Raising Carrots.

1t has always seemed strange to
the writer that carrots were not more
universally grown, for not only are
they remunerative commercially, but
they are most excellent for feeding
live stock, especially horses. 1t is a
well-known fact that carrots when
fed to horses improve their wind
greatly.
The gross profit from an acre Of
well-grown carrots should be about
$500. Z light loan or sandy soil
suits them best, with but moderate
application of manure. For general
cultivation, the writer prefers the
Rubicon, Danvers and Long Orange,
for II grown in excess of the market,
they can be profitably fed to the live
stock.
1t requires from three to four
pounds of seed per acre, depending on
the distance between the rows. The
plants should be from three to six
inches apart In the rows. and the
rows vide enough apart for horse

Beginners in Horse Breeding.

In an article of caution to begin
ners in this line of work, the English
Live Stock Journal concludes as fol-
lows:
AS general rule 1t is not desira-
BILE for commencement to be made
with more than one breed, even
though the soil and climatic condi-
tions may favor>the course. The be-
ginner, no matter how extended his
theoretical knowledge may be, will
have much to learn when 1t comes to
q question of practice, and although
the experienced man may succeed
with several varieties In his stud at
the same time, the prospects of the
newcomer will not be advanced by
adopting this course. He may re-
member, too, that, If making money
be his object, he will probably sue
ceed better by taking UP breed that
is in demand in his district, as by
doing SO he will probably be able to
dispose of his misfits more easily and
upon more advantageous terms.
When he has made his name, pur-
chasers will come from all parts for
mis- good horses, and therefore dis
tance is practically no object. The
misfit, however, will always be with
him, and, though the number of these
undesirables may be limited, they
will continually be making their ex-
istence felt. There is no royal road
for extinguishing the misfit, but the
best way to limit his appearance is
to breed only from the best and best
bred stock, following out the lines
upon which the most famous families
of the Stud Book have been produced,
and by avoiding all fantastic expert
ments. BY adopting policy such as
the above the horse breeder may rest
practically assured that success will
ultimately attend him; though possi-
bly, he may be called upon meanwhile
to exercise the golden gift Of pa
tience.

"Big Four" Among Gems.

In the gem kingdom the ruby, the
diamond, the emerald and the sap
phire constitute "the big four" and
take .precedence-and In the order
named-of all other precious stones.
The pearl is, of course, not stone;
1t has a standard of its own. The
expert test of the gem Is its color, its
degree of clearness and its perfec-
ton of cutting; upon the last de-
pends its brilliancy. In the diamond
the brilliant" cutting holds first
place. The other stones are cut al
together differently-they are crys-
talized in different systems; in fact,
they differ in another respect, the
diamond being a mineral carbon, the
finer ruby (the OrientaD a variety
of corundum, the emerald variety
of beryl, and the sapphire colored
variety of corundum. What Is tech
nically known as the step cut" is an

Ordering the Seasons.

Among the strange duties OF the
Emperor of China is one that neces-
states his ordering the seasons. It
is summer In America when the sun
warns the earth, and not till then,
but In China 1t Is summer when the
Emperor says 1t is summer. AS soon
as the Son of Heaven declares that
summer has come, everyone in China
puts off winter clothing and array
himself in summer garb, no matter.
what his feelings may say on the
subject. All domestic arrangements
are made to suit the season, as pro-
claimed by His Imperial Majest" al
though they may not suit the individ-
ual at all.
The nearest approach to the Chin
ese custom of ordering, the seasons is
the practice observed in France in all
public buildings. There 1t Is winter
on and after October 1. Fires are
then lighted in all government Offices
and the servants exchange their
white summrr waistcoats for the
thicker and darker ones Of winter.
At that date the public libraries are
closed at 4, and in the streets the
sellers of roasted chestnuts make
their appearance. In official France
1t Is winter, no matter what the wea-
ther may say and no mater what un.
official France may think.-Philadel-

cultivator to be used. A good bit Of
hand thinning can be saved by going
through the rows first with hoe
and cutting out hoes width, leav-
ing about three or four plants be-
tween the first hoes width and the
next. Carrots are free from insect
or other enemies, as rule, and de-
mand no extra attention.
There is no farm-raised animal
that doesn't relish carrots, from the
fowls up. The writer still believes,
at the risk of being called old fash
ioned, that we would have healthier
and more contented live stock IL we
fed more roots and less mill feed;
also that our farms would pay better

Sweet Potato HOtbed.

The most convenient size for
sweet potato hotbed is one that will
hold three barrels of potato seed.
Take for the back board sixteen
feet long and one foot wide and for
the front board the same length,
eight inches wide, the end boards
twenty-six inches long, to come even
with the front and back boards,
nailed to solid stake at each corner,
also a stake in the middle of each
sixteen-foot board. Then take a
spade and dig the dirt out so as to
make the bed twenty inches deep
from the top of frame boards: the
same all over the bed. Then fill in
with fresh stable manure and tramp
down to ten inches in thickness. The
manure should have considerable
bedding in it and stay heaped up at
least twenty-four hours before 1t is
packed in the pit, when 1t should be
shaken we'll and thoroughly mixed, as
some of the manure will heat sooner
than other parts and will cause an
uneven temperature and consequent
uneven sprouting.
After the manure has been placed
and we'll tramped so that 1t slopes
to the south, put in four inches Of
loose earth evenly all over the bed.
Let this stay until the dirt becomes
warm, then place the potatoes on so
as not to touch each other and then
cover two inches deep with fine loose
earth. If you find in few days that
your bed Is too hot, make sharp
stick and run 1t to the bottom of the
bed and leave several holes through
| the centre and the heat will soon es-
cape; then fill the holes again. AS
for sprinkling or wetting them, 1t is
not required, nor should they be
rained on until plants are we'll up;
| the steam from the manure furnishes
| all moisture that is needed. The bed
should be kept covered until sprouts
are well up, but the top may be re-
moved to give the plants air and light
when the temperature is not SO cold
as to injure the plants.-The Epito-

Two Ways Of Pruning Grnpevincs.

Two Ways of Pruning Grapevincs.
In all grape growing localities the
Kniffen system Is the best and cheap
est for strong growing varieties, such
as Niagara. 1t is best because 1t re-
quires less care and work, and 1t is
cheap. 1t saves money in time and
labor. Only two wires, instead of
three or four, are required for the
trellis. Slow growing varieties, such
as Delaware, are better trained on
the fan system, as they must be re-
newed from point nearer, the
ground. When following the fan
system the pruner can always cut to
good wood; when following a more
definite system, as the Kniffen, some
times he must cut at loss.
The fan system is briefly as fol-
lows. When planting, cut the vine
back to two buds: next spring, again
cut back to two buds; second spring
after planting, IL vine is strong, leave
one cane about two or three feet long,
and tie up to trellis wires. When
growth on this is about six inches
long, rub off all sprouts below the
point on the upright where 1t is de-
sired to start the fan. Third spring,
prune back to six or eight buds the
strongest canes that arise from near
a central point below the first wire;
tie about three of these fan-shaped
to the wires and remove all the rest.
The following seasons, renew the
wood from as near the trunk as pos
sible and increase the number of
arms to five or more IL growth Is
strong
A vine trained by the Kniffen sys-
tenn consists of an upright trunk or
standard and four arms. To produce
this result the young vine is treated
similar to the fan system for two
seasons. The second spring after
planting, select the strongest cane
and tie it straight and firmly to the
top wire, cutting everything else
away. The third spring, select four
arms, two on opposite sides of the
standard near the lower wire and two
similarly placed near the upper wire,
cut these back to six or eight buds ac-
cording to the length of the points
on the cane, tie them to the wires,
and remove all other canes. The
fourth and subsequent years renew
the arms with wood that arises from
a point as near to the central stand
ard as possible.-Canadian Horticul-
turist.

8. Whenever heavy, white frost
occurs, a storm is forming within
1000 miles north or northwest of
you.
10. The wind always blows In a
circle around a storm, and when 1t
blows from the north the heaviest
rain is east of you; if it blows from
the south, the heaviest rain is west
of you; If it blows from the east, the
heaviest rain is south of you; If it
blows from the west, the heaviest
rain is north of you.

worried.
Attorney Delmas brought out the
statement that May Mckenzie told the
witness that in May, 1906, White said
of Evelyn: Never mind, I'll get her
back"
Forty-two letters written by White
were identified by Evelyn and were
admitted as evidence. 1t is expected
they will throw light on the relations
Of Evelyn and White. Some of them.

Thaw had married the witness. Evelyn
said she told her husband what May
Mckenzie told her, and Thaw said he
had heard the same from May Nc.
Kinzie. According to the witness,
Thaw gnawed his teeth and got ex-
cited when his wife told him.
The witness testified TO undergoing
an operation in 1905, the year of her
marriage, and that Thaw paid the
bills for IL, amounting to $4,000. Evelyn
testified that after the marriage Thaw
talked continually of White. She said
he would sometimes wake up at night
and ask questions about White Said
that once, when she was visiting MAY
Mckenzie in the hospital In 1904
White conducted himself very i'm
properly toward her. and described
his actions. She said she told her hus-
band of this. Thaw declared that all
of the witness troubles, i'll health and
weakness, were due TO this man White.
Said she frequently talked to Thaw
about bringing White TO justice. Said
she told Thaw of other girls who had
suffered from White.
