TREES FOR DRAINAGE.
Those Who Have Land That Would
BE Improved by Being Drier
Should Plant Some,

1t is a popular belief that trees about
a house tend TO make it damp. 1t is
true that after heavy rains dwelling
with trees surrounding it takes more
time to dry out than one not so sur
rounded. On the contrary it is just as
true that where trees are the soil is
very much drier than it would be other
wise. Some years ago the daily papers
had much to say of the drainage of a
malarous district in Rome by the plant
ing largely Of the fastgrowing blue
gum tree of Australia, Eucalyptus
globulus. There is no doubt that this
rapid-growing tree would quickly
change the character of a half-swamp,
as it grows fast and has thick foliage.
When there is lot of trees full of TO-
liage there is great call for moisture
from the ground. The roots are draw
ing it in continually, and this in the
long run accomplshes as much as
system of drainage would do. l have
myself witnessed the great change
brought about by the cutting down and
clearing of trees from a low piece of
W nav was ~ ie''i'y w. lisN>G
while the trees stood became almost
swamp. 1t is not as easy to start ever
greens in such a spot as it is deciduous
trees; otherwise they would be better
for the purpose as there is more evapo-
ration from them in the winter season.
But it must not be supposed that there
is entire rest on the part of Il decidu-
, 4 ;,o
and especially toward spring an enor-
NOUS lot of water is taken from the
earth by the roots of q large tree. This
is why trees near dwellings, which are
in damp situations are so valuable. The
cellar of Il house which is surrounded
by large trees will be very much drier
than before the trees were there. This
I have seen many examples Of. There
is no need to plant trees so close that
the branches will reach to the house
and it is not at all desirable that the
limbs overhang it. Deciduous trees are
better than evergreen for planting near
n house. An evergreen is not top
spreader and affords but little shade.
The deciduous one gives the shade in
summer when it is needed. and its roots
are drying the soil to u great extent in
winter as well as largely in summer.
One of the best trees for the purpose
is the common white maple. 1t grows
quickly. makes a good deal of foliage,
and it is much more of a surface rooter
than many trees, and this is what
makes it so good for drainage. Those
who may have piece of land that
would be improved by being drier and
would not object to trees doing the
work for them should plant some. The
result would please them very much

NOT A GOOD RATION.
Ont Straw Diminishea the Flow Of
Milk and Otherwise Injuries
Dairy Cows. .....

Generally right after the threshing
machine has pulled cut of the barnyard
the cattle are turned in to pick up the
scattered heads and loose wheat and
cat as much as they wish from the
straw stack. There is nothing so det-
rimental to the flow of milk as straw,
especially oat straw. l have known
mich cows that were giving two and a
half to three gallons of milk day, in
two weeks to decrease to less than a
gallon a day. Not that they were fed
on straw. They had good fresh fall pas
lures, but they were allowed to eat
from the strawstack also.
l know by experience that nothing
gives the butter such 4 chccsy taste and
smell, besides making it much harder to
churn, as feeding the COWS oat straw.
1t also dries up the flow of milk much
faster than any other feed you can
give them. Save your straw for your
young stock; they will do well on it if
you give them some ground corn along
with it. Feed your cows middlings,
with good clover or timothy hay, or,
what is better yet, cornfodder or silage.
I know of no better dry feed for mich
cows than cornfodder. Feed them that.
Keep oat straw away from them and
there will be no decrease in the flow of
milk in the fall and winter.-Beatrce

THERE IS A LIMIT.
The Fourth Gentleman Severely
Strained the Bounds OF
Human Credulity.

"You may not believe it, gentlemen" re.
marked one of an after.dinner group engaged
in smoking cigars in front OF totel, but I
have used a fountain pen constantly for four
years, and have never had the least trouble
with it,
THAT is indeed remarkable" rejoned an
other. Nevertheless | am the father of six
children and have never had to walk the
floor by night with single one of them
There was a silence, lasting minute or
so: Then another spoke up: Il don't doubt
it in the least" said he, "for can testify to
something stranger still l have bright
little four-year:old boy at my house, and I've
never repeated any of his smart sayings to
my most intimate friends"
Gentlemen" observed fourth, after a
protracted and somewhat painful pause, II

One or two other members of the group
made more or less feeble attempts to say
something, but falteringly gave it up 1t

limit, of human credulity had been reached

serIou. Menace to Health.

1t would be safe to say that prescrva-
tives in anything to be eaten, in the
shape of boracic acid, salycilic acid,
formalin, and the whole family, are a
damage to the health of those who eat
them, says New York Farmer. No
number of certificates from chemists
and medical men who are willing to sell
an opinion on these subjects should
have any weight with sensible people.
There has been a good deal of such
dirty work done, and by men who rate
themselves as authorities in such Gues-
tons, but such opinions have no weight
among their professional brethren
whose opinions are not for sale. 1t
seems a pity that such men can have
any standing among their honest and
conscientious brethren, and if the truth
could be fully known we opine such
would be found to be the case.

TIMELY GARDEN NOTES.

Watch a sod orchard. 1t will begin
to fall before you know it.
Good drainage, natural or artificial,
is essential to success. Trees are inn
patient of wet feet.
Good tilIage increases the available
food supply of the soil and also con-
serves it's moisture.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be APP
piled to fruit trees, particularly after
they come into bearing.
Only cultivated crops should be al
lowed in orchards early in the season.
Grain and hay should never be grown.
Nitrogen can be obtained cheapest
by means of thorough tillage Ito pro-
mote nitrification) and heterogeneous
green manures.
The remedy for these apple failures
is to cut down many of the orchards.
For the remainder, the treatment is cul-
tivation, fertilizatio spraying - the
trinity of orthodox apple growing.
Cultivation may be stopped late in
the season, and crop can then be sown
upon the land. This crop may serve as
a cover or protection to the soil, and as
a green manure.-Prof. Bailey.

Milking in Fly Time.

The perpetual switching of a cows
tail into the mixers face and eyes is
extremely annoying, aside from the liza
bility of getting dirt switched from the
tail into the milk pail. Some mixers
tie the cows tail to her leg, but the flies
make the cow SO uneasy that she will
soon switch her tail loose, or else will
break into run. The best way to keep
flies from cow is to rub little grease
over her back and sides, and very lit
tie will be enough. Then spread over
her branches cut from the trees, al
lowing the green leaves to extend down
her sides. The mixer can then milk
in comfort. 1t will need a fresh branch
every two or three days, keeping it in
water when not used as shade for the
cow.-American Cultivaator.

Corn in the Orchard.

Corn is undoubtedly the most appro-
pirate crop to raise i'll young orchard.
It makes a wind break, causes trees to
grow straight and furnishes food for
insects which prefer young corn to
trees. And the cultivation given corn
is lust what the trees need. Those who
were fortunate enough to have apples
last year have good bank accounts now.
Apples at so cents peck have been no
dream, but reality which caused the
orchardists to dream of diamonds and
other adornments of plutocrats.-

CHAPTER XIV.
THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS.


Whether our meeting would prove for
good or evil fortune the future alone would
tell, but certain it was there was nothing
remarkable in the fact OF our coming to-
gether. Twas but natural that the girl had
flown straight from Clinton to where she
might expect to find her brother, and, as the
report of his escape had been true, she there
found him. Her freedom from arrest had
been due to the same cause or causes that
had allowed me to retain my own liberty on
that memorable Sabbath; namely, the lack
of military precaution at headquarters on
that day and the suddenness and unlocked
for nature of the episode. Once under the
roof of a Quaker relative, she and her broth
er had been quickly disguised and passed
through the lines as father and son. finding
refuge in the house on the shores of Turtle
bay, and they had thus far eluded capture
by retreating by day to the concealed quar-
tiers before described.
From there Ames had proceeded to
Stryker (another link in the chain of secret
patriots), hoping through him to find the
means of getting to the Jersey shore or
above the lines at Kingsbridge; but partly
through the fact that all points of possible
escape were doubly guarded, and partly
through the adventure caused by my going
to the Dove, he could obtain no help from
the innkeeper. However, as he had further
protected his sister by starting Lowney's
companion, the trooper, on false scent to
the northward, and had ended the days OF
the tory blackleg himself, his errand could
hardly be considered fruitless.
The only remarkable point in the Sc
quence of events that had brought US all to-
gether was that should have met Rex
in the nick of time and had him made known
to me.
There was nothing in his present appear
ance by which l could have connected him
with the scorched youth had encountered
at the fire. He was now clean shaved, and,
with the CRIME of smoke washed from his
face, his singed hair replaced by white
wig, and his entire change OF costume, he
was an aged Quaker if one peered not too
closely at the lines which had been laid upon
bis features
