Celery is a good market crop, but there are many other crops which pay better In the famous Kalama- zoo district in Michigan, where the crop is grown exclusively on hundreds of acres by experts, 1t is stated that the average profit after rental of laid, growing and marketing expenses are all paid does not exceed $100 per acre. Occasionally we hear of phe- nomenal crops for single year, but as a rule celery Is only moderately profitable.
 It is a fine crop for every farmer to grow because it Is one of the most delicious vegetables produced. It Is not difficult to grow celery. It re- quires exceedingly rich land, some commercial fertilizer and great care in cultivation and bleaching.
 In the Kalamazoo district, where very fine celery Is grown, the soil is very black, rich spongy sort of loam. but good celery is grown on sandy land and on clay loam-
 The ground must, however, be put into thorough cultivation. and very uedNuJ mdHuHSu, III AdOI' ~ Ou6Ae eO be we'll fertilized for at least two years before being planted to celery.
 The land must be well drained, be- cause damp, soggy soil will not pro- duce sound, firm celery. This crop should usually follow some early crop like peas The seed should be sown in rows about four feet apart. After the ground has been thoroughly pre- pared and manured 1t should be left

WHEN GROWN ON LARGE SCALE
 CELERY IS FAIRLY PROFITABLE
Excellent Crop for Every Farmer Because Is One of Most Delicious Vegetables Raised Under Favorable Conditions Plants
 Grow With Great Rapidity.

Place the plants four in a row and pack a little damp soil around the roots. After the plants have been placed in the trench, place twelve inch board on each side of the plants and draw the tops slightly together. A board placed on top will make a covering which will protect the plants until cold weather, when, if in a cold climate, litter and earth must be thrown over the trench to prevent them from freezing. The slightest touch with frost will ruin them. If celery is to be marketed late in the winter 1t should be placed in a hotbed or in earth in the cellar, or in stor age house.
 The big celery growers follow the same method except that after the plants are placed in the trench with the boards on either side. earth is

long enough for the weeds to get a start, when it should be thoroughly manured and then planted.
 The rows should be about two inches wide and the seed should be scat tered over the entire width. then the soil should be frmed into the soil by passing a roller over 1t, after which the seed should be covered very light ly with a rake.
 To prepare the ground for celery, rows should be made about four feet apart, and light application of well routed stable manure and nitrate of potash placed in the furrows.
 The plants taken from the seed bed should be set about eight inches apart in the row and great care should be observed in placing the roots in their natural position without crushing and doubling them up. The soil then must be drawn firmly about the plants and all weeds must be kept down. Under good conditions celery plants grow very rapidly. Soon after the plants are well started, they should be given light application of nitrate of soda and another about two weeks later; this Is all they will need until they have reached the proper growth.
 Celery is bleached in several ways. but the best practice for the farm is to place the plants in trench about twelve inches deep and twelve inches wide. The plants are taken up with a spading fork, the roots trimmed of square and all faulty stalks should be removed from the outside of the bunch.

filled in on each side of the boards which are gradually withdrawn until the trench is nearly filled, leaving the tops above the surface. Then little straw is placed over the tops and held down by an occasional shovelful of earth and this is added to as the weather becomes colder.
 Some growers blanch their celery by placing over the plants a section of drain tile and covering up the top with a coarse cloth or litter.
 Blanching is really a very impor- tant part of producing good celery; because, unless the plants are white. firm and tender, they are not only unpalatable for the farmers family, but are of course unstable. Ex- cluding the light induces a solid growth in the heart of the plant and this growth is very rapid. It also turns a plant from green to pure white. Persons contemplating grow ing celery for the market should not attempt to do so until they have wis tied one of the large commercial eel cry gardens and learned from observa- ton exactly how the work of seeding, fl6nsplanting. cultivating and market ing Is done. But the farmer who sim. ply desires to grow enough celery for his family use. may if he follows in-

GIRLS SKIRT IN HIS POCKET
Unusual and Amusing Incident Hap
 pens to Young Man on Cincinnati r. Street Car.

Cincinnati, Ohio.--It was growing dark the other evening and the Au- burn avenue car was crowded with passengers. The car was of tho sum mer type, and seated about the fourth row was a nice-looking young man, who seemed absorbed in his newspa- per. From the heavy spectacles and close range of the paper 1t could cas- fly be deduced that the young man was very near-sighted.
 The car reached the top ot the hill, when something occurred which set the entire lot of passengers in an up roar. The near-sighted youth, hap pening to glance from his paper. espied upon the floor, near his feet. what he took to be his pocket hand kerchief. He casually reached down. seized the bit of white and, raising himself up, began earnestly stufing 1t into his pocket There was short scream from some one sitting next to the young man. and the next Instant she was on her feet.

Soap.

Were 8 soap-maker." said a girl in a red bathing suit, q should give away with every cake of soap soap dish like those at the Hotel Surf-a soap-dish that doesn't drain.
 ''The right kind of soap dish has a perforated plate on which the soap is laid This plate drains off the water into a bowl below, and the soap dries at once. But the Surf hotel soap dishes have no drain plates; in them your soap lies always in a little pool, and, when you go to use 1t, about a quarter inch of 1t comes of on your hands in the shape of slime.
 The world is full of these non draining soap dishes. I have tested them. I have proved by actual test that they waste 50 per cent. of the soap. Hence, were I a soap-maker, I'd give them away to my patrons.
 "The mustard maker, you know, grows rich out of the mustard people leave on the edge of their plates By supplying all his patrons with non draining soap dishes, the soap-maker would at once have to double his plant"

OLD TIME LIVE STOCK
HOW TT WAS CARED FOR IN THE
 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.
Ignorant Local Leeehes Cared for Sick CattIe-ExampIes of intelligence
 of the Pig.

Sir Walter Gilbey has brought to gether a number of interesting facts concerning the live stock of the farm. Bleeding, the stock remedy for equine ills of every kind, was practiced until comparatively recent times. The Els sex farmers used to bleed their ami mals regularly in spring and autumn as late as the year 1885, and in some districts 1t was continued until about 1850.
 But veterinary surgery did not em- brace the study of cattle and sheep diseases at all Treatment of sick cattle was referred to the local 'leech." who. to quote a wr1rer of the time, knows as much of the diseases of animals as the beast to attend which he is sent for"
 Arthur Young, writing in TITO, reck- oned the total of cattle in England at over 2,S0O,OO0, including 6S4,000 draught cattle. The fact that some A. S00,000 cattle are now owned in Eng land indicates the change in the cat tie breeding industry during hun dred years. There are no reliable fig ures Sir Walter says, to show what the horse population was at that time.
 Apart from coaching, every country gentleman drove or rode in the good old days. The farmer and commercial traveller travelled on horseback or drove a gig. Goods in out of the way parts of England were still carried on strings of pack horses. The importance of the latter as a means of transport Is shown by the old pack horse" bridges still remaining over the streams in various parts of England. They are wide enough to allow a laden horse to pass, but too narrow for carts.
 Some curious examples are supplied by Sir Walter Gilbey of the intelli- gence of the pig. One of the most remarkable examples Is furnished by the famous pig pointer" black SOW, which two kings keepers in the new forest trained in a fortnight to find game, point and back almost as well as a pointer The excellent scenting powers of the pig are, as is well known, utilized by French truf1e find CTS, who train young swine to find the trufies, buried as they are in few inches below the soil. They were used for this purpose in England also, Sir Walter states; Lord Braybrooke kept truf1e hunting pigs some fifty years ago.
 Geese have gone somewhat out of fashion in these days, but formerly they were held to be the most RxQft- able kind of poultry They were raised in vast numbers in the Lincolnshire fens. Pennant says that single per son would keep as many as thou sand old birds, each of which raising seven goslings the owner at the years end would find himself master of a flock of 5000 birds. In the great tracks of fenland, before they were drained, over a thousand persons made their living out of geese. The profit of goose keeping lay in the practice of plucking. The value of the goose feathers was estimated at about a shilling a head a year and three-pence more for the quills at that time in general demand for pehs.

Ann Rose looked at Dick Foster from innocent gray eyes. And is it as bad as all that?" she asked lightly when he had concluded his tale of love with a hint that life would be unbearable without her.
 "As bad as what'" he asked quick ly, resenting the half-hidden raillery in her voice.
 "That life will be empty without poor little me?"
 "Oh-thati Why, Miss Ann. you know we always add that-for good measure" There was a hurt look in her eyes as he arose from the bench and looked down at her.

Occupants of Smoking Car Nearly Fall Out of the Windows In Their Attempt to View the
 Weird Spectacle.

Nellie Large and Grace Dalton, both of this city. danced naughty dances and waved their hands merriIy on the bank of swimming pool Overhead. laundering along a culvert, was a Burlington passenger train, and from its many windows heads of men and women alike protruded. It was an en- tirely new and weird spectacle. They looked and were duly shocked.
 The conductor, noticing that only the back seams on the coats of all the passengers in the smoker were visible, nearly fell over with amazement when he, too, peeped. When his train ar rived at Kansas City he promptly no- tified Earl Dawson of the Harlem po- lice department, who lost no time in arresting the women. They were still in their chilly dishabiIle when the of ficer arrived at the pool and pro fessed not to understand the where fore of his action.
 They were given a hearing on a charge of disturbing the peace before M. Grouse, justice of the peace of Harlem. They pleaded not guilty" The justice fined them $25 and $11 costs each. Two men paid their fines.

On the square, the dance was a little classical thing we had been practicin at home and nothin' bad at all.
