How to Reseed Hairy votch.

Owing to the fact that The seed of
hairy yetch is rather expensive. it is
always desirable to allow the plant to
reseed itself. 1t is possible to accom-
plish this, whether the plant is used for
pasture, or saved for hay If it is
pastured through the spring, stock
should be withdrawn in time to allow
a sufficient quantity of seed to ripen
and scatter before the date when it is
desired to pillow under the vetch in
order to plant the land in some summer
crop. If the crop is to be used for hay,
the reseeding of the land may be as
sured in several ways. The moving
may be deferred until a sufficient num-
Der of the earliest seeds have matured
and fallen. The crop may be cut very
early and sufficient second growth OBJ
tanned to reseed the land before the
time for blowing under arrives, or the
sickle bar may be raised high enough
to leave the lower part of the plant
with the attached seed pods uncut

Low vitality in Sheep.

1t is surprising to see how easily
sheep will die Not that we have met
with many losses, but with a few that
are unaccountable I never knew until
taught by experience that a sheep
mutton bred and broad backed could
lie down, roll over on it's back and be
utterly unable to get up, seemingly
through lack of "gumption," and ac-
tually die within three hours. We
have lost a few that way, some before
shearing. I could understand why
this might occur, because the wool
would naturally prevent getting up,
but when a shorn eve did it I was
surprised shepherd.
The probable cause for its getting on
its back was ticks, at least that is
what l surmise, though there was no
flock in Minnesota more thoroughly
dipped than ours was last fall: still,
awheA shearing we found a few Of the.
pests. We shall dip twice this yeaf
At the first opportunity the flock will
be dipped, ewes and lambs, and fhat
too, most thoroughly, and they Will
get a second cleansing in the fall. We
hope in this way to avoid the losses
But the fact remains that the sheen
dies easily. They make me think Of
the low vitality described by the late
Dr. Dickson, who said that the native
India man when taken IN lost an reso-
luton and courage, took to his mud
couch in his rude hut, turned Il. face

Palms For Amateurs.

The requirements for palm culture
are few but imperative. Cleanliness of
the foliage is of vital Importance. Dust
gives them the dull, rusty hue often
seen upon neglected plants Frequent
sponging and spraying and an occa-
siOnal bath or plunge into soapy water
are necessary. Turn the pot upside
down, dip the palm in ample supply
of water, and swirl it about until per-
fectly clean Then reverse the plant
to its normal position shake it free of
surplus water, and the effect will be
like spring Shower.
Palms are not exempt from scale in
sects. thrips, and scaly worm" with

provided for the lower half barrel, so

fast as she did, and the dogs were gain

mother bear did? Leave her little son
behind? No, sir-ee-ee, she picked the
baby bear up on her stout nose and
tossed him way ahead; then she ran
fast and caught up to him and gave
him another boost that sent him flying
through the air. She kept this up for Il
mile and a half then she was too tired
to go any further and the dogs sur
rounded her. Then she sat up on her

"You could hear her miles away. She
never forgot her baby; kept guarding
him all the time. When the mother
was shot the baby cub jumped on her
dead body and tried to fight off the
dogs with his little baby paws. That's

and at least 100000 gallons are cx-
ported from that country every year
A warm. sandy soil is the best for
castor bean growing. In Florida it is
a perennial plant, growing 10 the
height Of from fifteen to thirty feet In
the colder sections of the Middle States
it grows about the same as corn and
dies down in the winter AS the seeds
are marketed and the stalks are prac-
tically valueless, the plant must not
have too rank growth. If too much
notrogen is applied in the fertilizer the
stalks will be big and the seeds few.
Where there is not enough potash and
phosphoric acid the seeds will be small
and worthless An application Of from
400 to GOO pounds per acre of a fertil-
lzer containing at least eight per cent
each of potash and phosphoric acid
and about two per cent. nitrogen
should be made in the spring in the
same manner as fertllizing corn.
The seed should be planted in rows
about five feet apart and the plants
left 10 stand from two to three feet
apart in the row Planting should be
about the same as for corn. Between
the seventh and eighth row it is Gus
tomary to leave a space wide enough
to drive a wagon in gathering the
beans. Cultivation is the same as for
corn. The planting season is as early
in the spring as possible The land
should be kept free from weeds, and
soil moisture maintained by proper
cultivation.
In harvesting the castor bean the
fruiring punches should be cut out OF
the top Of the bushes as soon as the
pods begin to pop open. This is geher
ally in July or August. AS the pods
ripen they should be cut and loaded
into wagons and hauled to the dry
yards. A tight board fence, six feet
high, is one way Of keeping the beans
inside the enclosure when they pop on
of the shells. They may be put il
a barn or closed shed After they have
all popped out they can be cleaned

STORY THAT WAS
NEVER TOLD HERE

- The Tacoma Ledger has the follow
N. fng thrilling story OF Honolulu which
n never found it's way into the local
newspapers:
william c. Danver, registered at the
Tourist. Is direct from Honolulu by
way OF San Francisco. He has spent
three years on the islands. and will re-
turn there after completing some BUSH
ness he now has in hand. Speaking Of
the great dredger building here for ths
dredging OF the harbor, Mr.. Danvsr
said:
MY people are in the lighter bust
ness at Honolulu, and I had frequent
occasion to visit the great dredger at
work there. 1t is such a vast machine
as il being built here-a powerful
hydraulic rotary. The conditions there
are different to those conceive TO
maintain here. There is no mud in
that harbor at all. 1t is coral or moth |
ing, and the increase Of the size OF the |
ships. and the enormous activities OF
the little coral insects, have made /
dredging a constant necessity. The
hydraulic dredger cuts the coral just
as IL 1t were cheese. and never makes
complaint Of it's hardness. At the low
er end of these suction pipes are a act
of large knives, kept revolving rapidly
by a special engine for that purpose.
DE knives NOW their way through
rows OF piling without any perceptible
slackening OF speed, chewing the wood
I'D SO that the suction of water carries
the chunks into the pump. and so on
out to the outflow. It does the same,
with the hard coral-coral hard enough
to withstand the most erosive of seas.
The powerful suction OF the pumps
was responsible for a strange acci-
dent the day I came away The har-
Dor OF Honolulu Is constantly covered b
by the fleet OF native boats used in @
trading with the ships. A number had
clustered about the hydraulic dredge,
and one OF the amphibian natives u
Jumped overheard before he could be
stopped, and dived to investigate what =
he dredger was doing at the bottom of
he harbor. The native was never seen c
live again, for before the machinery C
,ouid be stopped, the man had dived g
near the inlet Of the sue
ion to be caught in the rush of wa
ers. and with a cut or two Of the re- n
Tolving knives. was made sufficiently &c
mall to be taken in and hoisted to the .,
Jump. He was taken out of the pump :,
4 sections. and buried the next day u
y the natives with great ceremonies" nj
