Closely related to the coupler is thu
vestibule, which, within the last two
years has become so fashionable. The
vestibule is not merely a luxury. but
has certain value as a safety device.
The full measure of this value has not
yet been proved. Occasionally lives
are lost by passengers falling from or
being blown from the platforms Of NOV.
ing trains. Such accidents the vesti.
bule will prevent, and, further, it de.
creases the oscillation of the cars. and
thus to some degree helps to prevent
derailment. 1t is also some protec-
ton against telescoping. A few months
ago coal train on double-track road
was derailed, and four cars were thrown
across in front of solid vestibule train
OF seven Pullman cars approaching on
the other track. The engine Of the
vestibuled train was completely
wrecked. Even the sheet iron jacket
was stripped off from it. The engineer
and fireman were instantly killed, but
not another persen on the train was in.

the cars were strong, and partly,
doubtless, because the vestibules helped
to keep the platforms on the same
level and in line, and thus to prevent

BADLY-DRAiNED SOIL.
The Effects Of Water on Growing Plants
Cleverly Illustrated.


Cloverly Illustrated.
Probably no better illustration can
be given of the effects of water on
growing plants than what we see in
the case of plants growing in pots.
Every pot is provided with hole in
the bottom to allow the water to drain
out when the soil becomes saturated,
and with the exception of water or
bog plants this drainage is a necessity.
II we see a plant whose foliage turns
yellow or drops off, or which fails to
grow, and whose whole appearance is
uuthrifty. we are almost sure to find
the trouble to be at the roots, and not
unfrequently we find the drainage is
clogged and the roots are inactive.
Turning the plant out OF the pot,
placing some bits Of broken crock at
the bottom and then some coarse ma
terial, the plant is returned to its
place and filled in. with fresh soil,
and in a short time it starts into new
growth and shows that it can grow
if the conditions are suitable. With.
out healthy roots there can DO
no vigorous growth. A supply of
water is necessary for the, roots to
take from the soil what they want,
but'th water must pass off and not
remain stagnant, or disease and death
will follow. The case is exactly the
same with plants growing in the fields
and where there is an excess of moist
ure below the surface. Pot grown
plants may still further serve to show
bad effect of a surcharge. OF water
in the soil. All plant growers are
very careful in cold weather about
watering their plants at night, know
ing by experience that the increased
evaporation will too greatly reduce
the temperature and thus check and
stunt the plants. The case is the
same in effect over large areas where
the water is held in the soil below the
surface. The Temperature is kept
many degrees below what it would be
if gooG drainage existed. Vegetation
commences later in the spring, arrives
at maturity later and is coarser in text
ure on such soils. The market garden

ulate weeds start up in the newly
set strawberry bed, pull them out
and keep them from going to seed.
A little pruning is very important
but careless pruning is injurious;
hence good care must be taken.
A good way of protecting peach
trees is to mulch thoroughly as far
out as the branches extend Use
bagasse or old wheat straw.
Better let the stock eat the lower
grades Of fruit than to send to market
and sell at prices usually received.
While cuttings can be planted out
either in the spring or fall, as rule
they should always be prepared in the
fall.
A failure to get strong, vigorous
strawberry plants is often the cause OF
failure to get good crop of berries.
Flowing in the fall is a good remedy
for cut and grub worms.
In digging the potatoes select the
seed for next year from the hills that
yield the best, and pick out good
mcdium-sized tubers; store by them
selves.
Clearing up the garden and orchard
in the fall will aid to get rid of insect

GUS, while 1t is very little il any saw

If trees or plants are set out while
the soil is dry care must be taken to
keep the roots moist and to water
regularly until there is a good soaking
rain. ~
| Before investing too largely in fruit
I growing ascertain what varieties your
soil is best adapted to and give them
the preference. The kind of soil as
we'll as the market must always be
considered in fruit culture. ss.
Pruning when the tree is dormant
tends to impart vigor, while pruning
while in leaf or while the plant is
growing checks the growth. Hence
the condition OF the tree should be
considered, and a weak, feeble tree
never bespruned while growing.
When it can be prepared otherwise,
it is never good plan to set out
young trees of any kind in grass
sod. The plants and roots seem to
choke the trees SO that good growth
can not be made.
If good quality OF fruit is to be
grown care should be taken to give
the trees plenty of room and in plant
ing out the orchard allowance should
always be made for the future growth
of the trees.
Do not seed the orchard down until
the soil has been made rich by the ap
plication Of manure. Applying ma
nure on plowed land and then working
we'll into the soil will insure the bes
results in building up the fertility.
In the fall is good time to set GU
the asparagus plants in a permanent
bed. Make the rows at least two fee
apart in the row; it will always b.
found best to give the plants plenty o
room.
