NUTS.

The only reason why many persons
fail to make such nuts as pecans, hick-
ory. English walnuts aud chestnuts germi-
nate when planted is that they allow
them to get thoroughly dried before
they are placed in the ground. For Pc
cans, shellbark-hickory nuts, filberts
and other hard-shell kinds there is no
better place to store them during winter
than in heaps of sand piled up on some
shady spot in the open ground. First
place d layer Of the nuts, then a layer of
sand, then a layer of nuts, and proceed
in this way until your stock of nuts is
exhausted, and cover the heap with six
inches of good soil or sods, and leave all
undisturbed until spring. then take out
the nuts and plant in drills. If there is
danger OF mice aud squirrels carrying
AVA the nuts, place them in well-drained
boxes, covering with wire netting.
Chestnuts may be stored in the same
way, but the sand should be elem aud
the boxes set where the water from melt
ing SHOWS will quickly drain OF. Fresh
imported English walnuts buried in the
fall or any time III the early winter will
usually germinate quite freely. Imported
flberts are sometimes gathered before
quite mature, aud for this reason fail to
grow, but if the kernels are plump wnen
obtained there is no danger Of failure if
kept cool and moist during the winter.

PEACHES.

There are two varieties of the peach
chat bear good and more uniform crops
tban nearly any Others, even in seasons
when there is generally a scant product.
These are the. Early Rivers among the
early varieties, aud the Smock among
tbe late ones. The Early Rivers has
horne with US every year when there was
any peach crop at all, while its excellent
favor aud quality add to its value. 1t
linens about two weeks after the Amsden
and Waterloo and others of the early
group in the first of August, and imme-
diately precedes the Hale. After the
thronr of fine varieties has passed dur
mo tie middle season, and the ripening
Of late ones is approaching an end, We
are sure to have a good supply of the
Smock if there are any peaches at all. A
fruit Of moderate quality, it is much i'm
proved il properly thinued on the
branches and with good cultivation.
The Rivers originated in. England, but
succeeds we'll with our soil and climate

FEED n BREED.

There is no disputing the fact that
everything is in the feed. The best lay
ers in the country are utterly worthless
if not properly fe1. No one would ex-
pect the Brahfna fowl to be classed
among the heavy layers, yet we know of
a contest IN which a flock of these big
bodied birds beat the record of a flock of
fer them to do so, but as an experiment
they were feed for that purpose and
won. If we feed fat producing food to
our layers can we reasonably expect them
to lay many eggs2 Would not common
sense teach lis that such q thing would be
next to impossible? Likewise, how a
We fatten fowls for market with food

We feed broilers for quick growth; VS.
feed hens for eggs; we feed fowls for
the table. Our birds become just what
we make them. As AT experiment, We
penned twelve hens and a cockerel in a
yard aud fed them on oats, bran, and
cornmeal. They were regularly supplied
with green food and grit. From that
yard we are getting an average OF five
and six eggs a days. In another yard an
equal amount OF hens are receiving corn
cornmeal, and boiled potatoes, and the
eggs are few and far between. Again,

The Longest River Tunnel.

The st. Clair tunnel is the longest river
tunnel in the world. 1t is $3.50 feet
long. From the American cutting to the
river edge is 1900 feet, and from the
Canadian cutting to the river edge is
1850 feet, and the distance across the
river is 23O0 feet. The tunnel walls are
OF cast-iron segments, thirteen of which
and a key form a circle. The segment
dimensions are: Length, four feet ten
inches; width, eighteen inches; thick
ness, two inches, with fanges inside six
inches deep and Ii inches in thickness.
Their total weight is %, 000 tens. The
segments are bored and secured in place
with bolts seven-eightfs Of an inch in
diameter and weighing in all 1900, 900
pounds. The outside diameter Of the
tunnel is tWenty-one feet andtwenty feet
inside. The soil cxcayated amounts to
2 ,196, 400 cubic feet. Employment has
been steadily furnished to 700 men since
first the work Of construction began and
costs complete about So, 000, 900. It is
q year ago since the engineers, who had
been working toward each other from
opposite sides of the river fitted their hy-
draulic shields together and shook hands
| fathoms below the surface. The ap.
breaches and railway tracks have been
| completed since that day. The Grand
Trunk people believe that when the tun-
mel il iii actual use it will offer facilities
for through communication between
Chicago and all points east which Wiltbe
greatly appreciated By passengers and by
freight shippers. It shortens the dis

An ANIMAL Presentation Of Fruit.

The presentation Of fruit TO the Lord
Meyor of London by the Fruiterers' Com
nanv in olden times simply took the
form of twelve baskets OF apples. The
fruit was carried TO the Mansion House

headed by the company's beadle with
his gown and staff. The Lady Mayoress
used to place a bottle OF wine iu eacI OF

A heavy crop Of clover seed can be cut
with an ordinary moving machine and
raked up with a steel rake. The wind
rows will need to be repeatedly turned
and sometimes, if the crop is green,
shaken out. Whep dry run the steel
rake along the wiSdrows and put the
clover into carefullY-made, good-sized
cocks that willshed rain. Let the clover
sweat in the cocks, if it will, and when
dry draw into the barn. Before we had
such good threshing machines and clover
hullers it was deemed desirable to ex-
pose the crop as much as possible to the
weather, letting 1t get wet and dry sew
eral times until it was nearly h%alf-rotted.
After such exposure, when dry and kept
until cold weather, it threshed easier.
This is not now necessary.
A light crop of clover seed, one that is
short ana thin on the ground, must be
cut with a platform reaper. If cut with
a moving machine the steel rake will
leave much of it on the ground, and it
will hardly pay to rake it up with wooden
hand -rakes. There are several reapIng
machines that do the work to perfection.
A movable cutter bar can be set SO that
the knives will shave the ground. The
clover falls on the platform and can be
carried, If the crop is light. quite a long
distance and then discharged into a fair
sized cock. II the clover is dead-ripe
then cocks or bundles may not need
turning, but can be pitched on the
wagon with a barley fork and moved
away in the barn, or threshed at once
If it is difficult to get the crop dry put il
on a scaffold, where it will dry out be-
fore it is necessary to thresh it.
In regard to threshing and cleaning
clover seed, if one has had no experience,
probably a good plan to get the desired
information will be to write to the man.
