rhe A,nnteur,s orchard.

Everyone likes good fruit, and but
few gardens, however small, are
thought complete without it. But
Notwithstanding the appreciation for
good fruit, it is seldom found perfect
in small gardens or orchards. The
fault lies in too much dependence on
the trees, or rather a lack of interest
in cultural methods. Trees are plant
ed out in perhaps the most careful
manner, after which they are expect
ed to care for themselves AID produce
good fruit ab.ndantly. They fact is,
they need continual attention Just as
much as we do. This need not devel-
op into a burden if regularly and
properly attended to.
Now, one of the most important con-
ditions to insure thrift is soil mellow
and cool in hot and dry weather, yet how
frequently may trees be seen growing
in sod or together with some crop that
does not require cultivation. Such
trees quickly outlive their usefulness,
and their stunted branches can only
produce understood and immature
fruit.
Then old trees are expected to live
on q small allowance of food. 1t is
forgotten that the roots Of tree have
to get their food from nearly the same
soil year after year, and in the case of
sod land, even this food must be di-
vided.
To have good fruit, health and vigor
must be encouraged-notrank growth,
which might be induced by overfeed-
ing, for this is opposed to fruit bearing.
For most moderate-si orchards
or gardens it would be desirable to
commence cultivating by plowing be-
tween the rows in late fall; but In
light soils summer narrowing is suffi-
cient. Judgment must be exercised
as to the extent of cultivation, de-
pending ON the condition of the trees.
Experience must teach how far from
the tree trunk the roots extend, for
care must be taken not to disturb
them during the summer or feeding
time.
Good stable manure may be spread
on the surface of the soil after the lat
ter is frozen, provided the ground is
comparatively level so the fertilizing
constituents may not be washed away.
As the feeding roots are principally
on the outside, the manure need not
be spread at the base of large trees,
r.
Another, but more laborious method,
is to dig shallow trenches running
towards the base of the tree, .and fill
in well-rotted or composted manure.
Root pruning, to make too vigorous
trees more productive, and top prun-
ing to thin cut old wood, letting light
and air amongst the branches, are also
good subjects for the amateur to look
into.-American Cultivator.

Full-grown caribou not only differ
widely in weight, varying from 200 to
400 pounds, but also in general ap.
pearance. The prevailing color OF
the animal when he has donned his
winter coat is a dark fawn inclining to
gray and fading to almost pure white
on the neck and under parts of The
body. Before the snow falls an edu-
Gated eye is required to distinguish
his form on the sombre gray of the
barrens. Occasionally what are
known as "red bulls" are seen, ami
mails of a dull yellowish color and
very large in size, distinguished by
spindling horns. Some caribou,
especially young COWS, are almost as
graceful as the deer, while others re-
semble an overgrown goat. They
possess variety of facial expression
bordering on the grotesque, some ex-
hibiting muzAe arched like that of
Percheron horse, others square,
massive nose like that of the domestic
COW, and others resembling the come
ly countenance of the Virginia deer.

New Paperhanging Machine.

A German inbentor with the in
genuity of a Yankee has invented a
paperhanging machine. 1t consists Of
a rod, upon which the roll Of paper is
placed, and'a paste receptaclaAwith a
brushing convenience is attached in
such a manner that the paste is applied
automatically on the back of the paper.
The end of the wall paper is fixed at
the bottom of the wall, and the imple-
ment rises on the wall in such q man.
ner as only to require that it be set By
one workman.
The paper, as it u1rolls, is held fat
against the wall and an elastic roller
follows on.the outside, which presses
it firmly and with exact smoothness to
the wall. The final operation is when
the wall paper reaches the top, the
workman now pulling a cord, whereby
She paper is cut off from the roll.

Renewing Old Seed.

Very interesting experiments are
being conducted at the Amherst
Mass. station in bringing to life
seeds which are too old to sprout well.
1t is hoped that tests will eventually
lead to results of great commercial
value. Nothing has been published
on the matter as yet, and the Bllow-
ing is the result OF an interview with
Messrs. Stone and Sharp:
Old seeds kve been treated with a
two per cent. solution of asparagin. o
vegetable extract obtained from Ger
man chemists, and the result has been
to increase the terminating power
greatly. Seed which before treatment
showed only fifty per cent. of germi-
nation with one-half worthless, after
treatment showed ninety eight per
cent-of geNpination and only two per
cent. which failed to sprout. Since
asparagi2 at present costs S1.5o per
ounce, tie method is not profitable
for ordinary seeds. But seeds of new
varieties and certain flower seeds
which are actually quoted at more
than their weight in gold NM sht be
treated this way Xith profit. Expert
menters gre in hopes Of finding a
cheaper way of making this article
for treating the seeds. New England

Spraying the Currant.

The varieties of the red and white
currant, Ribes rubrum, usually shed
their leaves very early-often before
the end of summer. This early drop
ping of the leaves has not been rec
ognized by all as the result of disease,
and currant bushes often fruit well in
spite of it. Some years ago thA4x-
pertinent was made at our station of
spraying currant bushes with the Bor-
deaux mixture and ammoniacal copper
carbonate solution in early spring,
and the applications were repeated at
intervals until June l. The result
showed that the sprayed bushes re-
tanned their foliage considerably
longer than those not sprayed, but
the fruit was so badly soiled that tM
treatment was not considered prac-
ticable and so it was abandoned.
The last season the experiment was
made of single spraying with Bor-
deaux mixture after the harvesting of
the fruit, and the result was striking.
The early dropping of the leaves of
the red and white currant III due to an
attack of fungus, Septoria ribes, and
our experiment the last season seems
to show that this disease may be very
largely prevented by spraying tho
bushes after the fruit is harvested.
The premature dropping of the leaves
reduces the vigor of the plant, and
doubtless tends to the production of
inferior fruit.-E. S. Goff. in CouDtry

Father Leaves Him 100000.

Thomas Palmer, of Priceburg, a
small mining town, near Carbondale,
Penn, inherits $4,000 by the death
of his father, in Canada, a year ago.
The father came to America many
years ago and settled in Canada. His
family in England never heard from
him, and it was generally believed
that he was dead. His son came to
Pennsylvania few years ago and
settled in Priceburg. Several months
ago, in casual talk with an acqueint.
ance who had travelled in Canada, he
learned that a man who he had reason
to believe was his father lived in small
town near Toronto. Last summer
young Palmer went to this town, and
while walking in front of the mansion
where he was told his father lived, he
met an old man who, seeing Palmer
look closely about the place, inquired
his business. 1t was soon told, and
then there was a joyful meeting

Tho Greeks and Romans.

The ancient Greeks lived almost
their entire lives out of doors. Their
artificial environment, their houses,
their dress and their food was not such
that it required the major part of their
energy to secure it. Thus leisure was
afforded for the cultivation for the in
tellect and the Greeks, largely through
the conditions of their climate, became
the teachers OF the world. Before
them the Egyptians, in the valley of
the Nile, under soft skies and in the
mild climate of that favored dgion,

intellectual riches that have descended
to our own times. The Romans, in
Southern Europe, had reached high

opment while the TRIBES of Northern

her purse, relates q writer II Ilt-bitt.
At one of the stops there came into
the bus man who sat down beside
her. She thought of her well-tilled
purse. and resolved to watch him
closely.
Suddenly her suspicious neighbor
put his hand down at his side. She
felt it slide down until it touched her
purse, and instantly she put out her
own hand and seized the stranger by
the wrist. He did not struggle, how
ever, and she was in some perplexity
as to what she should do next; but
she thought that if he should attempt
to get away she could at least show
that she had him by the wrist with his
hand in her pocket.
She said afterward that she could
not tell why she did not give an alarm
at once, but she sat quiet, waiting for
her neighbor to make the first move.
They rode ON in this way for some
distance, when to her ama2ement the
stranger prepared to rise.
"If you will let 60 Of my arm,
Madam" he said, with the utmost
coolness, 81 will get out here"
He half rose as he spoke, and, to her
utter confusion, the lady discovered
that his hand, instead of being in her
pocket. was thrust into the pocket OF
his own ulster. The garment hung
down so far that his hand had pressed
against the purse without being in
contact with it, and she had been
holding him by the wrist with no ex-
cuse whatever.
She was overcome with confusion,
but managed to say that she had
thought his hand to be in her pocket.
The stranger smiled and went out,
while gentleman near by leaned for
ward to say:
Don't you know who that is,
Madam? That is the Rev. DR.. Blank"
The name was that Of one of the
best-known clergymen in London.

door of the Supreme Court in Brook

added I'D" to the word "die," and
went on his way rejoicing. Next day
a person who makes practice OF

Brooklyn and processes acquaintance
with every well-known man in the
vicinity dropped into the clerks Of

'See here" he said, "when did

"What's that?" demanded the as

"When did Sine die? I see the
