GARDEN AND ORCHARD,

A low, spreading tree is least affected
by the winds.
The kind of soil has much to do with
the quality of fruit.
Always remove dead or decaying wood
from growing trees.
1t is not too late yet to fill vacant
places in the orchard.
A fast-growing tree is not apt to pro-
duce very much fruit.
All superfluous branches are need
less drain upon the resources of the
tree.
In pruning the grapes it is good
plan to allow five canes to each post,
cutting back yearly.
Red clover is one of the best plants
for orchards, it keeps the ground loose
and enriches the soil.
Pruning is done for two reasons: To
make symmetrical, long-lived trees and
TO cause fruitfulness.
Got ice? Got cnsilage? Why not?
Ice is good all summer and ensilage sup
plements early spring pasture.
Inc most important tnlnS In pear cul-
ture is good, well-drained soil. Train
the trees carefully while young.
If grape vines are expected to bear
well to good old age they must be in
diligently pruned from the first.
A well-grown, thrifty tree, well es-
tablished, may survive few years of
neglect, while a younger tree would
soon die of such treatment.
When trees are badly infested with
bark lice, one of the best remedies is
tobacco, to which is added the same
quantity of soap suds.-St. Louis Re-

ARE WE MICROBES?
A Theory Tint Human Beings and All
Life Are Aggregations of Them.

A Theory Tint Human Beings and All
Life Are AgEregntiOns of Them.
NJ. Paris, who succeeded to the seat
OF the great Pasteur in the French acad-
envy, referred in his inaugural address
to the interesting theory that human
beings and all life are aggregations of
microbes. "
"The microbes" he said, "were known
before Pasteur, but the part which they
played in nature was not clearly dis
cerned. They penetrate into the It's
sues of the human body and produce in
fictitious disease; they people the air;
they fill the water; they satlrate the
soil; dwell in animals and plants; they
develop us, serve our purposes, and
threaten us from all sides.
NAY, they are perhaps ourselves.
The life of superior beings appears to
science as the result of myriads of these
elementary eXistences. Their colonies,
more and more populous and differen-
tiated, composed from the merest in
sect to the rose, the cedar, the eagle, the
whale, the man, the immense and daz-
cling network in the meshes of which
they ceaselessly circulate, destroyed
and yet renewed, ever since there has
been produced and without doubt pro-
duced by them on this globe of ours
the mysterious dawning of life. This,
therefore, is what the study of microbes
has revealed to amazed humanity

cure Satisfactory Results.
The character of the feed determines
to a very considerable extent the guam
tity and quality of the milk and but
ter from good COW. An extra yield Of
butter will naturally follow the use
of richer ration, but this is not all
ways the case with a common COW. So
there is something in the breed as wel
as in the feed.
The dairyman who is seeking the best
results at the lowest cost should salts
fly himself as to what are the best kinds
of feed. considering the cost, that will
produce the most and the best millSs.
Generally combination of feeding
materials will give the best results, as
certain elements wanting in some food
will be supplied by others. Succulent
food increases the flow of milk, but does
not materially increase the proportion
of water in it. Still, feed often does
make change in the dry substance of
the milk.
ration rich in albuminoids will
make richer milk, and the relative
proportions of fat and casein are

by change in the. ration. Another
point that is well settled is that GER
tain kinds of food will producechanges
in the composition of milk not indi-
Gated by chemical analysis. Succulent
food is productive of the largest guam
tity of fat in the milk, and also has
the effect of causing the cream to sep
arate more readily from the milk and
the butter globules from the cream
leaving less fat in the buttermilk.
For dry feed combination of four
parts of wheat bran, two of cornmeal
and one of linseed oil makes one of
the best, especially during the winter.
1t any change is made in summer it
would be from corn to ground oats.
This, with good pasture. makes COM
plete ration for mich cow during the
summer. When the pasturage cannot
be supplied, some good soiling crop
that can be cut off and fed green may
take its place.
Liberal feeding is always necessary
with the dairy COW, as it is only the
surplus over and above what is neces-
sary to sustain life and thrift that is
used for milk. If the cow is kept up to
her full capacity she must have all the
appetizing, milk-producing food she
will consume. 1t is only this kind Of
feeding that makes a good profit in
dairying.-St. Louis Republic. t

It was Gen. Phil Sheridan, in one of

orders to this effect: do not shoot
over their heads. This is not going to
be play battle. Shoot to hit, and have

the best minds and the best hearts of
the nation are becoming interested; in
which men engaged in all branches of
trade are becoming interested; in which
every farmer, every laborer, every man
and every woman in the country will
yet become deeply interested. As this
is true, every orator who talks on good
roads at farmers institutes, county and
state fairs, and on other occasions,
should not talk over the heads of the
people; every editor and correspondent
who writes on the subject should write
with distinct purpose in view. They
should not write over the heads of Ghe

Value of Cottonseed.

Those who have made study of the
proper methods for the perfect cult
walton of cottonseed claim that if proper
apparatus were introduced in the south
the value of the produce could easily
be doubled, and reach not less than
$100.000.ooo annually, an amount equal
to one-third of the cotton crop itself.
As it is, the processes in the manufacture
of cottonseed oil are very crude, and
much that is useful is wasted. The
charge of carelessness in manufacture
seems strange in view of the fact that
most of the $30,0O0,000 invested in cot
to.lseed oil manufacture is northern
capital, and the managers are northern
men.

people; they should speak and write
for the minds and the hearts of the peo-
pie, yea, and for their pockets as well;
they should write and speak distinctly,
bravely, honestly, practically, in such
q way as to turn the attention of the
millions to the great question; in such a
way as to set hundreds of thousands to
talking about good roads where thou
sands now are talking about them; i'll
such way as to arouse enthusiasm,
bring about organization, lead to prac-
teal work, to the actual building OF
good roads.
That is what am going to try to do
in this article, not to shoot over the
heads of the people, but right into their
hearts. their minds, their pockets.
A gentleman who has had much expe-
rience in travelling over dusty as well as
muddy roads has figured on the cost OF
both dust and mud. Let him deal with
dust now. He estimates that the dam
age to harness from dust is SIS per
team, or $15,OOO,OO0 annually, and to
vehicles double that, or $30,O0O,000. His
estimate of damage to clothing is an
average of $40 to every man and woman
obliged to encounter dust clouds and
storms, which means that the 100000
of people lose $7O,0OO,o00 each year
from flying dust. He expresses the be-
lief that thousands of people every year
receive injury to their eyes from the
same cause, requiring large outlay of
cash, not to mention suffering, incon-
yenience and loss Of time.
These figures are well calculated to
cause thoughtful men and women to
other respects. A loss of $115,000,000
from one result of poor roads is worth
looking into.
For century the people have been
suffering from dusty roads certain
portions of the year. Probably not one
in $4,000 people from the birth of the
republic until now has ever stopped to
consider the question of damage from
dust, while all have groaned over it's
Inconvenience and annoyance.
1t is easy to figure up the billions of
dollars that have been lost from that
one cause the past century. The aver
age good road affords but little dust.
Some one asks how shall we get good
roads? Begin by agitating. Agitate
in the home circle, in the everyday
walks of life, npublic meetings, through
The press, in farm institutes, at county
and state fairs, in the debating societies,
anywhere, everywhere, and when pab-
lie sentiment has reached the right
stage it will do the rest-get good roads.
Agitate it practically; antagonize no
element; interest all elements; make
1t plain that good roads are in the in ter
&st of all from money standpoint;
from the standpoint of comfort, con-
venience and economy.
Such agitation, on such question. in
such an age ought to be easy. Go at it,

suggestions on Dreaming.

Gravity Dreaming in the private dairy
loses more fat than most farmers
dream of. If ice is used at once after
milking to reduce the water round the
cans to about 40 degrees Fahrenheit,
the fat will rise, leaving not more than
one-fifth of one per cent; and if the
water is at 60 degrees or above, one per
cent. or more will be left in the skim
milk. This one or more per cent. is
third or a half of all the fat in the
milk. This suggests the putting up of
ice by the private dairyman. The eli.
mate of Kansas provides for this, and
it is greater boon than many imagine.

New Odors for Flowers.

1t is a fad in Paris to perfume flowers
artificially. Experiment has proved
that it is possible not only to take away
the natural odor of flower, but also
to make it yield a perfume derived
from some other vegetable product.
Some violets, for example, are perfect
in form and coloring, but without fra
GRANGE, while others, very insignificant
to look at, emit delicious fragrance.
The transfer of the odor from one spe-
cies to the other has been accomplished.
Those who have been most successful
in this branch of horticulture refuse
to tell their secret. 1t is said that the
African marigold has been robbed of
its disagreeable odor and endowed with
a perfume that makes it much sought.
The fad has been carried to the extreme
of giving to the sunfower the odor Of

that of the violet.-N. Y. Sun.
