II 1t becomes necessary to water
the plants in the vegetable or flower
garden, or seems desirable to do so,
remember that what they will receive
the best results from is not just a
sprinkle, that will lay the dust and
moisten the surface Of the soil so that
1t may bake up hard and dry, and be
worse than before, because it cannot
absorb moisture from the atmosphere
during the night, but they need a soak
ing Of the ground that will wet down
to the lower roots, and even tempt
them to strike down deep after more
moisture and more fertility. We never
found better results from water than
when we put a tile drain down about
two feet In raised mound In the
flower bed and turned our water into
that. While before 1t had been the
first place to dry up in summer, after
that was done the plants always grow
luxuriantly. 1t was an example of
sub-irrigation. While we were doing
this we could see other gardens where
the sprinkler ran for hours every day,
seldom wetting an inch below the sur
face, and the plants dying or failing
to produce, because the soil never got
well saturated with moisture. When
q rainy day came the surface was usu-
ally so baked up that 1t soaked up no
more water than would penetrate the
shell Of a turtle, When the garden is
to be irrigated give water enough to
cover the surface about an inch deep,
allow 1t to soak in, and when the sur
face is dry stir 1t enough to give dust
mulch all over 1t.

which / have never before heard of.
1t is the business Of raising pigs to sell

1t is reported that the clover hay
worm, which has never been very
troublesome In the Eastern States SO
far as we have learned, is proving a
decided pest in some Of the Western
States, where alfalfa is principal
crop. Those who buy Western clover
or alfalfa should take care that they
do not take this work home with them,
or If n few are found should shake
them out of the hay, sweep them up
and burn them. 1t is not the amount
of the hay that they eat which causes
the loss, but the fact that they foul the
hay with their eXcrements until cattle
reject it unless starving, and even
when eaten II is unwholesome for
them or for their milk. Looking
mouldy and as If full of spider webs
or long threads, every lock in which 1t

History Of a Thunder Storm


In pamphlet by Alfred F. Sims,
prepared for and circulated by the
General Electric Company, there is
given some interesting data about the
history Of a thunderstorm, from which
the following is taken:
The attendant phenomena Of a thun-
derstorm vary considerably, but are
usually as follows: First, cirrus haze
appears in the morning. Then dark
clouds are seen lying low In the west.
ern sky, usually In the afternoon; the
air is warm and sultry Later on the
clouds mount to near the zenith, and
the air near the ground "a solemn
stiffness holds" The clouds on the
front Of the thunderstorm are grayish
white or reddish and hang over and in
front Of the main rain cloud. Above
these dense dark gray and violet Gu
mulo-stratus clouds are seen, also the
towering cumulus clouds which are
separated from the cumulo.stratus.
Often these are lnterspersed with one
or more thick cumulo-stratus cloud
layers and above all is the widely dis.
tributed cirro-stratus.
The herald Of the storm is heard be-
fore the cloud reaches the zenith, and
the first rain commences after IL, The
interval between the first thunder and
the beginning Of the rain varies from
a few minutes to half an hour or more,
About five minutes before the rain be-
gins there comes from the west or
northwest a brisk wind which sud
denly increases In violence and be-
comes a squat.
The time Of heaviest rainfall varies;
sometimes it occurs at the beginning
ana sometimes In the latter part Of the
time the rain cloud draws over local.
ity The lightning strokes and loudest
thunder occur some minutes after the
rain begins, Gradually the western
horizon loses Its dark aspect, lightens
up little, and finally opening clouds
appear The storm clouds pass by
overhead and the rain ceases shortly
before their western edge reaches the
zenith. The last thunder is usually
heard after the rear edge Of the cloud
has passed to the zenith. The usual

Growing Forest Trees.


Those who desire to grow forest
trees Of any kind for shade or orna-
mental trees should remember that
there is no better time to gather the
seed than when 1t ripens upon the
tree, and no better time for sowing it
than that when 1t would be self sown
by falling from the tree, That is, IL
the tree is a native Of the place where
IL Is to be grown. If from q warmer
climate 1t may be necessary to start
the seed under glass, and protect 1t in
some way during a few Of the first
winters while 1t is small. At the Arm
old Arboretum by this method they
have acclimated and grown In this
way some trees and shrubs that are
not native here, and seldom found
north OF Mason dna Dixoa's line. The
seeds from these plants are more
hardy than those from Southern plants
and thus they can be made to endure
our colder northern climate, and the
northern limit of their growth is grad
ually being extended.-American Cul.

nunnIng Farm Machinery.

No man can be considered an ex-
pert in running farm machinery un.
less he attends to certain points In
managing the machines. First keep
every joint and bearing well oiled.
Next see that all parts which are
liable 70 collect dust are brushed
clean at least every time the team is
unhitched, and see then that every nut
and bolt is I'm place and holding the
parts snugly. Not only that, but If a
rattle is heard when at work, inves.
tigate at once and stop 1t, even IL 1t
is necessary to unhitch the team to
make It safe to work on 1t. Keep
all cutting parts clean and sharp, and
see that the draft is just right to be
as easy as is possible for both team
and machine. The man who does all
this will accomplish good work and
not injure team or machine.
