CELERY ON CITY LOT
Carpenter Makes Profitable Ex-

As Soon in Spring as Ground Could
Be Worked Part Of Flve.cent Pack
age Of Seed Was sowed--
Profits Were Big.
tBy R. B. oILLER. Indiana.o

am carpenter, not a gardener,
but ! wanted to make some extra
money and tackled celery. l have a
lot back of my house, 50x125 feet. and
1t was not particularly adapted for eel
cry, but read up on the subject OF
soil and learned that in order to raise
the best crops, growers give good
coat Of stable manure every second
year. From this concluded stable
manure contained the necessary fer
tilizing elements for the celery plant,
which might be raised on any good
ground, provided it was fortified well
in that way.
AS early in the spring as the ground
could be worked I sowed part of a
fiye-cent package of seed in one row
across the garden. and cultivated 1t
the same as my rows Of beets and
parsnips. When the plants were
about four inches high. prepared a
trench to set them in. The round was
first coated we'll with good stable ma
nure and then spaded UP as deep as
one could spade. After 1t was well
worked I made trench about one
foot deep and or inches wide at the
bottom. In this trench set two rows
of plants six inches apart and the
plants also six inches asunder in the
row in a zig-zag manner so that In a
trench 25 feet long / set just 100
! plants. All lived and all produced
fine, large stalks.
The plants being set out in the mid
die of the summer, needed very little
cultivation. They grew SO rank that
they kept the weeds down in the row,
| and only few weeds grew on the side
OF the trenches. These can be hoed
to advantage with an ordinary gar
den hoe, so I cut off the up corners

FOSTER MURDER IN SALOONS
Assassination of Presidents Done by
Men Under Influence Of Liquor
or by Saloonkeeper.

(By REV. FERDINAND G. IGLEHART.)
1t is a significant fact that the pres
idents of the United States who have
been assassinated have been shot
either by saloonkeeper or by man
under the influence of liquor. The rec
ord shows that the conspirators who
plotted against the life of Lincoln
made their headquarters in saloon,
and that Booth, who removed him, for
titled himself with liquors for the
deed. Guiteau did the same when he
shot Garfield. Czolgosz, who killed
Mckinley, was the son of a saloon
keeper and was raised in the danger
Gus atmosphere of vice and crime.
A New York City saloon bred and
nursed the man who shot Mr.. Roose-
welt. We need not go back to any
mental faint in his ancestry for his
moral depravity. He was for many
years teacher In New York's school
Of crime, saloonkeeper. He is the
natural result OF the business he fol-
lowed. He is the worst product of the
barbarism of cosmopolitan life. He Is
the kind of an agent the forces Of evil
would naturally select to shoot man
like Mr.. Roosevelt.

Banking Up Celery

of my garden hoe, making it an A
shaped. With this tool l could hoe
close under the leaves without doing
injury to the plants.
Setting in this way has at least
three advantages: First, it does not
need to be banked with earth since
the stalks grow tall without it; sec
ond the wind cannot whip the stalks
about and thus injure the leaves;
third fewer leaves Of equal size grow
on the stalks. In this trench the eel
cry was 80 inches tall and of very
nne quality.
Such trenches as made need not
be more than feet apart. On an acre
of ground one can grow 33 rows, 26
feet long with LOSS plants in a row.
or 34,848 plants per acre. AT 1 cent
each they would fetch S34S.4S. 1 have
sold few stalks to my neighbors at
21a cents stalk. At this rate an acre
would produce S871.20. But should /
receive only one-third the retail price,
there is profit in raising it here where
there is no celery land.

GRAIN RATION FOR FATTENlNG
Sour Milk Aids Digestion and Keeps
System From Getting Feverish-
Good Suggestions.

The Pennsylvania station suggests
the following grain rations for fat
tening poultry as having been used
with success:
Where a yellow flesh Is wanted a
ration should be made of cornmeal,
five parts; ground oats, hulls removed,
two parts; animal meal, one part,
mixed with sour milk. Where whit
er flesh is wanted the following rations
are recommended: Cornmeal, two
parts; ground buckwheat, two parts;
ground oats, two parts, mixed with
sour milk. Another: Barley meal,
two parts; middiings, two parts: buck,
wheat, two parts; .eornmeal. one part,
mixed with sour milk. Another? The
refuse from shredded wheat and sour
milk,
When birds are confined for fat
tening. sour milk aids digestion and
keeps the system from getting fever
ish. Ii no milk is available, some
form of animal or green food must be
supplied to make the best gains.

FOR GREATEST GOOD OF ALL
Cry fer Personal Liberty Must Be Met
by Awakening to Necessity of
Protective Laws.

Cant do as ] please with my
own?" cry the shouters for personal
liberty"
Let us see how far one can go. The
state sets up a standard of protec-
ton for the public against the indi-
yidual. If you offer milk for sale in
our cities 1t must be from tested cows,
kept in clean. well lighted tieups. and
MIXED into clean utensils. Surely no
man can do as he pleases with his
cows. The state owns the waters in
Cur lakes and streams, and says to
you, THAT trout brook emptying into
the lake is closed" and though you
own the land on both sides, and I'M
derneath, you cannot fish In that
stream. The state suspects you have
an animal afflicted with some con-
tagious disease, and officials come and
test, remove and destroy, and YOU are
powerless. The law forbids splitting
upon the sidewalk, erecting a building
to be used for any business which is
a detriment to public health or COM
fort
These are but hints at the restrain
ing influence OF law, made necessary
for the public good. and suggests the
truth OF the statement chat personal
liberty is alone to be found In living
under restraint. II this seems para
doxical, it Is nevertheless true. The
town or city holds that the rights OF
all are OF greater importance than
those OF any individual. The state
strengthens itself when it assumes
control, in all ways, for the best good
OF the greater number
The cry for personal liberty raised
by the champions of the saloon must
| be met by the awakening to the neces-
sity Of law and its protective power.
Property and life are not safe where
personal liberty lifts its distorted
form. If we yield today to the cry
for personal liberty we fetter the COM
! ing generation. The greatest incen-
tive in the. campaign for law and or
der should be the upturned faces OF
the boys and girls. Our highest duty
is to open the door for them to realize
the most that Is possible in future

pry Matter in the cornfie.d.

Prof J. H. Sheppard, dean of agri-
culture, North Dakota agricultural col
lege, says the amount of dry matter
in cornfield increases at almost a
regular rate from the time of tassel-
ing until ripe. In round numbers it
Is as follows: When in silk 1t has
twice as much dry matter as when IN
tassel, when in milk three times, when
glazed four times and when ripe five
times as much as when in tassel. The
digestible matter also increases as the
corn natures, SO that the increase in
dry matter is even less than the in
crease in digestible matter per acre.
With these facts In mind one cannot
be left in doubt as to the Importance
of allowing corn to become as near
ripe as possible before cut for fodder.
1t should not be left, however, after it
is ripe, for the leaves to be broken
on by the wind and the digestible mat
ter bleached out by rain and dews.
The common mistake, however, is for
the grower to cut it too early.

AIfa,fa works pesp.

Gasoline and oil help US to pillow
deep, but there are depths far beyond
their reach needed by the plant roots.
Just think OF the alfalfa. 1t works
for you all the time, day and night,
through a long growing season, and
the while pays a good rent for the
land.
Alfalfa burns no oil, needs no har-
ness, oats or driver; once started it
continues its work till you Dlow it up,
and gives you a field filled with nitro
gen and humus piped far deeper for
any other crop roots than you could
possibly accomplish with great cost.
These things are worth considering
before the alfalfa field is plowed UP
to make way for other crops which
call for lots OF work and expense.

METHOD OF KEEPING HORSES
Stable Accommodation Have Marked
Influence on Amount OF Food
Required for Animal.

The truth of the statement that the
method Of handling and the stable &C.
commodations have a marked infiu-
ence on the amount of food required
to keep horse In good condition has
been proven by Investigations made
in Columbus by the animal husbandry
students of the college OF agriculture,
Ohio state university.
These Investigations have been car.
ried on for several years, ever 1000
head OF horses being included. It was
found that the concerns with the poor
est accommodations for their horses,
and where the least care was given,
were paying out largest amount for
feed.
The average cost Of keeping horses
in Columbus is 401 cents a day, and
contrary to popular belief heavy ex.
press horses are fed for nearly two
and one-half cents less than light
driving horses. The lowest cost was
$500 per year in the case of an un'
derfed animal, and the highest cost
was $229.O2. a stallion being fitted for
show.
One noticeable fact was the alb
sence of variety in the ration, the prin-
ciple roughage being timothy hay the
year round. and it was common to
find this given in excess. Corn and
oats constituted the principal grains
fed In one instance saving OF
$11.15 per animal. or yearly saving
OF 1863, was brought about by the
use OF four pounds OF oat straw II
place OF a similar amount OF hay.

Roup and catarrh.

Catarrh is not roup. 1t is usually
caused by dampness; exposure to a
drenching rain is a good starter for
the disease. DR.. Sanborn says it is a
filth disease, and not. caused by '.tak-
ing cold" The difference between
roup and catarrh is that the latter
has a tendency to get well without
treatment, while the former seems in
clined to progress to fatal end.
