which B. l.. Magruder, of Sioux City,
Iowa, is exploring for e. H. Hartman
and Senator w. A. Clark, Of Montana.
He is soon to make report on the

stalactites and stalagmites is some
thing wondrous. The latter rise from
the floor in the shape of trees. Some
of them are thirty feet high. The sta

sorts of beautiful designs. Magruder
has gone into the cave a distance OF
2,40G feet and found six or seven mag
nificent crystallized chambers. Sew

heard the roar and splash of running
waters. An attempt will be made b.
Magruder to find the depth of Thu
abyss and try to trace the source o
the hidden river.

glass is a compound of f1uoric acid and
barium. The latter has no effect, it
being simply a white powder to give

Profits from Apple GROWING.

New York state farmer says he
gets more profit from his 20 acre or.
chard than from all his las acres be-
sides. The average is about $1,000.
or at the rate of $50 an acre, and the
purchaser gathers and packs the fruit.
His only expense is for fertilizing.
spraying and pruning.
Many sections in this state are as
well adopted to orcharding as any in
New York. and no good reason can be
given why more of our farmers should
not engage in the business, in a com.
mercial way. An exchange gives an
account of less than two acres that
gave over 800 net profit the present
year: although the cost of caring for
the trees, gathering and marketing the
fruit, rental value of land, ETC.. amount
to $40 or more. The owner SPRAYS
thoroughly. and covers the ground
with blue grass and clover, which he
mows once or twice each season, and

Costume a s.oem in Red.

A costume that might well be called
poem in red was seen in the tea
room of one of New York's most fash

elect love to gather for n cup of tea
and bit of gossip. The gown had a
rather long but round shaped skirt. and
was in dark red chiffon velvet shirred
on several fine cords around the hips,
falling full and untrimmed to the floor
The shirrings on the skirt were car
ried up la princess to girdle depths
around the waist. No fastening was
visible. but this was doubtless hidden
among the full gathers at the back. as
most of the modish costumes are fast
cned in this manner. The little short
backed waist was of a cloth in light
~ shade than the velvet and sleeve

ing sleeveless effect the sleeves be-
ing caught in puffs with bands and
tucks of the cloth. and the little coat
was strapped with velvet. The vest
and stock collar were of gauZe and
touches of silk were introduced in the
cuffs and revers. With this costume
was worn a black velvet cavalier hat
with natural ostrich feathers. and over
a chair hung the wearer's wrap of red
velvet lined with Russian squirrel.

waInuts for Fowls.

Every year thousands of bushels of
walnuts go to waste all over the coun-
try, and few farmers think of their
value for poultry food. FOR years we
have been gathering the walnuts and
storing them in some shed or out.
house, and we consider every bushel
of them worth fully as much as a
bushel of oats. 1t is not necessary to
remove the hulls. but do not store
them more than a few inches deep,
as they may heat and rot. A 1Ox12
space will hold big wagon load
safely.
When real cold weather sets in we
hash up a bushelful with an old axe
and feed them to the laying hens.
The great amount of oil contained In
the kernels will do more to help keep
up animal heat than almost any other
foodstuff we can produce. and we have
never had disease in our fiocks when
we have walnuts as part of the winter
ration. With eggs at present prices,

When Hens Can't Hunt.

In the winter when fowls cant run
and hunt animal food, it should be
supplied them. Too many of our poul
try keepers imagine that the same
feed they give their poultry in the
summer is suitable for winter, and
they forget that the fowls In the sum-
mer obtain themselves what supple
ments the food given them. In the
winter this supplementary food must
be given by the owner of the fowls.
In this supplementary food. chopped
or ground meat should take the first
place. and after that should come
boiled potato parings and the like.
Green things are hardly obtainable in
the winter, unless the farmer has had
the forethought to lay in store OF
cabbages for the fowls. Often in the
field in the fall are soft headed cab.
bages that are very suitable for poul

Hens and Puljcts,

Hens often have diarrhoea from be.
ing fed too fattening diet. This may
occur when they are fed with the
pullets; pullets do well and lay well
on diet which would take an old
hen off her feed. This is because the
pullet has to grow bone. meat, feath
ers, and eggs, and can use a large
quantity of food. The droppings
should be watched. Where there is
watery discharge streaked with more
or less blood the ailing bird should be
separated from the balance of the
flock and given range. Put tincture
of iron or handful of old nails in
the drinking water and feed dry grain.
mostly wheat. Hens that are known
to be laying should be fed apart from
the older birds that are kept over for
breeders. They will lay on fat with
the surplus food which their sisters
are turning into eggs.

Scarcely a friend of mine will look

horror, is more than can be endured.

How to Water Flowers.

The most particular thing in the
house culture of plants is the water
ing So many people think they are
doing their duty II they give their
plants a little water every day. This
is altogether wrong. When you find
your plants dry they need water.
This can be easily learned by tapping
the pot with the knuckles and getting
a ringing sound from dryness and a
dead sound when 1t is wet enough, or
by rubbing the soil on the top of the
pot with the finger; IL 1t feels moist
and sticks to the finger. it is wet
enough. but If it feels dry and slightly
dirty. it wants water. Water 1t well

Vary the Soft Food.

In the winter time some soft food
is fed to most farm fowls. 1t is wise
to vary this from time to time. We do
not know much about the likes and
dislikes of fowls, but it is quite safe
to assume that variety of foods suits
them best, and that they will digest
more of such food than of one kind.
This liking for variety is shown by
the avidity with which fowls take any
new food. Corn meal scalded may
constitute the soft food one day.
chopped feed the next, and mixture
of bran. middlings and other meals an
other day. 1t is not much more trou-
BILE to keep three or four bags of meal
of various kinds than one.

subsoiI for Fruit Trees.

On the subsoil depends great deal.
The tree that is planted over an i'm
pervious subsoil may do well IL 1t Is
on side-hill that will permit the
water to run off through the soil that
lies above the subsoil. But on other
kinds of land the subsoil, II imper-
vious. will cause the trees to grow
slowly and bear fruit lightly. Bad
drainage and impervious subsoils
largely go together. We have seen
land that was friable on top and down
little way was composed of layer
of stones and clay so closely inter-
mixed that it almost seemed that a
great fire had melted them and they
had run together. If such subsoil can
not be improved it is better to put
the fruit trees in some other place.
The surest way TO improve the sub
soil is by drainage. That lowers the
water table in the soil In winter and
lets the frost in to pulverize the
ground. Where the land is undrained
the water table protects all the soil
below it from the action of frost. We
have known of clay soils through
which the drains were dug to depth
of four feet. For q year or two 1t did
not seem to make much difference
with the general character of the soil,
for the frost had not had time to work.
But after the frost for two or three
winters had got in to the soil the
whole character of the ground seemed
to be changed.
For the growing of apple trees es-
pecially 1t is best to select land where
the subsoil is already in right condi-
ton, so that the roots may go down
| several feet if necessary. This makes
it easy for the tree to send its roots
! deeply and to get down into a moist
| layer of soil. Trees in such locations
stand drouth well and show green
| leaves when all things else seem to
be turning brown with drouth.

To Prevent Smut in Wheat.

This coming spring wheat should
not be sowed without being first treat
ed if it has any indications of having
been exposed to smut. The trouble
can be obviated by dipping the seed
wheat in solution that is sure to
prove effective. Smut is carried over
from year to year on the seed wheat
The mode of treatment is as follows:
Dissolve one pound of copper sulphate
in "a gallons of water. Soak the seed
in this solution for twelve hours, after
which it should be drained off. Then
the seed should be soaked for ten
minutes in lime water made by slak-
ing one pound of lime In ten gallons
of water. The seed should then be
dried as soon as possible. Care should
then be taken that the seed wheat is
not eaten by chickens or other stock,
as the sulphate is a deadly poison.
1t is the experience of farmers that
land that bore smutty wheat the previ-
GUS year will not bear smutty wheat
if the seed is properly treated. the
smut spores in the ground having
been all killed by the cold weather.

Sugar Beet Seed.

6Gct oGGC.
The proper selection OF the seed is
the first requisite in planting. says
a bulletin of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. At present most
of our best beet seed is imported from
Germany and France. AS with other
commodities, there are few standard
varieties, the quality of which is well
known. These standard varieties are
also in the hands of responsible and
established firms. Very serious mis-
takes are sometimes made in the
selection of seed. TIE entire crop for
one new factory in this country was
one season produced from seed OF
low quality and with consequences
that were serious and far-reachins
No one can tell much about the quail
ity of seed by looking at 1t. A
farmer can test the seed by germinat
ing certain number of seeds be
tween two dampened blotters kept
warm and moist. He can observe
what percentage germinates. AS each
seed or ball has from one to hve
germs, there should not be less than
$50 sprouts from 100 balls. II, in ad'
dition, so per cent of the balls pro
duce as much as one sprout each, the
seed can be considered good from
the standpoint of vitality, The best
method to pursue with relation to
seed is to consult the nearest reliable
source of information, such as fac
tory or an experiment station which
is making tests.
