World, in giving advice about selecting

young nursery trees have all their roots

topple over or careen to such an extent
as to render them almost worthless.
Roast Pork: To insure the crack
ling being crisp and eating short, care
must be taken not to put the joint too
near to the fire at first; it should be
placed at some little distance, if not the

q little good salad oil should be rubbed
in before putting down to roast, and it
must be kept thoroughly well-basted

The Connecticut Farmer says: "a
bottle of carbolic acid should be kept IN
every farm house, not only as a disin-
fectant, but as y wash for wounds and
sores. For any purpose it should be di-
luted with water. Its power to destroy
fungus growth makes carbolic acid in
valuable in pruning orchards of pear,
plum or peach where blight or disease
is suspected. The pruning shears should
be frequently dipped in carbo.ic acid
water"
Farmers who have old orchards
which entirely cover the ground and
VIII CHI can not be cultivated or plowed
up, do no better than to cover the
whole ground thickly with straw or
musty hay. This is best done in the
"odd years." when tho orchard does
not bear heavily. A covering of straw
six or eight or ever twelve inches thick
will generally rot down and nearly dis
appear in a year under the shade of an
old orchard. When blowing is impossi-
bic this practice is probably the best ex-
pedient. Even old corn-stalks are good
for this purpose willamette Farmer.

The Effects Of Draining on the Soil.

The beneficial effects of drainage are
very marked. The stagant water is re-
moved from the surface, and from the
soil to the depth of the drain. Plants
need water, but they do not thrive in
stagnant water. The roots of plants
will even decay if kept too wet. Guilt.
waited plants will not usually extend
their roots into the soil below the line at
which water stands permanently. Land
which is well drained will not only be
dry early in the spring, but will suffer
less from drought during the hot
weather Of summer than the wet soil.
The surface of wet land generally bakes
into a hard crust when the water dries
out Of it, while if it is underdrained Sc
that the water drains away, the surface
will be left soft and pulverant.
Colonel George Z. Waring. Jr., in
his Handbook Of Husbandry. sums up
the advantages Of tile draining, as
follows: ~. 1t greatly lessons the
evil effects of drought 2. 1t enables
the soil to receive a larger supply OF the
fertilizing gases of the atmosphere
(carbonic acid and ammonia). $. 1t
warns the lower portions of the soil.
4. 1t lessons the cooking of the soil by
evaporation. 5. 1t greatly facilitates
the chemical action by which its
mechanical texture is improved. 6. It
tends to prevent grass lands from run
ming out. z. 1t deepens the surface
soil. s. 1t renders the soil earlier in
the ST ing, and keeps of the effects Of
cold weather longer in the fall. 8. It
prevents the throwing out of grain in
winter. 10. 1t enables us to work
much sooner after rains. IL. 1t pre-
vents land from becoming SOU. u. 1t
lessons the formation of a crust on the
soil after rains in hot weather.
The late John H. Klippart, in a SINH
lar manner, summarized the advantages
of draining as follows: 81. The drain
surface. 2. 1t removes surplus water
from under the surface. 3 1t length
the seasons 4. 1t deepens the
soil. 5. 1t warns tho soil. 6. 1t
equalizes the temperature of tie soil
during the season of growth. Z. It
carries down soluble substances to the
roots of the plants. s. 1t prevents
chewing OUT or ~.'freezing out" 9. 1t
prevents injury from drought. 10. It
improves the quality and quantity of
the crop. II. 1t increases the elects
of manures. -. 1t prevents rust in
wheat, and rot in potatoes"
By draining, the rich stores of plant
food which have been for ages accumu-
lating in low, wet ground, are made
available for the use of plant growth.
Many of our swamps and meadows, if
well drained, would prove almost as
productive as the rich prairie land of
the West. Many a man who has sold
his farm in the Eastern States and gone
West to obtain rich land, might have
obtained rich land at home by draining
his wet land.-New England Farmer.

An application, purporting to be

An application, purporting to be
signed by Colonel Maurice Pinchover,
has been sent to the United States Fat
ent Office for a patent for an adjustable
dogs tail. The application claims that
ell dogs, who. either by nature or acct
dent, are minus a tail, encounter great
difficulties in turning sharp corners, as
their center of gravity is thrown too
near the forelegs, and they consequent
ly have to go slow or lose their balance.
The proposed tail can be fastened to
the stump, and, as the dog turns to the
right, the tail will tend to throw his
rear to the left, thus enabling him to
turn easily and rapidly without losing
bis equilibrium.- Washington Star.

A Daniel! Yea, . Daniel!

"a Daniel! yea, Daniel" And Mr..
Wolff assured the spiritualists of Wash
ington last Sunday, that it was indeed
Daniel, (which his last name was Web
ster," who had been writing through a
medium at his house. The writing was
in this wise: an the midst of the SOL
emn splendor, where that which is
basest steals away into the shadows,
and fain would hide itself from the light
of the SURPRISING power of the spirit
where gradually the shadows, the in
frmities of time and tho deformities of
sense give place to the perfection of
spirits and mind-in the midst of this
testify that which has come to me has
come through death. I am transfig-
ured; the being that was seen and known
on earth is me; and lam more than this (;
I am all that hoped to be; I am oil that
I aspired to be. I was imperfect, as
human beings usually are here below
as they sometimes are-.struggling for
higher possibilities. But I am more
than dared to dream; am better than
J. dared to hope" There can he no
doubt of the identity of that spirit. The
literary style is unmistakably Webster
ian; especially that "me," and the cau-
tious alIusion to the fact that human
beings are usually" or at least "some-
tines" imperfect. A Daniel come to
