1t is predicted that in few years
bees will be kept by fruit growers for
tho purpose of carrying pollen from
one blossom to another of the small
fruits as we'll as for the large ones.
Land that is not drained does not
have time to dry sufficiently between
rains to permit working the crops. In
an extremely wet season, and in an ex-
tremely dry one, the cost of draining
is sometimes repaid by single crop.
Water your horses more than three
times day while they are working
hard during hot weather, even if il
does put you TO some inconvenience.
The extra work that they will do, and
the better condition in which they will
keep, will fully repay you.
Do not attempt to grow root crops
without feeding them well. Without
exception they are gross feeders, and
demand good, rich soil in order to
produce paying yields. The men who
are most successful with these apply an
amount of manure that many farmers
would consider excessive for any crop.
A crop which will produce a good
yield of forage and hay upon light soils
is one of the things that we need. The
Michigan station thinks we may have
it in Spurry, an annual which they
have recently been testing with good
results. This is called weed in Great
Britain, but is a hay and forage cror
in Belgium, France and Russia.

Prairies Fired by lightning.

A bolt of lightning set fire TO the dry
prairie grass in Hodgeman County,
Kansas, few days ago A heavy cleo
trio storm came up and the heavens
we're ablaze with lightning. The
country was MS dry as tinder, and a
sea of dry prairie grass extended for
miles. The lightning struck the earth,
boring hole in the ground six feet
deep, and setting the grass on fire,
There was high wind, and before the
rain, which followed, could extinguish
the fire itcompletely it devastated tract
of country five miles wide by ten long,
destroying fonces, barns and farm
houses. The occupants of the houses
only escaped with their lives by taking
refuge in their 'cyclone pits" which
are dug out in the earth and covered
with dirt. A large number of horses
and cattle perished in the flames, -

gagged in investigating the liquor problem
was +. W. Campbell, NJ. D., Dean OF the
Faculty OF Lennox College, attending ply
sician OF Western Hospital, and Medical
Referee for the Canadian Life and New York
Insurance Companies. He testified that a
great proportion ofthe cases he had to deal
with in his hospital practice was caused by
drink. He would say at least seventy per
cent. directly, and from ten TO fifteen per
cent. indirectly. Closely questioned by tho
Chairman, he repeated his statement that
fully eighty-nve per cent. OF the hospital
cases were the result OF drink. He further
volunteered the statement that after nino
years of experience of dealing with 120 SOL

SEVERAL SORTS OF pRrAp.

Pulled bread is delicious accom-
paniment of cheese, and is an agree
able substitute for the usual biscuits,
with lemonade, wine and tea. Take
from the oven an ordinary loaf when
it is about half baked, and, with the
fingers, while it is still hot, put the
half set dough into pieces of Irregular
shape, about the size of an egg. Do
not attempt to smooth or fiatten them,
as they are better the rougher they
are. Set on tins, place in very slow
oven and bake to rich brown.
Rice bread is variation of the staff
of life which breaks the monotony of
the continual wheat bread fare. Take
half pound of rice and boil gently
over slow fire in quart of water nm
til it is soft enough to be beaten into
q smooth paste. Mix this while warm
into pound and quarter of -four,
adding at the same time the usual
quantity of yeast. Knoed it very thor
oughly. Allow the dough to work
near the fire, after which divide it into
loaves and bake.
Potato bread is another variation
which is much liked. Place three
pounds of flour near the fire to warm /;
take a pound of potatoes, peel, boil
and wash them as though for the table.
Mix with cold water until they are
smooth and liquid enough to pass
through a sieve easily. Add the yeast,
mix and bake in the usual way,-New

PLANTING YOUNG TREES.

A great deal of difficulty is ex-
prienced i'll handling young trees that
have been bought at nursery, and
especially if they have been trans
ported long distance. All nursery
men in sending out trees should con-
slider it part of their contract to send
written orders with their trees, giving
| n good description of the kind Of soil
in which the trees have been growing,
and the general location of the nursery.
This would help many farmers and
fruit growers to give the trees good
start As it is now, very often the
trees are forced to adapt themselves to
entirely different soil to which they
have been accustomed, and year or
two of good growth is lost through
this sudden change.
A great deal can be saved, however,
| if the farmer understands how to
handle the trees and how best to set
them out. Many trees are received
during a dry season, and as they have
been transported q long distance, they
need planting at once. When the
trees are received they should be set
Immediately, and the longer they are
kept implanted the longer will the
check to their growth be made. Prune
off carefully ali dead and mutilated
roots. Then dig hole large enough
to accommodate all of the remaining
roots in the positions in which they
hang. If the roots can be planted in
their natural position there will be
less danger of loss; but to do this,
very large holes are often required.
Place the tree in the hole and fill it
half up with the clay, and then
saturate it thoroughly with water until
it is workable clay. With small hoe
or blunt stick this sticky clay should
be worked carefully around and into
the roots of the tree. With little
labor at this work the roots will
quickly get established, and decide
largely the future of the tree. After
this the rest of the soil should be
thrown in and piled up around the
tree, and good mulch of stable
manure provided. If the season is a
wet instead of a dry one, the top
mulch will not be needed, but if there
is any danger of drought, the mulch
is the only way to prevent the roots
from getting thirsty. But with a good
mulch a newly set tree can be kept
moist for months. The water that
has been applied directly to the roots
will be kept there, and not allowed to
evaporate.
To put all of the soil back into the
hole, and then pour water upon it, is a
method that many practice now, but
is not nearly as satisfactory as the one
described A great deal of the water
thus put on the surface will never get
down to the roots, but will be absorbed
more by the surrounding surface soil.
When We put it in the hole half filed
with soil, it goes direct to the roots,
where it is needed. Where the soil is
very dry in times of drought, it is sur
prising to see how much water the
surface soil will absorb. If one digs
down o foot, however, he will find
that the subsoil is still untouched by
the water. American Cultivator.

FEEDING VALUE OF CREAM o1UrrN ME-

FEEDING VALUE OF CREAM GLUTEN MEAL.
The results of series of feeding
tests at the Vermont experiment rita
tion with sugar meal, cream gluten
meal and germ feed speak very strong.
ly in favor of the high feeding value
OF cream gluten meal. Two of the
COWS ate it quite woll, the other left a
good deal of it, but in spite of this the
cream gluten produces more mill; than
the bran and corn in four cases out CT
six, makes a richer milk five times out
Of six and yields more butter fat every
time. The milk increases about one
twelfth, the richness of the milk in
creases a third of one per cent. and tho
net gain is about one-sixth of the total
fat.
On herd Of twenty COWS yielding
5000 pounds apiece of four per cent,
milk with butter at twenty-five cents a
pound such an increase would repre-

The figures obtained show that not
withstanding the fact that the sugar
meal was not eaten in so large quenti-
ties as the bran and corn, and the
further fact that what effect the change
to pasture had was against the sugar

REST cRop FROM DRILLED coRN.

For three years, says a New York
farmer in the Tribune, our drilled
corn has yielded from LOG to 1870 bush
els of ears per acre, whereas we got
but seventy-tive to 100 by tho check
row method. The extra yield is due
to there being more stalks; you can
have four to six stalks to every three
feet of drill, and they ear as well as
three to four stalks put in a checkrow
clump. We plow the ground in the
fall, draw ten to twelve loads of good
stable manure per acre early in the
spring, so the strength of the manure
will be partly washed into the soil be-
fore planting. Harrow same as for
any crop. Set the drill to SOW from
81 to 81 quarts per acre, according to
size and variety of corn. But the
safest way to set the drill is to pull
the rubber hose out of the hoe and let
the corn run on top of the ground, and
set it 50 it will run from four to six
kernels every three feet of drill; to
run it any thicker is waste of time,

those not wishing to buy much fertil-

no danger of injury to the seed. Per-
sons desirous of planting pumpkins
