Much is being said about high breed

back, the memory Of which no man re-

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

IT Is said that hops planted on the up
land are freer from lice than those
planted in the river bottoms
THE soil that is worked thoroughly
before potatoes are planted is the soil
that will produce the best possible crop
that such soil can produce.
APPLY the wood ashes to the potato
crop after planting, sowing broadcast
at the rate of 600 pounds per acre. All
root crops are benefited by ashes.
VARIETIES of mangel wurtzel that
have large number of fine roots are
not as good as those that are free OF
such roots They do not keep as well.
The orange globe is good variety.
ONE pound Of paris green to 800
pounds of water. with about Is pounds
Of soft soap, is good for spraying for the
codling moth. 1t should be used sew
eral times about fifteen days apart.
THE Oregon agricultural experiment
station advises wrapping trees with
burlap as well as spraying them for the
codling moth. Every five or six days
the wrapping is removed and the larve
found beneath killed.-Farmers' Voice.

Boz stalls for Live stock.

Box stalls for cattle and horses are
cheap luxuries and indispensable neces-
saries- They permit the animal to
choose its position and change it at
pleasure. To thrive well they must be
at ease. Comfort is essential TO health
and well doing. Healthy development
comes from freedom, not constraint.
Young animals. cramped and confined,
never attain the highest symmetry.
strength and vitality. Box stalls and
open yards are necessary for growing
animals, and very beneficial to those
which are grown Box stalls at night
and the freedom of the yards by day,
when cattle can be comfortable there,
add much to their thrift and enjoy
ment. Air and exercise can never be
dispensed with. either by man or brute,
without serious detriment.

The Effects of Lime.

The effects of lime in the soil are
then, first, to supply the demands of
the crop; second, it has the effects by a
chemical action well known and under
stood. to dissolve other minerals in the
soil existing in an insoluble condition,
as potash and phosphoric acid, and thus
make these available as plant food
third. it exerts another effect on the
organic matter in the soil by decompos-
ing it and developing the nitrogen in it
and forming compounds with this ele-
ment of plant food, and thus makes this
inert organic matter available for the
use of the crops; fourth, it has a me
chanical effect in making the soil more
open in texture when the land is clay
and impervious to air and moisture and
more compact and less porous when
it is sandy and too pervious to mois-

ChristenIng Baskets.

Very pretty and convenient for othos
purposes are the christening baskets
which are now SO popular. They are
shaped like the basket in which Phar-

They are lined inside with fiuted mus

edge made of muslin and lace. At the
head is little muslin cover shirred up
on reeds, trimmed all around with a
plated frill, and made to fold back or
to cover the baby's face. 1t is a COM
