ORCHARD AND GARDEN.


Any soil that is too damp naturally
to produce healthy trees should be
avoided.
Vacant places in young orchard ca4
be filled with trees, but not so with an
cid one.
Early potatoes, pease, onions and let
tuce are the first crops to be put into
the ground.
If only well-rotted and thoroughly
fined manure is used the garden can
hardly be made too rich.
Lime is one of the best materials to
apply to get rid of the white grub in
the strawberry beds.
Wood ashes and poultry manure make
the best fertilizers for onions. They
can both be used as top dressing.
1t is a good plan as well as an inter
esting experiment to try few new
varieties every year on small scale.
When onions are to be raised from
seed all reasonable care should be taken
to sow the seed at the first opportunity.
Strawberry. Jlants that are well
mulched are least affected by sudden
change of %eather. The mulch also
prevents the plants from beginning to
grow too early in the season and lessons
the risk Of their getting killed by late
frosts.-St. Louis Republic.

sAvAeEs REsT STANDING.
0ad Attitudes Assumed in DiRerent
Countries.

tDCd Attitudes Assumed in Different
Countries.
Men who do not sit have two atti-
tudes for resting; women use one of
their own. Squatting ION the heels
is favored in India and China. In this
position the weight of the body falls
upon the toes, and to keep the balance
comfortable the arms must lie over the
knees, the hands dangling. A Eu-
ropean trussed in this manner promptly
feels a pain in his calves, but he can
understand that habit makes it rest
full position. In fact, Golfers use it.
There is a legend current in North
Staffordshire referring to the embodi-
naent of militia or volunteers for au-
thorfties differ-early in the century.
After divers eccentric maneuvers, the
officer cried: 'Stand at easel When
his order had been explained, every man
squatted on his heels like an Indian
coolie. There is, however, a mode of
resting practiced by some Jungle tribes
which is utterly incomprehensible. Be
ing fatigued, these people stand on one
leg and curl the foot of the other round
the calf. The same extraordinary Gus
tom is seen In Africa.
We ask in bewilderment, why on
earth they do not lie down, or at least
squat? 1t may be hazarded as mere
conjecture, without any pretense of JUS
LITIGATION, that they or their forefathers
dwelt in swamps especially malarious.
But the custom shows what unnatural
usages men will devise before it occurs
to them to sit down ''like Christians"
The cross-legged attitude is general
from Siam eastward through the Malay
countries. In the jungle you will see
b man crouch, the knees raised, the
arms folded over them and the chin
resting on the arms. Some tribes, as
the Dyaks, carry a mat dangling be-
hind as part OF their ordinary costume
to shield them from THE damp soil. But
seldom, indeed, will man sit upon a
log or root, though there be plenty
around. The idea does not enter his
mind. More rarely still, il that be pos
sible, will you observe him squatting.
Women always crouch, upon the floor,
of course, with the knees bent sideways,
thus resting on the outer part of one
thigh; mighty uncomfortable posture,
as it seems to us!
It may be assumed therefore, that
sitting down is an acquired habit. Ii
any savages practice it-as convent
ence simply have neither seen nor
heard of them. But we are all con-
WINGED nowadays that the ideas and
usages of the natural man were every
where much alike in that stage of de-
velopment. If SO, it follows that the
inhabitants of Europe squatted, or
stood on one leg, or, at least, did not sit.

WONDERFUL WATER SUPPLY.
A Szhterranean River That Flows
Toward Los Angeles.

A Szhterranean River That Flows
Toward Los Angeles.
IN .hs San Fernando valley, ten or
eleven miles north of the city of Los
Angeles, exists water supply which is
termed marvellous by those who have
examined it. In an alfalfa field, oozing
from the ground, come drops of pure,
fresh water, which, under Development
and by collection, increase within
mile to mighty stream, flowing 7,O0o,-
900 gallons every "a hours. The water
is neither artesian nor spring in char
acter. 1t has long been tradition in
the arid district adjacent to the old
San Fernando mission that subter-
ranean stream flowed from the distant
Sierra, but it is only recently that par
tial yerifcation has been given to this
local belief.
Below stratum of 20 feet of light
soil mass of very coarse gravel bearing
water is found. Its depth is from 81 to
IS feet, and it rests upon hard, blue
clay that holds the water. For mile a
fiume has been constructed. This ditch
is six feet wide and four feet deep
Built through the coarse gravel, the
water percolates from all sides into the
duct, and steadily increases in volume
until the daily flow is claimed to be
100000 gallons. Thus far the water
has been conducted through 30-inch
pipe for distance Of seven miles to-
ward Les Angeles. At some points upon
the line it furnishes water for irriga-
ton. The ultimate intention of the
owners is to supply the water solely for
domestic purposes in West Los Angeles,
where they have franchises for laying
mains, and to the soldiers home Of
1000 inmates at Santa Monica, under
contract with the United States govern
ment. AT present much OF the water
Is going to waste, as it cannot all be
used. Some of it is turned into the
river, but the supply is at present a
source of danger, owing to its album
dance.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Bots do not often kill horses. That is
delusion of old times without founda-

they do not eat through the stomach,

Lice upon live stock appear to be par
ticularly pestiferous this spring. We
have never found anything better than
the old fashioned way of painting along
the animals backbone with mercurial

fresh and strong, will do the business
