S~assenheim. They say that the most of
the bulbs from which flowers are grown
in this country come from Holland. That
country Is peculiarly fitted for growing
these bulbs on account OF the nature OF
the soil and climate. These two H~ollanders
are making their annual trip through the
United States. they contend that the

Tomato Tree the Latest.
Washington Post.

dSlllIbN On LhSl.
Among the new fruits introduced into
southern California by agents Of the Ag-
r%icultural Department none are more curl
Gus than the tree tomato" a fruit intro
duced from the coast regions Of Peru. Spec
linens Of this fruit have recently reached
the chief Domologist in this city. The
tree tomato" is just what it's name i'm
plies, and no better term could have been
invented TO describe il. The tree is some
thing on the magnolia order, and the fruit
that IL bears looks like a tomato. has an
interior and seeds that one can hardly dis
tinguish from the tomato itself, while the
taste IS practically the same. 1t is one
among the strangsst curiosities OF plant
life. and is worth careful study.
Another strange fruit. introduced into
Florida from the West Indies. is the sea
grape This is the fruit OF a bush that
grows I'm the poorest soil along the barren
sea beach and nowhere else. The fruit
grows in large clusters. ike grapes. and Is
pale pink in color. In taste IL resembles
an apricot. though not quite so acid. An
other thing worth noting is that there Is
a revival In jujube culture in Florida and
California. This fruit grows I'm the Orient.
and from the fruit Is made the iuiube
paste. which, at one time. was Imported
into the United States in large quantities.

Philadelphia Press.
Another channe in which the Depart
ment of Agriculture is trying TO stop the
outflow of American money for products
that can as well be grown in this as in
any other region is in trying to encourage
mushroom culture in this country. In
France the growing Of mushrooms holds
an important place, and Paris is full of
factories where these "champignons'' are
canned for the export trade, millions Of
cans reaching this country every year.
Thus far no mushroom canning factories
have been established in the United
States, but as most lovers of good eating
room. there is money TO be made i'm grow
ing the fungi for the markets of the large
cities.
The Department Of Agriculture officials
state that more mushrooms are grown in
Kennels Square and Lansdale, Pa, near
Philadelphia, than in any other section Of
the Union, several growers in the towns
above mentioned raising from 5000 to TO-
OO pounds per year for the markets of
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
In France mushroom farmers make use
OF the large number of caves throughout
the soft limestone region of Savoy for
their crops, but somehow the American
farmer has no patience with such de-
vices. and in Pennsylvania towns one
sees enormous cellars or lighthouses, built
especially for mushroom cultivation, on all
sides.
Washington gardeners have engaged in
the business of late years quite extensive
ly, and with highly satisfactory results.
and several such cellars may now be seen
about the outskirts of this city. To give
an idea of the extent TO which this i'm
portant branch of agriculture has heen
neglected in the United States. the De-
partment of Agriculture officials call at
tention 10 the fact that the number OF
farmers in the United States raising 5000
pounds of mushrooms per year does not
exceed twenty.

Intelligent Forestry Is Profitable.

John Clifford, in Orange Judd Farmer.
Sylviculture. or the culture of forest trees.
agriculture and horticulture cannot be
separated by hard and fast lines; one
blends into the other. one great differ
ence between them is that the two latter
give a yearly return, while the former
taxes years or even centuries 10 mature.
such a distinction is not entirely true, for
properly managed s~ylviculture Will give an
nual returns. A spruce forest Will show
per acre almost innumerable seedlings. yet
at ten years should contain only 400 trees,
at twenty 2,Oo0, at forty 1000, at sixty 500,
at eighty $50. and at 100 25O trees. Fifteen
sixteenth should be removed in ninety
years. The agriculturist stirs anu Guilt
Yates his crops. 1t has never been demon
strated that timber trees could not be
proftably cultivated.
Sylvlculture properly manged will yield
wood for fuel, fences. building purposes.
etc. Poor land and land not nit tor other
purposes can be used and IL can be readily
combined with agriculture. Ii gives a pro-
lection from natural but destructive forces
and adds variety and beauty 10 the land
scape. II permits the establishment of
many other industries. such as small saw
mills, pulp, box and kindling wood facto-
ries, wood alcohol manufactures, sugar
maple camps. etc. Forests could be adj
v~antageously pastured except while young.
a great difficulty is fires. Wild fire lanes
titled or kept bare and established or made
as are public roads will prove a remedy.

Green Corn for Hogs.

Indiana Farmer.
The farmers Institutes are bringing out
some new thoughts on methods of feed
ing hogs. Silos for preserving green corn
for winter hog feeding is one of these.
Some of the practical hog feeders are adj
vocating this. 1t is reported that at the
late institute held in Logan county, Illinois,
Mr.. A. NJ. Caldwell. of Champaign. ILL.,,
recommended the feeding of green corn TO
hogs. Mr.. Caldwell stated that he could
make a greater gain in one month with
green corn than any man living could in
two months with old corn. IL must be fed
judiciously. When the corn is in hard
roasting ear stage 1t should be fed stalk
and all, allowing a single ear TO each ami
NAL, gradually increase this feed, and in
three weeks the hogs have all they can
eat.
A silo will be necessary to enable the
feeder to have green corn for winter feed
ing. There are but few siloS in Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio, but as the farmers OF
Wisconsin lave been so greatly benefited
by its use it will become quite popular as
feeders practice Investigation in their
feeding operations.

WlFE'S RIGHT
To Search Her Husha nd s
Pockets Upheld by indiana
Justice.

Lawrenceburg, Ind, Aug. 26.-John
Giles was arrested and brought be-
fore Justice Pabst charged with dis
turbing his wife's peace. Giles de-
Tended his treatment of his wife by
stating that she had gone through his
pockets on numerous occasions.
Mrs. Giles explained that Mr.. Giles
frequently imbibsd too freely, and it
became necessary to search his pock-
cts in order to keep the larder sup
piled. The justice decided she had
not exceeded her rights.
1t was argued by Giles attorney
that to establish this general prin-
ciple that the wife's right in this re-
spect is absolute, would work con-
siderable hardship on the husband, as
he could not retaliate in kind, since a
woman's pockets, il she has any, have
never been discovered by man, as the
female sex utilizes SO many recep-
tacles about their apparel for the con-
cealment of this essential substance.
that it would take a mining expert to
find it. Giles was let go on the pay
ment of the costs.

Recent developments of American

East Liverpool o., Aug. 26. = Thom-
ms J. Duffy, after his return from the
Alliance convention was in a happy
frame of mind. He did not favor tle
idea of holding such a convention at
