FARM NOTES

CARE OF FRoZES PLASIs-WheD
by any mishap the plants, whether IN
parlor or greenhouse, become frozen,
either 1T once remove them (takIng
care not to touch the leayes) TO some
place warm enough to be just above
the point of freezing; or, IL there are
too many TO do that, get up the lire as
rayidly as possible. and raise the tenn
perature. The usual advice IS 10
sprinkle the leaves and shade the
flowers from the sun. We have never
found either remedy OF any avail with
frozen plants, and the sprinkling Is
often a serious injury If done before
the temperature Is above the freezing
point. In our experience with thou
sands OF frozen plants, we have tried
all manner OF expedients, and found
no better method than to get them out
OF the freezing atmosphere as quickly
as possible; and we have also found
that the damage is IN proportion 10 the
succulent condition of the plant ana
the intensity OF the freezing. just
what degree of cold plants in any
given condition can endure we are
unable to state. Plants are often
/ frozen so that :he leaves hang down,
but when thawed out are found to be
not at all injured. At another time

the same kind of plants may kill them

more thriftily. and are full OF sap
Much depends on the temperature at
which plants have been growing
When the frost is penetrating into a
greenhouse or a room in which plants
are kept. and the heating arrangements
are Inadequate TO keepit out, the best
thing to do Is TO cover the plants with
N wspapers or sheetiny. Thus protec-
/ ted, most plants will be enabled 10

by cheers and groans and volleys from

chained once round, and then, amid
one great shout from the multitude, he
is committed to the fire, which has lull-

when, the supplies having become ex-

GREAT LUCK.
Good Fortune That Came By Chance
and Business Sagacity.

One cannot help being struck with
the important part of the element OF
chance PLAYS in the history OF most
men who acquire great fortunes
It is peculiarly illustrated in the
career of Thomas II. Williams, a Cali
fornia six millionaire. He went from
Kentucky to the Pacific slope in 1S49,
and settled in Virginia city. AS at
torney for a mining company, lie ac-
ouired a claim against it for 81, ,5O0 Ior
services. and when the company failed
he bid In its mine for the amount OF
his claim.
He moved to San Francisco, years
rolled on and the transaction hao
passed from his mind, when he was
one day approached by a representa-
tive of Flood. Mackay Il O'Brien, VINO
offered him 500, 900 for his long Tor
gotten mine
He was not a greenhorn and he at
once refused the offer, as he did sue
cessiye offers of $3.50, 600 and S5OO-OOO.
But when a member of the great urn
came to see him with proffers OF nego-
tiatlon. they were not rejected and re-
suited In the reception OF the Drm's
check for SC 100000
1t was a great piece of luck, but the
luck was supplemented by keen busi-
ness sagacity.
/ In April, 1887, Charles w. Sprague,
an orange grower at Chaseville. FIa.,
was lying in bed, suffering the tor
ments Of tie cursed" with disease OF
/ the kidneys, with which he had been
troubled for two years. He had been
under the treatment of An eminent
physician but kept growing worse.
One day when, as he says, "even hope
/ itself had become inanimate, a casual
acquaintance happened in and advised
the trial of Warmers safe cure.
He hesltated, because it was 4 pro-
prietary medicine. but the testimonials
of its efficacy were so convincing that,
as business man, he could not doubt
the wisdom of trying it. The result
was that May goth, 1887, he wrote:
From the first dose L commenced to
improve, and have now recovered my
health"
Mr.. williams owes his large fortune
and Mr.. Sprague owes his life tC

IN orchardlst AYERS that the form IN
which an apple tree is trained has
much to do with its early or late com
ing into bearing. The trees which
grow very erect, as the Northern Spy,
are very slow IN becoming productive.
This upright growth may be corrected
by cutting out the centre while young
and bending the outer branches slightly.
AS soon as a branch begins to bear it
is naturally bent down by weight of
fruit, and this continues the produc
tive habit In the dependent branches
the flow OF sap is somewhat checked,
and this Iusures the formation of fruit
buds.

IL they have a mare that Is broken
down and unit for labor, no matter
how coarse or badly formed, she is re
served to breed from. Again, the
cheapest horse, no matter how coarse,
If sleek and fat, is employed TO breed
from. This is why many farmers will
say that breeding does not pay. They
will not breed unless they chance to
have in possession Il lame, heavy mare,
unfit for farm labor. The same farmer
is particular to select the largest and
soundest potatoes, and the cleanest
wheat and oats for seed. He has
learned that this is true economy.
