Items In Tile Drainage.

The reason why a cylinder form is
best In tile is that the water may be
heaviest at the lowest point through its
entire length, and so dislodge and wash
out any sediment that would otherwise
lodge. And where stone or plank drains
are made form the bottom narrower than
the top for the same purpose A drain
that is filed with silt is worthless. A
V shaped drain will do the best and
longest service An A shaped drain
lets little stream meander first to one
side and to the other and soon fills up

Journal.

POTATOES FROM SPROUTS.

The question, Can potatoes propagat-

ing method be relied upon for seed2 was
answered by several eastern seedsmen
in the columns of The Rural New York
or. w. w. Rawson of Boston replied
that seed potatoes grown by this method
are not as vigorous as the field grown
seed.
Peter Henderson e. Co., New York,
writes: We have never conducted q
comparative test between potatoes grown
under ordinary field culture and those
propagated by the sprouting method and
then transplanting the spouts when root.
ed, to see which product gave the most
vigorous plants and the greatest yield.
But we have grown new varieties when
we had only two or three tubers to start
from by sprouting method-i. o., we
sprouted them under heat exactly as we
would dahlia roots, and rooted the cut
tings and transplanted these in tho open
ground We have found potatoes grown
in this way to produce fine, large speci-
mems, although not many to the hill,
and from the appearance of the tubers
we would say that they are likely TO
produce as vigorous plants as potatoes
grown in the ordinary way.
W. Atlee Burpee g. Co., Philadelphia,
replied: So far as our experience goes
we do not regard seed potatoes propa-
gated by means Of the sprouting meth
cd as so vigorous or so reliable as those
grown from seed pieces under ordinary
conditions of field culture. We think
there is noticeable deterioration where
the former method is continued through
several successive generations. The ten
dency to reversion may be slight in the
first generation, but we have never seen
crop grown from sprouts or by divid-
ing the eyes that would compare with
one grown from pieces cut to one Wig.
orous eye
George w. Jerrard Of Maine said: If
the crop grown from the forced sets be
given normal conditions during the time
the tubers are developing and maturing,
so that they are matured in healthy
condition, would consider them all
right for seed purposes. If they develop.
ed and matured under the forced condi.
tion, l would doubt their good quality
for seed.

PLANTING OF ORCHARDS.
Preparing the soiI--when and How 20
Plant-Distance Apart of Trees.

Preparing the SoiI--when and How 20
Plant-Distance Apart of Trees.
The soil in which trees are set should,
as a rule be in thorough state of cul-
tivation. It is generally best to put the
land designed for All orchard into hoed
crops the previous season. There is much
difference Of opinion as to the relative
merits Of fall and spring planting. This
question must be settled by each indi-
vidual, who knows best his own sur.
roundings and conditions.
Trees are usually set too close togeth.
er Trees are wide feeders, and the best
results are obtained when each tree
stands far enough from its neighbor to
allow it to possess an individuality all
its own. Sparse planting also facilitates
spraying and better cultivation. The
distance at which trees may be set de-
pends much on the system of pruning.
If heading in is followed vigorously,
trees may be set third nearer than If
allowed to take their natural form.
Heading in should always be praoticed
with dwarf pears, and many of our best
growers pursue it with peaches, plums
and ounces. Professor Bailey of the
Cornell IN. " station advises thin
planting and calls attention to the fol.
lowing table as representing the outside
average limit for the planting of or
chards when the trees are allowed to
take their natural form: Apples, 40 feet
each way; pears, standard. 30 to 25
feet; pears, dwarf, 12 feet to rod;
ounces, rod; peaches, 20 feet; plums,
20 feet; apricots, 20 feet.

hints on tho planting of trees in bul.

land and fit it we'll AS all orchards

The Investigations of individuals and

attacking peach trees of all ages and in

those branches of affected trees which
do not yet show any signs of the yell

expected to propagate the disease.

Have you sown your ohrysanthemum

The months Of February and March
and the first half of April are best for
roofing cuttings of many florists plants,
such as carnations, roses, chrysantbG-

Tubrous begonias may be potted and

Hybrid perpetuals and hybrid teas
in pots can be started into growth and
cuttings put in, the most thrifty wood

Animal Worship,

II is Relieved that among all prim-
itiVs people, both ancient and mod
ern, certain classes of animals, if
not all, were and are supposed to be
endowed with souls or spirits. A
large portion of these people are of
the opinion that these souls and
spirits really belong to deceased
human beings, and in all such cases
the animal, whether it be hog,
snake or monkey, is accorded a spe-
cies of heathenish worship. Among
modern nations the most civilized
people who still adhere to animal
worship are the devotees of Brah-
manism. To them the sacred cow is
a deity in every sense of the word,
and the great silva is incarnate in
Hoonoomaun, the monkey god. Per-
haps no creature has been more
widely worshiped than the horrid
serpent. Such worship had it's place
in Egypt, Palestine, Greece, Rome,
among the Celts and Scandinavians,
in Persia, India, China and Tibet, on
this continent in both Mexico and
Alaska. In South America there was
form of serpent worship in Peru
and also in the Pacific islands adjoin.
ing. Similar rites were performed
in Java and Ceylon. It exists today
in Fiji and Oceanica in general and
is the state religion in Dahomey,
Africa. One sect of Christians, the
Ophites, blend serpent worship along
with more pure and exalted cere-
moaies.-St. Louis Republic.
