Z Gladstone Aiiecdotc.

The sarcastic cheer is very common,

an uuQpproached master. \ member

hear ironically, Gladstone stopped
instantly and turned and looked With
interest at the lnterupter, who as
suredly would at that moment have
given good deal to recall his words.
Then he turned back to the speaker.
"Sir" lie said, "thc honorable gentle
man laughs" For a minute or two be
quoted from memory long string Of
figures proving the accuracy Of what he
had previously said. The next time

Covering ia. Silo.

Various ways have been tried Of
covering the sllaae after the sllo was
filled TO prevent the spelling of the
silaxe on top, but it has been foand
that nothing is better or less expensive
than to put ON water enough to thor
oughly wet the top Of the silase and
have enough SO thr it runs down be-
tween the Siage and the sides of tho
silo. Many avoid all loss from damage
on top by beginning TO feed immedi-
etely after filling, thus giving it no
lme to damage. The feeding should
always be dona from the top, taking
about two inches from the entire top
each day II the feeding is done TOO
slowly, and part Of the surface IS left
exposed to the air for two or three or
more days then the stock will have

Grass Ia the Orchard.

Hortculturists and fruit growers
have long known that grasses are inju-
rious to young apple trees, but 1t Eaeins
that they ~cre wrong in attributing
the injury TO Interference with tho air,
the water and the food supply Of the
trees. Carefully conducted expert
mcnts and observation at the Wodburn
experimental fruit farm in England
have shown, however, that there Is
some direct or indirect product OF
grass growth that has an active poison
Gus effect on the roots of the trees. Is
Is also suggested that the so called es.
haustion of the coil by certain plants,
preventing the subsequent growth of
other plants in the same ground, maP
be due really to somo poisonous prod
uct left by the first plants.

highly recommended is mixture Of
pine tar ana lard, in the proportion OF
