Best Age to Set Annie Trees.

best age TO Set Apple Trees.
One year old trees cost less than ola
er ones.
They can be lifted from the nursery
without any loss of roots. and if proper
ly set will make about the same growth
as if in the nursery, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch.
The head can be formed at any de-
sired hight. This is difficult TO do
with older trees
They can be set in the orchard in less
than half the time required for older
trees, and no necessity for stalking.
The transportation on such trees Gf
necessary is a small item compared
with larger ones
The older and larger the tree the
greater the loss in roots. They will in
var.ably be more or less mutilated.
They have TO be both root and top
bound, and will require time to recup-
crate from this loss, and in windy To-
aclities will have to be staked-another
expense or loss of time. Now, in con.
clusion, if anyone having no expert
ence with Oneyear-old trees will give
them test, l doubt not he will be like
myself, prefer this age to any other.

Sleep in Orchards.

Persons who pasture sheep In their
orchards do not, as rule, use enough
sheep to do the most good. The sheep
can add nothing to the land but what
they take from it, but If large num-
Der, say fifty, are put in eight acres of
trees seeded with orchard grass, and
are fed little bran, say about one
pound day to each sheep, something
like 134 pounds of nitrogen, 164 pounds
Of phosphate acid and Sc pounds Of
potash would be distributed during
the season over the ground in the best
possible way, while the sheep would
keep down every weed and sprout,
gnaw the grass close and eat every
fallen apple as soon as it strikes the
ground.-Rural New-Yorker.

Farm Hints.

| made a mistake when began farm
ing, writes a contributor to HCard's
Dairyman, by not locating the pnIma
nent pasture where a part of it would
adjOin the barnyard. This mistake
caused me to walk many miles yearly
to and from the pasture gate. which
was about 100 yards from the barn.
Last year l fenced each side of 80
foot strip from pasture TO yard, and
this saves the daily walks after the
COWS. By kindness and good care the
COWS can soon be taught to come TO the
yard gate every evening. Plowed un.
der heavy growth of rye the latter
part of May, "a, on one-half acre. Har-
rowed fine and planted to beans. Dry
weather set in, and half the beans fail
to terminate. The thick layer of rye
underneath made land so loose 1t dried
out easily. l should have used a heavy
loaded roller before and after harrow
ing, to make the land firm.

The Value of Minutes.

A party of ladies and gentlemen were
lately visiting Il large carpet factory,
and the manager took them over the
different floors of the establishment.
On ascending one of the StaircaSeS
they came to locked door. on which
the following inscription was painted
in white letters:
strangers not admitted under any
circumstances"
The curiosity Of the ladies was eX-
cited to a high pitch. and they inquired,
almost in one breath, Whatever is to
be seen above?"
THAT is one of our workrooms, i'll
which $50 women are employed in en-
broidering carpets" answered the man
ager.
'Oh. how we should just like to have
n peep at them exclaimed the ladies.
Il am sorry | cannot comply. with
your wish" said the gentleman, with
Il shrug of his shoulders. but our rules
do not admit of the slightest exception.
Truth TO say, and there is nothing spe-
cial to be seen, nor Is there any ques-
ton of trade secrets. The reason why
admission is forbidden TO strangers is
simply because every woman naturally
locks up and her attention is distracted
from her work for from one TO five
minutes. Surprising. now, each wonI-
an wastes a couple of minutes in this
way, that VIII make in the case of 80
women loss to the firm of 800 mill

SubduinU the Needs.

Any species of weeds can be subdued
and controlled within the limits of an
ordinary farm, and. unless the value
of the land is low from other causes,
may be profitably undertaken. If the
weed is an annual, reproducing itself
from the seeds only, it may be subject
ed by preventing seed production. For
permanent pastures, lawns and road
sides this is quite sufficient, il persist
emily followed. In cultivated fields the
over to destroy as many as possible of
the seeds on the surface. i may then
be plOwed shallow, so rs not to bury
the remaining seeds too deeply in the
soil. The succeeding cultivation, not
deeper than the blowing, will induce
the termination of seeds In this layer
of SOIL and kill the seedlings as they
appear. The land may then be plowed
deeper and the cultivation repeated,
until tie weed seeds are pretty thor
oughly cleared out to as great n depth
as the plOw ever reaches. Below that
depth, eight to ten inches, very few
weed seeds can terminate and push a
shoot to the surface A thousand seed
lings can be destroyed by the cultiva-
tor with less effort than n single ma
ture plant can be destroyed, and every
Seeding killed means one less weed

"A Slight Mistake.

A gentleman who has recently re-
turned from England regales a report
er with this bit of gossip: There was
an Englishmen who prided himself
upon his ability as an amateur plumber.
He decided to put gas connections into
his house, and do it himself. He went
to work with great flourish; hammer,
ed and soldered and fitted away, and
at last came the final hour of triumph.
He called the family into the parlor,
beneath the great chandelier. He turn
ed on the taps, with taper in hand
and vigorous showers of water gushed
forth over them all. He had made the
mistake of connecting with the water,
pipe instead of the gas-pipes."

She Had Her Revenge.

A newly married couple on the train
the other day attracted Il good deal Of
attention by their peculiar behavior.
A lady got on the train at station and
took seat in front of them. Scarcely
was she seated before they commenced
making remarks in loud whispers about
her wearing last seasons hat and dress.
She was severely criticised by them
for some moments. Presently the lady
turned around. She noticed at a glance
that the bride was older than the
groom, and without the least resent
ment in her countenance, she said:
Madam, will you please have your
son close the window behind YOU:
The son closed his mouth instead.
and the madam did not giggle again
until the brakeman hollered out 'Lula!'

The Care of Farm Machines.

To get the most out of q machine care
must be taken to keep clean. Dust in
the journals or working parts increas-
es the wear very materially. Another
thing about which care should be
taken Is not TO strain q machine. A
light wagon is not intended for heavy
loads, neither is light plow intended
for deep, heavy blowing. Select ma
chinery, advises the Farmers Home,
adapted to the kind of work required
for 1t, and do not expect that it will do
all that is to be done. Whenever n
machine of any kind is working under
a strain heavier than it was intended
to do, there is an increased wear Our
rule is to bring an implement to the
machine shed whenever the task for
which it was taken out is completed,
although we are aware that it will be
needed again in a few days. In this
way much exposure to storms and sun
is aToided. and then when it is needed
we know just where to find it, and no
time need be lost. Then the machine
is always in better condition for use,
and this is often no inconSiderable
item.

Milk for Chickens.

Milk contains everything necessary
to the growth of chickens. Skim milk,
If mixed with meal, is equal to fresh
milk, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
Curd, made by heating soured milk,
and draining off the whey, Is also a
good food, but should be slightly salt
ed, as If for the human palate. The
whey may be heated to Scalding and
thickened with meal. Add to this
dough a small quantity of dripping or
lard, salt to taste, and bake in a slow
oven. Or, instead Of separating the
curd from the whey, mix all together,
thicken the meal, add shortening and
salt, then bake slowly for a long time.
To make chickens grow there is moth

HISTORICAL RELIC.
Links from the Chain Which Barred
the River at West Point.


No visitor to West Point fails to no.
tice the few links of the iron chain that
lie around the monument up near the
hotel. They are the remains of the
great chain which was stretched across
the Hudson river during the Revolu-
ton. to prevent British warships from
sailing past the forts and landing an
army or marauding parties. Few peo-
pie know that just above the entrance
10 Tuxedo Park, on the east side of the
railroad track. are the ruins Of the
building in which that chain was made.
They are known rs the old Augusta
forge. The western gable and the south
wall are all that are standing. 1t was
pever anything but Il low stone build
ing, few feet square. and built by a
rOUntry mason. 1t was called forge
because there iron was reduced from
The ore by the old-fashioned charcoal
method. and its counterparts were com
mon all over the country within the last
half century. 1t was owned by the
sterling Iron Mine Company. one Of the
large iron manufacturers of the day.
Here was reduced the iron taken from
ihc nine. four miles west. and the links
hammered out by hand.
When it became apparent to the Con
tinental War Department that Il chain
was necessary to prevent vessels going
above the neutral ground. Secretary
Pickering consulted Mr.. Townsend, one
of the iron kings of the day and an own
er of the mine and shortly after Gen.
Putnam gave an order for the chain.
in less than six weeks the links were
delivered to the army engineer at New
Wins0r just west of Newburg, ready 10
put together. The carting was done by
The neighboring farmers with their OK
teams. The links were feet long and
"a inches square. each weighing about
100 pounds. When put together the
chain had a swivel at every hundred
feet 1t was about 1 800 feet long and
weighed $50 tons. 1t was buOyed up
ny 16-foOt logs, pointed at each end, so
as 70 offer as little resistance 10 the tides
as possible. 1t was put in place in ITS.
The part which is preserved was fished
up from the bottom of the river in 1855.
out the greater part was sold for old
ron to the West Point foundry years
before.
