The Treatment of Maude $.


Maude s. is a highly bred mare, and wants
to be huMored. Her heart is won by kindness
She Will not stand harsh treatment, will NOT
prove obedient under rough usage. Both Bair
and his wife made much of Maude 5. They
petted her and treated her to apples and Jumps
of sugar. The result is that she will eagerly
respond 10 their call. When jogging on the
track at Chester Park, the presence of Mrs.
BAR near the rail at any time would cause
Maud to turn IN that direction. All last win
ter the mare ran in rOOmy box In April
she was put IN front of a break cart, and Mr..
Bair drove her about the streets of Clifton and
Cincinnati, and thus got her accustomed TO the
noise and hustle of the toiling world He also
harneSSed her double, and taught her to drive
on either side. She always behaved well TO the
pole. She does not like blinds TO her bride.
but will trot with any kind of bit in her mouth
All she asks Is that the driver shall not pull on
the bit She stands 1921, forward, and is
plump sixteen hands behind. Her weight Is
$50 pounds. In her races this year she has
been driven to a fifty-one pound sulky, but
Bair is having made for her u sulky weighing
forty-five pounds. She wears fifteen and a
half ounce shoe forward and a nine ounce shoe
behind She also carries four ounce toe
weights. For two weeks after her arrival at
the Queen City she will be turned al every
evening INTO siX-acre grass lot and be allowed
TO run until Q O'Clock. This will keep her hair
from fading under the suns rays, and it will
cool her out thoroughly. After two weeks

The question, What Will Mrs Grundy say"
was first asked in the comedy speed the
Plough" In that play D,tme I@!r,id Is con.
stantly anxious on that point. Noah VI. Lud.
low of -. Louis, an aged retired actor, tell,
this story: Now, it so happened that there
was living in Nashville Judge Felix Grundy
and family, and Mrs Grundy was a lady that
mingled with the best society of that city, and
was highly respected; but, being a member OF
some church that prohibited its members Wis
lting theatres, she was not present on the occa-
sion; so whenever the name WAS mentioned
there was a general laugh throughout the
whole audience. This. to the actors, was IN
comprehensive, until friend explained the
matter to us Judge Grundy, after Martin
Van Buren's election 10 the Presidency, was
made \ arney- General of the United States
The expression. What will Mrs. Grundy say !;
soon ail,l became familiarly used by newspa
per writers and others

\ correspondent writes as follows 81 beg
to forward you an easy, clean and certain
method Of eradlcatng these loathsome insects
from dwelling houses. A few years ago my
house was infested with cOckroaches (or
CLOCKS as they are called here, and was re-
commended to try cucumber peelngs as a
remedy. I accordingly, Immediately before
bedtime, strewed the floor of those parts OF
the house most infested with the vermin with
the green peel, cut not very thin from the Gu
cumber, and SIT up half an hour later than
usual to watch the effect Before the explra
ton Of that time, the floor where the peel lay
was completely covered with cockroaches, SC
much so, that the vegetable could not be seen
so voracously were they engaged in sucking
the poisonous moisture, from it, l adopted the
same plan the following night, but my vls
tors were not near so numerous-I should
think not more than fourth of the previous
night On the third night did not discover
one; but anxious to ascertain whether the
house was quite clear of them, | examined the
peel after had laid it down about half an
hour and perceived that it was covered with
myriads of minute CockrOaChes, about the size
of flea. | therefore allowed the peel to lie
till morning, and from that moment l have
not seen a cockroach IN the house. 1t is a
very old building; and | can assure you the
above remedy only requires to be persevered
IN for three or four nights to completely erad
cate the pest. OF course 1t should be fresh Gu
cumber peel every night"

Hints to Tree Planters.
BY SUEL FOSTER.

Professor johnson, of Yale Collie, says: "a
multitude of observations has demonstrated
that from nlnety.five to ninety-nine per cent.
of the entire mass of agricultural crops is de-
rived directly or indirectly from the atmos-
phere." Then why be so particular about the
soil and manure? Because its decomposition
frees the oxygen gas, the most active part of
the atmosphere, which assists the plant in car
ryiag up its food and water, and distributing 2
ii to each branch and leaf, in obedience to the
order which that branch and leaf has sent down
for material to manufacture wood, bark, leaf,
flower and fruit. Let us remember that the
root must have air and 1cater | once planted
a tree IN wet clay soil, where air was excluded,
and it died as quick as if its roots had been in
air with no water.
If trees are set IN the tall, great care should
be taken to have the soil finely pulverlzed and
carefully packed upon every part Of the roots,
for it is through the soil that the water is
brought in contact with the roots. If the soil
is light and porous 1t should be pressed and
tramped the tirmer on the roots; if dry, water
should be poured in when the hole is half
filled; then fill up and pile up, and make a
mound around the tree. This will hold the
tree in the wind, and keep the mice off in
winter
Learn that soil fully saturated contains
about Al per cent OF its weight of water-tine
heavy soils less, and light and porous soils
more. We may consider that good proper
ton of soil, water and air, for plant growth,
would be one-fourth water and one.fOurth air.
1t is heavy ram that measures one inch of
water IN the rain.gauge, which by the above
proportion would wet the soil four inches
down. Two buckets of water thrown upon
the surface of the ground would wet no more
than one inch in depth one foot from the tree,
and to wet the soil four inches would not reach
the roots of the tree, but would do we'll for
flowers and garden plants. But there Is al
ways more or less water IN the soil when the
plants begin to suffer by drouth. To water a
newely-set tree it is better to dig the earth
away down to near the roots; then pour in
water enough to last q week of dry weather.
then put the dry soil back over the wet. If
