PLANTING AN ORCHARD.

In planting an orchard for profit the
varieties should not be many. 1t will
commonly be found that the profit is
mainly derived from one or two thor
oughly trustworthy kinds best adapted
to the soil and climate, and whose we'll
known excellencies and bookkeeping
qualities always insure them demand.
There are few varieties, and only few,
that seem to succeed fairly well under
greatly varying conditions. In general,
however, each one of widely separated
sections seems to have its own favorite
varieties of the apple. Consequently the
orchardist who is upon the ground can
best determine the kinds he should plant,
but there arc few points that may be
considered as of general application.
High elevation or the vicinity of large
bodies of water are especially desirable
locations on account of their greater i'm.
munity from frosts. Apple trees should
not be crowded. A distance of forty
feet between the trees will seem great
when first planted, but when full grown,
in most sections, not too much. Sol
only moderately fertile is to be preferred
to rich loan, and that from which an
old orchard has just been cleared of
should be avoided. Cultivation between
the trees for few years will be beneficial
rather than hurtful, provided the original
fertility is maintained by manuring.
After an orchard begins to bear other
crop-bearing on the same ground should
cease. As between planting in the fall
or spring, either one is likely to succeed
if carefully done. In a mild climate
fall planting is thought the best. Spring
planting should be as early as the ground
will admit.-New York World.

ABOUT PRESERVES AND JE1brEs.

Says Miss Paxton in the Ladies Home
Journal: "Jellies and preserves should
be kept in dark, cool and dry closet.
If you have no dark closet, wrap news
papers about the preserve jars when they
are put away. Handle the jars carefully
when you have occasion to move them,
for it often happens that a mold forms
on the top OF the fruit, which does not
do it any harm, but rather helps to pro-
tect it, if not mixed in with it by care
less handling. When you are stinted in
closet room you can place strong sheets
of pasteboard-parts of old boxes--on
the top of one layer of tumblers of jelly
or jars of fruit, and set another row on
these. Before storing these jars In the
closet wipe them carefully with wet
cloth. Rinse this cloth frequently in
hot water. 1t is n wise plan, when put
ting up jellies, to cover each tumbler
with round piece of plain white paper,
and then tic on thin layer of Gotten
batting"

RED ASH AND WHITE ASH COAL.

Very few householders know anything
about the respective qualities of red ash
and white ash coal. In many small cities
white ash is all that can be had. Fo.
range use, however, a good red ash coal
gives out more heat and is more eco
nomical than anything else. The cook
does not like it so well if she is inclined
to be indoent, because it does not burn
up so rapidly as white ash coal, aud can.
not be started so quickly, but when it is
once started and burning its lasting pow

The Remains Of Columbus.

The remains of Columbus were taken
to San Domingo in 1886 from Seville,
Spain, and were deposited in the church

altar, in brick vault made for re-

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

Nothing is more discouraging to a
good housekeeper than to move into
house with a neglected attic, where the
debris of all the previous housekeepers

unwholesomeness drifts down through
the house from such neglected spot as
this. A good housekeeper has no such
neglected spots. s.-New York Journal.

TO KEEP A srLo FROM RorTrSa.

How to keep silo from rotting is
what the Wisconsin professors have been
studying. The best remedy seems to be
ventilation. It is well known that q
plank must be kept either constantly
soaked with water or else free from
water, 10 prevent it from rotting. 1t is
the act Of wetting and drying that does
the damage. As it is not practical to
keep the plauks of a silo always wet, the
next thing to do is to keep them dry by
ventilation, such as dead air spaces,
with slight opening for current of
air to move in.-Ampicda Ddiryman.

Alexander Vogelsang, a resident of

secret of the successful propulsion of
ships by jets Of water The real loss in all
jet propulsion has been, he says, that us
the direction of the jet has always been in
"A straight line in nm opposite direction to
the vessels way the jet cannot find Il ful
crum close to the discharge to act against
except the peripheral part of said jet. 1t
has occurred to Mr., Vogelsang to use two
or more jets, the noz2les pointing in an op
posite direction to the vessels way, and to
make these jets revolve around a common
axis in circular paths like the tips of II
screw propeller.
The object was not to allow the jet time
to give velocity to the water acted upon
and so to find solid fulcrum for the entire
area of the jet close to the discharge. The
inventor is sure that this will prove the
most economical and efficient method of
propulsion yet known. Screw steamers can
be readily altered without disturbance Of

INTERESTING CENSUS STATISTICS
"A Companion of Twenty Eight English
md Americnn Cities.

and American Cities.
WASHINGTON, Aug, 7.--Some interest
ing and significant figures concerning
the growth of municipal population have
been brought together at the census
Office for the purpose of comparison.
The twenty eight largest cities in the
United States were selected, and also the
largest twenty-eight cities in England as
shown by the census of 1901 in England
and of 1890 in the United States. The
figures show for the United States q pop
ulation of these twenty eight cities in
1890 of 9,G97 900, and in 1880 of 1904,
1886, an increase of 3,O03,3 The per
cent. of this increase was 44.S6. The
twenty cities have a total area of
SIS, 1888. 60 acres, and the population to
each acre is 1861.
The same figures for England show
for twenty eight cities population, in
1881, of 9,437, pa, and in 1891 of $780,
III, and increase of 042, 407. The per
cent. of this increase was only liz.
The twenty eight English cities cover
nm area of only 25S, $50 acres, making
the population to each acre 1862. One
would naturally expect from the far
greater population to each acre III the
English cities than i'll those in this
country, that the city containing the
greatest number Of persons to an acre
would not be in this country. Curiously
enough, however, the city containing
the greatest number of persons to an
acre in the United States is Allegheny,
Pa, where the number is 103.4I In
England, Liverpool ranks highest in
this respect, showing 09.4 persons to the
acre.
The cities showing the largest increase
sof population are in the United States,
Chicago, where the increase in the de-
,cade was 500, 6G5, and in England, Lon
don, where the increase is 305,512. The
largest increase by per cent. is shown by
Omaha, in the United States, where the
per cent. of increase is 360.23, and i'll
Great Britain, Cardiff, where the per
cent. is 55.7. The least number of per-
sons to an acre is shown in the United
States by st. Paul. where the number is
4.05 per acre, and in England by Hud-
dersfeld, where the number is 81. In
the United States none of these twenty
eight cities show an actual loss. In
England the only city showing an actual
loss in population during the decade is
Liverpool. where there was "A total loss
of 34,657, or 6.3 per cent.
