4 WRINKLE IN rorAro PLANTING.

A report has been published of an
interesting agricultural experiment
made last season by French scientist
He put his seed cutting for crop of
Irish potatoes into solution of six
pounds of saltpetre, six pounds of sui
plate of ammonia and twenty-five gal
Ions of water. and allowed them to
soak for twenty -four hours. He then
let them drain whole day that the
buds might swell before planting. He
put them into the ground in the usual
way, and obtained crop of forty-two
tons of potatoes to the acre. What
fertilizers and cultivation he used are
not stated, the immensely of the crop
being attributed to the treatment of
the seed before planting. 1t might be
an experiment worth trying in this
country. Orleans Picayune.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Never spray trees in bloom.
Be careful and thorough in your
work.
Do not spray so far into the season
as to affect the fruit.
Rather high land with north slope
is best for plum orchard.
In making emulsions remember the
inhammable nature of coal oil.
Try solutions on a small scale if
likely to iniure foliage, and watch re-
suits.
The annual egg production of a hen
in her prime is about three times her
weight.
When hens cease to lay, and do not
become broody the food should be
changed.
Careful analyses show that there is
no ground for alarm regarding the
effect of spraying fruit trees with Paris
green.
Bees like salt, and some beekeepers
keep vessel of salt and water near the
hives. The salt water remedy is rec
omended for bees with shaking palsy
The colonies whose queens are more
than year old produce the best cells
and queens. When they have older
queens they are even better for cell
building.
Some growers prefer northern ex-
posure for planting peach trees. This
is thought to retard spring growth,
lessen the danger of late frosts, and
protect the buds.
The mixtures are usually applied by
spraying machines, and the bulletin
cautions the farmer to prepare them
in wooden, earthen or brass vessels, az
the compounds act upon tin and iron.
Young fruit plants can be planted
inside large roll of paper to protect
them from grubs 1t should extend
several inches above the ground. Some.
times a roll of tin pushed into the
ground is used for the same purpose.
A frame containing clean and al
most new brood comb should be put in
the center of the brood nest to get
eggs for rearing queens. The comb
should have been used for brood rear
ing once or twice. If perfectly new it
is too tender to cut up for cell build
ing.
The sand cherry is thought to be a
good tree on which to graft the plum.
It unites readily, and the seeds are
obtained with little expense. The
sand cherry has been found to grow on
the poorest soil The plum buds in
fuence the cherry roots to such de-
gree that they become in few years
as large as the plum roots themselves.
A broom handle swarm catcher is de-
scribed as having been used twenty
years ago Rags were wrapped on one
end of the handle, making roll about
ten inches long. The rags were COW
cred with melted beeswax. The other
end of fine handle was made sharp and
stuck in the ground, one being used
for every three or four hives. Issu-
ing swarms would cluster on these,

Garnets.

The garnet borrows its name from
the '.granatici' or red hyacinths OF
antiquity, SO called from their re-
semblance to the scarlet blossom OF
the pomegranate. Garnets were
largely employed by the Romans and
Persians. The common garnet is OF
the color of red wine more or less
diluted. The earbuncle. which is
always cut en- cabochon, that is, in a
form approaching the hemispherical,
is of deeper and richer color The
yermilion garnet shows a consider
able admixture of yellow and often
much resembles the dark jacinth.
The almandine or Siriam garnet, So
called from the district in Pague
whence it comes, has a tinge of pur-
pie mixed with red and is in truth
one of the most beautiful of all the
colored precious stones and is found
in crystals Of considerable>size. Gar
nets and carbuneles have fallen in
estimation since the time of Mary
Queen OF Scots, when the pendent
carbuncle of her necklace was value
at 500 crowns, an enormous sum in
those days. y
