WAYS OF BLANCHING CELERY
Different Methods of Treating Plant
Described-All Have Been Found
Most Satisfactory.
(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

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.
