Potash salts for Fruit Trees.

Almost all frnit-bearing trees need
more available potash. Even if analysis
shows this mineral in the soil. its needs
an additional supply in soluble form. If
wood ashes can be got they are the best,
as they supply more mineral elements
needed by the tree as we'll as potash. But
potash salts are much better than moth
ing, and every tree that shows signs of
poisoning should have an especially
liberal supply. The earlier they are ap-
piled the better, for the spring rains and

and carry it Gown to the roots.

0rApoS In NOrCn0fn L8ttGud66, -
The in this continent are
much warmer than they are in England
or any of the British Isles. 1t is the
heat of summer rather than a continued
mildness through the year that is essen
tial to successful grape growing. In the
growing season, between April and o.
tober, the higher the latitude the longer
the sun shines each day. Thus the grape
becomes possible even In Minnesota and
Dakota, provided the vines are protected
during winter. Summer in these regions
is usually dry and very hot, but a we'll
rooted grape vine is not easily injured
either by heat or drought.
Deep Tr~ansplanting.
There are several reasons why in set
ting out young fruit trees they should
not be set deep In the soil. l. A deep
hole is liable to become partly filled with
water, to the detriment of growth, and
causing it to become baked in summer
drought. 2. The soil is more likely to be
thrown in with the spade in large Jumps
and masses. Deep planting is often
adopted as o remedy for short roots
which have been cut in digging, instead
Of long horizontal roots which will hold
and brace the trees. A stratum of finely
pulveriZed soil six inches thick, is better
than a foot of hard Jumps as. large as
bricks. Depth in planting is frequently
supposed to obviate stalking trees, to hold
them stiff in their position, while plenty
of long horizontal roots is better than
either or both. AS ome planter has re-
marked, if the roots are set neal the sur
face, the small fibers can strike down
ward if there is q good bed of soil be-
meath, but little benefit is derived by
their striking upwards to the surface. A
mellow surface soil is important, serving
as a mulch and maintaining moisture for
the roots. A hard or baked crust,
especially if allowed to become infested
with grass and weeds, is often fatal to
success or growth.-OhtO Former.

There arc only four eggs Of the
great aux now in this country, says
an oologist, 'and they are valued at
$500 each. It seems odd to think of Q
bird becoming extinct but no one has
seen Labrador duck, either, since
1855. There are but Eve mounted
specimens in existence. and none Of
the eggs are in existence. Kirtland's
warbler is another bird that is rare.
Until recently but seven had ever been
captured, and these all we're found in
a region near Cleveland. Ohio. less
than a mile square. Specimens were
worth 800 apiece. But little while
ago a naturalist who CHANGED to visit
the Bahama Islands came upon q
colony of the birds and knowing what
a mine he had struck. shot about
twenty and took them to this country.
When he began to- unload. the story
came out and the market sagged. so
that now you can get a Kirkland for S

'The Connecticut warbler is another
bird Of interest to oologists. because
no one has yet seen its eggs. It passes
up the Mississippi river in the early
