STORING CELERY AND CABBAGE.

CELERY: In storing celery we must of course consider the quantity to be stored and the convenience which one may have or be able to have for such storage.
 If only. small quantities are to be stored, box Of a foot or more in depth and of c6hVenient size may be used. Put about an iach of sand in the bot tom of each box. Then lift the celery from the ground with roots still at tached and, trim off all broken stalks or diseased portions. The celery may be hacked closely together with roots on the LsaId and kept in assesol, moist cellar. 's3 sA Ee8
 I wonldsn mot attempt to keep celery in a cellar room where there is fur uace fire as the air would be too dry,
 For larger quantity. an outside cellar or trench may be used. Some l0r~o growers construct cellars almost entirely above the ground, using con- .~ect walls. Over these place roof. itn 'eilsr may hc so constructed that pre can be able to drive in with loads cf re cry and nla.' have either dirt or concrete hoors. Some just put the plants Of celery on these. floors with no soil or sand beneath. unless it is a dirt floor, The hest results have been obtained by packing the plunts of eel . rIs IT tI1leS ncldlnS dDOuL four or live dozen stalks and these set on the eel lar bottom roots down.
 There are many who store celery in trenches. If ono desires to store in this way he should secure a well drain cd place digging a trench from two and onehalf 10 three feet deen. per haps three feet wide, and as lonv as would hc rccuiret to hold the celery Tn these trenches the plants after beinr raised are closely packed with roots down. After being well packed, and the trench filled with celery. some cov- ering of straw. marsh hay or even cornstalks should first be used, and then above this a dirt covering suffl- cient 10 protect it.
 CABBAGE; The time has arrived for inc storage of the late cabbage. About the most simple storage and a very successful one is to pull the cabbage leaving the roots attached. take then 10 some place fairly well protected from sweeping winds, and after a few leaves or straw has been placed or the ground, stand the cabbages, head down, with all leaves left on, closely together. When all are in place, cover

EGG RACES POPULAR.

That egg laying contests have lost nothing of their interest is shown by the fact that the ninth annual contest at the Storrs Experiment station has started with full list of entries and lar coptests has had wide effect in drawing attention of pouitrymen to the value of trap-nesting and scien- tific breeding.
 So long as poultry raising exists, the rivalry between breeds and breed CTS, may be expected to continue. Diff ference of opinion. it is said, is the chief incentive to horse racing. and difference of opinion certainly exists as to relative merits of poultry breeds. The egg laying contest seems the most logical way to test out individual claims

,ond years the young trees looked poor ly, but when finally established lived to a good old cherry tree age.
 It was found that the mahaleb stock when budded or grafted made fine looking trees the second year. and so nursery men finally used the mahaleb stock almost exclusively.
 The result is that cherry trees on mahaieb stock are short lived; the trees grow into bearing and soon die.
 In planting cherry trees purchase from reliable nursery men and insist on trees of mazzard stock, even though the price may seem high. as they will be the cheapest in the long run. Have the bill for the tEees state plainly that they are on mazzard stock. and preserve the receipted bill

RARsIrs EoR MARkET.

The attractive mathematical calcu- lations sometimes made in estimating breeding possibilities of rabbits not infrequentiy have led persons to en- gage in rabbit raising without proper study of the problem.
 Before starting on this enterprise it is advisable also for one to consider well how such rabbits as can be raised may be disposed of. In the vii cinity of towns where therc are res taurants, hotels and boarding houses, arrangements cen usually be made to furnish market men or landlords. a regular number of rabbits weekly. But

PROVIDE GRASS SUBSTITUTES.

A reasonable supply of fresh green feed is almost as necessary as grain for chicks if they are to develop prop erly. If allowed liberty they will ob- tain much of it for themselves, but if kept in confinement or in quarters where green feed is not abundant, it should be supplied them regularly Lawn grass, beet tops. cabbage and lettuce make excellent feeds. When chicks are confined to brood coops with runs, they should be placed or ground where the grass is green an6 tender, and. as fast as it is eaten off the coop and run should be moved tt a place where the grass is plentiful

one should not begin raising rabbits on large scale in a locality where people are urlaccustoTned to eating them. No breeder can expect to make a profit until he has developed a mar- ket. He can demonstrate the desira-
 bility of the meat of young rabbits to his neighbors and sometimes to other agencies. If a breeder is not able to
 carry out an educational campaign
 singly, he should endeavor to organize
 with others in such an undertaking.
 By combining they can save cost in
 advertising and stabilize their output.
 Rabbits of recognized breeds con- forming in size, build and color to &C., cepted standards are in demand for breeding stock. Those born of regis tered parents are preferred and are spoken of as. "pedigreed." They can be registered if the owner so desires. | The cost of keeping pedigreed or i registered stock is no more than that
 of keeping ordinary stock and the re- Iturns are considerably greater Such stock can usually be disposed of by advertising if there is not sufficient
 home demand. Rabbits for meat are
 sold at greatest iNnfit when from tive 1 to four months of age, Ordinarily they are shipped to market alive in crates like poultry.
