familiar to the giver.

are seldom used. Sometimes the note

Place the plants four In a row and
pack little damp soil around the
roots. After the plants have been
placed in the trench. place a 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

thrown over the trench to prevent
them from freezing. The slightest

long enough for the weeds to get a
manfred 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 firmed into the soil by
passing a roller over 1t, after which
the seed should be covered very light
iy with rake.
To prepare the ground for celery,
rows should be made about four feet
apart. and light application of we'll
rotted stable manure and nitrate of
potash placed in the burrows.
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 shading fork the rOnta trimmed off
square and all faulty stalks should be
removed from the outside of the
bunch.

filed in on each side of the boards
which are gradually withdrawn until
the trench is nearly filed. leaving the
tops above the surface. Then a 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 coarse cloth or litter

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Keep the very good cows and the
best calves.
The horn fly is new pest and was
first noticed in this country about
1886
A few sheep will take care of them
selves, but the sheep industry Is a
science.
Kaffir corn fed to steers after soak
ing for twelve hours is less digestible
than when fed dry.
Millet makes an excellent fall feed
for cows, and when cured. good win
ter forage for all stock.
There must be balancing of the ra-
ton. 1t is as important with animal
kind as 1t Is with humans.
Sorghum makes a most excellent
winter pasture for live stock and it
can be planted after 1t is entirely too
late to plant corn.
Indigestion in young foals is often
caused by the youngsters eating litter.
such as straw. horse manure, and. in
fact. anything they can find.
Never give drugs to a horse any
more than you would to a baby unless
he is downright sick. Shutting of his
feed will cure all minor ILLS.
Do not change the work horses from
grain to grass too suddenly. In fact.
horses on heavy work every day
should have very little grass.
When the horses rub their tails 1t is
sometimes a sign Of worms. To effect
a remedy feed equal parts Of salt and
wood ashes every day for week.
II English farmers can afford to use
pure-bred draft horses that are worth
$500 for ordinary farming operations.
why cannot our farmers afford them
as well?
A really good horse is never of a
bad color, but some colors, such as
perfectly dappled grays, pure blacks
and blue roans, command better
prices than Others
1t is highly important that hogs
have mixed ration. and in feeding
balanced ration not only is profit
realized, but the hogs health and hap
piness are protected.
Pyre-bred draft horses are always in
big demand at good prices. Many
pure-bred stallion colts are sold at
$1,000 as three-year-olds. VIII pure
bred mares bring from 5000 to $500.
