AUTUMN DEMAND FOR CELERY
Tendency to Rush Product to Market
Before 1t Is Well BIanched-Loss
in Trimming.

The bracing fall weather will stimu-
late the demand for celery. At this
season when it is selling readily at
good prices, there is "a tendency to
rush celery to market before it is well
blanched. This is a mistake, because
it necessitates severe trimming at the
market end, and the product goes to
the cheaper trade. To catch the best
grade, celery must be fully blanched
clean and well trimmed.
Handling" celery should be finished
promptly and the rows ridged as fast
MS possible. If the soil is allowed to
get into the hearts Of the plants il
will cause rot. Celery intended for
storage should not be ridged. In some
quarters there is Il prejudice against
blanching celery with boards. It is
claimed that blanching with earth
makes it crisper and gives it a better
flavor. Just the same, much of the
product grown in various parts of the
country is blanched with boards, and
it sells for top prices too.

CAULIFL0WER IN FAVOR
Vegetable Is Closely Related to
the Cabbage Tribe.
Very Rich Soil Required, and II Must
Be Given Most Particular Treat
ment-Market Demands Snowy
White Heads.

Caulifower Is closely related to the
cabbage tribe, but much more refined
in its habits and more difficult to cul-
tivate. Ii requires a very rich soil and
the most particular treatment, and no
farmer or gardener would be justified
in attempting its cultivation on large
scale, or to depend upon It as a market
crop without first having thoroughly
studied its pecullarities and require
ments.
The market desires snowy white
heads, so that protection is universally
practiced to accomplish this purpose.
Three methods are used: ID the
breaking of half dozen or more
leaves over the top of the caullflower
head. The stems of the leaves are
not severed entirely, so that the leaves
remain green. (2) Breaking or bend
ing over the leaves as just explained,
and pinning with toothpicks or small
pins. This is very satisfactory
method for all sections. (3) Bringing
the leaves together over the head and
tying. This Is an excellent plan, but re-
quires more time than securing with
the toothpicks. The protection should
begin whef the heads are about an
inch and a half in diameter.
CaullflOwer is considered a delicacy
on most tables, and it pays to exercise
special care in the marketing. Al
though barrels are often used, crates
or baskets are better. A package
which will not hold more than a doz-
en- or at most two dozen heads GER
tainly has an advantage over the bar
reis.
If the heads are of good size, snowy
white, wrapped in fancy paper, and
marketed in new, clean packages they
cannot fail to attract attention, anC
command good prices.

An Unfortunate Beginning.

A young miner got married, and for
the first weeks housekeeping expenses
he gave his wife the good round sum
of 81. The girl, to his surprise, &C
cepted the dollar cheerfully, and that
week they lived abundantly enough,
albeit plainly. So, for the second
week, the miner doled out only half a
dollar. Then his wife went for him.
She told him what she thought of his
meanness. The house reverberated
with her indignation. The miner, in
the midst of the storm, clapped on his
hat and stalked out, muttering Il

MANURE APPLIED IN GARDEN
Fresh Fertilizer Induces Rank Growth
of Stem and Leaf-VieId Is
Greatly Reduced.

Barnyard manure is good for the
garden If applied at the right time,
but there are times when its appli-
cation is harmful Fresh manure,
when applied Immediately before
planting. cannot be thoroughly ineor-
porated with the soil. AS a result the
land is hard to work and the ground
Is loose instead Of compact. Fresh
manure also induces a rank growth Of
stem and leaf, and. as result Of these
factors, the yield of most YES .iab.cs
is greatly reduced.
