When set out for ornamental pur-

ed to grow, in favorable situations,
about as rapidly as a LIE Conte pear, and
to require afSDut as much room. In
japan, where the law requires that
new tree shall be set out for every one
cut, they are not generally set In
straight orchard rows, but cultivation
there is performed almost exclusively
by hand labor. There are no records
showing results of regular orchard
planting, hence the distances at which
trees should be planted must be de
termined by the size and form OF the
trees and the method of cultivation and
of procuring the gum They may be
set closely in rows about ten feet apart,
and alternate rows cut and reset every
five years, thus producing bush-hke
plants of ten years growth They may
be planted in checks ten feet square

larger checks, and all of the trees be

be cut with greatest profit for the pro

sular report from Japan states that
although hitherto the youngest wood

about 20 to so years old, it is expected
that under the present scientific man
agement the trees will give equally

phor of good quality has been produced

trees less than 80 years old, one pound

A MARTYR to Melons.

The melon crop was short this year,
and a southwest Georgia farmer who
had practically "cornered II in his
neighborhood had suffered seriously
from the deprecations of some of the
hungry colored brethren So he gave
out that he had poisoned his melons.
and after the news went forth he
ceased to miss them.
Night after night an old negro who
lived near the finest melon patch had
gazed al their green sides with hungry
eyes, but the thought of the poison
kept him hungry still.
One moonlight night, however, his
appetite got the best of him. He
looked in the direction of the melons
long and earnestly: then shoulderine
a sack. he started off.
I'm de name of goodness, Rufus,
whar YOU g7yine ?" asked his wife
The old man turned, pointed to the
melon patch and said. slowly and sol

Early fall is an excellent time for
planting trees" writes Thomas Nee
han in the Ladies' Home Journal. BY
early is meant as soon as the wood is
ripe and the winter buds fully formed.
This is usually month before the reg
ular fall of the leaf The leaves are
stripped by hand. After the wood is
ripe it makes no difference whether
the leaves are taken on by Jack Frost,
the wind or the human hand. In the
eastern part of Pennsylvania this woald
be usually about the 1st of Septem-
Der, and the work of planting can be
kept up during October, and often 10
November or December. But late fall
planting in cold climates is as risky as
late spring planting. The moisture is
dried out by cold winds or hot suns be-
plenish the great evaporation. In
milder climates planting may be sue

NATURES FINE PORTRAITS.
wOmen's Pictures on Crabshells In
the Mexican Gulf.

wOmen's Pictures on Crabshells I'm
the Mexican Gulf.
In the Gulf of Mexico all the crabs of
a certain species have women's forms
designed on the backs of their shells
in bas relief.
The portrait is very distinct, and il il
almost the same in every crab. 1t
represents a woman of handsome face
and remarkably generous proportions.
The head is near that of the crab, and
the feet near the posterior oritice of
the shell. The woman looks like one
of those German peasants who put on
numerous ancestral petticoats and
cumbrous jewelry.
When the raised figure on the crabs
shell is picked out with colors the ef-
feet is very curious and according to
some notions pretty.
These crabs are good eating 1t is
startling TO look down at the food on
your plate and see this female figure on
q crab shell.
While summering at Ocean Springs,
Miss, on the borders of the Gulf of Mex
leo, not long ago, Mr.. S. o. Trudell, OF
No. AT Ninth avenue, was struck by
of the crabs that were served for din
ner. He saw at once the outlines of q
woman's form on the back of the shell.
and Immediately began to make col
lection of different species of crabs,
and found the same resemblance to a
human form on the backs of them all.
The habits of this particular species
of crab are interesting. From the very
beginning of life the crab nanifests a
pugnacious disposition, and is ever
ready for a fight with an antagonist
The younger members of the family re-
main hidden in the mud near the
waters edge, and await the coming OF

| crab in hiding makes dash for his IN
suspecting cousin with the ferocity OF

| ties, but where they are evenly matched
these encounters seldom prove fatal.
The shedding process through which
! q crab passes at stated intervals is very
curious. Several days before the crak
makes this change it accumulates con
siderable fat, on which it subsists fol
quite a period after the shedding of its
coat has taken place 1t is utterly
helpless after this occurs, and is com
| PEELED TO lie still until il has sufficient
| strength TO get about.
The female crab is much better careS
| for than her male brethren during thi
| period. Each female crab is accom-
| panied by hard shell male, who guard
| her against the attacks of antagonist
until the shell is hardened.-N. Y. Jour

Meehanlcal ERect of praanage.

The mechanical effects of drainage
are TO deepen the soil and promote its
more thorough pulverization- Its first
effect is to dry its surface soil by draw
ing out of it all the surplus moisture, sc
that in early spring or late autumn il
may be worked with the plow az adyan-
tageously as at midsummer A wet
soil can never be properly pulveTized
and the plowing or working clay soil
or even a heavy loam, when wet, tends
only to puddle it and render it less
pervious to water and air. Rain water
contains a great quantity and variety
of fertilizing substances, and it depos
its them in the soil during its passags
through it. Both these facts are PER
ceptible to the senses without resorting
