in the floor plan. Fill this bed with
fertile soil, about nine inches deep.
Cover the surface about one inch deep
with fine sand.
If the adjoining building is heated
with steam, connection may be made
with a radiator to the coil of pipes
placed under the plant bed on the
porch roof, as shown in Fig. 2. This
may be used in cold weather to prevent
freezing within the greenhouse. But in
dry, sunny weather the sun will fur
nish sufficient warmth to keep the house
in growing condition for the plants.
The entrance to the house proper must
be by way of an adjoining window or
door to the roof of the veranda. A
drainage pipe should be arranged to the
plant bed to carry away surplus water,
also supply pipe for watering. The
bed should not be wet SO thoroughly as
to cause water to run through.
Such house requires much the same
management as does hotbed. Ven
tilation is necessary on very warm
days, and thorough watering at fire.

IN GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

The knife and saw still remain the
principal remedies against the blight.
We have not yet found remedy that
may be applied to and cure sick limbs
and twigs.
When blighted portions are cut from
twigs of trees they should be at
once burned. The dead wood really
contains no live blight spores, but the
point where the living tree comes in
contact with the dead part may.
The pecan crop is estimated at over
100000 pounds short by the Dried
Fruit and Nut company, at st. Louis.
The estimate is claimed to be made
on careful investigation. OF course, a
shortage of this extent would indicate
much higher prices.
The time for starting the hotbed will
soon be here. The market gardener
has his mind on it now. Every home
garden should have hotbed and a
cold frame, or some other means for
starting early plants, unless they can be
purchased near at hand
There can be no question but that the
sulphur, lime and salt solution is a
very efficient fungicide. 1t surpasses
anything know of for cleaning up the
trunks of trees and it has very marked
effect upon the freedom from scab OF
both fruit and foliage.

POLES HATE GERMANS.
Because They Are the Kindred Of
Oppressors of Their Brethren
in Prussia.

In Austria the Poles are friendly to
the government in measure, but hope
lessly at variance with the German and
Ruthenian elements in the population
of the dual monarchy, says the New
York World. The Germans they hate
with bitter hatred, as the kindred of
those who Cypress their brethren in
Prussia. The Ruthenians are also Slav
race, inhabiting the Bukovina province.
but between Ruthenian and Pole there
has sprung up an enmity which is diff
cult to understand, but which is never
theless powerful factor in Austrian
politics. Between Cracow, the capital
of Austrian Poland, and Posen and War
saw there is constant communication.
and it is generally believed that the pro-
vincial wire-pullers are in Cracow.
What prospect have the Poles of real
lzing the grand dreams of nationality?
So long as Germany, Austria and Rus
STA remain strong enough to crush them
their prospects are of the gloomiest. 1t
is quite likely that any one of these
three powers would willingly cooperate
with the others were it needful, in
crushing a Polish insurrection. The
Polish leaders, besides, with all their
brilliant gifts, are not statesmen. They
are enthusiastic patriots, if you like, but
they are too easily swept by waves OF
sentiment, and, while eagerly engaged
in attending to the minor questions of
the present, are neglecting the consid-
Grafton of the vast problems which their
nation will have to solve in the future.
But one mission the Poles have. They
are passionate friends of freedom. Stu
ated as they are between the most retro
grade states of Europe, Prussia, Russia
and Austria, they will help to keep alive
this great idea and help to make the
cause of freedom loved by their neigh
bors. This process is at work to-day
1t is seen at work in Berlin, in Paris in
London, in Vienna. even in st. Peters
burg-wherever Poles congregate; but
the Kingdom of Poland pit is o.
dream which can never be realized.

BANNS FIRST PUBLISHED.
Notice of Intended Marriage Was
Given Among Early Chris
tians, A. D. $40.

The custom of publishing the banns
of marriage dates back to the primitive
church, for Tertullian, who died A. D.
240, states that warning of intended mar
riages was given among the early Chris
tianS.
1t appears, says London Answers,
that the publication of banns was ha-
bitual in many places long before there
was any general law on the subject,
since Gregory ". (119S-1216) speaks Of
the banns being given out in church. ac-
cording to custom. The practice was in
PRODUCED into France about the ninth
century, and in 1176 was enforced in the
diocese of Paris.
The earliest enactment on the subject
in England was an order made in the
synod of Westminster in 1900 to the eff
feet that no marriage should be celebrat-
ed till the banns had been published in
the church on three several Sundays or
feast days. This rule was made obliga<
tory throughout the church by the fourth
Lateran council. held in Rome in 1215s

GOOD ROADS.
They Need Not Necessarily Be Con-
structed OF Stone-A Pres
emit Danger.

While good roads are of the utmost
Importance to the farmers themselves.
good roads do not necessarily spell
hard roads, as many hard roads advo-
Gates, seem to imagine, says the Prai-
RE Farmer. A movement to better our
highways does not necessarily mean
that they are all to be surfaced with
stone, but there are indications that a
strict watch will be necessary to pre-
vent legislative bodies from putting
such construction on the movement
when enacting laws in regard thereto.
Many of our roads can be greatly
improved over their present condition
by undertakings and better grading.
These are the first essentials where a
hard surface is finally. to be provided.
Proper underdrainage is of the most
vital Importance during rainy sea-
son. No road can remain good at such
times without it. In many cases the
work of grading up that is done during
the summer is very largely, and some
times entirely, annulled during the fol-
Icing spring months because OF lack
of underdrainage. Roads often be-
come impossible during the spring
months that would remain in fairly
good condition if proper drainage were
provided.
We can see no objection to federal
aid for road improvement along these
lines, or why it is not just as proper and
important for the government to give
assistance in rendering an impossible
road passable and in rendering an al
ready fairly good road superfine.

How Muscle Works

DR.. Covers compares a contracting
muscle to gas engine In the muscle
before it contracts the atoms are held
apart by interatomic motion" When
a stimulus acts on the fibers the atoms
suddenly form closer compounds, by
means of oxygen, the fibers shorten and
broaden, and the whole muscle con-
tracts.
1--WE do not know how this concentra-
ton of the energy released is effected;
but we can see its analogy when coal gas
mixed with air is exploded in the cylin-

furnishes the stimulus which produces
atomic change. The materials combin-
ing in this chemical reaction are finally
used up, and nc more contractions can be
secured until the muscle has rested, and
