ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

The soil for the orchard cannot be too
rich.
Do not plant tree any deeper than
il grew in the nursery row.
The object in pruning the grape is to
lessen the quantity of fruit and improve
its quality.
To prevent premature falling off of
the fruit keep the tree healthy and free
from insect pests
There is no advantage in planting
tender vegetables until after all dan
ger of frost is past.
It makes little difference about the
size of the top SO long as the tree hsa
plenty of good roots.
The holes for the trees may be dug
before the trees are brought on the
ground for planting.
If there is a choice take plants of a
short stocky growth rather than such
as have luxurant branches.
A moderate pruning in the spring
will cause the fruit to fill less than on
unpruned overburdened trees.
An apple tree may fail to bear be-
cause overbearing the previous year
has overexhausted the vitality.
Whether the vines run horizontally
or upright, they should be trained as
near as possible in straight lines.
Now is good time to set out rasp-
berries and blackberries. Get the work
done before the plants start to grow.
Plant for succession in the garden IS
well as in the orchard. 1t is an item to
have good supply of fruits and vege-
tables all the season.-St. Louis Re

Valuable Agricultural Discovery.

One of my neighbors has made re-
markable discovery. year ago ne test
cd corn that had been soaked in coal
oil. in his green house, and after re-
peated experiments found that corn
soaked 30 hours would all terminate,
while a longer time caused small per
tent. of loss. Seed corn thus treated does
not swell as it would in water, and after
draining will readily run through the
planter. In tests on clover sod last
year, seed treated thus was not at all
injured by common worms or grubs,
while the seed not treated was dug UP
by squirrels, destroyed by cut worms.
etc. But the most remarkable thing of
all was that ehinch bugs let the corn
entirely alone that had been treated.
Should another year confirm the results
of this year, valuable discovery has
been made.-C. j. Norton, in Journal OF
Agriculture.

TEXAS TO THE FRONT.
Great Road Convention to BE Held at

Great Road Convention to BE Held at
Galveston, May 22.
There is one especially encouraging
feature of the good-roads movement.
1t is the activity in that direction in
regions remote from centers of popula-
ton
\ convention of delegates represent
ing the great state of Texas is to be
held in Galveston, beginning on May
%. In Arkansas state convention was
held at Little Rock in February, in
which a resolution was adopted rec
ommending constitutional amend
ment empowering county authorities
to levy special tax for carrying on
q work of general highway improve
ment. Similar steps have been taken
III several other states of the south and
west.
Another encouraging feature of the
movement is general disposition to
profit by the experience of other coun-
tries-notably of France, which has
perhaps the finest wngon-roads of any
country. Good reads are more easily
made and kept in order there than in
most countries, because of the scarcity
of forest areas, which conserve moisture
and render somewhat more difficult thu,
keeping of highways in repair. But it
is possible and we'll worth the while
to have good reads and still preserve
the desired areas of natural forest. The
time is not distant when the neglect of
either of these important interests will
be matter of general public regret,
and viii be viewed as public misf1r-
tune.-Youth's Companion.

THE TAX THAT COUNTS.

1000. 0OO, 900 tons of freight. Every year
the amount increases. Every pound of
this freight is carried and carried over
our roads and streets before it gets to
the railroads; millions of tons are
hauled in wagons and sold in the coun-
try towns and consumed by the local
buyer. Here is the farmers end of it;
hay. 54,00O.000 tons-think of hauling
54.00o,OOO loads of hay to market on
roads like that; 9Q,OOO,O0O tons of
cereals; 100000 tons OF potatoes; p
100000 tons of cotton; total, 100000
tons. not counting the mud on the
wagon wheels.
1.-THE road and the wagon are the twin
handmaidens of agriculture that at
tend the farmer on every journey to
market and they are forever at odds
with each other. If the man who sold
that wagon to the farmer had tried tc
sell that road to him, homicide would
have become a virtue; 152. 900, 900 tons of
produce; $5OO,00O,00O paid for farm inn
plements and machinery to harvest it
with; 81 100000 invested in farm
horses and mules to drag it to market.
Think of it! Think of being director
in a corporation with that amount of
business on hand, with countless mil
lions of paid-up capital invested, and
think of doing business in a mortar
bed! Think of waiting for the mud to
dry up! Sixteen million horses and
mules idle in the stables; 100000 a
day for horse feed: $2s,OCo,OoO a week.
Think of the loss of time and labor, the
dwarfed and shrunken values of our
farms, of the slack supply and good
prices, when the roads are impossible.
Think of the procession of farmers that
rush to town and glut the market in
the first days Of dry weather, and think
of the paltry prices they get when every
body is trying to sell to an overstocked

This metal was like a silver mirror

what it was. and he told me it was a
perfected instrument whose original;
construction enabled him to project his
voice from one point to another through
the medium of sunbeam. 1t enabled
him, in other words. to send sounds
along a ray of light without the aid of
an electric wire. He took the instru-
nent and put the tube to his mouth,
holding the mirror so that it caught
the sun and cast little shadow-disk of
light on the opposite wall. Then by
breathing slightly he made this shadow
increase and diminish and assume vari-
ous shapes by the action of his breath
against the mirror diaphragm.
THAT shows you." said he, show the
action of the diaphragm is carried along

shadow is on the wall and speak into
the tube you will find that the sound will
travel along the ray of light, and by
having a receiver connected with the
bottle one would be able to hear what

Is not allowed to touch the roof of Che

getting the full enjoyment of flavor,
commonly called smacking the lips, con-

tact with the roof of the mouth and the
lips. BY this act the substance to be
tasted is spread over the surface of these

How this act produces taste is not
exactly known; but we do know that
the tongue is covered with two LAYERS
OF skin, the lower one thick and filled
with nerves, and the upper one thin and
porous. The nerves in the lower skin
are the nerves of taste, and prob
ably are set into vibration by the sub
stance tasted, very much as the ex-
qulsitely sensitive nerves of the retina
are affected by light, or the nerves of the
ear by sound. At all events, the sens,
is conveyed to the brain, where we in

are not all alike. In the tip of the
tongue they are clustered together
