GopHERs AND MoLEs IN ORCHARDS.


A correspondent of a San Francisco
paper writes: II n patent could be Sc
cured for tho eflectual expulsion Of
gophers from orchards the patentee
would be likely to realize a fortune
thereby. And yet the plan is within
tho reach of all. While pruning the
orchard of S. ID. Marcus, who lives a
few miles east of jacksonville, ! was
struck with the thrifty appearance of
the trees and the total absence of any
sign Of gophers. On inquiry, Mr.. Mar
Gus informed me that few years since
the gophers were very numerous in
the orchard. and made sad hayac
among the trees, nearly destroying
them. Having previously observed
that the ground mole would not work
in or near manure heaps, he camo l."
the conclusion that manure placed
about the roots of his trees might pos
sibly prevent tho depredations Of tho
gopher. The result more than met his
expectations. Since he has commenced
putting more manure about the roots Of
his trees not gopher has been seen,
nor oven the sign of one, besides, tho
trees have been greatly benefited by
this manuring. Mr.. Marcus says he
simply digs away the soil from
the trees, and places q few forks
full of stable manure around the
trunks of the trees and covers II over
with the soil. II there is moro manure
than can DO conveniently covered, he
spreads it about the trunk of the tree.
by this simple device he has not only
driven these pests from his orchard but
greatly benefited it by enriching tao
soil. Mr.. Marcus deserves gold med
nj for making this discovery. And it
affords mo much pleasure to be able to
give it through the columns of your
widely. extended journal, which l find
in nearly every household where | go.

TIE BREEDER's CAPITAL.

A very important part ofthe capital Of
the professional breeder consists of the
reputation no has won by some form Of
Advertising. One who has such rep
utation or has tho skill, determination,
and money necessary for its establish
ment can we'll afford to pay thousands
of dollars for an animal for which the
average farmer could scarcely afford to
give hundreds. Want of due consider
alton for this fact has led to no little
disappointment. Men have paid high
figures for fine stock, have given them
and their progeny the best possible
care, have in consequence been able to
offer Mt public sale or privately animals
of the best character, and have been
disgustod because after all their efforts
they have seen stock not as good sell
for more money than they could get.
The records OF public sales of cattle in
this country furnish ample evidence Of
the truth of this, but this is. after all,
only evidence of the truth that in these
days no who has anything to sell must
make the fact widely known If he would
not accept whatever price the buyer
sees lit to offer.
If the breeder raises stock for the
butcher 1t will pay him to give reason
able price for pure-hred sire; and so.
too, II he is raising cows for the dairy
or sheep for their wool. 1t will not
pay him to give such high price for
such an animal unless he can sell Its
offspring for correspondingly high
rates. This he cannot do unless he
uses the same means rs professional
breeders adopt for creating a wide and
strong interest in their offerings. For
tunately 1t is by no means necessary to
pay what are perhaps justly character.
izod as "fancy" figures for animals
that will effect great Improvement in
the common stock OF the country.
Many remarkably good animals can be
found in the herds or the focks of nom
professional breeders, and us rule
these may be bought at prices that
make tho investment safe and profit
able, even when there Is no sale OF
their progeny at high figures. for breed.

EXPERIMENTS IN coRN-eRow1Na.

A Michigan farmer who wished to
find the best way prepared two pieces
of land, of like size and soil, by top
dressing ono and plowing-under in the
other an equal quantity of well-rotted
barnyard manure. Both piats were
planted with corn, and tho same care
was given to each. Tho result Is thus re-
ported: "In October the corn was
husked and weighed. Allowing seventy
pounds in the ear per bushel, the sur
face-manured plot produced 65 $50
bushels per acre. Tho one with the
manure plowed under produced "a 81
20 bushcl, yielding within fraction Of
nine bushels tho most. conclude tho
old practice of blowing under manure
Is good one, for this season at least.
One thing in regard to the growth of
tho two plots surprised me very much,
and that was that all the first of the
season, until the plants were from
eighteen inches to two feet high, the
plot where the manure was covered
was very much in advance and looked
as though it would be the best by two
to one"
An attempt was made to determine
how large tho top must be before tho
roots reached manure covered six to
eight inches deep:
"When the corn was two inches high
with two open leaves, the roots were
found to have penetrated the depth of
six to nine inches, thus refuting
the assertion of the advocates Of
surface manure plowed under is lost to
the growing corn crop because the
roots cannot reach 1t until late in the
season."
Mr.. Eugh proposes repeating his ex-
periments this year, since he realizes
that the results of single experiment
are not conclusive evidence. 1t Is in
the power of every intelligent farmer
to carry out in farming operations ex-
periments any one of which may be of
incalculable value through the knowl-
edge of improved processes that may
result.

How She Beat the Old Man.

A good story about the Arion ball is
told by New York correspondent: A
well-known man in the beau monde
fell victim early in the evening to the
charms of a particularly fascinating
little siren. His devotion continued
all the evening, but the siren was OBJ
durate and refused her name or a
glimpse of her face. Finally she agreed
upon the presentation of a nice new
800 bill, to let him know next day her
name and address, requesting him at
the same time to make q motto of the
number of the bill. Wednesday the
unfortunate man received the follow
ing epistle: "Dear Papa-I am so
dreadfully hard up this month. Can't

HORSES TO BE wATERED BEFORE FED.
Bearing in mind that the stomach of
a horse Is small in proportion to tho
size of his frame, he requires feeding
often. and, though three times day Is
sufficient, four times Is better. Unlike
human beings, horses should drink be-
fore they eat, because, owing to the
confirmation of the horse, water does
not remain in the stomach, but passes
through II into large intestine called
tho cecun. II the horse be fed first,
the water passing through the stom-
ach would be likely to carry with 1t
particles of food, and thus bringing
about collie. Whatever o groom may
say, let horse drink just as much as
he likes. II he DO watered four times
day he will never take very much or
too much to be good for him. A horse.
it must be remembered, is fed on dry
food, and this, with the strong work
done by a. hunter. always pro-
duces feverishness, which sufiicien-
cy OF water tends to allay.

The Deepest Well in the World.

The deepest well in the world is To-
Gated at Homewood, Pl. The average
depth of the Homewood wells is about
1850. In the well now drilling every
thing found of the nature of gas or wa
ter at depth of POO feet was cased Oft
as unimportant, and the drill ut pres
ent is said to be little over 5000 feet
below the surface, which would make
it by all odds the deepest well in the
world. A careful record is being kept,
and particles of each formation en-
countered preserved. Since it would
have to be Il very prolific gas
vein to justify such deep drilling, it is
difficult matter to conjecture the OBJ
Ject that prompts sucn Il work, unless
it be purely to satisfy Il morbid curios-
ity. There are in Washington county
some wells drilled to Il depth of 1000
feet. and the only others, SO far as
known, approaching the depth reached
at Homewood is an artesian well in
