Hickory produces a strong persist ent tap root, and these species per sist on acewtnt of these tap roots seek ing crovlces In rocks and penetrating the soil deeply, so that they can flour ish In pcor, rocky soils. On the oth er hand, oaks do not have such a per sistent tsp root, but soon develop sec ondary roots, and on this account oaks In general require a more moist soli than hickories. The tap root of tho beech develops strongly for a time, but In the course of a year a broad system of lateral roofs is developed, tho tap root be ing chec?! j furr Browt. Similar root systems aro tound In the mape and red ash, and thv,o trees growth. The sugar n.aplo develops lateral roots quite early, and In gen eral trees which develop strong lat eral root systems In their early stages are not adapted to growia on sterile soils. Attention Is called to the fact that In desert regions all the shrubby plants develop long tap roots. J. W. Toumey, In American Cultivator. Lima Beans. The Lima beans "arc natives of warm countries, aud therefore require a longer season. Tho gardener's ef fort Is to shorten their period of growth In every way possible. He plants tho earliest varieties obtainable, In light, warm, sandy soil, and gives as siduous cultivation. Coarse, raw sum mer Is not tho best for Lima beans, as It Induces a rank aud late growth. If such manure Is to be used It should be applied to tho ground in tho fall In order that It may becemo thoroughly Incorporated with the soil, and be In good conlltlon an available plant food In tho spring. Concentrated fertiliz ers, rich In potash and phosphoric acid, are suitable, while those con taining much nitrogen should be avoided. Although desirable to give tho Limas tho largest room possible, it is ufoIcrs to plant them in open ground before settled weather. They may germinate, but only to bo checked and retarded, and therefore nothing will bo gained. As a rulo, they should not be planted until a week or 10 days i after It la safo to plant ordinary bush .' garden boans. luL they may be plant. ed in a forcing-house or cold frame In pots, or an Invented sods, or in boxos, two weeks before it is suitable to plant theme out of doors. It Is not a difficult mntter to transplant. Yet,, In spite of all the gardener can do, it Is practically impossible to Induce Lima beans to mature a full crop before frost comes. A half crop Is all that can usually be counted on. At frost time the green pods, containing beans partially grown, may be picked, the beans shelled out and drlod, and used to advantage. Ccmnectlcut Farmer. Business Side of Farming. In almost every section we see men who have failed in business, and as the last resort havo gone to farming. It used to be a popular opinion that a man could farm when ho had failed In everything else, but that time is past. A farmer today needs brain, coupled with muscle. He must bo the master of bis operations and not the servant. A true farmer makes bis farm furnish him the necessities as well as the comforts of life, and Fomo luxuries, but above all, content ment and satisfaction. Three ele ments are necessary to make a suc cess In any calling, intelllpenco, in dustry and economy. Education, tho very best a farmer can acquire, should be his, as a farmer needs Information In many lines. Ho is a manufactur er, salosman, chemist and entomolo gist, and coupled with some of these things he must bo familiar with his farm. He must , study his environ ment and govern his operations ac cordingly. He must work his farm so as to get as much profit per acre as possible, and at the same time make bis soil more productive. Ho must know what he wants to do, and then stick to it through thick and thin, through high prices and low. By so doing he can establish a reputation as a producer of a certain article, and his profits will be much larger. The sec ond is Industry. The man that Is lazy and Indolent and Is always at the corner grocery cultivating tho soft side of a store box will never make a success at farming, such men will never be able to go to the bank and draw more than his breath. "He who would succeed must cither hold or drive." Tho last is economy. The young man or old to succeed inuut practice economy. He must never never buy something ho cannot a!tord Just to keep up in a certain social set, or for any other reason. If wo apply business method, to all of our observations es closely as other men do, success wlU crown our efforts, and the world will fca bettor by u having lived in it. SI. C.

They aro easily cared for dnd should bo planted much the same as blackberries. They are also easily winterkilled, and for this rea son are not a suo ess In this and many other section i. Blackcap raspben i-?s are propagated from the Up of the vino, which enters the ground in midsummer and throws out roots In the fall. In removing the plant for transplanting a piece of the vine is left attache:! for convenience In handling. This old vine dies after the plant la established in It new home. Raspberries grow best when planted In rich, well drained oil. The ground should be deeply plowed and thorough ly pulverised before planting. A small furrow may be run where a row Is to bo planted, cr holes thrown out with a spade for each plant. Straight rows make easy cultivating. They should be about sn,vcn feet apart and the plants half an far apart In the rows. In the fall, the tip of the old vine makes a bud or sprout. This Is what grows In the spring. When plants are carried directly from one plantation to another this sprout can be kept from Injury and an early and vigorous growth secured. When the plants are received frcm nurseries the sprout will usually be found to have been broken off In handling. New sprouts will spring up and take Its place, but growth Is retarded and the plant more or less injured. , Like all trees and plants, raspber ries Bhould have their roots exposed n little as noBslble In tr.mn!an!lni. The Tower eri'ds of the roots iliouid be placed deep In the, soM, but the sprout should bo 5r the surface and cov ered with only an Inch or so of loose dirt. It v.111 not come through if a lot of packed dirt Is placed on top of It. Over the roots tho dirt should be packed solidly three or fcur Inches. If ti.e ground Is In proper tilth at. plant ing tlmo It will settlo considerably. Remember. this and get the plant In deep enough so tho cultivator will not disturb the roots after tho ground has settled. O. H. Hainlilll, In New England Homestead. Making a Pretty Lawn. Though we call It a front yard, yet, ro difference what Its dimensions gtcat or small It really Is a lawn. And If it prcves a "thing of beauty," wo must give It thought and care In the first mnklng as well as afterward. Thero aro new houses, finished up late in the fall, that havo left the lawn-maUlns until the spring. There ore now houses going up, of which the plat around will soon bo calling for some consideration. Its situation must bo Ettulicd, and plans made for its shape and slopo. Where the lot Is a series of depres ptons and Inclined places, much grad Kvi and filling in Is usually required, lut where It Is comparatively level, .he dirt thrown from the cellar and inundation, with dirt thrown back from -tho edges to give the slope, may be all the extra filling required. If tho hotiso stands well In tho centre, tho ground looks better to slope even ly from all sides of it, A little shitt ing of Its own soil to make this may bo all that Is required. If the lawn be a small ono. If the lawn Is not of extra size the grading can be done b hand, but if very large, it Is more quickly and better done by machinery mado for the purpose. It will not do to put poor soli on a lawn, or to stir its own soil lf.lt bo poor, and leave It in that shape for tho planting of seed. Poor ground will not grow lawn grcBS, especially the kind that grows thick, low and a rich green, and under foot Tools like soft velvet plush. That kind requires a deeply rich soil. Two lawns, side by sldo, both equally well cared for, will shew a vast difforence in looks, be cause of difference in the soil. If tho soil used In the making of the lawn be of poor quality, it should be mixed to a depth beyond which the roots reach, with some good fertilizer. Well-rotted manure Is good for the puvpene were It not for the seeds of weeds that spring from It. To avoid future work In tho way of spudding out stubborn weeds, ono had better Invest in bone meal or eomo fertilizer froo of weed seeds. In getting the soil ready lor the seed It must be well pulverized with hoe and rake, and every clod broken, that the seed may como up evenly. All depressions that shew after a first filling should be evened up and pound ed down firm with a maul. It usually ti'kcs two years to got a lawn in good shape, as heavy rains And soggy places lu the soil and hollow them out. But after that tlmo it will remain In good condition for years, with a slight at tention each spring and fall. In selecting the seed great care is nocc3sary. There are mixtures cf lawn seeds put on tho market that are worthless, and there are salesmen who will soli you such as good. A mix ture of grass seeJs that makes a low, spreading growth and stools out well la the kind wanted. There aro deal ers with a reputation to sustain, who wlU sell you the right kind, and tell you to an Inch hew much your lawn, bo It large or small, will need of seed. They will tell you that -It must be sown thick. Inquire for such a dealer before you buy. If you are not an ex perienced hand In sowing grass seed, thon get someone to sow it that is. Let It got eight or nine Inches high before it gets Us first cuttlnR, and then it shculd merely be clipped. To run the lawn mower often and close ly over new gians Is one good way to kill It. ,fter tho roots are well set and matiod and the grass grows thick cr. tho- ground, It will not require so much water to keep it alive. Thick trass holds moisture arcunJ the roots, and will withstand long dry spells. Keep a wire rake with which to tuke off tho cut grass and leaves, f harp-toothed rakes tear and loosen the grass roots. As a thick bed of grass draws fertility from the ground faster than It gives it back, the lawn must get a dressing cf bone meol at least twice a year. If you would keep up its strength and beauty. In May or June it the time indicated for the first dressing, and then again late in the fall. The snows and rains of win ter will gradually wash It Into the roots. Indianapolis Nowe. HAY tTACKINQ IN NORTHWEST. Contrivances That Would Surprlst an eastern Farmer. In the Northwestern Btatcs where forage crops are cultivated for ex port the stacking and baling of hay Is done targely by machinery, and the number of hands required to care for the great crops that are grown Is rel atively much smaller than in parts of the country where the tIzo of the Holds and the amount of the crop would not Justify the Investment of a large sum of money In plant There are a dozen or more styles of stackers In common use, some of them arranged with a mar,, on which a boom Is rigged, tarrying a fork. This fork, a huge affair which would pick up two or three Eastern hay cocks at one mo tion, takes the hay from the wagon racks and swings It tip ti tho great stack In which It 4s to be stored. One mast and boom stacker carries a six tlned fork. The mast Is held In place by guy ropes from the top. The foot of the mast rests on a sled with run ners, whjch may be staked to the ground to hold It firm. The fork Is worked by a team of horses, and does the work of a score of men. Another form of this stacker has a grapple fork, similar to the dredges used In sub-marine excavation, which runs on a trolley wJre, much like those mado familiar to Now Yorkers by the ar rangements for handling the mnterlnl excavated from tho subway. Another form of stacker looks like a derrick from the oil fields, with a boom bal anced on top. Tho advantage of this form Is that no guy ropes aro neces sary, stakes at tho base of the der rick poles holding It firm while In op eration. Some of these derricks are mounted on sled runners, and some on wheels which are blocked when the machine Js In use. Another variation of this scheme Is a derrick with a re volving pole. The hay racks In which material Is brought to feed these great machines are longer, wider and deep er hnn those In uho In the East, but are built on lines much the same. A Remarkable Bridge. There Is a remarkable bridge over the river Indus at Rondn. in Northern Kashmir. This fair InoKlng structure which crosses a rocky gorge, through which the river runs at a tremendous rate consists of three ropes, one foot rope and two side ropes, joined to gether by short lengths of rone at Intervals of a few feet. The three main ropes consist of long switches of brushwood roughly bound together. tho two Bide Btrands being kept apart by forked stakes at Intervals of 20 feet. Needless to say, the crossing of these swinging, swaying structures is not a very pleasant experience, and Intrepid mountaineers havo been known to run sick with terror In the middle, although the native coolies cross most light-heartedly with heavy limns, ine bridge nas been described as one of the worst in the Himalayas.
