Leg weakness is a condition which
chicks can easily be brought to both by
too strong bottom heat in the brooders
and by too much meat.
Broilers weigh from l 1a to 2 pounds
in weight, and it takes from l2 to IA
weeks to gain that weight. The cross Of
Plymouth Rock ON White Langshan
would make good roasting fowls.
We know of no breed that will lay
more eggs than the Brown Leghorn,
unless the new Campines will reduce
their record, but that remains to bt
seen, A Leghorn pullet is pretty wei
matured at months of age.

Experiments with OAts.

In 1894 at the Illinois station the
largest yields Of oats were made by Tex
as Rust Proof, Lincoln, Texas Red,
New Dakota Gray, Calgary Gray and
New Red Rust Proof oats. AS an aver
age of five years Pringle Progress gave
the largest yield, followed by Texas
Rust Proof. New Dakota Gray, New
Red Rust Proof, American Banner and

Rolling the plots after the seed was
pwn appeared to be without effect.

Handling and shipplnr Fruit.

The improvements in fruit handling
and shipping are Of such Importance as
to merit more than casual mention.
Carbonio acid refrigerating is now con-
testing actively for the precedence over
iced cars, avoiding delay, and, it is
claimed, reducing the expense. Steriliz-
ing, to prevent decay, is another claim
ant for the public attention and if sue
cessful, as in other directions, might
work q great benefit. The advantages Of
extending the market can hardly be
oyerestimated

GRATED TREES AND PLANTS.
Treatment OF Sprouts That Grow From the
Trunks and Stems.

Trunks and Stems.
Many varieties Of weeping trees are
grated on stems, five or six feet in
height. The first year the gratis will
push ont more weakly than they will in
future years, when they gain more
strength. In the meantime sprouts are
very apt to come out from the stem on
which the weeping varieties have been
grated. A practical man will strip these
sprouts off, because he well understands
that il allowed to grow they rob the
graft of its proper nutrition.
There is no surer way to have graft
destroyed than to let the sprouts from
the trunk grow as they will 1t is the
same in vegetation as some philosophers
say is true of their hves-that "the rich
get richer, and the poor can get poorer, |"
when they once start in those several
directions. Certainly shoot which once
gets to be q little stronger than the 9TH
ers eventually draws nearly all the nu-
triton to itself, and yet it is Of great
service to have foliage along the stem
because the sap cannot be drawn mp
without there are leaves actively en-
gagged in the process. Instead, therefore,
Of pulling out the sprouts altogether, the
wisest plan is to pinch out the apex OF
points Of these growing shoots, 80 as tc
prevent them from becoming very
strong. In the fall, then, they may be
cut off altogether.
A good illustration Of the danger Of
allowing strong sprouts to grow from
the stems of grated plants is seen in the
rose. These are frequently grated on 6
variety named Manetti. If the grated
part is very strong, it will easily sustain
itself, but if there is any tendency tC
weakness strong shoot, or, as it is offer
called, sucker" will sprout from the
stock near the ground When this is thu
case, it soon draws all the nutrition X
itself, and the graft dies. The good ros'
grower is continually on the lookout Il
cut away sprouts which may come ou
from the stock, says Meehan's Monthly
authority for the foregoing.

The Polyantha Roses.

The foliage and flowers of the poly
antha roses are both small The flow
ers are produced in panicles. Having
been crossed or hybridized with teas and
other kinds, list of valuable sorts has
resulted, and they are at least as hardy
as the hardest of the teas. OF slender
growth and everblooming character, they
are becoming great favorites A few Of
them are: Little Pet, Paquerette, Cecile
Drummer and Clothilde Soupert. The last
named is especially fine.

Cutting POTATO Seed.

We do not approve of using small po-
tatoes for seed. Neither do we approve
of using one eye pieces. 1t seems to us
that what is needed is to give the start
ing shoots sufficient nouishment from
the seed pieces until the shoots, through
their own rootlets, can support them
selves. Just why we oppose the use OF
small potatoes for seed we cannot say,
further than that we have uniformly OBJ
tanned smaller crops from their use than
from large potatoes cut to two or three
ewes or more Rural New Yorker.

MARsHIP FOR FLORIDA COAST.
The Raleigh Ordered to- Prevent En-
pe,IitiOns 10 Cuba.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June lO.-Oih-
Gals of the State and Navy departments
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY of send
ing a warship TO guard the Florida coast
TO prevent the filibustering expeditions
from leaving the United States for Cuba,
but an embarrassing question has arisen
TO prevent immediate action. BY ordering
a vessel to that point OF the coast-line
II is feared that this government may
place itself In position to be held re-
sponsible by Spain for neglect in not doing
so before. Such action, 1t Is commended,
would be vrtua | Acknowledgement
that the United States have failed TO DO
their duty toward the Spanish Govern
ment, with which they are on friendly
relations. 1t also is feared that even II
Spain did waive the right TO claim
damages for previous neglect by this
country embarrassment would likely
arise II any fiibustering expeditions sue
ceeded In evading the patrol.
AS the matter stands, the officials OF
the State and Navy departments think II
is best TO go slowly, trusting in the mean
time TO increase its vigilance on the part
of the revenue-cuttet service of the Urea
sury Department.
Late this afternoon Secretary Herbert
settled all doubt as to the course to b'
taken by this government by issuing
orders to the Raleigh to proceed at once
10 Key West, Fla. She will be retained
there TO watch for flibusterers, and Sc.
that 10 more expeditions leave this coun
try for Cuba with contraband or men for
the insurgents.
