IS TAR PAPER rNLuR1ous2

Edwin Fox, Eaton County, Mich,
deshes information whether tar felt ap-
piled to the stem of apple trees, as
protection against rabbits, will prove in
furious. For many years we have used
the ordinary tarred building and roofing
paper and felt for wrapping the stems of
apple, ounce and peach trees to protect
them against the attacks of borers, but,
up to the present hour, we have never
discovered that the bark under these
wrappings was injured by the tar. We
renew these wFappings every two years,
and on removing the old ones have
always found the bark clean and
healthy. We have, however, known
healthy trees killed by applying fresh
warm coal tar direct to the stems and
bark, and probably made paper or felt,
with the tar dripping from it, might
prove injurious, but no dry paper, or one
well cured, can possibly injure your
trees, and it will prevent the rabbits
from gnawing the rk.-American

Our BIrrest Gun.

The twelve-inch breech-loading rife
which has Just been sent overland from
Washington to San Francisco, CAL, to
form a part Of the armament Of the new
armor-clad coast-defender Monterey,
represents the biggest achievement in
gunmaking yet undertaken for the United
States Navy. The new gun is so big that
it had to have a steel girder car built
especially for it. The gun weighs triae
over fifty tons, Is thirty-six feet long and
will hurl a projectile weighing $50
pounds. The ptopulsive power of this
tremendous missile is furnished by a
charge of 430 pounds of brown powder;
the velocity is 1941 feet per second and
the muzzle energy as shown by tests
made is %, AGO foot tons. Equipped
with two of these monsters and two ten
inch rifles like that OF the Miantonomoh,
the Monterey will be one of the most for
midable coast defensive battleships ever
constructed. The Bethlehem Iron Works
and Carnegie, Phipps g. Co. are working
nights shifts Of men in order to complete
her armor plates on time. 1t is cheering
to know that In two months the Pacific
coast will be protected by vessel able
to fight anything that floats. New York

MANAGEMENT oF ROADS IN WINTER.

MANAdEMENI OF HOADS IN WINTER.
The breaking of roads in deep snow
is best done by drawing a heavy roller
over the snow. This packs down the
snow and makes hard surface, on which
horses and sleds may run without sink
ing, aud the packing down in this way
avoids the inconvenience Of piling up on
each side of the road and running in a
gulley, as is done when the roads are
worked out with snow plow. The
roller should be ten feet long ard six
feet in diameter, and made in sections of
five feet, so as to be turned with ease.
The rollers are covered by frame hav-
ing a seat for the driver and assistants
and for the tools that may be needed in
any emergency, such as shovels, blankets
for the horses and for the men, if the
weather becomes very cold. At suitable
distances turnouts should be made, where
teams may pass each other, and these
should be within sight of each other, so
that meeting may not be made in a
narrow place. Where the travel is suf-
ficient to require it, double road should
be made.-New York Times.

About CabbAges.

So far as known, the original cabbage
is indigenous to the shores of several
countries in northern Europe, and it is
said to be found even at this day on the
coasts of Great Britain. Some of the
old herbalists of two centuries ago in
form us that people living near the sea-
shore preferred the wild cabbage to that
grown in gardens. 1t is supposed, and
probably it is fact, that all the many
varieties of the cultivated cabbage-cole-
worts, borecole, Scotch kale, caulihower
and broccoli--are descended from the
wild cabbage of the seashore, the change
having been wrought by cultivation dur
ing many centuries. The cauliflower
differs from the common cabbage in pro.
ducing mass of metamorphosed flowers
in place of compact head of leaves.
In the Island of Jersey there is a tall
growing variety of the wild cabbage,
with stems ten or more feet in height,
terminated by small head of compact
leaves, or, in other words, a small cab
bage. The broccoli and cauli6ower
have been in cultivation in Italy and
France during the past three centuries,
and these vegetables probably originated
in one of these countries. es.-New York

WHEN THE MILK IS FIT FOR USE.

A variety of opinions and notions are
entertained regarding the use of the milk
for culinary purposes, or for drinking
that from the newly-calved cows, says
the Indiana Farmer. No established
rule seems to be in force, and the interval
between calving aud using the milk varies
from three milkings to nine days, each
dairyman having a theory OF his own to
determine the time required before the
milk is "good." On account of these
ideas, and in the absence of positive
proof, and the knowledge of how to do
it, great deal of profitable milk is
sacrificed or thrown away under the sup
position that it is not healthy and is un-
fitted for human food. A simple way
to settle the question and dispel all
doubts is to place a small quantity of
milk in vessel upon the stove, allow it
to come to a boil, and if no appearances
of curdling is present, the milk is all
right. Heat at boiling point produces
the change that makes visible to the eye
the condition when 1t is proper to use
the milk, and in no other way-except
by the more difficult process of analysis,
or by guess--can this be ascertained. II
will be found generally, If no other con,
ditions are normal, and the milk is from
a COW in perfect health-that curdling
under the treatment described, will dis
appear after the third or fourth milking
from the tine the calf was dropped, anC
when this occurs the milk may, witt
entire confidence, be utilized in any wa.
desired. Review.

Coal ashes are good to scatter under

injuring the feet.
Unless they are provided with quarters
something better than the average, it is
a positive cruelty to pick either ducks or

EFFECTS OF FROST ON PLANTS.

Frost kills or Injuries plants in more
ways than one, writes Carol Floss. In my
observation, especially of te nder plants,
l have found that the effects Of frost
vary in proportion to their more or less
watery nature and to the condition in
regard to moisture overhead and at the
roots in which they may happen to be at
the time when they get frozen. Some
plants will bear cold to an almost in
credible extent, provided water is with.
held. On this point am sustained by 6
well-known English authority, who tells
of having seen large examples Of Agave
Americana that have stood in pots for
whole year or more without water until
their leaves became shrivelled, bear as
much frost without being affected as
would have killed them had they been
plump and full of moisture. The harder
kinds of Echeveria are IN like manner in.
different to considerable amount OF
cold when their roots and tops are quite
dry.
But this condition of dryness may
easily be pushed too far in the case of
some kinds of plants, especially such as
are grown in pots and which If the soil
has been allowed to get so dry that they
are in stagnant, feeble state, are often
killed by cold, when if the roots had
been in a more moist condition little in.
jury would have resulted. This applies
more particularly to plants of non-suc-
culent character, such as ferns and many
greenhouse species that contain a large
proportion of fibre in their branches and
stems. Shrubby Calceolarias growing in
pots, with the soil in q moderately moist
state, suffer little when caught by frost
that would have killed them had they
been in soil too dry to keep the leaves
crisp and plump. The Lemon Verbena
will bear several degrees of frost when
the soil is IN half moist state, but if
dry when frozen it rarely RECEIVERS.
Numbers of other plants might be
named that are very susceptible to injury
from frost when the soil in which their
roots are placed is too dry, thus showing
that although many plants will bear
low temperature when the soil about
their roots is quite dry, there are Others
to which the principle does not apply.

TO UTILIZE A DRY DITCH.

A very useful thing for farmer to
know is how TO utilize a dry ditch, and
in California they have an excellent way
Of doing it. After the water is turned
out in early summer, instead of allowing
the banks to become a swamp of weeds,
to his own detriment and the undoing
Of those below, the farmer plows the
banks and the bottoms of the ditch and
plants pumpkins therein. Supposing
his ditch runs, say, for three-quarters of
a mile, he raises from fifty to 100 wagon
loads Of pumpkins of the largest kind.
After they are gathered In the fall and
the vines are dry he dumps them into
ditch and sets fire to them. The result
is ditch as clean as garden-walk,
and no weed seed to be spread over
thousands Of acres as soon as the water
is turned in, to say nothing of the bal
ance to the good in large and valuable
crop at c. paratively light expense. -

AlMaYs on Time.

Washington had many admirable
traits worthy Of imitation, and one Of
them was rigid punctuality. This was
well illustrated by an incident during
his visit to Boston, Mass, one hundred
years ago. Having appointed eight o'clock
in the morning as the hour at which he
should set out for Salem, he mounted
his horse just as the Old South clock was
striking that hour. The company of
cavalry which was to escort him did not
arrive till after his departure, and did
not overtake him till he reached Charles
River Bridge.-New York Observer.

WANTED. LETTER PLowMEN.

It is hardly too much to say that good
plowing is the foundation of good farm
ing. In the good ola times, when State
and county fairs were novelties, blowing
matches were frequent and popular. We
had poorer plows, perhaps, but in many
sections, at least, we certainly had better
plowmen. Farmers sons competed at
the plowing matches, aud Scotch aud

skillful manner in which they turned

SPECIAL LEGISLATION URGED.

Professor Jolley, Director of the insanity
wards in the Charlie Hospital at Berlin, has
issued pamphlet in which he urges the alb
solute necessity of special legislation against
habitual drunkards, on the ground that the
statistics of insanity show direct ratio to
those of intemperance. In the Rhine prov
inces, the percentage of insane persons who
had lost their reason through excessive
drinking was twenty-eight, and in Berlin
and Alsace as much as thirty-three. Taking
general average for the wine and schnapps-
drinking districts, Professor Jolley reckons
that twenty-five per cent. among the in
mates of asylums have been inebriates. Dis.
cussing the section of the new bill which
enactS that habitual drunkards shall be shut
up until cured, he insists that this authority
shall be committed to medical men, and not
TO magistrates only. He says that in the
asylums for inebriates hitherto existing.
medical direction has been almost entirely
wanting. Throughout his pamphlet he
maintains the proposition that drunkenness
should not be regarded as a punishable
offence, but as an infirmity. The retreat
for inebriates should he says, be no prison,
but something between a hospital and a luna
tic asy lum. 1t should be governed by med.
cal men, and perons should only bs consigned
TO IL by doctors certificates

overfeeding is one always to be most
closely guarded against. 1t is much
better to give a little under what the

DUCHESS OF RUTLAND's WORK.

The Duchess of Rutland is one Of Eng
lands most effective workers in the cause of
temperance. Without being at all fanatical
she has been very successful in her dealing
with the question by means of village halls
and reading rooms, concerts, lectures and
singing classes, and advocates in every ham,
let "a public house without the drink, open
to ALL with no rules and regulations The
efforts made by Miss Brooks at Woodstock,
which have more than once been alluded to
in this column, receive the highest commen-
dation, and her experience as to the books
most eagerly sought for by the villagers is
interesting; lives of Wellington, Nelson and
Gordon are always in demand, and the books
about her majesty the queen and the jubilee.
To develop love OF natural history is
another matter of great Importance, in order
to develop ideas which may brighten the
round of village life and give glimpses of the
beautiful world we live in and the life be-
yond, where honesty will meet its reward.
The duchess works along the lines laid down
by the Church of England Society, which
does not demand total abstinence, but which
does all in its power to encourage it. She,
with other temperance workers. is doing
much good toward suppressing the evils OF
drunkenness and in bettering the moral and
physical condition of the victims of the
drink habit.-Chicago Post.
