Electric Lights and shade Trees.

In the larger cities, where shade trees
are few and scattering, electric lights
seem to have no visible effect upon their
foliage. In the towns and villages,
however, many Of which have their
electric light systems, the effect is very
noticeable, the leaves appearing as
though they had been subjected to the
blighting breath of a harmattan. The
question was recently discussed at a
meeting of the eastern aboriculturists,
the conclusion being that trees need
darkness in order that they may sleep,
and that being continually kept awake
and active they have been worn out,
and made prematurely old by the action
of the'light. That this is probably the
correct solution of the mystery of the
dropping leaves may be judged from
the fact that similar trees in the neigh
borhood of those affected Though not
exposed to the illumination still, re-
tain their color and seem bright and
strong.-Ex

spurry Condemned by Farmers

"Spurry a foraging plant much adver-
tised and Endorsed by seedmen in this

nounced unsuccessful in Wood county
by farmers who have thoroughly tested
its merits" says the Grand Rapids Re-
porter "Messrs. Robinson of Cen
tralia say cattle will carefully pick
other feed from out field of spurry,
avoiding the spurry itself Mrs. Will
lam Miller of Grand Rapids, who has
tried it, considers it almost noxious
weed. The cattle do not like it, and it
is prolific and hard to eradicate. Mr..
Whitman considers it poor stuff. Byrde
Vaughan advised farmers TO let it
alone, to avoid getting it started.

Milking Alfalfa LAY.

The conversion of heavy mass of
green alfalfa into choice quality of
hay is an operation calling for no
small degree of skill and experience,
says Hay There But the process is
one 20 be learned by intelligent obset-
walton and practice, rather than from
written description. The first and
second crop of each season need to be
cured with special care, or they will
certainly mold in the stack. Beginners
need to beware on this point. The
knack TO be acquired is that of curing
the hay sufficiently to insure its keeping
sweet in the stack without becoming SO
dry as to shed its leaves in the hand
ling. This can not possibly be accom-
plished by curing fully in the swath.
a method much practiced is TO rake the
alfalfa while still quite green into
windows, where it is allowed to cure
somewhat more, and finally to make it
into moderate sized cocks, in which it
is allowed to stand until ready for the
stack. This process makes very nice
hay, but where a large acreage is to be
taken care of it is too slow and expen-
sive. Alfalfa may be cured with entire
success in the windrow, but it is inn
portant, when cured in this way, that
there be ample facilities for putting it
into stack very rapidly when ready,
otherwise it will become too dry, and
much of it will be lost in the handling,
especially if it has to be carried from the
field on wagons. Alfalfa should be cut
on the first appearance of bloom.

How Frost Acts on Some Plants.

The influence of frost in the production
of sugar in the sap of the sugar maple is
well known. 1t has also an influence
on the astringent principle in fruit.
This is illustrated in the case of the
persimmon, which, so puckery one day
as to be beyond eating, will be sweet
and delicious the day after if exposed
to frost. Another example recently
occurred to a writer in Meehan's
Monthly. 1t has been discovered that
a species of dock known as canaigre is
highly charged with fannie acid. Some
roots which had been frozen were sub
jected to chemical analysis and found
to be utterly destitute of tannin. The
manner in which frost acts to produce
these changes has not attracted the at
tention of investigators.

So GREAT has been the success OF
the railroad line opened about two
years ago between Jaffa and Jerusalem
that the company has been encour-
aged to propose to the Ottoman au-
thorities to build at its own expense
an entire system of quays in the port
of Jafra, besides new custom house
That such an offer should be made
and that there should exist a railroad
company in Palestine capable of car
rying it out, are favorable evidences
of the progress Of railroad enterprise
in the Holy Land.

SEEDS SOwN By CANNoN.-AleXander
Nasymth, the landscape painter, was
a man fruitful in eXpedients. To his
mind the fact that thing could not be
done in the ordinary manner was no
reason why it should be given up. His
son relates, in London Answers, the
following interesting example of his
ingenuity: The duke of Athol, says he,
consulted him as to some improvements
which he desired to make in his wood
land scenery near Dunkeld. Among
other things, a certain rocky crag
needed to be planted with trees, to re-
lieve the grim barrenness of its appear
ance. The question was how to dol as
it was impossible for any man to climb
the crag in order to set seeds or plants
in the cleft of the rock. A happy
idea struck my father. Having OBJ
served in front of the castle a pair of
small cannon, used for firing salutes on
great days, it occurred to him to turn
them to account. A tinsmith in the
village was ordered to make number
of canisters with covers. The canisters
were filled with all sorts of suitable
tree seeds. The cannon was loaded
and the canisters were fired up against
the high face of the rock. They burst
and scattered the seed in all directions.
Some years after, when my father re-
visited the place, he was delighted to
find that his scheme of planting by
artillery had proved successful; the
trees were fourishing in all the recesses
of the cliff.

MUSHROOMS WITH BACON Take some
full grown mushrooms and having
cleaned them procure a few rashers of
nice strealS bacon and fry it in the
usual manner. When nearly done add
a dozen or so of mushrooms and fry
them slowly until they are cooked. an
this process they will absorb all the
fat of the bacon, and with the addition
of little salt and pepper, will form a
most appetizing breakfast relish.

will do it again, and not improbably
they may do considerable part of the
