COTTONWOOD FOR wINDBREAKs.

The signal-service report gave, a
year or two since, some decided in
stances where a heavy growth of cot
tonwood trees checked and prevented
the destruction from tornadoes in
some of the western states, which in
other cases swept away and tore up
buildings. and destroyed human life.
A. W. Sias, of Rochester, Mimi, in
commendation of the value of this tree,
says: Were given the choice, either
to have a one thousand acre tract of
land destitute of trees, located south
west of my house and close to it. or
to allow powder magazine to be set
close to it, think would choose the
latter" In the tornado which destroyed
a portion of that town, there were two
residents who had years before planted
largely of fruit and ornamental trees.
and had escaped almost unharmed. A
fine residence, surrounded with one OF
the best paintings of trees in the coun-
ty, was saved from destruction by
them. Three handsome barns, costing
thousands of dollars, just out of reach
of this protection, were a total wreck.
Mr.. Sias gives in an interesting paper
on the subject in the Minnesota horti-
cultural report, large number OF
cases where dense growth of trees
protected dwellings, and where with 9
sweep over bare land resulted in tota
wreck

As with clothing, SO with food, there
Is "a constant demand for something
better. But n few years ago most pcO-
pie were very well satisfied ii they
could obtain dried apples. peaches. and
berries for use during the winter sea-
son. These fruits were dried in u very
primitive manner. The larger fruits
had the skin removed, the core or stone
taken out, when the pieces were st
tachcd to strings and exposed TO the
sun 10 dry. Sometimes apples and
peaches were sliced or quartercd and
spread on sheets placed in the sun or
on some warm surface. Berries were
dried by placing them on cloths and
exposing them to the sun or placing
them in ovens. These methods of dry
ing fruits enabled many families not
only TO provide for their own wants but
to supply the market with articles
largely consumed in cities. The intro
ducton OF large fruit-dricrs caused the
production OF superior articles. and the
apples. peaches, and berries dried in
farm-houscs brought but los prices in
cities. At present the demand is for

CELERY CULTURE.


AT a meeting of horticulturists in
Michigan, Samuel Buckley, who has
had fifty years experience in celery
culture. and is still raising 1t for
market. gave an essay on the subject.
Celery is water plant, hence thrives
best in low. moist, cool situation. II
raised on upland. and the weather is
dry. it should be watcrcd once week.
Nothing is gained by planting too
early. Rich and sandy soil will fur
nish celery that is very solid, unless
planted later in the season, about the
last of July or lst of August, but not
later. In deep, rich soil 1t is advisable
to plant in trenches about six inches
deep; in ordinary soil on the surface.
First dig n trench, put in well COM
posted manure to which about one
eighth of lime or salt has been added,
cover with soil, aud set the plants
about four inches apart, packing the
soil well about them. Cultivate well
six weeks, then draw soil up against
the plants to keep them growing in an
upright position. being careful that no
soil gets between the stalks That
needed for summer use should have
the soil drawn up occasionally around
it with hoe. Celery should be culti-
waited often; otherwise it will not be
tender and nice. For summer use the
White Plume is the best variety; for
| fall and early winter. Turner's White;
for late winter and spring. Carter $
| Crimson. For winter use the celery
should be placed in an upright posi-
ton, in a narrow trench, dug in dry,
sandy soil. The tops of the stalks
should be even with the surface, and
be covered at first with forest leaves.
| As the season advances covering OF
straw can be added. When it be-
comes colder, more straw can be piled
on. Celery stored in cellar is apt to
become moldy, or acquire "cellai
taste"

SAVING GIRDLED TREES.

1t is said upon good authority that
when tree has been girdled during
the winter by mice or rabbits, it may
be saved by cutting away the edges of
the wound in the spring, till fresh
and healthy bark is seen. Then peel
off strips from limb of the tree. cut
ting them so as to fit the gap exactly.
the ends of the strips pressing against
the fresh edge of the bark. Contine
by bandage, and when circulation is
active, the sap will pass through the
bark thus grated on, and the tree will
grow as well as ever.
Another experiment has been made
something after the same manner
which has proven very satisfactory. In
stead of using bark, five or six scions,
as large around as pipe-stem, and
long enough to reach over the girdled
place, are grated into the tree. First
notch, then spring the shoots or scions
into these notches and fasten the ends
with wax. The principle is that the
scions grow rapidly and spread over
the girdled surface. We have known
of trees being saved in this way, which
had to all appearance been ruined by
mice.

We have outlined the structure of the
cercbro-spinal system, and have stated
what is fairly set down as established
concerning the functions of this sys-
tenn up to the cerebral hemispheres.
With respect to the presence Of con-
seriousness in the parts already exam
ed, it is plain that opinions radically
differ. Some maintain that conscious
ness is not manifested apart from the
action OF the cerebrum, that all nerve
activities below this organ are reflex,
their only distinctions being in the mat
ter of complexity. Others are equally
positive that consciousness accompan-
les all nerve-actions, while still others
assert that certain organs below the
cerebrum-viz, the pons Varolii, cere-
bellum, optic lobes-form a sensorium
commune where consciousness in some
form appears. 1t is my opinion that
this last conclusion has not, as yet,
been established or refuted. ! regard
il as the most rational of the three in
the present state of knowledge. II we
accept it, we must recognize at the
same time distinction between ele-
mentary consciousness and the full con-
sciousness of an intellectual operation.
Many facts in every ones experience
bear out such distinction. We are
often conscious without knowing the
object or occasion of consciousness; be-
ing half-aroused, we feel rather than
perceive. 1t is possible, and from the
evidence il is even probable, that pro-
vision for this rudimentary conscious
ness is made by the ncrve-masses be-
tween the medulla and cerebrum.
Whatever conclusion we adopt re-
specting this matter, the significant
.act remains that consciousness is GER
tain to appear in connection with nerve
matter; sooner or later the question OF
strictly materialistic Interpretation
must be faced. After ascertaining the
present state of the case with regard to
l localizatlon of functions in the cere-
brum. the induction must be drawn as
to the nature Of the relation between
nerve-matter and consciousness. Grant
that this induction shall be more or
less speculation, we need, ] think, to
remember that all reasoning is specu-
latiye, from the nature Of the case
speculative, and that the only distinc.
tion between creduity and reasoning
is this, that credulity is beyond both
the facts and contrary to the facts,
while reasoning is beyond the facts
but accordtng to the facts. - Professor

not hat it should be, and does not
improve rs their consumption increases.
Many unripC or partially dccaycd fruits
are put up at most canning establish
mcnts. As the contents of the cans
can not be seen, there is no way of
Judging of their merits. As rule,
canning establishments are located
-long distances from the places where
the fruit is raised. Perishable fruits,
like berries, do not stand transporta-
lion well, and they are likely to be-
come injured within few hours from
the time thry are gathered. The best
fruit that arrives in city market is
disposed of TO per-ons who desire to
cat it Immediately. That which is of
inferior quality is disposed of at low
prices 10 the Gamers. 1t is heated,
some glucose is added to assist in its
preservation. and it is sealed up in tin
cans and rendered attractive by the use
of SNOWY labels. 1t is better than dried
fruit, but it is not what many families
desire.
Many housckcepers have for years
put MP fruit for their own use in glass
Jars, employing clarified cane sugar in
stead of glucose to aid in preservation.
If they raised their fruit or were able
to obtain that which had been recently
picked, they would have a table luxury
| vastly superior to anything sold in tin
cans. Few town people, however,
raise fruit of any kind and there is
generally considerable difficulty in pro-
curing perishable fruits that are in
GOOD condition for canning. To meet
their wants, some fruit-raiscrs during
,tDc past few years have put up choice
fruits in glass jars and placed them on
tAe market. They have sold at prices
never before realized for canned fruits.

rKoFIrs IN KAIsING HORSES.


Raising horses has been regarded as
the most hazardous and least profitable
of all farming. Too often country
orsc-iockeys have furnished sres of
the lowest cost and in the worst con-
dilion of fatncss and ideness, and vii
lagc jockeys have made the profits
whenever horse has proved worth
the buying. In many sections this is
now changed. The farmers pro, ide
valuable stations of their own, raise
enough horses Of good class to at
tract city buyers, get good prices, and
make the business highly profitable.
Whatever class OF horses may be
raised, II enough are to be found to-
gcthcr to enable the buyer to secure
them in carload lots at uniform prices,
he can afford to pay one-ttird more for
each one ihan he can pay ii they are
widely scattered and must be hunted
up, priced, and brought together at
great expense.
Where but one horse of kind is
owned he is liable to be sold at half
his value, or to be held at fictitious
price until he eats his head off and is
past selling. The selling value of a
horse depends on the estimation in
which he is held. An isolated owner
cannot well tell what that should be.
Often an inquiry or visit from some
one living at a distance doubles the
asking price of horse. Recently "a
Missouri man had Morgan colt that
he was eager to sell at $500 But when
one was ready to 60 800 miles to buy
