Fertilizers Tor Orchards.

A bulletin Issued by the Agricul-
tural College of Michigan treats the
subject of fertilizers for orchards as
follows: "As a fertilizer we have
made use OF unleached wood ashes.
On most soils no other fertilizer need
be used for a number of years, but
on light or exhausted soils the APP
plication Of perhaps twenty loads Of
decomposed stable manure, or, H'this
cannot be obtained, Of fifty pounds
nitrate of soda and 200 pounds OF
tine ground bone per acre which, with
100 bushels OF ashes, will make a
complete fertilizer. In case the fresh
ashes cannot be obtained, two or three
times the quantity mentioned OF
leachcd ashes would lave a marked
effect. Wood ashes would have p
tendency to solidify and compact the
soil, hence they are excellent on light
land, but care should be taken not to
use them to excess on heavy soils.

MRS NEwCOMh menu. lHC -
had an innate love for horses. She
drew pictures of horses on the black
boards In. school, and on her slate In
place where the sums ought to be a
horses head was most apt TO be
found. When she was but IL years
old she painted group of disabled
horses. The picture showed original
talent and promise OF future good
work.
Mrs. Newcomb lives In New York,
and the World OF that city tells the
story of her life. She was born in
Newark, N. j., in 1866, and is OF
French descent. She lived there UNI
til 1873, when she went with her
father and mother TO New York.
According to her own wish Miss
Guise never took, a recourse of instruc-
tion in drawing or painting at any of
the famous art schools. She painted
from life. Almost every morning
she went to some stable, and in this
way many portraits of weli-known
horses were painted. But the work
ing horses were the ones she sbest
liked to put upon her canvas. She
also went in for dissection and made
thorough study OF the horses an
atomy. l9n
In 1886 Miss Guise went to Eu-
rope For three years she lived like
an artist IN happiness at Ecouen, a
suburb Of Paris, studying under the
animal painter Schenck. After leav'
ing Ecouen,she spent some time In
Algeria. From there she went to the
oasislof Biskra in order to study the
Arabian horses. In 1887 one OF hel
paintings work Horses" was ac
cepted atahe Paris salon.

How Glover Dries SOIL

Any one who has broken up clover
ley for summer fallow in early June
knows that on hard or stony soil the
land quickly becomes unplowable ex-
cept by putting a new point on the
pillow every dav, and often every half
day. The great amount of moisture
which exhales from an acre OF grow
ing clover is the reason for this. Cut
the clover, and at least a ton of water
would exhale from it in twenty-four
hours But the willing which fol-
lows cutting Is really a preventive OF
evaporation, as it closes the pores
through which moisture escapes from
the living plant. :,

. 1t Is well to contrast the present
status OF our sheep industry with
what IL was few years ago. and then
to consider the causes that led TO the
changes which have so readily and
timely given a relief to the depressed
situation. IL the, signs of, the times
are properly read, the naxt few years
will witness the most dimportaHt
changes in the financial and social
side of the agricultural question In
this country. II the small farmers
with few sheep can obtain salts
factory results, as they do now, IN
competition with the large farmers
they will hold on to their land, II
perhaps few acres and stop the
absorption of small holdings Dy the
larger landowners This competing
of small farms of the East with the
virgin soils of the West in general
farming, in the production OF corn
and wheat, is impossible. sThis un-
equal contest has resulted disas-
trously, but with the central, con-
trolling markets at the very door of
the Eastern farmer he can compete
in special products like 1nstton.

Entrapped

A correspondent sends to the Youths
Companion an account OF a recent oc-
currence that carries with it its own
lesson. A young man in small town
became member of an endowment"
society-one of the mushroom "frater-
nal orders" OF which there have been so
many during the past few years.
"Ye'll never see yer money again.
said some OF his friends, who thought
he was fool to believe the promises held
out.
"Oh, yes. 1 shall. You see.
Sure enough, he did see it again.
After paying out about $40 altogether,
for admission and assessments, his
certificate matured and he received 500.
Then those who had sneered at him
and predicted that he would lose all
FASTENED to join so prospectus an or
der. They paid the first fee and one or
two assessments, and then a court or
dered the affairs OF the concern to be
wound up.
There was not on hand half as much
money as would be needed TO pay back
TO the members what they had invest
ed, to say nothing OF interest or profits.
A part had gone to redeem few certl-
ficates-just enough TO lure in new
members; another large part III com
Portable salaries TO the officers.
Some OF the endowment societies
have not yet become bankrupt. But
they are all founded on false prin-
ciple, and are sure to come to grief in
the end. For they could keep their
promises only in case a large proper
ton of their members became dis
couraged and dropped out.
Then; of course, the more promises
1t keeps the fewer will be the people to
be discouraged, and thus the more GER
tain will be its failure TO pay back al
its members.
Beware of the man who promises you
something for nothing.
