches from the front end. The
rear section is the nest proper. Instead
of a close-made door at the entrance
a light frame of 1x1k-inch stuff is
covered with wire netting of one-inch
mesh. The door is ten inches wide
by ten inches high, and does not fill
the entire entrance, space of two in.
ches being left at the bottom and one
inch at the top, with a good margin
at each side to avoid friction. 1t is
hinged at the top and opens up in the
box. The hinges are placed on the
front Of the door rather than at the
center or rear. the better to secure
complete closing action. The trap con-
sists Of one piece of stiff wire about
three-sixteenths of an inch in diam
etel and twenty-five inches long. This
piece of wire is shaped SO that a
section of it, eleven inches long, rests
directly across the circular opening
in the division board and is held in
place by two clamps, one on either
side of the circular opening. The
clamps fit closely, and the slots are
long enough to allow the wire to work
up and down about three inches, with
out friction. The next section of wire
is eight inches long, and is bent so
that it is at right angles with the
eleven-inch section. 1t passes along
the side of the box eleven inches
above the floor, back toward the en-.
trance door, and is fastened strongly
to the wall by staples. but yet loosely
enough SO that the wire can roll east
ly. The remaining section of the wire,
which is three inches long, is bent to-
ward the center of the box; with an
upward inclination, so that it supports
the door when 1t is open and rests up
on 1t. The end Of the wire is turned
over smoothly, forming notch into
which the door may slip when opened.

Costly Walls of Panama.

When the Spaniards built the city

their Pacific commerce they nut
around it walls which they expected
to save them from raiders of all sorts
Although these walls were built by
natives forced to work almost for
nothing, they cost, says Mr. Forbes.

looked YEARLY and long one day out
Of the westerly windows of his palace.

those costly walls of Panama. They
ought to be visible even at this dis.

IL merely to admit his superiority as
