the making of Indian relics. A man

makes them by hand, from old gun

a New annie Dlgease.

Apple growers whose orchards seem
to be running out or dying premature
ly may find an explanation of this un-
fortunate condition in Bulletin 1853 of
the New York Agricultural Expert
ment Station ,Geneva). This bulletin
treats of apple canker, disease new
to science but one which research finds
quite prevalent in New York and quite
destructive in certain sections and up
on certain varieties. Nearly all the
trees on ninety acres Of 1876 devoted
to orchards owned by two men at East
Bloomfield have been rem 1ered worth
less by the disease within few years;
aud many instances have been found
where it is badly damaging trees of
Esopus Spitzenburg, Twenty-ounce,
Baldwin, Wagener, Greening and other
varieties.
The disease is due to the same germ
rs that producing black rot of the fruit.
In this case, however, it attacks the
trees. Great areas of bark become
diseased, sometimes girdling the limb
or trunk, thus lessening the vitality
Or destroying the life of the tree.

The price of $91, 600 paid for Fly
ing Fox at public sale of the Duke
of Westminster's racehorses in Eng
land is said to be unexampled in the
history of the turf. Such price al
q time when the bicycle and automo'
bile have reduced the usefulness of
the horse aud even suggested its elm
ination, is suggestive of the enhanced
luxury of fine breeds. That may ex.
plain the high price of Flying Fox,
whose racing days cannot last much
longer. AS winner of the Derby and
st. Leger he had the highest honors
OF the turf, but even among Derby
winners he was almost peerless. Still,
in this case the price was paid fol
pedigree more than speed.

The Bohemians and Poles who come
to the United States to find work as
laborers have gathered together in
little colonies, where they live after q
makeshift fashion. The largest set

Utilizing the wind as stump,
puller is an Oregon innovation. II
was the idea OF the farmer at the
state penitentiary, whose task was to
clear the fr-timber from a sixteen
acre tract. He was given the winter
in which to clear six acres, but with
the aid OF the wind he cleared the
whole tract in six weeks, although the
timber was of dense growth, the frs
measuring from one foot to four in
diameter. The winds in that quarter
blow strong from the south in the win
ter. The farmer put his men at work
on the north side of the ir-trees, and
then cut the surface-roots OF tine trees
that were to be felled. These prepa-
rations were made during the first day,
and then the men went home and
slept while the wind did the rest.
During the night q strong south wind
blew the trees down, aud they in fall
ing across the logs pulled up the tap
roots. The next day the men sawed
up the fallen trees. burned the brash.
aud laid their logs for another lot ol
trees. They proceeded in this way
sntil ths saols grove had disappeared.

Testing Seeds.

The farmer or gardener should test
his seeds before planting or sowing
them, to see how large n proportion of
them will terminate. We know of no
better way to do this than to place
them between two layers of flannel,
which place in plate, moisten with
water and cover with another plate,
then set in a warm place where it will
not freeze nights, and keep the fan
mel moist. Most of garden seeds
should germinate in few days. Any
which do not appear within week
after the first comes may be consid-
cred practically valueless, for although
some might be more than week be-
hind the first, and ye. sprout finally,
where they start 50 slowly they sell
dom make vigorous plants. 1t is q
good idea to count the seeds put in,
say 100 of each for small seeds, and II
eighty to eighty-fve per cent. OF them
have put out good sprouts ct the end
of the test they are good seed, and
seventy per cent. is a very fair seed,
though we would not care 10 use any
that did not test up to that. OF course
the time before the first sprout ap-
pears varies with different seed. Let
tuce might como in three days and
some kinds of grass not in less than
three weeks. Carrots are said to ger
inmate better in the soil than under
this test, and the same may be true
OF bcets.

Orchard Notes.

Soil and location will change the
appearance OF fruit and also the quail
ity.
The head OF the,tree should be cut
back to correspond with the roots.
Mixed husbandry in gardening and
fruit growing is necessary to the best
success.
In pruning trees of any kind it is
better to have one strong branch than
two or three weak ones.
Whenever water is given to house
plants enough should be given to wet
the soil thoroughly.
A few apple and peach trees should
be planted every year in order to keep
up good supply on the farm.
Sod is protection to an orchard in
winter. 1t is an exceptional case
when It il best to plow in fall.
