The growing Of horseradish roots
for sale Is an art, but one easily
learned. The idea that neglected
patches may be dug over with much
profit is generally Elusive. Roots So
grown are long and struggling. while
a considerable proportion viii be old
and stringy. The secret Of success is
to plant small sets deeply in rich soil
one Spring and dig them out the fol-
lowing Winter. There viii then be a
large, thick root between the set and
the surface Of the ground which viii
necessarily be Of last seasons growth
and Of best quality. The more fertile
and better cultivated the soil the
larger and better the root viii be. The
beginner should make sure OF his
market before attempting to grow
horseradish on a large scale. - Cultica-

A Question or Orchar4s.

The owner of one of the most extern
sive and finest orchards in Western
New York is quoted by The Americap
Rural Home as entertaining these
views:
MY orchard is too large; I think /
shall cut down half the trees, and be-
stow all my manure and attention on
the remainder. Nothing short of high
culture will give good fruit. and plenty
OF 1t. Poor fruit, and small crops don't
pay. Good fruit, and large crops re-
quire great deal of manure; more
than can be supplied at any reasonable
cost to large orchards. I intend to
take out every other tree, leaving them
sixty-four feet apart, plough the
ground in fall, SOW it to peas in spring,
let the hogs harvest them, SOW to rye
in September. plough in the rye the
June following; repeating this every
two or three years, and using in addi-
ton all the manure / can make"
Major Hugh I. Brooks in comment
upon the above shows that something
may fairly be said on the other side Of
the subject:
"While would not plant a very
large orchard, I would not cut itdown

TO remove ink stains from the hands
without injury to the skin the follow
ing hints should be observed: There
are two sorts Of inks. those known as
iron inks, and the aniline inks. Iron
inks are removed by oxalic acid and
aniline inks by solution Of chloride OF
soda or of chloride Of lime. The form
er is better. The same may be applied
to clothing; but as soon as the solu.
tions are applied ard the stain removed
always Immediately immense them in
cold water and thoroughly rinse. Iron.
and aniline ink stains may be distin.
guished from one another by staining
piece of cloth with the ink in ques
ton. If oxalic acid does not remove
it, it is aniline ink, If it does it is an
iron ink.

Drying co ~


Mr.. George Simpson. an English
dairyman, says he has found, to his
cost, that the ordinary practice of dry
ing continuous mixers giving from
twelve to sixteen quarts daily does not
answer at all. Instead Of attempting
to dry COWS giving quantities Of milk
he now finds it better to turn them in
a loose box and feed on oat straw. BY
this means the dow Of milk is reduced,
and gradually they dry themselves off,
without any evil effects following.
The practice Of suddenly checking the
flow of milk of good mixers by the
ordinary method has resulted in his
case in three Of his cows slipping their
calves within forty-eight hours after
the drying process had begun. It has
been observed that. where it has been
attempted to dry large mixers sud-
denly, the uterus and breast became
indamed. Dairymen win find it highly
important TO pay particular attention
to their cows, especially those of the
Guernsey and Jersey breeds, which are
great mixers. - Canadian Breeder.

The mode Of death to which the ami

not BY suffocation or asphyxia. Ply
siOlogIcally. there is distinctive diff
ference between these modes Of death,
Death By anRsthesia is death BY sleep;
death by asphyxia is death By depriva-

typically represented in death BY chic

represented in drowning, or in INNER
sion in carbonic-acid gas. When prop

by far the most certain and least vlo-

both are probably painless. 1t is
worthy Of record, however. that all
