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 the ARB of ERRR,
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
tom, while one three days old will
swim just immersed. If more than
three day 3 old the egg will float on. the
surface, the amount of shell exposed
increasing with age, and if two weeks
only, only a little of the shell will
dip in the liquid.
A Plow-toil.
When shallow plowing, at the same
depth 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 loss 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 subsoiler. It is not wholly uncom
mon to find a farmer raising good
crops on heav-y 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
fertility. Turn up all the good soil,
unless it js several feet in depth as
you find in some of the far western
states and oven in some portions of
Minnesota. —J. W. Scott, in the Epito
mist
Crowing Apple. Sneco.fully,
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
cne peck of seed can he secured from
100 bushels of pomaco. 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 tho varieties de
sired. Grafting seems to be most pop
ular, 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 hear 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 ol' fair size and fine ap
pearance. Get the treos 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 treos are produced
in the north or south. After the bloom
is secured tho character of the blos
som determines largely the character
of the fruit. If the blossoms arc open
and tho stamens prominent fertilza
tion Is much more likely to occur.
Trees which produce closed blossoms
are 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.—

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
bo more convenient by malting them
narrow and longer, according to cir
cumstances. Use two-Inch mesh poul
try netting, four feet wide, with a
board at the bottom, hut none at the
top. This bottom board or hoards, is
better two feet high, and thus pre
vents tho 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 is not nec
essary to use a higher fence, or wire
more than four feet, but no hoard
must be used on tcp or the fowls will
fly up on the top hoard and get out.
If a chance bird gets over this fence,
crop her wings by cutting only tho
long stiff flight feathers from the last
joint of wing.
If possible when making yards en
close all the shade trees you can get
in them. If trees are not already in
them, loose no time putting them
there. A mulberry thicket of tho 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 the leaves are stripped up by the
fowls and the shade is perfection. It
Is true that the poultry yard is a good
place for fruit trees and fruit, but we
can also have as many fruit trees In it
as it will accommodato, beside the
mulberries.
To have these yards arranged Just
right we should have a large enclos
ure adjoining well set down In clover,
or grass of any kind, alfalfa clover be
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
fully as well In every respect and In
deed better, 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.
Use Lime in the Fall.
The fall season is believed to be
the best for using lime. Every farmer
understands that lime gives good re
sults, but the action of lime in the
soil differs according to the texture
of the soil and the amount of mineral
and organic matter contained. Dime
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
has done much to attiact attention to
the use of lime, slates that lime, by
keeping the soil sweet, enables the
germs in the soil, both those which
convert humus into ammonia and
those which convert ammonia into ni
tric acid, to carry on the work whicn
cannot 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 well
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
germs in the soil it unltos with the
lime to form nitrate of lime when oth
erwise it would be given off into the
air. In the same way lime serves to
preserve in the soil the soluble phos
phates by converting them Into water
soluble and citrate soluble phosphates.
Also, the potash, by converting it into
carbonate of potash, both of which
valuable plant foods would be lost
to a certain extent by drainage. A ju
dicious application of lime also de
stroys many insect pests, which hiber
nate in the soil. Lime, in Its dry state
is very friable, aud 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 derive
nitrogen from the atmosphere, which
explains, to a certain extent, why lime
benefits clover and other leguminous
plants.
Though not. regarded as entitled to
a place in the list of available fertil
izers, yet lime is a plant food, exisf
ing in nearly all soils, and is found
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 f"od n ate'ii.l in the soil and
prevent Its loss by washing away. No
soil can be considered well manured
with economy unless there is a suffi
ciency of lime present to get a maxi
mum of efficiency out of the manure.
It is claimed that there should be at
least one-half percent of lime present
in any soil or one part in two hun
dred. To test for lime put some of
the soil in an ordinary tumbler or test
tube, pour In a little water and stir
well, and then pour in a little muri
atic acid. It it effervesces freely the
soil contains sufficient lime, but if ef
fervescence is feeble, or is not appar
ent, the soil requires lime. When lime
is applied it should be in a very fine
condition, air slaked, and should bo
distributed evenly by broadcasting
over the surface of the soil. There
are implements made for performing
such work. The tendency of 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
acre, the quantity depending upon the
soil and conditions, a larger proportion
being used when the lime Is applied
at the time of plowing under a green
manurial crop.
As lime is slow In its efTect on most
soils, the benefits derived from its usa
.may not be apparent for months, for
which reason it Is broadcasted in the
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 rosults when used
with green manurial 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 lelt uncovered, It
Is the practice with some to sow ryo
on the plowed ground, turning the rye
under early in the spring. Gas lime
Is also sometimes used, but being sul
phide and sulphite of iirae, and being
very different from 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
ir, 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.

WATER PURIFIED BY OZONE.
AIOHCOW'I* Successful Plan for Keeping
Down Infectious Disease (ioriiiH.
A new method of sterilizing a city's
water supply is being successfully op
erated in Russia and it was described
at the annual meeting of the Ameri
can Association of Water Works En
gineers recently held here, in a pa
per forwarded by Nicholas Siinin, chief
engineer of the city of Moscow, where
the system has been adopted and ac
cording to M. Simin is universally
commended.
The plan is to sterilize the water by
the introduction ot ozonized air and
it is contended on its behalf that it
destroys all the bacteria in the water
and makes it at comparatively small
cost absolutely sate for drinking pur
poses. So far, the system has not been
adopted outside Russia, but M. Simin
contends that in this country condi
tions are more favorable than any
where else for its adoption, and lie
advocates its introduction here as
tending to solve all problems in regard
to contaminated water supplies.
The system is based upon the prin
ciples that ozone burns all organic
matter with which it comes in con
tact in water, including bacteria and
their vital products, that with water
which has been freed previously of
suspended matter the destruction of
the bacteria is equally efficient, no
matter how great may be the num
ber, and that the pathogenic bacteria
are among the first to be destroyed.
The purification of the water in this
way is simply a development of and
an improvement upon the ordinary
aeration of water by means of atmos
pheric air. The air, before coming in
contact with the water, is subjected
to a series of electrical discharges
which convert the oxygen from dia
tomic oxygen to totratomic oxygen,
which is ozone and Is remarkable for
its power of oxidizing organic matter
including the bacteria in water. The
cost is put at $6.25 for each million
gallons, or in large plants even less.
Extensive experiments In the sys
tem have been made in France, Ger
many, Holland and Belgium. The
necessary removal of suspended mat
ter is accomplished by using a small
quantity of coagulant for mero clari
fication. M. Simin says: Ozonization
oxidizes not only the bacteria, but
all organic matter. The water is ren
dered colorless, sparkling and odor
less. It has an agreable and refresn
ing taste and there is introduced into
it no foreign matter except oxygen,
which of course, is beneficial.—New
York Sun.

Discoveries in Crete seem likely
rather to add to than detract from
the mythical value of the stories of
Minos, the law-giver, of the bull
headed Minotaur, of the 20 youths
and virgins of Athens, of Ariadne and
her bail of twine and of the hero
Theseus who penetrated into the
Labyrinth and slew the monster. In
stead of being local variants of uni
versal sun-myths, it is possible that
all these persons lived and did much
as the poets and story-tellers say. For
the past two years Arthur J. Evans,
an Englishman, who is at the head
of the Cretan exploration fund, has
been working on the site of ancient
Knossos, and all that he has yet found
is curiously corroborative of the an
cient myths and legends. He has
laid bare evidences of a civilization
Infinitely superior to that which ex
isted at the same time on the Greek
mainland. He has found relics of
painting and sculpture which are far
in advance of contemporary art in
Egypt, and can be equalled only by
that of the Periclean age which came
10 centuries later. He has discovered
that linear writing was known and
practised 700 years earlier than the
first known historic writings. He has
found evidences of a luxury and re
finement which were at least equal to
those of Egypt and Assyria at their
most flowery periods; and all these
things in the fabled Labyrinth, the
House of the Double Axe, the Palaco
of Minos.—New York Commercial Ad

MOTTOES OF STATES.
HoiT Koine Phrases Decaine the Slogans
of Various Localities.
If you desire to have fun with a
learned acquaintance ask him simple
questions about -hiß country, its his
tory, financial condition, political 711-
visions, geographical lines, climatolo
gy, topography, etc. Questions that
any schoolboy can answer Dr. Know
all will stumble clumsily over, often
getting a bad fall. There is one ques
tion that I have never heard any one
answer, namely, "What are the mot
toe, 1 of the several states of the Un
ion and their meaning?" A clever
man may name that of his own state
and guess at those of three or four
of the more important sister states,
but he is unlikely to know the mean
ings of any that are in the original
Latin. Try some able professor in a
crowd and see him flounder.
Ask the professor if he knows that
the great seal of the United States
was designed by an Englishman, Sir
John Prestwich, who also suggested
the motto, "E Pluribus Unum?" Our
ablest men had failed to propose any
thing acceptable. Franklin, Jefferson,
Adams, Lovell, Scott, Houston and
others wasting nearly four years on
the task. Franklin proposed Moses
dividing the Red Sea with this mot
to, "Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience
to God"; Adams proposed the choice
of Hercules and Jefferson the children
of Israel in the wilderness. Doesn't
it seem funny? Some of the suggest
ed mottoes were "Bello vel Pace" (In
War or Peace), "Semper" (Forever),
"Deo Favente" (With God's Favor),
"Virtus Sola Invicta" (Virtue Alone
Invincible,), etc. After six years the
Englishman's device was adopted, and
it yet remains on the arms of the
United States.
If the professor Is familiar with
the obverse of the great seal, ask him
what he has to say of the reverse,
and the chances are 100 to 1 that he
cannot recollect the unfinished pyra
mid, the eye in the triangle, the glory
proper, the motto over the eye, "An
nuitt Coeptis" (God Has Favored the
Undertaking), and that under all "No
vus Ordo Seculorum" (A New Series
of Ages). The obverse of the great
seal, with its splendid eagle, the 13
stripes, the 13 stars, the glory Creak
ing from the clouds and the "E Pluri
bus Unum," is magnificently Ameri
can, but the pyramid, the desert, the
forbidding Egyptian sky and the eye
in the triangle on the reverse are sim
ply barbarous.
The great seal of tho confederacy by
a strange arbitrament of fate was
never used. It was made in England
and reached Richmond about the timo
of its evacuation by the armies of the
lost cause and the confederate gov
ernment. Its motto was "Deo Vin
dice" (God Maintains). The seal is
a handsome silver die about three
inches in diameter, bearing an eques
trian portrait of Washington (after
the portrait in Richmond), surround
ed with' a wreath composed of cot
ton, tobacco, sugar cane, corn, wheat
and rice—the principal product of the
confederate states. It cost in England
about SGOO, with press, wafers, seal
papers, wax, silk cords, etc. It was
presented to the state of South Caro
lina about 1887 and is kept in the
office of the socrtary of state.
Ask the professor if he remembers
that Minnesota, founded by Ameri
cans, is the only state in the Union
that has a French motto. The one
originally selected and ordered en
graved was Latin, but the die was
spoiled and the French substitute was
adopted, "L'Etoile du Nord" (The
Star of the North). Does the pro'/es
sor recall that Montana is the only
state with a Spanish motto? Strange
that fur traders should have adopted
"Oro y Plata" (Gold and Silver). If
you say that one state has a Greek
motto ho probably will do some pret
ty hard thinking before answering
that it is California. "Eureka" is he
licved to be Greek for "I have found."
Tho only Italian motto belongs to Ma
ryland, anil it originally belonged to
the Calvert family, "Patti Maschi. Pa
role Femine" fDeeds Are Males, Words
Females). To be a trifle plainer,
Manly Deeds, Womanly Words." Ask
The professor if he knows that Wash
ington is the only state with an In
dian motto, "Al-Kl" is pure Chinook
for "by and by," in the future or here
after.—Philadelphia Times.
now r.ife Motion Pictures Aro Jtq.lt.
Lift-motion pictures are made with
one type of camera and projected by
two kinds of machines, says Roy Mc-
Ardle In Everynody's Magazine. The
moving-picture camera is arranged so
that when turned by a crank, either
by hand or by an electric motor, the
sensitized film passes behind tho lens
at a rate of 320 feet per minute. Rut
to make each picture, this film must
come to a dead stop for one-seventieth
part of a second, during which time
the shutter of the camera opens and
closes. Then in less that the hun
dredth part of a second the film moves
down about two Inches, and the pro
cess Is repeated until the picture is
finished. From one-half a minute to
a minute is sufficient time to take or
dinary scenes in life motion; 500 or
(100 men marching eight abreast can
pass at a walk a given point In one
minute; and so, in taking life-motion
photographs of a parade, the operator
of the camera turns on his machine
only at the moment important, per
sonages are passing. Pictures three
minutes In lengtn or longer are often
taken, hut expericnee has shown that
long pictures on the biograph grow
tiresome.
