England's Colossal Ordnance.

Of all the ll0-ton guns that have been
made for the English navy the only
ones now in condition for use are those
for the Rainbow and for the Sansparell,
and the Rainbow's guns cannot be fired
for fear assures already visible may de-
velop into fractures, while the San-pa-
reil's guns are still ashore. and are be-
ing strengthened with iron bands and
otherwise fixed up in the hope that
they will stand firing. The second gun
of the Victoria has just been returned
to the shop for repairs and to be
strengthened.

Rule for Apple Orchards.

For successful orchardlng, there are
many requisites to be observed, which
are given in extended articles, and
which on account OF their length the in
experienced are apt to overlook. They
may therefore be more useful if con-
densed into the following thirty eight
brief rules:
l. Select a good soil, such as will
raise good farm crops.
2. Make it mellow at once, or with
previous mellowlng crops.
3. Hillsides or rocky places are ad-
Missile only in case plenty of barn
manure can be had for annual top
dressing.
4. See that the land has good natural
or artificial drainage.
5. Choose young and vigorous trees,
not over two years old from the graft.
6. See that ample roots are secured in
digging-enough to stiffen the tree
without stalking, and give ready
growth.
Z. Avoid large, overgrown or stunted
trees, which have short roots mutilated
by digging.
8. Remember that good supply of
roots is more important than straight
stems or handsome heads.
9, Procure well proved standard va
r;eties, and not new lauded sorts.
10. IF trees from distance are partly
dry when received, bury them for q
week, top and all. in finely pulverized
moist soil, to restore them.
II. Before setting out, dig holes
broad enough to receive all the roots
without bending.
-. Use no manure, except on the
surface. after setting or in the remote
parts OF large holes.
Is. In setting out spread the roots out
equally on all sides, at the fnll length,
and fill in compactly fine mellow earth.
IA. A ter set, shorten back the long
shoots and thin out where too thick,
giving neat, even, moderate mead.
Is. Always shorten back before the
buds swell, and never when partly or
wholly in leaf.
| Is. Keep the ground for several feet
| around the newly set trees clean and
mellow all summer.
| II. Keep the ground cultivated over
| the whole surface for SIX or eight
years after transplanting, after which
allow grass to grow only in case a good
| annual or biennial top. dressing of ma
| nure can be given.
Is. AS the roots of growing trees are
as long as their height, avoid the mis-
] take of spading or manuring narrow

chide not at the seasons; for if spring
With backward look refuses to be fair,
My love even more than April makes me sing,
And bears May blossoms in the bleak March air;
Should summer fail its tryst, or June delay
TO wreathe my porch with roses red and pale,
Her breath is sWeeter than the neW-moWn hay
Her touch more clinging than the woodb1ne's
trail.
Let autumn like a spendthTift waste the year,
And reap no harvest, save the fallen leaves;
My love still ripeneth, though she grows not

And smiles enthroned on my piled-up sheaves;
And last. when miser winter docks the days,
She warns my hearth and keeps my hopes

Home Lighting.

Don't put up" with a wretchedly
poor light, even if you do use lamps;
and don't keep them within reach OF the
the children. For the obtaining of the
first, get good burners even if you have
cheap lamps. For the second, fasten
all lamps in brackets as tar as possible
above the little ones heads. Chande-
liers can be had in beautiful designs or
lamps as well as gas, and at just as wide
a range OF prices. The Rochester burn
eTs are the best, giving a clear, soft
light. They consume good deal of oil,
but one good lamp is better than six
poor ones.
Ali lamps should be filed in the day.
time and at regular hour. They must
not be too full; they must be very care
fully wiped of. The globes and CHM
neys should be kept clean and clear.
The wicks are best trim med by simply
rubbing off tue charred surface.
The light is often affected by the
holes in the burner becoming clogged.
This can be remedied by boiling the
burners in strong solution OF washing
soda.
When the lamp is lighted. it will be very
evident to one sense at least, whether it
is too full, not wiped perfectly dry. or
turned down too low, as from any of
these causes an odor that is powerful if
not sweet, will ascend toward Heaven.

Good and Bad Roads.

Good roads save horsefesh and vehi-
cles; bad roads wear out both Good
roads are the exception in this country,
and bad roads the rule. In the winter
and early spring portions of our coun-
try are almost inaccessible owing to
the soft. muddy and dangerous cOndi-
ton of the roads. According to the re.
cent examination OF the matter it was
estimated that a load which one horse
can draw on level iron rails will require,
on smooth, Level asphaltsroad, one and
two-third horses; on bad Belgian pave
ment, three and one-eighth horses; on
good cobble-stone road, seven horses;
on bad cobble-stone road, thirteen
horses: on ordinary earth road, twenty
horses; on sand, forty horses. The
wear and tear on horses and vehicles
will thus be seen to be great on poor
roads. The question comes to every
farmer, and, In TACT, every one who
lives in the rural districts. Good roads
should be obtained by all means, and
there is no better way than to have the
matter discussed at the farmers clubs.
Enough money and labor are annually
spent on the highways of most of our
states to produce good roads, but the
result does not yet show that good judg-
ment has been exercised in expanding
the time, labor and money. This then,
seems to be the most important ques-
ton for farmers to settle. Another
question to decide before spring is
whether certain road beds should be
surface drained or underdrained with
tile. Some roads can be greatly i'm
proved by shortening them, or cutting
off curves and windings. A great deal
of unnecessary wear to horses and We
hicles could thus be saved by attending
to the roads in time.-A. b Barrett, IN

Destroying Orchard Insects.

At the late meeting Of the Western
New York Horticultural Society this
subject was fully discussed. Prof. Bail
ely supposed that all agree that spraying
apples and pears is success ul. 1t was
once supposed that the adult curculio
does not eat, but it does eat fruit and
foliage. Experiments for two or three
years have proved that it eats foliage
and fruit of plums, and other fruits and
many plants. If we spray the leaves it
kills The beetle but does not reach the
egg and Larvae. They do fEd that by spray
ing plum trees two or three times we
can get rid of good per cent. of them.
Many have preferred London purple
because it is lighter and more complete
ly held in suspension in the water, but
experience this year had shown that
London purple has injured foliage. He
told story of an old neighbor in Michi-
gan, who, following his advice, had
SPRAYED a fine orchard. but had care
lessly used at the rate of pound to $50
gallons of water. The foliage was
ruined aud the man was greatly en-
ragged at him. In the end it turned out
that the purple only thinned the fruit.
new leaves grew. and he had the most
profitable crop he ever grew. There is
danger in using purple on peaches.

YAKIMA OR OLYMPIA

Ellenshurgh is adjusting her armor pre- |
paratory to entering the arena again 10 do |
battle in defense, or rather in pursuance,
of her claim To be the best location for
Nashmgton's state capital. The matter
bears interest to all citizens. and here,
for example. Is the way the Ellensburgh
Localizer draws Its warlike pen in behalf
of that aspiring city; Some of our con-
temporaries are trying To make ms believe
that as Ellensburgh came out third in the
former race that it would be better for
her to drop out of the race and make no
further effort In thar direction. We be-
lieve that it would result in the choice
of Olympia by a decided majority: for
that reason We demur to any such an
arrangement. and for the further reason
that justice and fair dealing should
place the capital east of the mountains.
Then. too, there is nothing to be- lost
by the DELAY. as at the end of that time
the people all over the state will be
better prepared To decide the matter
than they are nov. Money had a good
deal to do in determining the standing of
the two rivals that were arrayed against
Ellensburgh. The longer the contest Is
continued the more likelihood that JUS
tiee and right will carry the day A fair
deal Is what We want; il the contracted
views of the vest side votes are To carry
the day simply because they have the
power To do II We want To know the status
of feeling the Sound people have for the
east side. The business relations of the
Sound cities with one another Is not of 50
close nature as TO justify dragging the
entire eastern division the whole length
of the state. simply because the power Is
inherent to commit the wrong. There
will be. in time. heavy trade between
the two sides. and friendly relations
should be cultivated
Now We give all parties Interested notice
that We are ia the race 10 stay, and
will not be brushed aside To give
Olympia chance To get away with
Yakima, and have an easy triumph. as
she certainly would. We do not want
Yakima to consider that our efforts are
to be directed against that place, but We
want 10 prevent total rOut of the towns
east of the mountains. We are aware
that there are not resident votes enough
this side of the mountains Ia outnumber
the votes of the west: but there are few
fair-minded men who recognize the fitness
of placing the capitol somewh here near the
center of the state; and we believe the
longer it is delayed the more apparent the
outrage of placing il permanently 50 near
the west end OF the state becomes. We
can be counted in the fight until theques-
iion Is settled by the sovereign will of the
people. We want fair deal.
