Tlis Fopulation of Palestine.
The promulgation of an order of the
Turkish Government restricting im
migration into Palestine has led to in
quiry as to what is tho cause of such a
measure. By the census taken
previous to the last one the census
of 1856 there were 1,200,000 in
habitants of Palestine, and the popu
lation at that tiruo was considered
stationary. By the last estimate the
population of Palestine was 2,711,000,
and this increase was shown in the
large cities as well as in the country
districts. Ten years ago there were
15,000 residents in Jaffa; to-day there
are nearly 60,000. The present popu
lation of Damascus is 150,000, and of
Jerusalem 41,000. Since the Hussion
persecutions of the Jews there has
been a large immigration into Pales
tine from llussia, and the increase of
population his been further augmented
by the agitation of Zionism. New

Sngar-Heet Leaves and Tops.
The beet leaves and that part of the
beet cut off in "topping" are consid
ered very valuable for feeding. It
has been discovered, however, as
stated in the special Government re
port on the sugar beet indtutry, that
this course has a tendency to exhaust
the soil, and it is better to allow the
tops and leaves to remain on the field
to act as a fertilizer and thus preserve
the soil. Much of the more valuable
part of the elements contained in the
sugar beet which the soil needs for
recuperation is the top and leaves.
This fact has become so thoroughly
well known to the factories of this
country that some of them even stipu
late in tbe contracts with the farmer
that the leaves and tops shall remain
on the ground, which seems to be a
wise provision. Connecticut Farmer.
Treatment of Trees After Felling.
If timber is to remain in the log as
export timber, etc., peel, cover the
the ends with cheap paint and always
place on skids. Work up any kind of
timber as soon as possible. Never
leave any wood, not even cordwood,
piled on the ground. Raise it ou
crosspieces, and, if it is valuable mate
rial, such as wagon or other stock,
pile with care, give to all parts of the
pile a chance for circulation of air, and
if possible cover the pile to shut out
the direct sun. Thick material must
have thick crosspieces, and all sawed
material given to warping must be
piled with special oare. The cross
pieces must be ample in thickness as
well as in number, and must be regu
larly placed.
In ordiuary yard seasoning, "one
year for every inch in thickness" is an
old rule. Inch stuff of hard woods
can be seasoned well by air drying six
months and then placing them in dry
kiln or hot room. Conifers of all kinds
can be dried very well by plaoing in
dry kiln fresh from the saw. Dry-kiln
seasoning disinfects lumber and
thereby does much to increase dura
bility (E. B. Fernow, Circular 20 for
estry division, United States Depart
ment of Agricultural). Immersion in
water for safe storage of wood is an
old custom. It also improves the sap
wood, since it allows tho nitrogenous
materials and part of the carbohy
drates to be removed by fermentation
without admitting the real wood-destroying
fungi. Boiling and steam
ing, it is claimed, serve a similar pur
pose, and that all water treatments
facilitate seasoning. Experiments on
a large scale have not proven encour
aging in this respect. The common
assertion that rafting aud hot-water
treatment injure the wood by reducing
its strength is entirely unsubstantia
ted. Long-time immersion hastens
the darkening of wood. American
Agriculturist.
Berry Culture.
Every farmer should raise enough
berries to supply the family all the
year. There is nothing more delicious
and healthy than strawberries, rasp
berries and blackberries, and no other
crop on the farm pays as well for the
small outlay and the land they re
quire. September is tho month to
plant them, and when this is properly
done a good crop can be grown the
first year.
A northern slope that will drain
well is best. A great many make the
mistake of getting the soil too rich for
strawberries, and get a big crop of
vines with very little fruit. Land that
will grow a good crop of corn is just
right, and when properly planted and
cultivated will always produce plenty
of fine berries. The soil should be
cleared of all weeds and rubbish, well
pulverized with disk or cultivator and
harrow, and then plowed deep and
thoroughly pulverized after plowing.
Mark rows three feet apart, and set
the plants in deep, patting a half pint
of water with each plant, and packing
the dirt firmly around the roots. Late
in the fall they should be mulched
with clean straw, marsh hay or corn
stalks. In the spring hoe or cultivate
shallow, but not after the plants be
gin blooming, as it will cause them to
rust.
For raspberries the soil cannot be
made too rich, and should be plowed
or spaded to a depth of at least four
teen inches. Set the plants four feet
each way, aud keep the young canes
pinched back to three feet, which will
make them branch out. In the fall
mulch with manure.
I have tried bcth spring and fall
planting in different Stateti, and I
much prefer the latter. Farmers are
not pushed with work as they are in
the Hpring, and are thus abletodevote
more time to preparing the soil and
getting the plants. Then, too, the
plants get nicely settled, and will nine
times out of ten produce a good crop
the following season. Don't neglect
the berry patch; it will pay, and pay
well. It. T. Patterson, in Aew York
Tribune.
Little Things in Managing Incubators.
If a man is about to start using an
incubator for the first timo it will be
well for him to look after some of the
little things thnt have so much to do
with the success or failure in band
ling these adjuncts to poultry rais
ing. One of the things that should be
looked after carefully is the regula
tion of the heating apparatus and the
record of the same by the thermome
ters. It is best for a mau to practice
with the incubator without eggs in it
till he is sure that he can control tho
heat. ' We believe it is a mistake for
any amateur to go ahead at oiice with
eggs in the drawer without knowing
whether he can keep the temperature
uniform.
In looking at the thermometer each
time, do so quickly, as a draft of cold
air will quickly cool off the air inside
of the incubator.
Another thing that will be of inter
est to note will bo tbe relative heat
compared with the outside tempera
ture. Some incubators are so care
fully and thouioughly built that the
outside temperature has little efWt
on them. There are others, however,
that seem to be greatly affected by
the general state of the weather. This
is of great moment, as, if it be found
that an incubator responds too quick
ly to outside influences it will be nec
essary to place it in the cellar ot
some other place where the tempera
ture is uniform, or at least changes
but slowly.
We believe there is less danger of
the eggs being injured by too little
heat than by too much. We have
seen hens leave their nests in the
early spring and stay away till it
seemed that the eggs must all be
chilled, and yet the same biddies
would bring' out a full brood of
chicks from the eggs so treated.
As to the thermometer, be sure that
it is correct. There will be no gain
in saving money on a cheap ther
mometer and losing it in a whole
drawer of eggs. If a cheap thermom
eter can be obtained that is reliable,
it will be as good as one that is ex
pensive, but see to it that it is in
every way reliable, no matter what it
costs. Farmers' Beview.
Fall Flowing- Best For Dry Weather.
During the autumn of 1806 I broke
up thirty acres of wheat stubble about
eight inches deep and left it until
spring. As soon as it was dry enougb
to harrow in April I pulverized the
top to the depth of about four inches
and planted tbe field to corn in check
rows. It came irregularly on account
of the cold weather, but I finally got
a good stand and commenced to plow
with walking cultivator as soon as the
rows could be followed. It was
plowed four times with the cultivator.
The last plowing was done about July
1, just when the drouth set in. There
was not visible a handful of weeds in
the whole field and the top soil was aa
loose and pliable as one could desire.
Now after one of the severest and
most protractod drouths ever experi
enced in this country, I am gathering
about fifteen bushels of corn, most of it
sound but small eared, to the acre,
instead of fifty bushels, which the same
preparation had given before.
Notwithstanding the small yield to
the acre I feel as though I had learned
a profitable lesson, whioh will in the
future pay me more than the cost of
this orop of corn.
Just across a fence from this field J
plowed another that had been in olover
and grass for about seven years. This
field was prepared as near like the
other as I could determine and was
cultivated about as well, but I am
gathering only about ten bushels of
corn to the acre instead of forty or
fifty. I really thought this latt field
would give the best yield on account
of the long rest. The difference in
the field in fall breaking over the
spring breaking according to my
opinion is wholly due to the packing
of the soil by the winter and heavy
spring rains, thus enabling the coarse
litter at the bottom of the furrow to
not only absorb water, but to hold it
like a sponge and give it out slowly.
The cultivator did not disturb the soil
more than about four inohes in either
field, but the litter in the field that
was spring fallowed got as wet as the
other, but being more loose and open
gave the moisture away faster. This
latter field fired badly, but the autumn
plowed field remained green and dried
np gradually. Heretofore I did fall
breaking solely to forward my spring
work, but from now on I expeot to
break all the corn land I can in the
autumn, believing I can get a better
yield any year than from spring break
ing, and some of my neighbors are
doing the same after watohing this
field grow during the protracted
drouth. T. H. Ditts, in Orange
Judd Farmer.
Farm and Garden Motes.
Harvest all weeds before ripe.
Cabbages which fail to head np well
should be set aside in the fall for the
hens.
Animals suffer just as muoh from
the use of water that is foul as would
human beings.
Fall hatohed chickens may be kept
two years for laying with better profit
than those hatched in the spring.
Gather the seeds of vegetables as
soon as ripe. Nothing is gained and
many of the best seeds are lost by
being left out in the rain and wind.
Let no vegetables go to waste be
tween the family, the oows, the horses
and the chickens, to say nothing of
the pigs, there ought to be no waste
of green stuff.
Where crops are taken from the
garden the space may be sown to oats
or rye, whioh will keep the ground
clear of weeds and add to the fertility
when turned under this fall or next
spring.
The maturity of fruits such as apples,
grapes, oranges and pears, may be
hastened by exposing them to com
paratively high temperatures. This
may be retarded by cold storage at a
temperature of thirty-two degrees
Fahrenheit.
New Power In Warfare.
It is well known that nitrate of
amyl possesses the power of causing
insensibility very quickly in a human
being breathing its fumes. The effect
is equivalent, temporarily, to a
paralytio stroke. It is very cheap and
plentiful, and Edward Weston, the
electrician, proposes to use shells
filled with the chemical instead of gun
powder. He argues that a few gallons
of this nitrate dashei on the deck of
a war ship would soon render the crew
helpless.
