(By E. F. M'KUN., Colorado Expert. ment Station.) There are many different ways to blanch celery. The following have been found to be the most practical:' Trench Method.-When the young plants are set out, they are placed in a trench six or eight inches deep. As they grow, the dirt is gradually worked in around them, care being taken not to cover the leaves. Banking Method.-E7arth or clean straw can be used for this. When the plants got fairly large, the dirt between the rows can be pulled up arounl the stalks, or straw can be made to serve the same purpose. Do not use manure, as it is apt to fer ment and injure the stalk. Boards.-Six to eight-inch boards are often used. They are placed one on each side of the row, and as near Celery Ready for Market-Slatted Work Used as a Base Makes Wash. ing Comparatively Easy. 'the plants as possible. Boards have the advantage over the other method in that they are easy to place when needed, and can be removed and stored until the next year. Wrapping Paper.-Strong manila wrapping paper can be used. Each individual plant is wrapped. This is 'a slow method, but keeps the stalks clean. Tlle.-Four-inch drainage tile is sometimes used. The tile is simply slipped over the plant when it is seven to ten inches high. The tile stands in an upright position and affords good protection to the stalks. This meth od is not as expensive as it may sound because the tile can be used for many years for this purpose. VERMIN CAUSE HOG DISEASES No Animal Can Grow and Prosper If Pestered With Insects-Disin fect Houses and Troughs. It has been proved beyond question of doubt that lice on hogs cause chol era and other diseases, the parasites being carriers of disease germs. No animals can grow and do well pes tered with insects. It is practical economy to disinfect hogs, their houses, troughs and feed ing grounds frequently. It is a means of keeping the animals thrifty and of avoiding disease. Lime and coal tar disinfectants should be used liberally and frequently wherever hogs stay or eat. There would be more and health ier hogs if farmors generally would purchase and usne more limne and com mon cheap disinfectants for their hogs. A barrel of lime is cheaper and better than a dead hog. The best way we have found of treatinig bogs for lice is to spray or scrub them with kerosene or crude oil every three or four weeks during the year, says a writer in Farm Progress. We use a wooden candy pail, placing in it a couple of gallons of warm water, about a gallon of kerosene and .about a half cake of dtrong laundry soap. Soft soap is as good, or better. The mixture is stirred and sprinkled over the bogs with an old broom, while they are eating a good slop from troughs, when they will stand quietly for the treatment. - , YOUNG PULLET WORKS QUICK Rhode Island Red Chick Hatched in February Brings Off Brood of Chicks in July. The following incidents were relatedl recently by [Roy E. Jones, extension insitructor of the Connecticut college of agricuiture: "A Rhode Island Red pullet hatched February 5 stole her nest, laid 13 eggs and came off with her chicks on July 5, just five months from the time she herself was hatched. Allowing 21 days for inculbation and 13 clays or more for laying, this pullet must have taken up her life work at considerably less than four months of age. But this is not entirely an exception; 75 pullets hate~cd February 5, 7, 11, began lay ing June 19 and are nearing 50 per cent production at the present time. These pullets were fed sour milk from the very first and (lid not have water to drink until warm weather, when they were put out on the range. No beef scrap was used in their rations. Feed formulas recommended by the Connecticut agricultural college wore used." Seed Potatoes, Do not buy imported potatoes for seed because they look nice and are cheap. They do not equal our home grown potatoes as prodlucers and there Is great danger of introducing some new potato disease, such as wvart dis ease, which is the most d'angerous, and also rponigosposa scab, black leg and leaf curl are others which are prac tically uniknown bere.
