Arranging Boards for Blanching Celery
Celery may be grown on any soil
from sand to clay provided other con-
ditions are made right SuccesB Is
largely a matter of fertility and mois-
ture Fertility Is maintained by the
use of cover crops mine manure and
commercial fertilizers writes Paul
Work In Rural New Yorker Crimson
clover and rye are the standard humus-making
crops with the latter pre-
ferred The clover 1b of value as a
nitrogen gatherer but unless It can be
sown earlier than Is possible on high-
priced and Intensively farmed land
the gain does not cover the extra cost
of seed Rye has the advantage of a
greater bulk of humus and an assured
stand
Seed for the early crop should be
sown In flats about March 1 Earlier
sowings show a marked tendency to
run to seed and there is little advant-
age in marketing before August 1
Typical Bunch Ready for Market
Some trouble Is experienced with
damping off Deep flats and careful
watering are Important factors In
avoiding this difficulty Of recent
years the seed has been sown in
beds the soil of which has been
sterilized For this purpose a quart of
formalin Is mixed with a barrel of
water and a gallon of this liquid ap-
plied to each cubic foot of soil After
two weeks it is dug over and seed may
then be sown without danger from the
chemical The seedlings are trans-
planted to flats and then to cold
frames though they are not so rigor-
ously hardened as cabbage plants A
full ton of a high grade fertilizer run-
ning about six per cent of nitrogen
eight of phosphoric acid and ten of
potash Is applied to each acre The
fertilizer should be put on just before
the plants are set about the middle of
May The distances are 33 inches be-
tween rows and seven inches in the
row Great care should be taken to
avoid setting the plants too deep as
the crown is partly covered and the
plant seriously Btunted usually ruined
A row planted by a careless worker
Is a conspicuous monument to his
memory throughout tho season
The water problem is a very serious
matter and especially In growing
celery There is hardly a year when
drought does not curtail the crop Ir-
rigation is the only remedy Leaf
spot or celery blight is the most ser-
ious pest It can be held in check by
faithful applications of Bordeaux mix-
ture Blanching celery In hot waether is
not so easily accomplished as in the
fall Soil at this season affords most
favorable conditions for rust Instead
of this method 12-Inch boards are
used Only good lumber is purchased
cleats are nailed on to prevent split-
ting and the boards are as well cared
for as hotbed sash far better than
many a gardener cares for them
Each board does service six to Beven
times in a season When the plants
are 12 inches high the boards are
set beside them and fastened in place
with clamps made from a piece of
heavy wire about 10 Inches long and
bent to a little less than a right angle
two inches from each end Pairs of
rows are selected at intervals over the
field for the first blanching In this
way wagon-ways are opened and labor
Is saved In moving the boards from
row to row The process requires
from 10 days to two weeks according
to weather conditions When ready
for market the celery is dug with
spades and stripped of outside leaves
in the field It is hauled to a shed
trimmed washed with a hose bunch-
ed and scrubbed The root Is cut to
a four-sided wedge and three or four
stalks are tied at top and bottom Into
a flat bunch

Educate Collie Pups
The Collie pup like the child must
be thoroughly educated A child that
is not educated Is simply a back num-
her and has no standing In the better
society circles so the Scotch Collie
that Is not educated up In the proper
lines Is little benefit to his master
The Scotch Collie is almost if not al-
together as susceptible to an educa-
tion or training as the child
GRASS RUNS FOR CHICKENS
I have had three years' experience
with the system of green feeding
here described and know what I am
talking about To the poultry keep-
er who is obliged to economize space
the green food problem ie most vex-
ations but Dr George W Little the
pheasant fancier solved the problem
when he Invented grass ryns writes
Dr A H Phelps In Orange Judd
Farmer These are frames four feet
wide 13 feet long made with hem-
lock boards bIx Inches wide standing
upon edge the top being covered with
one-inch-mesh chicken wire Beneath
this frame crimson clover oats wheat
and rye are sown
The wire which Is six Inches above
the ground protects the young grow-
ing plants until they pass through
the wire when the fowle begin pick-
ing off the ends of the top leaves
They cannot get at the roots or other-
wise destroy the plants which con-
tinue to grow with Increasing vigor
throughout the season My experience
with over 100 of these runs has
proved that Lakenvelders and Ham-
burgs ought to have four square feet
a bird while Faverolles and other
large breeds need six or seven feet
ach
Of course in estimating the sur-
face required for a given number of
fowls a great deal depends upon the
luxuriance of growth of the plants
The soil must be well prepared and
rich the runs must be located to re-
ceive ample sunlight In event of a
protracted drought they must be wa-
tered with a hose and lastly the seed
must be sown thickly The hens walk
around on the top of the wire and
keep the plants cut off as smoothly
as would be done by a lawn mower
Disadvantage -of Gilt
A gilt will' usually farrow about as
many pigs as an aged sow but she Is
usually not more than half-grown and
not In proper condition to farrow so
her pigs come much smaller and she
has developed no motherly Instinct or
milk flow consequently it Is about
two weeks before her pigs get to
where the aged sow’s litter were when
they were born
