PLAYERS OF a PLAY.

Apple Trees 1876 Years Old.

An apple, from tree at least 1876
years old was brought to the Am
erican Office this week by Josiah H,
Higgins, of Ellsworth.
When his grandfather, Levi Higgins,
moved from Eastman, on Cape Cod, to
Maine, in ITO, he brought with him
this apple tree, and set it out on the
place at Hulps cove, in what is now
the town of Eden There Mr.. Hig.

horn on the place, ate the fruit He
is interested to know if there is an
older tree in the county still bearing
apples.-Ellsworth American.

INJURY DONE BY WEEDS.


The manner in which weeds bring
about injury to farm crops is discuss
ed in an Ontario bulletin. Farmers
will find sufficient reasons for fighting
the weed pest in the following: The
amount of water which is taken up
by weeds and evaporated from the
surface Of the leaves is very great.
For instance, an average mustard
plant pumps from the soil about four
teen ounces, or seven-tenths of pint,
per day; a sunfiower, thirty-tnree
ounces, and so on. The transplra-
ton is generally in proportion to the
surface of the leaf, but thin leaves
transpire, or throw off water, more
freely than fleshy ones. Consequent
ly. weeds having large leaf surface
draw rom the soil and give on
through the leaves large amount
Of water and thereby rob the sur
rounding plants. Many botanists
consider this waste Of moisture the
mots serious injury done by weeds.
Weeds naturally make use OF the
same food as the cultivated plants
among which they grow. Consequent
ly they deprive crop Of large
amount of the available nourishment,
and they rob the succeeding crop as
well. For example, an analysis of the
Russian thistle by Snyder showed
that it contains from twelve to sew
entee1 per cent. as much nitrogen
as there is in clover, and an ordin-
airy thistle of this kind covering
square yard takes more potash and
lime from the soil than two good
crops of wheat from the same area.
Weeds often grow more vigorously
than usual plants, and, as conse-
quence, they shade or crowd, or par
TALLY choke, the seedlings Of the de-
sired crop Black bindweed, for in
stance, often covers completely a
large part Of plants among which 1t
grows. At best, it is difficult to clean
many of the smaller seeds, such as
clover, grass and rape seed, ald the
difficulty is greatly increased when
they are grown on a dirty farm. 1t
is almost impossible to clean clover
seed by winnowing. Hence the ne
cesssity that the land on which 1t
grows be clean. Weeds interfere with
a regular rotation of crops. A we'll
balanced rotation Of crops conserves
the fertility of the soil, but it is often
necessary to depart from such ro-
yation when noxious weeds get poses
sion Of the farm-to give undue at
tention to the growth of hoed crops,
for instance, or almost omit a certain
crop altogether for time, as in the
case of the oat crop on farm over
run with wild oats. Weeds harbor
scores of injurious fungi. Many OF
the rusts which attack grain crops
find resting place on weeds of the
grass and other families which pre-
serve them through the fall, winter
and spring.-Weekly Witness.

BALANCED FOOD FOR SWINE.
While our hogs get plenty of corn
we go to considerable effort to furn
ish them variety in the rations and
try to give 1t to them in such way
that it forms a balanced ration. We
are believers in considerable soft food
for swine and consider a ration OF
wheat middlings and gluten meal with
small portion of process oil meal
feed that will keep them in good
weight and in the finest condition,
These grains are mixed thoroughly
and then skim milk is used SO that
the mass is about like thin porridge.
This our hogs get twice daily with
corn on the cob for the third meal,
and something in the way of root
crops or good kitchen sl1p in which
is mixed vegetable and fruit parings
for the in-between meal. This is the
food during the summer Except that
the com is cut out) as well as during
the nter. The range takes the place
CT the third meal of slop and vege-
tables, but with these exceptions we
try to feed about the same the year
round and find that it pays.-Indian,

Marensky, formerly a missionary in

that shells made as good substitute

that nothing could entirely take the
