violet and orris sachets.
She never looks artificial: her skin 4,

She never appears otherwise than i'm.
maculate: her linen Is irrcpi oachabie.
She never betrays the fact that her
gown has placket.

J. W. Clark, professor Of horticulture
in the Missouri State Agricultural col
leGe. was called on at an institute TO
discuss fruit-growing. Being asked to
name n list OF the best apples to plant.
he said: Select such varieties MS bear
we'll, look we'll. and sell well. As n rule.
kinds that do well in the east are not
good in the west. Ben Davis. Wine
Sap, Jonathan. Smiths Cider. and
Rome Beauty are all good. but may not
nil do we'll In particular locality. We
must plant such as are adapted to our
soil and location.
Q.-Tell us how to grow an orchard.
A.-Take any good corn land. pre-
pare It rs for n crop OF corn: get good
two-year-old trees from the nearest
home nursery; plant 25 or 30 feet apart:
cultivate the land In corn or some
hoed crop II the land is rich. until the
trees come into bearing: then let the
orchard occupy the ground alone. but
continue the cultivation Of the land us
long rs apples are wanted. Set ei;he:
in the spring or fall. II In the fall.
must see to II in the spring that the
hole in the soil by the trunk. caused by
the wind swaying the tree. is not al
lowed to remain.
Q.-How can the insects troublesome
to the apple be overcome7
A.-The round-headed borer can be
kept from the trees by placing a cylin-
der Of wire netting around the base OF
each tree. The damage done by the
larvae Of the codling moth can be less
ened by spraying the trees Just after
the blossoms fall. with n solution of
paris green. one pound Of the green to
two hundred gallons Of water. A Sec
ond. and II heavy rains come, n third,
spraying should be given before tho
weight OF the apple bends the blossom,
end downward. No spraying should be
done before the blossoms fall. for fear
OF poisoning bees and honey. II toe
strong a solution Of paris green is used
1t will kill the foliage.
Q.-when is the time to prune trees
Ali to make n tree grow. prune
while It is dormant Pruning when the
tree is growing will check growth.
When setting out trees. cut back the
top to balance the roots.

Isar,,ynrd AIanurr.

In farmers bulletin issued by the
Department of Agriculture. Prof. w. n.
Beal says that barnyard manure Is
probably the most efficient means at
the disposal of the farmer to perma-
nently improve his soil. No other fer
tilizer possesses to SO great degree
the power of restoring worn soils 10
productiveness and giving them last
ing fertility. 1t accomplishes this re-
suit, however, not so much by the actu-
al fertilizing constituents which 1t sup
plies as by improving the physical
properties of the soil. increasing the
amount of humus, which is generally
deficient in worn soils, improving Its
texture and increasing its water ab-
sorbing and water aolding power. Ex-
perimcnts have shown that the innu-
ence OF manure may be perceptible
twenty years after application. ob-
servations at Rothamsted. England,
during forty years on barley nnman-
ured, manured continuously, and man
ured during the first twenty years. only
showed that there was gradual exhaus-
tion and reduction of produce with
out manure. and gradual accumu-
lation and increase Of produce with the
annual application of barIyard man
ure. But when the application was
stopped, although the effect OF the resi-
due from the previous applications was
very marked, 1t somewhat rapidly d.
minished, Notwithstanding that calcu-
lation showed an enormous accumula-
tion of nitrogen as we'll Us other con-
stituents.

Injury to Seed wh.a, In ohio.

Comparatively little OF this years
wheat crop In Ohio was threshed or
housed before the rains set in, and in
consequence the grain. which was poor
in quality to begin with. has been fur
ther injured by sprouting in the shock.
says bulletin of the Ohio experiment
station. The station is making germin-
alton tests. both with wheat grown on
the station farm and with samples
sent in from other parts of the
state. In one of these tests compari-
son was made between wheat of this
years crop. which has stood in the
shock throughout the wet spell. and
similar lots of grain grown in 1895. 1894
and 1893. The wheat was planted in
carefully prepared garden soil on
Aug. II, and warm, showery weather
followed. Within five days so per
cent of the seed OF this year had ger
minated and was growing nicely. and
three days later per cent more had
appeared above ground. The old wheat
all started little more quickly than
the new. and Just so per cent of that
planted was above ground on the fifth
day; only one more plant had appeared
on the eighth day. the percentage Of
termination on that day being 81 for
the wheat of 1893, 70 for 1894, 81 for
1895 and SO for 1896. Apparently, there

Bulletin ca of the Ohio Experiment
Station reports the results OF scrics Of
experiments made on the station farm
ut Wooster in 1895 In the treatment of
oats for the prevention OF smut. in
which II WIS shown thn; from duplicate
samples OF seed. taken from the same
sack. the untrea;cd sced produced us
high rs 40 per cent OF smuttcd heads.
while the treated seed produced a con-
sidcrabiy larger crop entirely free from
smut. These experiments have been
repeated with the same result In 1896. 4
year when the smut OF oats has been
exceptionally prevalent. II has also
been demonstrated that. with u very
slight modification. the sane treatment
will absolutely prevent the sinking
smut of wheat. and the bulletin named
gives full directions for this treatment.
both for oats and wheat. From the re-
ports which have come to tho station II
seems probable that the farmers OF
Ohio have this year lost not less than
half million dollars from oats smut

rcnpll.s of a roul brood Law.

In paper read before the wisconsin
state convention. Mr.. N. =. France
said: Perhaps this subject can as well
be answered by answering some OF the
questions l SO often hear. l am sorr!
to say there are too many keeping bees
who seem TO talk and act as if too wi5e
to learn from our valusble bee papers
or books. They ask. What is this dls-
ease? Is 1t contagious? Is it near us
Has any state foul brood law? Foul
brood is very fatal and contagious
disease. doing it3 work by killing the
bees in the grub or worm stage OF lite.
As 1t takes only few days from the
egg to the hatched bee. You can see
how short time 1t would take to de-
stroy the colony after once exposed.
This dreaded disease became serious
In Canada SO that the industry seemed
doomed: those wide-awake neighbors'
and members of the Ontario Bee-keep-
ers' Association could not be content
to give up SO valuable an industry. and
on April Z. 1890. had law passed pro-
vidinS for an inspector, and heavy
fines to any one to sell or expose any
diseased bees or appliances. VIM.
McEvoy, as inspector, has SO carefully
and thoroughly done his duty that the
disease can scarcely be found. l am
often asked. How near is the disease
% my beeyard?" AS long as the disease
IS In this country. and no law to con-
troll 1t with our mail service carrying
bees and supplies. consider we are all
in danger. A bce-keeper told me he
wanted choice Italian queen, so sent
to one of our eastern states for 1t. The
| queen with few bees came. and were
introduced with the cage as instructed.
after time he opened the hive to
find by some means the colony had foul
brood. Not being the honey harvest
season. the disease spread very fast.
causing n loss OF over 100 colonies.
California. for several years. has had
foul brood law. and their inspector
has done great good there. so that now

Of honey shipped to various places.
Colorado also has a foul brood law.
Last winter Illinois and Minnesota, and
at the same time I. as Wisconsin dele
gate, tried to get foul brood law.
Why did We fail TO get IT,? Simply be-
cause the bee-keepcrs of the state did
not do their duty. How careful We

Eating Apples at Night.-Dr. Scaris
says in the Bulletin of Pharmacy:
Everybody ought TO know that the
very bcs, thing he can do is to eat ap-
pies just before going TO bed. The apple
has remarkably cficaclous medicinal
properties. II is an excellent brain food.
because 1t has more phosphoric acid in
easily digested shape than other fruits.
II excites the action OF the liver. pro-
notes sound and healthy sleep. and
thoroughly disinfects the mouth. It
helps the kidney secretions and pre-
vents calcnIous Erowths. while IL re-
lievcs indigestion and is one of the best
preventives known for diseases of the
throat. No harm can come to even n
delicate system by the eating of ripe
and juicy apples before retiring for the
night" This is strong language from
an acknowledged authority. ard our
life experience fully fnvors the use OF
ripe fruits late In the evening. espc-
cially in winter.

In view of the le-s vigorous growth
shown at first in this test the station
would advise the use Of larger guam
tity OF seed than ordinary. 1t should
be observed that this test was made
under exceptionally favorable condi-
tions. and in unfavorable weather 1t
would be reasonable TO expect that u
larger proportion OF the seed would
