NY experience has been that eggs ex-

not hatch. II is very important then that
the eggs should be gathered in every eve

teeted from the chilly night air. To re-
main in the nest in a freezing temperature
would be fatal to them.
To setting the hen care should be taken

Fruit Tree TrasplantinS.
How 20 Plant.

( good plan Is to take pillow and break

checking fifteen, twenty to fifty feet each
wa as you may elect, running i've or six
mqe burrows each way, making sure to
briak the land as deep as you wish to set

rim all broken roots smoothly and
draighten them out at full length in the
lole; cover carefully, so as to get the
arth firmly around each root, then fill up
tle hole and press the soil down firmly
vah the foot. Not one tree ina thousand
will die il planted this way, provided
TIE tree was all right when it was
set. As a general rule trees should be
Tansplanted'to the same depth that they
TODD in the nursery, or where they were
crown. Dwarf pear trees are an exception
10 this rule, and should be planted deep
enough for the union OF the pear and its
ounce roots to be below the surface OF the
ground, so that natural roots may shoot
out from the pear in the course of time,
thereby converting the dwarf into a stan
dard tree. The object in breaking the
land each way, as above advised, is In
order that the roots NAV have free access
toloese, mellow earth, to run in every
direction from the tree. If only q small
number OF trees are TO be planted a mat
took OF spading fork would suffice, using
care 70 break the ground each way several
feet from where the tree Is to stand.

Raising Asparagus Plants.
jamaican, Arrinultnrist :

\ pound of good seed will furnish about
ten thousand plants. Sow the seed in
rich mellow soil, as early as it is ready.
Sow in drills fifteen inches apart, drop
ping the seed an inch apart and cover an
inch deep. As soon as the plants appear
hoe between the rows, and any weeds in
the rows that cannot be reached with the
hoe should be pulled by hand. Keeping
the Seeding plants free OF weeds, thin
ming them so that the hoe can be used in
the rows, is the first step towards making
a good asparagus bed. Colossal, Palmetto
or any OF the improved kinds are better
than the common.

Russian Apricot in Kansas.


G. c. Bracket, Lawrence, Kas., writes;
From the occurrences of the past two or
three years, much evidence leads our
planters into the belief that the Russian
apricot (which we all had hoped would
become valuable substitute in regions or
sections of the state where the peach can
not be depended upon is not reliable in
resisting unfavorable conditions of climate
1t is a well-knOwn fact that in 1886 almost
the entire crop of the Mennonite. settle
ments was ruined by the plum curcuio
and gouger, besides suffering from fungus
attacks, being injured more than the peach
often is, and large portion withered on
the trees, so severe was the attack. The
crop OF 1887 was an entire failure in those
sections, and the closest search fer pits
failed 20 find even one-half hushel. /
have them grated in branches OF the early
golden apricot trees, the growth OF which
is vigorous and healthy, and their fruit
heads fail as often as any OF our more
common sorts. " -.. -.,-.

young lady aged about twenty-onc wears,

see the flowers burst from the buds. Last
October the bush was given 20 a friend,

or so later Miss Leonard became i'll, and
soon after the oleander bush began put
ting forth buds, an unusual thing at that
period of the wear.
The buds developed gradually as Miss
Leonardo illness grew worse. Herdeath oc
CURED some weeks after. The village had
been searched over for some white flowers
to place at the throat OF the corpse, but
none could be found. The day the re-
mains were TO be removed the budding
oleander bush, which Mrs. Goodyear had
been patiently watching Tor ten weeks to
bloom, burst into bloom, and, instead of
the customary red flowers, the'entire bush
was covered with sRow-white ones. 4

and placed on Miss Leonard's coffin, just
as the remains were being removed for

BILE fruit, always handsomer and finer
than is usual on large trees. The sap has
not far to travel painfully through thous-
ands of cells and against gravity to reach
the leaves from the root-points, and so the
leaves are eonlpleter, and the fruit better
fed than on the big trees.
1t used to be common in the neat
French gardens, and probably yet, to see
rows OF dwarf apple trees trained like
low, horizontal fences at the back of
flower borders; separating them from the
vegetable ground. In other places they
would stand here and there at intervals
in the borders, their shoots pinched into
pyramidal form, or left long, but reduced
in number and trained to wires, giving
them the shape of letters or figures OF dit
ferent kinds To an admirer OF handsome
fruit nothing of the kind can be more de-
lightful than the products OF these trees.

may be sown first are beets, carrots, par

These may be sown in rows fifteen inches

 Zacher was to go to the Legislature in the interest of the Pool Brewers, but he got left.

 To vote for Edmund Zacher is to vote for your enemy, for the following reasons:
 1st Zacher was hired by the oppres- sors of Organized Labor, namely, the Pool Brewer Bosses of New Haven to prosecute workingmen.
 2d. Iacher, combined with others, concOcted a scheme to entrap three members of the Brewers Union, No. IA. of New Haven, by inducing them to sign document for a settlement of a strike, and, after they had, the three men were arrested under the Conspiracy Act.
 Sd. During the prosecution ZaCher' > utterances were mean and violent at tack against Organized Labor in order to secure a conviction.
 4th. Zacher used his best efforts to prejudice the Judge and the Court in the most contemptible manner against Organized Labor.
