Planning Tree Seeds. 8

Apple seed and plum and cherry pits
can be kept in the cellar in condition
to grow with proper attention to water
Ing. But IN any 1sa:nRry dry cellar the
sand gets too dry to prepare the seeds
for terminating the first season. 1t is
much safer to bury outside, where they
willshave regular moisture and more or
less freezing and thawing. 1t is also
safe to plant these seeds and pits in the
fall If properly managed. Cover the
seed at least three inches deep in drills
by mounAng two inches about the sur
face. Early in spring rake off the
mound. leaving the seed one inch deep
with mellow surface for a seed bed.
In this way the surface is not packed
and the plants will make larger growth
the first season than we secure with
spring planting.-Farmers' Advocate.

Buff turkeys probably resulted from
selected crosses Of the bronze and
white breeds. In size and general quail
tiles they resemble the White Holland
but with pure buff plumage. The full
color is hard to get and every hatch in
cludes birds with black or white in the
plumage This difficulty is perhaps the
chief cause Of lack of popularity. Buff

A New Hybrid.

"A New hybrid.
The Brazilian minister at Washington
has communicated to the United States
department the fact that Baron de
Parana in Rio Janeiro has succeeded in
producing cross between the zebra
and the mare, a hybrid which is much
larger and handsomer than the mule.
The male used Is what is known as
Burchells zebra, native Of South
Africa, which is naturally less wild and
more tractable than the mountain
zebra. and which has been SO far do
mesticated as to work in teams of six,
eight or more together, or with the
same number of horses, though it does
not work kindly singly or in pairs, as in
its native haunts it went in large droves
for protection against other wild
beasts. The baron claims that they are
more docile and gentle than the ortlin-
airy mule, quicker, softer mouthed, with
no tendency to kick, remarkably
sprightly, have extraordinary muscular
strength, and are much less subject to
disease and far easier cared for than
the mule.

Not many farmers bother themselves
about the weeds that grow alongside

not many road oyerseers care whether
the weeds grow on the roads or not;
but these same weeds produce seed and

panies IN the State reporting to the

many of these are local corporations

great part of Iowa railroad mileage
Is owned by the Chicago. Milwaukee

systems; the Chicago, Burlington and

The biennial report of Richard O.
Barrett, State superintendent of public
instruction, is full of important recon-
mendations to the Legislature. Mr..
Barrett recommends that the LeGisla-
ture appropriate money TO found three
new normal schools. one each in the
northwest. southwest and southeast
corners of the State; that these be To-
Gated by commission. He names no
specific sum of money to be appropri-
ated. He says that the State normal
ana the twenty-seven private normal
institutions cannot furnish enough first
grade teachers for TIE city and town
schools, to say nothing of the rural
schools. in which 20 per cent of the
pupils are. Mr.. Barrett, pursuant to
directions of the Legislature, reports
on his investigation of plans for estab-
fishing school district librarians. He
'favors the Wisconsin plan, under which
10 cents per pupil is set aside from the
school funds each year, in each dis
trict, for Investment in books. These
he would have maintained as a circu-
lating library for the district Prof.
Barrett strongly urges the township
plan OF organization for rural schools
and making the township the unit In
stead of the sub-district. This, he
shows, would make 1t possible to have
graded schools In rural townships, the
pupils being transported from distant
parts at the expense of the township.

not believe In depending implicitly on
any medicine for cure, but we do be-
iieve that ia bottle OF Chamberlain
