HORTICULTURAL NOTES.:

The following horticultural items are
taken from the columns of the Practical
Farmer:
PRESERVED peaches will not be un-
known this winter, poor as the crop Is in
these parts. The Californians have had
full crop and thousands of bushels
have been used in their canning fac
tories.
The sweet alyssum is favorite flow
er for windows. Seeds sown now give
nice plants for winter. A few pots
sown at intervals are better objects
than old plants, which present weedy
appearance after Towering for several
weeks.
THE sweet clematis, fammula, as it
is properly called, flowers profuseIy in
the latter part of July. Trained up any
kind of trellis work it is lovely sigh t
when in full flower. The sprays of
white blossoms are we'll set off by small
green leaves.
Box edging is usually planted in the
spring, but whore it is convenient to do
it early in the fall it is just as we'll
done then, as it makes fresh roots be-
to be thrown out Of the ground by the
freezing and thawing it is sure to get.
The now common hydrangea panticu-
lata, which is so much admired as o
shrub when in bloom in August, on &C.
count of its immense panicles of white
flowers, forms pretty and singular OBJ
ject when trained as standard. that
is, grown as little tree. on a single
stem.
FoR spring use spinach should be
sown in September or October, and the
plants be covered with some light litter
on the approach of winter, uncovering
with the return Of warm weather in
spring. 1t is useless to attempt its
growth on poor ground. Wherever suo-
culent foliage is required In ayegetable.
az is the case with this, there can hard
ly be too much manure

Hero, Too, Is nm Important Matter for
Your Consideration.
All natural water courses run
through the lowest land; and yet 1t Is
| often true that the banks Of streams
| are higher than much of the land ly-
ing at little distance from them. In
the case Of large rivers care Is taken to
keep the stream from overfiowing the
banks, but we know of small creeks
running through valuable land where
short-sighted farmers, instead Of trying
to keep the water in tho stream, direct
it to their neighbours land. We do not
think their intention is to injure their
neighbors. They verify think they are
drying their own land. And, in special
instances, such is the case. We know
two large farmers, A and b. Tho farms

creek; but the creek runs for quite a
distance through AS farm, and in fact
through three or four other farms be.

has constructed sewer from his house
to BIS ditch, and turns all his sewage
into 1t. A claims that the land falls as
| 1T recedes from the creek, and that he
has right to let the water run where
| 1t will. "But not into ditch dug for
my own use," says A. And he filled up
portion of his ditch and constructed
| another one on higher land into which
he turns AS sewage, and uses it to
irrigate his meadow.
| Is it fact then. that natural creek
| does not run through the lowest land?
Certainly not;. the trouble in the case
alluded to is simply that the creek is
fall of impediments. 1t is very crooked,
and there are numerous logs, roots and
branches in the stream, and for quite
distance on AS farm the creek in sum-
mer is almost damned up with water
cress. This is the reason why the creek
looks higher than the land few rods
back. The water in the creek is damned
up and wherever 1t has chance IL over
flows its banks, and several farmers on
this same creek are unwise enough to
cut bitches to carry the water from the
creek on to their neighbors' land. The
presen. year four or five Industrious
small farmers who raise garden crops on
mucky land had all their crops de-
stroyed by water which a neighbor
above them had diverted from the
creek. This is not only illegal, but it is
foolish. The only remedy is to clean out
the creek by removing the logs and other
impediments, and cutting off the sharp
angles with little judicious digging,
TO deepen and widen the creek whore it
is specially needed. The water, if con-
fined to the creek, will. during the
floods of spring, do much toward clean
ing and deepening the creek. AS it is
now, comparatively little water runs
through the creek. The water has been
diverted from the creek, and floods many
acres of good land, and converts it into
an unhealthy and profitless swamp

Diffcrent Methods OF Following the In
Junction "Love Ono Another"
Do men ever fall in love with each otherl
Women do. Not long ago young woman
In New Jersey was married to youthful
laborer on her fathers farm. Sometime
afterward IL was discovered that the hus.
band was female; the young wife refused,
however, though earnestly entreated by her
friends, to give up her chosen consort. The
strangcst part of the discovery was the fact
that the bride knew her husband was a
woman before sho was led to the altar.
If men do not exhibit this strange infatu-
alton for one Of their own sex, they at least
oftentimes give evidence of the fact that
they love one another. There are many in
stances on record where one man has given
his life for another. There are many more
instances where men have given life to
another.
1t is proud possession--th the knowledge
that one has saved precious human life.

through stiffening bar so that all
thus connected may support each other;
that is, each one will then have the
strength of the five held by the bar.
Iron points at the lower ends will pre-
vent the ladder from slipping, and the
point at the upper, thrust in among the
branches, or into fork, will retain its
place. The same form may be used in
making ladder short or tall-only
eight or ten feet, or else fifteen or
twenty.
Another modification is repr esented by
Fig. 8, whore wooden hook is placed
at the upper end, which may be hooked
on limb, and will thus be firmly held,
and requiring less breadth at the bot
tom for bracing. The hook is made of
wood, broad and padded to prevent
bruising, and is secured to the ladder
with screw w-bolts. Having but little
slant the holes may be bored before
the pole is separated.

As entered the room Chew was roclin-

courtesy, might be called divan, but
which was merely rough board plat
form covered with mating. Chew was
religiously putting smoke from COM
plex affair, which he said was water
pipe, and which needed refilling with
every second puff.
Beside Chew was his opium layout.
He was a very polite Celestial, and

clined, with thanks, whereupon he cool
ly prepared the stuff and smoked several
pipefuls himself. He explained that
opium was only dangerous to those who
had the "habit." He had, he said, been
smoking opium for the past twenty-five
years, but had never acquired the
'"habit" of an opium smoker.
Chow then invited me to go to lunch
with him, which invitation l gladly ac-
septed. We were soon seated before a
low table in long room that appeared
to be restaurant. This restaurant,
located in ono of the side streets, is,
learned, the swell restaurant of China

We were next regaled with "chop

used the regulation chop sticks, which
he handled with great deftness. OF
course l tried these, too, but beyond de-
positilga a mess of stuff in my lap did not
make "howling success" of it.
Bird's-nest soup was the next delicacy
tried. This is nectar to an oriental.
1t was about as much like tapioca soup
as any thing one could imagine. Beyond
the fact, however, that, as Chew in
formed me, it is sure cure for lung
troubles, couldn't see much in it to
fancy. 1t was altogether, though, a
novel meal and Chew most obliging
