It is a good feed- er and must have an abundance of fertility to draw upon if tender, well- developed stalks are to be ob- tained. If ‘the soll becomes dried out, even with an abundance of plant ood present succulent stalks are not likely to develop. These two things, plant food and moisture, are essen- tial in order that growth may go on uninterruptedly. soils can be made cool and mist by water or by mulching. It is not @ very great task to keep a smalJi area in celery watered during the dry perio When preparing for your vege- table garden set aside some good well rotted manure for a row of celery. Dig or plough out a space about 18 inches wide and about six inches deep, and into this scatter the manure about four inches deep. this place your good garden sofl, and mix thoroughly with the manure, and this add acid phosphate at the rate of 500 pounds per acre. If the garden is’ one which has been well manured for years seatter a coating of manure broadcast and work it in- to the soil adding acid phosphate as well, and on this good celery can be grown. A well-balanced 4-8-5 com- mercial fertilizer at the rdte of 2000 pounds per acre scattered broadcast and well mixed with the soil to depth of five or six inches will grow ood .celery without manure if moisture conditions are right Celery seed will germinate in any good garden’ soll i ut two weeks after planting; during this time the soil should be kept damp. The seed box may be set any place in the kit- chen, and when the seedlings appear, in a bright window or hotbed. In two weéks the plants may be singled out and transplanted to one and one- half to two inches apart. In another month these will have developed in- to good plants for setting to the op- en grounds. It will be seen that it takes about two months to develop good plants. Seed sown on the first of March should develop plants for setting out May 1st. For later plant- ings and. fall crop, seed started the middle of April or first of May will give good plants for setting in June. W. S.

The cloth should be left a little ack and into. the shallow. bag so fornfing a quantity of sawdust is placed. The oil to be filtered is potred through, leaving its foreign matter behind in the sawdust. a 2 Tire Tips : * When the tire goes down from a puncture, or especially through a slow leak, be gure to carefully exam- ine the inside of the case before in- serting the repaired tube. It is quite probable that you will find a bit of glass, a small nail or some other de- structive article that has thrust its ugh thé tread or side’ wall, and should be taken out.
