satm, CELERY. The plan followed by the Jersey market gardeners for growing celery, possesses many advantages over the customary method of setting the plants in deep trenches,—involv ing much labor for digging the trenches and subsequent earthing up. The dwarf varieties are most profitable, and for winter use should be transplanted from the middle of July to the middle of Au gust, as nothing is gained by attempting to grow it in the hot days of early summer. We may use the ground from which a spring crop of beets, onions or peas has been remov ed, and if the ground has been well manured for these crops, the Celery will need no addi tional application of fertilizing matter. Lines are struck out on the level surface three feet apart, and the plants set six inches apart in the rows,—pressing the soil firmly about the roots to exclude the air until new rootlets are formed. As soon as the plants are fairly started, say about the middle of August, the earth is drawn closely about them with the hoe, and then pressed closely around each plant with the hands,—firm enough to keep the leaves in an upright position and prevent them from spreading. This is termed "han dling." The banking process is then finish ed with the spade,—digging the soil from be tween the rows and banking it up clear to the top on each side of the row of the Celery. If we wish the Celery entirely for winter use, no "banking up" with the spade is need ed, and nothing beyond the "handling,"— which in this case should not be dene before the middle of September, or just long enough before the Celery is dug up to keep it in an upright position. Celery will stand all the frost we have in this clirn vte up to about the middle of Novem ber. The crop should be dug from the first to the middle of November. Select the dry est ground. Dig a trench as narrow as pos sible, (10 or 12 inches,) and in depth just the height of the Celery. The Celery is pat in as nearly perpendicular as possible, and so as to fill it up entirely,—its green tops being on a level with the top of the ground. No earth is put to the roots other than what may ad here to the plants in taking them up. There is always moisture enoogh at the bottom of the trench, at the cool season, to keep the plant from wilting. Cover gradually with some light manure of straw and leaves, increasing gradually un til about the last of December, when it will require at least a foot of covering of some light.'dry material. The reason that it cannot bear the full cov ering at first is that the heat generated from the closely packed Celery could not pass off, and decay to some extent takes place.—Jf. S. A. in Bttrkand Schugkill Journal. IMPROVE THE HOMESTEAD. The first thing I should press on the farm ers, in the way of improvements, would be what we might call roadside improvement. Keep the cattle off the highways, keep the weeds cut close, and lines of shade trees on each side —this, with neat fences, will be an evidence of civilization to begin with. Then I would enjoin the removal from the roadside near the dwelling, of all dilapidated and bro ken implcmlnts, which are so apt, somehow or other, to accumulate. The barn and other out-buildings are very frequently located more on the principle of convenience than good taste, but we f must take these things as they are, and improve them with paint or wash of some sort, and a good thick belt of rapid growing trees around tliem, both for shelter and shade, and to partly conceal their unsightly appearance. Then, as for the door yard, I would dig up, root out all the old neglected plum, peach, cherry and quince trees, that seem to have sprung np by chance in the fence corners. All the finer fruits, I would form into a nice fruit garden of half an acre to two acres, as might be necessary. There I would have a complete collection of pearß, cherries, apri cots, plums, quinces, all the small fruits sys tematically planted and carefully cultivated. This garden might be made one of the most interesting portions of the premises, to say nothing of the abundant supply of fine fruit and vegetables it would yield. Here the family could acquire taste for gardening, as well as learn to practice it. Then the ground about the house I would convert into a smooth lawn, which must be kept cut close all summer. This lawn must be suitably embellished with deciduons and evergreen trees, flowering shrubs, roses, 4c. This is the way I preach to the farmers when I visit them, but only once in a great while with any effect. It is a shame for our well tp-do farmers that they are so behind in this matter. It makes farm life so dull and drea ry a pursuit, that I am not surprised to see all the brighter boys run away from it, and our rural population, growing less and less every year. Then think how much these im provements would add to the market value of the farms A nice house, some good fen ces, an orchard, increase the value of a farm from S2O to $25 per acre, other things being equal, but carry out such suggestions as I have made and what do you suppose it would add to the value of a farm? Almost double it! This argument has some weight; it touches the pocket, but the moral effect of such improvements would be absolutely in calculable.—P. Barry. WASH FOR TREES. —It is probably a little late to wash trees with a view to the destruc tion of insects, yet it is never too late to do good, and washing the trunks of trees with a proper mixture will aot only kill insects but it will add greatly to the health of the tree. For a wash we have already recommended whale oil soap, which we have found to be an excellent application, seeming to combine all the ingredients distasteful to insect life. Re cently petroleum and common soft soap, in the proportion of a pint of the former to a allon and a half of the latter, is considerably used. We have no doubt this will answer, and it is in some respects similar to the oth er. We also see recommended the old appli cation made of sulphur, tobacco and lime, mixed with water, but we like the others better. A scraping and scrubbing of the trunks of trees, say twice a year, will exer cise a wonderful influence upon the health and productiveness of the trees.-German to ten Telegraph. STIR THE SOIL. —If you expect to gather good fruit, or large and fragrant flowers, keep the soil frequenily stirred; never let it get packed down and dried. If drought comes , the more yon stir the land the better. Soil stirred after four o'clock p. m. will ab- sorb the dew almost equal to the effect of a small shower. Many years ago, we kept a large nursery fresh, green and growing all gammer by keeping our plow and cultivator working from three p. m. to dark, and some times a little on moonshiny nights. Grass fields all around us were burned out, forests were brown, and yet our trees and plants grew on as usual, and all by means of con stant stirring of the soil. — Rural -V. lorker. "I'LL give that girl a piece of my mind," exclaimed a certain voting fellow. "I wouldn't," replied his uncle, "youhave none to spare." WHEN Haddix's wife kicked him out of bed on a cold night, said he, "Look here now! you better not do that again; if you do it will cause a coolness in the family." '"I HATE to hear people talking behind one s back," as the robber said when the constable was chasing him and crying "Stop thief A iioi' on "the light fantastic toe," may be pleasant but not when you hop on the light fantastic toe of your neighbor. "I HAVE gone into silk business," said a man to his neighbor. "So I supposed, as I saw you reeling homo last night." A MOTHER wrote to her son: "Come home, John, as a rolling stone gathers no moss." He replied: "No mother, a setting hen never grows fat." "MY son," said a man of donbtlul morals, putting his hand upon a young urchin's shoul der, "I believe Satan has got hold of you.' "I believe so too," was the prompt reply. As Irishman, on being told that a certain kind of stoves would "save half the coal," said, "Then I'll take two of them, and save it all." "WHAT'S that?" asked a teacher of a little girl, pointing to the letter X. "Why, that's papa's name; I've seen him write it ever so many times." A DISTRESSED mother writes to the Allen town Democrat for adTice, which she gets thusly: "The only way of curing your son of staying out "late o' nights' is to break his legs, or else get the 'calico' he runs with to do your housework." A LADT took her little boy to church for the first time. Upon hearing the organ he was on his feet instanter. "Sit down," said the mother. "I won't he shouted, "I want to see the mousey." A LITTLE boy asked his mother what blood relations meant. She explained that it meant near relatives, etc. After thinking amoment, he said, "Then mother, you must be the bloodiest relation I've got." AN Irish servant being asked whether his master was within, replied, "No." "When will he return?" "Oh, when master gives orders to say that he is not at home, w never know when he will come in." A GOOD story is told of the President in Raleigh. While responding, in a feeling manner, to the welcome given him, he used the expression:—"Let as, my friends, the breaches'" —and before he could aacr "made by the war," an old lady exclaimed, "Bless the dear man, he has come home again to work at his trade." A SHORT time ago, at a school in Newark, during a lesson on the animal kingdom the teacher put the following question: "Can any boy name to me an animal ofthe order edentata—a front tooth toothless ani mal?" A boy, whose face beamed with pleasure at the prospect of a good mark, replied, "I can." "Well, what is the animal ?" "My grandmother," replied the boy. THE following delicate specimen of juvenile bravado is too good to be lost: One night Freddy had been put to his bed, and mother and Johnny were in an adjoining room. Presently Johnny cut up some caper, on which his mother threatened to take him him into another room and whip him. "Mother," said Freddy's voice under the bed-clothes, "I know where I'd take him." "Where?" said the mother, whose curiosi ty was excited. "I'd take him under the left ear." DURING the cross examinatiou of a false witness at the Tombs the other day, the Dis trict attorney asked him where his father was, to which the witness, with a melancholy air, responded: "Dead, sir; dropt off very suddenly, sir." "How came he to dropoff so suddenly?" was the next question. "Foul play, sir; the sheriff imposed on his unconscious nature, sir, and getting him to go up on a platform to look at a select audi ence, suddenly knocked a trap door out from under him, sir." "WILL you have a Daily Sun, said a news boy to Mrs. Partington. "Will I have a daily son? Why you little scapegrace 1 How dare you insinuate against a loue woman from home ? No, indeed—l guess I won't have a daily sun 1 My dear poor man used to complain awfully when I presen ted him with a yearly son. A daily son in deed. Begone, you little upstart imp 1" and the old lady called for the old turkey fan to keep her from swooning. TO BUILDERS. T. BURC'HINELL & CO'S. NEW PLANING HILL, HUNTINGDON, PA.
