Apples will keep much longer if

Use any coarse litter that will hold
the snow to cover the spinach bed
Do it now.
Burn off the asparagus tops and ma
nure the bed. In the spring put on a
good layer of salt.
Vines and trees and almost every
thing grown on the farm are benefited
by lime and ashes.
Spray peach trees with lime water
as thick as can be used. 1t will pro
tect the buds from cold.
Four or Ave years is generally the
life of a blackcap patch, but they
should be renewed when decided fail
ure is apparent.
Pasturing sheep in a sod pasture is
advised. They are not apt to injure
the trees, they enrich the soil, and
their close cropping prevents the evap-
Grafton of moisture which occurs in
long grass.
Thin grape vines at any time before
spring growth starts, but when there
is no frost in the canes. If the old
vine is weak and not in bearing condi-
tion and you have a vigorous new
cane from the roots, cut away the old

The Japan walnut has been grown
grounds of the Michigan experiment
station, from which this branch was
taken.
of a sub-tropical appearance. While
they develop most rapidly upon rich
loan soil, such as is commonly known
as black walnut land, they thrive un-
der almost any condition, provided
there is fair amount of rlant food
and moisture in the soil.
The trees come into bearing when
planted three or four years, and from
that time bear continuously, IL given
good care. The nuts are produced in
large panicled clusters and somewhat
resemble the common butternut, or
white walnut, except that they are
slightly smaller and more nearly
ovate in form. They crack very read
lily and the kernels are easily removed
from the shells They lack the strong
flavor of the butternut, and on this
account would be preferred by most
persons, although. 1t does not com
pare with the hickory nut, pecan and
other nuts.
The luxuriant growth, handsome TO
liage, and the hardness of the tree
make it very promising as an orna
mental tree, and the productiveness
and edible qualities of the nuts give
to it additional value.

SubsolIlna in Orchards.

The advice is given to subsoil or
chards before the trees are set. This
may sometimes pay, but generally it
will not. The theories in favor of it
are not carried out by actual expert
snce. Whether or not subsoiling will
.ay is matter that will depend on
the character of the soil If the soil
Is very compact below the line touch
ed by ordinary plowing, subsoiling
should be very beneficial. II is impos-
sible to establish a rule that can be
applied to all soils, and most orchard
soils do not seem to return a profit
on the labor of subsoiling. The roots
Of the trees have great penetrating
power and will zip deep in ordinary
soils If they find plant food by SO
doing.

HARD WATER.

The editor of the New Auburn
(Wis.) Times has discovered some
skating frogs. Two spotted batrach-
ians staying out late on a nightly
jamboree were frozen out of their
winter home, clear sheet of ice hav-
ing formed on the pond where they
were wont nightly to croak, "'Tain't
deep! 'Tain't deep!"AThe frogs, much
puzzled, would Chamber onto the bank,

sliding several feet across the slippery
ice at each attempt. They were try
ing to jump into the water. The ice
was clear but hard! Finally, accord
ing to the Times editor, the green
frog said to his down-hearted com
panion, II thought you told me that

disgusted tone of voice, This is hard

Young man, it is not good form to
