Splendid Work Of the Sew York News
papers Every Week.
OLIVE HARPER



NEW YORK, Feb. 2z-The output OF
the metropolitan press On Sunday is
one Of the modern marvels Of literary
and mechanical industry. Twenty years
ago an eight or twelve page paper was
looked upon as q remarkable stroke Of
enterprise; now the publishers do not
think they are abreast Of the times un-
less they give you az least a half pound Of
reading matter. embracing from twenty
four to forty-eight pages. Still greater
is the wonder that the managing editors
so succeed in diyersifying the matter
which they send out to the public that
one feels dissatisfied with a single journal
and equally unhappy at his inability to
swallow the entire mass of interesting
literature at one gulp. Thus every paper
has an individuality Of its own, a physi-
ogomy, so to speak. as distinct as that in
persons. It's pictures, themes, range Of
thought, method OF treatment and gem
eral style all vary from those presented
by the other papers, yet all are attrac-
tive 10 an extraordinary degree.
Take The Herald, Sun, World. Times,
Press, Star and Tribune, to say nothing

Planting an Orchard.

Although not claiming to be an ex-
perienced orchardist, l have observed,
says q writer in Popular Gardening,
some things that I think would be Of
value to me If should plant an orchard.
In the first place, should put the trees
into plowed ground. should keep the
ground plowed several years, till the
trees came into bearing, cropping it all
the while lightly, but putting in each
year more plant nourishment than
take out, thus laying in reserve fund
for the support Of the trees in years to
come. Then would lay it down to grass,
but keep the grass from growing for sew
eral feet around each tree by mulching
quite heavily each year after haying,
with leaf mold, compost, etc. In the
meantime I would keep the ground we'll
up with liberal top dressings Thus
managed lido not see the necessity Of
plowing much II any in the orchard,
after it has come to maturity, and it is
certainly not convenient to do so among
low trees such as believe in, and thus
managed, we shall find that no crop
comes easier into our hands than the
apple crop. An orchard where both the
land and the trees give good showing,
even though the apples bring but one
dollar per barrel pays per cent on the
capital invested that any merchant
would be proud Of in his business. What
way is there to earn dollar any quicker
or easier in horticulture than to pick q
barrel of apples from low tree?

Electric Lirht REFLECTOR.

A very valuable reflector for the light
of the incandescent lamp is now being
used. 1t consists Of a conical globe Of
fine flint glass, rounded and frosted at
the base, the upper sides being of clear
glass, covered by hand with FURNISHED
silver in such way that it will never
tarnish or oxidize, The convex base is
of frosted glass, which so breaks up the
rays that, although the mass of light
proceeding from it is considerably more
than twice as powerful and bright as
that coming from the light ordinarily,
it is not only less dazzling, but it is alb
solutely soft and pleasant to tho eyes.
It is stated that by hanging the reflector
over ofic,, desks, and using eight or tom
candle.po wer lamps, tar superior light
is obtained than by using sixteen
candle-power lamp with ordinary A.
tings. Chicago Inter ocean.

France and Germany on Opposite Sides of
the Table.
An amusing story reaches us from
Metz of an adventure which has Just be-
fallen q French family living in the
neighborhood of the frontier. These
people have some relatives residing in
German-Lorraine who invited them to
luncheon a day or two ago. Noon was
tho hour fixed, but the hosts, after wait
ing for some time in vain, betook them
selves to the frontier to meet their
French kinsfolk. They found the family
in carriage on the French side OF tho
boundary line trying to persuade the
guard to let them pass, but as they had
come unprovided with passports, the
official barred the way obstinately. The
French people whose appetites had been
sharpened by long drive, were in no
humor to return home with their hun
ger unappeased, SO they suggested to
their German relatives that they should
hurry back and fetch the viands which
they had provided for them. Their
perplexed hosts eagerly caught at the
idea, and soon reappeared with goodly
stock of dishes and bottles, the contents
of which they proceeded to discuss in
company. The French sat down on their
side of the boundary and the Germans
on theirs, and mirth and jolity crowned
the alfresco repast. Meanwhile, the
official, completely checkmated, fitted
aboutin any thing but an enviable frame
of mind. He could not appeal to any Law
or regulation to put stop to this out
door meal, and as the French and Ger.
mans were each ''chez eux," he had nc
alternative but to put the best face on
the matter and to keep a sharp lookout
in the hope of catching somebody trip.

With linseed in 1855 found that II
cost three fourths Of cent per quart
more to produce milk with Nnseed than
with gluten. SO far as the richness Of
the milk is concerned 1t depends upon
the COW first, and the balancing of the
ration second. It is the whole ration,
hay, ensilage, grain. ETC., that de-
termines whether the food is we'll
adapted to the production Of milk. and
the substitution Of one grain for another
will have very little effect ordinarily on
the quality. A ration must have .
proper ration between its albuminoids
and non-albuminoids. Cottonseed,
gluten and linseed are closely alike in
their characteristics in this respect. All
have large per cent. of albuminoids
and are admirably adapted to supplying
just what our common folders like hay
straw, corn fodder and ensilage are de.
fcient in.
There is widespread belief that the
richness of milk may be varied with
about the same ease that the quantity
can be, but this is an error, provided
well-proportioned food is given. From
a ration of clover hay and corn meal a
ration may be made up that is we'll
balanced for the production Of milk,
but ensllage and corn meal are not
capable of giving the right ratio. How
ever, ensilage and cottonseed or gluten
or linseed can be made to be identical
with that Of the clover and corn meal,
so far as actual nutritive matter is con-
cerned, and one will produce just as
rich milk as the other. Or one-half
clover hay and one-half oat straw may

seed for part of the corn meal, ratio

made from this combination.
