CARE OF YOUNG TREES.

BY all means the most critical pc
riod in the life of fruit tree, or simi.
lar shrub, is during the first year after
it has been transplanted from the nur-
sery. If properly cared for during
this period il will generally be found
in good condition in the following
spring, and annually thereafter. On
the other hand, if it receives check
during the first few months succeed
ing its removal, IL is liable never to re-
cover.
The first care, of course, must be
for the roots. These should be pro.
tected from excessive dryness, partic-
ularly during any period of drough.
For this purpose mulching furnishes
the best protection. 1t may be put on
as soon as the tree is set, but in any
case should be placed before the
ground becomes dry and baked. II
should extend somewhat further from
the trunk of the tree than the roots
are liable to reach, in order that the
smaller and tenderer fibres may have
protection. Artificial watering is
helpful in times of dryness, but the
expedient can never fully take the
place Of natural moisture of the soil.
A careful lookout should he kept
during this time for insect enemies,
and If any appear they should be
promptly and effectually removed by
the most approved means but in any
operations looking to this end care
should be taken not to do the young
wood any injury which may possibly
be avoided. Amateur Gardening.

PURE WATER FOR THE DAIRY.

OF those who go down to the sea in
ships and the great bodies of water
held in city reservoirs He contends
that as sailors carry water TO sea and
the voyage may last for months, they
drink "the same old water" This
mans argument is bottomed on igno-
rance of the real conditions. The dis
lance he lives from the sea is some
justification for his deficient knowl-
edge of the sort of water sailors use
for drinking purposes, but is not
available for his lack of information
regarding city reservoirs. The truth is
thatall modern constructed ships carry
water condensers which permit of an
abundance of fresh water being avail

New York Truth says: "The ques-
ton of Woman Suffrage seems to have
been solved in New Zealand where a
bill enfranchising women was passed
last autumn. The election came two
months after the passage of the bill
and out of an enrolment of l29, 900
names on the register, 80, 600 went to
the polls. This means that larger
rorortion of women than of men on
the electoral roll voted. 1t was urged
by many that the enfranchisement of
women would revolutioniZe parties,
butt a careful study of the strength OF
the different political factions shows
that hardly any change has taken
place. 1t is not to be inferred from
this that the women lacked indepen-
dence and followed masculine leader
ship blindly, for whenever an indc-
pendent candidate was put up, they
voted for HIM, irrespective of partisan
affiliations, which speaks volumes in
favor of their good sense and discrim-
ination. 1t is yet too early to jump AT
conclusions or to predict women's fu-

Effects of Deep.Sea Pressure.

1t is not unusual for bottles of
champagne to be dipped and trolled
in salt water, when there is no ice on
shipboard, in order to get the wine to
n palatable temperature, but never
long enough TO cause contact between
the salt water and the wine. We can
hardly tell what the effect upon the
wine would be if the bottle were i'm
mersed at great depth for any con-
siderable time. 1t is fact, however,
that if an ordinary glass bottle, tight
ly corked and sealed, be sunk in, say,
fifty fathoms of salt water and left
there for about ten minutes, it may,
when brought to the surface, be found
partly full of water. We say ''moy,"
because the presume of the superin.
cumbent mass of water will either
force the water through the porous
glass, force the cork into the bottle,
or break the bottle. BY a law of
hydrostatics the pressure of water is
in proportion to it's vertical height
and its area at the base. 1t is reckon.
ed that the pressure of water on any
body plunged into it is about one
pound to the square inch for every
two feet of the depth. Bottles filled
with fresh water, tightly corked and
sealed, have been sunk to great depths
III the ocean, and where the enormous
pressure has not burst the bottles it
has driven in the cork and displaced
the fresh with salt water. Pieces of
wood have been weighted and sunk in
the sea, with the result that the tissues
have become so condensed that the
wood has lost its buoyancy and will
never float again. 1t could not even
be burned when apparently quite dry.
