of fiat provides a suitable medium
for sowing all kinds of vegetable
seeds, easily transferred from warm
to cooler conditions and in case of
damping off no great loss is incurred.
When sowing the seed the fiat is
loosely filled with soil to which a
good proportion of sand has been
added and leveled off with one sweep
with the back of the pressboard. The
soil is then pressed down one-half
inch, as indicated, by fit of the press
board in width to the fiat. The
level stick is then used. This fits
the fiat the long way, and makes a
drill, the bevel edge being greater
than the depth of the pressboard. The
seed is sown in these drills, which can
be quite close together when the soil
is light in texture, covering lightly
with soil and repeating the pressing
with board. One of the advantages in
sowing all seed at the same depth and
in transplanting from rows is that the
operator can remove the seedlings
much more quickly. We would sug-
gest trial of this device, the ex-
plantation being much more difficult
than the Observation-Disclosures Can
ming, in the American Florist.

THE ORCHARD.
Cultivate the orchard often.

Instead of careless apple, we need
one that is as big in the middle of the
barrel as at the ends.
Let us all make map of the or
chard trees-right now-before we
forget the names and the whereabouts
of the varieties we planted.
Rub off all unnecessary sprouts which
have started on newly-set trees. Now
is the time to train the little fellows
in the way they should go.
Nurserymen are having serious
time with the crown or root gall upcn
apple trees. Many trees go to the
brush pile annually on account OF the
destructiveness of this pest.
Cut away every sprout growing at
the foot of the young apple trees-or
the old ones, either, for that matter.
These draw from the life OF the tree'
and are absolutely worthless.
Look out for the little slugs-dark-
ish. Shiny fellows-that are likely to
be on pear or cherry leaves now. Fine,
dry dust, if thrown in the trees, will
kill every slug it covers. Or almost any
OF the regulation orchard sprays Will
exterminate this pest.-Farm Journal.

A Stack of sheaf Oats.

Last summer l placed a small stack
of sheaf oats near the barn and found
that it made the finest feed for nearly
all kinds of live stock, writes E. j. Wa
terstripe, of Shelby county,, Mo-, to the
Farm and Home. / will surely follow
the plan this year. The threshing bill
is saved and for some purposes it is all
the better to feed in the sheaf. Nothing
makes better winter feed for idle horses.
| fed it once a day and the horses kept
in good shape.
1t is also fine for poultry-just the
thing to make the fowls scratch, and
they must have exercise in winter. II
the hens have good scratching shed
they will enjoy it and make a profit out
of it.
There is nothing betrsr to feed to
mich cows than sheaf oats. If you only
have one cow and want good milk, feed
some oats and It will improve the quail
ity of the butter.

THE CABBAGE WORM.
Some Results of Scientific Investi-
cations of This Destruc-
tive Pest.

The imported cabbage worm feeds
on the foliage of nearly all cruciferous
plants, is particularly fond of cabbage
and caulifower, and somewhat less de-
structive to turnip, radish, mustard
and horseradish. 1t also does consid-
erably injury, to ornamental plants
such as nasturtium, mignonette, sweet
alyssum and spider plant.
The butterflies sip the nectar OF flow
ers of many kinds, and are to be seen
any time lowering over them. They
are especially fond of the white BIOS
SONS OF crucifers, also OF such pla Its
as white aster, lavender and thistle.
Like other butterflies, this species is
diurDal, and is on the wing from early
morning until near dusk. It is COM
paratively slow flyer, but capable OF
extended flight for long distances.
The butterflies sometimes congregate
in immense swarms, as has frequent
ly occurred where the insect has emf

Case or Wide Interest.
The New York World, commenting
upon this remarkable case. says:
eighty thousand deaf-mutes in this
country, and fully as many more in
Germany, Austria and France, will be
affected by the outcome of the case,
whatever it may be, for the parties at
law are both among the most prom
inent mutes in the world, and what
ever interests them will interest their
fellows in the United States and Eu-
rope.
'The belligerents are both prom
inent in New York city, where they
reside. There are two suits, one
brought as an offset to the other, so
that both parties are plaintiffs and
each is a defendant. And, most GU
rious point of all, considering the fact
that everyone connected with the af-
fair. is a deaf-mute, the twin suits are
for-slander!
at would be hard, then, to conceive
a more intricate, complicated, para
doXical situation than presents itself
now.
Jacques Loew, one of the plaintiff
defendants, is a well-known resident
of New York, which he has made his
home for the past so years since he
came from Austria. Although a deaf
mute, he is an expert worker in leath-
err and plush goods, and made a good
living even before he became a part
ner in one of the biggest concerns
manufacturing these goods. For a
score of years he was prominent fig
ure at Fleischmann'S Vienna bakery,
where his huge white mustache and
dignified> bearing earned for him the
sobriquet of THE Baron. He break
tasted at Fleischmann's early every
morning, and at dinner every evening
was generally surrounded by score
or more of guests, all deaf-mutes
whose animated conversation was
most interesting to other patrons OF
the restaurant.

VISION OF SEA VICTORY.
Russia Believes Rojestvensky Has
Togo at Disadvantage.

st. Petersburg. Nebogat-
offs junction with Vice Admiral Ro-
jestvensky is now considered by the
admiralty as practically assured and
hope for a successful issue in the
approaching struggle for mastery of
the sea is greatly encouraged. Nebo-
gatOff is regarded as the Butcher of
the situation, and, indeed, he is said
to resemble him greatly in tempera-
ment. He may lack his strategy and
fnesse, but, like the Prussian he has
bulldog courage and is a born fighter
who goes straight for the enemy.
If Vice Admiral Kamimura, like
Grouchy at Waterloo, has failed to
prevent a junction of the Russian
fleets, as the admiralty here believes
he has, the impression is strong that
Admiral Togo will not dare risk an
open battle with the combined fleets
of Rojestvensky and Nebogatoff and
will protect himself by torpedo at
