Sugar Maple Trees.

The demand the last few years for
maple sugar has been such as to warrant
improved methods. The maple sugar
worker Of today is practical and mod
ern. II he is the owner Of bush of 600
or 600 trees he can clear all the way
from $500 to $500 season. This is
more than three times as much as the
owner Of 25 years ago made during the
same period. It is claimed that q good
maple tree will pay for itself in a couple
Of tappings, and in the course Of few
years it will pay for itself in sugar over
and above what it would bring for tim
Der many times over. The consequence
is, farmers are no longer anxious to cut
down their hard naples and sell them
for timber. In planting sugar orchard
care is taken to select only the broad
leaf hard maple and straight young
trees, trees sprung from the seed as often
as possible, and not saplings grown
from an old stump. These make tho best
sugar producers. according to an au-
thority which tells that there are many
degrees Of naples, hybrids between the
soft maple and the hard maple They
are all good sap producers, but the sap
produces but little sugar. A soft maple
tree will deliver twice as much sap as
hard maple, but it will not make one
quarter as much sugar, and what it doei
produce is Of inferior quality.

ing in of manure may depend somewhat
on the crop also. 1t is plain in tho case
of shallow rooted crops, like lettuce,
radishes, onions, Strawberries, etc. that
the manure is not wanted ut the Same
level as with parsnips, caulifowcr and
other deeper rooters. Then, again, sur.
face manuring may, as i'll tho case of
Strawberries, serve an excellent purpose
as a mulch III keeping the soil cool and
in preserving moisture.
Another thing, all crops do not need
the Same amount Of manure. 1t is q
poor plan, for instance, to be lavish In
the use Of manure on potatoes and
then slight it OH onions and celery.
Among crops that do the better for high
feeding / would place strawberries, col
cry, onions, lettuce, spinach, beets,
radishes, cabbage, cauliflowcr, squashes
and cucumbers. OF such, the extent Of
the crop is almost measured by the
amount of manure, and 80 to 40 tons
per acre each year is mono too much.
The bush small fruits need less manure
than do strawberries, while vegeta.
bles, potatoes, peas, parsnips, carrots,
beans, tomatoes and melons get along
very we'll with one-half tho manure
called for by the others named.

A Magnetic Mountain.

In tho Arabian tales a story is told about
9 magnetic mountain which attracts ire
sistibly all ships, and when they come near
extracts every particle of iron from them,
even to the nails. Such a mountain OK
lists in reality although not quite as dan
gcrous in it's activity as the one mentioned
in the oriental fairy tale. The island Of
'Bornholm, in the Baltic, belonging to
Denmark, consists almost entirely of mag
netitc, and its magnetic influence is very
we'll known to the Davigators of those wa
tiers, and also much feared by them, not on
account of the possibility Of it's extracting
the nails from their ships, but because Of
it's influence on tho magnetic needle, which
makes the steering Of a ship almost impos-
sible. This influence is felt even at dis
lance of miles, and when this island Is
sighted all mariners on the Baltic discon-
tinue steering their course by the needle,
but turn to well known lighthouses and
other helps to direct their course. Between
Bornholm and the mainland there is q
bank Of rock under water which is very
dangerous to navigation and because of it
being constantly submerged vessels have
been frequently wrecked at that point The
magnetic influence Of that ore bank is go
powerful that a magnetic needle suspended
freely in boat over the bank will point
down and IL not disturbed will remain in
a perfectly perpendicular line.-Philadel-
phia Record.

HOW TO APPLY MANURE.

Comparative Merits of Surface Msnuring
and Flowing In Manure.
Elias A. Long learned lesson in the
application of manure when a boy in
his fathers nursery. He tells the story,
as follows, IN American Gardening: We
purchased from tannery large pile
Of compost, hair, ashes lime and other
refuse, with enough bark in layers to
make all pile up we'll. In the winter we
drew this on land devoted to nursery
and other crops, usually blowing it un-
der in the spring. Sometimes on fall
plowed land we would incorporate tn"
mixture with the soil, by the use Of the
cultivator or share harrow, in the
spring.
One of the things that wildly i'm
pressed me as we dug trees and plants
from soil thus MANFRED was the way in
which rootlets would lay hold of con
genial bits of plant food. The tufts and
felted knots of hair would be tho attrac
ton to mass of small roots. This is
illustrated in the accompanying sketch.
in which Il u show punches Of hair.
This thing was seen not only III tho case
of Seeding and tree roots, but also in
those of strawberry plants, which lie
much nearer the surface.
A lesson to be drawn from this is
that the blowing in Of manure as a
method of applying it should not yield
to surface applications in any marked
degree. The avidity with which roots
seek out and lay hold Of particles Of
manure in the case stated showed to me
that there can be no mistake III putting
the plant food right where it will be
needed. With the surface and applica-
ton Of manure in the fall and winter
there is often great loss of fertility
through escape by teaching and surface
drainage during thaws i'll the winter.
If it be drawn to the plat and be kept
in piles until just before spring plow-
ing or cultivating, such loss is not ap-
preciable.
The question Of tho comparative mer-
its Of surface lnanuring and the plow-
