ENcRoAcH ON ZUYDER ZEE.
How Land Is Reclaimed From I'll
North Sea by the HoIIanders.

The Chicago drainage canal is
a mere plaything compared with the
engineering feat of draining HARLEM
Lake in Holland, says a writer in the
New York Tribune. The Dutch built
dixie around piece of the sea and
then pumped the lake they had made
entirely dry. This was so successful
that other portions of the sea have
been reclaimed in the same way. Now
the Netherlanders have set out to dry
up sea, the Zuyder Zee, and reclaim
about 600 square miles. The cost Of
this undertaking is estimated at SAL.
100000, of $6,000,00O more that the
cost of the New York subway The
Dutch government, however, expects to
get it's money back, as it will have
100000 acres of land, from which it
expects to get rental of $4,000 900 a
year.
One might think that such a marshy
tract Of land, even after it has been
reclaimed and drained, would be ma
larial. Not so. The draining of the
land will be done little at a time,
SO as to shorten the marshy stage as
much as possible. Coast land, even
If low, when past the marshy stage, is
especially healthful. Furthermore,
the people of that country are used to
low land. At any rate, they succeeded
in drying up HARLEM.

THE TIME FOR BUDDING.

Budding consists in taking bud
from one tree and inserting it under
the bark of another tree The union
OF the two, the bud and the stock,
takes place at the edge of the bark
OF the inserted bud. For this reason
the bud should be inserted as soon
as cut from its twig and before it
has time to dry out The bud should
also be full, plump and well-matured.
The stock should be in active growth.
SO that the bark will slip easily. In
cutting the bud a sharp knife is re-
quired, as clean, smooth cut is de-
sirable. The knife is inserted a half
inch above and brought out tho same
distance below, shaving out a small
wedge of wood under the bud along
with the bark. This wedge is no
hindrance to the union and should
not be removed. The leaf is always
clipped off. To insert the bud make
a T-shaped incision just through the
bark. Raise the bark carefully with
out breaking it, then insert the bud.
Practice will give ease and dispatch
to the operation. The bud must be
held firmly to the stock both above
and below it, being careful to leave
the eye of the bud uncovered. Raffia,
bass, candle, wick or waXed cloth
may be used for tying. In about ten
days, if the bud takes, the bandage
must be removed, or the stock will
be strangled and the growth hin
dered.

FOUNDATION OF GROWTH.

What we call cells make up the
body of plants. Some of the very
smallest forms of plant life are made
up of a few cells, but most plants
nave millions of these Take a
compound microscope and place I'M
der 1t section from any plant; it will
De found to consist entirely of cells
arranged side by side or one over an
other. Some Of the cells may be alive
and some dead. In large plants most
OF the cells are dead even though the
plants themselves may be growing
vigorously. A cell is a minute globu-
lar body with tough wall inclosing a
huld interior, which is called bioplasm.
This bioplasm has the power to draw
TO itself more fluid through the cell
wall and thus increase the size of the
cell. When the cell can grow no larg-
er 1t divides itself into two by draw
ing in the cell wall, just as a sausage
maker divides his sausages by twisting
and thus contracting the skin. Each
OF these particells then grows to the
size OF the original cell and itself di-
vldes. This explains the rapid growth
or plants at some stages. after thew
nave got GOOD start, as we say, and
also explains their slow growth at
hrst. Any scholar that has ever tried
to double number for twenty or thir.
ty times will understand. Said a man
to the king of Burmah: Give me a
grain OF wheat for the first square on
the checker board, 2 for the second. 4
Tor the third, and so on for the whole
"a squares. Said the king: Certain
ly, | command that it be done" His
ministers found there was not wheat
enough in the kingdom to pay the
Dill. That is how cells multiply. It
is why we wake up some morning to
md that the weeds have got ahead of
us-that they have overrun every-
thlng. He who understands this and
is wise will assail the weeds when
they are at a stage of slow growth.
rather than wait till they are on the
gallop.
In time most cells lose their power
OF division or increasing in size. These
walls become thicker and harder and
thelr interior solidifies. They have
been squeezed into various shapes
Growth having ceased, they are known
as dead cells, when they are of use
only as supports to those that are
growing. When vitality is great and
hourishment abundant cell growth
goes on rapidly, but when either of
these is lacking the growth is slow

ORIGIN OF FORESTS.

The life of plants as we'll as of ami
mails began in the water, and from
wafer plants of simple structure there
gradually developed the forms fitted
TO thrive upon land. The first land
plants of which we have evidence, al
though probably not the first that ex-
listed. were fern like in character. As
their number became greater the
crowding forced each plant to reach
OUT higher after the sunlight and the
air. In this struggle for existence be-
gan that evolution of those most fitted
to survive, which has resulted in the
forms that we know to-day. Those
which developed the tallest trunks
conquered the shorter varieties and
forced them either to die out complete
ly or to occupy less favorable stua-
tons. The trees of the first great for
ests, which became the beds of coal of
the principal coal forming period, were
weak in structure, not far removed
from the ferns, with pithy trunks, re-
curing much moisture and warmth.
They were not well adapted to propa-
gate and spread, as their seeds were
very small and incapable of withstand
ing rigorous conditions. From these
forms there gradually developed the
palms and trees somewhat resembling
the present cone bearing forms of
evergreens, this process of develop
ment continuing until in comparative
~ recent ages came the prevailing
trees of our modern forests These
may be divided into two great classes
- the narrOw-leaved, cone-bearing
trees, or evergreens, and the broad
leaved trees, which usually shed their
leaves in the autumn. All have great
advantage over the earliest forms, in
their strong trunks, capable of sup
porting a great weight of branches
and leaves and enabling them to at
tain heights of 100 to 300 feet above
The earth. The fight for place and ex-
stence is now chiefly between the
9vergreens and the broad-leaved or
1eciduous trees, and in this struggle
he broad-leaved trees are so far supe-
'ior that the evergreens have already
)een driven to a great extent to the
ess temperate, cold regions or to the
irler and less favorable soils

PEACH CULTURE IN THE WEST.

Much patience and a determination
not to be daunted by even serious OBJ
stacles has been exhibited by the
orange growers Of Florida. Within the
past ten years their orange orchards
have twice been cut down by the frost,
yet they have not permitted them
selves to be discouraged by this fact,
and this season the crop shipped north
will r. y or quite million boxes
| The in the mid l. west with
respect to peaches is no = Sc, if so
| bad, as that which the owLes of the
Florida orange groves have been
obliged to meet That much of the
west is without peaches is due to the
fact that the difficulties of peach cul-
ture in the section have not been gen.
has been made to overcome them.
Here and there we find owners of
peach orchards who make the peach
profitable. They do it by a proper Sc
lection of varieties adapted to the To-
cality, by careful cultivation and by
section and of methods to overcome
them. They have their years of fail
ure, of course, but that is true of all
fruit growing, and on the whole they
make the crop pay very well. There
is no reason why the peach should not
be more generally cultivated than it is
In the west. There are good varieties
that are harder in the section than
the orange has proved in Florida, and
the difficulties that stand in the way
OF success are no greater than those
the orange grower has had to over
come. That they can be overcome is
proved by the success that has attend
ed the efforts of the few who have
made the peach profitable in the West.
No special kinds of soil are essential
for the peach. 1t thrives best in
warm, loamy SOIL but will do well any
where except in strong, stiff clays
One leading objection to western eff
forts in peach culture is the lack of
sufficient preparation of the ground
1t will pay to pillow it deep before
planting peach trees and even to SUBJ
soil, except where the land has a
sandy or gravelly subsoil Two or
three plowings are none too many, for
the ground can profitably be made as
perfect in filth as the garden No
peach grower ever failed because he
cultivated too we'll A common mis-
take, moreover, is an attempt to get
some other crop eff the ground at the |
same time that it is expected to grow
peach trees, but this is an error that is
attended with more loss to the peach |
than gain in the other crops. 1t is a
good general fact to remember. too, in |
connection with peach planting that |
high land is cooler in summer and |
warmer in winter than low land. Any
farmer who will give the matter suffi-
Client attention can grow peaches in
the West if he will. 1t is only ques-
ton of studying the difficulties which
attend the work in the locality and
then directing ones efforts to meeting
them. In nearly the entire West the
development of the farm has reached |
a point where the farmer should have
a good fruit orchard large enough to
at least supply the wants of his own
family and to furnish a surplus for
sale that will pay or more than pay
the cost of the family fruit, and in
such fruit growing the peach should
not be forgotten.

WHAT is GOOD PLANTING?

Many OF those who think they are
good horticulturists are guilty of fall
ing far short Of their duty when it
comes to planting trees and other
things for which they have been paid
good money 1t is due every nursery
tree or plant to be put back in the
ground in as nearly the same condi-
ton as possible that it was before hay
ing been taken out of it. The earth
should never be wet when planting is
done. | would rather plant in dust
than in mud. Dust will pack tight
and it can be moistened, but mud can
not be tried out artificially. It will
shrink from the roots as it dries and
leave them in bad condition.
