Roots In Tile praIns.

Some striking instances are given

resorted to, which will allow the

has known no instances where roots
from fruit trees have proved seriously
troublesome; and he urges a special
reason why drains should be straight

tile drain is sure to cause sediment
to settle at the crooks and eventually
to choke the drain entirely.

A Neat Arrangement.

1t was an old-fashioned house
keeper who instructed her Younger
nelghbor in the art of keeping a
mattress bright and clean. The rub
bling against the Stats or woven wire
of the springs often rusts the ticking,
or at least darkens and discolors 1t.
To prevent this, take a piece Of
strong, unbleached sheC citing several
inches larger each way than the mat
tress, and at each corner and in the
middle, lengthwise, fasten a twelve.
inch piece Of tace, sewing it in the
middle to form strings six inches
long. Lay this smoothly over the
springs and the mattress on top At
each corner and in the middle of the
mattress, straps, formed of mattress
binding, are sewed by their corners
only Through these straps pass the
tapes, tying them in a bow-knot.
When you wish to turn the mattress,
remove the dust from about the tack
lngs with a stiff brush, unite the
tapes and turn, and the mattress will
look fresh and bright for years. -

Professor Budd of the Iowa Exper-

orchard does best when planted
thicklY in rows running north and
south, and giving wider space be-
tween the rows to admit the sun and
allow free circulation of air. Orch
ards where the rows were twenty
four feet apart, and the trees ten
feet apart In the row, have done bet
ter than those planted in the usual
way. He also thinks root grating
of the cherry is better than budding,
setting them in the ground to the
top bud Of the scion, which enables
roots to be thrown out directly from
the scion.

A Non-RreedIng Cow.

Ten per cent. of cows are failures
as breeders. Some are incorrigible,
but others may be brought into con-
dition by proper treatment Give
some cooling laxative, as epson salts,
dissolved in oatmeal infusion, or any
similar liquid and repeat twice at in
tervals Of three days. The feeding
should be light and diRestible, but
nutritious, as bran and linseed mash
but never cottenseed meal, which is
often the cause Of the disability. BY
daily meetings with the bull it is fire..
uuently successful. 1t is desirable to
keep cows regularly bred and to have
a calf once a year. The animal is
naturally disposed to this, and ir.
regularity is the most frequent cause
of introducing trouble into a herd. -

Hogs Appreciate Comforts.

in the weather. This is shown by
their restlessness before storms and
their careful preparation of warm
beds before the approach of cold

hot weather is evidenced by the way
in which it avoids the sun and seeks
the coolest retreats to be found.

Commissioner Senner, of New York.
He has received a letter purportlng
to come from a Chicago man, who
declares that he wishes to be put in
communication with some immigrant
girl with view to marriage. This
letter, if genuine, would indicate
that there are in Chicago no girls
worth marrying. Such a proposition
is, of course, ridiculous and Insulting.
Chicago girls are known far and wide
for their wit, their intelligence, and
their good looks. They are, indeed,
the greatest glory Of the city. Their
accomplishments are not limited to
the fashionable arts. They have
been brought up practically. They
can not only play the piano, but they
can cook dinner. They are equally
at home discussing the music of the
future and sewing on shirt buttons.
They are healthy, handsome damsels,
with lungs expanded by the air Of
the prairies, and with intellects
brOadened by liberal education. They
are, as matter of fact and to put
it plainly, wOrld-beaters, and no man
in his senses would go to New York
or anywhere else to look for a wife
after seeing the modest yet independ-
ent maidens Of this town. Some one
is having fun with Mr.. Senner.

course, II these shrubs are cut back
in the autumn or winter, or 10 early
spring before they bloom, the flower
buds are removed. On the other
hand late blooming shrubs, like the
panicled hydrangea, hibiscus and

strong growth Of wood and buds for
flowers which open in late summer
and early autumn. Garden and
