AIsike Hay.

Alsike clover has generally more
spindling growth than the common red
variety. 1t is therefore better hay for
sheep and young stock, which will
sometimes reject the coarse stems Of
clover that has grown too rank and
has fallen to the ground. The Alsike
clover is little likely to do this. But
the plants grow so closely together that
the stems make nearly, or quite as much
feed, and generally Of better quality.

oEooET,c TOWERS.



Brown County. and Its sisters, Cler-
mont and Adams Counties, Ohio, have
within their borders three towers. the
erection OF which, with the surveying.
the building and experiments, occupied
twelve years OF time, and cost $3.50, 900.
The first tower was erected about three
miles from Bethel, Clermont County,
on the plateau. The land through the
southern part of Ohio is several hun
dred feet higher than the river. This
tower WAS 1856 feet high, and was ar
ranged with an Interior stairway, lead
ing to the platform on top OF the struc-
ture. The tower was not expensive,
so far as material was concerned, but
was costly, because the hauling and the
dressing of the timber required much
expenditure. The second tower was
built on Ash ridge. in Brown County,

Peach Culture in Cold Climates.

IcuCn III Noiu
Webb Donnell stated recently that
lit Is not the severe cold Of winter
which Injuries peach trees SO much as
freezing after the sap has begun to
stir i'm the spring." believe, says b.
Il. Ferris, in the Agriculturist, IL this
were the case Southern Missouri trees
would be as liable to injury as those
from Northern Iowa. If not, why not?
All fruit trees in Missouri have to pass
through as much freezing as those in
Iowa, and there is rs much or more
thawing and freezing following mild
winter as there Is after a severe one.
Still, our fruit trees are in better con-
dition after mild winter than after a
cold one. Iowa is now raising many
peaches, not because we have had less
severe changes during late years, but
because varieties have been produced
which will stand more severe cold
weather, and further because of late
our winters have been mild. Sunscald
may be caused by n sudden cold snap
after the sap has started, and l think
this is the case. But black-hearted
trees are caused by low temperatures
in midwinter.

Di1estibility of Apples.

There is great difference in the digesti-
bility Of different kinds Of apples. Some
are very rich with hard and solid pulp,
while others are juicy and digest easily.
The Spitzenberg apple has very fine
flavor, but it cannot be eaten by some
who can eat at will of varieties like the
Fameuse. Most of the sweet apples
are hard to digest. Even when cooked
they are tough and do not break down
as sour apples will.

ually much tougher wood than trees Of
the same variety that grew up in the
original forest. Exposure to sunlight
and severe winds is what toughens the
fibers Of such trees. Oaks and hickories

valuedfor their toughness. 1t will pay
farmers who have such timber to make
inquiries, and with little trouble they
can probably find good market for 1t.

Boston MARKET Women.

It's the fashion among aristocratic
Boston women to do their own mar
keting. When one OF these intellect
nal young persons was asked what she
did to occupy her days she replied,
rather haughtily: "Why, study and
60 to market" She is "co-ed" at the
Harvard annex, but finds time, it
seems, to go to Quincy Market twice
a week for the household supplies.
All the smart set of Boston go to
Quincy Market Most Of the women
manage to get along with one days
marketing, however Friday aud
Saturday mornings the market is
particularly interesting. Gay car
riages, drawn by prancing horses,
with ligeried attendants, stand in
waiting while the ladies visit the stalls
within. They come down town on
purpose every day, these ladies of the
leisure class, to select the family din
ner, but on Friday and Saturday they
turn out in large numbers, a sort of
aristocratic beetsteak buying picnic,
so to speak. Some of them have lists
kept in dainty leather and gold note
books, which they consult and will
not diverge from in the minutest de-
tail. They seem to take special de-
light in throwing off the convention
Olities for brief time, and in brows-
ing about in a homely way, among the
green strings and juicy meats, just like
any ordinary little housewife with her
husbands wages in a battered purse.
