HOW TO GROW QUALITY
CELERY.
Transpinnting md NinnchirE.

A great deal of unnecessary labor is
often expended upon tho cultivation Of
celery, SO many gardeners failing to- real
ize that although proper care. OF course,
must be exercised as to soil. moisture.
cutting back plants. etc. satisfactory re.
suits are obtained without involving Toe
great y degree of expense or labor. IS
celery is a plant which needs a cool,
moist atmosphere in which 70 thrive. and
is considered more ralatable after cold
weather sets in, it is foolish to try and
grow it carly.
1t is always a transplanted as well as
a second" crop. and after the onions,
cabbages, peas, etc, are over by the end
of July. the ground should be ploughed
and narrowed and the soil left rich,
mellow, and thoroughly pulvcrizcd. The
rows for celery should be about three
feet apart ana the plants set from six
to nine inches from each other. After
planting. care must be taken TO have
Ne soil compact around each plant.
which helps to exclude tho hot air in
dry weather and leaves the |rootlots cool.
This is usually done by pressing the
earth firmly with the foot against each
separate plant.
CARE AND STORING.
Celery plants when set in the beds
should be dark green, strong, and stockv.
and some -four inches high. The beds
must he kept free from weeds by indus
trious use Of the hoe, and after six weeks
from the date of planting the blanching
process begins. There are several meth
DDS in vogue for this. namely. by blanch-
ing in pits or storage, by the use of

ery) or by "earthing up" around the
plants, which is the most usual way. or.
whore the soil is very rich indeed and
irrigation is practicable. as in some small
gardens, celery plants are grown so close
together that ali light is excluded, and
they hlauch themselves. this system he
int known as the new celery culture
The latter method has often proved
impractirable. however, and as the
"oarthing-up' way IS the simplest. we
describe it here. The earth about the
plant is drawn up closely around it with
a hoe and then more soil is pressed
against it with the hands. which keeps
the celery leaves in an upright position
with no chance of spreading, and only
the tops of the leaves showing. After this
the earth between the rows is dug and
bankcd up to the top Of each plant on
both sides, where it is left until ready
to bear in mind that there are three es-
~sentials necessary in storing celery: pro
lection against excessive dampness and
moisture; protection against freezing.
and Il strict guarding against too high

in the plant or start fungi. Celery car

the want Of experience or natural adapta.

trihutcd to the man himself than IN

requires a real liking for poultry and its
care. a critical eye to every detail, and
q painstaling disposition to attend Ia

H. nature with these necessities for sue
ro,s. the most COMMON cause of failure
J. want OF actual experience In raising
poultry. This lack of experience is the
foundation of many of the other causes
THAT contribute to losses. Through OK
pelicnce anyone not naturally adapted To
poultry raising can become successful and
thus overcome handicaps. Lack of OK
terience causes the greatest stumbling
blocks in the business, namely:
Selection of improper location.
Keeping poor stock.
Starting with the wrong breeds.
~t.quipping with poor and improper
equipment.
Toe expensive buildings.
Too large n plant.
Want of proper marketing methods.
Neglect of the details.
The person with experience. even If lin
tied. avoids these stumbling blocks. They
never trouble him to any apprcciahle eX-
tent because he knows in advance how

The right beginning is more than half
OF success in poultry raising. But the
man without experience gets such hard
pumps that he is unable to survive fnan-
'lalIN or else becomes DISCOURAGED and
gives up poultry raising before he has
given it a thorough trial.
The beginner in any kind of work is
usually optimistic because it is human
nature to see the sunny side IN the fu-
lure rather than to see the DISCOURAGE
ments offered. The INEXPERIENCED does
not know of the pitfalls that are to he
avoided but he can readily see the OPP
Iortnnlues for profit and pleasure be-
cause these appear on the surface. In
experience can he overcome largely by
roddlng books and papers on the subject
or poultry. by studying the poultry bust
ness as taught by schools and colleges,
and, finally, by actual experience or prac-
tce on a limited scale at first.

cold. chilly northern winds. and those
that are inaccessible to a good market
are among those that are not suitable for
raising poultry and should be avoided.
Often A beginner wants to start on toe
large a scale, a scale too large in pro-
portion to his experience: or he puts too
much Of his investment in buildings. The
beginner is too much inclined to have
his buildings look SNOWY and nice. Too
often he has some peculiar ideas about
the style and design of tho new cstah-
lishment. Practical experience would
show these are not best. All these pc-
culiarities and extras cost money. and
the interest on the investment cannot
he made over the running expenses. 1t
is well-established among poultrymen
that the housing of hens should run
from - cents to SIC PER hen. with 81
as a fair average. Anything over this
is a waste Of money, unless the object
of the investor is simply to make n
snowy display. not to he charged against
the business.
Improper equipment and too expensive
equipment result in some failures. All
equipment such as hovers. breeders and
incubators hould be simple hu. at the
same time substantial. While it does not
pay to buy the cheapest, vet the other
extreme is equally detrimental. Compli-
Gated equipment requires more attention,
and generally does not give as good re-
suits az simpler appliances.
Taking mp now methods and untried
fads causes some to fail in raising poul-
try. II Is far better to follow in the
beaten paths than to strike off on a new
road that is likely to have failure at the
end.
SELECT THE RIGHT BREED.
The selection Of poor foundation stock.
or a breed that is no, practical TO raise,
will seriously injure the chances for sue
cess. II eggs are the object, the poultry
man should select a breed that has a
known reputation for high production at
an economical cost, and this means a
breed that is popular among those sue
cessful in the business of producing eggs
for market. II the poultryman desires to
raise a few fowls for his own use. ne
could not do better than to take one of
the breeds known as the AL purpose"
breeds.
80 matter what his object in making
his selection, the breeder should he sure
that his foundation stock is adapted to
the purpose for which he wishes il. He
should buy of a reliable. established
breeder, one who knows how to breed
his flock up to the highest efficiency for
the purpose desired. BY selecting such
a breeder. the beginner has the mans
reputation to insure him strong, rugged
foundation stock, 1t is most important
that the foundation stock be in vigorous
health and not impaired. either through
close inbreeding, poor management. or
any other cause.
As the buyer must rely largely on the
representations Of the seller, he should
buy only from those who have a reputa-
tion to sustain.

Let nobody be disappointed, if upon the mere announcement of Carranza's recognition, everything in Mexico does not immediately return to normal conditions. Revolution in that unhap- py country in five years has destroyed much of what was accomplished in the previ bus generation. Neverthe- less, is it not indicative of the return of better times that the value of Car ranza paper money is constantly ris- ing? Late last week $10 in that cur rency would buy one American dollar To appreciate what this means one must understand that only a short time ago Carranza currency could be purchased at a few American cents per pound.
