Disponing of Wood A«l»e*.
If there is no receptacle for wood
ashes the best thing to do with them
is to broadcast them around the trees.
Ashes contain both lime and potash
with a small proportion of phosphor
ic acid, and they benefit all kinds of
trees, showing excellent effects for
several years.
To Tell (lie Aire of
According to good authority a new
laid egg placed in brine made in the
proportion of two ounces of salt to one
pint of water, will at once sink to the
bottom. An egg one day old will sink
below the surface, but not to the bot
rom, while one three days old will
swim just immersed. If more than
three days old the egg will float or the
surface, the amourt of shell exposed
increasing with age, and if two weeks
only, only a little of the shell will
dip in the liquid.
A Plow .nil.
When shallow plowing, at the same
lepth is continued for a series of
years, if it is a clay soil, a solid
plowsoil will be made that is to a
greater or less degree, impenetrable
to roots. Plowing should always be
as deep as the soil will permit, and
there is a signal advantage in loosen
ing up the subsoil of clay lands with
a subsoilei. It is not wholly uncom
mon to find a farmer raising good
rrops on heavy clay soil, while his
neighbor, with the same kind of soil,
and with similar cultivation, raises
poor crops. The difference is often the
result of the different depth of plow
ing. The successful crop grower
plows as deeply as the soil will allow;
the other man has been plowing shal
low until he has made a packed sub
soil of a portion of his fertile soil.
The latter is a method that wastes
'ertility. Turn up all the good soil,
unless it is several feet in depth as
you find in some of the far western
states and even in some portions of
Minnesota.—J. W. Scott, in the Epito
mist
Growins Apples Successfully.
Good apple trees can be grown on
almost any rich soil, but one rich in
potash is best suited for fruit grow
!ing. If time were no object I would
prefer to grow my trees from the seed.
Get pomace from the cider mill, wash
out the seeds and dry them. About
one peck of seed can be secured from
100 bushels of pomace. Prepare a plot
thoroughly and sow about 25 seeds
to the running foot, having previously
soaked them in warm water. When
the trees are two or three years old,
graft or bud with the varieties de
sired. Grafting seems to be most pop-
Vl]<J4\ but I prefer budding. When the
trees are five years old, they are ready
to set in the orchard.
For the first few years but little
pruning is necessary, the aim being to
produce a tree that will head near the
ground. Such trees bear earliest and
are most easily picked. Give the young
trees frequent, shallow cultivation. 1
like to turn hogs in the orchard. Trees
seem to thrive under these conditions.
If near a good market early apples arc
the most profitable. Grow those with
good flavor of fair size and fine ap
pearance. Get the trees to bearing
while young, as old trees are not prof
itable. Watch for the borer.
In my opinion it make little differ
ence whether the trees are produced
'n the north or south. After the bloom
is secured the character of the blos
som determines largely the character
of the fruit. Il" the blossoms are open
and the stamens prominent fertilza
tion is much more likely to occur.
Trees which produce closed blossoms
*nre of little value. Pick and pack
winter apples tightly in barrels. They
seem to keep best when put up in this
way. I know an orchard which last
year paid the owner $122 per acre.—
J. J. Blaekwell, in American Agricul
turist.
How to Yard Fowls,
Never shut up a flock of fowls in a
small inclosure, thinking you will get
any good returns from them. A dozen
fowls should have at least a yard 100
feet square. The yard or yards may
be more convenient by making them
narrow and longer, according to cir
cumstances. Use two-inch mesh poul
:ry netting, four feet wide, with a
board at the bottom, but none at the
top. This bottom board or boards, is
better two feet high, and thus pre
vents the males from fighting through
the wire, but any width board is bet
ter than none at all, for with it you
can better stretch the wire, and make
a better job of fencing. It i3 not nec
essary to use a higher fence, or wire
more than four feet, but no board
must be used on tcp or the fowls will
fly up on the top board and get out.
If a chance bird gets over this fence,
crop her wings by cutting only the
long stiff flight feathers from the last
joint of wing.
If possible when making yards en
close all the shade trees you can got
in them. If trees are not already in
them, loose no time putting them
there. A mulberry thicket of the Rus
sian variety is the ideal tree for fowls,
as the fowls love the leaves and the
Immense crop of berries they bear.
We have a mulberry hedge through
our yards and the low branches spread
out near the ground 10 feet or more,
and 'he leaves are stripped up by the
fo*vle and the shade is perfection. It
is true that the poultry yard is a good
pia-'e for fruit trees and fruit, but we
can also have as many fruit trees in it
as it will accommodate, beside the
Btulberiios.
To have these yards arranged just !
right we should have a large enclos- j
ure adjoining well set down in clover, |
or grass of any kind, alfalfa clover be- 1
ing the best, or bokhara clover, which '
I think is equally as good, and thus
let out each flock on this grass run
every day a while. Fowls will do
lully as well in every respect and in
deed beuer, when thus properly yard
ed. than if running at large. The egg
output is largely increased by yard
ing properly.—A. H. Duff, in Farm
Field and Fireside.
r»e Minn in t)<« Fall.
The fall season is believed to be
♦he best for using linie. Every farmer '
understands that lime gives good re- |
suits, but the action of lime in tl.e '
soil differs according xo the texture i
of the soil and the amount of mineral |
and organic matter contained. Lime
is considered an alkali, and therefore
keeps the soil sweet by neutralizing
acids which arise from the decay of
animal and vegetable matter in the ,
soil Mr. A. Peets, in England, who i
has done much to attiact attention to !
the use of lime, states that lime, by I
keeping the soil sweet, enables the i
germs in the soil, both those which j
convert humus into ammonia an J |
those which convert ammonia into ni
tric acid, to carry on the work which j
tannot be done in a sour soil. The
carbonic acid being the product of the
existence of the bacteria, it is as in
jurious to the existence of their veil
being as the impurities of a vitiated
atmosphere are to the well being of
the high types of animals. When ni
tric acid is formed by the nitrifying
fcerms in the soil it unites with the !
lime to form nitrate of lime when oth- j
erwise it would be given off into the
air. In the same way lime serves to
preserve in the soil the soluble phos- I
phates by converting them into water |
foluble and citrate soluble phosphates. ]
Also the potash, by converting it intD
carbonate of potash, both of which i
valuable plant foods would be lost j
to a certain extent by drainage. A jit- \
dicious application of lime also de
stroys many insect pests, which hiber
nate in the soil. Lime, in its dry state
is very friable, and serves to disinte
grate city lands in much the same way
as burnt earth, thus being of assist
ance in rendering the soil lighter. No
matter how fertile the soil may be,
one of the main advantages in using
lime is that it fits the soil for the
work of the organisms which derivj
nitrogen from the atmosphere, which J
explains, to a certain extent, why lira J j
benefits clover and other leguminous I
plants.
Though not regarded as entitled to
a place in the list of available fertil
izers. yet lime is a plant food, exis*-
ing in nearly all soils, and is found j
in the ash of nearly all plants. In ■
the soil it sets free and renders avail |
able other plant foods, also serving to |
store up n •.te' ini in 'he soil and |
prevent its loss by washing away. No j
soil can be considered well manured !
with economy unless there is a sufti- j
ciency of lime present to get a maxi
mum of efficiency out of the manure, j
't is claimed that there should be at 1
least one-hall percent of lime present
in any soil or one part in two hun- j
dred. To test for lime put some of |
the soil in an ordinary tumbler or test !
Lube, pour in a little water and stir |
.veil and then po"ur in a little muri
atic acid. If it effervesces freely ti e !
soil contains sufficient lime, but if ef- j
fervescence is feeble, or is not appar- I
ent, the soil requires lime. When lime j
is applied it should be in a very fine I
condition, air slaked, and should be |
distributed evenly by broadcasting I
over the surface of the soil. There I
ure implements made for performing
such work. The tendency ot lime is to
go down into the soil: hence it is not
necessary to work it in with a har
row. It should not be left in piles in
the fields, if it can be avoided, as it
may prove injurious on locations
where it is heaped. From 10 to 40
bushels of air slaked lime are used per j
acre, the quantity depending upon the I
soil and conditions, a larger proportion j
being used when the lime Is applied I
at the time of plowing under a green
inanurial crop.
As lime is slow in its effect on most
soils, the benefits derived from its use
may not be apparent for months, for
which reason it is broadcasted in tho
fall so as to allow as much time as
possible for it to remain in the soil,
the land being plowed in the spring.
It gives excellent results when used
with green manorial crops, being used
on the plowed ground when the crop
is turned under, but as the soil may
lose some of its soluble plant food dur
ing the winter if leit uncovered, it
is the practice with some to sow r>e
on the plowed ground, turning the rye
under early in the spring. Gas lime
if. also sometimes used, but being sul
phide and sulphite of lime, and being
very different trom air slaked lime
it does not give the same results, and
may prove injurious if used in very
large quantities.. Gas lime does not
assist nitrification, and is not there
fore as valable as may be supposed,
though it is a powerful insecticide.
It Is not necessary to apply lime every
year. Some soils require only an oc
casional application. If applied every
year the quantity should be small, not
exceeding 10 bushels per acre, and
even then it should not be used every
year on the same land except when a
green crop is plowed under, the lime
then assisting to neutralize the acids
in the soil. Lime is not a substitute
for manures or fertilizers; in fact, if
lime is used there Is all the more need
for manure or fertilizer, as the advan
tage held by lime over the fertilizer
salts is its chemical and mechanical
effect on the soil. It gives good re
sults wherever used, is cheap compared
with its real value, and should be used
by a larger number of farmers. —Phil-
adelphia Record.
SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY
' The British war office has devised
, a new use for bullets expended upon

bullets from the various ranges.
According to English correspond
ence, an automobile battery has been
evolved abroad which threatens a rev

down hill the motor is reversed and
the battery recharges itself, so that

As a consequence of the increasing
demand for superior grades of sugar
! in Japan, attention is being turned
i toward inproving the very primitive
! methods of crushing now employed
I at Tainan, and turning out a cleaner
i and higher grade sugar, says The
j Engineer. As a first step in this di
| rection four iron mills —crushers —
were introduced during the year to
replace old stone crushers, but as the
same motive power—bullocks —is
used as before, this improvement is
limited only to the extraction of a
larger percentage of juice, and the
quality of the sugar produced re
mains much the same.
Commercial agent Johnson, of Stan
bridge, Quebec, has sent to the state
department a report on the discovery
of a new wood preservative. He
says:"The sap is removed from tim
ber and at the same time it is impreg
nated with chemicals to render the
wood either fireproof or impervious
to attacks of insects or to decay in
salt or other waters. Beechwood can
be made suitable for railway sleepers
or for boot and shoe lasts. If neces
sary the impregnating plant can be
used at the felling ground. The cost
of impregnating is about two cents
per cubic foot. The cost of the
plant is about $1000."
The product called "electroverre,''
according to the Moniteur Scienti
fique, is made as follows: The mate
rials in fine powder are fed into an
electric furnace in several compart
ments; in about 20 minutes a clear
liquid glass is obtained, which can be
run into moulds or worked as usual,
for finer kinds of glass the compart
ments are placed over one another,
as the refining takes place more
quietly. Fifty volts is sufficient with
the Becker furnace, and the current
can be either alternating or continu
ous. It is claimed as an advantage
that the furnace can be easily start
ed or stopped within a short time,
and that the expense of pots will be
saved. The trials are being made by
a company at Cologne.
The geodesists are still measuring
the earth, with a view to determin
ing its exact size and shape. People
that do not follow closely the work
that scientists are doing are under the
impression, perhaps, that these points
were determined long ago, and sc
they were approximately. But an ap
' proximate conclusion is not satisfac-
I tory to science, and so the task of
j measurement goes on, and will go
on until an accurate result is ob
i tained. One of the most important
j steps recently taken in this direction
I is the remeasurement of the meridian
I arc in Peru, which is being done by
! French geodesists. the original meas
j urement having been made by theii
I countrymen in the early part of the

Guttn- Perclia Is Not K libber.
Many persons think that gutta-per
cha and India rubber are substantial
ly the same product, but. while they
resemble each other in some respects,
they are distinctly different in others,
j A writer who was formerly a forester
in the Dutch East Indies has recently
called attention to these differences
So far as the qualities of the products
are concerned the most noticeable
difference is that rubber is elastic
while gutta-percha is not. Gutta
percha is obtained from one plant on
ly; rubber from upward of GO differ
ent plants. The gutta-percha tree Is
cultivated with great difficulty, and
the natives of the countries where it
grows cut it down to get its sap.
Three-fourths of this product comes
from Sumatra and Borneo. The totai
annual production is only about one
twentieth that of rubber, which is es
timated at about 99,000,000 pounds
two-thirds of it coming from the Ama
zon valley, one-third from Central
Africa and one-twentieth from Asia j

Developing; Odor In Flowers.
Accounts from St. Louis inform ns
that an enthusiastic lover of flowers
has succeeded In breeding an odorifer
ous race of tulips, and that he is now
engaged in experiments with the chry
santhemum, to which he expects even
tually to impart the fragrance of the
rose. We can only say, in reply to an
inqufry, that nothing has come to hand
throwing any light on those related
successes and experiments. From a
theoretical, point of view it seems im
possible. Odor comes from the excre
tion of minute particles of oil. To
change the odor the character of the
oil would have to be altered. When
this can be done by the cultivator we
may expect turpentine from the sugar
cane and get the fragrance of the vio
let. from ailantus flowers.
An odoriferous race of tulips is not
astonishing, for tulips have them
selves developed scent. Tulipa sylves
tris, common in the south of France,
and thought by many botanists to be
only a wild variety of Gesneriaua,
from which our many cultivated tu
lips have sprung, is very pleasantly !
fragrant. The truth Is that man can
only take advantage of some tendency
that nature has first originated. He
cannot develop new organs of secre
tion, and in the matter of color he
can only ring the changes of those
colors which the flower lie experi
ments with has passed through in the
scale from primitive yellow to aesthet
ic blue.—Boston Transcript.
Lost Art*.
"We hear a good deal these days
about the lost arts," siad the man,
who, though old in years is still young
at heart. "I wonder if the world real
izes that some of the most precious

coming extinct? How many boys to
day can make a kite, properly hung
and with a tail sufficient to balance it?
How many boys can make a bow with
the ends nicely bent and worked down

about them. ,

"Upon publishers and upon edlton
rests a responsibility," says Mr. Allen,
in Harper's. "They will fail both of
their duty and of their high privilege
in so far as they yield to the impor
tunities of a capricious popular taste.
If they surrender their business to
wholly mercantile purposes, regard
less of the best interests of literature,
and compete with each other in this
facile and fatal descent, then a gen
eral publishing syndicate, upon a
purely mercantile basis, will be as
natural and inevitable in its applica
tion to literature as it has become in
the control of railroads and the pro
duction of steel. Fortunately, the
great publishers of books and periodi
cals in this country have maintained a
united front against perilous tenden
cies, and their competition has been
in the line of ascent."
Khipiiiiig A Itle Tree.
An effort is to be made to remove a
large red oak tree from the wildest
section of Arkansas to Forest Park, St.
Louis, for the Louisiana Purchase Ex
position, says the Scientific American.
The tree is 100 feet high and twelve
feet in diameter at the base. A double
tramway will be built from the tree to
the river, where it will be floated and
towed to St. Louis. It is estimated
that this will occupy six months. The
tree will be dug up by the roots in
stead of being cut, and none of its
branches will be trimmed, so that it
will appear on exhibition just as it
now stands in the woods.
A Pruiwiuii ltoyal Custom.
A curious custom exists in the Prus

ter the ceremony each bride receives
a gift of a sum equivalent to about
