Hail.

From q study Of phenomena Of thun-
der-storms in the Gironde (France) NJ.
Lespiault comes to the conclusion that.
ceteris paribus, valleys are more struck
by hail than hills or tableland. II seems
that q certain depth below the clouds is
necessary for the formation or the fall
Of hail to occur without obstacle. Fur
ther. the directions of the valleys trav-
ersed have q marked influence on the
direction of the clouds, though they only
cause . momentary DETECTION, and the
clouds, after following them . certain
time, are carried on in the general. d.,
rection of the vertical movement. For
example, if . valley be in the axis Of the
zone Of hail, or little inclined to that
axis, the hail clouds seem to be carried
along that valley, as dead leaves are car
ried along by the wind in trench. II
the valley be subdivided BY mountain
spur into two others, the hail cloud also
divides and the two secondary valleys
are ravaged in their turn, at least to the
extent in which they are within the
zone hail. Valleys lying across this
zone have also an influence, though less
marked. When the clouds come to pass
over them they show tendency to de-
scend and to spread out on the two
sides Of the zone, 80 that the zone i
broader over valleys than over plateaus,
and ths ravsges are often greater.

White Buffaloes Supersu'
ton In Regard to Them.

White buffalo have frequentlys1eon-
seen and killed. All Indian tribes regard
them as .'big medicine" but they have
different superstitions regarding them.
For instance, Catlin, the painter, while
among the Mandans in 1882, saw q
white buffalo robe erected on q pole in
their village as ! sacrifice to the GREET
Spirit. 1t had been purchased from the
-B(ackfeet, who killed the buffalo, for
eight horses and a quantity of goods.
on the other hand the Comanches be.
lieve it very dangerous to see white
buffalo. In 1869 l saw young Conan
che who had seen a white buffalo re.
turn to the camp almost dead with fear.
He was taken into his tent, the medicine
men were sent for, and they smoked
him and kept up incantations over him
day and night for a week. When he
came out he believed that he had a very
narrow escape from death. In 1862 q
white buffalo was killed by awhile man
on the north fork of the Red River, l.
T., and the hide presented to Genera
Grierson. He desired to have it dressed
to preserve it, but failed to get any In
dian to undertake the task for 9 lone
time. At last he prevailed on a Conan

Soil Treatment OF Orchards.

I have become convinced that an
orchard should not be cultivated much
after it begins to bear-or say ten or
twelve years from setting; but before
that l would prefer to have it most OF
the time in tillage to some hoed crop,
only as the trees advancein age take the
more pains to not let the plow 60 to
much depth near the trees, but finish
tilling about the trees by hand, ana
when hoeing be sure to take more pains
in hoeing the trees than the corn. After
being tended thus with care so as not to
have the roots much disturbed up to
about the time the trees begin to bear,
I would seed an orchard down, not be-
cause it will do better for being in grass,
but l would thus avoid the risk Of hav-
ing the roots of the trees, which seek to
grow near the surface, broken or dis
turbed, as they would necessarily be by
tilling the ground to crop. These sur
face roots and rootlets I believe to be
the ones which principally nourish the
growing fruit. Next, to keep the or
chard IN best condition, depend on
mulching the ground, and especially
that under the trees. This is nature s
own management for trees, and sfound
to be the best that man can give them
The mulch may consist OF almost any
material, but q compost OF muck and
manure, with some lime and coal.ashes
is very good. The muck should b!
drawn and some lime mixed with it, ant
lie so for six months or a year, being
shoyeled over once or twice in the time
then it is fit to use whether mixed witt
manure or not, though the orchard shoul'
not fail to have the manure in som
| wav. The application of ashes l Civ
separately, and if coal-ashes. use an,
quantity of them. All this applied to al
orchard in turf is good treatment.-
