should be provided also a pit of suffi-
cient depth to allow the top of the
boiler to be below the flow pipes in the
greenhouse. If this is not convenient
the heating can be done without it. but
the circulation would not be as good
as if the boiler he as suggested. The
bottom OF the pit should be cemented
and be supplied with drainage.
The heating can be accomplished by
hot water heating pipes 81 inches in
diameter. running three pipes under
the back bench and two under each of
the other benches. The pipes should
be set on brick piers and have a rise to
the farther end of the house and then
drain all the way back to the boiler.

corner of the boiler house out OF the
way, and n the space in the green
house can be utilized.-F. T. Cakes, in

GARDEN AND

Cutting out is the only remedy for
peach borers.
Successful gardening depends upon
a good manure pile.
No fruit pays for judicious pruning
or thinning better than the pear.
One advantage in manuring the or
chard in the fall is that it acts as a
mulch.
Trees or plants that need protection
during the winter should have it ap-
piled now.
When the ground is frozen an inch
or two deep is the best time to mulch
Strawberries.
One advantage in mulching is that il
in a measure prevents a too early
growth in the spring.
One reason why plants do better in
the kitchen than any other room is
because of humidity in the air.
After apples have been kept n few
weeks they should be sorted over, as
some good ones will show defects later
on.
Wood ashes is n of the best rem
edies for pear trees that bear cracked
fruit. Stir the soil well and then spread
the ashes well over the surface.
When intending 10 plant an orchard
enc of the best plans of management
is to get the trees this fall and heel them
in ready for planting in the spring
In setting out peach trees, cut the
side branches to short spurs and
shorten the head severely, SO as to Sc
cure a good growth of young wood
and good root development.
Pruning "a tree when dormant tends
to impart vigor, but if done when the
tree is growing or in leaf it tends to
check growth.-St. Louis Republic.

Many a man who seemed to be dying of
consumption, and whom the doctNs pro-
nounced just as good as dead, has got we'll
and strong and hearty again by using DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This
wonderful medicine has shown the doctors
that consumption isn't always a fatal dis
ease. It can be cured if you get at the
germs of it in the blood and clear them out
thoroughly. That is what this Discovery"
does. 1t makes new blood,-healthy blood.
The germs of consumption can't exist in
healthy blood. They simply let go their
hold and are carried out of the system
then the new blood builds up new tissue,
new flesh, new power, new life. 1t carries
vitality to the lungs, the bronchial tubes and
every other part of the body.
1t cures people after cod liver oil has
failed, because their digestive organs are
too weak to digest fat-foods. The "Discov-
cry" makes the digestion strong.

given a fair trial.

Hints for Lettuce Growers

In order to maintain a regular sup
ply, paintings should be made every ten
days or so. A temperature of from 20
to so degrees at night suits lettuces.
and so as to have good results the plants
should be grown on without a check.
Solid beds would no doubt produce the
finest heads. but in private establish
ments the crop is generally grown on
benches which answer the purpose suffi-
GENTLY well. Green fly is sometimes
troublesome and must be checked be-
fore it gets Roadway, otherwise the
crop will Be destroyed; either fumigate
or lay tobacco stems between the

The TumbIeweed.

Tumbleweeds spread themselves IN q
wholesale fashion. Instead of sending
the separate seeds out into the world
with the wings or hairs to carry them,
the whole plant breaks off near the
root, when these are ripe, and goes roll
ing along the ground before the wind.
The bare s~un-scorched deserts of The
great west produce tumbleweeds. and
there are some in the prairie region.
Ii is natural that they should be most
abundant where there are no hills nor
trees to stop them in their course. But
we have one tumbleweed in the cost
the old witch grass, so-called, maybe,
because it rides the wind like an old
beldame. In September this grass
spreads its head, or p~anicle. with hair
like, purple branches, in every sandy
field. When the seeds are ripe the
plants are blown across the field, often
piling up in masses along the fences
and hedgerows. As might be expected,

a way of spreading itself, is found
