CYPRESS KNEES.
How They Are FOrmed-Trees' Curious
Blunt Roots.

Blunt Roots.
The cypress knee Is a familiar object
In all the lowland forests OF the sOuth,
but there are thousands of northern
peOple who have never seen them, anu
there are many southern people, 100,
who have not seen them till they
stumbled over them some dark night.
The knee Is Of solid wood, has no limbs
DR. leaves, Is anywhere from six Inches
TO six feet In height, and Its rounded
ton and flattened sides give 1t very
much the shape Of human leg bent at
The knee till thigh and calf are brought
together; hence the appropriate name
of knee"
For n number of years l was curious

the life of cypress tree, writes a cor
respondent Of Forest and Stream, tor
they are part of its root system and DO
not grow independently. They were
not sprouts, trying to grow into trees,
for they never developed branches, ana
the final conclusion was that their only
use was for people to stumble over
How and why such useless appendices
TO the tree were formed was mys'
terry until one day when drifting down
a deep channel which had been washed
through cypress swamp the scorer
was exposed.
The earth had been washed away
from the roots Of some of the trees
and roots In all stages Of growth were
in sight. None of these roots was less
than two and one-half inches thick ana
of uniform size clear to their tips OF
rather clear to their blunt ends, foi
| there was no tip.
Nature intended these roots to grow
In soft mud, and they were Oil righ'
for that purpose, but when the Dlun'
end OF root encountered something
too hard to push through 1t bent oil
buckled in the line Of least resistance
and this was generally toward the TOT

growth of the root pushing the benz
further upward made the bend closer

The Mohammedan Oath.

OF all the many forms Of taking the
oath used In the courts perhaps the
most picturesque Is that which the Mo
hammedah is required to tak& 1t Is a
silent ceremony The son of Islam
places his right hand fiat upon the
Koran and puts the other on his fore
head; then he brings his forehead down
to and in contact with the book He
then raises himself and looks up stead
tasty for some seconds. The officer OF
the court shonld then-though he some
times forgets this-ask the Mohammed-
an, "Are you bound by the ceremony
you have performed to speak the
TRUTH and the answer is, Il am" ID
India the ceremony has been abolish
ed in fayor>of an affirmation. -

PEACH CULTURE.

Some Practical Directions as to Soil
m and Treatment.
For peaches choose a warm, fertile
soil, not too rich In nitrogen, but with
plenty of phosphoric acid and potash.
A northern or northwestern slope af-
fords some protection from frost In
Jury. Hillsldes are safer against In
Jury from both frost and too much
moisture In the soil. A good sod or
green crop plowed under before plant
ing will furnish vegetable matter
enough. Afterward the soil may be
mulched.
Keep the Top Open.
Trees should be one year old and
trimmed low so that they can be easily
picked from stepadder. Keep the
top open and spreading, not removing
the lower limbs unless necessary. My
trees are set twenty feet apart each
way and fortified with 1000 pounds
of a complete fertilizer applied broad.

raised between the trees, followed by
cowpeas, which are plowed under the
following spring and another dressing
of an equal amount Of fertilizer ap-
piled. followed by another crop Of po-
tatoes. After that the ground Is kept
clean by narrowing, cultivation, spread
ing the two sections Of the harrow so
as to reach under the trees. After

fertilizers as the trees seem to need,

of any of our eastern grapes. A vine
or two of this high bred grape should
be in every garden.
In my opinion, the queen Of all
grapes, the handsomest, the most de-
licious. the most aromatic and the one
that pleases the most people, Is the
Niagara. 1t comes the nearest to being
the ideal all round grape. The aroma
of q NIAGARA vineyard in late Septem-
Der is percep,i3!c for a long distance.
Every grape has It's champions, but l

Garden MaeGzine. 1t will hang on the
vines until frost. and its amber color
aroma and honeycomb flavor increase
with every day. 1t must have good
soil, sweet and well drained, plenty OF
fertilizer and thorough spraying. CIV
