TREE PLANTING.

Mr.. N. Dinner, the well known hor-
ticulturist of Dayton, Ohio, recently
made the following statement with re-
gard to tree planting before the stu
dents of the School of Agriculture OF
the Ohio State University:
81 give special attention to plant
ing. consider this matter of plant
ing very important one. 1t is really
very much neglected. set my trees a
little deeper in the orchard than they
stand in the nursery. I dig holes for
setting twelve or fifteen inches deep,
and when l come to the cultivation of
my trees l throw the earth toward
them. In preparing the trees for
planting, I cut off all bruised or mutt
lated roots. In the peach tree, cut
the top also, in order to give the tree
proper shape, otherwise you will have
long branches that will break beneath
the weight of the fruit. If your tree
has good root, you need have no fear
That the cutting of the top will injure
it,"
"Have you plan for keeping your
trees in line in planting?.'
"I have always exercised great care
in setting my trees to have them well
arranged. I use very simple device
of my own, Under proper arrange
ment the orchards look better, and /
think do better, when arranged i'll
regular order"

CHRYsANTHENUNS

Who doesn't love chrysanthemums
Yet comparatively few raise them, the
reason usually given being that they
are too much trouble. Many others,
not knowing that they can be raised
from seed. thinking the plants must
be purchased from florist, do not
raise them on account of the expense.
One nice way to manage them is to
fit lot OF egg-shells into box, fill
the shells with sandy soil, and in each
one plant Il seed, covering them TO
depth equal to about twice the thick
ness of the seed Care for them as
for any other seed If planted about
the last of February they will be ready
TO transplant by the time all danger of
frost is gone. Transplant each plant

THE PERFECT FARM HORSE.

The perfect farm horse has not
been developed yet, and it is prob
able that there may not be entire con-
currence in the ideal drawn. This
summary of its accomplishments, how
ever, is not beyond attainment. 1t
must have the size and strength to
draw plow with ease; the style and
action necessary to make trip to
market and back in the least possible
time; of docile disposition, but not
to the detraction of nerve, a most
necessary qualification of good farm
horse; and, lastly, it must be such a
horse as can successfully meet compe-
tition in the sale ring. New York

TO DRAIN THE DISHES.

An appliance that will at once recon.
mend itself as useful accessory to the
kitchen is table grooved and inclined
SO that all the water upon it drains to
an outlet at the front into the basin in
which the articles have been washed,
and which is placed under the outlet.
A great many plates, cups, saucers,
jugs, decanters and such ware can be
drained at the same time. By bar,
which is fitted across the table, all
articles placed in the rack are held
quite securely, without possibility of
slipping. 1t is made entirely of wood,
so that no part will rust, and the ware
placed upon it is not liable to be
Clipped. The rack, legs and all parts
can be folded up into very small
space, and quite fiat. without the least
trouble, so it takes up little room
when not in use, and can be hung upon
the wall if desired. New York Adj

MARKING SHEEP.

The best ear marks for sheep are the
metal nickel plated loops, upon which
are stamped the owners name and the
numbers of the sheep. To distinguish
the ewes from the other sheep they
may be marked in the right ear, the
others in the left. An easy way to
further distinguish any special sheep
is to put the marks in perpendicularly
in the ears, the others being put in
horizontally. The numbers are used
in the record book of those sheep that
are so desired to be distinguished. -

POULTRY FOR RUNDOWN FARMS.

New England has always used the
raw material of other States and man
ufactured goods of all kinds in which
her people have excelled. With fewer
advantages as an agricultural country,
yet she excels in yield, in proportion
to area cultivated, in many crops that
are grown extensively elsewhere.
Massachusetts produces more corn per
acre than any other State, but it pays
her people better to grow articles that
bring the highest prices in market.
So far as pure breeds of poultry are
concerned, New England leads all other
sections, and she derives an enormous
sum from that source alone, while her
farmers also get the best prices for
dressed carcasses and eggs.
OF late years it has been largely adj
vertised that many farms in some sec
tions of New England no longer pay,
and that their owners have ceased to
take an interest in them, even going
so far as to abandon them in cases
that have been noticed. The cause
assigned is that farm products are
grown SO cheaply in the West that our
farmers cannot compete with the West
ern farmers. But our farmers can use
the cheap foods, however, and change
them into more salable products. II
may be mentioned that SO far as the
quality of the soil is concerned, poul.
try can be made a speciality on the
poorest or the best, and the frozen
stock of the West has never interfered
with prices in the East. Strictly fresh,
nearby eggs and choice carcasses can.
not be brought East, while consumer.
will not discard the good for the in

with about six hundred students
in attendance. So great is the

sugar, and whole beef, and other
things in the same proportion
There are two professional cooks
besides a host of assistants. The
boys get their milk and butter
from forty COWS which they tend
themselves. Chickens by the
