CELERY AND HOW 1T is CULTE
Waited.

Celery is native of Europe but it
is now cultivated widely in our coun-
try. especially in Michigan, Ohio and
New York and also for winter use in
Florida and California
SO much celery is grown about Kali
amaze, Mich. that it is someties call
ed the celery city
The celery is raised there on the
rich lowlands about the town and sew
eral cropsare produced in one year.
The seed for the first crop is sown in
hotbeds before the snow has disap-
peared and the plants are set out five
or six weeks later, being banked up
from time to time to keep the sun off
the stalks and thus preserve the white
color
Some, of the celery land is so low
and wet that wooden plates about as
big as large geography book are
fastened to the shoes of the horses to
help them from sinking in. while plow-
ing the rows The horse soon leans to
shift his feet side ways. so that he
does not step on his wooden shoes.
Similar shoes are used on blowing
mules, on some Of our truck farms in
the lower part Of Florida.

they thought they would go back home
and get their ponies They had to go
so for they would get tired walking.
They had not gone far when one of
the twins saw two turkeys but they
got away. They rode about five or six
miles when they saw a flock of
wild turkeys.
Harry said he was going to tie his
pony to a tree and Jack did the same.
They crept up behind some bushes and
took good aim every time and started
home with six turkeys. They We're go
ing to sell five of them to a grocer
1t was dark when they got home and
they had to wait until they ate their
supper before they could sell the tur-
keys They got a dollar and half
apiece for them, which brought them
seven dollars with which they bought
their father and mother Christmas
present. Jack bought his mother a new
coat and a dozen handkerchiefs,
and Harry bought his father silk
handkerchief and u pair of fur mittens
and they had a fine Christmas.

A LINCOLN CONTEST.

Dear Juniors: Last week we saio
that we would announce a new con
test this week. Well, it will be q
Lincoln contest. Perhaps you all
know that Feb. - will be the 10otn
anniversary Of Abraham Lincoln
birth. The Grand Army men expect 10
celebrate this great day and we
thought it would be nice for the
Juniors to assist the old soldiers in
hunting up some Of the men VINO
voted for Lincoln and send the names
to the Junior together with q little his
tory of each veteran.
We Will give some splendid prizes
for this contest, such as Lincoln
souvenir spoons, Lincoln pictures,
etc. Next week we will tell you more
about the prizes.
We will also want the Juniors to
write a story about Lincoln and his
Family. However, we wilt tell you
more about this next week.
This contest opens at once. The
closing time will be announced later.
