Garden and Lawn fermentation.

AMONG those who have given attention
to landscape gardening, some are in favor
Of not only extending the architectural
appearance of the dwelling house to the
grounds, in the form of vases, statues,
fountains, etc, but also of carrying its
spirit into the grounds themselves, by
architectural flower gardens, not forget
ting sculpturesque-looking plants in close
proximity to the house. The reader
must decide for himself whether, with
the exception of sparing, delicate and
gracefL distribution of vases, etc, which
might be thought to contain enough OF
the architectural spirit, he would not pre-
fer to the merely architectural flower
gardens the green velvet lawn gracefully
interspersed with flower beds, borders,
Towering shrubs and trees mingled in the
grounds in the same spirit that the real
artist paints portions of the finest land
scapes. That the latter is applicable to
cottages of simple and unassuming struct-
ure, graced with such climbing plants as
the twining honeysuckle, sweet-scented
clematis, the morning glory, Mexican ivy,
etc., and to all pastoral scenes In the I'M
mediate neighborhood of dwellings, few
will doubt, nor will it be denied that even
the modest wild flowers will create more
lastingly tender and inspiring emotions
than all that art ever has or can accom-
plish. "The lilies of the field, they
grow, they toll not, neither do they spin,
yet say unto you that Solomon, In all his
glory, was not arrayed like one of these"

Harvesting Root Crops.

The one thing that makes labor in the
root field so unpalatable to Americans is
the constant STOPPING that it nearly al
ways involves. 1 obviate this almost en-.
tirely in harvesting by using the hoe
ground sharp. With this in your hands,
begin at the outside row, and as you fol
low it down cut the top clean from each
turnip with the blade, striking right OF
left as is most convenient. The impetus
given to the top will carry it about half
way to the adjoining row. Returning in
this, you strike in the same direction and
so proceed. After few minutes prac-
tice, two or three tops may be cut with
one blow, and almost anyone can "top"
as fast as he ordinarily walks. After the
field has been thus topped" it will pre-
sent this appearance: Two rows of tur-
nips will alternate with each row of tops.
In pulling the roots, strike the blade of
the hoe back of the turnip, and with a
quick jerk pull it toward the adjoining
row, pulled or unpulled. The blade of
the hoe cuts many of the lateral roots,
thus rendering the task of pulling COM
ing, row of turnips will alternate with a
row of tops; and in hauling, the wagon
should be driven between these rows of
turnips. If the turnips are left out in the
field after pulling few days, the rains
and frosts common to the fail of the year,
with the tumbling in and out of a wagon,
will leave the turnips as clean as need be.
I have myself topped and pulled by this
method 400 and 500 bushels in ten hours

Pruning Evergreens.

WILL suppose, for example, you have
a dozen evergreens, two of kind Some
you wish to grow in form of pinnacles
and you select the Norway spruce, be-
cause tits a strong growing variety, and
let the leader run up as it chooses, only
heading in the side limbs to thicken it up
and do away with its shaggy appearance
If you wanted an oblate dwarf, say at a
scale of six feet wide to twelve inches
high in the center, you would take the
weak growing balsam at foot high, cut
out its leader, and, year after year, do like
wise. Let it rise only about two inches
in the year and not head in the side limbs,
and you would have what you wished.
So, if you wanted an arbor-vit@ dwarfed,
with round head at six feet high, or an
Austrian or other pine hemispherical at
eight feet, you would act accordingly by
cutting out the top leader at the height
you want, and the center leader to the
side limbs, etc., according to Judgment.
There is continued effort of the ever
green's to make height and, if top leader
of balsam or Norway, for example, is
broken off this year, one of the eide top
limbs will rise up next year and take the
lead. In short, whatever you fancy can

your tree hemisphere, semi ovoid, semi

Inc balsam can be made a pinnacle,
but the danger is that its lower limbs will
thin out their foliage and die, and then
the tree, as an ornament, is ended.
All ornamental pruning of an evergreen
top is done by a judicious shortening.in
process, and should always, if possible,
be done in early spring before the sap has
started, but should not be commenced on
an evergreen the year it is transplanted,
nor until it is thoroughly established. In

A PeriIOus Balloon Voyage.

The Reading Pa.) Eagle gives the
following account of a recent perilous
balloon trip in that vicinity:
With % 900 cubic feet of gas and 100
pounds of ballast our young aeronaut,
Shearer, sailed away from Pottstown
in his balloon, "The Globe" yesterday
afternoon at 4:10 O'Clock. After being in
the air nearly an hour, and encountering
a fearful rain and snow storm, and after
being hurled through forests and trees,
and nearly killed by being dashed against
the limbs and boughs, he sailed nearly
forty miles and landed, after desperate
escape with his life, about two miles from
Coopersburg, near the North Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad. He was assisted and placed
on a train, and returned to Reading last
night by the 1915 train. The balloon
arrived from Allentown this morning.
A reporter this morning called on the
aeronaut to get his account of the fright
full voyage. Mr.. Shearer was stiff and
used up. The right side of his neck and
shoulders is cut and bruised. His body
is also marked invarious places. He
says twas the most desperate escape he
ever experienced A half hour away from
Pottstown he was caught in storm, the
wind having increased to gale. The
balloon was blown alta fearful speed. He
says the position at that time was the
most dangerous of his life. He threw out
his graphing hook to catch fence
which was torn. down in. the effort
and the rail of an ordinary fence
was also torn down. On the third at
tempt the hook caught stump and the
rope snapped. Next he was dragged over
wood and came to a field, and the bal
loon struck the ground, made rebound,
and he was again dragged over another
wood. Finally he managed to catch hold
of the branches of some trees, and in this
manner held the balloon until several
persons who witnessed his peril came to
his assistance. The valve was opened
and some of the gas permitted to escape

An Obituary Editor:

Two or three years ago | was attached
to the Morning argus, the only paper
published in our village, and during my
engagement we employed as an assistant
editor a young man named Drinker.
When Drinker began his duties the man.
ager said to him:
"Sce here, Drinker; among other things
l want you, whenever you see in the ex-
changes or anywheres good biograph'
ical sketch of any prominent man, to clip
it out and put it away, SOS when he dies,
you understand, we can rush it out as an
obituary article, as it were." . ...
Drinker went to work, and about two
months afterward some well-known man
died, and | examined the obituary bureau
for the purpose of obtaining his history.
1t was not there; but discovered that the
insidious Drinker had stored away in that
mortuary receptacle one biographical
sketch of John Wesley, a collection of
essay upon "The Life, and Services of
John Hancock"
| commenced with Drinker upon tn e
subject.
"Mr. Drinker," I said, after calling his
attention to the article about the father of
Methodism, you certainly must be aware
that John Wesley died long before you
came into this Office"
"N-n-nop" exclaimed Drinker, with a
look of panied surprise in his face.
"Wh-wh what! John Wesley dead! That
great and good man gonel Why, it's too
bad. l had no idea of such a thing
What shock it must have been to his
familyp'
"And as for Gen. Putnam, Drinker, it
is perfectly absurd for you to pretend that
you thought he was alive, you know.
Come, now, that's too much."4
els he dead, too? Well, we'll! The
fact is, I've been living down in the coun-
try for two or three years, and haven't
kept the run of things. And so old Put
nam's dead. That noble old man! Strange,
strange, how we are passing away"
"And, Drinker, you certainly can't be
such an idiot as to have put away this ar
ticle about Hancock with the expectation
that he would die again. You know he
did die once. Why, Drinker, he died
about 10, 900 years ago!" S1x
"Come nowl" exclaimed Drinker, ex-
ultingly; I've got you there. All, ha!
Died 10000 years ago, did he, smarty
You know too much. You think every

"THE Common Sense Medical Adviser in
Plain English, for all People, or Medicine
Simplifed," is the comprehensive and express
i've title of a forthcoming work of from
seven to nine hundred large pages, bound
in cloth, from the pen of DR.. r. V. PIERCE, of
the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, N. 7. Price,
$3.50, postpaid to any address within the
United States. To all those who subscribe
for the work noaD, and send the money with
their subscription, the price will be but $1.00.
The latter price Scarcely covers the cost OF
publication, and at $1.50 it will be the cheap
est book ever published, and the author can
only hope for compensation for his labor in
the immense sale which the work must have.
The authors name is a household word
throughoutAmericaa and his fame as physician
is not unknown in other lands. His reputa-
ton, coupled with the cheapness of the work,
insures for it in our opinion sale surprising
that of any book that has ever been published
in the English language The book will be
illustrated with numerous original wood en-
cravings, will contain fine steel portrait and
autograph of the author, and altogether will
be the most comprehensive, plainly written
and practical medical adviser for both young
and old, male and female, single and married,
ever published. We advise each of our read
ers to send the subscription price to the author
Immediately and thus encourage him in his
labors and secure the work at the reduced
price, The author will acknowledge the re-
ceipt of all subscriptions and send the book as
soon as out
