Mulchinq Celery.

1t is hoped that a large number OF
our readers will try growing celery by
mulching this year. Commercial
growers who use this system almost
invariably apply fresh horse manure
as the mulch, says the Baltimore
American. 1t is placed between the
rows Immediately after transplanting
and at the ratio of 40 or so tons per
acre. This means a covering of three
or four inches of manure. which will
conserve moisture better than fine
soil mulch.

YOUNG Goslinqs.

Goslings are easily affected by the
cold and damp. so it is best to wait
until the weather has become fairly
warm before they are brought out
Many goslings die from sunstroke
and they should always be provided
with plenty of shade and water.
If there is no stream near the
breeding farms set tubs in the ground
on a level with the surface and keep
them filled with clean water.
