Predicting Frosts.

One Of the most important fruits of
the establishment of the Mount Rose
weather observatory in the Sierra Ne
vada near Reno, New. at an elevation
of 1O,SO0 feet is the discovery of a rule
by which the appearance of frost in the
Truclee and Carson valleys below may
be predicted with positive assurance
from twenty-four to thirty-six hours in
advance
BY comparing relative meteorological
data for San Francisco and Reno at
G,20O feet elevation, and Mount Rose,
10000 feet elevation, a constant CORE
spOndence is observed between fall in
pressure and fal! in temperature ena-
bling frost representations to be made
with certainty. The station was estab-
lished originally with the idea of gath
erfng information which would be avail
able in predicting the weather condi-
tons for the districts farther east

For fruit tree planting, when the
sub-soil is clay and apt to be water
logged, not only should it be we'll drain
ed first, but the bottoms of the holes
in which the trees are planted should
have placed in them some coarse rubble,
to act as drainage also. Apart from
such material helping to keep the roots
out Of the clay below, it serves also to
keep them fairly dry and aerated, and
that is very important for the future
health of the trees. In making holes
on such ground, throw out to fully
three feet wide and twelve inches deep.
Into each hole then put four inches of
old brick and mortar material, or
clinker, or other hard, coarse material.
we'll trodden and Ieveled. Upon that
put, if obtainable, pieces of turf, upside
down, then three inches of soil, and
plant the trees. In that way not only
will the roots be kept near the surface
and be healthy, but because the trees
are on slight mounds, they can be fed
each summer with a mulch of manure.
Too much trouble can not be taken in
planting trees on stiff soil, to keep the
roots near the surface.

Starting EARLY Potatoes.

As soon as the frost is out, I select

When the sprouts are or more inches

Splendid April Tonic.

This is known as Blood Cleaning
Time" especially among the older
folks, who always take something dur
ing this month to clean the blood of
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by well-knoNn authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract DandeliOn one-half
ounce, Compound KargOn one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak-
ing we'll in a bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which becomes impOv-
erished and almost sour after the win
ter season, especially those who are
subject to rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid
ney and Bladder trouble
1t is said that one weeks use Of this
mixture will clear the skin OF sores,
pimples or boils
This is sound, healthy advice, which
will be appreciated by many readers.

CuItiNntinG. the Garden.

The majority of farmers give but lit
tie attention to gardening. They regard
the spade, hoe and rake as implements
which involve too much time and Ia
Dor. If farmer desires to grow
corp of any kind he prefers to do the
work with a pillow and cultivator and in
q wholesale manner. This repugnance
TO using the small tools, in order to
grow a supply of vegetables, has been
the cause of depriving hundreds of
farmers of luXuries that would have
cost but little if they had considered
the value of the crops from garden,
and also the real cost compared with
crop Of grain or potatoes. But there
are, however, some farmers and their
wives who know how a garden helps
to make a farm enjoyable, and they
are the ones who will now enjoy the
work of planting the seeds of the many
different kinds of vegetables, for there
IS no portion Of farm life so agreeable
as that of preparing the ground in the
spring for the garden. There has been
an advance in the system of gardening.
While the hoe, rake and spade still
hold place in the list of garden tools,
yet they have been superseded mainly
by the single and double wheeled hoes
and seed drills, which save time and
labor and which can be used for doing
good work.

Future Price of Beef.

1t is probable that prices of beef will
be higher the coming winter, and there
should consequently be a profit in cat
tie. 1t may be that refrigerator beef
usurpation Of the market by such beef
has been due to inferior cattle and the
difficulty of getting a constant supply
of choice beef in the East, compared
with that sent ready dressed from the
West. When Eastern farmers are pre-
pared to supply cattle of the best quail
ity they will possess local advantages
that should give them control of the
whole market, but they must first i'm
prove their breeds

GIeGnings.

When farmers are busy in the spring
they are liable to neglect many matters
which should command their attention.
Get the implements in readiness and
sharpen the tools. The grindstone is
a valuable adjunct to good farming, if
thorough work is desired.
1t is no easier to keep poultry than
any other stock, as labor and proper
management must be used to meet sue
cess. Less capital may be required
with poultry, but it must be iudiciously
expended, or a loss can result as easily
as from any other source. Experience
is of more value than capital in poultry
raising.
The food left over on the ground fer.
ments and decomposes in a very short
time on a warm day, and it therefore
becomes one of the main sources of
gapes in chickens and cholera in fowls.
Filth in the summer season should
never be allowed. 1t is we'll to do away
with troughs entirely, feeling only
whole grains and scattering the food as
much as possible.
1t is. perhaps, the proper system to
water the animals at regular periods.
especially horses; but animals differ,
and may desire water at times when
they do not receive it To give all ami
mails free access to water is not con-
trary to the natural law, as they are
sometimes better judges Of eating and
drinking, so far as they are concerned,
than their owners.
Ensilage should not cost the farmer
over 81 a ton, and fifty pounds a day is
a large ration for a COW. This is forty
rations per ton, at 211a cents a ration,
and hence will provide for one COW for
forty days. There is no food that can
be produced at a lower cost. The en-
silage is not of itself a complete food,
as the best results are derived when
hay and grain are also allowed; but it
cheapens the cost of the whole and pro-
vides succuIent food in winter, when
change occurs from grasses TO the regu-
lar dry rations Of that season.

Feeding Animals

In the feeding of animals the farm.
er, by his knowledge of the difference
between fesh-forming foods and those
that form fat, is enabled 10 so combine
the different foods as to provide for
all their wants. Knowing that the al
buminoids" heterogeneous foods) pro-
duce muscle Clean mean) and milk, he
should, in order to allow for heat and
fat balance the foods for the purpose
of avoiding too much of the one kind
and not enough of the other On an
average, the proportion of heterogeneous
foods to the carbonaceous is as one to
six Though the proportion may vary,
according to circumstances, or, rath-
er, he should add six times as much of
the carbOnanecous as he does of the nj
trogenous. The conditions. however,
affect the proportions. as less carbon is
required in summer than in winter,
hence during the warm season the nj
trOgen may be increased and the car
bon diminished; but, if the weather is
very cold, the proportion of carbona-
ceous matter, on the contrary, should
be increased.

Economizing Garden Space.

If you have early peas, SOW them in
a block rather than in long drills. AS
soon as they are harvested, plant,
squash Hubbard does well after early
peas if water is ample. If sweet peas
are grown, a row of onions may be
grown on each side Of the peas with
out detrtment to either. The evergreen
onion is particularly we'll adapted to
this. On rich soil it natures long BE-
fore the peas bloom and may be har-
vested. Late cabbage may be set in
the rows of early onions and make
their growth after the onion harvest

Small FruifS

Frequently two crops may be had on
the same plot during the year. such as
early peas followed by late cabbage, or
turnips may follow onions; but the
soil should be rich and we'll supplied
with manure or fertilizer. One advan-
tage with a small garden is that during
the dry season some of the crops can
be watered by the use of the hose or
sprinkler. Inexperienced persons should
not expect complete success the first
year, but there is nothing too difficult
to learn, and the second year should
prove satisfactory if the season does
not become too dry. The principal
small fruits are blackberries, straWber-
rleS and raspDCrries, but gOOSeberries,
currantS and grapes are also included.
that receive attention during the entire
year. The strawberry will thrive and
bear well with but little cultivation on
some soils, and often receives no care
after the plants have been set out, 9th
er than to run the cultivator down the
rows once or twice, but it will pay well
for any extra labor that may be ap-
piled, however. The largest berries are
grown from plants in single stools, but
the largest yields are obtained from the
matted row system. The first essential
is to get the young plants in the ground
as soon as possible, so as to afford them
an opportunity to grow and make head
way before the dry season comes on.
High winds and q dry soil will make
quick work of young plants. The rows
should be just wide enough apart to
admit of the use of the horse hoe, and
the ground should be kept very loose
around the plants in order to guard
against drought as much as possible.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change a,
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from u
peach which is rudelv handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, q faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
ncsscs which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the check
of its freshness and the form of it's
fairness.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of the mu-

this tube is iniamed you have a rumDlng
sound or imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal cond-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine

Lime for Fungi.

There is a fungus which sometimes
attacks carrots and turnips, causing de
cay at the roots, or misshapen
growth, or a whitening of the leaves.
This may be prevented by a liberal SOW
ing of air-slaked lime upon the soil,
thirty or forty bushels per acre, and
narrowing it in before the seed is sown,
as the fungus lives in the soil. But it
is usually better and cheaper to put
the root crops on new land where this
fungus has never appeared.

SAYS LIGHT INCREASES BLOOD.
Scientist Finds Relation Between Colors
and Heart Action.

DIR. Oerum of the Finsen institute at
Copenhagen has just carried out num-
Der of experiments on the effect of light
on the blood. He has found that dark
ness reduces the total amount of blood
by to 3.3 per cent, while decreasing
at the same time the amount of blood
contained in the heart. Red light has
an effect like that of darkness, while blue
light is apt to result in an excess of
blood and an increase in the amount
contained by the heart. Light baths
are likely to increase the amount of
blood in the course of four hours. Dark
ness will increase and intensive light
will reduce the blood pressure. Animals
born in the dark or in red light have Il
greater weight but only half the amount
of blood of those born under normal
conditions.
