LITTLE LAND NEEDED.
gardeners Make Mistake when
They Try to Cultivate Too
Large Tract,

Persons engaged in various indus
trial occupations often grow tired of
them, and long to be gardeners and
fruit growers in the country. One of
the commonest mistakes is in regard
to the quantity of land required
What they have in their minds prob
ably nine times out of ten, is "buying
a farm" But large amount of land
is not needed by the amateur horti-
culturist. In general farming, when
land is to be devoted not only to till
age. but to meadows, pasture and
woodland, it is different. Yet the ma
jority of farmers have more land than
they can possibly manage to the best
advantage. Leaving out of the ques-
tion commercial gardening and or
charding on big scale by capitalists
who use machinery and a large force
of hired help, the best results from the
kitchen and fruit garden are obtained
from small areas intensively culti-
waited. Your pair Of hands must be de-
pended upon mainly to do the work:
the garden may often be expanded be-
yond the proper limit.
1t is easy for gardener to plant
much more in the sprir~ than he can
possibly well care for during the sum
mer. Amateurs are often tempte ed to
plant too much. 1t is not true that if
small garden, carefully cultivated.
pays well, one several times its size.
irditferently cared for will be pro-
portionately profitable. Small fruits
are very eXacting, and one person can
care only for limited areas as they
should be cared for. There is moth
ing in their restrictions and lmita-
tions deterrent to any one GesirOus of
engaging in horticultural pursuits. A
small amount of land can be obtained
in the country for small outlay. One
can cultivate Just such an area as his
physical strength permits, making
every inch Of it equal to the finest gar
den. with profit and satisfaction.-S.
Il. Reach, in Y. Y. Tribune.

LITTLE FRUIT NOTES.

Milding is new apple, much like the
Grayenstein, which is receiving some
attention in Maine.
Kill the tent caterpillars while they
are small and bunched-not half the
work it will be after they scatter.
The cantaloup growers should save
seed from the very best melons, for in
this way only can the quality be main
tanned or improved.
Spring is a better time to set out
trees than fall, but fall is better than
not to set them at all, remarks one
grower.
Mothtraps do more harm than good
in the orchard and catch more friends
than enemies, according to Missouri
horticultural authorities.

Pretty soon our libraries, books
and I'll, may he entirely fire
proof. 1t is stated that ex-
pcrmcn,s with aluminium as a
substitute for paper are now under
way in rance. 1t is now possible to
roll aluminium into sheets four-thou-
sandths of an inch in thickness, in
which form it weighs less than paper.
BY the adoption of suitable machin-
cry these sheets can be made even
thinner and can be used for book and
writing paper. The metal will not
oxidize, is practically fire and water
proof and is indestructible by worms.

II appears that Great Salt lake. in
Utah, is doomed. Weather bureau or
Great Salt Lax. cials announce that
the waters of the
lake are rapidly re-
seding. and that unless there is n large
increase in the rainfall of that region
the lake must eventually dry up. Lo-
cal observers declare that even an
increased rainfall would have no per-
manent effect in staying the drying
up process. The lake in the last ten
years has receded seven or eight feet.
Wet seasons do not seem to have made
much difference, the receding of the
waters going on steadily though slow
ly, year by year. The lake is the great
survivor of a large number of salt
lakes, some of them much greater in
extent. They flowed over large part
of the western and southwestern ter
ritory. and left behind in some in
stances immense deposits of salt,
which are now being converted to COM
mercial uses. There are spots not so
very distant from Salt lake where al
most pure salt can be dug up for many
feet below the surface, and the vast
alkali plains of the southwest were un-
doubtedly covered with salt water at
one time, 1t is supposed that Saltlakc
was once part of the ocean. The dry
ing up of the lake seems misfortune
because the lake has so long been an
object of interest and curiosity. 1t is
really useful, however, more for the
salt that can be extracted from its wa
ters than on any other account, and
these deposits can be more easily
worked after the waters have subsided
than now.

MUSHROOM ON A TREE.
Remarkable. Especially, In That II
Grew Out from Under the Bark
Of u Hard Maple.

A magnificent specimen OF the Val
varia Bombycina growing on one of
the trees in the yard of the BENJAMIN
Harrison school attracted great
many people the other day.
This particular mushroom. aside
from being exceptionally large. was
remarkable in that it grew right out
from under the bark of large tree.
Had the tree been an old and decayed
one, the growth of the mushroom
would not have been so much out of
the ordinary, but the tree is,a large
hard maple, and is in good condition,

Syracuse, n. V, has common
sense girl of whom it is justly proud
Foilinp n Lox.r., She has pointed
s.,.,, the way by which
the love-lorn and
suicidal swain may successfully be
dealt with. 1t will no longer be nee
essary for reluctant young women
to melt into the arms of ineligible
young men in order to save them
from self-destruction, or, in default
OF this, to suffer the blight of a
damp, unpleasant memory during fu-
ture years. The Syracuse young
woman dismissed her betrothed for
good and sufficient cause. The young
man went home, gathered all the let
ters and gifts which he had received
from her, wrapped them in paper
fastened with blue ribbon, and fixed
with seal, and dispatched them to
their source, together with a note in
which he announced that he was
about TO die, mentioning the method
by which he proposed to accomplish
his taking-off. When she received the
intelligence the strength of the com
mon sense girl appeared. She did
not scream, or have Mysteries, or
faint, nor yet did she fly to him, beg
ging him to relinquish his dread in
tention on any terms. Not at all.
She quietly handed the note to the
messenger who brought it, with re-
quest that he give it to the first po-
liceman he met. The result was that
lodged in Jail, to await trial under
the anti-suicide act.

Fertili.inu the Orchard.

There is reason for believing that
the orchard needs fertilizing even
more than the ordinary field crops. A
part of the fertilizing element of the
latter is returned to the soil each year.
The plant food that is taken up in the
orchard is taken away from the soil
forever. None is returned to II. It is
estimated that in single season an
acre Of apple trees will draw from the
soil 40 pounds of nitrogen, 3s pounds
of phosphoric acid, and 70 pounds of
potash. These must be returned or
the productiveness Of the orchard will
be lost.-Prairie Farmer.
