NEW THING IN EDUCATION.
DR.. Flynn's Transformation Scheme
Promises Astonishing Results.

We have a promise OF something new
in education which. II Is to be hoped,
will prove TO be most useful in Amer
lea, and the world than the scores of
new things in education which have
been overrunning our schools and en-
loving their brief day for these many
years.
Abraham Flynn, who is connected
with Harvard college. and writes LII.
D., after his name and who has been
making psychological researches at
long range, as it may be inferred, has
succeeded in convincing himself that
by a series of mental impressions the
most indolent, uneducated person may
be transformed into an intelligent, cul-
tivated citizen" TO borrow the classical
language of a Cambridge dispatch.
With a view TO convincing others as
well as himself, DIR. Flynn has been
to that well known haunt OF the saw
age. Niagara Falls. where he has sue
ceeded in capturing one little Indian
boy, whom he has carried away 10
Cambridge and upon whom he is going
TO make mental experiments.
Just what his course of treatment is
does not appear. II is merely stated
! that he is going to give the boy a spe-
cial course along an entirely new edu-
cational line and that he expects to
make a very elegant spoon out OF a
very unpromising horn.
( If il should prove to be a successful
] treatment the possibilities resulting
viii be immense. Not only can we
/ transform undesirable immigrants into
! desirable ones. at more or less expense
/ but we can make over the professional
| tramp into useful citizen.
] In addition to this. by beginning with
| the young we can cut off the source
of supply from which our prisons and
poor houses are filed, for we must
needs suppose that the new mode OF
! human transformation extends TO the
moral as well as the intellectual ma
! ture.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Do not any longer put off getting
your garden seeds.
Cut away old and dead portions of
the raspberry, blackberry, currant
and gooseberry bushes.
The average cost of growing an acre
of sugar beets in Colorado, exclusive
of rent of land, is about $50.
Sunlight let into gooseberry bushes
will reduce the number of those that
produce mildewed berries.
Make up a list of plants and bushes
needed this spring to keep up the as
sortment in your berry patch and to
replace the dead and dying.
Under proper culture and protection
from fire Norway spruce can in 25 or
30 years be grown of sufficient size to
furnish a crop of wood for paper pulp.
The berry patch can be cleaned out
now with less work than at any time
between now and this time next year.
Don't forget this till the bushes are all
leaved out.
A strawberry grower found that by
removing one-third of the berries from
the vines, allowing only the best to
grow, he got one-third more berries
by the measure, and that when sold in
market they not only paid for the
labor, but increased the profit.-Far1n-

PRUNING CHERRY TREES.
Until the Bearing Age Is Reached
This Operation Is One of Para
mount Importance.

Authorities on the subject have
fallen into the habit of saying that
cherry trees need practically no
pruning whatever" OF course this is
a general statement, which, like most
general statements, does not contain
all the truth or all the facts. 1t is
somewhat misleading also, to the in
experienced fruit grower; for he,
naturally, is inclined to apply such
a rule to every cherry trG on his
farm, regardless of variety, age or
condition. My own observation and
experience convince me that most
cherry trees need regular and sys-
tematic pruning until the bearing
age is reached After that, if the
first five or six years trimming has
been properly attended to, very little
if any pruning is required.
Commercial cherry orchards are
rarely seen in Michigan or Ohio, but
in New York state, California, Idaho,
etc., cherry culture has received
much attention. Personally l take
great pride and pleasure in little
block of so trees which l set with my
own hands four years ago. The vari-
cites are mostly Montmorency and
Early Richmond, with a few sweet
varieties such as Gov. Wood, Windsor,
Black Tartarian and Yellow Spanish.
For four years this little cherry or
chard has received the same care and
attention that my peach and pear or
chards have. Each spring the trees
have been pruned; each winter mod
crate amounts of stable manure and
wood ashes have been applied; each
year the orchard has been plowed

said it was Lumbago, and others that
it was Sciatica or rheumatism.

one cane, and after two boxes were
used 1 could walk without any help.

MAKING FARM HOrBED.
III You Have Neglected to Construct
One This Yenr Save This Advice
for Next Season.

The site for bed should be on q
slope facing south, and if sheltered
on the north and west by buildings
or grove so much the better. Mark
a space on the ground at least one
foot larger each way than the sash
to be used. Throw out earth to the
depth of two feet, which should be
done in the fall. Fill this with horse
manure having plenty of litter in it.
Tramp it down firmly. Make frame
the size of the sash, set it over the
pit, and put the sash on; If the
frame is built so the sash fits inside,
and cleats are nailed on the inside
inch from the top to hold it, the sash
cannot blow off or slip out of place.
The north end sash should be from
four to six inches higher than the
south end. Bank round the outside
of frame with horse manure. The
heat at first will be too intense, but
when it has subsidized to about so de-
grees put on five or six inches of
the best soil obtainable, and sow
the seed. Keep the temperature at
from 70 to rs degrees in the day
time, and do not let it get below 55
at night. At night it may have to
be covered with blankets or mats if
very cold. Do not remove sashes to
give air Immediately after removing
covering or the plants will damp off.
Make the hotbed about April and
sow in it tomatoes and peppers.
Sometimes it is best to start plants
in boxes in the house, then about
April 20 make a hotbed and trans
plant into it, giving each plant from
four to six inches space each way.
In this way tomatoes will be in bios
som when it is warm enough to. set
them in the open air, which Will
generally be from June 1 to 10.
Nothing is gained by putting them
out as long as it is cold and frost
may destroy them. Be sure to
give plenty of air on warm sunny
days. 1 lost fine lot of plants one
spring by neglecting to raise the
sash one morning, says the writer;
at noon when l went to look at them
they were all dead, scalded as if by
hot water. AS the weather becomes
warmer remove the sashes alto
gether in the day time, replacing at
night. A couple of days before set
ting in the open ground, water very
sparingly. Then take up carefully
with as much soil as possible and
transplant.-Farm, Stock and Home.

Club Root or Cabbage.

The treatment of this disease by
fungicides has not proved successful
up to the present time, and until some
better means of combating this pest is
found, the best plan will be to starve
it out of the soil by growing other
crops upon which it cannot thrive. The
same land should not be used for cab
bage and allied species oftener than
once in three or four years. All mate
rials, such as stumps of cabbage and
root trimmings of turnips, which are
capable of spreading the disease,
should be destroyed Midland Far mer.

A S spring medicine Peruna is a
II never failing remedy. 1t cleanses
II the blood through digestion, and
gives tone to the whole system by in

times called, which produces tired

result of a sluggish digestion.
The great popularity that Peruna

purifying this very important source
of that vital fluid.

A WISCONSIN PAPER ON
WESTERN CANADA.
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, One of the
Favoured Districts.

The following clipped from the cor
respondence columns of the Eau Claire,
(Wiscon,in) Leader, is but one of
many letters of a similar character
that might be published, concerning
Western Canada, the land of No. l
Hard Wheat and the best cattle on
the continent. 1t is a simple matter
to reach the lands spoken of, the Cana
dian Government having agencies es-
tablished at ST. Paul and Duluth,
Minnesota; Grafton, North Dakota;
Watertown, South Dakota; Omaha
Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri; Des
Mines, Iowa; Wausau and Milwaukee,
Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; Indian
apolis, Indiana; Sault Ste. Marie, and
Detroit Michigan; Toledo and Colum-
bus, Ohio, and by writing to or call
ing upon any of these Agents at these
points full information can be Sc
cured. This is great opportunity to
secure a home free of cost or if you
desire to purchase lands; they can be
bought now at prices much lower than
VIII exist in few months. But read
what the correspondent referred to
has to say of one particular district.
To the Editor of the Leader:
'The rush of the land seekers will
be to the prairie provinces of the Do
minion of Canada. The allurements of
a soil that yields 40 bushels of wheat
to the acre are too great to be resist
ed, and an immense migration from
this country may be confidently pre-
dicted. People here laughed at first
at the idea of any one leaving the
United States for Canada, but the Do
minion authorities knew they had
good thing and they stuck to it. Their
officials evidently knew the value of
printers ink. They spared no ex-
pense in letting the people of this
country know that these lands were
there and that they were exactly as
represented. They did more. They
sent out specimens of the crops raised
and samples of the grain. We have had
them here at four consecutive street
fairs, presided over by one of their
ablest immigration officers. This gen
tleman spared no pans. He explained
the value of the lands and the richness
Of the soil from morning to night to
all comers.
"All this told in the long run Sew
eral went up from here to spy out the
land, and, like Caleb, the son of Jepun
neh, and Joshua, the son of Nun,
brought back good report, and now
some ten families will leave here in a
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle
upon farms there, and others are pre-
pairing to follow. Of course many will
appear shocked at the idea of any
one leaving the stars and stripes for
the Union Jack, but patriotism is but
a nomenclature after all, and our ex-
perience has been that in nine hun
dred and ninety-nine cases out of a
thousand, man is the most patriotic
where he can make the most money
and do the most harm to those whom
he hates"

Standard Box for Apples.

A standard apple box has been

The box is to contain 2241 cubic inches

in order to conform to the different
varieties of apples. One size will be
10X11X121A inches inside measure and
the other will be 10hxl1x1s 9-16inches
inside measurement. The official
standard adopted by the association is
slightly over a bushel. Each box of
apples is to be branded "One bushel.'
The next legislature will be urged to
adopt a standard by law, coupling

and regularly narrowed. Spraying
(for the slug which attacks the
leaves) has been attended to; and,
early in August, the ground has been
"sec led down" to oats or rye or Grim
son clover.
The result is exceedingly satisfac-
tory. The cherry trees have made a
splendid growth, and are shapely and
thrifty and promising. l bought these
SO trees for about Sc four years ago;
to-day / would not take $100 for the
orchard. Indeed, if 1 am not greatly
mistaken, and if l live long enough,
I expect to see seasons when l can
market $1O0 worth of cherries from
these so trees. That is not an ex-
traordinary expectation, either. It's
fully within the bounds of reason,
judging from the yield and net profit
derived from occasional door yard
cherry trees in this neighborhoo
But, of course, to attain such sue
cess with cherries-or any other
fruit-the location must be right, the
soil and climate congenial, and the
details Of cultivation must all be at
tended to-. And, in my opinion, prun-
ing is one of the essential details. 1t
is true, however, that cherry trees
require much less pruning than do
other fruit trees. A very little suf-
fees. The accompanying photo en-
craving shows the amount of ''brush"
removed from an average Mont
moreney tree last spring. As you
will notice there were no ''big limbs"
removed; nothing but small and oc-
casional twigs and branches that
threatened to cross or grow inward.
BY pruning little every year, no ne
cessity for removing large limbs has
existed; nor should it exist
My aim has been merely to remove
surplus branches, which either hung
so low as to interfere with horse cul-
tivation, or which promised to make
the center of the tree too dense, or
which interfered with other branch
es. 1 have never headed back" the
limbs (as is customary with peach or
pear trees) and l have always been
careful not to shock the trees by
over-prnning in any one year. No
case of bark-burst or injury has ever
resulted from this pruning. The
sweet varieties of cherries, find, re-
quire less pruning than the sour va
rieties; and the Montmorency needs
less trimming than does the Rich
mond. Each variety has its own pc
culiar habit of growth, and should be
treated accordingly.-Walter E. An
