]. L. Budd of Iowa Agricultural col
lege: We have just looked over a val
liable paper by Prof William Saunders
OF the experimental farms at Ottawa,
Canada, entitled Experiments in
Cross-Fertilizing." His exr eriments in
crossing wheat and other cereals have
much interest and value, but horti.
culturally his success in crossing
species Of our cultivated fruits are
specially suggestive. He reports sue
cessful crosses Of the Cuthbert and
Gregg raspberries, the black and white
currants, the black currant and the
gooseberry, and the red raspberry and
the blackberry. Joining his expert
ments with those of Burbank Of Cali
fornia, 1t seems We have much yet to
learn in regard to the possibilities Of
artificial crossing Of botanical species
and even genera. AS a recent ex-
ample, our student, George w. Carver,
recently crossed the blossoms of a fine
thorn on the campus with pollen Of
the ounce. The crossed fruits so far
are developing and look as well as any
fruits on the tree. That the ounce
pollen fortified the stigmas seems GER,
tain, but that we will secure seeds Is
not so certain, as in such violent,
crosses the seeds are usually abortiVe.
So far all the fruits of the wild crab
have been seedless when their bios
SONS were fortified with pollen Of our
common apple. So far as we have OBJ
served the seedlings supposed to be
hybrids are unchanged wild crabs. In
other words, they are products of bios
SONS which in some way were pol
linated naturally.

Salt the Poultry.-We do not all re-
member that salt is very beneficial to
poultry; laying hens especially require
it, as it has the properties Of increas7
ing the circulation Of the juices Of the
body, thus favoring a greater protein
assimilation. One ounce per day to
100 hens, and this proportion to any
flock is ample, reducing or increasing
the quantity according to the number
of fowls kept. A shallow box contain
ing fine salt may be put in their laying
houses, where they may have access to
II at all times. The fine salt is recon-
mended, because they don't get so much
at a time, and too much salt will hurt
any flock. You must see after them
when given salt and avoid excess.-Ex

Horse Sales in New York.-Business
all around among the private dealers
in horses, at the auction marts and
with the carriage makers is brisk, bet
ter than it has been for many MONTHS
Although the private dealers are SELL
Ing large number Of horses and get
ting good prices for them, such figures
can hardly be taken as representing
the tone Of the market. That can only
be inferred m what is done in the
public auction ring, where the buyer
and not the seller sets the value. Judg-I
ing by this standard the tone of the
market Is most certainly improved.
This applies entirely u auctions Of
representative stock, such as that re-.
Gently marketed at the special sales of
the past two or three weeks. The
bargains" which bring down the aver
age at most sales are generally horses
consigned in lots of from one to three
or four, and as rule they bring about
as much as they are worth. The one
trouble with the local horse market just
now is not that good prices cannot al
ways be secured for good horses, but
that there are comparatively so few
really good horses to attract the buy
ers who will give big money for any
thing they fancy.-New York Herald.
