HORTICULTURAL HINTS.


Leu luc CllluICH nave lTull freely.
Open the fruit cellar on cool nights;
shut up tight through the warm days.
An apple will not freeze unless the
temperature gets down to about rs de-
grees.
Do not forget that an apple that is
bruised, if put in with sound ones,
may start decay and eventually af-
feet the whole barrel.
We often hear the advice given to
heap earth around young fruit trees
in the fall, but we do not favor the
idea. Sometimes water gets in around
the stem, is held there and freezes, in
iuring the bark.
The man who has wei tried pIow-
ing under fruit trees knows that the
true way to trim such trees is to cut
the lower limbs off so as to give the
branches an upward turn. The time
to do this is when the tree is young
and its shape not yet fully determined.

Extinction Of the roiynes,an..

DR.. ID. &. Brinton calls attention TO
tlic extinction of the Polynesian tribes
inhabiting the Pacific atchipeiagoes. \
hundred years ago the Hawaiian islands
were said to contain 100000 native in
habitants; to-day they have scarcely
10000. The same rapid diminution has
occurred throughout Polynesia, and is
attributed mainly to leprosy, tubercu-
losis and evil ways of living.-Youth's

The afternoon nap is not a harmful
one, as many people think. 1t is a
physiological process, and as such is
perfectly natural. When digestion is in
progress nature arranges that all avail
able blood in the body shall be called to-
ward the digestive organs. This leaves
the blood supply of the brain at a low
ebb, and sleep is thus easily induced.
Brain work at such a time is wrong

The Chestnut Ii Going.

The former millions of wild pigeons
of Ashtabula county. o., says the JEFF
ferson Sentinel, are only known to the
"oldest inhabitant," and now the
chestnut, the king of all nuts for boys,
will soon only be known as a culti-
waited nut. Parties at Hartman,
Tenn, are preparing to locate a mill
for grinding chestnut timber into
pulp for tanning purposes. 1t is pro-
posed to consume 100 cords per day.
At this rate, and with the destruc-
ton the hard-headed borer is doing,
chestnuts to eat will soon be a thing
of the past. In the early settlement
chestnuts, it is said by early settlers
in Tennessee, were SO abundant that
the Indians, after burning the leaves
eff the ground, would pick them up
roasted anS sell them at the stores for
six and one-quarter cents per bushel.

CART AND INSECT CATCHER.

ly for passing between rows of plants
without damaging them, and the sad
die of the harness maintains the cart
in an upright position. Upon the thills
of the cart is mounted a metallic frame,
with lamps of any desired pattern
placed at the top and bottom and a
central screen of wire or cloth strung
between the rows of lamps. This
screen is coated with some adhesive
substance, and when the vehicle is
driven between the rows of plants at
night the lights attract the insects,
which. in their attempt to fly about
the flame, strike against the net and
are trapped in the sticky coating.
With a good horse a large field can be
gone over in a very short time. and
there is little doubt Of the saving of
many times the cost of the vehicle
in the curse of a single season.

The consumers of that useful fluid,
natural gas, will be interested to know
that the Chinese have a tradition that
the escape of too much of it from the
earth long ago caused the collapse of
a great portion of the Monaghan en-

the kind the Chinese lawgiyers of about
1000 years ago enacted a law compelling
the closing of all vents in the earth
from which natural gas was known to
escape, and that law is still on the stat
ute books of the empire. - Chicago
