4 M CELERY FARM.

A Crop That Yields Good Returns
Near a City.
Miss Helen L. Bailey writes enter
tainingly of her experience in raising
celery for the early New York market:
My home is twenty miles up the
state and convenient to the railroad.
All told l have less than three acres of
land, and when started in to earn my
living there was a mortgage on the
place and less than 800 in my pocket.
Celery has paid the mortgage on my
home, has put money In the bank for
me and has enabled me to educate a
nephew and niece. My average crop
Of celery is $4,000 heads, and the aver
age price Is 20 cents a dozen. For

SHADE TREE PESTS.

The Despollers Of Some Of Our Fa-
vcrite Shade Trees.
The nests Of the fall webworm are
forming unsightly white blotches on
the rich green foliage Of our shade
trees. They are most frequently found
on the elm. hickory, ash, apple and
plum, but occur only less commonly
on many other sorts of deciduous trees.
The insect that constructs these webs

passes the winter as "a dark brown
helpless creature, entirely unlike either
the worm from which 1t came or the
moth into which it transforms. This
dark brown pupa, inclosed in q thin
cocoon Of silk intermlxed with hair, is
stored away in some crack or crevice,
under rubbish or even In the ground it.
self. In April or May the nearly Or
quite white moth emerges from the CO.
coon, flies into the trees and In some
cases deposits as many as 500 eggs.
These eggs are set close together on
II leaf, forming a single tier and COW
ering an irregular patch on the sur
face. The larvae, Matching, construct
a tiny web under which they feed. AS
they increase in size more and more
foliage is included in their web until
they may exceed three feet in diameter.
When the caterpillars become fully
grown they crawl down the trees and
seek out hiding places, as already
described, In which to transform and
lie during their helpless stage. From
the cocoons thus formed, in late July
or early August, the second brood of
moths energies and deposits its eggs on
the leaves for the second brood Of
worms" This brood on reaching ma
turity forms the coo In which it
passes the winter.
Ordinarily certain two and four
winged flies PARASITIC a sufficient per
cent of the caterpillars to prevent them
from seriously threatening the life Of
any well grown tree, but this para
sitism is rarely sufficient to prevent the
formation of some webs.
The property owner who values the
beauty of his shade trees cannot afford
depend on natural enemies, but must
resort to artificial measures. If the
nests are within reach, the simplest
method Is to wipe them out Of the
trees and crush their contents. If
they are beyond reach, they must be
destroyed in any one Of three ways
they may be burned out by means of
a long handled torch; they may be cut
away with pruning shears and their
contents crushed or burned; their oc-
cupants may be poisoned by thorough
ly spraying the foliage Immediately

the rate Of three pounds to fifty gal

stick to the foliage so we'll.

INELUCTABLE FATE.-Mr Savage said
that Germany was a hard country for
editors.
II know a German editor" he said
"he is an American editor now-who
found himself one night when the pa
per was about to go to press without
any editorials What was he to do? 1t
was too late to write any himself, too
late to have any written. Like flash
an inspiration came to him and, dip
ping his pen, he wrote hurriedly:
After carefully reading the editor
ials written for the mornings issue by
four of the ablest and most brilliant
members of our staff, we have come to
the conclusion that they might be mis-
interpreted by the authorities and re-
garded as an attack on the govern
ment. We ourselves consider them
perfectly innocent, but as we have no
desire to see our newspaper confiscated
we have very unwillingly, though as
we think prudently, resolved to with
hold the articles in question. This must
serve as an apology to our readers for
a blank editorial page
Imagine this editors shock when his
secretary telephoned him the next
morning that the paper had been con-
fiscated.
"'But-but on what ground?' the
editor gasped.
For malicious ridicule of the gov
ernment authorities by the omission of
the editorials. .'"-Washington Star

THE REDUCTIO AID INFISITUM.-The
late John Lambert. the Philadelphia
artist whose blindness, brought on by
the dazzling sunshine of a Spanish
summer. caused his death through
grief was portrait painter Of rare
talent.
Lambert" said a member of the
Philadelphia club the other day, was
a realist. His portraits were true and
unfattering. 1t annoyed him tre-
mendously to be asked to make an
ugly woman beautiful-it was the same
thing. he used to say, as being asked
to lie.
"A Spruce street matrOn sat to Lam"

ting she professed to be quite satisfied
with the progress of the work.
"'All but the mouth, she said.
Please make it small and curved. I
know it is a straight, long mouth, real

the portrait l want you. if you will, to
make it very tiny. Will YOU"
Certainly, madam said Lambert.
