Growing crops In orehard,.

In dry sections it is not advisable TO
grow any crop In the orchard, as the
trees need all the moisture. Frequently
the trees are ruined by careless cult
walton, especially when trees are set
close together. The damage done Is
far more than the value of the crop Do
not SOW small grain or seed to grass
Buckwheat the first four or five years
and then seeding to red clover is regard
ed with favor by many. Ii some hoe1
crop is desired, early potatoes, sweet
corn or squash will do, as they do not
necesstate cultivating late in the sea-
son. Clean cultivation Is the best mulch
for young orchards. The soil needs
aeraton as well as moisture. A light
mulch of coarse strawy manure or lit
ter of any kind in the fall prevents Sc
we're root killing and Is a good practice
in dry locations and in periods OF
dronlh. Sometimes young orchards sur.
fer severely from root-kllling In hard
winters with little snow following q
dry fall.

FeeIIng the Earth,s Pnlae.

The fanclful notion which men used
sometimes to entertain that the earth
is. In some sense, living thing would
probably have derived support from
the recent observations of Professor
John Milne and others on the shivers
and quivers that frequently run
through its rocky frame, but escape
notice except when watched for with
specially constructed md exceedingly
delicate apparatus. Professor Milne
reports that apparatus Of this kind has
now been mounted in Canada, British
Columbia, the United States, South
Africa, New Zealand. Java. India and
Argentina, as well as In England and
at various places on the continent OF
Europe.

When a piece of land has become SO
far exhausted that 1t no longer pays 10
crop It. no time should be lost In re-
storing the elements of fertility that
cropping has removed The old prac-
tice Of letting the soil lie idle until ma
ture restores fertility requires too mnch
time. 1t is far better to apply enough
phosphate and potash TO make sure of
a good catch OF clover, and then rely
on that to trap the heterogeneous fertility
required. One good clover crop, even II
only the sod has been plowed under,
will do more to make the land fit for
cropping than dozen years of barren
ness and trusting to the weeds and
brush which nature will supply 10 un-
occupied land. In the thousands of
years that our forest land has remained
uncropped, much fertility was stored
In the soil. But when this is exhaus-
ted, 1t takes too much time 10 try To

The eggs of the cut and wire worms
are laid among the roots of old sod. I'M
der dead leaves and old rubbish. These
worms feed on the grass roots mostly,
and when their natural food Is not at
hand they will deyour any tender yege-
table matter that comes to hand; they
are especially fond Of young corn and
all kinds of garden vegetables. Practi-
cal farmers and truckers aim to have
their sod land plowed under just before
winter sets in, 50 that the young worms
and their eggs that are buried In the
sod can be fully exposed TO the frosts
of wlpter. This Is the cheapest and
most effectual way OF destroying them.
The application of four bushels of
coarse salt spread over the ground just

PULLING TEETH AT SEA.


Tar While AHoat.
When a sailor on a deep water ship
has a toothache lie is likely to go 10
the captain. The captain gives him
something out of the medicine chest 10
put in his tooth, and il that doesn't
cure it perhaps he pulls IT, Ii is a COM
mon thing for sailors to pull their own
teeth. Their method Is to put a string
around a tooth and pull It.; but dental
forceps are carried on deep-water ships,
ON some vessels a fair outfit of them.
\ ship captain of long experience said
that in the course of his life al sea he
had pulled 200 teeth.
The ships medicine chest on large
vessels is like q closet or cupboard.
with n glass door built in the ship. In
this chest the medicine bottles, gilt
labeled, are arranged on shelves that
rise one above another in recedlng
tiers; 1t is practically well-appolnted
little drug store. There is supplied
with the medicine chest a book explain
ing the uses of the medicines. The cap
tain is likely TO have some other book
on medical subjects which he has read
and studied, and lie is likely to have
had good deal of experience before
attaining the rank OF master OF the
ship.
The sailors are generally healthy
men, but, when occasion requires. the
captain prescribes; he Is the physician.
Limbs broken at sea are of course set
there, and there might be circum-
stances in which the captain would not
hesitate TO perform a surgical opera
tion.-New York Sun.
