There Is no relish for the table which Is more delicious than crisp. nutty favored celery from the home garden, the growing of which is In no sense a difficult matter. If one has not thought of the matter in time tV raise plants from the seed, which re quire two or three weeks to germinate. they may be secured from a neighbor or market gardener. i For early use there is no -ariety which is superior to the Golden Self blanching, but any variety that one can get will do well with proper care. The important point is to set out stalky. vigorous plants. taking care to pfune.back both top and roots at the time of transplanting. A simple plan for the bed is to re move about eight Inches of earth from a spot in the garden which will tbe convenient for watering. say 4 by 20 feet. or from a still larger tract if more celery is wanted. Into the soil at the bottom of this trench should be worked three or four wheelbarrow oods of fne, well rotted 9artmlzer. The plants should be set six to eight Inches apart in the rows and the rows ten inches apart. enough to permit of frequent hoeing. Being set below the surface of the ground. the bed wll not dry out rapidly. while the work of watering is thereby greatly simplified. If there is no one about the house suf clently strong of arm to dig the trench the pLauts may be set on the level ground and given the some culti ation and somewhat more frequent watering than in the low bed. When the plants have reached a foot or ff teen inches the hilling process may be begun and fire or six Inches of the soil originally removed from the trench replaced. care being exercised to bold the stalks of the plants close together so as to prevent dirt getting into the crown. Three or four weeks later. depending somewhat upon the rapidity of growth, four or fire inches more of earth should be filled In abovt the plants and under usual conditions this will give all the bleaching neces sary. In a relatively short time after this second hilling the celery will- be bleached sufficiently for the table. If any Is left at the beginning of winter the plants may be taken up with plen ty of roots and the earth adhering and put in a box In the cellar. where they will continue bleaching and be crisp and tender until after the holidays. THE .PRE'COOL.!NG OF FRUIT. Great benefit Is expected to come to the fruit growers of the Pacine coast from the plants which have been in stalledj at several points in California and will shortly be erected at other points for the precooling of fruit, des tined for transcontinental shipment. In the past, even wIth the most care ful refrigeration en route, both trans portation companies and growers have sustained serious loss as a result of fruit spoiling in transit. In these new precooling plants, which are really mammoth refrigerating plants. whole train loads of fruit can be reduced to a temperature close to the freezing point in the course of two or three hours, artificial means being used to draw the warm air from and inject the cold air into the cars. Car loads of fruit made ready for shipment in this way are givcn the usual Icing in transit, with the result that the fruit arrives ai its destination In as nearly perfect condition as possible, the loss resulting from the ,truit being In heat ed condition at the time of shipment. as has been the case heretofore, being virtually nothing. The installation of these plants at important shipping points not only In the west. but in other parts of the country, will mean increased revenue for the growers of fruit and a greatly improved quality for the consumer. THE BIG FREEZE. Harvest time alone will reveal the extent of the damage wrought by the fearful cold spell which visited some fourteen or fifteen of the lake, Ohio and MIssssippi valley states during the last ten days in April. It caught fruit trees of aill kinds In full blossom or tender young fruit and not only seared and blackened these, but killed the new leaves ad tender twigs of shrubs and forest trees and killed or greatly weakened the vitality of thousands of acres of newly sprouted grain and corn. Farther south. in the tobacco and cotton belts, the damage was enor mous, the extent of which can only be determined later. To the west on the great plains Immense damage was done to grain and fruit. wLile fruit growers in Utah and Colorado report their losses at from 50 per cent up. Those who are acquainted with the meteorological antics of the sections under the sway of the Medicine Hlat weater hierarchy feared just such a contingency when the wires got cross ed and April and May weather was dispensed all through March. How ever, It is too early In the season to lose courage, for nature may be ex eeedig kind the rest of tbe year. 'Foley Kidaey Fills Hlave Cured Me.'

A fool's heart is in lisa tongue, but a wise mian's tongue Is In his heart. Occasions often arise when It I3 nec essary that a family obsh-rve rather rigid economy t6 make both ends meet. When that time comes the good wife should not be the only one expected to f practice the virtue. It should eliminate the smoking tobacco as well as a new spring bonnet. There be many supposedly respecia ble people who wouldn't steal their neighbor's purse or sheep who fail down when It comes to the moral in volved In palming off beef suet for butter fat. This is just the same kind of cussedness. only smaller and more contemptible, for it is practiced under the guise of an activity which is law ful and decent. Some feeding experiments which have been conducted of late by the Iowa experiment station show that sugar beets and mangels favor the for mation of calculi, or *stone." la : u kidneys and bladders of breeding rams, in some instances fatal results occurring. The discovery would seem to indicate that it Is not advisable to feed these roots to breeding sheep. either rams or ewes, as the results would doubtless be the same with both. The western reacher Is not bothered with Canda thistles or qeack grass. but he has in his grain and alfalfa fields an annual. the tireweed. I hat causes him much annoyance. It grows to a height of from one to two fel tas nd bears numerous yellow blossoms on a fiddle neck blossom stalk. the leaves being covered with numerous short spines. which, brittle and dry at hay ing and harvest time. Irritate the skin as much as do fleas and chig;:er. When the fireweed gets in possession of a field. about the only way to eradi cate It Is clean cultivation of some tilled crop. The Maine experiment station put lishes the following recipe for the dry mash which it has tested and found excellent as a poultry feed: Two hun dred pounds good wheat bran. 100 pounds cornmeal. 100 pounds mid dlings (or Red Dog dour. 100 pounds gluten meal or brewers grains. 100 pounds linseed meal and 100 pounds beef scraps. This should be thoroughly mixed on a clean door before being put In the feed boppers. The scratch Ing ration recommended by the same station consists of four quarts of screened cracked corn, two quarts of wheat and two quarts of oats for each hundred hens (Plymouth Rock) daily. Wild morning glory Is one of the common weeds dificult to kill out be cause of the habit of multiplying by a system of underground rootstalks. usu al cultural methods only serving to spread the pest One old fellow we heard of the other day got rid of a good sized patch by hoeing off all of the vines-which showed above ground every Monday morning. Tuesdey morn ing would probably have done just as well, but he thought Monday morning was the appointed time. The Impor taut fact in connection with -the in stance Is that this weekly attack wor ried the life out of the morning glo ries. sapping the vitality of the root systems to such an extent that there was not enough plant food left to car ry the plants through the winter. While euphonlously named brands of wheat flour often come from the same bin in the mill, were the truth only known there are distinctions with di! ferences in at least three of the grades of flour usually milled whieh the con smer might well be acquainted with. The highest priced "patent" flours are made from the inner portion of the wheat, rnnning from 00 to 05 per cent of the berry. "Clear" flour con sists of the edible portion of the wheat less the patent which has been taken from It and contains from 15 to 30 per cent of the wheat berry. Straight lour contains all of the berry which Is it for human food and, though con sidered inferior to the patent flour in grade -and lower In price, contains more of the nutritive elements of the wheat berry and therefore makes a more nutritious bread. Only within the past few years has an adequate value been placed 'upon kmmilk, yet it Is a well known fact of chemistry that It contains virtuajly all of the casein (protein) of the whole milk, the butter fat removed in the cream being carbon and wvater. ,Practl cally all of the food value of skim milk may be removed in the shape of cottage cheese, also known as "schmerkase." The following recipe for making this appetizing food is rec ommended by the Nebraska experi ment station: Allow the skimmllk to become sour and curdled, then heat to 90 or 100 degrees F. in about thirty minutes. After it has reacbed the de sired temperature remove the vessel from the stove and allow curd to re main In hot' whey for about fifteen minutes- Then remove whey by pour ig the clabber into a cheesecloth bag or through a fine wire screen with cheesecloth spread over it and allow to drain until no more wvhey appears. The texture-hardness or softness of the cual-depends upon the tempera ture to which the milk is heated and the time the card Is allowed to renmin in the hot whey. The greater the heat and the longer Its duration the aarde-r the cheese will be. Adding to the card 'about one-tenth Its volume of rich cream greatly improves the flavor of the cheese, together with sufficient salt to season. A Few Short Weeks. .r. .1. S. llarte-ll.

Once, having found the pitch of the piano too high, she said after the re hearsal to her husband: -The ilano Is too hIgh. Will you see that It is made lower b.-fore the concerty' When the evening came Catalani was annoyed to find that the piano had not been altered. Hecr husband sent for the car penter. who declared that he had saw ed off two Inches from each leg, as he had been ordered to do. "Surely It can't be too high now, my dear,"' said Judges' Wigs.
