The Imnudent InterlOner.

A Washington Post writer tells the
following incident which occurred when
Hale, of New Hampshire, aud Foote, of
Mississippi, were in the senate: Foote
was bald-headed, with venerable
fringe of snowy white hair running
around the base of the shining dome OF
his skull. One day he startled the SEN
ate by walking in with a dead black
curly wig covering his head. Hale arose
at once "to question of the highest
privilege" he said, in explanation that
the senate was too familiar with the VEN
erabld and distinguished features of the
senator from Mississippi to be for one
instant deceived by the impudent and
audacious interloper, who, upon the ba-
sis of mere facial resemblance to Mr.
Foote, had introduced himself into the
senate and into the very seat of the ven
cradle senator. "Look," said he, amid
great laughter, sat this youthful i'm
poster" and then, with characteristic
flourish of satirical suggestion, the New
Hampshire senator moved the appoint
ment of a committee to investigate the
case. When he concluded, Foote turned
very coolly toward Hale, and, lifting his
black wig from bis head. said: "De
you recognize me now? Do you think
it necessary to have special commit
tee?" Hale withdrew his motion.

Concentrated Fertilizers.

Another years experience convinces
me more and more that all kinds of con-
centrated manure are of most impor-
lance when used as barnyard manure.
Take any of our succalent growing veg
etables, such as cabbage and celery, aud
1 do not think any of the commercial fer
tilizers are sufficient in themselves to
carry crop of either to full maturity,
unless the ground for years before has
been heavily laid with we'll barn
yard manure, and less exhaustive crops
grown than either cabbage or celery. A
good test we have had of this the pres
ent season. During the early part of it
we had abundance of ram, which slim
ulated everything into rampant growth;
the dry weather followed, and unless a
heavy manuring of well-decayed ma
nure was supplied in the spring, the
crops failed to fully mature, owing to
the lack of food to maintain the strong.
rampant growth which started in the
spring. The greatest strain on the soil
is when the crops are maturing. and #
the supply is deficient at this time the
crops will not amount to much. Now,
if the stimulant be some one of the many
fertilizers, and used alone, the early
rains making them soluble creates
strong, rampant growth in the plants.
which require to maintain an abundant
supply of food, which, however, by the
dry weather setting in, stops the solu.
bi]ity OF the manure, and as conse-
quence the plants starve; at the time
they require the greatest amount of
food supply, they have the smallest. If
the ground, in addition to the supply Of
concentrated fertilizers, has had good
dressing Of barnyard manure, which,
when the dry weather sets in, is not SO
soon affected and continues supplying
sufficient food to plants to bring them to
maturity, Twill be right. For autumn
wheat and other fall-sowed crops which
come to maturity generally before the
dry weather sets in, any good brand Of
fertilizer, possessed Of the properties in

crops as come to maturity during the

He Won His Wager.


Two young lawyers in Boston were
bantering each other concerning their
sbrewdness, and one, who had been dis.
tanced in boasting by his companion, at
last exclaimed, II will wager good
dinner and bottle Of wine that I can
ride in the street cars from Scollay
Square to Roxbury Crossing without
paying my fare"
"Pooh, pooh," said the other, "any
man can dodge horse car conductor;
that is nothing" ...
g But I will take you along with m ,,
and we will not dodge the conductor,
but on the other hand talk with him on
the way"
"Done,' cried the other, and having
agreed at what time and place the wager
should be paid, they set out together fol

one instantly made rush for it.
s'Hold on" exclaimed number two,
"that's not fremont Street car"
| "Keep your tongue still and follow
me" said the other savagely, and he
pulled his companion upon the f1ont
platform. They then walked leisurely
through to the rear platform, where
they found the conductor.
"Does this cal go to Jamaica Plain q
asked number one
"No, SIR" replied the conductor
"Jamaica Plain cars starts from the
fremont House." II
! ooh, alb, said number one, starting
to get off again; 81 beg your pardon,
I'm sure"
"Might as we'll ride down to the
other car, sir" said the conducto,
pleasantly.
"Just as you please, thank you,"' re-
spopded number one sffably and so the
two lawyers rode free to the fremont
House. Here they got off and quietly
waited till a fremont Street car came
along. Boarding this, lawyer humble,
one asked the conductor if the car went
to the Art Museum. Receiving a mega.
tivereply and implicit directions as to
the car that should be taken for that
place, he proceeded leisurely to get of

Cultivating Orchards.

There continues to be considerable
difference of opinion as to whether fruit
orchards should be cultivated or not.
We think, says the Germantown Tele.
graph, that the opinion of many expert
enced cultivators, which has always been
our own, and which, from time to time,
has been given in our columns ought to
have weight. We thin that young apple
or pear orchards can be cultivated with
safety for two or three years after setting
out, and planted with the least exhaust
ing vegetables, especially lettuce, beets,
cabbages, cucumbers, tomatoes, canta-
leups, squashes, ETC., until the trees
reach from two and half to three inches
in diameter, when the ground should be
put in meadow grass and remain un-
touched by the pillow ever after, all the
manure required beinga good top dress.
ing every few years. We are firmly of
the opinion that when fruit trees arrive
at stage where they are able to take care
of themselves, they do decidedly better
in grass than anything else, and this
grass returns heavier crop of hay than
timothy or clover, and is also excellent
for pasturage for both cattle or swine.
We have seen hundreds of pear and ap-
pie trees of choice varieties 20 situated
annually loaded with fruit and the trees
in healthy condition. We have still
upon our premises pear trees believed to
be over $50 years old, standing in sod
which has been disturbed only once in
fifty years, as we know, being in our pos
session over thirty years-tnat annually
produce heavy crops, and three of them
are still in thrifty condition. This
would seem to be pretty strong evidence
in favor of the non cultivation of stand
ard pears.

Planting Forests.

A writer in the American journal of
Forestry, in pointing out the requisites
for success in stocking artificial forests
lays down two very important essentials,
namely, thorough preparation of the
soil and the selection of healthy and Wig
orous plants. Prairie and other land is
to be very thoroughly plowed and ba,-
rowed and 1eharrowed till reduced to a
complete state Of pulverization. It will
do no harm to plant the ground thus
prepared for one season with corn and
potatoes, in order to continue and per-
feet its condition. The young trees be-
fore setting out should be well examined,
the writer asserting, no doubt with
truth, that very large percentage OF
all the forest trees planted on the north
western prairies are practically dead be-
fore they are set opt. This is especially
true OF evergreens, and the trouble is
aggravated by the fact that many plant
ers do not know dead evergreen from q
live one, and set out much stuff which
is only fit for the brush heap. This re-.
mark will apply to other than forest
planting, judging from the number of
dead evergreen trees all through the
country within few months after trans
planting. There is great deficiency in
the proper and intelligent care Of young
trees from the moment they are lifted
from the nursery row till we'll and prop.
| erly fixed in mellow soil where they
are to remain; and the remedy appears
to be line upon line until owners and
their employees understand that trees are
to be treated with a care equal to that
given to young animals, and that they
cannot be thrown about and exposed to
the air at the roots with impunity. No
planter should value himself on his skill
until he can take up and set out a thous-
and or even ten thousand young trees
without single lost one, for if all have
good and equal chance none will die.

The Thirsty Eucalyptus.

Where there is surplus moisture to
dispose of, as, for example, cesspool to
keep dry, large eucalyptus will accomp-
lish not little, and agroup of them will
dispose of vast amount Of house eew-
erage. But if you have water which you
do not wish to exhaust, as good Well,
it would be very wise to put the euca-
lyptus very far away. Daniel Sweet, of
Bay Island farm, Alameda County. re.
Gently found q curious root formation of
the eucalyptus in the bottom of his well,
about sixteen feet below the surface.
The trees to which the roots belong
stand fifty feet from the we'll. Two
shoots pierced through the brick wall OF
the well. and, sending off millions OF
fbers, formed a dense mat that com.
pletely covered the bottom of the we'll.
Most of these tibers are no larger than
threads, and are so woven and inter.
twisted as to form mat as impenetrable
and strong as if woven in a loom. The
mat when first taken out of the we'll was
water-soaked and covered with mud, and
nearly all a man could lift, but when dry
it was nearly as soft to touch as wool,
and weighed only a few ounces. This il
a good illustration of how the eucaly plus
absorbs moisture, Its roots going so fal
as to fiud water, pushing themselves
through brick wall, and then develop
