MULCHING ORCHARDS.
The Only Mulch They Should Receive
Is That Made by the Harrow
and CuItiyator.

It is a common thing for the farmer
with a surplus of straw to be at a loss
what to do with it, and for him to
conclude that the orchard is the best
place to haul and spread it. He ar
CUES that it will act as a mulch and
conserve moisture for his trees, and
ultimately be converted into humus
which will improve the land.
In this he makes three mistakes:
First, straw, which is given the the
oretical value of three dollars a ton
when used as fertilizer, is worth little
when spread out thinly and allowed
to decay slowly as in the orchard. 1t
loses it's nitrogen. Second, it fur
nishes excellent hiding places for
mice, rats and other pests, which may
cause great damage by gnawing the
trees. This is particularly noticeable
in young orchards. Third. and most
important, it does act as a mulch, but
in such a way that the surface layer
of the soil is kept moist at just the
time of year it should not be, namely,
the early growing season. This en-
courages the growth of roots close to
the surface, a place that is dangerous
to the life of the tree, because in a
very dry spell there are insufficient
deep growing roots to supply the tree
with moisture, and the surface has no
moisture in it. 1t would be better to
sell the straw at Il loss. This would
not mean the loss of the orchard as
well as the straw, if used as mem
toned above. But some extra stock
may be utilized to eat up or trample
down the straw and thus make ex-
ira manure and litter. This will save
the straw, the orchard and the ma
nure. The only mulch that the or
chard should receive is one made by
the harrow or. gang plow and cult
vator. This will make the roots go
deep and thus fit them to withstand
dry time.-M. G. Kains, in National
Rural.

MAY BECOME A BARONESS.
Widow of Magician Hermann to
Marry Wealthy Russian Captain.

1t is probable that Mrs. Adelaide
Hermann, widow of Hermann the ma
gician, may be a Russian baroness.
Baron Ivan Svenorak 0rskevitch, of
the Russian cavalry, holding the posi-
tion of captain and large of wealth,
as mentioned as the man who is to
marry the charming widow.
Back Of all this there is a romance.
The baron is a widower. Hermann and
his wife visited Russia. They were
entertained by Baron Orskevitch, who
was charmed with the magician's wife.
The Hermanns left Russia and Her
mann, in the height of his career, died.
For some weeks Mrs. Hermann has
played in vaudeville theaters in the
far west.
The baron found time to run over
from Russia to San Francisco and come
east, closely following Mrs. Hermann
to New York. When she came back
she wore magnificent diamond and
sapphire ring. To a close friend she
confded that the ring meant an en-.
Tauement.

Pruning the Peach Trees.

The peach trees may be pruned
early, and with some trees it is very
beneficial to cut them out literally.
No old wood should be left on a peach
tree if the branch is dying, on which
such old wood can be removed to al
low new buds to grow. Some growers
cut off one-third Of each tree every
year, claiming that by so doing only
one-third is left bearing, one-third
producing wood for the next year
and one-third producing buds for fu-
ture growth. Peach trees must be
cultivated and the ground kept clear
of weeds and grass. Diligent search
must be made from April to October
for borers.

The new substance carbide" in ap-
pearance resembles dark granite and
as ordinarily crushed the pieces aver
age about the size of egg coal. Carbide
IS inert, will not burn, is non infam-
mable and can be handled in any guam
tity with perfect safety. Calcium Car
bide is produced by the fusion and re-
duction in an electric furnace of a mix
ture of finely ground and intimately
mixed lime and coke.
There have been passed and pro-
nounced safe by the Boards OF Fire In
surance over eighty different kinds Of
generators for producing Acelylcne
from the union OF Calcium Carbide and
water, and the sales of Calcium Car
bide for a single day have been in ex.
cess of SEQ tons.
When IT is considered that less than
four years ago there was not an Acctv-
lene generator on the market and the
very name Acetylcnc itself was un-
known outside of technical chemical
laboratories, this progress seems truly
marvellous and is cXplainable only by
the fact that Acetylene is truly an cx-
traordinarily brilliant, cheap, safe
and satisfactory light. that il pos
sesses many advantages not common TO
any other artificial illuminant, and
that it reaches and appeals TO a class
OF isolated consumers in villages and
on farms away from gas and electric
mains and supplies-a long and sorely
felt want.
Acctylcne is produced by the simple
combination Of calcium carbide and
water, the former is now procurable
readily and at small cost. Any me-
chanic can install the generator Any
member of the family can manipulate
1T. 1t causes no odor, SCOT, or smoke.
The flame from the Acetylene is clear
and brilliant, the very essence of light.
Owing to its richness it is consumed in
very small burners. An Acctylene
flame the size of thumb nail gives as
much light as an ordinary flame from
city gas thirteen times as large.

cream which each cows milk affords
ought to be known to the dairyman.
He can gain the information by the
Babcock test, or approximately by
by setting q1art of the milk in a
straight-sided vessel and noting the
proportion of cream to the whole
depth. Then with record of the
amount of milk given by each COW, the
value of her weekly and monthly prod
net becomes instantly known. Have

Starting the Onion Crop

When making the onion plat use the
"sGts" instead of seed and set them
in the rows as soon as the frost leaves
the ground. They may be about three
or four inches apart in the rows, but
for large kinds more room may be
given. Begin working them from the
start, and especially after rain, to
prevent them from being crowded
with grass and weeds. Where the
maggots attacked them last year such
land should be given over to peas and
