Vihj a Bin Roe Is Impossible.
A florist makes the assertion that a
bine rose is among tho impossibilitio,
but, tvliilc nn cxplnnntion of this curious
fact mny be equally impossible, ho fnils
to mention a very interesting law which
governs the coloring of nil flowers. A.
knowledge of this law would save many
flowcr-firowcrs hours of unavailing and
foolish hope. The law is simply this:
The three colors, red, bluo and yellow,
never all appear in the snmo species of
flowers; any two may exist, but never
the third. Thus wo have tho red and
yellow rocs, but no blue; red and blue
verbenas, but no yellow; yellow and bluo
in the various members of the viola fam
ily (as pansics, for instance), but no red;
red and yellow gladoli, but no blue, and
so through a long list. St, Louii Jiepub-lie.
The Seamless Boat.
There is a crowing demand for
the
tcamlefs boat, which seems to be able to
stand any amount of tough work. This
boat is pressed out of an ingot of steel
and shaped by hydraulic power, and it
fulfills all the requirements of aa ordin
ary boat in a remarkably ingenious man
ner. It Is claimed for these boats that
they will lust twice as long as wooden
ones, that there is less danger of their
capsizing and that they are less liable to
be affected by changes of climate. Tho
method by which the seamless boat is
constructed is a larger application of the
method which has long been used in this
country for manufacturing cooking uten
sils and other articles of small dimen

COIIN STALKS FOP. ITOWlt.
The value of corn stalks depends on
the manner in which they are cured and
saved. If cut before they are ripe and
dry, and cured in the shade that is, in
close shocks, well protected from, the
weather they are quite as nutritious as
hay, and are perfectly healthful. Horses
have been fed wholly upon this kind of
fodder for years, and have done well.
The stalks are a complcto cure as far as
feeding can go, for the disease known as
heaves that has been caused by fecdiug
clover or musty hay. NettTorkTimet,
INDIAN CORN Cm BUST KEEPING dlOP.
Notwithstanding all that has been
claimed for various fodder crops from
time to time, the fact remains that Indian
corn will produce, the most cattle food
per acre of anything that we can grow.
Tho man who combines livestock with
general farming is foolish if he does not
arrango for a liberal crop of this. If
used in connection with a silo the corn
field will accomplish its very greatest
good. One advantage of the silo is that
it furnishes succulent food to mix with
other dry fodder and so make the latter
more palatable A'eio York Obterver.
WPCOM.
Popcorn grows well under much the
same conditions of soil and climttte as
are required for tho Sold and garden
corns, but should be planted apart from
cither to prevent intermixing. The ears
should remain on the stalks until tho
kernels are entirely maturo and should
be thoroughly air-dried and preserved in
that condition uutil wanted for uso. As
its bulk increases enormously by the
popping no family will require a laro
amount of ears, but care should be taken
not to store them in a damp placo. One
way in which they may be preserved is
by stripping off most of tho outer husks
and drawing back a few of tho inner
ones and laying thein together in bunches
of convenient size for hanging up.
Where this is not practiced, the ears,
cither wholly or partly husked, may bo
put into baskets and hang suspended in
the corn-house or barn or from the coil
ing of any dry storage room. For per
fect popping, corn should bo a year or
more old and care should bo taken to
keep it where mice cannot reach it, and
suspending-it in some of tho ways pointed
out will secure the two essentials of a
thorough air drying and protection from
the depredations of the small rodcaU.

ENSILAGE FOR STEERS.
Le Grand Cannon, in some remarks
before the New York farmers, gives
valuable information on his success in
fattening steers with tho assistance of
ensilage. Ho took three sets of steers,
ninety animals in each lot. One lot was
allowed to run out of doors all winter
just as the average Vermont farmer treats
his steers. The two other lots were put
under cover and fed alike, except that
one lot got ensilage and the other a peck
of mangels per head a day. la the
spring the butcher was allowed to select
fifty bead at six cents a pound. He took
every head of tho fifty from out of the
ensilage fed lot, and would not give five
cents a pound for the others. Not only
were the ensilage lot carried through tho
winter cheaper than the" others, but they
improved so much in quality that they
readily sold better. This is the first
contrast we have seen in feeding for beef
between ensilage and roots. Can it be
possible that the former is so much
superior to tae latter? We have always
been told that the English, the greatest
feeders in the world, pin all their faith
to roots, and here ensilage knocks them
out the first time. Caunot some of the
stations continue this experiment?
American Dairyman.
SETTING AN AfM.E ORCnARD.
In setting out a young orchard of
apple trees, we consider two rods apart
each way, or forty trees to tho acre, is
enough, and unless the land was very
rich we should prefer thirty feet. It
will then be many years before they will
cover the ground, and when the? are
very near that point the limbs can be
cupped at the end to keep them from
interlocking. Although there is con
siderablc difference naturally in the shape
of the trees of different varieties of
apples, we should have them at uniform
distances, unless there were enough of
the very upright growing kinds to make
an orchard by themselves, when twenty-
eight leet apart might be fur enough.
By careful and frequent pruning of small
limbs, they can be trained so that the
upright growers will cover more ground,
and the spreading sorU be made more
compact. Borne who set trees at the
above distances place plum, peach or
quince trees among thein at fifteen feet
apart, so that there may be three of the
small trees to each apple tree. These
small trees are expected to make their
growth, bear crops for a few years, and
be ready to be cut out when the apple
trees require the room. Do not allow
the young apple trees to branch too near
the ground ; four feet is low enotrgh, even
for those varieties whose branches have a
tendency to grow nearly upright, and five
feet is not too high for the Baldwin, not
high enough for those, like the Greening,
which are inclined to bend downward.
In these, care should be taken by prun
ing on the underside of the limbs to pre
vent them from hanging too low down.
The advantage gained by shading the
tree trunk is more imaginary than real,
and the less exposure to the wind is not
important, or may be overcome by a
wind-breaking hedge, while the advan
tages of having the limbs high enough
so that the horses can go uuder thein
when plowing or mowing are very real,
as is also that of being able to turn sheep
aud swine in when desired, to cat the
fallen fruit, without having the limbs
when loaded with fruit hung where they
cau pick the fruit froui them. There is
no better crop to grow among young
trees than corn, but potatoes cau be very
well grown, and beans. Avoid crops
which need to bo very heavily muoured,
at least uutil the tree get well to bear
ing, as too rich a soil makes the young
wood grow so rank as to be liable to be
winter-killed. Also avoid crops which
deinaud too much moisture lestt they cause
the trees to sutler. After the young or
chard bus become an old orchard in full
bearing, clover or gross may be grown,
and the lnud made rich enough to BU2
taiu both crops. Botion. Cultioatvr.
BONES.
The composition of bono is 3.9 per
cent, nitrogen aud 2. 4 per ceut. phos
phoric acid; most ot the phosphoric
acid being the so-culled insoluble neid.
Its chemical value is about $35 per tou.
It is more speedily available, if the bones
are ground fine, but if you have nomodo
of grinding them, they are none tho loss
valuable from being buried wholo. The
insobiblo phosphoric acid is mostly sol
uble after being buried for some time.
After a quantity of bones (say a buck
etful) has accumulated, carry thera to
tho orchard, dig a hole of tuitablo size
and deep enough to bury the bones out
of the roach of hoe or plow, and then All
up tho hole with earth.
Tho largest and thriftiest grape vine
In this section has had no manure, ex
cept bones and ashes.
The bones should not bo buried too
near the body of the treo or vine, because
tho small, fibrous roots towards tho ends
of tho large ones are the feeders.
Some of our most successful fruit
growers buy bones for their orchards,
and pay from two to two and one-half
cents per pound therefor. The groat
majority of farmers aud orchardists
in this section let their old
bones go to waste or sell them
to some wiser man for thirty to sixty
cents per hundrej pounds. A man
came along the other day olTcring 3 per
ton for them, delivered in the city. They
are worth at least $15 per ton to anybody,
and if you are near an available market
for fruits, etc., the value of bones to you
rum up to $35, $50, or even If 60 in some
cases. Do not, then, throw your bones
in the back yard for your neighbor's cat
or the first stray dog that comes along.
Bonos, when One ground, are an ex
cellent fertilizer for corn and many other
crops. A small handful put m the hill
at timo of planting increases tho yield
wonderfully. If you wish to grind the
bones to use in the orchard or vineyard,
it should be spaded or plowed in attor
being sown between the rows. If you
wish to pulverize them and have no ma
chine for the purposo, crush thorn with
largo hammer, or tho back of a common
choppiug axe. They cannot be so finely'
pulverized in this way as with the ma-.
chine made for the purpose, but they can
be made one enough to help the plant
use them.
If our most successful orchardists cau
a (lord to pay two aud three cents a pound
for them, why should we, who have
them, throw them out for neighbor's
cat or dog. The value of bones is better
known in the rtortn and East than in
the South and West, but we notice that
tho value of them is better known now
than formerly. Farm, Field and Stock

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Give water to chicks from the start.
To fatten poultry for market give
plenty of wheat and cracked corn.
Drinking water for the fowls in winter
should bo tepid, not cold, and always
fresh and clean.
A chick should weigh a pound when
nvo weeks old. The average is s pound
at six weeks old.
Milk may be given to the chickens but
shonldbe fresh and the residuum carefully
removed, but do not substitute it for
water.
Feed very early in the morning as
soou us the chicks come out ot the
brooders. Never keep them waiting for
breakfast.
After the first week any kind of food,
such as mashed potatoes cooked tur
nips, crumbled bread of any kind, or
any wholesome food, will be of advantage
to chicks.
It is the casein left in the butter that
causes it to sour and spoil. Remove
all of the casein and pure butter will
keep sweet and fresh indefinitely if pro
tected from the air.
Tho cow that the farmer wants is one
that will yield him a good proSt with
ordinary care. He has no disposition
to put a cow to bed and tuck her in, or
to feed her on gruel.
Choice beef cattle that are considerably
above the average quality can always
be sold at a very good price a short
time before the holidays. But they
must be in prime condition.
The man who complains that his cow
are unruly can be safely set down as a
poor farmer, and very often he is a cruel
one, who deserves punishment. Most
unruly cows are made so by hunger.
One good and effectual remedy to re
move worts from a cow's teats is tc wait
uutil she is dry, them wash thein thor
oughly with a solution of sal ammoniac
and camphor; before she becomes fresh
they will have entirely disappeared.
When ten days old the rolled oats may,
be omitted aud wheat one day and
cracked corn the next may be used. Be
gin to teach chicks to eat wheat and'
cracked corn early by sprinkling a little
on the floor (about a tablcspoonf ul daily)
alter they are a week old.
Barrels of fruit, well carted, should
be placed on the sido and not stood on
end, for the jolting of the wagon tends
to settle the fruit and make it loose in
the barrels. The more carefully the
fruit is sorted and honestly packed the
greater will be the prout.
Hed clover and orchard grass ripen
about the same time, timothy ripening
about three weeks later. At clover and
timothy do not ripen together, it will be
worthy of an experiment to use orchard
grass aud clover on some soils. Timothy
aud clover give the largest yield, now
ever, and will be used in preference by
the majority for that reason, though the
two kinds (clover and timothy) would b
more suitable if ripening at the sami
time.
An Emperor's Interest lu Electricity ,
It is stated that the German Emperor :
contemplates the application of elec--!
tricityin many ways in his palace at
Berliu. While on his recent visit to
England he paid a visit to Lord Salis-'

scientific turn, beside being an cxculleut
electrician, aud has personally superm-i
tended some notable improvements ou

eration of electricity by turbines, the
river Lea bciug utilized for the purpose;
motors for driving pumps, inukiug ice
uud working air propellers for veutila-
iug purposes; raising hay aud corn
sheaves to the top of the stacks by elec
tricity, and by the same means thronhiug,
cutting rough grass for ensilage, grind
ing coin, making fodder, driving piles,
constructing coffer dams, dredging and
pumping sewage for irrigation. Thj
German Emperor is said to havo exam

piece of machinery at Haitield with the
greatest interest and admiration, and to
have become so convinced of the economy
and efficiency of electrical appliances as
to decide on utilizing them to the great

was a suggestion of tho novelist Tolntol, the
church authorities at once established a
supervision over them, with the special ob
ject of preventing tho benevolent lady and
her husband from reading Tolstoi's works,
or any heretical books to the peasant on
Sunduy. But the philanthropic couple do
not mind this, and continue their good work
undisturbed.

ployes, at least while on duty, so doei much
of the modern, complicated lalttr-saving
machinery emphasize the louon of absti

this subject, refers to the old days when a
man could una liquor freoly, "and all that
bnppenod wa that the tool he was moving
stopped when hi arm stopped," and says:
"Hut ho cannot be fuddled now whea he Is

costly machine of the factory npon whioh

attention has recently been Cilled to the
case of a foreman in one of the largest print

of rare skill and genius, who ha oocaaion
nlly yielded to drink, with serious loas to
his employer, and who, though holding hi

SKMOUS FACTS'.
We reproduce here an extract from an ad
dress recently delivered by Rev. Hush
Montgomery before the Massachusetta Total
Abstinence Society:
"Let me call your attention to the curss
ot intemperance. You well know ardent
spirits are lilliui; tha channels of death to
overflowing. This is the master sin of our
ntate, the giant ovil, the burning; curse. It
is probably not too much to say that this
siuglo evil is inflicting more injury upon t'.ie
physical, intellectual, moral and eternal in
terests of our State than all other evils com
bined together. Yes, marahal all in on
dread army, under oue flay, all the ju Ifr
ments that ever desolated this world of Bin
and death blasting, mildew, hailstorms,
tornodoes, earthquakes, epidemics, famine,
war, conflagrations, shipwrecks, rapine,
and murder the leal'ied liquor tralllu ha
cursed more than all these plagues com
bined. This monster ha had this world for
his home, "the flesh" for a mother, the devil
for a father. Ho has no eyes and cannot see.
He has no ears aud canuot hear. He has
a coil by which to bind. He ha a fang by
which he stings. Look at the million wreck
that Btagger and doz aud leer, and bloat
ami fester, and full dowu undor the curs
of iuteuipereuoe. Of the 80.000 that yearly
till a drunkard's grave; ot the 2,000,000 o nil
dren that are left worse than orphans; of the
3,000,OUO of women, who have a mill (ton
tied aliout their necks and are brought to
shame aud disgrace; of the 500,000 that arc
yearly sent to the poorhouse; of auother
500,000 of convicts annually sent to Jail; ot
UOO.000 annually bequeathed to public char
it) ; of tho looO murder that horrify the
ear; of the 2oo0 rape that are committed by
the demon."
