Forest Tree Planting.

An Ohio farmer is solving the
problem of what TO do with the worn
out farm. He owns an old home
stead of sixty acres. which he is de-
slrous of keeping in the family. He
does not live on the place, however,
and farming has been a losing propo-
;ition. He has, therefore, decided to
plant the entire tract with trees. He
has already planted $4,000 Norway
spruce, set three and one-half feet
apart each way, on an area of about
eleven acres. These trees will be
cut, as they become large enough. for
Christmas trees.
Chestnut seedlings will be planted

the spruce, and it is expected that
they will begin to come in bearing

dition to the spruce, hardy catalpa.

Finishing Celery.

The most common method for
blanching celery on a small scale is
that of banking with soil. and it is
by this means that the finest flavor
ran be obtained. Where the plants
are set in single rows the soil can
often be partially thrown up by
means of pillow, or, better. by cell
cry hitler. There are several forms
of this implement. but they all work
on one principle. that of diagonally
set surface TO throw up the soil.
Instead of tying each plant by
Enotting around it short piece of
string, fasten the end of the string
around the first plant in row. then
pass to a second plant without cut
ting or breaking the string. While
the outside leaves of the second plant
are brought up together by the left
hand, carry the string once around
by allowing it to run between the
thumb and finger of the right hand.
and so on from plant to plant until
whole row is held up without break
ing the string and by tying it at the
ends only. Another very good meth
cd of holding up the celery while the
earth is placed around it is by tenn
porarily setting up boards which are
removed as soon as the soil is in DO
sition.
Where celery planted in solid beds
is banked with earth, the entire guam
tity of soil required must be thrown
up by hand. Under these conditions
banking with soil is not profitable ex-
cept on very limited scale. Owing to
the cost, .blanching by banking with
earth is not to be recommended. ex-
cept when the crop is to be stored
where grown for late fall marketing.
and even then it is better, especially
on muck or sandy SOIL to trench that
part of the crop which is to be held
tor short time.-W. R. Beattie, Blu
reau of Plant Industry. Washington,

No More Gold Lace For Afshans.

The Ameer has published an edict,
which applies to all parts of Afghan
istan, prohibiting the import into the
country of all kinds of gold lace, in
Guiding embroidered kullas lungis
and embroidered shoes. The Ameer
is evidently actuated by desire to
prevent his subjects from spending
their hard-earned money on snowy
dress. 1t is the poorer classes who
are VIGOROUSLY addicted to this ex-
travagance which His Majesty has
decided to check. The gold laced
coat of the Afghan is decidedly hand
some, and although the Ameer has
acted wisely in bringing into general
use clothing less costly, His Majes-
tvs orders will doubtless be received
by his subjects with rather mixed
feelings.-London Telegraph.

The Cow at Her Best.

1t is frequently asked when the
COW is at her best. OF course that
must depend on feeding and manage
ment. A recent bulletin of the Wis
consin Station says that a COW, for

sixth year. and that the length of
time the COW will maintain her maxi
mum products depends upon her con-
:. tuition, strength and the care with
which she is fed and managed. A
good dairy COW should not show any
marked falling off until after ten
years of age. Excellent records
have been made by cows older than
this. The quality of the milk pro-
duced by heifers is somewhat better
than that of older COWS, for a de-
crease has been noted of one-tenth
to two-tenths of one per cent. in the
average fat content for each year
until the cows have reached the full
age. This is caused by the increase
