The present month is one OF the best IN
which to prune and trim apple trees. OF
the entire year. This has long since been
settled The difficulty is that usually the
farmer has so much to do that he don't
get to it. hence it is neglected till spring
and then he is SO busy with other work it
cannot be attended to. Now the sap is
dormant; the leaves do not interrupt the
sight, hence the top can be well formed
when thinning the branches, and there is
no injury to the live wood where branches
are cut off, as they heal over readily in
spring. Old wood and dead branches can
be better removed from the trees now than
at any other season.

writer in the American Naturalist
for October, presents his reasons for the
variations in forest rotation, and examines
the views of other writers and scientists.
DR.. Clevenger of Chicago thinks that dur
ing the hundreds of years that have been
necessary to produce the great pine for
ests, the chemical constituents of the soil
have been largely drawn upon fol- the
that something near exhaustion, or at
least enfeeblement of the soil has taken
place to such an extent that seed which
in its development required different soil
constituents from the pine, would follow
that tree. In Scandinavia, Scotland,
Engla America and many other coun-
tries. the oak seems invariably to succeed
the pine. Mr.. John T. Campbell. the
writer in the Naturalist. in criticising DR.
Clevenger's idea of soil exhaustion, says
that in all the pine forests he ever saw the
individual pine trees showed no more evil
dence of enieeblement. than do the trees
in forests where all kinds grow promiscu
ously together. He then says "A few
years would test this question if some
body would plant an infant pine and oak
together near grown oak, and the same
near grown pine. There should be sew.
eral of each planted to guard against acct
dents to either kind spelling the COMPARE
son. and then observe their comparative
progress few years" This, Mr.. Camp
bell thinks. would settle the question. ard
he hopes somebody who can will try tn,
experiment and report the results.

Oleomaroarine or artificial butter was
invented or discovered by NJ. Hippoyte
Mege, manufacturing chemist of Paris,
France. Mege was instigated to make
his researches into animal fats and their
nature in consequence of a prize offered
by the French government for the purpose
OF obtaining a substitute for butter for the
use OF the navy and the poorer classes,
that would cost less and keep from rancid
ity longer than butter With this object
in view NJ. Mege began his Investigations.
1t was then understood that most animal
fats were composed of a mixture of three
fats, viz: stearine, margarine and
oleine. The stearine was the hardest of
them all, not melting below 143 degrees
Fair. margarine next at 1913 degrees.
Fair. and oleine remaining liquid to near
ly the freezing point of water. The pro-
cess of making this article, now so COM
mon, and which has caused one of the
hardest legislative struggles ever known
in the history OF our Congress, involves
the separation of most of the stearne
from the oleine and margarine, hence the
name "oleomargarine, or the two animal
fats olene and margarine combined or
united. M. Mege's process was patented
by him in this country December 80, 1873,
and letters were issued to him by our Gov
eminent to this effect.

Are The Indians Dying Out!
Washington Star

The Indians decreasing in numbers:
Certainly they are" remarked a well-in-
formed Official of the Indian bureau in
conversation upou thes subject. The re-
port of the commissioner for last year
shows that there has beeu a decrease since
the previous year of nearly 5000. For
instance, the total number of Indians, ac
cording to the commissioners report in
1884, was 264 1863. and in 1885, 259, ,4S3.
If there could be made an actual count of
the Indians the numbers would be much
less. We succeeded in counting the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians recently,
and found that they numbered 1900 less
than the estimated made by lodges. The
indians are supersit Gus about being count
ed, and besides they make more ration
when family of three gets supplies for
a family of five. An attempt to force an
actual census would probably result in
war, and as the same result Is being grad
ually attained the authorities have never
tried to compel the taking of the census.
There are the Sioux Indians for example.
They have never been counted, and it is
probably that if an actual count was made
teeir latest numbers, as now reported
would be reduced some two thousand,

The Canadian Pacific Railway Company
proposes to pay its debt TO the Dominion
Government in a very simple manner. 1t
offers to relinquish the monopoly clause
in its charter which prohibits for the term
of twenty years the construction of any
com peting road in Manitoba or the North
west This feature of its charter il values
at 10000, 600, and will give it up if the
Gominion will give il cIedit for that
amount on it its indebtedness. The bal
ance Of its debt it will pay by surrender
lug back 100000 acres Of land, to be, of
course, selected by itself. 1t is "a new way
to pay old debts" superior 10 any that was
ever before invented, and it is character
istic of the distinguished financiers who
have managed from its inception the af-
fairs of that highly -eodowed corporation.
If If could pay off dabt of $2o,0o0,ooO
by striking three useless lines from its
charter and by giving back all the worth
less swamp and barren lands included IN
its grant the operation would be magni-
fcent one. Probably four or five million
acres of its land grant lie on the snow
clad sides and SUBMITS of the Rocky
Mountains, and as much more are under
water iu the impenetrable marshes north
of Lake Superior. If it can pay all its
debts with these lands at the rate of 81 an
acre il will do remarkably well.
