Giant TrfM of OllfornU.
. Hie fame of the "big trees" of Cali
fornia is world-wide, but they are not,
m many who have never Tisited the
Slope suppose, scattered atl over the
Golden Slate and in plain view of every
railroad station between Salt I.nko City
nd San Francisco. Neither were they
known to the first settlers who braved
the dangers of a trip around the Horn,
or the greater dangers of an overland
journey to the new Eldorado. The first
white man who is known to have gazed
upon the sylvan mnnarcbs was a trapper
by the name of Down, who accidently
discovered what is now known as the
Calaveras Grove, in 1852. After the
Calaveras Grove, which is in the county
of the same name, the only other con
siderable growth of them are in Mariposa
County, where in an area two miles
square there aro 427 of these monster
trees from 275 to 340 feet in height and
from twenty-five to forty feet in dia
meter, and another grove known as the
Fresno Grove, which contains some 600
trees, the largest eighty one feet in dia
meter. Placer County, fifty miles north
of Calaveras, also has a small grove of
these giant redwoods. The largest tree
in the Calaveras Grove is about 350 feet
high and measures forty-five feet in dia
meter six feet above the ground. 'The
Grizzly Giant," the pride ol Mariposa
County, is ninety-three feet in diameter
at the ground, and sixty-four feet five
yards higher up. Just think ofitl A
tree that would make a square block of
wood as large as the average 8t. Louis
building lot I Their leaves are awl-shaed
needles, and the cones which grow upon
them (these trees are coniferous) are as
big as two-gallon jugr, being in all
other particulars almost perfect counter
Darts of the common pine cones. The
Grizzly Giant has the greatcstcircumfcr
ence of any tree now known to exist.
There are but two trees in the world
taller than Mariposa's 350-foot prize
taker. 'I hey are of the "blue gum"
variety, aro 460 feet in height and may
be found near Quclnrup on the Black
wood River in West Australia. St.Louis

Horses With Sixteen Toes.
The orohippus, the ancestor of the
noble horse of to-day, is first known to
have existed in the eocene period of ge
ological epochs. Rome ot the species
were as small as the common lilvcr fox
of to-day, and all had sixteen hoofs, four
on each foot, just like the cow brutes of
the pieent age. After long ages had
elapsed the creature became a three toed
representative of animal creation; later
on he had a single split hoof, or eight
toes altogether. The perfected equino
of the present may be said to walk on
its middle toe nail, the twelve others
which his ancestor, the orobippu,
had having been "evoluted" out of ex
istence. St. Louis Republic.

VIOLETS.
There is a great diversity of opinion
as to the best methods ot outdoor culti
vation for violets. T. D. Halficd says
in the Garden and Forest:
"My experience has shown that violets
luxuriate iu rich soil, plenty of moisture
and full exposure. Some growers take
their stock plants in wintor, try rooting
tho runners, which is a good plan when
there is dauger of disease, but generally
old plants are divided iuto two or three
crowns. Until last year I had kept all
runners clear off during summer, but I
found where a few had been left, when
transplanted into the flowering bed along
with the old plant, they bloomed well,
and will make very good plants for out
doors this season."
HUES IN THE ATTIC.
Mnke a small, dark, frost-proof room
about 4x6 feet, as may suit your conveni
ence, in tho upper part of the house.
Erect a scaffold inside of this room
about four foot high, nnd within six
inches tf the side where you wish the
entrance, which should be about six
inches wide by one-half inch high. This
may bo enlarged or contracted to suit
the season of the year. These entrauces
should be on that sido of the house
which is used the least, for bees some
times get too familiar. Now put the
hive ou the scaffold, about six inches
from the entrance. Make a little board
for them to travel out aud in on. A
hive should contain about 2000 cubic
inches and have holes iu tho bottom. It
is said that bees will seldom swarm from
such a place, and will winter well there,
even in as cold a climate as Wisconsin.
Of course further north the roam must
be warmer. Bees will build comb under
the hive in large quantities in favorable
Beasons in such a room, and the owner
when he wants honey may go with a
light placed at one side, smoke the bees
and cut off what honey ho wants. This
plan is not a mere "castle in the air,"
but a practical one. American Bee
Journal.
CULTIVATION AND MOISTURE.
Moisture is one of the essential and
most necessary requirements for plant
growth, but from the general habit of
relying upon seasonable rains for a sup
ply too little attention is often given to
conserving and making use of what the
ground already contains. Thus the dif
ference between waiting for rain in a
dry time and "catching" the moisture
by frequent cultivation, which without it
would escape from the soil into the at
mosphere, may often be measured by the
difference between success and failure.
There are but few seasons so nnfnvnr.
able from drouth that a stirring of the
soil frequently while it contiuues will
not greatly mitigate its effects. By this
process moisture is saved to tho plants
in two wavs: 1. If cultivation ia hamm
in early morning the dewfull of the pre
vious nigni is captured ana paitly saved.
2. The moisture remaining deeply in
the soil in a dry time is always ascend
ing towards the surface, to bo quickly
evaporated into the air. Henna thn
hard, dry crust always found at such
times whero the grouud is left uudis-
turned, uy oiten pulverizing the sur
face a mulch is found whir.h arrnsta thn
moisture ascending by capillary attraction
ana noius it at tne ngnt point to be ab
sorbed by the roots of plauU. New
York World.
A PERFECT SOD.
The meadows and pastures of this
country do not produce half what they
should. Walking over aa average well
seeded field one finds many bare places,
or only saved from bareness by the in
evitable weeds which occupy where the
valuable grasses have failed. Part of
this failure comes frcix imperfect prep
aration of the seed LjJ and deficiency
of seed sown. Besides', there is not
enough variety of grass to secure the
largest crop. Two, three or four kinds
growing together will yield a greater
amount of hay and of better quality thun
any one alone. Wo have often thought
that if farmers knew the value of thor
ough seeding they would take greater
pains to secure it. Not long ago we saw
such a field kept as pasture for a herd of
Jersey cows. The land had been close
cropped iu the full, but the young green
herbage was already starting. All the
droppiugs from last year's pasturing had
been knocked iu pieces and scattered
over tho sward. It was soft and springy,
as if one walked on velvet, and not a
bare place nor a weed was to be seou ex
cept near the fence, where same shade
trees had led to trampling the grassroots
immediately around them. The field had
been seeded two years after two years'
cropping with potatoes well mauured
As the cows pastured are eruiu-fed be
side, the fertility of the soil constautly
iucreoses. After another year it is the
purpose of the owner to plow aud reseed
after growing auother potuto crop.
Uostou Cultivator.
OliOWINO SOtlUHl'M.
It is important to plant sorghum caue
under as favorable couditionsas passible.
It makes a slow growth as best at fit,
and when planted with the soil wet,
cold and ill prepared the seed is slow to
germinate, while the plants make a very
unsatisfactory growth. In nearly all
cases it will puy to wait uutil the soil
is reasonably dry aud warmed up before
pluntiug the sued, aud then if the seed
is of a good quality aud the soil is in
a good tilth a quicker and better ger
miuation will be secured.
It pays to harrow or work the soil well
before planting. When the plants first
come up they are small and tender, aud
as they grow slowly the weeds will often
got the best start before the cultivation
can be commenced.
The seed need very little c g, and
if to be sown by hand c be
taken to run the furrows o., cry ial
low in ordor to avoid covering too deep.
One of the advantages in using the drill
in planting is that the seed can be dis
tributed more cvonly in the rows and be
covered at a more uniform depth, two
important items in securing a good, even
stand. Whon the seed is sown by hand
it will aid in securing a quicker germina
tion if the sed is moistened and allowed
to stand twelve hours before planting.
Have the rows aboat three and a half
feet apart, so as to give plenty of room
to cultivato. One advantage in planting
an early variety is that it will ripen, and
can be worked up out of the way before
the fall work, like sowing wheat and
cutting up the corn, becomes pressing.
In many cases it will pay to roll the
ground after planting the seed, as it
helps to make a better germination, and
also fixes the soil in a hotter condition
for commencing the cultivation. As with
nearly all other crops the harrow can
nearly always be used to good advantage
in commencing tho cultivation. In no
other way can the weods be destroyed
and the soil be fined so close around the
plants. Often two harrowings can be
given with profit and then the cultivator
can be used. Iu an average season two
harrowings nnd three good cultivations
will be all that is uccessary ; as often the
plants mnke a sufficient growth to shade
the ground, very little cultivation will
be needed.
It is the early cultivation that is the
most importaut, aud tho more thorough
ly this is given the better will be the re
sults. Care should be taken not to al
low the plants to stand too thick. St.
Louis Republic.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Cleanliness is the key to success in
poultry raising.
Early sown beets make a good feed for
the hens and chjekens.
Whole wheat aud corn mixed form the
best graiu food for fowls.
Fowls to do best should have a plenti
ful supply of earth, grass and gravel.
The best plan is to feed the poultry
only so much as can be eaten up clean.
Regularity in management is as im
portant in poultry raising as regularity
in feeding; both are necessary.
A good farm-yard fowl must have
stamina and vigor, as it is supposed to
pick up a good portion of its living.
If you leave the stable doors open these
nights be sure the granery door and feed
boxes are safely closed and fastened.
Fowls are so provided that they can
grind any kind of food eaten. It is not
strictly necessary to grind their food for
them.
On tho majority of farms durinar the
spring, at least, there is more or less milk
that can be fed to the hogs to an advan
tage. The farmer that cannot mako hand
some profit with poultry when he has
good stock and gives them good care is
an exception.
Sour feed is no better for pigs than for
other animals, and many diseases can be
traced to its use. Among these are black
teeth and bliud staggers.
Both Yorkshire and Suffolk pigs are
white, but tho Yorkshire is heavier,
stouter, and has a very short snoot. Its
hair is longer and coarser.
It is often the case that if tho hens are
well fed during tho spring and summer
they will moult early in the season and
make good wiuter layers.
There is no danger of the chicks
crowding on top of each other in the
brooder if the temperature is kept even.
It is when they get cold that they crowd.
It is a wise farmer who diversifies the
food for all bis stock as much as pos
sible. A small patch planted to carrots
will come good for the horses this
winter. '
It experimenting with sugar beets, do
not try to grow large ones. The sugar
decreases as the size increases. One
pound to If pounds eaH is large
enough.
Careful statisticl which we have
recently examiued show that the white
corns produce larger yields than the yel
low. Most fur mora hold to a different
opinion. '
The farm team may be left to go bare
foot. When the shoes become loose
take them off carefully, aud hang whore
they may be easily gotten when needed
next fall.
It is folly to talk about wheat pro
ducing "cheat." Like produces like,
aud wheat produces wheat. Cheat or
chess coine3 up because you don't have
clean seed.
A bare lot, hard floor, hard ear corn
nnd water, are not the most profitable
pork producers at this time of the year,
especially if you have month old pigs to
work with.
Properties of the Teak.
The teak, which has passed into pro.
verb us the best material for shipbuild
ing, is superior to all other woods, from
the fact that it coutaius au usseutial oil
which preveuts spikes aud nails driven
iuto it from rusting. This property is
uot possessed by auy other wood in the
world, aud furuishes an explanation of
the fact that ships built of teak are prac
tically indestructible. Somo have been
known to last for 150 years, and when
broken up their beams were as gouud as
when first put together. Indiauapolia

THK RUM POWIR IN CHICAGO.
The city council of Chicago took its own
measure the other tiny and put it on record.
Au ordinance hnd been introduced provid
ing that a snloou should not be opened in a
residence block without the consent ot a
mnjority ot the property owners.
Every reputable daily of the city had
strongly approved the proposed ordinance
ns lieing every way right and reasonable.
The right of people in a residence bloc t to
such protection from the intrusion of a
liquor saloon was declared to be one which
ought to be respect!. When, however, it
came to a vote, out of sixty-eight alder
men only sevcuteen voted for it. That is the
moral attitude of the Chicago council. The
grog shop dominates everything. Citizens
have no nghtx which the ruin power need
respect, is this the kind of council that is to
rule Chicago during the World's FairP Here
is a tremendously ominous fact which the
Christian torcesof the city will have to look
square in the luce. A considerable number
ot tho cotincilmen are themselves saloon
keepers, but nil ot them the seventeen ex
cepted hive snapped the tinker in the face
of the public defiantly. That there is any
necessity thnt this state of things should
always continue, no one believes. The better
and decenter order of thing will come iu
when "good citiiens" show by what they
combine to do that they really are good cit

FROM FATURR TO SON.
A few months ago I was present In Dr.
Gander's consulting room, watching the
prisoners from the depot filing past. We
were informed that a child had been brought
by its parents to be examined. Them
people were shown ir ; they belonged to the
respectable working class, and were quiet
and well mannered. The man was driver of
a dray belonging to one of the railway
stations, nnd had all the appearance of a
stalwart working man. The bov waa
scarcely 5jx yrars old, be had an intelligent,
rather pretty face, aud was neatly dressed.
"See here," said the father, "we have
brought you our boy; he alarms us. He is
no foul; he begins to" ffead; they are satisfied
with him at his school, but we cannot help
thinking he must be insane, for he wants to
murder his little brother, a child of two
years old. The other day he nearly sue
ceeded in doing so. I arrived just in time to
snatch my razor from his hands."
Tne boy stood listening witn indifference
and without hanging his head. The doctor
drew the child kindly toward him and in
quirerV. "Is ft true that you wish to hurt your
little broth err"
With perfect cotnpo;ur9 the little one re
plied: "I will kill him; yes, yea, I will kill
him I"
The doctor glanced at the father and
asked in a low voice:
"Do you drink?"
The wife exclaimed indignantly!
"He, sir I Why, he never enteri a public
house, and has never come home druuk."
They were quite sincere. Nevertheless
the doctor said -
"Stretch out your arm."
The man obeyed; his band trembled. Had
these people told Ilea, then, in stating that
the man had never come home the worse for
drin f No; but all through the day, when
ever ha had called to leave a package, the
people of the house had giveu him some
thing to drink for his trouble. He had be
come a drunkard without knowing it, an I
the poison that hnd entered bis bloo.l was
at this moment tilling the bead of his little
child with the dreams of an assassin. Sacred

A Japanese journal, describing th'e
manner in which witnesses are sworn and
evidence taken in native courts of
justice, says that with the Jnpancse any
thing to which a man affixes his seal is
considered more sacred than what he
may say. Hcnco each witness is required
to make declaration to the effect thnt
with a mind free from bins In favor of or
against cither of the litigating parties,
and with perfect fnirnoss, he will give
evidence, and after this 1ms been read
out by the Recorder of thb court and
handed to the witness in tho form of a
document, the latter is expected to affix
his seal to it. The same plan is adopted
with the staloment of facts which, in tho
courso of tho examination ho undorgocs,
a witness makes in court. The purport
of his evidence is written out by the Re
corder, and before leaving the court he
is required to make what corrections aro
necessary to render the written state
ment a trustworthy record of his evidence
and to guarantee its correctness by affix
ing his seal. Though this process occu
pies a good deal of time, it precludes
the possibility of the evidence eiven
being incorrectly reported, which, in
trials where the decision of tho court de
pends largely on oral evidence, is a
matter of much moment. London
