There is a great diversity of opinion
as to the best methods OF outdoor cult
walton for vlolets, T. d. Hailed SAYS
in the Garden and Forest:
"My experience has shown that violets
luxuriate in rich soil, plenty of moisture
and full exposure. Some growers take
their stock plants in winter, try roofing
the runners, which is a good plan when
there is danger of disease, but generally
old plants are divided into two or three
crowns. Until last year l had kept all
runners clear off during summer, but
found where few had been left, when
transplanted into the Towering bed along
with the old plant, they bloomed we'll,
and will make very good plants for out
doors this season."

THE Rum POWER In CHICAGO.

The city council of Chicago took its own
measure the other day and put it on record.
An ordinance had been introduced provid-
ing that a saloon should not be opened in a
residence block without the consent OF a
majority of the property owners
Every reputable daily of the city had
strongly approved the proposed ordinance
as being every way right and reasonable.
The right of people in a residence BLOCK TO
such protection from the intrusion OF a
liquor saloon was declared to be one which
ought to be respected. When, however. 1t
came TO vote, out of sixty-eight alder
men only seventeen voted for it. That is the
moral attitude of the Chicago council. The
grog shop dominates everything. Citizens
have no rights which the rum power need
respect. Is this the kind of council that is to
rule Chicago during the Worlds Fairl Here
is tremendously ominous fact which the
Christian forces of the city will have to look
square in the face. A considerable number
of the councilmen are themselves saloon
keepers, but all OF them-the seventeen ex-
cepted-hsve snapped the ling ger in the face
of the public defiantly. That there is any
necessity that this state of things should
always continue, no one believes. The better
and decenter order OF things will come in
when good citizens show by what they
combine to do that they really are good cit

Ginnt Trees Of California.

The fame of the ''big trees" Of CALI
fornia is worldwide, but they arc not,
as many who have never visited the
Slope suppose, scattered all over the
Golden State and in plain view Of every
railroad station between Salt Lake City
and San Francisco. Neither were they
known to the first settlers who braved
the dangers of trip around the Horn,
OF the greater dangers Of an overland
journey to the new Eldorado. The first
white man who is known to have gazed
upon the sylvan monarchs was a trapper
by the name Of Down, who accidently
discovered what is now known as the
Calaveras Grove, in 1852. After the
Calaveras Grove, which is in the county
OF the same name, the only other con-
siderable growth of them are in Mariposa
County, where in an area two miles
square there are 427 of these monster
trees from 275 to $40 feet in height and
from twenty-five to forty feet in dia.
meter, and another grove known as the
Fresno Grove, which contains some 600
trees, the largest eighty. one feet in dia-
meter. Placer County, tifty miles north
of Calaveras, also has a small grove of
these giant redwoods. The largest tree
in the Calaveras Grove is about $50 feet
high and measures forty-ive feet in dia-
meter six feet above the ground. "The
Grizzly Giant" the pride OF Mariposa
County, is ninety-three feet in diameter
at the ground, aud sixty-four feet five
yards higher up. Just think of It'll A
tree that would make square block of
wood as large as the average st. Louis
building lott Their leaves are l-shaped
needles, and the cones which grow upon
them (these trees are coniferous) are as
big as two.gallon jugs, being in all
other particulars almost perfect counter
parts of the common pine cones. The
Grizzly Giant has the greatest circumfer-
ence of any tree now known to exist.
There are but two trees in the world
taller than Mariposa's 350-foot prize
taker. They are of the "blue gum"
variety, are AGO feet in height and may
be found near Quelarup on the Black
wood River in West Australia. st. Louis

BEES IN THE ATTIC.

Make small, dark, frost. proof room
about Axe feet, as may suit your convent
ence, in the upper part of the house.
Erect a scalfold inside of this room
about four feet high, aud within six
inches cf the side where you wish the
entrance, which should be about six
inches wide by one-half inch high. This
may be enlarged or contracted to suit
the season of the year. These entrances
should be on that side of the house
which is used the least, for bees some
times get too familiar. Now put the
hive on the scaffold, about six inches
from the entrance. Make little board
for them to travel out and in on. A
hive should contain about 1000 cubic
inches and have holes in the bottom. 1t
is said that bees will seldom swarm from
such place, and will winter well there,
even in as cold a climate as Wisconsin.
OF course further north the room must
be warmer. Bees will build comb under
the hive in large quantities in favorable
seasons in such room, and the owner
when he wants honey may go with a
light placed at one side, smoke the bees
and cut off what honey he wants. This
plan is not mere "castle in the air, -
but a practical one,-American Bee
Journal.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Cleanliness is the key to success in
poultry raising.
Early sown beets make good feed for
the hens and chickens.
Whole wheat aud corn mixed form the
best grain food for fowls.
Fowls to do best should have a plenti-
full supply of earth, grass and gravel.
The best plan is to feed the poultry
only so much rs can be eaten up clean.
Regularity in management Is as i'm
portaut in poultry raising as regularity
in feeding; both are necessary.
A good farm-yard fowl must have
stamina aud vigor, as it is supposed to
pick up good portion of its living.
If youleave the stable doors open these
nights be sure the granery door aud feed
boxes are safely closed and fastened.
Fowls are so provided that they can
grind any kind of food eaten. 1t is not
strictly necessary to grind their food for
them.
On the majority of farms during the
spring, at least, there is more or less milk
that can be fed to the hogs to an advan-
tage.
The farmer that cannot mako hand
some profit with poultry when he has
good stock and gives them good care is
an exception.
Sour feed is no better for pigs than for
other animals, and many diseases can be
traced to its use. Among these are black
teeth and blind staggers.
Both Yorkshire and Suffolk pigs are
white, but the Yorkshire is heavier,
stouter, and has a very short snoot. Its
hair is longer aud coarser.
It's often the case that if the hens are
we'll fed during the spring and summer
they will moult early in the season and
make good winter layers.
There is no danger of the chicks
crowding on top of each other in the
brooder if the temperature is kept even.
1t is when they get cold that they crowd.
1t is wise farmer who diversifes the
food for all his stock as much as pos.
sible. A small patch planted to carrots
will come good for the horses this
winter.
If experimenting with sugar beets, do
not try to grow large ones. The sugar
decreases as the size increases. One
pound to IL pounds each is large
enough.
Careful statistics which we have
recently examined show that the white
corns produce larger yields than the yell
low. Most farmers hold to a different
opinion.
The farm team may be left to go bare
foot. When the shoes become loose
take them off carefully, aud hang where
they may be easily gotten when needed
next fall.
1t is folly to talk about wheat pro-
ducing "chest." Like produces like,
and wheat produces wheat. Cheat or
chess comes up because you don't have
clean seed.
A bare lot, hard floor, hard ear corn
and water, are not the most profitable
pork producers at this time of the year,
especially if you have month old pigs to
work with.

A pERFECT SOD.

The meadows and pastures of this
country do not produce half what they
should. Walking over an average we'll
seeded field one finds many bare places,
or only saved from baroness by the in
evitable weeds which occupy where the
valuable grasses have failed. Part of
this failure comes from imperfect prep.
aration of the seed b5d and deficiency
of seed sown. Besides, there is not
enough variety of grass to secure the
largest crop. Two, three or four kinds
growing together will yield a greater
amount of hay and of better quality than
any one alone. We have often thought
that if farmers knew the value of thor
ough seeding they would take greater
pains to secure it. Not long ago we saw
such field kept as pasture for a herd of
Jersey cows. The land had been close
cropped in the fall, but the young green
herbage was already starting. All the
droppings from last years pasturing had
been knocked in pieces and scattered
over the sward. 1t was soft and springy,
as if one walked on velvet, and not a
bare place nor a weed was to be seen ex-
oept near the fence, where some shade
trees had led to trampling the grass roots
Immediately around them. The field had
been seeded two years after two years
cropping with potatoes well manured.
AS the COWS pastured are grain-fed be-
side, the fertility of the soil constantly
increases. After another year it is the
purpose of the owner to plow aud reseed
after growing another potato crop

Horses With Sixteen Toes.

The orohippus, the ancestor Of the
noble horse of to-day, is first known to
have existed in the eocene period of ge.
illogical epochs. Some OF the species
were as small as the common silver fox
of to-day, and all had sixteen hoofs, four
on each foot, just like the COW brutes of
the present age. After long ages had
elapsed the creature became three toed
representative of animal creation; later
on he had single split hoof, or eight
toes altogether. The perfected equine
of the present may be said to walk on
its middle toe nail, the twelve others
which his ancestor, the orohippus,
had having been ''evoluted" out of ex-
istence.-St. Louis Republic.

GROWING SORGHUM.

It is important to plant sorghum caue
under as favorable conditions as possible.
1t makes a slow growth as best at first,
and when planted with the soil wet,
cold and ill prepared the seed is slow to
germinate, while the plants make a very
unsatisfactory growth. In nearly all
cases it will pay to wait until the soil
is reasonably dry and warmed up before
planting the seed, aud then if the seed
is of good quality aud the soil is in
a good tilth quicker and better ger.
mination will be secured.
1t pays to harrow OF work the soil well
before planting. When the plants first
come up they are small aud tender, and

Properties Of the Teak.

The teak, which has passed into pro.
verb as the best material for shipbuild-
ing, is superior to all other woods, from
the fact that it contains an essential oil
which prevents spikes aud nails driven
into it from rusting. This property is
not possessed by any other wood in the
world, and furnishes an explanation of
the fact that ships built of teak are prac-
tically indestructlble. Some have been

USE or A PICKET ROPE.

The safest way to picket a horse is to
use a broad leather strap around the fore
leg, below the knee, and have the rope
fastened to the strap. The horse will
rarely ever get fouled in the rope, and
If he does he soon frees himself without
harm. The picket is a short, stout stake
driven in the ground, and the rope is
fastened to it at the ground. Once a
horse is used to picketing there is not the
slightest danger, and very little anyway
