HICKS FORECAST FOR SEPTEMBER

A secondary storm period, beginning the
last two days in August, will last into the
1st and I'd days of September, storms
having moved into central to eastern
parts by the 1st and I'd. Higher ba-
rometer, westwardly gales and change to
much cooler will follow behind these dis
turbances.
The storm period beginning Oh the 4th
and extending to the 10th promises to
bring many prolonged and severe per-
turbations.
We predict that Wednesday, the 14th,
will bring, a decided crisis showing that
eluinoctial hurricanes of great extent and
violence are near,. if not sweeping our
southern coasts, or that phenomenal heat
over the interior, covering the greater
part Of the country will be eliminating
in low barometer, thunder storms and
possible tornadoes in many places.
Earthquakes, and volcanic phenomena
will be reported from various parts of the
globe On and about the 9th. If very low
barometer and equinoctial hurricanes
reach the southern coasts. and States at
this time, northerly currents will induce
marked boreal conditions over western
and central sections bringing frost to
northwestern Yates not far from the 18th
to 18th.
The next regular storm period extends
from the 10Th to 2lst. This period is COW
cred, as was also the previous periods, by ]
the Mercury equinox and by the Earth's
autumnal equinox, near its central date
and influence.
If an equinoctial hurricane, or cyclone,
is i'll progress in the gulf or adjacent
waters, and does not reach the southern
coasts before, it is almost certain to be
felt, in violent gales or high seas, within
twenty-four hours of noon on the oath.
One of the September perturbations,
whatever may occur at other periods, is
almost certain to reach decided, if not
violent crisis at this time. This is also
another time when seismic, volcanic and
phenomena will be reported |
from many extfemes of the globe. In
every probability a rushing high ba-
rometer, violent northwesterly gales, and
changes to almost cold, will spread over
lhe country from the northwest, as the |
storms OF this period give place to the
high barometric area pushing close be- |
hind them.
regular Vulcan storm period is GEN.
trail on the Goth, extending from the 9th, |
Two or three days into October. AS we
enter this period the barometer will fall, |
the temperature will again rise to quite |
warm, and scattering storms will be ad-
rancing eastward over the country about |
ihe 26th and 30th.- World and Works.

That after the trees have become large

IN the large orchards as 1t is in the
smaller ones, and have come to the
conclusion that It is easier to combat
the rayages of insects and fungi In the
smaller plots than 1t Is in very large
plantations. AS the extended and un.
irequented forest Is the habitation OF
wild animals and birds, SO may the
extensive orchards after becoming
thickiy grown become to a greater ex.
tert the habitation and harbor for in.
sects and fungi than the smaller and
more frequented blocks. AS a large

Holes for Tree Settinu,

The mere digging OF hole for a
tree Is small matter, but often the
question of the hole in which the tree
Is to be set determines whether the
tree is to be a valuable producer of
fruit or not. In this work it Is not
safe to take the example of another
man. On loamy prairie soils, where
the subsoil is of such a texture that
the water will readily drain away, the
digging of hole about 1S inches deep
is the principal thing necessary in the
correct setting of an apple tree. But
most of our orchards are planted on
clay soil and frequently on hillsides,
where the soil is so retentive of mois-
ture that the water does not drain off
readily after storm. In such case,
to dig deep hole in land that has
not been plowed for a great many
years, IL ever, is to make a puddle for
the tree. If there is a gentle slope to-
ward this hole the adjacent land will
pour its water into it, and the hole
Will become more of pool than any
thing else. A tree set in such a place
simply remains from year to year
without making much growth, seem
ing to be engaged in great struggle
with nature for existence. In a clay
soil the whole land is SO clayey that
water does not seep through it. Some
orchardists run a subsoil pillow the
length of the rows that are to receive
the trees, SO that the water will seep
from the soil around the tree into the
adjacent soil. We know OF orchards
that are set on sandy hillsides. 1t is
evident that in such a location the
preparation of the hole in which the
tree is to be set is of no moment, as
the subsoil is Of such composition
that the water cannot remain to
drown out the trees.

Improving the Milk Supply.

To improve the milk supply 1t Is
necessary to reach the producer, and
he cannot be easily influenced. Our
city friends are continually demanding
cleaner milk, but little is done by
them to secure it. 1t Is certain that
pure milk could be obtained In
very short time If the city people
went to work in an energetic manner
to get it. The producer cares little
for public opinion so long as 1t does
not touch him. But let an inspector
come to his place and demand to see
his cows and his sheds and say to him
that IL these are not satisfactory, his
milk will not be received in such and
such place, he will begin to pay re-
spectful heed to the desires of the in
spector. The most influential in
spector Is the one that stands between
the milk producer and his customers.
This kind of an inspector needs no
legal power. He needs only the power
that comes from the consumers of
milk. We believe that this is the way
the milk situation is to be finally i'm
proved. 1t amounts to a boycott on
the dairyman that will not keep his
cows and his mixers and his milk
clean.

MiIkjno by Contract,

j. H. Monrad, in New York Produce
Review, tells of contract system of
milking in vogue on some farms In
Denmark. Women do the milking and
are paid according to the amount Of
milk they extract from the cows or
according to the amount Of butter fat
contained in it. The latter system
he regards as the better of the two,
as it induces the mixers to strip the
cows carefully, knowing that the rich
est milk Is in the strippings. The
mixers receive certain sum Of
money weekly and twice a year are
given what additional amount is com.
ing to them on the basis of the fat
content of the milk. This system
would probably work better on large
farms than on small ones and better
in Denmark than in the United States.
We imagine that it would be Just a
little difficult to get American milk
ers to enter into an arrangement OF
that kind.
