Since the war, the cost of the public
printing has aggregated $50, OOO,O 900, and
the government printing Office has be
come the largest establishment of the
kind in the world. The main reason for
this is said to be due to the practice of
Congress in constantly ordering the
printing of documents which are of no
use, but which are gotten up solely to
crafty the private vanity of the mem
hers.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Our Agricultural Editors Weekly Chat With His
Readers.

A correspondent, writing from Texas, de-
sires to be informed where he can purchase
the true California grape. Ans.: The grapes
which make up the bulk of those grown on the
Pacific slope are foreign varieties, which can
be supplied by most nurserymen; they are
not therefore, in botanical sense, California
grapes, although they may be said to have
been grown in that State.
Mrs. S. Z. Radnor will find that the simplest
and most efficient protection to her roses is to
bend the shoots down so that they may be
fastened with wire to pegs driven in the
ground, then cover them over with straw,
leaves, or common soil; slight covering will
suffice when the shoots are laid on the ground.
al have seen it stated that the 5arberry
plant makes a good hedge. i wish to know if
this is correct and, if so, how is it propa-
gated? "-Subscrber Hamilton, Ohio Ans j.:
The barberry forms very ornamental hedge,
and when well grown, a good fence against
cattle or stock of any kind. 1t is easily raised
from seed.
GLOW can keep hickory nuts and walnuts
until planting time next spring ?"-J. S.,
Pittsburg, Pa. Ans: Plant them at once be-
fore they become dry and hard; If this cannot
be done, keep them in moist soil or sand in
any corner outdoors; freezing will not injure
them when thus covered.
"What two varieties of cherries would you
recommend for this part of Virginia ?"-J. r.,
Berkeley co. Ans.: The black Tartarian and
Knights Early Black. These are both fine
growing trees, produce the best kind of fruit,
and are quite productive, especially the latter
variety. The Tartarian forms fine shade
tree.
"Will the cork tree grow in this part of Vir-
ginia ?"-W. c., Fredericksburg, Va. Arss. ::

States. Thirty years ago, when we first advo-
Gated fall planting, it met with considerable
opposition, but the fall sales of trees in all our
nurseries show that nearly as many are planted
in the fall as in the spring. Even with trees
for spring planting it is advisable to procure
them in the fall and place them in trenches,
covering them well up the stems, so that they
will be on hand ready for setting out when the
planting season arrives, thus avoiding delays
which frequently interfere with the prompt
performance of spring work, and perhaps losing
the best opportunity.

should be protected from and winds ard
watered only by sprinkling water over them;
the soil in the pots should be soaked with water
Immediately after potting, but it should not be
kept too wet while as yet there are no active
roots nor active foliage to make use of water
in the soil.
No effort should be made towards forcing
the growth of shoots until root growth is some
what advanced; many people fail because the
plants at once placed in warm rooms whore
the tops are encouraged to make feeble
growth, which soon dies off because the roots
are not sufficiently active to continue the
growth.

POTASH IN SOILS.

From some experiments made in Saxony
with potash as influencing the production of
sugar in beets it was found that chloride of po-
tassium exercises no essential action in wet
seasons, while in dry years II cwt. per acre
secures an increase of three tons per acre; and
that the salt Of potash acts less by furnishing
that element to vegetation, than by its absorb
ing and retaining humidity for the plant
This is Of much importance in raising root
crops in dry climates, the lack of sufficient
moisture in the soil being one of the greatest
drawbacks in the profitable production of beet
sugar in many, or rather in most, parts of this
country.
PLANTING TREES.

RAINFALL.

The average rainfall Of the United States is
twenty inches or $4,000 barrels to the
acre. Over 100000 Of our population have
more than the average of rain, 100000 hav-
ing between forty and fifty inches. In the
regions having this large average rainfall the
average population to the square mile is largest
while but few live where the average annual
rainfall is less than twenty inches.

Among Loose Lions.

Mr.. George Sanger, having engaged
with Mr.. Paul Cleves, the proprietor of
the Porte St. Martin theatre, Paris, to
supply eight lions, two dromedaries and
two elephants, to appear in spectacular
play, the lions were brought to the thea
tire. Anime the next morning the man in
charge of the elephants, with an express
sion of terror in his countenanee, said in
a whisper to Mr.. Sanger: 1.-The lions are
out" ''Well,' said Mr.. Sanger, .'why
don't you catch them ? Where's the
keeper, Macomo?' Don't know, sir"
Mr.. Sanger, taking an oil-lamp, with a
wretched, smoked globe, went on to the
stage, and, after walking about for a
time, was heard to say: 30, there you
are, are your and, looking over trap
in the stage, he saw the big lion Itch
borne, and presently the other two came
proving by. ''All right, 1 will soon
have Them" said Mr.. Sanger At this,
the big lion, as though he understood
what was said, threw up his head and
opened his ponderous jaws, showing his
great tusks. Mr.. Sanger took heavy
whip used by the elephant-keeper, and
with this in one hand and the lamp in
another, dashed into the cellar The
lions instantly dashed off. Presently he
was heard to say: ''It's all right, have
got one of them" Mr.. Sanger came up
on the stage, and said the other two were
concealed among the broken timber and
waste at the bottom of the cellar, and
that he would have them directly Sew
eral tried to persuade him to forego any
further attempt. ''What am | to do?"
he answered, II have engaged to bring
eight lions here to appear in the play,
and not to roam about in the theatre. y
AT this moment something was heard to
fall. Mr.. Sanger, leaving without saying
a word, went into the cellar again, and,
after searching in vain for the lions for
some time, discovered that they had got
into the bottom cellar. They had fallen
a depth of twenty feet. ''All right, |
have got them; come on, come on, y cried
Sanger Thinking the lions were secure,
some friends descended, but they were
only caught up in a corner Bring up
those shutters; be quick'' was next
heard; and seeing such bravery shown
by Mr.. Sanger, they plucked up courage,
carried several shutters, and hemmed
them in. Then the cages from which they
had so recently broken being lowered,
the capture was easily effected. The
hunt was carried on in the most calm and
collected manner possible, and proved
beyond all doubt that there was not the
slightest fear on the part of Mr.. George
Sanger, the modern lion-hunter.

Origin OF Mustard.

Before the year 1929 mustard was lit
tie known, according to the Grocers'
Journal, at English tables. About this
time an old woman of the name of Glenn
ents, residing in Durham, began to
grind the seed in mill, and to pass the
flour through several processes necessary
to free it from its husks. She kept her
secret to herself for many years, during
which she sold large quantities of mus
tard throughout the country, but espe-
cially in London. Here it was intro
duced to the royal table, where it re-
ceived the approval of George /. From
the circumstance of Mrs. Clements being
resident at Durham, it obtained the
name Of Durham mustard. The manu-
facture of mustard consisted in simply
grinding the seed into q very fine flour,
bushel of seed, weighing sixty pounds,
yielding twenty-eight pounds to thirty
pounds of flour Of mustard. A false
taste, however, arose for having an i'm
proved color, and the flour of mustard
was introduced from which the oil had
been distracted. Hence other materials,
such as capsicum powder, turmeric,
terra alba, wheaton flour, ETC., are added
to bring TIP the flavor and increase the
bulk.

A Phenomenal Spring.

In April last David Manners, farmer
living in Kingwood Township, Hunter
don County, N. j.. discovered spring
right alongside of another spring which
has been in existence about eighty years,
but has yielded no water, not even in
wet seasons, since the Pattenburg tun-
mel was made several years ago. Why
this spring should flow while the other
is dry battles the wisdom of the neigh
borhood. just how water can flow
through the crevices of rock from the
mountain regions beyond Pattenburg to
the Delaware River adds to the mystery
of the spring. That which is most sur
prising respecting it, however, is the
fact that every time the moon changes,
whether there is rain or not, the spring
rises about eleven iuches, and then falls
again some four inches. This causes a
gain of seven inches with every change
of the moon, and the spring is therefore
growing rapidly. Already there are
signs of stream being formed, and the
course which it will take is clearly out
lined among the rocks and even down in
the meadow land. The question which
agitates the rural mind outside of the
phenomenon of the springs curious con-
duct is as to the result should a stream
of any size be formed. Blocked in by
the hills, it would be apt to rush down,
over the fields and destroy the rich farm
ing soil. A sagacious school teacher has
done some figuring regarding it, and has
come to the conclusion if the rise con-
tinucs at its present rate and the stream
forms, as now seems likely, in three
years there will be body of water pour
ing over the rocks large enough to cause
trouble, and that in six years the farm
houses will be washed away, unless
moved beforehand. These things are
not agreeable to contemplate, and David
Manners and his neighbors are seriously
discussing the taking of speedy meas
ures to prevent the prophetic flood.

Sun Disturbances.

Once in about eleven years the sun
takes on his present sun-pot phase, and
we are approaching the maximum of
disturbance. No one knows the cause.
Some believe that it is planetary attrac-
ton. some that it is the fall of great
masses of meteoric matter and some that
it is the result ofinternal commotion and
the upward rush of gaseous explosions,
in comparison with which our fiercest
volcanic eruptions are but the flicker of
flame. Besides the sun-spot agitation
the gaseous outbursts are marked and
vivid. The tongues or rosy protuber-
ances are darting forth in all directions
and bear their testimony to the solar
commotion. Mr.. Trouvelot, of Cam
bridge, who is making daily observa-
tons of the SUMS chromosphere,
gives description of remarka-
Bile solar protuberance that he witnessed
lately. When first seen it was large and
complicated, extending upward from the
sun about 100, 900 miles. Three or four
hours later it had developed into huge
proportions, extending far out into
space, and vanishing gradually into re-
BlOHS WucIo IL WOulu HOI NC peTcelVeu.
As nearly as it could be measured, it
reached a height Of over a quarter of the
SUMS ditsAheter, or about 235, 900 miles.
Such a protuberance hurled upward
from the earth would almost reach the
moon. Two hours later the whole struc-
ture had collapsed, and was only about
$4,000 miles high. Observations like
this give an idea of the mighty forces at
work in the solar orb, and make OBJ
servers long for the time when a salts
factory solution may be found for these
periodical solar disturbances, so init
mately connected with the meteoro-
logical condition Of the earth.
