FARM Notes.
Orchard and Garden.

and worms IN r0SeDuSheS.
Never apply coarse, fresh manure
close around the stems of the trees.
Salt sprinkled on the ground
around them is good for ounce
trees.
In the orchard, as elsewhere, do
not try to spread over too much
ground.
The plum does best when plant
ed closely, IL to Is feet being a
good distance.
Rhubarb plants can now be COW
cred with manure and the covering
be left on until Spring.
All roots, such as beets, parsnips,
etc, will keep fresh all Winter if
packed in sand in the cellar.
By banking up all fall-planted
trees injury from heaving during
the Winter may be largely prevent
ed.
Grapes in open ground that are
pruned in the Fall should be laid
down and kept down by weighing
to hold them in place. ~
Any attempt to change to change
the form of tree after it COM
mences to bear is almost certain TO
damage the tree seriously.
By gathering up all the rubbish
around the garden and orchard,
harboring places for insects during
the Winter may be destroyed.
Mulching greatly assists in pro-
tecting strawberry plants during
the Winter. 1t should be applied
as soon as the ground freezes.
In the Fall is a good time to
plant rows of trees in such posit-
ions that they will shelter the or
chard and buildings from cold and
high winds.
Reporting plants becomes neces-
sary at intervals for two reasons,
namely, the plant uses up the avail
able fertility in the soil and fills
the pots with roots.
Soot-water is safe and efficient
fertilizer for all kinds of plants
growing i'll pots. Generally it is
better to put SCOT in water and use
it in watering the plants.
Whenever young tree is to be
set in an orchard in place of an
old one that has died, remove all
the dead roots and the dirt that
surrounded them and put in new
soil.
The clusters of eggs that may be
found on apple-tree limbs should
be picked off during the open
weather of Winter and in this way
prevent the Matching of the tent
caterpillar.
All small apples and others de-
fective in form or damaged by
worms have their best market on
the farm as food for the stock. If
packed with sound fruit, even in
small proportion, they reduce the
price of all.
There are certain kinds of fruits,
like raspberries, blackberries and
cherries, that are profitable when
dried and evaporated, so that there
is little danger of planting too
many, as all that cannot be mar
keted fresh can be utilized in this
way.
If the strawberry plants are
mulched in good season, the mois-
ture will hold better, the yield will
be greater, the berries larger and
they will be kept cleaner. Apply
the mulch as soon as the ground
freezes hard enough to bear up a
wagon.
With all kinds of trees the rule
should be to plant at such distance

RICH AND SOFT VOICES.
Experiments With Colored Boys and Girl
BY DR.. Antonfn Dyorak.

Experiments With CoIored Boys and Girls
by DIR. Antonin Dvorak.
Dr. Antonin Dvorak, director of the
National Conservatory of Music of
America. has become deeply interested
in the cultivation of the Negro voice.
For several months past he has con-
Quoted class of colored boys and girls,
with the object of not only teaching
them the elementary principles of
music, but of studying the range, the
power and the possibilities of their
voices His pupils have entered en-
Enthusiastically into the spirit of the
work, and if critical listener may
find fault with the technique or the art
of their choruses, he could find nothing
to criticise in the vim and the intelli-
gence of their singing. When asked
how he had succeeded thus far and
what observations he had made, DR..
Dvorak said:
even the short term of tuition that
we have given colored pupils entities
us to express a favorable opinion OF
their possibilities In general they
have rich and soft, natural voices.
The cultivation of their voices, how
ever, has been of such short period as
compared with that of the whites that
it is impossible to say accurately what
we will be able to bring them to. We
can only judge by their present status.
that is their natural voice and tenn
permanent, but l think we have right
to expect excellent results. 1t does

well, but necessary requisite is the
sanguine temperament and the vivid,
easily affected and susceptible magma
ton. have not noticed these qualities
SO much in the voices of the white pu-
pills as in those of the colored ones In
volume their voice is superior to that OF
the whites, and in timbr it is equal if
not superior. Colored people have GER
tainly every requisite to make good
opera singers. Their fondness of show,
their vanity, love of color, and mimicry
make them natural actors"
DIR. Dvorak said that he would like
to see genuine oldfashioned colored
minstrel show-not of the burnt cork
variety, but genuine darkies, who,
without any knowledge of musical ar.
or stage effects, sing and dance as their
forefathers did.
Mrs. Jeanette M. Thurber, the pres.
ident of the conservatory, said ''It is
one of the most delightful things in
the world to watch our colored class at
work. The amount of enthusiasm
which they throw into their singing is
wonderful If their voices turn out as
DR.. Dvorak thinks they will, we may
all look forward to the Negro race
taking the lead in American music
1 Go not see why they could not be
trained to opera as well as the Italian
singers are. If, unframed, their voices
are SO excellent, what may we not ex.
pect after years of hard work and
training?"-N Y Sr1

Wards nearly finished work
Ward was believed in China to have &C
cumulated a great fortune. His accounts
were all in the hands Of a well known Chi
nese banker. When the family of the
American, some of whom are living now
applied for settlement, the heather Chi
nee" blandly denied knowing anything
about it, and not tael was ever recovered
from Celestial clutches. The story of the
Yankee sailor Ward, though but little
known to his countrymen, is one of the 70
mances of the nineteenth century. Had it
not been for our own war, which was raging
at the time, absorbing public attention, bis
wonderful career would have been far more
widely talked about. The English have
since claimed that had Ward lived to have
finally achieved his plans he would have
proved worse menace to China than the
Tai-Pings themselves But this is mere
international jealousy.
Colonel Forester was wont to speak OF
his old time chief of those romantic DAYS
in terms of enthusiastic praise, and in the
company of his intimates he was full of the
most interesting anecdotes concerning his
adventures by field and food, when the
destinies of great empire were hanging in
the balance, and one heroic American was
the weight that tipped the scale.
