FoRETHoUGHT OF GOOD SEED.

By planting poor seed farmers waste
millions of dollars each year. The season
of 1890 will be remarkable for this loss.
Wet weather hindered ripening and sue
cessful harvesting of garden seeds. Severe
cold, the earliest ever known, over a
large area of the United States, found
considerable of the corn crop in the
fields in damp condition, which doubt
less injured the germ and rendered it
worthless for planting. Potatoes, to a
great extent, were blighted, causing the
vines to decay before skin had set on the
tubers. Bad as such will be for seed,
many farmers will make a bad matter
worse by planting small potatoes that
were set but few days ere blight struck
the vines. Such seed will not produce
three-fourths as much as fully ripened
tubers.-Neao York Tribune.

SOURCES OF IMPURE AIR IN WINTER.

SOURCES OF IMPURE AiH In HlNIEh'
There are many sources of foul air in
house in winter; when natures own dis
infectants, the frost and snow, are puri-
flying the outside air. Next to the plumb
ing, which may at any time become q
source of danger to health if not continu-
ally looked after, the furnace claims es-
pecial attention. The stupidity of the
average workman who is set to cleaning
chimneys and furnaces can hardly be ex-
aggerated. In the majority of cases he
seems to regard his duties as purely per-
functory. Tapping the stovepi pc, heater
pipes and different parts of the heater
with poker will soon tell whether the
work has been done properly. The cold
air box of the heater is one of the most
fruitful sources of foul air. In many cases
the furnace is set so that the cold-air box
opens into the cellar or basement kitchen
instead of outdoors, as it should. Thus
the unwholesome warm air of the lower
part of the house, laden with the cooking
odors of the kitchen, is forced into the
upper part of the house, to be breathed
over there.
Not only should the furnace have
cold-air box opening outdoors, but there
should be no crack or opening through
which the air of the basement can become
mixed with that from outdoors. The spot
where the cold-air box opens outdoors
should be as far removed as possible from
the kitchen cesspool, or any source from
which impure air may come. 1t is doubly
necessary in winter, when the house can
not be so freely ventilated as in summer,
to look after all parts of the premises,
where debris of vegetables or refuse of
the kitchen may engender source of dis
ease. The practice of keeping the gar
bage pail in the kitchen under the sink,
as is sometimes done in careless house
holds, cannot be too severely censured.

ROOT PRUNING.

Different methods are sometimes
adopted by orchardists and others to in
duce grcater fruitfulness IN shy bearing
trees. Not infrequently trees are slow
in coming into bearing and expend their
forces in luxuriant leaf and branch
growth, rather than i'll fruit. Root
pruning acts like magic sometimes in
bringing barren trees into bearing state,
especially when unfruitfulness is brought
about by undue luxuriance. When trees
are making very strong shoots they are
found on examination to be making roots
in proportion, and so long as this goes
on fruit prospects are very much jeopar-
died. It is the small fbrous roots which
command the formation of fruit spurs,
and in some soils there is difficulty in
maintaining a fruitful condition. In
gardens where the surface is light and
open, with a clayey subsoil, there is a
tendency for the roots to go deep in
search of moisture, especially if the as
pect is at all open and windy. On such
soils mulching is of considerable value so
long as it creates and maintains moist
nre.
By depriving at tree of certain por-
ton of its roots, its too rapid growth is
checked and the young branches and
buds assume a more fruitful character.
That excessive root pruning will injure a
tree is shown by the fact that when
young tree in its early bearing season is
taken up and removed to another place
it almost invariably receives shock
from which it never fully RECEIVERS. From
this we may learn that there is natural
balance to be observed that may not be
too severely interfered with, either by
root or branch pruning.-Vick's Mag
azine.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
DOUBLE WALLS FOR BEE HIVES.

With proper protection bees will win
ter out of doors better than in the cellar.
This is given by making the walls OF
their hives double. This keeps the bees
at q nearly uniform temperature, what
ever the weather may be outside. In a
suushiny winters day the bees are not
tempted to fly, as they are when kept in
hives that have only one thickness of
wood. The old-fashioned straw hives
were not bad ones for wintering bees.
The moisture from the inside worked of
through the straw, and the bees were not
prematurely started into activity.

A LOST ADDRESS.
A Trinidad Lady Writes to San Francisco
for 1t.

Mrs. Harriet McNamara of 319 State Street,
Trinidad, Colorado, while visiting in st. Louis
last summer, did not suffer with her usual sick
headaches and indigestion. But upon her re-
turn to Trinidad her old troubles came upon
her. 1t was not the St. Louis climate that did
SO much for her sick headaches. The secret is
told in the following letter, received by Thomas
Price & Son, the well-known assayers of 524 Sac
ramento Street, San Francisco. Mrs McNamara
writes:-
"Three months since I was visiting In st.
Louis and obtained two bottles of joys Vegeta-
BILE Sarsaparilla. 1t was of great relief to me in
my headaches and indigestion. Since my re-
turn-t my home in Trinidad feel the need of
It, and as have lost the address write to you

to the proper number in San Francisco, and

THE ORPHANS FAIR.

A Strong Appeal to the Public for Its
Support.
The time has again arrived when the
public are called upon to patronize the
orphans fair, which is to be held at
the new Armory hall Opposite post
office) from October 18th to 18th, in
elusive. That this fair will be success
is an absolute necessity. Almost 35
years ago Sister Scholastica in company
with five other Sisters landed at San
Pedro and came to this city, to estab-
lish school which was formerly and
familiary known as the "Sisters school, F"
located upon the corner of Alameda and
Macy streets. Orphans of all creeds
and nationalities were there received,
supported and educated. No distinction
being made between them and the
children that were the sisters, regular
pupils.
As years passed by the number of the
orphans gradually increased until now
there are in the Sisters asylum 25O
orphans; more being denied admission
on account of the lack of proper facilities
and the already overcrowded condition
of the present asylum.
The buildings now used for the Or
phanage are in exceedingly poor con-
dition, and the safety of the inmates
imperatively demands healthier, safer
and more commodious quarters. The
Sisters realizing the necessity for
change and for the improvement of the
conditions then and even now existing,
about year ago commenced the erec-
ton of new asylum on Boyle Heights,
to cost when completed $125,0O0.
The construction has so far progressed
that the building is now being rooted.
1t was confidently expected that while
the new asylum was being built the old
place could be sold, and sufficient be
realized from it's sale as to tide the Sis
ters over any financial embarrassment.
Some time ago the old asylum property
was bonded for considerable sum, but
the sale was not consummated, and now
the Sisters are owing (besides the long
existing debt incurred in the Alameda
street asylum) new and large debt
contracted in erecting the new building
on Boyle Heights. Hence the urgent
necessity of making the coming fair
financial success.
The principal revenue derived by the
Sisters for the support OF the orphans is
such as comes to them as the result of
the yearly fairs held for the benefit of
the orphans. The coming fair is not
only expected to furnish the Sisters the
usual amount realized by other fairs,
but also ali additional sum sufficiently
large as to enable them to proceed with
the building of the orphanage on Boyle
Heights.
Hundreds, yea, thousands, in this
city, can bear witness to the good work
performed in our midst by the Sisters of
Charity And iG is to be hoped that
the public will generously respond and
make the coming fair that success that
the Sisters and the orphans under their
charge so well deserve.
