four lime barrels and lined their sides
with black jack. and Allied the center with
muck, fertilizing material. etc.
The inteFstices between the wood. were
wedged with cotton rags, and sand filled
in around the barrels Five or six nuts
were planted IN each barrel. When they
came up, tried to remove a part Of
them, but in doing so. broke of their tap
roots and concluded TO let them remain.
On my return in 1895. 1 found the bar
rels containing trees from twelve TO eigh-
teen inches high. I had the barrels re-
moved 10 where I wanted the trees to re-
main, and removed all but one. A few
slaves were removed from the side OF a
barrel, and the tap roots OF some Of the
trees had gone 10 the bottom. When I
arrived there, they were still in leaf, AMI
l noticed one tree, the leaves of which
were much larger than the remainder.

in box, that she could not get any 10

some mean turn. 1t is one of those old
superstitions handed down from generation
10 generation from our European ances-
tors. In Great Britain the belief that you
must not rescue a drowning person Is
most prevalent IN Cornwall and various
parts Of Scotland. The French sailor and
tho boatman of the Danube bow to the
decree, together with the Russians, and let
the people drown. The Bohemian fish
erman shrinks from snatching a drowning
man from the waters, fearing the water
demon will take away his luck in fishing
and drown him before he gets to the shore
with the would-be victim. In Germany
when some one Is drowned they say:
The river spirit claims his yearly sac
rifce," or, The Nix has taken him."
The belief is current not alone in those
countries above mentioned but the Kam-
sohatkans, rather than help man out Of
the water would force him under, and IL
he should escape to the shore no one would
receive him into their house or dare to
give him food-he is supposed TO be dead
after once falling into the water.

The question of the difference Of the
value between white and yellow corn has
been a matter Of investigation for many
years. 1t is about thirty years or more
since the New York State Agricultural
Society undertook some analysis to de-
termine the feeding value Of the two
kinds, and the result was to the effect
writing from memory only-that the
white grain had considerably more fat,
or oil in IL than the yellow grain. This
vas quite contrary to popular belief at the
time, the color Of the grain leading mos,
persons to suppose that there must be
more oil in the yellow varieties. The
proportion of oil in the white corn was
to Z per cent, which was a notable in
crease over that in the yellow corn. Now
the Mississippi station has tested the
productive ability OF the two varieties,
with the result of proving by several
years results that the white grain is the
more prolific of the two kinds to the
extent of two or three bushels per acre,
up to six or seven bushels. As these re-
suits agree very closely with those reach =
ed at seven other stations, the total "e-
suits being gained from 1887 tests with
400 different varieties. they may be safely
accepted as a rule for guidance by corn
growers.

Roofing n Rose shoot.
The American Garden.

Commenting upon the fact that many
people who have good success with other
flowers fall to propagate the rose, a writer
says: When a rose has developed a bud,
that shoot is in a proper state for roofing
Place layer Of oats in a common porous
saucer. and over it layer of sand. Cut
the shoot near leaf bud, and set so that
the bottom of the shoot will reach the
oats and the leaf bud be below the top of
the sand, which should be pressed firmly
about 1t, that no air may get In.
Water lightly, and turn a plain tumbler
over the slip. After a day or two in the
dark, bring into the light. and give bottom
heat by setting on a stone that has been
made quite warm. Lift the glass a few
minutes morning and evening, that the
leaves of the slip may breathe the fresh
air. or it will mould and be spoiled. Mois-
ture, light and heat, with an occasional
breath of air, will root the most stub
born slip If the sand is pressed firmly
about it.
Well rooted roses must be ported In soil
adapted to their needs. They are great
feeders, and worn out soil, or manure that
has stood years teaching under SHOWS
and rains, is good for nothing. The TOP
three inches of the soil of an old pasture,
or the soil from fence corners where II
has not often been turned up is good or
one may make soil by cutting sods three
inches thick and piling them in alternate
layers with manure from a COW yard

1t is said that the largest chestnut tree
known in the world is at Mt. Etna, In
Sicily. but one Of the oldest and most re-
markable trees I'm Great Britain II a chest
nut at Tortworth, the residence Of the Earl
of Ducie, near Bristol. In the reign OF
Stephen, who assembled the throne In il35,
it was, according to the Naturalists' Jour
nal. deemed so remarkable for its size that,
as appears upon record, II was well known
as n signal boundary to the Manor OF
Tortworth. 1t seems probable that this
tree is a thousand years old at least. II
is still in very fair vigor, and last year
produced a large crop of nuts. 1t meas

body is short-only about 10 feet in hight
and It then divides into three huge trunks
one of which measures nearly 30 feet In
girth.
Any kind of beans or peas that fowls
can swallow are good food for them; but
don't give large feeds of any such. Beans
and peas should be soaked ten or twelve
hours before being feed. Fed in n nat
ural condition they are hard to digest
and liable to swell and do harm. Pea
meal is good for laying hens, raw or
cooked, dry or soaked.
Grasshoppers have appeared in such
quantities between Eckley and Otis, NeD,
a distance Of twenty-five miles, as to
cover the Burlington railroad track and
cause much trouble. The engines have
been provided with steel brushes with
which to clear the track. At Yuma, Col,
they have invaded the grain fields, doing
much damage. They seem to be working
their way southeast.
A Kentuckian, who has about 200 chest
nut trees and 300 butternuts and walnuts,
says his income from them is more than
from any 300 acres Of land. The fruits
and the oils both have market, and every
wear many dollars worth of valuable
timber can be sold Further south tho
