many others, as it heats with but little

THE ORCHARD SITE.
A Northern Slope Is Preferable to O
Southern One.

A Northern Slope Is Preferable TO O
Southern One.
For the orchard site avoid barreh hill
sides, says writer. Yes, avoid Farren
lands of all kinds. Any good coTn land
will answer. If not naturally well
drained, tile to the depth of at least four
feet. A northern slope is preferable to
southern one, the above writer says.
Plow and harrow the ground thorough
ly. Level land should, by repeated
plowings, be thrown into ridges upon
which plant the trees, two rods apart,
in the spring of the year. In digging,
trees lose a portion of their roots; this
should he balanced by judicious prun-
ing of the top. Cut away all forked and
close-growing branches leaving one up
right shoot for the leader, and cut the
ends of all branches back few inches.
Make all cuts close and smooth.
Never leave any stubs, and cut all
bruised and broken roots back to the
sound wood. Plant in holes large
enough to permit each root being
Strengthened out in natural position,
setting the tree about two inches deep
er than it formerly stood and lean
ing about fifteen degrees to the south
west. Cultivate corn among the
young trees for five or six years. Then
seed to clover, letting it remain on the
ground as a mulch; never permit a
dense grass sod to take possession of
your orchard Protect your trees
against rabbits, mice and borers by
wrapping the stems with burlap, wire
screen or something of the sort. Keep
up the fertility of the soil by an occa-
sional top dressing of well-rotted
barnyard manure. Keep your trees
free from worthless branches and dead
twigs. Prune during mild weather,
from November to March.-Western

washInr and Curling Fenthers.

To wash anil curl feathers, use warm soap
suds and rinse them in water a very little
blued, il the feathers are white; then let the
wind dry them. When the curl has come
out by washing the feather or getting it
damp, place a hot hatiron 50 that you can
hold the feather just above it while curl
ing. Take bone or silver knife and draw
the ibers of the feather between the thumb
aud dull edge of the knife, taking not more
than three fibers at time, beginning at
the point of the feather and curling one
half the other way The hot iron makes
the curl more durable.
After little practice one can make them
look as well as new feathers. When swans

made 10 look as good as new. Tack strips

The Gvpsy Nation.

There is no stranger phenomenon in his
tory than the origin, growth and migra-
tion of this wild race OF unsettled people.
Races Of people have often been broken up
and scattered over the earth by wars,
famine and other disasters, but in the
course Of time they have lost their national
identity in mingling with other people.
There are several notable exceptions to
this rule, and one Of the greatest is that of
the dispersion and wandering of the gypsy
nation. For nearly 500 years the gypsies
have spread over Europe, living a migra-
tory life, suffering persecution and death,
and through it all preserving their original
habits and national identity. 1t is believed
now that there are one million and half
in Europe, and nearly half as many more
in Canada, South America, United States
and Australia New York Epoch,

UnboIted FLOUR.

Chemists and the manufacturers of the
new processes of bolted -four are always at
war The latter are doing their best to
furnish us with fine white -four, but they
do so at the expense Of health The -four is
bolted so much that nearly all the nutritive
value is taken from it and cast away to the
swine. The gluten and starch aud all the
nutritive substance left, and that which
makes bone and tissue, is wasted in the
process. Brown bread is far superior to
the white, aud it should be given TO chill
dren, especially in their growing age. 1t
gives the needed phosphate TO the teeth
and bones, prevents dyspepsia and regu-
lates the brain and blood.
Mothers that are nursing children would
give to their young better bones, teeth,
muscle and blood il they would make it a
practice To eat only brown bread. One soon
gets to loving this article of diet better
Than the excessively white bread which

Suddenly from shallow, dry ditch,
which ran close by the spot, a tiger, which

the body Of his victim. There the animal
