BLANCHING CELERY
IS VERY IMPORTANT
Big Growers Follow Practically
the Same Methods-AppIy
Manure Every Season.

Under good conditions celery plants
grow very rapidly. Soon after the
plants are we'll started they should be
given a 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 blanched in several ways,
but the best practice for the farm is
to place the plants in a trench about
twelve inches deep, twelve inches wide
The plants are taken up with a spad
ing fork, the roots trimmed of square
and all faulty stalks should be re-
moved from the outside Of the bunch.
Place the plants four in row and
pack little damp soil around the
roots. After the plants have been
placed in the trench. place a 12.inch
board on each side OF the plants and
draw the tops slightly together. A
board placed on top will make a GOV.
erins which will protect the plants
until hard, freezing weather, when lit.
ter and earth must be thrown over the
trench to prevent them from freezing.
Inc slightest touch with frost will
ruin them. II celery Is to be marketed
late in the winter 1t should be placed
IN hotbed or In earth in the cellar
or In a storage house.
The big celery growers follow the
same method except that after the
plants are placed In the trench with
the boards on either side OF the rows.
which are gradually withdrawn until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. aud this is added to as weather
becomes colder.
Some growers blanch their celery BY
placing over the plants section OF
araln tile and covering UP the ton

Mr.. Fuller, but there are, II seems to
me, certain fundamental UNDERLYING

result, my thoughts on the subject
are: that an ideal plan Of taxation
should rest upon fair. adequate and
equal assessments OF subjects OF taxa

terests in this State to be imprncticable
If not impossible.
confronted with such situation as
this we are therefore relegated to n
system Of complete or partial segrega-
ton of subjects OF taxation. the State
taking Its source OF revenue by the
assessment OF taxes upon certain
classes OF property and leaving for To-
calities other subjects to be exclusively
taxed. This plan Will, to large ex-
tent, although not wholly, remedy the
inequality OF assessments which are
found to exist in different localities
of the State. If n better plan than
the last can be found I am ready to
adopt 1t for my people.

RECEIVERS STOLEN HORSE
believed That Organized Gnng Has
Been Trading or Stolen Horses.

For nearly month E. H. Armen-
trout, OF 1406 North Twenty-second
Street, has been searching for n valu
able horse, which was stolen from him
one night while the animal was left
standing on Sixth street, between
Broad and Marshall. Yesterday,
through the efforts OF Captain McMa-
hon. who had sent circulars far and
wide, the horse was found. 1t was
long way from home. The county
sheriff had received some of the circu-
lars and had stuck them up where
the countryside could see and read as
they drove to market with their wares
or returned with empty carts and full
pockets. One enterprising young farm
er noticed the circular and remembered
description. He was possessed of more
than the usual native acuteness. He
tore the circular from the board. put
it into his pocket, located the horse,
Informed the sheriff. who in turn In
formed Captain Mcmahon. who in
formed Mr.. Armentrout. who got tho
horse; and the young farmer got S2b
reward. The farmer who had tho horse
had gotten him in trade. The thieves
have escaped.
While he was in fredericksburg
Mr.. Armentrout came across a dayton
wagon, n mule and n horse, which had
been staolen; and Detective-Sergea
Willy will be sent to Fredericksburg
this morning to investigate. 1t Is be-
lieved that thieves have been stealing
horses In Richmond on the wholesal 10

had been stolen from N. J. Crull, Of
Richmond. and Earl Campbell Is under
