During a recent cold snap in Florida,
an orange-grower named Felt saved
MS trees and fruit by spraying them
with water. When he found the Their
mometer Z degrees below the freezing
point, he took his spraying apparatus
into the grove and turned fine mist
upon the trees, which froze as quick as
1t struck them. The mist was kept
playing upon each tree till it was COM
pletely encased in ice from the ground
up, appearing like an Ice statue, SO firm
that 1t could not be shaken. The wealth
did not moderate enough to thaw them
out till the fourth day, but when the
warm sun came out and caused the ice
to gradually rot and drop off, not a leaf
Wilted.
Commenting on this, DR.. A. M. Rag
land, the noted horticultural Of Pilot
Point, Texas, says sleet in April,
many years ago, completely enveloped
young plums and peaches as large as
marbles, in North Texas, without in
juring either the fruit or leaves. The
coating of ice stops evaporation, and
retains within the cells all heat gen.

the results Of elaborate experiments
with means of preventing two insects
very Injurious to apple trees, and de-
scribes cheap and efficient methods Of
combating them.
The insect known as the apple leaf
folder may be readily killed by thor
oughly spraying infected trees or nur-
sery stock just as soon as the young
insects begin to hatch, and before they
have had time to fold the leaves to
any considerable extent. This spray
ing should be done just as the apple
tree leaves are unfolding. The spray
ing mixture should be made as fol-
lows: One pound Of Paris green, three
pounds Of fresh lime, $50 gallons OF
water. Since there are three broods OF
this insect each year, there are three
periods during which spraying can be
most successfully done.
The leaf crumpler, another insect
very injurious to apple trees, may be
readily killed by thoroughly spraying
the infected trees while the leaves are
unfolding and before the blossoms
open, with the same mixture as rec
commended above. II necessary, the
trees may be sprayed again immediate
ly after all the blossoms have fallen,
but in this case the amount Of water
in the mixture should be increased to
IFS gallons.
Never spray a fruit tree while 1t Is
in blossom; serious injury to the bios
som and imperfect pollination may
result, and In many instances honey
bees will be killed. Never omit the
fresh lime, and always use two or
three times as much lime by weight
as Paris green. This will lessen the
chances Of burning the leaves and In
juring the trees. Spray with a mix
ture OF the strength just given. To
make 1t weaker is to render 1t less et-
fective in killing insects; to make 1t
stronger Is to injure the foliage Of the
trees. Always see that the mixture
Is kept constantly stirred while spray
ing. Apply with as much force as pos
sible, and use as fine spray as can
be made. Spray thoroughly. Hold
the spray on the tree long enough to
saturate 1t and to reach all parts, and
always spray from at least two sides.

the farmers, and may be had by writ

growth OF all planLs, anu tn~'
nearly all agricultural soils con-
tain a sufficient supply Of all except
three Of these, to be practically mex
haustible. These three are nitrogen
phosphoric acid and potash. The farm
ers Of New York are already paying
annually five million dollars for these
three elements in the form Of CONNER
cial fertilizers, paying IL cents per
pound for nitrogen, Az cents a pound
for phosphoric acid, and Az cents
pound for potash. Inasmuch
as two different plants do not require
elements of fertility in the same pro
portion, proper rotation Of crops VIII
aid in conserving the hidden treasures
Of the soil. A careful attention to tne
analysis Of the crop that we are SELL
Ing Is also Of the utmost Importance.
Farms in the older portions OF tine
state from which the most grain has
been sold present sad contrast to ad-
Joining farms where stock growing
or dairying has been the leading IN
dustry, and upon which the products
Of the farm have been more largely
fed. 1t would seem that so
long as we can purchase bran or lin
seed meal from Minnesota and the Da-
kctas, or cotton seed products from the
south, and can get first cost or more
in the milk pail or from stock grown,
1t would be wiser for us to add this
fertility to our farms than to see 1t go
to enrich the lands Of Europe. Men
still leave manure in the yard all sum-
mer to rot, knowing full we'll that they
are losing the use Of 1t for a year, and
that even when piled in the most APP
proved form, it will, on the average,
lose more than half its value II al
lowed to remain there six months In
the summer season. If spread out
over the surface Of the yard the loss
would be even greater. While the loss
from these piles has been ascertained
from carefully tried experiments, it
seems incomprehensible to the major
ity of farmers, il not really incredi-
,DAes we oil ESCO6ulIo IhO NAAAOAS
in strength between leached and un-
leached ashes, and we might make the
same contrast between leached and un-
leached barnyard manure Some farm
ers have recognized these facts and
have made provisions for saving these
teachings, which are the most avail
able, If not the most valuable portion.
They have dug cellars under their sta
bles with water-tight floors. This is an
excellent place for the storage of the
manure, but the fumes arising from this
decaying vegetation fill the atmosphere
with impurities and permeate the hay
loft and the meal bin, rendering the
feed unwholesome. Covered barnyards
have been advocated by some Of our
eastern farmers, but are expensive.
Sheds large enough for few months
accumulations might be practicable,
but as manure never gains anything
by age, except in solubility, I believe
the better way is to take it to the field
as directly from the stable as conVen-
lent and spread out at once.

rollers will not fall out and get lost.
In order to avoid the Mccormick pa
tent the other harvesting machine COM
pany who claims to be the originator Of
roller bearings in harvesters has cut
out the metal in the ring at the ends OF
the rollers. II the cage is taken out
the rollers slip out and become filed
with grit, or worse, get lost. The
methods of the Mccormick Company
result in an annual saving of many
thousands of dollars to the farming
rRblic. New devices are not embodied
in their machines until long and Oft
repeated trials have shown them to be
practical. 1t has been the same with
roller bearings as with everything else
Mccormick experimenting is done at
Mccormick expense.

is, with the heads towards his LETT
hand; hence, in making the tuck he
showed the ends under the band toward
the heads. Grain is handled by the
shocker by grasping into the heads, as
shown In the illustration, and the tuck
should therefore be toward the heads,
so that It will not pull out.
The applications of roller bearings to
grain cutting machinery was made by
]. G. Perry in 1869, and his patent, No.
Sc, 584, for an improved reaper, showed
and described various ways Of using
roller and ball bearings in harvesters.
UnQuestionably the most practical and
satisfactory applications OF roller bear
ings to binders and mowers has been
made by the Mccormick Harvesting
Machine Company. The Particular form
used by them was patented in 1882 and
is now to be found in all Mccormick
machines The especially valuable fea-
ture Of the Mccormick roller bearing

Giant KnOtwood or sachnllno.
PoIygonum sachalInense.l

(POlyg0num SacnallnenSe.)
This is a hardy herbaceous peren-
NAL, six to twelve feet high, with
strong, extensively creeping root
stocks. The plant is a native of an
island off the Siberian coast where it
grows along moist river banks. It was
introduced into England about 1870
and has been quite generally cultivated
in the botanical gardens Of Europe.
At time of great drought in France
in 1893 it was discovered that cattle
would eat the leaves and tender
branches of this plant and a member
of the French Academy presented
paper suggesting that it might prove
a valuable addition to the list Of fod-
der plants. This seems to be the first
intimation that sachaline had any for
age value, but the idea was at once
taken up by others, and the hardness,
the rapid growth and other qualities
Of the plant were extolled and en-
larged upon by interested parties.
Within the past year or so most ex-
travagant accounts OF the value OF
sachaline for forage have appeared in
American papers and seed catalogues.
All who have had experience with the
plant advise caution in its introduce
ton because Of its very strong, spread
ing and persistent rootstocks. A writ
er in the Rural NEWCOMER who has
had some experience with the plant
says: "If the land will grow anything
else, do not plant It. Plant corn for
feed, not Polygonum Sachalinense un-
less you want trouble" A writer in
Burpee's Farm Annual says that the
farmers in this country will be terri
bly, disappointed II they expect to real
izo the hopes that the glowing descrip-
lions from Europe would seem to war
rant. This plant is described in Cir
ular No. Of the Division Of Botany Of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture. It is advertised in some Of
the 1897 seed catalogues. The advice
Of the Experiment Station to intend
ing purchasers is, don't.

Pruning Ounce Trees.-Quince trees
are probably less pruned than any 9TH
er variety Of fruit. The habit Of send
ing upward several shoots from the
same root is defended by some on the
theory that II the borer destroys one
of the shoots others will take It's place.
But it ls in these neglected clumps Of
trees that the borer breeds and multi
plies, until ounce growing becomes
impossible. 1t is far better to con-
fine the growth to a single stem, and
then watch for borers every June and
September, letting none escape. Many
sucker shoots will sprout up from the
roots Of ounce trees confined to one
stem. These may be transplanted, and
will soon extend the ounce orchard
to as great an extent as desired. There
will be a new crop Of plants two feet
or more high to be dug up and trans
planted every fall. 1t requires only
four to five years for these young trees
to begin to bear, and every year for
the next ten succeeding will increase
the value OF their crop. The ounce
tree is always inclined to grow too long
branches. The quality Of its fruit will
be bettered by shortening those that
are Inclined to grow most vigorously.

The wholesale eating of uncooked
rice, which is supposed to insure good
complexion, appears to be the latest
idea among fashionable women. These
unfortunate individuals, however,
would do well to bear in mind that the
result of eating raw rice is an anaemic
condition, and that the CHASTITY wit
nesses of person suffering from amaze
mia is far more being facinating or de-
Sirable to gaze upon.

In discussing the railway problem
those opposed to the companies should
bear in mind that more than seventy
dollars out Of every hundred invested
in railway property paid nothing on the
investment last year. To put the prop
osition in its simplest form, nearly
three dollars brings no returns for
every dollar that earns dividend.
1t is contended by some that the
present capitalization Is an unfair
measure of the investment because
stock-watering and similar transactions
have inflated the capital. Perhaps in
some cases this is true, but on the other
hand vast aggregates of stocks and
bonds have been wholly swept out OF
existence by foreclosures or reorganiza-
tions. The one about balances the
other.
This being the case we get down to
the present proposition, namely that
the railways have a right to reasonable
returns on the money actually invested.
This is all the shareholders ask OF the
public. And they have right to this.
The public has no right to demand that
they shall ask less. More especially is
this true when upon the future Of these
properties rests the comfort and hap
piness of a million wage earners. And
on the welfare OF these, with their four
million of dependents, depends the
prosperity Of hundreds of thousands Of
other breadwinners.

Decline in Number of Farm Animals.
The last government report on do
nestle animals, dated Feb. 20, 1897.
shows a continuation Of the decline In
number and value Of horses during
1896, the average price having got
down to S33.O7, as figured. The OH
cials and about everybody else can tell
us that such decline is due to the dis
placement Of horse power by mechan-
zeal motors, and to the fast increasing
use Of the bicycle; but said report
shows that hogs also have lost in num-
Der and value during the same time, in
deed. that the diminution in their mum
Der has been continuous since 1892 and
more rapidly since 1898. Certainly the
assertion that oyer-productlon has
caused the decline in values can not ap-
ply to swine. In fact, live stock in
general has been decreasing in number
and value also since 1892, the present
total value being 1873 per cent less than
in 1S93.-Ex.
