A McKinley is Found, ‘When in the gradual unfoulding of the devine purpose the time had come for a radical change of policy, for a new and seemingly hazardous depar- ture, William McKinley was placed at the helm: great of mind and great of heart, quick to see the indications of providence, confidently of safety when divinely guided, he steered the ship of state into strange and untried waters. ¥ And while today we would not stand and pray as the Pharases pray- ed, while we dare not thank God that we are not as other nations— that we are not even as the least ex- cusable of those who have plunged themselves and others into the vortex of hell. Yet we may thank Him that once more, in the order of Provi- dence, there is a cool head, a strong heart and a steady hand at the wheel. I do not care what your politics may be, whether you call yourself a-Republican or a Democrat, a publican or a sinner, or what not, you and I and every American citizen should thank God that Woodrow Wilson is in the White House and the government at Washington is safe. We should thank God for peace; peace with honor as the president has put it for that like every other | good and perfect gift is from above. Barns and Bins Full. Isn’t it just wonderful how God has led us and how he has blessed us. Surely ‘“‘our lines have fallen in pleasant places; yea, we have a good- ly heritage.” Another year is draw- ing to a close and another harvest has been gathered. Once more our barns are full and our bins are over- flowing. Enough has been gathered to supply the millions of our own and to carry a measure of relief io the famishing of other lands. What comforts are ours! What wealth and luxuries are ours! What oppor- tunities are ours, too! Anthems of praise should rise from every part of this land of ours—this land of un- equaled comforts and delights. Pray- ers of tender interest and mighty faith should go up in behalf of the less high]y'favored of our race. Well filled hands of charity should be out- stretched to those who perish for the want of bread. Should Be Charitable. What a shame it would be if in the midst of all our comforts we should forget to be charitable. What a blot upon our boasted Christian civilization if contrary to the spirit and teachings of Christ we should seek with one consent to enrich our- selves' at the expense of suffering, starving humanity. We must not forget to do good and communicate; for with such sacrifice God is well pleased. What a splendid acknowl- edgement of the goodness of God it would . be; aye, what a magnificent act of gratitude, to the Almighty for His loving kindness and His tender mercies toward us as a nation it would be is the United States gov- ernment would load a thousand ships, from the surplus of the harvest God has given us and send it across the ocean, as the gift of a Christian na- tion to the suffering millions in Eu- rope. Will Solve Problem. But one more thought and I am done. God has not only wonderfully led us and wonderfully blessed us but he hath placed tremendous re- sponsibilities upon wus. He hath placed us in a position of world in- fluence and we must see to ‘it that our influence is felt, and felt upon the side of right. We should stand as a big brother among the nations of the world and unselfishly seek to lead them to higher and mobler things. I do not forget that we have many problems of our still unsolved. Politics must be purified, wants re- lieved, the liquor traffic curbed; the relations of capital and labor better adjusted and many another wrong to be righted. May God be with us in the future as He has been in the past and all our problems will be solved and we shall ever stand among the nations of the earth, a testimony to his love and care. And let us not forget that ‘“righteousness excelleth a na- tion, but sin is a reproach to any people.” Hello, boys and girls. Hear that school bell?

C. BOWSFIELD Celery is unsurpassed as a money making crop in any part of the coun- try if the farmer ‘provides the right conditions. The market is constant and prices at the lowest will return a profit of "$500 to $1,000 an acre for a good crop. A celery grower must make up his mind at the outset that water has to be provided in case of drought. Without a regular system of irrigation it may be necessary to haul water to the field in barrels a number of times, but this work will be fully paid for in the extra quality of the celery crop. On account of the possibility of having to haul wa- ter it is best to locate the celery patch close to the well. Celery is naturally a swamp plant and thrives best in a molst, rather cool soil, but such land is not always avail- able, and the higher and drier soils have to be used. For this crop apply HILLING CELERY IN THE FALL. old, well rotted manure to land at the rate of ten tons to the acre, which may be supplemented with commercial fer- tilizer containing ammonia, 4 to 5 per cent; available phosphoric acid, 8 per cent; potash, 7 per cent, applied broad- cast after plowing at the rate of half a ton to the acre. Plow the land as deeply as possible. Celery requires good feeding to produce a marketable crop. It is a good plan to plow in the ma- nure in the fall and harrow liberally in the spring. If commercial fertilizer is used it should be applied before har- rowing. Go over the ground a few times with a smoothing harrow, each time in a different direction, and be sure the soil is fine and even. Then mark out the rows four feet apart. ' The markings need not be deep nor wide. Any ordinary one horse corn marker or lister may be used. By all means keep the rows straight and uniform. Just as soon as the ground is ready to receive the plants and they are ready to be set out, say about the 1st of June, the work should proceed without unnecessary delay. Let each planter have a dibbler or stick to make a hole in which to put the plant and see that he takes pains to firm the soil well around the roots. The plants should be set about five or six inches apart in double rows. On the whole, it is an easy matter for people who are accustomed to such work to set out plants in this kind of soil. ‘Where a pretty large field is being planted to celery good results have been attained in the following way: Mark off rows four feet apart and fur- row with stirring plow, turning the ridges in“the same direction. Set the plants six inches apart in the side of the furrow next the ridge. In subse- quent cultivation keep the furrows open and use them as ditches for wa- ter in case of drought Permit no weeds to grow and -cultivate the ground after each application of water. ‘When the plants have attained the proper size for use the leaves are brought into an upright position by boards placed on either side of the row, so that they slope toward the plants at the top, or else by dirt drawn against the plants and packed firmly around them. The object of this is to cause the leaves to take an upright position and exclude the light from the heart of the plant so that the latter growth is white or bleached. The proc- ess of bleaching requires from two to four weeks. Plants may be set out at any time and seed may' be started In the house. 4 Celery is difficult to handle in a small garden on account of the amount of soll required to hill it up in the fall. This problem has been solved by plant- ing four rows of celery in a foot deep trench with two rows of sweet corn on either side of it. The corn is off by the time the celery needs hilling and the soil from the corn is available. Celery must have length of stalk to be fancy, and unless the grower pro- duces fancy good, fancy prices cannot be obtained. Cultivation 1s the only way to produce long stalks of celery. .| Frequent stirring of the soll aids the plants to get hold of their food. It gives life to the soil and promotes thrift and luxuriance.

Importance of Artifiolal Heat and Proper Ventilation. by United States department of A agrioulture.] 1t is quite possible to dry the tobacco, -leaf without curing it, and it is also largely possible to cure the leaf with- out drying it. . It is essential that too rapld drying be avoided in order to afford an opportunity for the curing changes to take place. The curing proceeds very slowly or 18 stopped completely at temperatures below 60 degrees F., while the drying may go on rapidly if the air entering the barn is dry. In other words, the leaf under these -conditions 1s lkely to dry without curing. On the other hand, curing proceeds very rapidly at 80 degrees to 100 degrees F', while the rate of drying can be controlled by regulating the humidity in the barn. The necessary conditions for good curing are that-the tobacco be placed in the barn in sound condition, that the temperature be kept sufficiently high to allow the curing changes to proceed normally and that the rate of drying be controlled by regulating the humidity so as to avold elther too rapid or too slow drying. Pole sweat, or house burn, which is 80 _well known in those tobacco pro- ducing sections where artificial heat is not used in curing, is one of the results of too slow drying in the more ad- vanced stage of curing. Pole sweat is nothing more than the rotting or de- caying of the ledf. The decay of the § »| BARN _WITH VENTILATOR ESPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR USE OF ABTIFICIAL HEAT. leat is due ‘to micro-organisms -or “germs” which are active only at mod- erate temperatures and in the presence of an abundance of moisture. There will be little or no pole sweat so long as the temperature remains below 60 degrees F. or the relative humidity is less than 85 per cent. It can be easily and completely controlled by the com- bined use of heat and ventilation. The.two most important reasons why artificial heat’should be used ‘more or less in curing. practically all' tobaceos are that (1) this affords the only prac- ticable means.of preventing the decay of leaf caused by excessive moisture during wet - weather and (2) tobacco does not cure properly at low tem- peratures, _hewever . favorable ' the ‘weather may be otherwise, a fact of special importance in northern tobacco districts. ‘Where no heat is used ‘it frequently happens that'even after the curing is largely-¢ompleted wet periods of weathersbring the tobacco into such moist condition that the color 13 great- ly darkened and the quality of the to- bacco otherwise injured, while if cold weather prevails during the curing the leaf simply dries without otherwise de- veloping the desired properties of cured tobacco. During the first stage of the curing, in which “the - yellow color develops, the principal value of the heat is to maintain a favorable temperature in the barn, and during this period great care must be taken to avold too rapid drying. It is evident that the barn must be reasonably tight g0 as to pre- vent the rapid escape of the heat and moisture. On the other hand, the barn wmust have proper means of ventilation during wet weather; otherwise the air in. the barn soon becomes saturated, the drying will be checked, and there will be danger of pole sweat when the second stage of the curing i3 reached. No heating system will give satisfac- "tory.results in a barn which is not reasonably tight, for the temperature in such a barn cannot be raised sufi- clently without drying the tobacco too rapidly. ¥ The heating system must have suffi- clent capacity. A little heat-is fre- quently. worse than none. Small open fires on the floor of the barn, prefer- ably in small shallow pits, have been extensively used. The evident points in favor of open fires as a_source of heat in curing are simplicity and cheap- ness. Where wood can be used this is the cheapest method of applying heat.
