Lou.e.Proof Neat.

The location of the nest has much to
do with a good hatch. The best place
is a moist cellar. Having selected a
suitable place for the nest, dig a hole
about foot deep and one foot
across. In the bottom Of this hole put
some coal ashes and sulphur. Over
this foundation make the nest of to-
bacco stems, or Of the best material
you can get. Shape your nest to suit
your hen and make a box large enough
to cover it, with q hole in the box large
enough to admit n good-sized hen, and
your nest is complete. You will notice
in what a contented and comfortable
way the hen will settle on the nest,
with no lice to suck her blood.

Dwarf Essex Rape !,

This plant has been grown for many
years in Germany and England by the
sheep and cattle feeders. On rich,
finely %pulverized land, 1T will yield
from thirty to forty tons of green fod-
der to the acre. Sheep and cattle are
very fond Of it; the fodder is SO succu-
lent that 1t must be fed with caution
for a few days ut first, as the cattle
will overeat, and thus cause bloat. The
seed is very fine, and costs about fif-
teen cents per pound. 1t has been
grown very successfully in the New
England States and in parts Of New
York and Pennsylvania. The seed can
be sown from the middle of May until
the first week in August. If broad
casted, SOW six pounds to the acre; IL
grown in drills, SOW four pounds to
the acre. The ground must be deeply
plowed, narrowed and rolled, and
made as fine as an onion bed. The
better way is to throw the land up into
narrow ridges. then run the smoothing
harrow over the ridges and drill right
behind the harrow. The crop should
be cultivated until it commences to
spread.-The American.

| In the details of practical garden
ing we are not much IN advance of
our forefathers, notes DIR. Maxwell
Masters, President of the Information.
al Conference of LIBERALIZATION, and
we can only dimlv perceive the
enormous strides that will be made
under more complete guidance by
scientific Investigations, 1t is in
cross breeding that We have greatly
out distanced our ancestors. The
first artifically produced hybrid on
record was mentioned by Richard
Bradley in l717 as being then to be
seen in the garden of Thomas Fair
child, of Hoxton, and as a plan
(which was raised from the seed Of a
carnation which had been impreg-
mated by the farina of the sweet
william" Even then the Importance
of knowledge of plant fertilization
as means of modifying fruits was
recognized. Linnaeus observed and
initiated natural hybrids, Dean Her
bert overcame certain religious
scruples by showing that many wild
narcissi of.the Pyrenees were natural
hybrids, and Darwin finally set aside
the prejudices of botanists by teach
ing that naturalization is one means
of ascertaining the true relationships
of plants and the limitation Of species
and genera. The new plants of the
present day, like the roses, the chrys-
anthemums, the fuchsias, and so
many others, are the product of the
gardeners skill, From peaches to
potatoes, from peas to plums, from
strawberries TO savoys, the work of
the cross breeder is seen improving
the vuality and quantity of our
products, adapting them to different
climates and conditions, Fastening
their production in the spring, pro
longing their duration in autumn.
