the combs until it commences to run
out of the spout, and then / stop up the
spout, put on the cover, and the steam
is forced up through the combs, and the
wax drops through the screen, and the
refuse settles to the bottom of the can,
except what remains above the screen
| When done, the wax can be drawn on
into receptacle containing some hot
water, and allowed to cool, and 1t Is
ready for use without second melting.
A French grower OF roses offers the
following statements deduced from facts
under his observations
l. Ii IN the spring some rose bushes
are pIuned, and on the contrary. some
others are allowed to remain without
any suppression of the branches, the
latter will come into bloom about a fort
night before the others; their flowers
will be more numerous, and at the same
time less beautiful.
2. If some rose bushes are completely
pruned, and upon some others are lett
only some twigs, these latter VIII have
advance in time of bloom.
3. II ewo rose bushes are pruned alike,
one at the end of September, and the
other in February. The one pruned In
autumn will flower first.
4. H.toWards the middle Of September,
the branches of a rose bush are laid
down horizontally. and those of another
bush IN exactly the same condition are
left in the natural position, and in the
spring both are pruned alike, the bush
with the branches laid down will bloom
first.
5. In pruning rose bushes before vege-
tatlon starts, that is to say, in Febru-
airy, bloom on them will be obtained in
advance of that which will appear on
bushes pruned later.
6. Pinching the young shoots, as they
start on bushes after pruning, retards
blooming very much. In this case the
pinching should be done before the
flower buds appear, or when the young
shoots have only three or four leaves

In the earlier days of the silo it was
thought necessary 10 fill it with the ut
most dispatch to prevent fermentation
and in case the ensilage began to heat,
it must be cooled with water Now we
are taught that the true way to preserve
the ensilage sweet is to allow the temper
ature to rise TO point destructive of the
bacteria. Director Sturtevant, at the
State Experiment Station, Geneva, on
June 10, opened silo filled gradually,
nine months before. The filling was
corn and. sorghum cut into average
lengths of three-quarter inch pieces.
There was found six inches of mold on
top, but below that was frst-class. The
upper layer, which became musty, sery-
ed as protection to the bulk of the en-
silage. The proportion OF this spoiIt
ensilage to the whole mass would be OF
course, greater in a silo of little
depth than in one which is deeper. The
preservation was such that nine months
or more keeping seemed TO be no detri-
ment, and it was very evident that il
might have remained closed even longer
without suffering harm. When we con
slider that this ensilage, placed in small
quantities on different days. and after
an interval, was equal in quality to the
former product of the same silo placed
in rapidly, and with the most careful
precautlon. twill appear that much I'M
necessary labor in filling the Silo was
employed in the past. 1t seems very
probable that no especial pains need be |
taken in order TO get good results, ex-
cept that the silo be tight. or III other |
words. that the arr be excluded, and |
that the various filings shall folioweach |
other before putreiactive changes can |
take place from the previous filings -
