LAND GRANT INDEXES.

The work of preparing new indexes
of all land commission wards, grants
and royal patents in the Land Office,
which has been going on for some
time, is now completed and is being
compared with the originals for verifi-
cation before being given to the
printer.
This is a work that has long been
needed, both because the old printed
indexes contained errors and because
they were not brought down to date.
The work has been done by E. K. Lii
likalani.

STORING CELERY.
Variety Of Ways in Which the Work
Nav Be Done


There are variety Of methods used
In storing celery. Where the celery
is grown for home use It is usually
either stored in the place where it
grew or in the cellar When il is
stored In the field where IL grew the
soil is banked up high around the
plants so that only a few OF the tips
are exposed. When the weather be
comes colder the ridge is covered with
straw or leaves which are held down
by boards or earth. When the ground
commences to freeze the entire ridge
is covered with several inches Of
strawy stable manure. The celery
may -emoyed from the ridge as de-
sired .Or use, but during a part Of the
winter II will be inaccessible.
A cool, well-yentiIated cellar is a
good place 10 store celery in small
amounts. suggests Wallace's Farmer.
The celery may be stored in boxes
whose sides cofe UP even with the
celery tops. In the bottoms of the
boxes is placed layer OF moist sand
or earth in which the celery roots are
bedded. Holes should be bored in the
sides and bottom OF the boxes for
ventilation and drainage. The plants
should be watered at the roots occa-
sionally when signs OF willing appear
Larger amounts Of celery are stored
In similar fashion by covering the Gel
lar floor with layer of moist sand or
earth and holding the celery in place
by means of boards. Market garden
ers have regular trenches or store
houses for their celery, but the meth
DDS herein described are the usual
ones practiced by the small grower

FALL MOVING.
Work That Can Well De Done When
Other Tasks Are Light

When work is not pressing il will
often pay Handsomely TO run the now
er over meadows, pastures and new
sown grass fields, leaving the clip
pings to lie on the ground during the
winter. Grass or clover sown with
wheat or oats and not cut for hay is
benefited by clipping like this. Many
weeds are cut down and made useful
to the grass as a mulch during the
winter season. II allowed TO mature
they would continue TO compete with
the grass until they had ripened seed
or were killed by frost.
Often IL is wise to take the grass
of the better portions OF field for
hay, leaving the clippings on the thin
parts, together with the weeds and
other refuse, as a protection for the
young grass, suggests Farm and
Home. II even pays sometimes to
rake the poorer part OF the cuttings
from the good land to the less fertile
spots. Continued clippings with a
mower will get rid of many weeds
briers and bushes easier and cheaper
than 1t can be done in any other way
For this reason. the moving of an old
pasture, especially If there are MANY
weeds on 1t, is nearly always a profit
able job. The weed clipped of while
still green is yet a weed, but IL will
decay and fertilize the soil, and Is moi
half so bad weed as il left to go 10
seed and become nuisance
