MARKETING CELERY.
Packs Of Different Growers-shippine
In the Rough.

Packs Of Different Growers-Shippinq
In the Rough.
The greater part of the celery pro- |
duced by the growers of Michigan.
Ohio and New York is shipped in car
load lots to the eastern cities. Some
growers follow the practice of wash |
Ing and boxing the entire crop. 9th
ers wash and tie the celery In punches
and set them in an upright position on
decks In refrigerator car. The Sc
lect punches are usually boxed and
placed in the middle of the car, filling
up the space between the doors. AS
quickly as the car is filed 1t Is re-iced
and rushed to Its destination by fast
freight. When celery Is shipped in
this manner all necessary arrange
ments must be completed beforehand,
as any delay along the line or in han.
ding it at it's destination may cause
serious loss.
Loading a Car.
Several of the larger growers follow
the plan of shipping in the rough; by
this method only about two-thirds as
many punches can be placed In a car,
but the expense of loading is greatly
reduced. The celery is lifted from the
field, few of the outer leaves pulled
off and the root trimmed roughly, after
which the plants are tied in punches
of twelve to fourteen each by meaus
OF common binder tWine. These bunch
es are loaded upon wagons and hur-
ried to the car before the celery has
had time to become wited The first
course Is set root end down on the
floor of the car and two decks are put
In above, which will fill the car to the
roof, and the space between the doors
is filled in the same manner A car
loaded by this method will hold about
$50 bunches and the celery is usually
In the car from three to ten days, dur
Ing which time the temperature is kept
down by means of ice.
More Practical Method.
A most practical method of shipping
In the rough Is in crates similar to
those used by California and Florida
shippers. The celery Is more easily
| handled in such crates than in loose
DuuCHeS anu is less llaDle TO become
broken and bruised
In all cases where the crop is shipped
in the rough it is necessary for the
| commission man or the grocer to pro-
vide means for washing and rebunch-
| ing the celery. By shipping in the
rough the salable portion is protected
| from bruising, and the punches look
fresher and cleaner when trimmed and
washed but few hours before being
offered for sale.-W. r. Beattie.

Wire Grass.


ANY one who has n few patches or
few acres of wire grass knows that
1t takes q good machine to cut it, and
1t is hard on any machine. Acres and
acres of wire grass used to grow along
the foot of the sand hills where I
lived in Nebraska 1t grew in punches
and not in continuous sod. This made
1T all the harder to cut. You could al
ways tell where dull sickle had been
used, as the punches We're then left
with thin fringe of fine grass all
around the rim. The wire grass that
grows in Kansas is in continuous
sod, but is very hard to cut when
the least bit damp, says farmer in
Iowa Homestead 1t takes a sharp sic
ke, tight machine and fast walk
ing team to get through 1t without a
chug.

slLAGE ELEVATORS.
Some Features Of Stat Carriers and
Blower Machines.

Blower Machines.
tors in general use. One is the old style
Stat, or rather carrier, and the other is
the blower. in which the cut corn is
forced up through a tube by means Of
current Of air. The chief objection
to the blower machine is that 1T takes
so much power to run it. While the
blower requires more power to oper-
ate than does the Stat carrier, very
few blowers require more than
twelve horsepower engine.
Professor Carrier, an investigator of
the cost of filing silos, notes the fact
that out of thirty-one farmers in Mich
igan and Wisconsin the FIVE who re-
ported the lowest cost per ton of put
ting up silage used the blower ma
chimes. Where the carrier elevators
were used it cost on an average So
cents per ton to fill the silo, while 1t
cost those who used the blower ele
vators 81 cents. A carrier unless
covered on top and fitted with a return
trough underneath is very untidy, espe
cially during windy weather. At one
place there was litter to the depth of
half foot about the silo that had
blown out of the carrier This trouble
is avoided by the use of the blower.
The blower pipe should stand as
nearly perpendicular az possible. In
one case called to Professor Carriers
attention blower at first proved I'M
satisfactory. The trouble lay in hav-
ing the cutter set too far from the silo,
with the pipe leaning at an angle of
thirty degrees from the perpendicular.
The pipe clogged frequently. and a
twelve horsepower engine was INSULT
cient to handle the cutter when it was
crowded to anything like its full ca
pacity. After changing the position of
the machine, putting 1t close to the
silo, the difference could be noticed at
once. There was no further trouble
from lack of power, and 1t was impos
sible to clog the pipe by overlooking
