Newly Planted Trees.

Among the most serious losses to
American farmers large proportion are
entirely needless. One that especially
belongs to this category is the loss that
occurs in planting fruit and ornamental
trees. 1t is calculate that dnot one-half,
and possibly not one-third, of those sent
out reach the maturity required to render
them profitable for fruit or beautiful for
ornament. Vet, if properly handled a
tree as usually sent out from any reputable
nursery ought to be reasonably certain TO
succeed If it does not it is generally
from neglect or mismanagement the first
Summer We have recently noted newly
set trees which their owners, in an excess
of kindness, have mulched with heaps OF
stable manure foot deep, reaching the
whole distance on either side OF the hole
in which the roots were set. "A surer way
to keep any Summer rains from reaching
the roots could not be devised Such a
pile of manure would 90 far toward killing
tree of several years growth, let alone

1t is said that ii the woodwork in the
kitchen is kept constantly scrubbed with
water in which potash has been dissolved,
reaches and ants will speedily disappear.
Never omi, regular bathing, for unless
the skin is in a regular condition, the cold
will close the pores and favor congestion
or other diseases.
Combing and rubbing the scalp of the
head with the hand draws the blood up to
the surface of the head, and not only re-
lieves the pain at times, but adds new
strength to the hair
Do not let your laundress or washer

the wringer they are almost certain to be
streaked with blueing, and although after
repeated waShings these streaks will come
out, every one knows how aggravating 1t
is TO use napkins or handkerchiets that
show traces of careless washing.
In cooking tough meat or an old fowl,

Late Pruning.

Despite popular cautions against prun-
ing after buds have started into leaf, the
practice is not so bad as it is to leave
growth to be dissipated on 10 to 20 times

grape vines we are sure that late pruning
is better than no pruning at all. People
who begin to prune just before the buds
start are frightened by loss of sap. 1t

buds have burst into leaf. If too much is
cut off at this time it will sometimes cause
the blossoms to fail to set fruit, not from
any check to their growth, but by the ex-
cess of sap which comes to them from too
vigorous root growth. Some OF the most

Milk Diet.

The use of milk and eggs as a diet or
an aid in building up a patient is often a
trial to the nurse. Many patients will
take milk slightly warm, or even hot, anG
digest it readily, when cold milk causes
distress. 1t is an excellent plan to rinse
the mouth with cold, cool or hot water, as
preferred. before and after drinking milk.
The taste left in the. mouth OF many per-
sons after a drink of milk, especially a
small quantity. often causes the patient to
dislike it. The secret of success in CIV
ing milk and eggs to those who would
rather not take them is to prepare them
in different ways. For a delicate stomach
the white of an egg, well beaten, added
to hot or cold milk sweetened to taste,
will often prove tempting, when even the
sight of the yolk with milk is unpleasant
After a time little of the yolk may be
used. the white of the egg being added

Champagne glass is of a convenient size
for small quantity, and it is better to
offer person wineglassfull than a cup
or glass full when only part will be taken.

more to the patient than he can use. A

The Culture of Roses.


If you want roses, they must be in the
richest part of your rich bed. You can
not give roses too much rich feeding, and
you cannot keep them too clean, They
must be thoroughly watered, and the
plants syringed with whale-oil soap dis
solved in lukewarm water once a week at
first, and later once month if there are
no bugs. Instantly when you see single
bug-those small green parasitcs-thor-
oughly syringe with whale-oil soap. Wa
ter once a week with watering potful OF
luke-warm water in which tablespoon
full OF nitric of soda has been dissolved.
This can be bought in crude form at any
druggists at ten cents pound. This en-
riches the plant and improves the flowers.
Let no rose remain on the plant when ii
is full blown. 1t exhausts the plant very
much.

Cnground Food for Chicks.

Poultry of every kind have strong di-
gestive organs, and to keep strong they
need food not too easily digested. This
is often not thought of in feeding young
chickens. They are SO small that it doubt
less seems to many as if some soft mess
was the utmost their little gizzards could
master. But even they like hard food,
and for the few days before they are large
enough to eat whole wheat grains a feed
of cracked wheat is better than meal of
any kind. They are also benefited by
curds, which, however soft they may
seem, are hard to be digested, and give
their digestive organs just the exercise
they need,

Salt on Manure Heaps.

Salt in small amounts is one of the best
solvents. What is mainly wanted of man
ure is to get its available fertility as quick
ly as possible. Salt on the manure heap,
if not enough to pickle it, makes it rot fas-
ter. On ground scattered where manure
has been plowed under, it greatly adds to
its effectiveness, besides making soil mois'
ter in dry weather.

DANA's ABSOLUTELY CURES DISEASE

We are told that in the Cars domin-
ions $50, 900 acres are devoted to the cul-
tivaton of the sunhower, and that every
part of the plant is utilized. From the
seed an oil is pressed that is used in cook
ing, for salads and various domestic pur-
poses, as olive oil is in other countries
The oil-cake is valuable for feeding cattle,
and the dry stalks make an excellent fuel.
The seeds OF the larger varieties are used
to an enormous extent by the people,
very much as peanuts are eaten with us,
but without being roasted. Thousands
of years ago the sunhower was used on
this continent as an emblem of the sun in
religious ceremonies.

Weeds Indicating Soil.

The fact that some kinds of weeds only
grow on rich soil, and their presence in
dicatcs fertility. is well understood by far
mers. The common bull thistle cannot be
grown successfully on thin, cold soil. Pos
sibly its seed might terminate on such
land, but it could not amount to much.
Plaintain and eatnlp are weeds that
have similar preference, the latter especial
" thriving when plowed under making a
fertile spot. The common mdlluWs, grow
ing in gardens and often great nuisance
these, will not grow in fields oil only or
binary fertility On the other hand, null
lein and ragwced grow better on poor soil
than any other, probably because other
plants run them out il the land is rich.
An English story is told OF blind man
who was very wealthy and who had made
much OF his money buying and selling
land. Driving one day with his servant
to apiece that had been highly commended
he asked; Can YOU find thistle here to
hitch the horse to while walk about the
land?' "No" was the responce, y but here
is a mullen that will do as well. ''Drive on
