MARSH CROPS ON UPLANDs.

Celery we all know is q plant that
likes humus-laden moist land, hence
people who have not tried, calmly
state as fact the cheerful fiction
that celery cannot be raised on a
market garden soil much above the
water level. Having raised the sweet
est and crispest in our back yard,
which has been titled for q century or
so as vegetable garden, we have no
hesitancy in planting various varie-
ties at No. 1 experiment station of
the Long Island Railroad, having
been assured it would not even grow,
but we took second prize at the coun-
ty fair with this celery. No sta
ton, according to tho U. S. Geologi-
cal Survey, is 112 feet above the sea
level, therefore it required very lit
tie nerve to plant a small patch Of
celery at station No. 2. Although
the soil is somewhat lighter, the alti-
tude is only sixty-four feet above sea
level. Humus is absolutely and en-
tirely lacking, caused mainly be the
annual forest fires due to cheerful
neglect OF precaution by neighbors
burning brush to the north OF us, in
that section of the island at present
given over mainly to cord wood in
dustry. A shallow ditch was dug,
humus was furnished by barnyard
manure, celery plants set out, and oc-
casionally, or to be more exact, semi-
occasionally, the irrigation sprayers
were turned on the celery plants, and,
as Is the ambition OF all plant life,
they grew and station No. turned
out celery that holds its own in COM
petition with that grown anywhere.
We shall continue to grow celery at
| stations No. l and 2, as it eats we'll,
sells we'll and makes an excellent va
riety for the now noted Long Island
home hampers.-H. B. Fullerton, in

New York;. G. Dun & Com
pany's weekly Review of Trade
says:
Little change appears In the COM
mercial situation, but progress Is In
the right direction In 50 far as any
difference can be discerned. Recent
gains are maintained In almost every
instance, and few further encourag-
ing symptoms appear, notably the
smaller decreases in railway earnings
and larger forces at work In leading
industries.
wholesale and jobbing houses pre-
pare for the future most conservatives
ly. Mercantile collections are irreg-
ular, some districts reporting fairly
prompt settlements, but at other
points payments are slow.
"On the whole the iron and steel
industry Is in IA better position than
It was week ago although new
contracts are placed with much eau
ton, and each order Is the object Of
extensive negotiations. Business that
appeared several weeks ago Is still
pending and buyers have been able
to secure small quantities of pig iron
at further reductions.
"Aside from moderate demand
for prompt shipments on novelties or
special construction, the primary mar
ket for cotton goods is dull staple
lines being almost wholly neglected.
Purchasers continue to await lower
quotations Variations in the raw
material have NO effect and the eS-
port demand has not improved. All
lines of woolens have been opened
without arousing much Interest or
giving any definite impression re-
garding the trend of the market. A
fair business in certain lines of wool
goods has encouraged more activity

success Of recent preceding years,

PLANTING OF TREES.

Fall is presumed to be the best
timo to set shade as well as fruit
trees, although there are some strong
advocates Of spring planting. In
either event it is certain mistake
to expect that trees demand no at
tention after planting If 1t is ex-
pected that the tree is to grow rapid
ly and produce either fruit or shade
in short time, it needs good cultiva-
tion as we'll as any other crop-dig-
ging around the trunk three or four
times a season, or il the trees are in
rows, shallow plowing and cultivat-
ing. 1t should be remembered that
trees make practically all their
growth before the middle of summer
and the constant stirring OF the sur
face soil in the spring, provides aer-
alton and affords the roots the use OF
much moisture which would other
wise aporate.-American Cultiva-
tor.

The Moth and the Flame.

The mysteries of the moth and the
Same are solved by Prof. Jacques
Loeb. The moth, like many other in
sects. flies to the flame for the same
reason that the sunflower and other
plants turn to the light Heliotropism
Is the awesome name in which this
tendency Of plants and animals re-
joices. 1t explains also the merry
antics of a June bug, as well as the
apparently aimless squirming of q
newborn vermin. Insects move in
the direction of the light rays that
fall upon them. Change the position
of the light and the insect changes
his position. Expose the insect to
q diffused light and 1t will move to-
ward the brightness with measured
pace and slow, but expose him to a
brilliant glare and he hastens with
cheerful alacrity. That is why wing
ed insects flutter gayly about in the
direct sunlight. Heliotropism actu-
ally aids an insect in its struggle for
existence.-Chicago Tribune.

General Demand

of the Well Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the ell-lnformed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale

CHERRY PROPAGATION.

Is It better to bud or to graft the
cherry? When is budding done? p.
]. All nurserymen bud their cher

the stocks are in thrifty growing
condition, usually in this latitude

Mazzard variety, 1t is generally nee
essary to do 1t earlier than IL OF the
Mahaleb variety, as the latter usu-

the weather will permit of outdoor
work, March, II convenient. Budding
