The late Charles Haddon Spurgeon
was not one OF those geniuses who
suddenly become revelation to their
friends. AS child he was exceed
ingly intelligent, and his subsequent
development was continuous. His
schoolmaster looked to him whenever
question had long gone unanswered.
One winters day, however, when
the weather was bitter cold, change
seemed to come over the boy. His
answers went wide of the mark. Soon
he dropped to the bottom of the
class and stayed there.
Tho teacher was puzzled; his prize
pupil seemed to have lost every spar L
OF Intelligence. But as he thought,
he noticed that Spurgeon at tho foot
of the class, sat right in front of the
stove. 1t took but o moment to re-
arrange the pupils. The head boy
was given the warm seat, and Spur
geon was placed next the window.
Then the questions began again.
The change was complete. From
that moment Spureeon did not hesi-
tate for the right answer. Five min,
utes later he was once more at the
head of the class, sitting in front oil
the stove. Youths Companion.

Those who warm the water for their
COWS, or some who DO so, say that the
COWS need to drink but once day.
With the water at temperature of
sixty degrees thoy will fill themselves
with enough for twenty -four hours,
and as there is no chilling of the sys-
tenn or the digestive organs, the di-
gestion goes along steadily, aud the
milk product is much greater than
when they are watered twice day
with cold water. We have no doubt
that COWS could become accustomed
to taking enough water at one time to
last all the day and night, but we
should prefer that they had it twice n
day il they were ours. We never had
COW that was good one for milk
that would not drink, and drink
heartily, twice every day i'll winter, if
the water was not colder than fifty de-
grees, and when we have had one that
would not do SO we always found her
neither prolific milker, persistent
mixer, or an easy fattener. Some
times giving such COW u little extra
salt in her feed will stimulate her
thirst so that she will drink more
freely and regularly. While it was
our custom to salt regularly we found
that some COWS seemed to want more
than others, and we tried to make
sure that each one had enough,
though sometimes after buying O COW
we found it best to limit her on salt
until she had been accustomed to
having it every day. Too much salt,
or the too much water they drank
aftcrward, would scour them to dis
agreeable extent, it not a dangerous
one. Boston Cultivator.

Importance of Pruning and Soil.

Excessive pruning is to be credited
Tor share OF the work OF destroying
the vigor of trees. Cutting away q
grent portion OF the branches, some
OF them often large ones, causes decay
Mt the point OF severing and is a
receptacle for insect pests. and the
destruction Of corresponding quantity
OF roots, which decay and give rise to
fungus growth. Merely rubbing off
superfiuous buds ms soon as they ap.
pear, or cutting cut diseased or de.
cayed branches, usually will be all
that is necessary in the line of prun-
ing, The other important point in
the process of building up tree is
proper soil. Perhaps from no cause
do trees suffer more than from lack of
support from the soil. Orchards are
too often planted on Indifferent
ground, because it is not so good for
cultivation; aud for this very reason
it is not so good for fruit-growing.
Soil in which corn will grow we'll will
produce fruit trees. But they must
not be left to grow aud bear fruit from
year to year, depending on the ma.
tural strength Of the soil. The corn
field is not so left, but is replenished
each year with more or less fertilizing
material; and so must the orchard be,
il healthy fruit-bearing trees are OBJ
tanned.
For a situation for an orchard, up
land, with rich loan soil, is best. II
it must be on wet or heavy clay soil,
it should be drained and supplied
with plenty of sand or loan, worked
we'll and deep into the soil. Loan or
allnvium, composted with manure
from the cattle stalls, is, in general,
a good fertilizer for the orchard, and
should be supplied every two or
three years, or oftener il needed. The
compost should be worked down deep
into the soil at the extremities of the
roots, and as deep nearer the tree as
can be done without damage to the
roots. Such management will insure
vigorous, healthy trees, that will not
so readily succumb TO disease. The
Epitomist.

An Example OF Forest Preservation.

In his annual address before the
Wisconsin Forestry Association, Pres
ident b. S. Hoxio said that we are not
in the dark concerning the preserva-
tion Of forests, because in the old
world it is no longer an experiment.
Bohemia is one OF tho most pcpulous
countries on the globe. Its climate
is cool with rather severe winters. As
a consequence large quantities of fuel
are used, most of which is taken from
tho forests that cover the mountain
sides. For many centuries these for.
ests have furnished fuel and building
material for dense population aud
retained nearly their primevnl area.
This is due TO the forethcught of the
government in ordaining that as trees
were cut down others should be plant
ed TO fill the vacancies. Now vast
stretches of dense forests cover the
mountain slopes.

Freighting by OK teams became so
important an institution on the plains
by 1852 that two companies with
capital of about $4,000 EACH made
the transportation OF freights from the
East over the plains and across the
mountains to California and New
Mexico regularly organized enter
prize. Alexander Majors. who is
known all over the West as the prince
of plains freighters, began freighting
in 1S4S on the Santa Fe trail with six
wagons. James Fuller began year
later with twenty oxen and two
wagons, on the Utah trail. In 1856
the firm Of Russell, Majors & Waddell
was formed at st. Joseph, Mo-, and by
1861 the firm employed in its freight
transportation to New Mexico alone
5000 men, 2300 wagons, nearly 500
horses, IS, 900 oxen and 5000 mules.
The capital invested at that time was
upward of 81 800, 600, and the profits
OF the business were enormous. The
United States paid $270,00 to
Russell, Majors & Waddell in 1860
for freighting to army camps. and
even more during the days of the
Civil War. The company formed by
James Fuller for transportation of
merchandise, army supplies and
hides over the Utah trail did a smaller
business because the transportation
facilities by the Isthmus of Panama
formed a great competing factor in
the California freight business.
Nevertheless the Fuller Company en-
ployed oxen, wagons, horses and
mules that represented value of
300, 600 in 1859.
