Horticulture.

II you are young beginner with
fruit, do not become discouraged at
the long list of varieties. You will
be perfectly safe in selecting the old
standbys. The Concord grape and
the Wilson strawberry are good
enough. Get these and strike out.
The pruning of peach trees should
begin before they are planted, and
should continue so long as they
produce. Prune the roots-the tap
root end the long lateals. If this is
done in the fall before they are
heeled in, the wounded services will
heal before spring, and root growt';
begin much earlier. When plant
ing, prune the top to a whip.
Let the young orchard contain
first a diverse supply suitable for
home use, for there is as much profit
in these as in those gathered for
sale; but do not plant any unless
you intend to feed and cultivate
them, for it will be useless.
There is decay in the foliage of
plants recently taken to the cellar,
and the moisture tends to breed
fungus on the unrtpened wood !;
Olloi CioIO, give viz C6lldE IL pIoHblIul
supply of air. Many of the old
leaves can be cut off to advantage.
The foliage of trees and plants in
the orchard and garden suffers much
more in time of drouth than that of
those in the woods. In the forests
nature has mulched the ground
thoroughly, and the moisture is re-
tanned about the roots a long time.
We can go to nature for proof that
mulching is profitable in both sum
mer and winter.
A thorny plant is not required for
a hedge, as it can be easily made
effective by running one or two
barbed wires through it; but let the
plant used be naturally a shrub, so
that it will not require constant
trimming, as does the Usage orange.
The Japan ounce and the purple
leaved barbary are promising plants
for such a use.

keep a half blood for this years
mating with any expectation that
the quality of the broods will be
maintained, for that is not the order
of things. nsss
1t is estimated that not third
of the young turkeys hatched in
this country live to be three months
old. This mortality is caused by
inbreeding and vermin. If but one
half of these losses could be pre-
vented, the saving and gain to the
farmers who make turkey raising d
speciality would amount to thous-
ands of dollars; the cost OF new
blood would be tritiing compared
with the benefits derived.
The increase in vigor in flock of
turkeys after a cross with a wild
gobbler is very noticea BILE, and the
effect is marked as soon as the young
are Matched. Half wild turkeys are
easier to raise, and entail less labor
and care. This vigor is noticeable
even in their children's children.
1t is easy enough to get eggs in
summer, but it is a different thing
when winter arrives. 1t is not un-
like trying to grow winter straw
berries; it must be done artifically.
He who has flock in charge must
provide for them as nearly as pos
sible the conditions of summer.

McClure's Magazine for January,
In two art Giles on the Lake sub
marine boat, gives It's readers the
double sensation Of inspecting u
really new and extraordinary in
vention and of following an equally
new and extraordinary adventure.
No man, since the days of Jonah,
has made a more curious voyage
than that which Mr.. Ray Sttnnard
Baker describes as taken by himself
and the artist w. d. Stevens In the
Lake boat; and since the creation of
Jonah's whale, no more curious
craft than the Lake boat, as Mr..
Lake himself sets forth it's prin-
ciples, powers and possibilities, has
been constructed. The boat drops
down to the bottom of the sea, and
there traverses the ground precisely
like an automobile road-wagon; and
from it divers step out through a
door on to the sea bottom, as they
might step out of house into gar
den, and go spading ard hoeing
among wrecks. Pictures drawn by
Mr.. Stevens from life illustrate the
articles.

The Newly Married Woman.

When woman enters the mar
riage relation her sphere of influence
is at once extended, and her horizon
is no longer bounded by the people
and circumstances of the moment.
She is building for posterity. In
the Joy and thoughtfulness which
characterize her mind in the new
relation there is prophecy of I'M
born generations. Her life is to
color other lives; her aspirations
are to fix, to great extent, the
position and future of husband and
family. If she is cultured, pure and
refined, these qualities will charac-
terize the home which she creates.
The higher the degree of her culture,
her purity, her refinement, the more
will these qualities characterize the
home of which she is the center.
The self that a woman takes with
her in her marriage is her real
dover. If her dover can be reckon
ed in numerals only, no matter how
many they may be, wrecked, indeed,
will be her husband, impoverished
her children. But if she possesses
industry, gentleness, self-abnega-
ton. purity and intelligence, COM
bined with capability, she is in her.
self a treasure of treasures.

UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE,
Dramatic Incident of the Luban
blockade Between the Porter
and the WinslOw.

Frequently in the anxiety to discover
whether the strange craft were friend
or foe without betraying her own pres,
ence torpedo boat was fired on by her
own friends, says Harper's Magazine.
The blockading squadron was taking
no chances of any kind of approaching
dark little craft and used the western
method of shooting first and nquiring
afterwards. In the excitement conse-
quent on the signal "Enemy's torpedo
boat sighted" even torpedo boats en-
gagged each other, This happened one
ment the signal was made, all the scout
ing vessels in the vicinity converged at
full speed toward the point where the
signal. stars had been seen. Suddenly
out of the gloom of the night and right
across the bows of the Porter rushed o
dark object, the sparks from its fun
nels and the dim outline marking II dis
tinctly as a torpedoboat. No ques-
tons were asked by the Porter, for we
knew no other torpedo-boat of ours
was on that section of the blockade.
There was heavy sea and dense clouds
of black smoke were sweeping down be-
tween us from our tunnels. This
fortunately caused the first shots TO
go wild, and instantly, in answer to our
fire, the night signal was shown. II
was one of our own boats that had
come from Cardenas with dispatches.
and she was looking for the flagship. A
joking apology and hearty laugh from
us all ended our little encounter and the
two boats parted. not TO meet again for
weeks-not until the Porter, returning
TO Key West from her cruise TO Porto
Rico. found the Winslow battle-scarred
and torn by the enemy's shell. her cap
tain wounded and her executive officer
and five of her crew dead. II was no
laughing matter this time.

Teaching the Minister.

In Stamford, Conn, two children
attended service at the church of
which Rev. Mr.. Vail is pastor. Mr..
Vail repeated the words: There is
nowhere, no place, that God is not. :"
In an audible whisper Pauline said
to her brother: He don't know
about it, does he? But I'll tell him
after church, Just as the preacher
descended the pulpit steps breath
less little figure caught hold OF him
and said pantingly: You don't
know about God, Mr.. Vail. He
isn't everywhere, like you think he
is, cause the Bible says: God il not
in the thoughts of the wicked.
That's why he don't always get into
me, but I'm going to try to be very
good this week, so he'll come. !"
And as Mr.. Vail took the bright
eyed little one tenderly in his AIMS
she added naively: "You don't know

The drone is male bee, and is fit
for no other duty whatever than that
of fertiliZing queens. His life va
ries according TO circumstances.
Should he meet queen in one of
his flights, and wedding lark take
place, he dies Immediately; if he
misses this halcyon opportunity he
may live to the close of the season
and be driven out of the hive to
starve, having lived a purposeless
life. There is but one mating each,
for the drOne and the queen; but the
drone dies right then, while the
queen lives on to see millions of her
offspring. The drone never works,
is feed from the general storehouse,
and has no sting.
Pure white honey comb, with very
little propelis on the wood of the
sections, denotes that they were
taken out as soon as filled and be-
fore being properly ripened. Some

is thus stained the better it will
prove to be.
Bees may be kept on a waste piece

Agriculture.

When times are hard and money
scarce the farmer should do Just as
other business men have done--cur-
tail expenses by reducing operations.
To best accomplish this confine Gull
tivation to a smaller area, and, by so
doing, get larger crop an acre at
less expense. .H. H.
A farmer can not become a thor
oughbred without some systematic
education in the line of his calling;
it does not follow, however, that the
race of thoroughbreds will need all
graduate from some school of agri-
culture
A stitch in time saves-ninety
sometimes. This is literally true
with the farm harness. A good win
ter day Job consists in going over the
harness with q repair kit and in
mending all places which begin to
show signs of needing it. ..w y.
Farmers are hardly as familiar
with the paint brush as they should
be. There is work for them, not
only outdoors, but within, and much
of it can be done on an idle winter
day. Paint is cheap, while wall pa
per is disease breeding, microbe
harboring makeshift. The one is
more cleanly and cheerful, and can
be renewed often. 1t can be washed
when dirty, or applied afresh when
it becomes dingy. Paper and its de-
,caying paste are always crumbling.
When sowing grass seed it is well
that the field be gone over twice, in
its two directions, using half the
seeding be procured; then drag with
q light brush harrow. Do not for
get the roller, for the packing of the
ground around the seed procures a
higher percentage of termination,
and the firming and packing of the
surface prevents rapid escape of wa
ter, and, therefore, less loss by dry
ing out of the young seedlings.
An old stump in the road or the
field is nuisance, and you have run
up against it too many times. Get
rid of it this winter, in some way.
It occupies ground and gives no re-
turns.
We see it reiterated again and
again that of the corn crop the
slower is worth 40 per cent. of the
whole, and is as valuable, pound for
pound, for cattle, horses or sheep as
the best mixed clover and timothy.
If we can grow our grain and this
valuable coarse product on the same
acre, may we not expect far more
profit than if we could utilize the
grain only, representing but go per
cent. of the value produced?
Manure will not nitrify rapidly in
the light; that which is spread upon
the surface must wait until the rains
wash it into the soil. In the spring
the grass may so shade it that the
organisms can work but if plowed
under moisture and heat will be
suitable for forming it into plant
food rapidly.
The farmer must prove himself a
philosopher these days, and his
realm is from potato bugs to high er
plant life. His secret is now in
planting, rather than in harvesting,
and he has turned the business OF
his fathers upside down.
