PEAS AND CORN.

There appears to be some differ
ence Of opinion as to whether peas
have an injurious effect upon corn
when planted with it in the drill.
From my own observation, ! am dis
posed to think that there is no inju-
rious effect from such a practice. Cow
peas benefit the land in several ways.
The dense vines shade it from the
heat Of the sun and thus protect the
roots of the corn; they have long
tap.roots, which penetrate to a great
depth and draw up fertilizing materi-
ais which become Incorporated in the
plants, and which, but for these tap
roots, would remain beyond the reach
Of the surface roots Of such staple
plants as corn These tap-roots, by
going down deep, disintegrate and
loosen the soil. and, when the plants
die, actually fcrtilize the soil by their
own decay and the vines themselves,
when turned into the land, either
dead or green, restore to the surface
soil the fertilizing clements that their
tap-roots have drawn from below
Corn has principally surface roots,
and gets It's nourishment from the
top soil, while the pea vine gets its
nourishment IRON a lower stratum ;
50 that the two plants do not inter
ferc with each other
Still am disposed to think that it
is better for both the corn and the
land that the peas be planted between
the rows, as, thereby, while the roots
Of the corn are amply shaded, more
Of the land is protected from the heat
Of the sun. Il. II. +. in Home and

CHANGE THE FRUIT.

Almost every apple orchard con
tains trees bearing lruit so inferior as
to be nearly if not quite worthless.
Why not graft on such trees better
fruits Any person half intelligent
can learn in It few minutes to do the
grating, and this little bit Of knowl-
edge well disseminated would add
thousands of bushels Of fine fruit to
market, and thousands of dollars to
the pockets OF farmers. If the "old
man cannot be bothered with it, lie.
the sons learn to graft for their own
profit. tjo to your thrifty neighbor
who does not neglect so important a
matter, or to the nurscryman and
lean to graft or you may see all the
methods illustrated and explained by
watching the columns of amy good
agricultural Journal. Very old trees
are not well suited to top grating,
neither are very young trees the best,
though any thrifty tree may be sue
cc-slulIy grated. Trees of several
years bearing are perhaps the best,
but if not thrifty, they must be made
so by digging about them where the
orchard is not cultivated and fertil-
izing If the gratis are expected to
be profitable the trees must be at
tended to. Cut away so much of the
foliage Of the trees to hc grated as
may interfere with or sap the arms
bearing the gratis, but it is not safe
to cat away all the foliage Of a large
tree at amy time. 1t would be better
70 make two or three Jobs of it at diff
tcrcnt seasons, cutting each time
SUCH ARMS az ARE TO be used and
thinning remaining foliage. When
finally all the old tops is cleared ont,
be careful that some shoots or sprouts
OF the old tree be left to grow and
bear leaves until the CRAFTS are large
enough to furnish the leaf power.
Neglect Of this causes the death Of
many trees, and will account fol
many failures IN top grating. But
the sprouts So left should be below
not above the CRAFTS, and should in
general be ON the opposite side, of
amy limb or branch from the graft
Shading the graft will be advantage
Gus. but it must be allowed to smoth
er ia a wilderness Of young sprouts
Keep all these rubbed of except the
few left for foliage. Finally keep the
tree n good order and see that the
gratis are not split off from the moth
en- branch By the wind.

is the yearly collection for the hospitals
on Hospital Saturday. In almost every
corner of the great city and its suburbs
are to be seen ladies seated at small
tables set :on the sidewalk. A large
placard is attached to the table soliciting
contribution. On the table is placed a
box with slit in the lid through which
penny can be dropped, and on the box
is printed the worde, aFor the hospitals. !"
The lady does not solicit contributions.
She sits on a chair beside little table,
sometimes knitting complacently or has
a book in her hand. Often a couple of
little girls act as solicitors and modestly
request the passers-by to remember the
sick and the wounded. Ladies of the
highest social standing do not consider it
beneath them to attend to contribution
boxes on Hospital Saturday. These little
tables obstruct the crowded thorough
fares, They are on the bridges and
along busy streets, but everybody cheer
fully gives way for them, and few pass
them by without dropping their mite in

Production of Insect white Wax.

The British consular agent at Chung
King, Mr.. Hosie, has made tour
through certain districts of China for the
purpose of gaining information concern
ing insect white wax. He has found the
substance to be the product Of minute
brown, Gce-like insects which exist, to-
gether with a small black beetle, In ex-
crescence OF gals attached to the boughs
and twigs of an evergreen called by the
Chinese athe insect tree" Early In May
these gals are collected and placed on
the wax tree, usually a stump, from
which rise numerous sprouts. The crea-
lures soon deposit white coating on the
boughs and twigs:: which often reaches
thickness of a quarter of an inch In
ninety or 100 days. The branches are
then Topped of, and the wax is care
fully removed by scraping and boiling.
The material is then poured into molds,
and becomes the white wax Of COM
merce, used for candles.-San Francisco

armored ships Not In Repute.

1t is, therefore, fact that armor clads
are drifting into disrepute? 1t can not
be disguised that at the present time
there are very earnest debates on this
point. The question as it affects the
armored ship stands differently from
what it did some years ago. An insig-
nifcant torpedo boat may by one blow
destroy the InheMble. To meet this
species of peril it has been proposed to
armor-plate the bottom of the ships.
Such proposal sesms to be carrying
the principle of employing armor to the
verge Of absurdity.. There is a demand
on the part of naval officers for jcrinoline
netting to protect the ships against loco
motive torpedoes. But where this de-
vice is adopted it can not be said to give
a sense of security. Moreover, the use
of such an appliance initiates against
the speed and hardness of the vessel,
and exposes her to other risks.-Engish

A Woman of the servian War.

There is a young woman at Widdin
who went through the Servian war dis
guised as man. Only the commander
of her company knew her secret; she
was obliged to disclose it to him when
the company set out upon its march, and
he appears to have Loyalty kept it to him
self. In all exercises, parades and re-
views she took part jointly with her male
comrades. The heroine took part in the
forced march into Servia, fought at the
battle of Sivnitza and joined in the at
tack upon Pirot. Her comrades voted
to her the company's medal for bravery.
When, in consequence of the war coming
to an end, the militia was dispersed, she
went to Sofia, and was there presented to
Prince Alexander, who awarded to her
a second decoration for bravery. She
then returned to Widdin, her place OF
domicile before the war, where she now
acts as servant to an old lady.-Foreign

stock for year or more, will be eaten by
worms if not kept in q dark place or

aiding the painting which follows in its

The most interesting and least appreciated
Of dogs Is the dog that visits. He is usually
o liyer-colored animal, two hands high and
about. twenty-six inches long, with aEpinl-

pattern throughout. and if any part Of him
should break it would be impossible to re-
place it.
The dog has no calling list He never
makes calls. He has neither the time nor in
clination to practice cold formalities. As an
illustration of the manner in which he goes
visiting we may refer to tho experience
which Caledonia avenue man had with him

Then the man discharged the servant on

wife that he was going to get the brute to

when the gentleman had walked about two
