Many interesting genealogical facus
have been brought to light through
the hunting up of old family records
Involved in proving eligibility to the
recently organized societies Of the
Colonial Danes and Dau hters Of the
Revolution. An amusing story is
told of Mrs. A., who has suddenly
and unexpectedly discovered a most
desirable ancestor, and who Is so
proud of her new acquisition that she
has had his portrait painted, his
biography written and printed, and
has made his name a household word
In her family. On searching her ped
igree she found, to her great surprise.
that her mothers people, quiet coun-
try folk, whom she had always con-
sidered az humble connections Of the
family. had really the best American
ancestry, and that it was the farm
er's daughter, a direct descendant OF
one Of the old colonial governors,
who had made a mesalliance when
she accepted what the world consid-
cred a great match, and married
Mrs. AS millionaire father.
At the recent meeting of the Ma
tional Colonial Danes, very curious
relationships were discovered, and it
was interesting to see old ladies from
the North and South, who had never
met, and had hitherto been unaware
Of the others existence, claim kin
ship through some common ancestor,
equally reyerenced in both families.

ouRrNa CLOVER HAY.

Glover hay is by all odds the best
fodder for ewes, and the curing of it
in good condition is so often q failure
and yet SO necessary that we give a few
hints founded on experience. For
sheep, especially ewes, it is important
to cut it green before it gets woody
and dry and the leaves begin to fall
of. As soon as the first blossom in
the field can be seen to have turned
browne or even begun to turn, it is time
to get out the mower.
Still, it is always best to consult the
thermometer, and it is we'll to delay a
few days, if necessary. until the indi-
cations are for a few days of settled
weather. If there is a fair promise Of
b spell of good weather, and help is
abundant, five or six acres may be cut
down at once. Let this be done in the
afternoon, so that the job will be done
before the dew falls. Dew on top of a
swarth is much more easily dried out
than when it is s%prinkled all through
it.
In the morning, as soon as the dew
is dried of, shake out the punches at
the corners of the land and where the
machine has dragged the swath to-
gether. A half days steady sunshine
will wilt it sufficiently. Take a hand
full of it and twist it; if sap can be
wrung out Of it let it wilt q little
longer. Then rake into w%indrows,
driving around the land the same way
the mower went. If no rain threatens
it may lie in windrows the first night;
otherwise, make it in cocks as high as
a mans head and as slender as Ia be
made to stand.
AL the subsequent curing should be
done in these cocks, either by turning
them neatly bottomside up or by
dividing them into two or three slices.
The great point in clover hay is to
cure it without letting the sun shine
on it. The English farmers understand
better than we do the superior excel
lence of shade-cured hay.-Colman's
Rural World.

AppnE-rw1a BLIGHT

There are two distinct forms of what
are called twig-blight in apple trees.
One is caused by minute insects boring
in the twigs, cutting and eating out
this soft pith, which causes the young
growta to suddenly wither and die,
the leaves usually remaining attached
to the twigs, appearing as though
scorched by heat; hence the name OF
SIRE blight" in some localities. In the
other form of blight the cause is un-
known, but it is supposed to be the. re-
suit of some disease of the sap, result
ing in q sudden check in the circula-
ton. The diseased twigs should be
cut away and then gathered up and
burned for the purpose of destroying
any insects in them, as well as. germs
of disease. This may not prevent the
appearance of blight the following
season, but it is thought to lessen its
destructiyeness New York Sun.

plosive will not freeze, that it is smoke
less and does not ignite easily. Nine
hundred tons of rock were torn away
by a blast, and the amount of maxi.
mete used was only three-fourths as
much as would have been required by
the explosives usually employed in
quarries. Four cartridges placed in
drill holes twenty feet deep were ex-
ploded by electricity. The rock at
the bottom wa shattered into small
bits, but neal the surface the pieces
were considerably larger. The whole
mass shivered apart almost noiselessly

HOW TO CULTIVATE WATER DRESS.


Water-cress is q hardy perennial and
is easily grown, even where it does
not grow naturally by planting along
the margins of ponds or streams,
! where it quickly increases both by
spreading of the roots and by seeding.
1t can best be cultivated where the
streams run through q level tract.
An old market gardener gives the
following directions for making the
beds: Surprising the stream is on the
average o foot deep and from six to
eight feet wide, running through q
meadow. A good plan for cultivation,
is to make excavations laterally, say in
beds five feet wide with alleys be-
tween, five feet, to a depth of about.
eight inches, or deep enough to be
flooded by the stream when it is of
average height, or, when shallow, by
damming it up SO as to flood the beds.
The advantage of having the beds at
right epgles to the stream rather than
parallel with it is that in the event OF
freshets the crop is less liable to be
washed away. The length and num-
Der of beds must of course be deter
mined by circumstances.
Water-cress seeds terminate freely
in earth when kept saturated; hence
the beds, when properly leveled and
pulverized, should be slightly flooded
tenough to saturate the soil only when
the seeds germinate) ; for of course, il
the beds were filed up with water the
seeds would be washed of. After the
seedlings have started SO as to show
green the water may gradually be let
on as they develop.
Where water-cress is found growing
naturally the beds can be made by set
ting the plants six to twelve inches
apart each way. When the cultivation
is once begun there is no difficulty in
forming new beds, as the plants grow
very rapidly where proper conditions
are supplied.
If the plants are set out or seeds
sown by the middle of August the beds
will be covered by November. The
streams being full in autumn the beds
will be fully flooded, SO as to produce
the plants during the winter.
Nature is q true teacher; the nearer
we can come to her teaching by exam-
Pile the nearer we will have perfect
plants. In the wild state water-cress
is always found growing best in clear,
shallow, slowly running water with .
sandy or gravelly bottom .-Farm,
