Pecan Trees and Pecan Nuts.

| see with much satisfaction the grow
ing interest for the cultivation of pecans
and other nut-bearing trees, living as l
do in the centre of one of the best pecan
growing sections in the world. Here
the trees grow naturally all over the
country. 1t occurs to me that, from OBJ
servation and experience, / can offer
few hints that may be of service to those
who are making these efforts. The pc
can tree will grow almost anywhere.
1t seems able to stand any amount Of
cold, nor is it injured by the heat of our
protracted summers
But there are other things to be con-
sidered. Most writer's seem not to take
into account the fact that there are
many varieties of pecan, and there is
as much difference in the quality as
there is in the sorts and sizes. Some
have thick and others thin shells. Some
are very early, and others very late
These, however, are only matters of
taste or fancy. Tho real idea of para
mount Importance is with this tree, as
with fruit and other trees, its health and
freedom from insects Like the walnut,
the foliage Of the pecan tree is not infre-
quently totally destroyed by the cater
pillar. Hence those trees that have the
thickest, toughest foliage do best
There is one sort growing here the nuts
of which are an inch and half long,
with a medium thick shell, OF short,
stubby growth, apd with foliage so thick
and tough that have never seen it in
jured by insects of any species. This
variety is very early, and for this reason
is frequently gathered by eager boys
before fully matured. The nuts are
soon gone, and seldom reach the markets.
Here we plant the seed in the fall soon
after they are gathered. They sprout
well in the following spring, growing
about two feet the first year. As soon
rs they drop their leaves in the fall we
lay bare one side of the root and root
prune them, replacing the dirt. In the
spring, before the plant growth begins,
we pursue the same course with the
other side. In this way fine lot of
young roots are developed, rendering
the transplanting in the fall easy and
as safe as other nursery grown trees.
Pecan trees are easily grown, and will
flourish in almost any kind of soil.
Every one can have an abundant supply
by planting the nuts. Texas Cor. N Y

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

--Rest and freedom from annoyance
Ere essential to animals that are being
tattened for market.

tablespoonful of Barley, one quart of

do not boil, for two hours.-Ihe House

Nothing is more susceptible to for
eign matter than bad butter If a
farmer be not of this let him place
pound or so of butter near a. piece of
ordinary soap, or a few onions, and ex-
clude the air for few days and he will
be convinced. Albany journal.
Water Pound Cake: One pound of
flour, one pound of sugar, one-half
pound of butter, four eggs and one cup
of warm water. Use prepared flour, or
put into the flour before Sitting it two
teaspoonfuls of any good baking pow
der. The cup of water must be quite
warm, but not really hot. Beat the
eggs separately. Exchange.
"A Western writer says: "Buy small
trees. Small trees, ten chances to one,
will come into bearing sooner than the
larger ones. The larger the tree the
less fiber there will be upon the roots.
A tree that has plenty of fibrous roots
will live and flourish, while one that
lacks such feeders will languish and
die"
German Bread: One pint of bread
sponge, one cup of sugar, one eg& one
piece of butter the size of walnut;
beat them all together till light, stir in
flour till it is as thick as a cake, let it
rise till light, then bake in a moderate

ley or oats and fed to animals intended
for the production of milk and meat.
The quality of most roots is improved
by growing them quickly. With the
silo for preserving green food for use in
winter dairying at that season of the
year might be rendered profitable.
Farmers would have leisure for taking
care of COWS and manufacturing the
milk into butter. 1t has been shown
that cattle raised in Wyoming make s
larger growth at the same age than
those raised in Texas, and that their
flesh is much better. Dakota. being a
prairie country, docs not afford as good
natural protection, but in other respects
it appears TO have greater advantages
for stock raising. With the short sea
sons Of the extreme northern portion of
the country, more stock food is raised
than in the South, where there is no
snow and but little frost. The best
mutton produced on the continent is

Watering Animals.

All animals should be watered before
feeding. An interval of fifteen minutes
is sufficient, but an hour is better. And
they should be watered frequently and
not permitted to flood themselves from
excessive thirst. The reason for this is
q good one. The system absorbs water
very rapidly, so much so that cow or a
horse will drink at one time more than
the stomach can hold. The water drank
is absorbed with great rapidly as
soon as it enters the stomach and in
testines, and a thirsty animal will absorb
it as fast, at first, as it is swallowed.
This is especially the case with horses.
But when the stomach is filed with food
copious drinking dilutes the mass, which
is carried into the bowels. past the
stomach, where only it is prepared for
digestion, and theS food is wasted or
worse. Water is not required to dilute
and soften the food for digestion. This
is the Office of the saliva, which is an
active chemical agent. and performs an
actual share of the digestive function.
All that is wanted is that the blood
should be well supplied with water, so
that the saliva should flow copiously,
which it does to a larger extent in rumi-
nants and horses than in any other ami
mails. And this is done by a full supply
of water when the stomach is empty of
food, at intervals of few hours, not
more than six, during the day.-M y

A Good story About HOLSTERS.

"Lobsters Ii cur us critters" said an
old man whose weather-beaten face,
half concealed by an unkempt gray
beard and oilslSin suit, stamped him as
fisherman, at the Eastern Station the
other day. They're Just as sensitive
as a bile, and | cal'late they know an
almighty sight. Folks say as how
Holsters is treacherous, but | allus found
if you treated 'em half as we'll as you
would a dog they'd reciperate every
time. If you think you can pick
lobster up by the tail and drive spike
with him you make a big mistake, and
don't you forget it. A lobster is hu-
merus cuss, too, and he can appreciate
joke quicker'n two-thirds OF the men.

The official census recently taken il,

The official census recently taken in
China for the purpose of taxation shows
total population 255,00o,0OO. This
does not include the Mongolian and
other outlying dependencies of the En-
pire, but only the eighteen provinces of
China proper. Nor does it embrace the
aboriginal tribes which exist in very
considerable numbers in the Island of
Formosa and in many provinces. Max
ing due allowance for all these. for the
Mongolian dependencies and for the
under-statement due to the purpose for
which the census was taken, it is prob
able that the sum total of the population
of China really exceeds 800, 600, 600.
