and the young orchards of hundreds Of
others were bravely coming forward to
lay their first offering at our feet, look
ing hale and hearty and apparently
defiant to test winters or dry summers.
| had been there and could not be very
Jubilant, but the owners of these young
orchards we're as brave as lions and
threw up their caps when the news
came, time after time, that Iowa apples
had won first premiums on account
OF their size and rare coloring at east
ern shows.
In turn some of these have gone into
the test winter after the dry season and
the full crop, but over and over the
new succession comes on to repeat
what is, to seme of the old stagers, an
old story.
Out of it all comes the true story that
the list of test iointer iron clad. is very
short, and they are all summer and
half varieties except in cases where
half hardy winter varieties are top
worked out on the limbs of undoubted
iron clad stocks.
With this statement, the family or
chard / am willing to recommend in
this section, can be readily guessed. 1t
will read something like this: Plant
about two hundred trees. A surplus is
a good thing, a shortage in supply a
bad thing for the family. An orchard
of two hundred trees is worth fencing
and caring for; q few trees are apt to
be neglected.

Amber Cane.

DR.. Hedges,of st. Louis, says that the
proper time to cut cane for forage Is
when the seed tufts are fairly out, and
in the bloom, which is before the shell
of the cane has become very hard, or
the cane sugar is developed, as the glu-
cose in its nature is easier of digestion
than cane, sugar or sucrose. 1t Was
in this that our eastern ensilage exper-
imenters made mistake in my opin-
ion, both in sorgo and in maize; they
let it get too ripe, being anxious to get
cane seed and ears of corn. The shell
of the cane hardens rapidly after the
seed is III the dough.
Mr.. Hedges also says: 1t is no longer
doubtful but that the Orange cane will
become in this climate perennial, and
after this year l will only plant every
two wears. | have tested it now effect
ually for two years and am convinced
that the stubbs will stand colder wealth

The Lost jeanette.

The San Francisco Call publishes a
letter from DR.. H. G. Ledyard, an
American, now in Siberia, to friend
in that city.
At Irkoutsk DR.. Ledyard met Lieut..
Danenhower, who gave him very inter
esting details of the loss of the jean
nette, from which the following ex-
tracts are made:
Since the first fall when they were
caught by the ice in trying to reach
Herald island, they had never taken
course out were held as in the jaws of
death, squeezed till every timber quiv-
cred, turned this way and that, thrown
floating and then caught again, and
every hour in suspense, never knowing
when the ice would close upon them.
A little more and the deck sank be-
meath them. Throughout this strain
they were well and trying to be cheer
full, working very hard for the engine
and men were barely able to keep the
water out. They had to pump for a
year and half; June II, 1881, the cri-
sis came. The ship showed greater
straining than before, the deck culver
cd, and inexplicable movements warn
ed them. They prepared their boats
and made their camp beside the vessel,
She rose and turned in her cradle t..
the yards touched the ice. Then the
rigging gave way. The masts lay pros
trate. At o'clock in the morning the
foe parted, all went down. The cry of
alarm called all to escape from the
crevice in the ice. 1t opened just
through the captains tent.
Then began the retreat. Twenty
nine days they struggled southwark.
Three hundred miles OF broken ice
were thus passed over. Four miles
day was thought good fortune. After
ore series of fourteen days they were
twenty-seven miles further north than
at first. While working over the ice,
dragging three boats, they discovered
Bennett island, to explore which they
spent three weeks of their precious
summer days, and expended much OF
the limited supply of food. To this de-
tour those who survived attribute much
of their suffering, and the death OF the
commander with nineteen men. After
three months of this perilous and ex-
haustive work they came to blue water,
and then with fair winds took theH
course for the north of the Lena rlve1.

WHAT HERURDOCK WAS GOOD
FOR.

aGood for nothing" the farmer said,
As he made sweep at the burdock's head;
But then. he thought it was best no doubt,
To come some day and root 1t out
So he lowered his scythe and went his way,
To see his corn, to gather his hay,
And the weed grew safe and strong and tall
Close by the side OF the garden wall.
"Good for home" cried a little toad,
As he hoped up out of the dusty road.
He had irst been having u terrible fright,
The bow who gave it was yet In sight.
Here it was dark and cool and green,
The safest kind of a eafy screen.
The toad was happy; "For," said he,
THE burdock was plainly meant for me.
Good for a prop the spider thought,
And TO and fro with care he wrought,
Till he fastened it well to an evergreen,
And spun his cables fine between.
Twas beautiful bridge triumph OF SKILL
The flies came round as idlers will;
The spider lurked in his corner dim,
The more that came, the better for him.
Good for a play, :" said child, perpe
To know what frolic was coming next
So she gathered the burrs that all despIsed,
And her city playmates were quite surprised
To see what a beautiful basket or chair
Could be made with little time and care.
They ranged their treasures about with pride,
And played all day by the burdocks side.
Nothing il lost in this world of ours;
Honey comes from the idle flowers;
The weed which we pass in utter scorn,
Nav save a life by another morn.
Wonders wait us at every turn.
We ruust be silent, and gladly learn,
No room for recklessness or abuse
Rven the blrdoek has its use.

Poultry Notes.
Western {Wis.) Farmer.

To those engaged in raising poultry,
either for pleasure or profit, the present
must be time of unusual care and &C
tivity. AS warmer weather approach
es, vermin Of all kinds, which are the
pest of the poultry men, axe on re-
newed activity, and unless active and
aggressive warfare is made on them
they will blight and destroy your pros
poets. A sitting hen covered with these
active and blood thirsty parasites is
uneasy en- her nest, constantly getting
off and on, breaking eggs and raising
mischief generally.
The perches and interior of the hen
house will be swarming with lice, and
as fast as brood of chicks are Matched
they fasten upon the tender chicks and
sap their vitality, stint their growth and
finally they die of starvation aud lice.
Now how can all this be prevented or
overcome if the mischief is already
done. Dolly the most vigorous and &C
tive treatment will suffice Make some
whitewash from fresh lime, have it
we'll salivated with carbolic acid, and
thoroughly whitewash every part of
your hen house. Empty the nest box
es and serve them the same way. Clean
the perches and saturate them with
kerosene oil and carsolic acid. If your
sitting hens are lousy, dust some "per-
sian insect powder" under their wings
and between the thighs among the fluff
feathers. If the hen and her chicks
are afflicted, anoint the hen with sui
phur ointment under the wings, and
enough will reach the chicks to do the
work. Repeat the process as often as
required.
Now is the time to get your chicks
off. If Matched later than the last of
May they will not amount to much in
this northern climate. Prepare your
coops before the chicks are Matched.
Have them protected from the cold
storms that are occurring now, and from
the hot sun that will come by and by.
Keep fresh water before them, feed Of
ten and what they will readily eat up
clean.
No one can expect success without
labor and extra pains. No business
pays as large profit as poultry keep
ing if properly carried on. Your early
pullets will begin laying in October or
November, and you will have plenty of
fresh eggs when they are high and
scarce.

RAISE SMALL FRUITs.--It would seem
that no sane person would require
arguments to induce the planting CT a
full supply of fruits for home use.
Yet we often hear, 80, | can buy
cheaper than / can grow Them" What
does this meanY VIII he buy two large
farm wagon loads of grapes, and have
them fresh every day for six months?
Will he buy 20 bushels of Strawberries,
and as many other small fruits, besides
pears, peaches and cherries in album
dance? My family and friends and
lab1rers eat rs many annually, and
they are economically IN every sense.
No-he has in mind the buying of %
single basket or SO of grapes, 20 quarts
of berries. and few baskets of peach
es, mostly to be canned-simply an
agravation- and then he will pay large
doctor bills, and continue to argue that
it is cheaper to buy fruit. Why, there
is not one family in one thousand that
can say they have an abundance OF
small fruits, peaches, pears, etc. 1t is
nothing less than crime thus to sttie
natures demands for those healthiuI
blessings.-FruH Grouey.

Sugar Cane.

Mr.. S. Hanson, an experienced sOr-
ghum man, has the following in the
Palmyra Enterprise:
For number of years past and ever
since | first raised Early Golden Cane,
have firmly believed that there was
no necessity for importing our sweets
from foreign lands or even from south
ern states, but that we could grow and
manufacture them at home and feel
sure they were not adulterated.
The little leaven has been working, ex-
banding and increasing until capitalists
are not fearful of investing in the en-
terprise of sorghum manufacture.
A few years has convinced the skeptic
of his error, ard some that turned up
their nose at the sound Of sorghum
have almost forgotten there was a
"twang," to it. Many are now con-
WINGED there is money in the industry,
and once settled in the best method of
manufacturing it, the result will be sur
prising."
"The season for planting sorghum is
ar hand. Some new hand will proba-
bly, engage in raising it, and by select
ing piece of land free from weeds
will save much time and labor. Do
not plant ORA poor soil, be sure and
procure good seed, have the ground
mellow, take care in planting; do not
dig little hole with the corner of the
hoe and cover some of the seed two
inches deep, but make q level place
for the seed and be sure not to cover
it more than one inch deep, pressing
the dirt upon the seed, but not with the
heel of the boot.

Tia Brooklyn Eagle on Jesse James.

IN0 BToOSCyb EuDtS Ose ceSSe 00SaeSs
There is a vein of humor and sarcasm in
the Brooklyn Eagles sound suggestions to
Gov. Crittenden, of Missouri, that has such o
direct bearing on the newspapers whose moral
sensibiities were outraged by the manner Of
Jesse James taking off. that we reproduce the
Eagles article for their special edifcation:
1.-THE dead criminals horses have been pur-
chased by o circus manager, and Mrs. James
has been offered pos ton to travel in the
will be ready for the midsummer season, and
should not be omitted from this amazing eata-
logue of relics of crime. If the autographs
of the visiting and other statesmen who stole
the presidency, and the marginal note of Mr.
Blaine to Minister Hurlbut, together with o
list of Mr. Shepherds 'clients," could be
added, the circus would be complete.
1t is not quite clear that Mrs. Jesse James
cannot be indicted and executed as an accom-
plice of the late Jesse IN some of his two score
murders. If Governor Crittenden wants to
finish up the good work he has begun he had
better look into the matttr and see whether a
requisition demanding the body of Mrs. James
from the governor of Kansas is not In order.
If there is any legal way of holding her re-
sponsible fors her share in the various MUIR
ders attributed to her lamented spouse, the de-
voted sheriff should be permitted the priv
fege of adjusting moose round her delicate
neck as tenderly and effectually as possible.
Then she would not need the subscriptions
The poor little children might then be taken
in hand and educated in a direction the very
opposite of their early experiences. True
charity would look to their rescue from the
blight of such parentage and the speedy oblit-
Grafton of their precious relatives"
