The other day when Noah Mcknight
was at Hamilton he was shown wagon
wheel which was found buried high up
on the mountain side and covered with
two feet of earth. From appearances 1T
had been there sixty years. The tire
was wide, the spokes were rotted OFF at
the point of intersection with the fell
loes. The hub and felloes were tolera-
bly, we'll preserved. The root of tree
as large as a mans body had grown
through and broken out three spokes.
There was no mark in the dense forest
indicating that a wagon road had ever
existed in that neighborhood. In ac-
counting for how this wheel could ever
have gotten there, an Indian tradition
recites that a Government party took
it's wagon to pieces and packed them on
the backs of mules, that one mule bear
ing this wheel on its back was precipi-
tated from the mountain side and killed
by the fall, leaving the wheel to be
covered by the earth as the surface OF
the mountain became invaded.-Wash-
ington Farmer.

Picking and Packing Fruits.

President c. S. Faurot, in a recent ad-
dress before the Colorado Horticultural
Society, dwelt considerably on the sub
feet of picking and packing fruits for
the market He said that he had heard
great deal of complaint from farmers
growing apples for the market, that
they found it difficult to sell their
fruits. 'In my Judgment" said he,
''the trouble lies largely with the
farmer himself. He does not take
pains in gathering or picking fruit.
The grower should first know what con-
stitutes a frst-class apple. 1t should
not be over-ripe or undeveloped as those
often are that grow in the center of
the tree. In gathering them great care
should be taken that they be not
bruised; the fruit should be gathered
one by one and laid in a basket or sack
suspended from the shoulders and the
apples should be sorted as soon as
picked. A uniform-sized box should be
used in shipping and sacks should never
be used, for If you do you should never
expect to get a RTst-class price"

The aphis can be kept down by
fumigation, or the application of
sulpho-tobacco soap, and the red spider
can be con trolled or routed, especially
in the greenhouse, where water can be
used in any desired quantity, by the
persistent use of it all over the plants,

neither of these applications l have
used fir-tree oil with good success, says
writer in the American Agriculturist,
but it is somewhat expensive, and often
difficult to obtain. Having used kero-
sene emulsion in the garden where it
proved valuable as an inSecticide, it
occurred to me that if it was useful
there it might also be in the green
house. 1t was applied to oleanders, ivies,
lemons, and other plants infested with
scale, and to hoyas and other plants on
which the mealy-bug had taken up its
habitation, and with most satisfactory
results. Itrid the plants of the insects
fought against and did not injure them
in the least l have since applied it
to tender plants like the begonia, and,
if care is taken, it never Injuries them,
but, if more kerosene is used, some
damage will result to delicate foliage.
The formula used is: Slightly sour

emulsion will mix with little stirring,
and can be syringed over the plants.
