In Harper's James B. Connolly, who
has just returned from trip to the far
north for Harper's Magazine, tells of
the modern method Of shooting whales
with n harpoon gun. Mr. Connolly
made trip on the whaler Skytten:
"only eighty feet over all, with less
than two feet of freeboard at her waist
the Skytten seemed puny craft for
the rather large business Of whale-kill-
ing" says Mr. Connolly. ut was her
equipment OF course, that made her
strength. Forward, on q platform sci

WINTER CULTIVATION.

Orchard cultivating can be done to
advantage in winter Surface soil
should be stirred and made fine to adj
NIT air and moisture readily In the
growing season. Summer cultivation
must necessarily be rather shallow,
for fear Of disturbing the feeding roots,
which are rather near the surface.
The danger is not present in winter,
and it is a good time to break up the
soil deeply. The surface may first have
its coating of manure and then be
turned lightly under 1t need not be
narrowed smooth-the rains and frost
will do. that to perfection.

TO PLANT LILY BULBS.

A woman from Worcester, Ohio,
wishes to know when to plant her lily
bulbs and how to pot her hyGcinths
for winter bloom. The only rule about
lilies is to get them into the ground
as soon after digging MS possible. Most
Of them should be planted five or six
inches deep; auratum and others
should go eight or nine inches deep.
Candidum must be set just as it comes
out Of the ground with the new green
leaves spread over the surface. The
only secret about hyaclnth potting is
to have plenty of charcoal or broken
pottery In your pots, and fill up with
peaty soil and sand, or with old sod
well rotted. A housewife who wants
good soil for her plants should keep
a little pile of sod in an out Of the way
corner, rotting; then mix with it for
use some nice, clean sand, about one.
