Piling stones Around Trees.

1t seems sometimes convenient place
to put stones out of the way, to pile
them around tree where the pillow can
not come. but there is no surer way to
destroy the tree. The reason seems to
be that the stones act as mulch. keep
ing the soil moist to the very surface.
This encourages the root to grow up

the stone mulch does not prevent frost.
the roots are frozen in and cannot fur

be avoided around apple and other fruit
trees, as they harhor mice. which eat the
bark thus g;rdling and killing the tree.

Phosphate for Poultry.

The advice to give bones to hens to
make them lay mas been improved by
farmer who accidentally learned that
commercial phosphate answers the same
purpose. He spilled some with seed
wheat last September. and gathering Ii
up mixed with soil gave this to his hens.
Rather to his surprise the pieces of
phosphate were eaten as readily as the
grain, and about the same time his hens
began laying as they had not done be-
fore. Not all of the commercial phos-
phate sold now is made from bones.
This incident, which TiibuRe cores
pendent furnishes, indicates that the
rock phosphate may serve good pur
pose for hen feed, as We know it does
for crop food

Warming W.. Cooking Food.

Not nearly SO much is said as formerly
about the necessity of cooking food for
stock. 1t is undoubtedly the fact that
warming food to near the animal heat
is IA good thing in cold weather, and in
most cases the cooked food is fed while
warm, which may account for its sup
posed advantages. There is certainly
harm III giving wet food at tempera-
ture near the freezing point in winter.
as it is apt to be. even in moderate
weather. The constant evaporation
from the surface rapidly cools anything
that Is wet, and the introduction of food
with a temperature of ~ degrees into a
stomach where the natural warmth is 9S
degrees. produces chill that requires a
good deal of the food consumed to over
come. The cooked food that has become
entirely cold is no better than that not
cooked for most kinds of stock.

Of your birth, the census will insist upon
knowing from what race you are sprung,

degree of cold may he from which you suf
fer in the winter, how hot YOU may find it

Chief Engineer Menocal is now ia New

they both intend to proceed to Nicaragua
to examine the work personally at an early
date. Greytown Harbor, the eastern ter

and on shore the engineering parties are

The New Navy Gum.

The guns for the new navy are formid
able affairs in more senses than one. They
are of steel built up by shrinking successive
jackets upon the inner tube They are all
breech leaders, aud notwithstanding the
heavy charges and great amount Of pow
der gas developed by the explosion, the
breech mechanism works perfectly. In the
old smooth bore cannon projectile veloc
ity at the muzzle Of 800 feet was consid-
cred excellent The new guns give 2OOO
feet The old six inch, for example, had a
shell Of 30 pounds weight that Of the new
one weighs 100 pounds The charge ia the
old gun was six pounds, in the new one it
is D. The weight Of the old gun was less
than a ton and ahalf; that Of the new is
five tons The comparison will give some
idea Of what has been gained in gun power
within the last few years, especially when
we learn that the modern gun has a range
Of nearly six miles, and will penetrate II
inches Of iron at 100 yards, while the old
one had a range Of less than mile and was
as spowerless against iron as a boy s pea shoot.
