CELERY FOR USE IN WINTER
Cool Weather With Plenty of Mois-
ture Is Most Desirable-Rich Soil
Is of Much Importance.
(By ANNA GALIGHER.)

AS a rule, late celery grows better
than early because the weather usual.
ly begins to get cool by the time the
plants have got start and cool
weather with plenty of moisture is
what it takes to make good celery.
Rich soil is also an important fac
tor, but most important of all is good
plants. Unless strong, stalky, well
rooted plants are used there will be
little chance for crop.
We usually put the late celery in as
a second crop, where potatoes or some
early vegetables have been grown. In
the North late July or early August
time for setting out the plants. In
the South it should be done a month
earlier.
The ground is worked up deep and
fine, then double rows are made six or
eight feet apart to allow plenty OF
room for banking up.
Each two rows are placed about ten
inches apart and the plants are set
about eight inches apart in the row.
Shade the plants for the first few
days, if the sun is warm, but don't
shut out the air, or the plants will die.
If the ground is not very rich, spread
manure from the poultry house along
the rows, little distance from the
plants, and pour water on the ma
nure.
This keeps the ground moist and al
so furnishes nourishment for the
plants.
After they have made some growth,
begin to hoe up little of the earth
around the plants every few days
This makes them grow faster But be
careful not to pack it too close Give
the plants room to grow.

recognize them as friends. Thus many
of these helpful little insects are de.
stroyed, when they should be carefully
protected.
One of the most conspicuous eX-
amples in history OF controlling pest
by means of lady-beetles occurred in
California some twenty-five years ago,
An Australian insect known as the
fiuted or cottony cushion scale APP
peared in California on orange trees
and spread so rapidly over the state
that the extensive Orange growing in
dustry was threatened. BY request,
Mr. Albert Koebele was appointed
agent of the United States to attend
the Melbourne exposition, and while
in Australia paid special attention to
searching for the insect enemies OF
the fluted scale. A lady beetle was
found feeding upon the scale and
specimens were collected. and five
separate lots altogether about 500
specimens) were brought from Aus
tralia to California and placed upon
the scale-infested trees. The lady
beetles multiplied and their progeny
were soon transported to each orange
growing section. In few years the
cottony cushion scale had been
brought under complete control by the
Australian lady-beetle: 1t has never
since done much damage on the Pa
cific coast, and the orange industry
still fourishes.
In less striking manner and on a
smaller scale our native lady-beetles
are continually demonstrating their
ability to clean up shrubs, trees and
even orchards which were severely at
tackled by plant lice. There are about
$50 different kinds of lady-beetles In
this country

For various reasons it is sometimes
desirable to change the top of peach
tree from one variety to another. A
grower may find after his orchard be-
gins to bear that he has larger num-
Der of trees of some variety than he
wants; block of trees may prove TO
be some other variety than the one
ordered or, for some other reason, a
variety is not well adapted to the
needs of the owner. In such cases he
has recourse to top-working the tree
either by budding or grating to de-
sirable variety.
The ordinary method of shield bud
ding is the one more commonly used
for this purpose. If the tree to be
top-Worked is not more than two or
three years old it is usually prac-
ticable to insert the buds directly into
the main limbs we'll down toward the
point where they leave the trunk. The
Illustration shows a Triumph peach
tree that was budded to the Carman
variety when it was three years old,
after its crop of fruit had been re-
moved. The points where the buds
were inserted may be seen by refer
ence to the figure.
If the tree to be top-budded has
reached the age when the bark on
the main limbs has become too thick
and firm to be manipulated readily for
budding, it is necessary to head it

back somewhat, as when the top Is
to be replaced with new growth of the
same variety, and then insert the buds
on the new branches that develop
after the tree has been deheaded.
When this course is followed the buds
should be inserted in the new growth
as near the trunk as is practicable, in
order to have as large a portion OF
the top as possible of the new variety
This is also desirable on account OF
the subsequent management of the
tree.
.Top-working is sometimes done by
grating instead Of budding. The or
binary cleft graft is generally used in
such cases. However budding is to
be preferred, especially as the wounds
made in grating do not heal readily
in the case of the peach, though when
properly done the union of stock and
scion is generally strong enough to
make a fairly serviceable tree. But
troubles incident to the difficulties in
the healing of the wounds are likely
to occur.

WHITEWASH FOR THE TREES
Excellent Protection Afforded to Bark
From Sunburn and Borers-
'. Keeps Rabbits Away.

Whitewash is an excellent protec.
ton to the bark from both sunburn
and borers. 1t is particularly valu-
able for young trees, as after trees
reach a good size the branches gen
orally become sufficiently large and
the foliage sufficiently thick to shade
the bark and prevent the injury that
the hot sun would otherwise do.
The best time to apply the white
wash is in the early spring, or before
the sun has become too hot and yet at
time when the danger of heavy rains
washing off the lime is passed. 1t is
not we'll to delay too long or the sun
burn may occur in clear weather be-
tween rains.
There are dozens of whitewash reel
pes, all with merit, some more dur
able than others, and durable white
wash is generally to be desired. For
fruit trees a whitewash can be made
by the addition of tallow, which is
durable and also protection against
rabbits. Such a wash can be made
with 80 pounds Of lime, pounds Of
tallow and pounds of salt. The salt
is dissolved in the water used in
shaking the lime and the tallow added
to the hot mixture, which is thinned
to the desired consistency before using.
Spoiled fat or grease of any. kind
can be substituted for the tallow and
he ho do
sired. If there is danger of attract
ing animals by the salt, it can be left

WOOL GROWING IN

Alberta wool growers are looking for

assertion made by a prominent sheep
man of the Grassy Lake district. 1T

that we Will receive that figure from

get more than that.
The war has caused a great demand
to be made on the wooten mills, and
they have got to have the raw mate

The present season has been most
propitious for the growing of wool, and
the growers expect to reap big har-
vest of a splendid quality. The winter
has been very even, and the sheep are
doing well on the ranges.
No special breed of sheep is kept
on Western Canada farms, and all
seem to do well. The advice of those
interested in the welfare of the farm
ers Of Western Canada, advise all
who can at all do so to enter upon the
raising of sheep. They have proved
most profitable to those who go into
that industry on a scale commensu-
rate with their means, and their farm
area.
The climate is perfectly adapted to
the raising of sheep, they are easily
kept, and as pointed out, there is good
money to be made out of them.-Ad-
