Preserve Peach Trees.

The Missouri Agricultural College
Experiment Station has been conduct
ing experiments in peach tree culture
that will be worth millions of dollars to
orchard growers in the growth of peach
trees. Thirty had their boughs, trunks
and limbs painted white with q spray oil
ordinary whitewash
These whitened trees" said Prof
II. j. Waters, director of the station,
will be sure TO bear fruit next year,
while the other trees 10 the orchard may
not. 1t is simple experiment that has
taught valuable lesson. The winter
killing of peach buds is the result Of
freezing after the buds have been made
to swell by the warm weather during
the winter or spring The warm sun
shine will make the buds swell pre-
maturely, while the root of the tree
may be frozen dormant Shading and
whitening the trees prevent their alb
sorbing the heat on summer days aud
the forcing of the buds, as a protective
measure. Shading the trees is too ex-
pensive. Whitening them is cheaper
The natural color of the trees attracts
and absorbs the heat of the sun as black
earth absOrbs it, The white coating on
the peach trees repels the suns rays.
"Last year 80 per cent of the whiten-
ed buds passed the winter safely, while

Spraying Currant Bushes.

Having learned that while helebore
powder is death to insects, when laid
out my little flower garden some ten
years ago, bought a pound and began
operations on q few choice remontant
roses l had set out Believing that pre-
vention is better than cure, gave the
first dose with the earliest leaves Of
spring, having mixed one heaping table
spoonful Of the powder in a pail of
water, with two spoonsful of coal oil by
way of good weight. This I sprinkled
over the top of the plants by means of
an ordinary watering pot-only, that |
had had the rose made fiat instead of
rounding, as is the usual style, so as to
concentrate the flow Of water in place of
being spread out into wide extent of
struggling spray that has little or no
practical value.
This repeated once each two weeks,
and with such good results that no ma
rauding insect has ever shown its nose
on those bushes, albeit the roses all
round about are literally "skinned alive"
with the insect pests that devour them.
But this has not been all. During a
great many years | had observed that
by the middle of summer the limbs of
currant bushes were stripped of their
leaves 80 that nothing was to be seen but
unsightly bare limbs, looking more like
unto decay and death than the vigorous
green life that should obtain.
Necessarily, this would effect the
yield Of fruit, as healthy leaves must
be there to insure the proper fruition of
berries.
SO gave my two currant bushes a
like dose with the roses and, to my de-
light. with like happy results. Not a
leaf became discolored or dropped of
till Jack Frost got in his legitimate
work in the fall. And during the eight
recurring seasons there has been no
change from this. The leaves OF these
ourrant bushes retain their bright and
healthy green to the last.
And now another thing that has
helped the good crops of berries amaz-
ingly. Feeling sure that the limbs
were too thick, cut out nearly one
half, so as to let in air and light all
through, and trimmed the remainder
back one. third.
To the Amusement of all who saw
them, the fruit lay so thick as to seem
like a solid mass, and the lunches 30
full and large in berries as to look like
small punches Of grapes And these
excellent results pan out as regularly as
the years come on.

How to Grow Lettuce.

There is no vegetable more universal
ly used than lettuce. and yet the varie-
ties offered for sale in the markets arc
generally poor. being more on the snowy
order and then. often very much wilted
and very inferior to the head varieties
fresh from the garden. do not see
why every one who can do so does not
grow their own lettuce, which is the
easiest Of all vegetables to grow.
Lettuce should grow rapidly, and to
attain this end. it should be sown in a
rich, thoroughly prepared soil. For
early crop SOW under glass from Novem-
Der TO February and thin out as neces.
sary to prevent crowding. Keep at a
moderate beat aud give all the light
and air possible. For early outdoor
culture start plants in the fall protect
ing them as needed with frames, or start
under glass from January until March
and harden of before setting out in the
open ground. which should be done as
soon as the ground and weather will per-
init. For general crop SOW outdoors as
early in the spring as the ground can
be worked, in drills eighteen inches
apart and thin the plants out four
inches apart in the drill. As the plants
begin to get large thin them out as re-
quired, Sow at intervals from two to
three weeks, throughout for continu.
Gus crop.
Like other garden crops, thorough
cultivation is absolutely necessary The
two best varieties of head lettuce, in my
opinion. are the White Summer and
California Cream. black seeded, and for
a curled variety the Early Curled va
riety, the Early Curled Silesia.-Tri-
State Farmer and Gardener.

She Forces the Sultan of Oman 90 Cans
eel His Lease Of a COaling station TO
France

france
Bombay, February 23.-Important
details regarding the action of the
British authorities at Muscat, the cap
ital of the sultanate of Oman, have just
become public. 1t appears that the
news of the leaSe by the sultan Of
Oman of a coaling station to France on
the coast of Oman leaked out while the
British political agent at Muscat, Ma
jor Eagan, was i-bsent. He promptly
returned to his post, but the sultan
refused to furnish him with any infor-
nation. The commander of the gun
boat Sphinx thereupon dispatched a
lieutenant and armed party to the Ban
dar Jiosioh; but the sultan, hoping to
receive aid from the French, contin-
! ued to be recalcitrant. The arrival Of
the second class cruiser Eclipse, flag
ship of the East Indies station, with
Rear Admiral Drummond, threw the
| sultan's subjects into a panic, though
the sultan himself remained obdurate.
| During the morning of February 18th
| Admiral Drummond sent word ashore
that unless the sultan attended a dur
bar on board the Eclipse at 2 o'clock
| that afternoon he would lombard the
forts at 2:20 o'clock p. M. Notice Of
| the admiral's intention was sent to the
| foreign consuls and the town was
speedily in confusion.
The advisors OF the sultan entreated
| him to submit and the Eclipse took up
a position broadside to the town, while
the other British ships cleared for &C
ton. The sultan thereupon posted a
notification at the customs house and
! on the gates of the town, that the
agreement with the French was can
celed.
At noon the sultan sent mis- brother
on board the Eclipse, but the British
admiral refused to receive him as a
substitute. Just before 2 o'clock the
sultan of Oman, almost unattended
arrived on board the flagship and re-
NAMED there for three hours, while
the whole population lined the beach
and a~nxiously awaited the outcome.
The sultan, it appears, completely
acquiesced to the British demands and
handed over to Admiral Drummont
the treaty with France. On the fol.
lowing day the admiral went to the
palace, where a great durbar was held
and the sultan publicly repudiated hi
agreement with France.

Mr.. Petree took that view.
Mr.. Willard defended the tax. He
said it was not doubted, and was con-
stitutional.
Mr.. Petree asked Mr.. Willard what
the tax would raise and Mr.. Willard
replied 1850, 900 or $40, 00O.o
Mr.. Allen said it is held that fran
chise is property and is taxable just as
a road bed.
Mr.. Thompson, of Onslow, said he
wanted these great corporations to
bear their equal share of the burdens.
MI. Common asked whether the rail-
way commission would not take con-
sideration of this tax in making its
assessments. He said the valuation
would, therefore, be reduced.
Mr.. Willard said probably the OBJ
lection to this tax is that it is a per-
centage tax, instead of a lump sum.
MI. Craige took ground against this
vote for it; that it was in violation of
the principles of government; that it
was an indirect way of making the peo-
pie who ride pay tax; that to levy this
tax simply because railways have the
money and could pay the tax was
wrong.
Mr.. Cannon said he regretted to diff
fer with the committee, but he was
sure the legislature was about to in
sert a most dangerous principle. He
said this tax is not violative Of the let
ter of the constitution, but it violates
it's spirit.
At 2:3O o'clock the committee rose
and the house adjourned.
