Amateurs, as a rule, are not judicious
when 1t comes to watering house plants,
In point of fact this is an important
mauer--one that controls to a great ex-
tent the thrift of the plant. A good
plan with most plants is to wait until
tine soil is quite dry, and then water
sufficiently to moisten the soil down to
the very bottom Of the flowerpot. Foil
age plants ought to be often sponged or
syringed, so as to keep the leaves free
from dust. Deprived of the rain, which
would naturally cleanse them, and not
Often watered with rose pot or syrirged,
the plants kept in room are apt gradu-
ally to loose their health, even if they do
not die: The remedy for this is the reg
ular use of a small piece Of soft old
sponge with slightly warm water, and
in the case Of "blighted" plants a little
yellow soap, soft soap or insecticide.
h pecia!ly is this Necessary in the win
ter, when dust is rife, and as blight" is
then at its weakest point thorough
cleansing during the cold months will
result in freedom from it during the

The durability Of timber is not wholly
dependent upon the fibers of the wood,
but is partly owing to the quality of the
sap, which in some trees is Of highly
preservative nature; thus, the oak has
an astringent or tanning principle as
well as ferruginous quality in its
juices, and it is from combination of
these qualities that its durability in ex-
posed situations is obtained. The quail
ity of oak timber is never better than
when the tree is grown in a good loan

Apples for Market.

An Ohio pomologist employs, when
packing apples for market, a table eight
feet long with sideboards six inches
high that will hold two barrels Of ap-
Piles. He sorts the apples into at least
two grades. In remarks made before a
farmers institute he said For the first
grade set two tiers of smooth, good col
ored, medium sized apples, and fill up
the barrel with apples that will run as
good or better. Shake them well, level
off the end, press the end in SO tight that
there is no chance for an apple to move,
and after the head is nailed turn the bar
rel upside down and put your name on
1t as guarantee Of No. l apple, to be
sold for what the buyer is willing to
give"

Lawnmaking.

The first consideration in making a
lawn is that the land be naturally dry
Or made so by understanding. Then it
ought to be plowed or spaded deep, and
L poor good dressing Of well rotted
stable manure should be worked in.
The grade will depend upon the natural
character Of the surface or its relation
70 adjoining grounds, but the surface
Itself must be made smooth or without
snail and abrupt irregularities. Four
bushels Of good lawn seed constitute a
good seeding, and this should be sowed
evenly and afterward be lightly raked
o. bushed in. If the seed is put in early
Il will start in time to make fair
growth this fall and thus be ready in
spnng to thicken up early and be ready

propagatlng willows from Cuttings.

At meeting of the Minnesota State
Horticultural society a member said:
| have cut willows nearly every month
Of the year, but | prefer cutting and
planting through the month Of May. In
selecting cuttings choose clean two year
old wood or strong, well ripened one
year. Cut from eight to ten inches long,
and as near one-half inch in diameter as
economical cutting will allow. Larger
cuttings will root and do nearly as well,
but are more expensive to transport and
handle. Never cut them when frozen.
If cut in autumn or during warm days
in winter, pack in damp straw or saw
dust until wanted. These will bear
transportation long distances, even with
careless packing

pears? If not. here is Rural New York
er's opinion of it: at is as distinct in
form as it is delicious in quality. The
tree is healthy, and an early and regular
bearer The fruit is always large-often
very large, and never fails to develop its
distinctly characteristic Icing, narrow
neck. 1t grows, too, singly and not in
clusters. The flesh is always juicy, rich,
buttery, melting and perfumed. Per-
haps it is trife sweet to suit all tastes,
but its sweetness, like that Of the Seckel,
is most agreeable. 1t ripens from late
September through October. 1t does
not thrive on ounce stock, but the trees
bear so early that dwarfng is not needed
to hasten the bearing period"

Best Time for Cutting Timber.

world correspondent, who places the

A CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR,

The Eureka Sentinel learns from a
direct and reliable source that Hon.
William Woodburn is pronounced
candidate for United States Senator
to succeed the Hon. Wm. N. Stewart.
He will take the stump aud make q
canvass Of the entire State, urging his
claims TO the honor on the attention
OF the voters with vigor and diligence
from start tn finish. He is not in po-
litical accord with Senator Stewart
and other Republican leaders, and
his canvass is quite apt TO be con-
siderably spiced with personal and
political records. 1t seems to be q
determined fact that there is to be a
good deal of upheaval in Nevada this
Fall, likewise some fun. Wehave not
heard as to this point, but presume
that Mr.. Woodburn and his friends
will make dash to control the Re-
publican primaries, with view to
putting up Legislative tickets in his
interest. It may also trauspire that
the Hon. A. 9. Cleveland will prove
al important factor in the coming
battle. Since Cleveland secured the
franchise for q competing railroad
across the State there has developed
at bedrock more or less friction in
circles that had hitherto maintained
the most cordial relations. There is
distrust in various directions. A
truce may possibly he patched up for
the time being, but the indications at
this writing are that harmony is out
of the question. All that several
prominent Republican gentlemen de-
Sire is to see an opening to advance
upon the main chance. "Politics
make strange bedfellows," is an old
saying. A good many strange things
seem imminent in the approaching
election in Nevada, and with the Aus
tralian ballot no NAN can foretell
where the lightning may strike. It is
or deliberate opinion that. the seem-
ingly secure are very much insecure.
But as the slaughter ia all to be
among our Republican friends on the
front benches, Democrats can. afford
to look on with composure, conscious
of their ability to administer on the
effects should the war prove one of
determination. ..I
