ROW OF NEST BOXES.

upper row open back or up, and are
held open by hooks and staples, the
staples being driven into the broad
board above. The upper doors will stay
closed without fastening, of course,
but the lower doors are provided with
hooks and staples. Little wooden but
tons would answer the same purpose
and are less expensive This 12-foot
double row of nests is placed length
wise of the poultry house in such a
way as to make them the partition be-
tween the main or roosting-room and
the nest room. At each end of this par
tition there is tall door frame and
screen door, the frame with pickets on
top, SO that fowls cannot fly over or
out. The object in having the upper
tier of nests sloping is to prevent the
fowls from roosting upon them. They
cannot gain foothold, and are obliged
TO be content with the regular roost-
ing arrangement of the house. The
broad board above the nests is fastened
to the door frames, and above this is
stretched a 32-inch strip of poultry net
ting to keep them from flying over this
part of the nest box arrangement into
or out of the nest room. The nest room
IS long, hall-like space three feet
wide, and is for the express use of sit
ting hens. Here are kept feed, water
grit and the dust bath for the broody
ones.
When q hen wants to sit nest and
eggs are given her, the door opening in
to the main room is shut and the door
to the nest that opens into the nest
room is left open instead, that she may
leave her nest for feed at her pleas,
ure, The arrangement is really very
complete and worth trying. The eX-
pense of such q set of 81 nests should
not be heavy, provided they were made
at home from cheap materiaL-orange

Must Be Destroyed Root and Branch TO
Get Rid of 1t.

The drawing represents common
weed belonging to the rose family. 1t
is headstalked avens (Geum Vernum)
and on account of the hooked tails of its
seeds is somewhat troublesome, cling
ing to wool or clothing. The blossom is
inconspicuous with five small yellow
petals, five re0eXed sepals and numer-
Gus pistils crowded in conical stalked
head, the stalk being at first short, but
later quite prominent. The seed or
achenia are fattened, about one-eighth
inch long; the persistent style is nearly
as long and at about two-thirds its
length from the base is bent into hook
and from this the other third abruptly
shoots out parallel to the longer part.
AS the seed natures the end of the style
drops off, leaving the longer portion
with it's hooked end. The styles are
smooth and weal1ish, SO do not cling so
obstinately to clothing as stick-tights.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

One item in renovating an old orchard
is to provide good drainage.
No fruit is more certain to give good
annual crops than the strawberry.
Generally grapes give a good return
for the land and labor required to grow
them.
Wood ashes make good fertilizer for
strawberries, raspberries, currants and
grapes.
The currant and gooseberry are
grown, probably, with less trouble than
any other small fruit.
A bent and crooked tree is always an
cyesore. The time to train them is
when they are young.
Clean up the orchard, saw and cut out
the dead branches and burn or move all
rubbish so that it will not harbor insect
pests.
Many injurious insects winter among
the dead leaves and branches. The
safest plan is to gather up and burn
them.
On warm soils the buds of fruit trees
often start early and are liable to be
nipped by frost. Mulching heavily in
the fall or early winter will largely pre-
vent this.
It is not best TO dig the hole for the
tree any deeper than the tree is to be
planted, otherwise it will stand in a
puddle of water.-St. Louis Republic.

Turkish Troops Commit Most Preacher
GUS Assault.

CANEA, April 3.-The insurgents in the
hills about TIE town of Akrotiri, on the
peninsula of that name, recently asked the
foreign admirals for permission to leave
their positions, as they desire to leave the
peninsula. The authorization was granted
and today the insurgents with their faml-
lies descended from the hills driving their
cattle before them and not suspecting any
danger
They had scarcely reached the lower
grounds when 1000 Bashi Bazouks sud-
denly fired upon them at range OF only
22O yards The Bashi Bazouks had
emerged from Canea last evening and
made their way to the neighborhood of the
insurgents position, having apparently re-
ceived information that the Christians
were about to evacuate the peninsula.
The Turkish force consisted mainly Of
refugees who had been brought to Canea
from Selma by sir Alfred Billioti, the Brit
ish consul here. After their arrival in Ca
nca they had been armed by the governor
in defiance of the promises that had been
made to the admirals. Their arms had
been taken from them when they were
compelled to evacuate Selino, but they ex-
perienced not the slightest difficulty in pro-
curing other wedpons by direction Of the
governor
The insurgents were armed, and they
soon recovered from the surprise occasjoned
by the sudden attack of the Bashi Bazouks.
They then returned the fire, whereupon
the latter returned to Canea.
As they approached the town they qui-
city deposited their arms and ammunition
in places where they would not be seen by
the foreigners here. Part Of the weapons
were placed in houses in the outskirts,
while the remainder were deposited in the
Medjies barracks.
The international forces ashore did not
take any measures to prevent the collision,
and the warships in Suda Bay did not fire
shot to check the Bashi Bazouks
The Mussulmans lost heavily in the en-
gagements. Fifty dead and wounded were
brought to Canea.

The fruiting heads bear from 10 TO 20
achenia Zone seeded).
The leaves vary in shape, the stem
leaves being lobed, with two irregular
edged stipules at the base of the petit
ole; the root leaves on long slender
stems are either like the stem leaves or
rounded, with irregular serate edges,
as if inclined to become lobed.
The plant has sprangling habit, the
long slender stems not standing erect,
but ascending obliquely, and toward the
top branching into irregular flower
panicles, as shown in the drawing. The
plant attains height of one to three
feet, and often covers considerable
patches with its tangled mass of stems.
The drawing shows how the plantsome-
times has creeping base, sending up
two or more stalks. After the seed has
ripened and fallen, the stalk dies, leav-
ing only the root leaves green to fur
uish sustenance for the root during the
remainder of the season.
The plant blossoms in April and May
or into June of late spring. The petals
remain on but short time and the
seed speedily begins to ripen. 1t pre-
fers rather shady places, like old
orchards, thickets, fence corners, but
often gets footing in low meadows.
1t has usually been meadows bordering
wods where I have noticed til grass.
There are several kinds of avens,
some bearing white, some yellow and
some purple petaled blossoms, but the
general characteristics of all are so
similar that knowing one it is easy to
recognize most of the others. Being
perennial, it is necessary to destroy it
root and branch" in order to be rid Of
it, and thorough cultivation is the most
effective means of killing the roots
where the weed has covered consider
able areas.-Harriet Mason, in Ohio

Peaches in the GARDEN.

Concerning growing peaches in the
garden, American Gardening says:
'"The possibilities of well-cared-for
trees in the home garden are scarcely
to be imagined. If one build a small
chicken yard about a newly set tree
he may have the tree in bearing next
year, and with n head equal to that
of the ordinary tree set twice as long.
The chance seeding, in rich and favor
able situations, may give two bushels
of choice fruit at four years from seed,
without g particle Of culture" 1885,.

G3round Meats and Fish.

If you cannot get fresh meat for your
poultry, or if the expense is apparently
too great, use the commercial ground
meat. Fish is also excellent for ducks
if the eggs are to be used for Matching,
and ground fish will be very acceptable
to them. In the winter season, when
grain is largely used, meat or fish will
serve to supply the deficiency of nitro
gen. One cent pound is about the
cost for ground meat or fish, and they
are very cheap, even at double the
price.-National Stoekman.

1t is quite tho custom to speak of the
whites who were the first to go among the
Indian tribes of the west as ''pioneers of
civilization" The civilization" was not
always of perfectly civil order. The Off
Gals and traders of the old Hudson Bay
company used to claim credit for this
rough pioneering. If we may judge from
the records of the company, their work
was thorough in its way, but the way was
hard one. Some entries in the account
books of the company, made more than
100 years ago, will show how the ciyiliz-
ing was being done:
"Dec. 81, 1895. Served out a quart of
rum per man; the evening spent in inno-
cent mirth and iollity.
"Jan. 1, 1896. All the Indians drunk
about the place; great trouble in keeping
u 49,. =. -
Two entries Of an earlier date and from
station still farther north show what
were the amenities of intercourse between
the "civilized" and savage races when
questions of right and justice were in the
way of settlement. The first entry reads:
"The company's cook, lad of Is, hav-
ing been carried off by the Esquimaux,
three out of party of six passing Esqui-
maux were seized as hostages until the
return of the boy"
Five years later another brief entry
shows how this transaction was finally
closed:
Had row with the three Esquimaux
detained. They were shot and their ears
picked in rum and sent on to their tribe
to show them what had happened. -
