The grateful acid of the rhubarb leaf
arises from the malic acid and binoG-
alate of potash which it contains; the
acidity Of the lemon, orange, and other
species OF the genus Citrus, is caused
by the abundance Of citric acid which
their juice contains; that Of the cherry,
plum, apple, and pear from the malic
acid in their pulp; that of gooseberries
and currants, black, red and white,
from a mixture of malic and CitriC
acids; that of the grape from mixture
of malic and tartaric acids; that of the
mango from citric acid and very flu
gitive essential oil; that of the tama
rind from mixture of citric, malic,
and tartaric acids; the flavor of aspar-
agus from aspartic acid, found also in
the root of the marshmallow, and that
of the cucumber from a peculiar poi
sonOus ingredient called fungin, which
is found in all fungi, and is the cause

and 8 per cent of inulin "a variety of

roots should lie equally divided as near

the roots has much to do with the
growth and beauty of the tree. II the
roots are thrust into the ground
cramped, crooked, and without proper
care, the trees will grow in like man

When the trees are placed in the hole

winds will soon bring the tree up to
perpendicular position, for if you Will
take the trouble to examine the orch
ards around you, you will find nearly
all the trees leaning to the east. This

culture.

ence more marked than in its mode CT
| attacking the plant and in this facc lie
valuable hints to the cultiyator. 1t
has been assumed that because the
smut of wheat and oats can be pre-
vented by immersing the seed in hot
water or solution of some fungicide,
the same method is applicable to corn
| But it is not true and for the reason
| that the method by which the corn
smut attacks the plant is very unlike
that of most of the other cereal smuts.
1t has been found out at the Indiana
Experiment Station that the smut does
not attack the plant through the seed,
but like wheat rust it starts in the
leaves and stems, wherever the spores
are carried by the wind and find lodg-
ment and sufficient moisture to enable
them to terminate. The spores will
GLOW 5. soon as Line is As. soon
as the mass containing them turns
black, and they will also retain tEelr
vitality for year or two in case con-
ditions for growth are not faHnr23 " 49,
1t is evident from this that neither
the time of planting nor the previous
condition or treatment of the seed will
have any effect upon the amount OF
smut in the crop; and experiments al
ready carried out substantiate his de-
duction. 1t is equally evident that me
neurological conditions will have de-
cided influence. But the farmer cannot
control the weather.
Two things can be done to decrease
smut in corn. The growing crop can
be sprayed with suitable furgicide
and the entrance of the smut into the
plant prevented. That this can be
made effective is shown by the expert
ments of the Indiana station. But it
is an expensive and troublesome
method. The other, more convenient
but less thorough method, is to gath
er and destroy the smut, and thus
eventually rid the fields of it.
The best time to gather the smut is
just before the ears silk, when the
fields should all be gone through and
every sign of smut removed, being
careful not to scatter it upon the
ground, or in any way let the spores
get free. The gatherings must be
burned or deeply buried to certainly
destroy the smut. One or more later
gatherings should also be made. This
may be called clean culture, and if
persisted in for few years would re-
duce the annual production of smut
to an inconspicuous and harmless
amount. ]. c. Arthur, Botanist.

Some of our neighbors have been
growing cucumbers in new way for
the last year or two, and as their sue
cess with them has been so wonderful,
I will give their way for the benefit of
others. A spot about four feet square
is first spaded up and well MANFRED; q
half barrel with the head knocked out
is then set in the middle Of the spot,
not pushed down into the soil, but SIM
ply resting on the surface. The barrel
is filled nearly full of we'll rotted ma
nure. The loose earth is drawn up
slightly all around the edge of the bar
rel and the seed is planted there in
the ground. Every day pailful or
two of water is poured into the barrel,
and it soaks slowly through the manure
until it reaches the soil where the seeds
are. The surface being followed allows
the water to reach the roots of the
cucumber more readily, and the ma
nure in the water makes them grow
so fast that the striped squash bugs
have little effect on them.-Bernice Ba-
ker, in Vick's Magazine.

Soil Protection in Winter-One ma

garden plants, in winter-that is, the
soil.g Ard it is one of the best materi-
ais, and for very many plants all that is
needed. II can be drawn up around
them, and over them, if needed, and
thus secure them against injury. The
ground often freezes two feet deep in
our northern climates, and thus must
at the same time freeze the roots of
many plants, but as they thaw slowly
and gradually, on account of the sur
rounding soil, they remain uninjured.
Use the soil for protection wherever it
can lie employed TO advantage.-Ex.
