Hints on Watering Flowers.

In potting the plants a quantity OF
broken pottery. brick or any similar
material should be placed in the bot
tom of the pot for drainage, and some
sand incorporated in the soil. This
will prevent the soil from becoming
soggy from Overwatering, or any
water remaining longer than necessary
about the roots in the bottom of the
pot. Each time you water give sutt-
cient to saturate thoroughly all the soil
in the pot. then do not give any water
until the soil at the surface begins
to look somewhat dry. The habit of
giving a little water each day, wheth-
er necessary or not is detrimental 10
the health of the plant Plants will
dry out quickly in the house, especial
ly if the temperature is little higher
than is best. To avoid this, set the
pots in saucers in which there is about
half an inch of sand.-Robert r. Nc
Gregor, in the Woman's Home Com

Keeping Chestnuts For seed.

Chestnuts may be readily kept by
mixing the nuts with clean. moist sand
and burying them In some dry place In
the open ground. IL Is best 10 put
them in small boxes. They need not
be buried below the reach Of frost, but
merely deep enough to prevent injury
from every changing temperature.
Care should be taken 80 pick out all
imperfect and wormy nuts before the
seed is put away for winter. Some
recommend keeping them in a fairly
dry place in the house. This method
Is not always satisfactory. as the nuts
are liable 10 dry up, and by spring
time become Incapable of termination.

Treatment OF "a NeSlecleu oTChdths
4 correspondent in West Virginia
wants 10 know what he shall do for n
very large apple orchard which has
been much neglected. and which |
should like to improve and reset What
is the proper time of the year to trim,
dig about, around and spray the trees,
and is wood ashes or stable manure
best to apply
If this orchard is not an old bearing
one il will doubtless be wise TO reset
with young trees, two or three years
old. where there are blank spaces.
This should be done this fall or early
next spring. AS the orchard has been
badly neg, 'Cted it is doubtless in weeds
or grass, or both, and the entire sur.
face of the soil should be plowed at
once. in so far rs 1t can be done with
out injury TO the trees by very deep
blowing or chatting the branches or
trunks 10y the harness or tools. II Is
not so essential that the space under
the trees be plowed as that further out
and between them. The feeding roots
are mostly beyond the ends of the
limbs. If the plowing cannot all be
done this fall. finish it early in the
spring. Then keep il stirred all the
next growing season with cultivators,
harrows, etc, and by this means in
duce a good growth of wood and fruit.
As to manuring. there is nothing bet
ter than wood ashes and stable man
ure. There is scarcely any danger Of
getting too much on the ground. The
potash and phosphoric acid in the
wood ashes are highly beneficial, and
the nitrogen and humuS in addition
contained in the stable manure will act
very advantageously.
There is danger of an inexperienced
hand doing too much pruning in neg
lected orchard. This one doubtless
needs considerable pruning, but there
can be too much done at once. Only
the branches that are very low, cross
| or lie too close to others should come
