Depth to Set Trees.

1t is often advised to set the trees
in the orchard two or more inches
deeper than they were in the nursery
row. So far as our knowledge of ex-
periments goes, this practice is not
followed by results either good or bad,
and this would indicate that the mat
tetr is of little or no importance. In
an English experiment, the expert
menters report that planting trees
four inches too high or too low has
not made any difference in the results
obtained, the trees having readily ad-
justed themselves to their normal
level. Trees appear to sink into the
ground az they grow" This appear.
ance is doubtless due to the pushing
up of the earth by the enlarging Of
roots.

SURELY WINS THE PALM.
One Mean Man Who Outdoes Some
Others.

Many stories have been told Of
mean men, such as he who used a
wart for collar-button and he whose
birthday gift to his son consisted in
washing the windows so that the
lad might watch the cars go by.
This man, however, seems to have
won the palm:
There was an extremely mean man
in New Hampshire, who was the pro-
prietor of hotel. BY his direction
rules were posted in the hostelry for
bidding almost every conceivable priv
ilege to those not guests of the place.
There was absolutely no chance for
the casual loafer to get newspapers,
pen, ink, stationery, etc. There were
not even free seats in the office.
One day, relates the Success Maya
zine, he chanced to observe chronic
loafer gazing at the old clock that
hung on the wall The next day a
sign was placed over the clock. 1t
read: This clock is for the use of
the guests of the hotel only

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Look for the brown-taiPs nest all
winter.
Don't dig the autumn leaves into
your garden now; make compost
heap.
Prune trees for fruit in spring as
soon as leaves are about full grown;
for wood growth in winter when dor
mant and wood is not frozen.
Do not delay in mulching the straw
berry beds, if not already done. Coarse
March hay is best, but use straw or
coarse litter rather than nothing.
Mice and rabbits sometimes burrow
into the snow and gnaw the bark Cf
the fruit trees. Go around the orchard
and stamp the snow in around the
trees.
Pear cider, or perry, is made In ex-
actly the same way as apple cider.
But perry is much less palatab1e than
apple cider, and has never become
popular in America.
In laying down raspberries TO. win
ter, remove little soil from Cne side
of the plants, loosening the roots on
the other. Then lay down the plants
in the direction from which the soil
was removed, and cover the heads
lightly with earth.

BALM OF SCRIPTURE.
HEALING PROPERTIES OF PINE
KNOWN TO ANCIENTS.
Oil Of the White Pine Tree Used Sue
cessfuIIy by Physicians in Treat
ing Consumptive Patients.

The Oil of the Pine Tree is sup
posed to be the balm of Scripture. 1t
contains great medicinal properties
and was regarded with the utmost
esteem by the ancients, and to the
present day is peculiarly priced by
the people of the East.
A noted authority on diseases of the
throat and lungs, who established a
camp for consumptives in the Pine
Woods of Maine, says that his entire
treatment consisted of fresh air,
nourishing food and the Pure Virgin
Oil of the White Pine Trees, mixed
with Whisky and Glycerine in the fol-
lowing proportions:
Virgin Oil Of Pine (Pure) .hoz.
Glycerine .................. q"
Good Whisky ...............
Used in teaspoonful doses every four
hours.
1t is.claimed the above mixture will
heal and strengthen the lungs, break
up a cold in twenty-four hours, and
cure any cough that is durable.
The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription druggist
at small cost, and can be easily mixed
in your own home.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up
only in half-ounce walls for dispensing.
Each vial is securely sealed in a
round wooden case with engraved
wrapper with the name-Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), prepared only by
Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, o.
plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank limitations of Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), which are put out
under various names, such as Con-
centrated Oil of Pine, Pine Bal
sam, etc. Never accept these as
substitute for the Pure Virgin Oil of
Pine, as they will invariably produce
nausea and never effect the desired
result

PLANTS THAT STORE WATER.
Product of Sonora Desert Which Sci
entists Have Gone to Study.

A gentleman connected with the
Carnegie institute will leave this coun-
try shortly on an extended exploration
of the deserts of central and southern
Mexico to study the storage of water
by certain plants growing in those re-
gions.
1t has developed that in places
where there is only a slight, irregular
rainfall, plants peculiar to the district
have no special reservoirs for the stor-
age of water, while in regions where
the rainfall is confined to brief regu-
lar periods, plants are found which
are provided with various devices for
storing water for consumption during
dry spells.
An example of this provision of ma
ture has been discovered in ''guare-
qui," a Relative of the squash and
pumpkin, which fiourishes in the des-
ert of Sonora, a locality in which all
the rain falls in period of six weeks.
The base of the stem of the plant is
swollen to form hard woody struc-
ture, in time reaching the size of a
large squash.
The gray of the sands of the Sonora
is initiated in the color of the cover
ing of the mass, presenting the ap-
pearance of a worn gray boulder pro-
jecting above the sand, while the
structure is as hard as stone. This
structure catches the rain and holds
it, doing out the precious drops to
the plant during the dry spell follow
ing.
At the close of the rainy season the
vinelike stems of the plant die down,
the small roots dry up, and the plant,
in the form of its tuber, lies dormant
on the burning sands throughout the
long hot months following.
When the rainy season again re-
turns the plant reforms it's roots,
stems, leaves and flowers, completes
it's short season of activity and then
resumes it's inactive life through the
succeeding dry season, repeating the
performance year aftetr year. Some
of these plants have accomplished this
feat five years in succession.

Japanese Hot Baths.

In Japan hot baths are used at a
temperature Of 104 degrees. Fahren-
heit. Immediately they leave this
the bathers plunge into perfectly cold
water. A European doctor who has
spent many years in Toxic declares
that, after bath of this heat and the
subsequent douche, he used to feel
warm all day in the coolest winter
weather, while in summer the bath
had the exactly contrary effect, and
was most cooling and refreshing.

SIiahtly Mixed.

A travelling salesman died suddenly
in Pittsburg, Pa, and some of his
friends telegraphed the undertaken an
order to make large wreath.
Investigation showed that the tele-
gram ordering the wreath read as
follows:
REST in peace on both sides of
the ribbon; if there should be room:
We shall meet in heaven"
The undertaken was out of town,
and the new assistant handled tho
job. 1t was startling floral piece
which turned up at the funeral The
ribbon was extra wide, and it bore
the inscription:

there is room we shall meet in

Senator Spooner of Wisconsin sur
prised some members of congress with
whom he was chatting the other day
by announcing that he has never taken
part in congressional junket of any
kind. Il never shall undertake such a

tionable to me in members of congress

Spooner said he had never been

dered Grape-Nuts for me- I could eat
the new food from the very first
mouthful. The doctor kept me on
Grape-Nuts and the only medicine
was a little glycerine to heal the

when I was up again doctor told
me to eat Grape-Nuts twice day and
no white bread for two years. l got

is met with along that river and also

the india rubber creeper, valuable
source of rubber, abounds. There are

Varieties of Fruit.

Varieties of fruit are constantly

are no improvement on the old and
are widely sold simply because widely

ing sketch. This plan is said to have
worked very satisfactorily when it has
been adopted. On account of the
natural fall of the land, it is some
times impossible to follow out this
idea literally, but Mr.. Thomas early
experience seems to coincide with the
observation of the practical fruit
growers of latter days, says Farm and
Home, that is, if the orchard is To-
Gated upon soil in need of draining,
it will be necessary to lay tile to re-
move surplus water before satisfac-

Blossoms on Young Trees.

In the fifth report of the Woburn ex-
perimental fruit farm of England, it
is stated that the removal Of apple
blossoms was found to be very bene-
fetal in the growth and future pro-
ductiveness of early-bearfng trees.
Trees thus treated appeared to bear
heavier crops for several years after
wards and not only the year when
they were first allowed to bear. With
varieties that came into bearing
later, it was not of so much advan.
tage.

GRASS IN THE ORCHARD.
A Discussion as to the Benefit Of the
System.

There are those that believe in
keeping the orchard covered with
grass and there are those that believe
from the orchard. The people that be-
lieve in keeping the orchard grassed
say that it saves g great deal of labor
to keep the land covered with sod and
that the fruit when it falls on the
ground does not become soiled. The
sentimental side of orcharding favors
the grassy carpet under the trees, for
who could have sentiment toward
the orchard area kept so thoroughly
worked that there would be dust
mulch over it in d>v time and a
mud carpet over it in act time? So
far, the experiments havo seemed to
show very much in favor OF clean cul.
ture of the orchard area as against
the grass covering.
In England some orchardists under
direction of an experiment station
have begun the investigation of the
effects of a half covering of grass.
The experiments have not been con-
Quoted for enough years to be con-
elusive, but some remarkable results
have been obtained, which are not
easily explained. The old New Eng
land plan of digging up the ground
for distance of about six feet from
each tree was followed. In some OF
the experiments this circle of grass
came to within five and half feet of
the trees. 1t was surprise to the eX-
perimenters that the fruit on the
orchards so treated was double that
on the trees not so treated. Fruit
which normally was green streaked
with red became deep red in color
and in storage kept much better than
it had kept before. One variety kept
three months longer than It had been
in the habit of keeping end another
variety was still sound in June.
The same eXperimeIters, says
Farmers Review, in some previous
tests had shown that the trees and
fruit were greatly injured by having
the whole orchard area IL grass, and
they were greatly surprised to find
ludI IIlt ICSulIS vi q pol Il'lI tofOiih5
of grass was beneficial. 1t was shown
by investigation that little Of the roots
of the trees entered the grassy area,
but that they obtained some kind OF
material that they did not find in the
soil that had no grass. In a report the
experimenters, referring to this fact,
say: "Yet the roots that reached into
the grass ground must have conveyed
to the trees something that had the
power to modify the whole character
of the crop. This points strongly to
the view that the action of the grass
is due to some active poison"
This is new phase of the subject
that should have further study on
both sides of the Atlantic. 1t requires
thousands of experiments to thorough
ly demonstrate fact of this kind, and
we caution our readers against leap
ing to the conclusion that the general
quality of our apples can be greatly
improved by at once partially grassing
over the orchards. A single series Of
experiments should not be taken as
an index of what is profitable, for
there are many unknown quantities
entering into such experiments.

Life of Horses and Doqs.

horses average from 20 to 80 years of
life, and dogs from IL to IA years. A
French encyclopedia credits the horse
with 80 to 40 years, the dog with 20

uncertainty in these figures to cause
doubt whether detailed study has been
