PLANTING TREES ON THE SURFACE.

1t is customary to dig hole for the
tree to be transplanted; but this is
not necessary to success. There are
places where the rock comes SO near
the surface that there is not room to
dig ahole without putting the roots on
the rock. The tree may then be set
on the surface Of the ground, first re-
moving or turning over the sod, SO
that the roots will not come in contact
with that. A tree thus planted, with
its roots spread on fine mould and
covered with sufiiciency of soil pro-
cured from distance to hold it in
position, is better fitted for growing
than are most trees set in hole and
covered even with the surrounding
surface. Stakes should be driven into
the soil beside these trees. and
the trees should be tied to them
until they become firmly rooted.
This plan is of advantage where stag
nant water comes near the surface, as
the tree is thus put on mound and is
not obliged to extend its roots into
the subsoil. Boston Cultivator.

CURING GRASSES AND cLovEns.

The natural grasses, when cut for
hay, are generally spread and dried as
rapidly as possible in order to secure
them in the best possible condition
The same method is not applicable to
the clover crop. It requires a longer
time to cure properly, and if exposed
to the scorching sun it is injured more
than the natural grasses, since it's sue
culent leaves and tender blossoms are
quickly Drowned and lose their sweet
ness in measure, and are themselves
liable to be wasted in handling over.
Many prefer curing in the cock. Now
clover when dry and free from dew ;
let it wilt, and the same day it is
mown fork it into cocks which will
weigh from forty to fifty pounds when
fit for the barn. Do not rake and roll,
as that will compress it too much.
Place it in the burn according to the
weather, but it may be safely moved

comparatively green and fresh. When

found to be destitute. or nearly 80, ol

PREMATURE sounNEss OF MILK.

This common trouble in hot weather
is mostly due to some infection of the
milk 10y acid of previous milkings adj
herring to the pals. Sometimes it may
be caused by overheating of the COWS,
but rarely. The most common cause
is neglect perfectly to clean the pals
or milkpans. These should first be
cleaned in cold water, in which COM
mon washing soda is dissolved. A
stiff brush is used to clean the corners
thoroughly. The vessels are then
rinsed with hot water twice, then
again with cold, and then turned bot
tom upward on q stand in shady
place out of doors to drain for an
hour or two, when they should be re-
moved to the dairy room. Before
being used they should be rinsed with
perfectly pure cold water. 1t Is
alleged, and possibly with truth, that
in the majority of instances in which
diseases have been conveyed in milk
the cause has been the use of impure
water for rinsing the utensils. New

EGG OUTLETS.


To prepare egg outlets take five
eggs, one tablespoonful of butter,
three-fourths of teaspoonful Of salt,
one-eighth of teaspoonful of pepper,
crumbs for breading and fat for fry
ing. Put four of the egs in a deep
saucepan and fill up with boiling
water. Cover and let them stand on
the coolest part of the rauge for twen-
ty minutes. At the end of this time
pour off the hot water and cover with
cold water. Remove the shells and
cut the eggs in two, lengthwise, using
plated knife. Let a soup plate stand
in hot water until heated through.
Put the butter, salt and pepper in this
plate and stir until the butter is
melted.
Beat the fifth egg in another soup
plate. and have third plate filed
with dry and sifted bread crumbs.
Drop the eggs one at time in the
melted hutter, then in the beaten egg,
and finally roll them in the crumbs.
Lay them on platter and set in q
cold place Until it is time to cook
them; then put them in the frying
basket and cook in hot fat for one
minute. Serve with bisque or curry

The Growth Of One Generation.

Thirty years is one generation, and
it is estimated that 200 generations
will take one back to the time of

much has been done by mankind in
the way of Improvement and much of
what has been done is now claimed by
the modern woman as due to woman
ly influence.
Unfortunately statistics are wanting
for considerable portion of the above
period, and the modern woman is
forced to base her argument more or
less on comparisons and analogy. 1t

rule, the sooner farmer is quit Of
such stock the better. Rich pasture
and heavy feeding with cotton seed or
linseed Crushed or ground), wheat
bran, oat meal or corn meal, will put
these cattle in passable condition in a
surprisingly short time. Begin with
q small quantity when cattle are not
used to grain, increasing the allowance
steadily until they are taking all they
can eat without apparent detriment.

A PAYING BUSINESS.

The most salable farm animal to
day is first class dairy COW. We Of
ten wonder why more farmers back on
the hilly, rough pasture farms do not
make q business of raising heifers of
good milking strains to supply milk
men in the milk-producing counties.
Let the mich COW pass the first two
years of her life on cheap land and
not try to pay interest on costly land
until she is able to give milk. Last
year we told OF Massachusetts far
mer who takes his hiefers by rail to
cheap pastures in Maine every spring,
wintering even on grey-hay and oil
and cotton-seed meals. These hiefers
are sold to milkmen with their first
calf. We believe that man could,
in few years, establish reputation
for good milking stock, and be as
sured of steady income. Some men
can make this pay better than ordin-
ary dairying. Rural New Yorker.

Eight Miles an Hour.

Several Of the great trunk railroads
OF the North are experimenting on
their branch lines with electricity as a
motive power and the reports OF its
use are very satisfactory. It has been
demonstrated that electricity is
cheaper than steam and that it will
give any rate of speed that can reason
ably be desired.
A few days ago an electric locomo-
tive on the Nantasket branch of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad was run at speed of eighty
miles an hour.
Hardly anybody wants to go at that
rate even in these fast timee, but the
experiment has demonstrated that
electricity may be applied for rapid
transit.
Opinions differ as to prospects OF
general substitution Of electricity
for steam on railroads but the tend
ency is clearly in that direction and
many practical railroad men believe
that within a few years the bulk of
railroad business will be moved by
electricity.-Atlanta journal.

The practical use which was mad,
Of Professor Elisha Gray's latest in
vention, the telautograph, last Friday
in transmitting autograph letters from
Cleveland, Ohio. by means OF al
ordinary telegraph wire 431 miles tc
the office OF q Chicago newspaper,
amounts, it is claimed, to demon
stration Of the fitness Of this new in.
strument to serve the purpose fol
which it was designed. Seven yearl
the inventor has been at work per
fecting the transmitting and receiving
instruments, and he was able to show
some creditable results five years age
when the first public experiments were
made. Later at the Worlds Fair he
made an exhibition of the powers OF
his machine, which was considered
wonderful, but it was only two months
ago that a long-distance test was sue
cessfully made showing that the in
vention had become entirely practical.
This test was between London and
Paris, distance of over 300 miles,
and the results were satisfactory at
every point. In this country the first
practical use of the new device was the
Cleveland Chicago correspondence of
last Friday. Autograph letters and
original drawings were reproduced by
electricity with only few seconds loss
of time at a distance of hun
dreds of miles from the writer,
and the copy was exact in every line
and dot, n faithful reproduction. The
instruments by means of which this
wonder is accomplished are simple in
construction but very delicately adj
justed. Every motion made by the
pencil in the hand of the writer at the
transmitting instrument is reproduced
by an automatic pen ut the receiver,
and perfect copy is the result. The
advantage of the device is that it
enables any person to send his own
message without the Intervention Of
skilled operator, and it provides a way
for bankers to sign papers or for busi-
ness men to make out documents in
distant city without the delay of the

Electrical Weed Killer.

In the American Engineer and Rail-
way Journal description is given of
an electrical device for the destruction
of weeds, as used on railroad lines.
Very high-pressure current is taken
from a generator on tramcar travel
ing on the railroad. One side of the
circuit is connected to the ground,
and the other is conducted through u
series OF fine wires to the tops of tho
weeds and vegetation along the road.
In this way the electric current trav-
erses the roots and body of plant,
rupturing it's cells and destroying it.
The device is thoroughly practical,
and reduces the cost of maintenance
OF way $40 to $50 per year per mile.
