ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

In transplanting cut off all broken or
mutilated roots.
Fumes from an oil stove are not good
for house plants.
If the lawn needs manuring, now is
The best time TO giveit.
In mulching, use material that is free
as possible from weed seeds.
In growing fruit for market it is an
advantage to have varieties that will
keep well and bear transportation.
While lilies and gladiolas are injured
by manuring, tulips, hyacinths and
crocuses are benefited by a liberal al
lowance.
Nearly or quite all kinds Of fruits and
vegetables keep much better if the tenn
perature in the place where they are
stored can be kept even.-St. Louis Re-

GYPSUM IN THE SOIL.
Experiments Demonstrate That the
Substance Is Not Inimical to
Plant Growth.

II has generally been supposed that
gypsum, when used as a fertilizer, is
valuable largely because it attracts
moisture and furnishes some material
which nourishes the plants in extreme
ly dry weather. AS aSoil for producing
Vegetation, it has never been consid-
cred, indeed it has not been supposed
that plants would grow in it, but some
experiments at agricultural stations
show that plants will flourish in pure
gypsum and make an almost phenom-
email growth. Grain and plants were
raised in this soil with most surprising
results. Experiments also have been
made in growing plants and grain in
clean, white sand. The results of these
efforts may, it is said, almost revolu-
tionize the growing of certain forms Of
vegetation. AS a case in point: Some
years ago family moved into a new
house which was built upon an un'
promising gypsum bed. The mistress
of the house was extremely fond o1
flowers and bewailed the fact that she
could have no flower garden. Finally
her house plants became so trouble
some that she turned them into the sane
bed, digging holes and dropping then
in regardless of order or system, anc
left them, as she supposed, to die. Hel
establishment may be imagined wher
she grew such verbenas, petunias
geraniums and other plants as sh'
never raised in her life. The neighborI
insisted that she must have used som'
commercial fertilizeS but the fact wa
that the roots found abundant nour
ishment in what would usually be con
sidered absolutely worthless SOIL

A NEST OF SIEVES.
Their Use Is Called For Almost Every
Day In Every Variety of Farm
Work.

The value OF set of sieves with
meshes of varying degrees Of fineness
Is too apparent to need argument.
Their use is called for almost every day
upon the farm. They are useful in sep
arating weed seed from grain that is to
be sown. In fact, all seed grain ought
to be sifted with a mesh just fine
enough to hold the sound, plump, per-
feet grains, and to let all foreign seed
and shriveled grain pass through.
This is but one out of the many i'm
portant uses to which sieves may be
put. 1t is important, however, to have
a whole line of these articles, else just
the right mesh will always be lacking

neighbors around me, and have been
