Burning Orchard Brush.

Many good orchard has been rem
dered largely unproductive from year
to year because the owner did not
keep the old dead trees and limbs
cleaned up. A good fire of orchard
brush once year will have wonder
full effect in protecting the fruit trees
from insect and fungous diseases, and
this will be especially the case if the
orchard be at a considerable distance
from other orchards. Of course, when
there is an orchard over the fence that is
permitted to become harbor for pests,
it is discouraging work trying to keep
ones own premises clean. Neverthe-
less, in any case it must be done, but
it can be done with more hope OF
good results in the one case than in
the other.
In human diseases of a contagious
nature, it has been found that the
greatest barrier to their advancement
is cleanliness in all surroundings, and
the same is true in the orchard. If
the work has not been done in the fall
before the leaves fell, the dead limbs
should be cut off in the spring and
burned, together with all the dead
wood that has fallen in the orchard
during the winter. The orchard
should lie more carefully raked over
than the lawn, for the reason that
some OF our orchard pests live over on
those that have fallen. This gathered
brush should not even go to the wood
pile, if the latter is near the orchard.

Polo and War.

The cheerful and undaunted spirit
that can play polo at such trying
times is doubtless admirable, but all
the same after the war is over, or
possibly before, the British may ask
themselves whether this universally
cultivated love of outdoor amusement
so excellent in itself, has not been
largely responsible for the inferior
professional training unquestionably
hampering the British military lead
ers. Has there not been too much
polo, or other things of its kind? Has
not civilian play taken time that
should have been given to military
work? And has not play filled the
minds of its votaries in the British
army with thoughts of cups and
matches and how to win them, in
stead of with the serious problems
which soldiers must expect to meet
and be trained to solve? We incline
to think it has.
We are satisfied that the British
army would today be vastly more
efficient fighting machine than if its
officers there had been less polo and
more "hay-foot, straw-foot.

New York City's Elevated Roads.

In 1871, the first section Of the ele-

1885,, 900. In 1882, the total had ris-
en- to 252,SOO,OOO; in 1892, to 453,2OO,-
600: while in 1890 it was still further
increased to 52s,22s,437, and rapidly
growing. These figures are for the old
city of New York, now known as
the boroughs Of Manhattan and
Bronx, and are for paying passengers
only. In 1890 there were transferred

Nests for LAYERS.

Many claim that the nest should be
on the ground, but all claims that
hens should have their nests Oh the
moist ground are but theories, and
unsupported by facts. What is re-
quired for The hen in winter is a snug,
warm location, while in the summer
she should have a cool place. The
best material for nest is dry earth on
the bottom, with chopped hay over
the earth. Then dust the nest, hens
and eggs with insect pow.lsr, put
small quantity of obacco refuse in the
nest and clean it out thoroughly
should an egg become broken or the
nest foul. The broken eggs will
cause lice quicker than anything else.
But first see that the hen has no lice,
then give her good eggs and she will
bring off brood if she has a warm
and comfortable nest. The nest should
be made movable, so as to be taken
outside for cleaning, and it should
never be placed where any of the fowls
can cause it to be filthy or roost upon
it. 1t should never be so high as to
compel effort to reach it, as the large
breeds will prefer 10 lay on the ground
rather than to reach o high nest,
even when footway is provided, to
say nothing Of the fact that
some of the hens learn to fly
over a fence by first learning to
reach high nest. Never have the
nest in barrel, or SO constructed that
the hen must jump down to it, as
broken eggs will be the consequence,
but rather to place the entrance as to
permit her to walk in. upon the eggs.
The nest should be placed in dark
position, or so arranged that the in
terror will be somewhat dark, which
will be a partial protection against egg
eating. For flock of one dozen hens
four nests will be sufficient. American

How to Succeed in Growing Onions.


At the outset, I would like to say
that success in growing the onion crop
is not possible without well-directed
effort. This means that the soil must
be we'll supplied with plant food, either
naturally or through years of manur-
ing and fertilizing. I do not mean to
say that there can be no good results
where the ground has not been es-
pecially prepared. have succeeded
fairly we'll where I have begun TO tit
the ground the first season of planting
crops, but when this is done would
suggest liberal application OF barn
ward manure. Plow this under deep
ly, using the joiuter.
This is good beginning, and when
the roots of the crop reach the manure
the plants will grow rapidly, if the
ground is fairly moist. This stable
manure, however, will rot be sufti-
cient, and it will be necessary to ap-
ply some quick acting fertilizer, as
nitrate of soda, to the surface when
the plants most need it. Be sure to
get ba.nyard manure that is free from
straw, as unrotted material interferes
with cultivation. Where an applica-
ton of fertilizer is made to the surface
of the soil, it must be we'll worked in
to give the plants rapid growth.
After the ground is plowed, great
care must be taken to pulverize the
surface thoroughly, for several rea-
sons. During the dry season, unless
the soil is we'll compacted and finely
divided, the air will get into the upper
layers and remove all the moisture, so
that there will not be any left to ger
inmate the seed. Ther clods choke
the tender sprouts until they are
smothered and never get to the sur
face. The ground must also be we'll
drained,- for if water accumulates dur
ing a wet time the seed will rot.
Next secure good seed, for failure
will surely result if this is not looked
after. 1 would suggest obtaining
seed of the latest improved varieties.
Drill in the seed as early as the ground
can be safely worked, as I find that
early sown onions are the best, es-
pecially where blights, mildews and
rusts are abundant. Ny onion field
has been wholly free from these pests,
but any field is apt to be attacked.
An extra effort must be made after
the seed is in the ground to keep
down the weeds, for if they once get
started it is almost impossible to
eradicate them, because of the small
ness OF the young onion plants. Go
over the ground often so as to form a
soil mulch and thus conserve the
moisture and keep the hard crust
broken up.-B. F. Underwood in
American Agriculturist.

Breaking the Surface Crust.

Very often heavy dashing rain
falls upon the lately sown field before
the plants appear. The soil if of a
clay formation forms hard crust and
often is so dense that the plant can
rot break through. If it does get up,
it is doubled anil twisted and not
healthy looking as it would be if the
conditions were normal. All the
farmer can do is to in some manner
break this crust. A light, slanting
tooth harrow will do it, but perhaps
The most effective tool is the field roll
Ter. 1t not only levels the surface in
proper manner for harvesting the
crop. but the pressure of the roller
breaks the surface soil in small atoms.
The plants that are already through
the soil now have plenty of room to
grow without pressure, but those not
through come up at once. There is
plenty of air and sunlight admitted.
and rain can easily reach the roots to
give the plant new life AID vigor.
