Horticulture.

Where an orchard tree has died it
is hard to make new one grow. 1t
has been found advantageous to
treat the ground with salt and ashes.
Remove the old stump, to be rid of
disease germs, and then work into
the ground a gallon OF salt ard leb-
eral allowance of ashes. The latter
will aid the salt In driving off
insects, and will also furnish plant
food.
Insects and disease are compell-
ing market gardeners to adopt bet
ter rotation they have relied main
ly upon manures to maintain the
fertility of the soil. Common sense
should suggest that crops nearly
allied should not follow each other,
even though the gardener must
somewhere grow what the market
demands.
The progress and development of
given region can be closely esti-
mated by watching the progress OF
its horticulture. Fruits and flowers
are great civilizers, and we can not
have too many of them.
When 1t comes to the question OF
trimming evergreens which are
rusty at the bottom, it is better not
to trim them at all; but it often fol.
lows when we cut out the leader, al
the top, the growth of the shrub Il
checked, and the lower branches
again become green and hardy.
In the high summer temperature
OF the soil gooseberries are apt tc
mildew. A remedy is often in q
good mulch, which protects the soil
and this should be put on at the be.
ginning of winter, to keep the grounc
from freezing deeply, that the moist
ture may be held for next season,
When cabbage heads are stored
out In open ground earth worms ar,
likely to get into them. Better frs
sprinkle the ground with a lot O
lime, before the heads are deposited
Coal ashes also destroy the worms.

Poultry.

Do not lose time in grading up
when you buy pure bred fowls as
cheaply as now; also, the hens kept
for the producing of future stock
should be of the best. Save the
young pullets, and do not keep the
mothers longer than the second
year.
1t is unwise to use eggs for hatch
ing unless these eggs are from GER
tain hens which are known to be not
only prolific, but have shown them
selves capable of producing hardy,
strong and vigorous offspring. In
short, breeders should be tested,
Just as with any other stock. He
will make no Roadway who uses eggs
from the general basket for incuba-
ton.
Wheat screenings may supply
bulk, but they give very little nour-
ishment. and he who depends upon
such food for a flock will not have a
flock to feed very long. Damaged
grain Of any kind should never be
fed to poultry.
Chicks require more liberal feed
ing, and oftener, than grown fowls,
as they are making flesh, muscle,
bone and feathers at the same time.
For these reasons they require a
good supply of varied and nourish-
ing diet.
1t has been demonstrated that if
one flock, during the winter, be fed
with warm grains, and another with
/ cold, that the former will produce
during the season more than twice
the number of eggs as the other, and
the fowls themselves will be much
finer in appearance.
If on cold morning the inside of
the hen house be covered with frost,
then be on the lookout; such a con-
dition is forerunner of roup. Fowls
should never roost in a room cold
enough too freeze their breath.

Within the last % years there has
been an increase of four million
acres in the permanent pasture lands
Of Great Britain. Beef and mutton
have been found TO pay better than
grain, which may surprise some
American farmers; but il is a sug-
gestiOn that as our lands gov more
in value we should keep cattle upon
them, instead Of fewer, as is now
our inclination.
One thing is certain, we can MOI
afford to give up stock. or our lands
will rapidly deprecIate, but we car
afford to give more space to pas
lures, and we should make an ef
fort to have good ones. A poor pas
ture is a loss all around.

Stock.

If we would increase our stock of
bees in the spring, much depends
upon the condition and actions of
the queen we introduce, and the re-
ception accorded them. A good
queen largely determines the pro-
ducts Of a colony's work. Other
things being equal, get the new
queens from point as near home as
possible.
II a new bee queen is In good con-
dition and satisfied with her sur
roundings she will walk quietly and
cOmposedly about the hive and be-
gin her egg laying. The bees are
most sure to accept her, then; but il
she runs about making a noise the
bees will surround her and roll her
up in a ball. Release her by using
smoke, and then try her again. This
process may have to be tried several
times before all goes well.

Whatever may have been the in
tention of the Postmaster Generalin
preparing the foregoing data, the
figures he has given US are chiefly
significant as indicating where the
surplus money of the nation is to be
found. In the East there is four
teen times as much locked up in de-
posts as in the banks in the South.
Next year the proportion will be
greater, and the year following still
greater. 1t is the result of the con-
tinual, everlasting drain upon the
agricultural sections of having to
pay either directly or indirectly
with the proceeds of their products
the interest upon monopoly and cor
porate stocks watered to an enOr-
mously fictitious valuation. 1t is
an unequal game, in which the
agricultural sections are engaged,
and the burden is becoming more
and more apparent and unbearable.
