FARM NOTES.

WHAT The RooTs OF PLANTS Do
The roots are the aiImentary channels
of plants they absorb the liquid food
for the plant, the only form III which IL
can be taken up. The operation goes
on at the extremities of the roots and
through the root fibrils and the root
hairs when they are present. The ex-
tremities of the roots are provided with
a sort of spongiole, or with organs pos
sessing the same office as sponge, IN
absorbing moisture when in contact
with it. The root hairs produce liquid
acid which comes in contact with the
particles of the soil. which by its action
corrodes and produces solution which
is then absorbed. This acid does not
pass out OF the cell, but the corrosive
action, the digestive process so to
speak, Is due solely to the absolute con-
tact of the cell of the root with the par
ticles of the soil. Thus it will be seen
that besides the liquid food that may be
contained in the water or moisture In
the soil the digestive action OF the
roots is also necessary. Another impor-
tant Office of the roots of plants Is the
absorption of the oxygen gas contained
in the soil. 1t is accessory that plants
have supply of oxygen through the
roots or they will die from suffocation.
In this process carhonic acid gas Is
thrown of and with the moisture IN the
soil converts the insoluble carbonates
into soluble bicarbonstes, and the same
OF the phosphates. 1t is thus explained
why mechanical action upon the soil
becomes necessary. such as plowing and
narrowing, and shows why tillage is
manure" As stated, loosening of the
soil is necessary in order to admit the
free passage of oxygen to the roots for
absorption and throwing off the carbon
ic acld gas. All the processes of nature
work for a specific purpose and it Is on
Iy left for the farmer, If he would de-
rive the best results from his operations,
to work in entire harmony with the
processes of nature. 1t becomes a great
study to learn regarding plant life,
which is of the greatest Importance to
every farmer.

The MIRACULOUS APPLE.-To divide
an apple into several parts. without
breaking the rind: Pass a needle and
thread under the rind of the apple,
which is easily done by putting the
needle in again at the same hole II
came ont of: and SO passing on till you
have gone round the apple. Then take
both ends of the thread in your hands
and draw 1t out, by which means the
apple will be divided into two parts. III
the same manner you may divide ii
into as many parts as you please. and
yet the rird will remain entire. Pre-.
sent the apple to any one to peel, and
il will Immediately TALL to pieces.

CLOVER is an excellent green manure
for renovating the soil, out 1t is not
adapted to every use. A young orchard
will be almost ruined by seeding to
clover, and bearing orchard will be
often seriously injured. For young APP
pie orchards old enough to produce fruit,
but which persist in growing more wood
instead, seeding down is sometimes
beneficial. 1t checks too rapid growth
and thus induces fruitfulness. One
reason why clover as green manure is SO
injurious to orchards is that it is not
generally ploughed under until the trees
are in full leaf. This Is great check
to their growth, and the subsequent
rotting of the clover sod stimulates an
excessive growth late in the season,
which does not ripen its wood and is
liable to be winter killed. This alter
nate check and stimulation is especially
injurious to pear trees and is apt to
cause blight.

Emery Wheels. soId wheel,
made of pine, or any other soft wood,
and of the size required for this pur-
pose. Turn the wheel true, and then
turn rounds or holIows IN its face. to
suit the tools he wishes to grind,
gouges. rounds, etc., mentioned by him.
Then let him prepare some best glae,
and using it hot and thin. put it on the
face Of the wheel with a brush. The
first coat OF glue should be light one,
and when it is dry second one should
be applied, and as quickly as possible;
as much emery should be sifted upon
the wet surface as the glue will hold.
When this is dry another coat of glue
ana emery should be applied iu the
same way. This will make a wheel that
will last for months, and grind faster
than anything else.

APPLE PUDDING Stew a half dozen
large apples into nice, smooth sauce,
and add while warm a half tablespoon
of fresh butter, and sugar enough to
make thoroughly sweet. Heat little
butter in the frying-pan, and then pour
in cup of bread crumbs, which must
then be stirred over the fire until they
are pale brown. Then sprinkle these
on the bottom and sides of buttered
mold: put three well-beaten eggs and
half q teaspoon of lemon juice into the
apple sauce, then pour it INTO the mold,
strew some OF the bread-crumbs over
the top. and bake fifteen minutes
Turn out on hot dish, and serve with
wine sauce.

Decay Of Iron Ra'lings.-Every one
must have noticed the destructive COM
bination of lead and iron, from ratings
being fixed in stone with the former
metal. The reason for this is, that the
oxygen of the atmosphere keeps up a
galvanic action between the two metals,
This waste may be prevented by sub
stituting zinc for lead. in which case
the galvanic action would be inverted !;
the Ehole of its action would fall on the
zinc, the one remaining uniniured, the
other nearly so. Paint formed OF the
oxide of zinc, for the same reason pre-
serves iron exposed to the atmosphere
infinitely better than the ordinary paint
Composed of the oxide of lead.
