Facts About olives:

Every ode knows there is such aii
article dis olives, most everybody has
eaten them, but few are aware IF their
nature, properties and characteristics,
to sdy nothing Of their origin, homeI
cultivation, preparation, etc.
The original home of the olive tree
was iii Syria and Palestine; thence it
was carried to Greece, where 1t -four
ished ii1 the time Of Homer, who
makes mention Of the tree and Its
fruit. The origin of the olive Is lost
in antiquity, but there is little doubt
that it is many centuries older than
the Greek poets.
p The olive tree is small one, gch.
orally. from l to 8 feet in diameter and
Is to 80 in height. Old specimens dre
found which have attained larger pro.
portions, but these are exceptional.
Italy Is the most prolific country at
the present time in the production of
olives; France and Spain being second
in the. order named. Olives are also
produced in many other countries.
They were planted in California by the
Spanish missionaries somewhere
about 1165, and, to this day emission"
olives are considered the best in the
state.
The value of the olive as relish is
Of considerable Importance, but It's
oil is Of more Importance, commercial
" speaking.

One Idea of Feeding.

1t is pretty we'll established that the
quality of cows milk cannot be i'm
proved as far as butter fat is con-
cerned by feeding-that is, when the
cow is being fed as she should to give
the best results as to quality; but there
is one thing noticeable, and that is,
under the action of the very best Of
food the cows posterity will be de-
cided improvement on the mother, so
this proves that good cows, together
with good feeding, will gradually and
surely make an improvement in the
herd. no matter what its present
standard is, whether it be high or
low. 0fcourse, for such thing to
happen, everything must be favorable
to it.-The Weekly Witness.

ruo oEnco,nnnn Annle Pests.

According to Professor Lowe, there
are two insects which are quite similar
to the apple-tree tent-caterpillar in
appearance or habits and which may
do damage in the orchards, though
not usually so abundantly as this
species. The forest tent-caterpillar
ordinarily feeds in the woods upon the
maple, but frequently mingles with its
relatives in the orchards and is dis
tinguishable from them only by few
minor characteristics. The egg-masses
are similarly placed, but are cut off
squarely at the ends, instead of being
somewhat slopiug, as are those of the
apple-tree caterpillar. This is caused
by the eggs in the end rows of the
bunch, as we'll as those in the centre,
being placed upright; while the end
rows of the first described masses. are
inclined. The tents are more delicate
and less conspicuous, and are fire.
quently lacking; the caterpillars have
a row of diamond-shaped white spots
along the back instead of single
white line; and the parallel bands
across the wings OF the moths are
dark rather than white, and the space
between the lines is darker.
The fall web worm makes tent in
the fall-not in the spring-which in
cludes the leaves upon which the
caterpillars feed; these latter pupate
in the fall aud pass the winter in the
cocoons. The moths which are white
or slightly fiecked with color, emerge
in the spring.

America,s Yellow Poultry.

1t is an odd fact that the great
American poultry consuming public is
greatly pre;udiced in favor of the
yellow-legged, yellow-Aeshed fowl.
That it is merely matter of fashion
or fad, is amply proved by the fact
that in all other countries the prefer
ence is given to the white-meated
birds. France is recognized as
authority upon the edible qualities of
nil the foods devoted to the use of
man, and in that sunny land the Hou-
dan stands pre-eminent. They have
been bred for generations for the ex-
press purpose of use as table deli
cacy. They are bird OF medium
weight and large breast predominance;
being small boned and fine feshed,
with small amount of offal, they are
a profitable carcass for the consumer
to purchase. Iu the great Paris mar
kets huge piles of dressed Houdan
and La FIeche fowls can be seen at
the numerous stalls. These are reared
in small flocks by the villagers ada
cent to the city, and sold to profes-
sional dealers who make the daily or
weekly tours. Inland Poultry.

orally attached to them. ,Nosoil, how
ever rich, can do tithe of its duty
unlsss good, intelligent tillage is
given to it each season: Cultivation
must begin early and continue late:
Tie more the soil can be turned over
and pulve,ized the more will its pro-
ductivity be increased. Tillage for
the sake of improving the soil should;
be the motto more than cultivation to
keep down the weeds. The latter is
often the extent to which many farm,
ers go, for when the weeds are killed
they consider their duty done. +.
A recent examination of the Soils
sNowed that there were vast quanti:
ties of plant food in them that their
owners had never dreamed of: They
had been indif;erently cultivated for
years, and their owners classed them
as medium soils, neither very good
nor very bad. Some of these soils
were remarkably rich in nitrogen and
potash, and yet they did not begin to
yield tile results obtained from soils
dressed with these commercial fertili-
zers. What was the difference? SIM
ply that the potash and nitrogen in
the soil were not in an immediate
available condition, while in the COM
mercial fertilizers they were. The
soil needed good tillage to develop the
potash and nitrogen SO the plants
could Immediately take them up.
That is about the case with all of
our soils. They need cultivation to
bring out their possibilities, and to
make the potash and nitrogen immedi-
ately available. More than this, good
cultivation improves the mechanical
conditions of the soil so THAT it per-
forms it's functions much better. Most
soils are not in fit condition natural.
ly for our fine cultivated plants to
thrive in, aud they need good treat
ment to prepare them as seed beds.
Many are so thick that there is no
drainage, and the plants suffocate or
drown in them. Good cultivation
breaks up the soil, pulverizes it and
enables the water to percolate prop.
erly through it to the subsoil. Thus
good tillage is essential to successful
farming, and is as important to- the
soil itself as to the plants. w. r.

Mems Feet.

The man buying n pair Of shoes
found the right one perfectly comfort
able and easy, the left one rather snug.
.Its usually so," said the salesman;
"the left. foot is commonly little big

.rWhy don't you make the left shoe
little bigger, them" asked the Gus
toner. ...-.a
dWell,p said the salesman" the diff;
ference is usually not great, and 1t
might not be enough so that it would
be noticed in trying on shoes. And
then It is not so great but what the diff

some cases the mans right foot Is the
larger, the man being right-footed in
!. this respect as men are sometimes left

habit In the use of their hands. If
shoes were commonly made with the
left little bigger than the right, to
fit the majoriy of cases, they'd be
worse than ever when you hit right

children, has lately made Prince Ed

the most orthodox manner by brooches,
buckets and weapons. The dirk is
lovely little toy; and Prince eddie"
struts about in truly warlike fash
ion, brandishing it aud receiving
the homage OF the other inhabi-
tants of the nursery. The gay col
ors of the dress meet with gen.
eral approval; but the warlike acces-
sories occasioned some alarm to the
young princess, until she got used to
them. Prince Eddie is a delightfully."-

the heart of the most anxious mother.
He is also great chatterbox. Young

THE ROSES SOLD THE TICKETS
But That Fact Did Not Console the Man
Who Had Sent Them.

But That Fact DIu not Console the man
Who Had Sent Them.
How bunch of roses sold couple
of high-priced railroad tickets is the
basis of queer little comedy of errors
enacted recently at leading New
Orleans hotel. Among the guests of
the house was wealthy Texas mer-
chant, who was en- route, with
his wife, for visit to New England.
The Texan had local business repre-
sentative in Louisiana in the person
of hustling young man about town,
who was especially anxious to make
the stay of his principal as pleasant as
possible. Accordingly he rushed to
florists, as soon as he saw the names
on the register, and ordered him to
put up the handsomest bunch of roses
he had in the shop and send them over
to Mrs. Blank at such-and-such a
hotel.
In his hurry he forgot to leave his
card for enclosure, and supposing it
was omitted Intentionally, the florist
proceeded to prepare magnificent
bouquet, which he despatched forth
with by messenger. It'so happened,
at thu moment the flowers arrived, that
a city passenger solicitor for one of
the north bound roads had just handed
over his card to be sent to the Texas
gentleman's apartments, and quite
naturally the pasteboard and the roses
went up together. The visitor was
both astonished and pleased. 'This
is certainly princely way of solicit
ing business!" exclaimed the merchant,
examining the flowers. "Wby, these
things must have cost all of ten dol
lars. Show the gentleman up"
The solicitor was shown p,received
most cordinlly and given an immedi-
ate order for transportation both ways.
He departed, chuckling r,errily but
little dazed by the facility of his deal
and puzzled to understand the many
references to his courtesy" and
'thoughtfulness." An hour or SO
later, tke local representative dropped
around and was met by his employer
in the lobby. The greeting was pain
fully natter of-fact and not word
was said about the flowers. The
young man was greatly chagrined, and
began to believe he had made bad
break.
Next day he accompanied the couple
to the depot and incidentally some
thing was sold about the route. eve

Ernit Beetles md Borers.

Fruit beetles and borers naturally do
q great amount of damage in all fruit
growing sections. Professor J. NJ.
Stedman in Bulletin AZ of the Missouri
experiment station says that the bark
beetle is rapidly increasing in Missouri
and that it infests plum, cherry, april
cot, nectarine, peach, apple, pear and
ounce trees. The damage is caused
by the adult beetles making minute
holes through the bark. The eggs are
deposited in these and the larvae bur-
row just beneath the tough bark, de
stroying the layer of new cells and
killing the branches above the injury
Unhealthy trees are attacked first, but
even the more vigorous are liable to
become infested.
The pest is difficult to control, but
may be held in check if attention is
given TO removing every part of the
infested tree and burning at once,
keeping the trees in healthy, vigorous
condition by cultivation and ie:tiliza-
ton, covering the trunk and large
limbs with solne repellant solution,
applying to the smaller limbs by
means Of a force pump and to the
larger by means of whitewash brush.
The best wash is made by dissolving
as much common washing soda as pos
sible in six gallons of soft water and
then adding one gallon of soft soap,
one pint of crude carbolic acid and
mixing thoroughly. Slake two pounds
of lime in two gallons water, filter and
add the lime water to the above mix
ture. To all this add one-half pound
of paris green and mix thoroughly.
The wash may be made thicker by
adding lime. The same treatment
will answer for borers on any kind Of
trees. A wash made in this manner Is
not expensive, is easily applied and
very effective. New England Home
