Foreign Flowers Bring New Insects.
AS birds carry the seeds Of plants
from one part Of country to another,
and even from one country to another.
so flowers and plants from other cOun-
tries bring new insects to this. Con-
cealed in the bud or blossom, they lie
dormant during the long voyage. but
when they reach land, where climate
and surroundings are congenial to their
growth and activity, they come forth to
establish themselves In their new hab-
itat. From Bermuda, for example, We
have brought hundreds of insects con-
cealed in the beautiful Easter lilies that
we import by the shiplOad. From far
distant parts Of the world We have
brought strange insects in the cup-like
blossoms of rare orchids, to secure
which hunters have rsked their lives.
Some of these insects live and multiply
| others soon die because their new sur
roundings are not favorable to their
survival

We are asked to name the most use
Eul varieties Of trees to plant in a farm
grove which is needed both for protec-
ton from the wind and as a timber lot.
AS this inquiry comes from the prairie
regions Of the northwest we will Try to
answer it with reference to that sec
ton. The question Of time in connee-
ton with tree growing is an important
one. for the best varieties Of timber
grow much more slowly than the poor
er ones. The European larch. the white
ash. hard maple and black walnut are
among the best of our forest trees. but
are slow in growing, while the cotton
wood. box elder. soft maple. white elm
and willow will make a very rapic
growth. bat have little value for tim
her purposes as compared with thos'
first named. A very successful way o.
planting such a tract is to alternate thu
rows. of trees. planting one half Of the
desirable kinds and the other half VIII
the quick growing sorts. the latter t
be cut as they attain sufficient size L
be Of any use. The black walnut o.
moist and alIuvial soils is a very prom
able tree to plant. but it will requlr
about City years to make it markets

Here is the way the writer secured
plenty Of nice radishes and lettuce at
least four weeks before they could be
taken from tile garden: The middle OF
March we hauled lot Of manure FROM
the yard and piled it in a corner of the
garden to rot for next falls use. We
leveled this pile Off and tramped it as
solid as possible. then took two sixteen
foot boards foot wide with ends four
feet long and made a frame. setting i
on the manure. then filed in five Inches
with earth and threw Oh some old sash.
1t got well warmed up in two days ana
then we sowed the seed and were well
paid for the trouble. 1t did not require
over two hours work all told. Besides
we got fine lot Of tomato and cabbage
plants. This any one can do. and it is
well worth doing.

him why he did not make his own

he did not know how to kill and dress

SOME CHANCE IN FIFTY YEARs.

The first p.owing we ever did was in
1888, and the rig was pair of old oxen
named Buck and Bright and a soft iron
piow which would not scour in clear
sand. We simply ruttled the surface Of
the soil. just as the Egyptians do today
1t was not pleasant work. and it took
all the Sunday school influence and the
parsons long sermon to boot to keep
us from falling from grace during the
week. We used to scrape the mold
board off at the end Of each bout and
tousled up about three-quarters of an
acre day. We have since driven three
sixteen hundred pound Nornans, haul
ing sulky plOw and turning over three
or four acres a day. and counted it the
most pleasant work there is to do on
the farm.

TUE WEEDEn

We shall try the weeder instead of
the corn cultivator this year. will give
the land some extra preparation be-
fore planting. and if there is not too
much rain believe we can care for the
corn crop with far less work and care
for it better than is possible in any
other way. STILL we may be fooled
The weeder is more a preventive Of
weeds than weed exterminator, if
we understand its mission rightly. SO
much ground can be covered with it
in day that if properly used there
should be no chance for the weeds to
get much Of start.

There can be no arbitrary rule for
the proper stocking Of a pasture. for so
much depends upon the weather, rain

one acre Of blue grass will be more
than enough for each head Of adult

bad for the stock. but it ruins the pas

The writer is a firm believer in the
use Of only the very hardest root sys-
TENS and trunks for the apple in all
the northwest country-trunks and
roots like those of the Duchess. Tran
scendent. Hibernal. which are fitted to
stand all kinds Of grief and climatic ex-
tremes. With such a starter, we then
believe in top working with the less
hardy types Of apples. which certainly
will do well when so grown. where
they would be a total failure when on
their own roots and trunks. Carrying
this theory out in a practical way. we
have this spring top worked 800 hardy
four-year-old trees in our orchard and
confidently expect good results.

lsny is being organized all through the

further reduced where the farmers can

work Of building the line themselves
Such system is of course not a com.
plete one unless the line is connected
with some central station which will
put the patrons in touch with those Of
other lines which is usually done
wherever practicable. The cost Of
maintenance is small, about the only
damage to be feared being from sleet
