Hardy Russian Fruits.

Prof J. L. Budd, of the State Agricul-
tural college at Ames, Iowa. and one of
the successful horticulturists in the coun-
try, has been several years experiment.
ing with Russian frui. for the purpose Of
securing more hardy varieties for the
prairie states. Last year he went to Rus
STA and studied the fruit on their native
soil. He gives notice that he has about
10000 apple trees fol. the dist ribution
uext spring to those who wish to secure
harder varieties than they now have.
and the trees are now two and three
years old. This distribution is not for
speculation, as the college farm is wholly
devoted to experimental work. Prof.
Budd says the price will be 10 cents
each for trees. If 100 are de-
sired, then he will make
the selection Of the varieties, pack and
deliver at the express Office for $1O.25,
which will only cover the cost. It will
be unnecessary to say to those who
know Prof. Budd, that this is q splendid
opportunity for f rmers in the northern
portion of the state to secure fine col
lection of fruit, and true to name. The
supply is not large, as there is limited
space on the college farm to be devoted.
to apple scions. It is beginning, how
ever, as good as that which was made by
the veteran apple grower, James Smith,
of this country, who established the fact
that apples could be grown in Iowa equal
to any grown in the United States. But
he adapted his varieties to this locality,
since when there has been additions,
and the territory is widening out.

PROSPECTS for Hogs,

Farmers may rely on good prices for
fat hogs for at least eighteen months
more. The present amount of slaugh-
tered hogs show large shortage, which
is having its effects on prices. Nor will
this be made up by the spring supplies.
There has been short crop of corn. in
nearly all the hog producing portions of
the northwest for two successive years.
Nearly half of all the farmers have
bought or will have to buy corn which
necessarily operates largely to reduce
the hog crop. But there is another &C.
rious back set to the number of hogs,
the present winter has been remarka-
ly hard on hogs and especially,
ON pigs. It has been almost impossible
to save pigs which were three months
and under at the commencement of win.
ter. They either perish with cold, or
pile up in hot beds at night where they
sweat and 60 out in the wind thirty de-
grees below zero and catch cold, from
which they never recover. Many die
soon, and the balance inger with CON
sumptive cough, which 50 far as the
owner is concerned, better be dead. Our
private Information is that the past win
ter has been very fatal to pigs. And the
current incoming crop has been so thor
oughly swept away that there is scarcely
g vestige left. Consequently, as this
cold and deep SHOWS have covered near
" all OF the hog regions those who have
hogs. or those who are able
now to begin the breeding Of pigs, will
have strong assurance that It Will nay.

What is Burned With Fuel.

The term fuels commonly applied to
coal and wood, but in burning these sub
stances we burn air. also. To every
pound of fuel about thirteen Of air, OF
two and two-thirds pounds Of oxygen,
must 60 to make combustion, and unless
we burn air we cannot burn wood any
more than we can burn granite. The
oxygen of the air and the carbon of the
wood or coal unite. and heat is produced.
Where there Is perfect combustion only
heat is evolved, with neither lllumina-
ton or smoke. If then We should say
that air is fuel and SO treat it, we would
be more accurate. The other constitu-
ent of air, nitrogen, is q neutral pres
ence in combustion, entirely harmless,
and passes off with other gases generated
in the process up the chimney,

was the most popular. 1t was the same
dance under another name as the guide

vulgar dance in itself, but could be made
50 by vulgar people. This. he said, was
true of every other dance. In Vienna
the Ralop led to such extremes that it
was forbidden by law. Then a quick
polka was introduced, which is popular
at balls, but not at private parties. The

of fine salt, two quarts of molasses and
four ounces Of saltpeter. Pack closely

meat. Let it remain thus six weeks and
then smoke. After smoking sew the
pieces up in bags made Of cotton cloth,
