Answer.-The main thing is to know
the habits of the plant. When this is
known its culture can be made sue
cess from the start. Ginseng Is a ma
tive of a rich, moist soil on which
hardwood timber will grow. 1t is
found from Maine to Minnesota and
southwark to the mountains in the
northern part Of Georgia and Arkan-
sas. Since the forest is its native
that he in a measure is working
against its natural habits when he at
tempts to cultivate 1t. The soil must
be considered very important thing
when casting about for those things
which insure success. Select a cool,
moist piece Of natural loan or where
the ground is loose and rich. The
natural hardwood forest could be
used to best advantage in starting the
seed A sandy soil, if it is rich and
retentive of moisture, will do very
well. In advising soils fetentive Of
moisture, it must be borne in mind
that it should not be what Is called in
Drainage is as necessary as moisture.
and if it is not provided for in the
excessively wet soils failure will be
the result.
Since the plant is a native Of the
forest, it can be seen that it needs
shade during the growing months. II
this cannot be obtained by planting
in the shade of trees, artificial shade
can be made by the erection of lath
sheds over the beds. A mulch of
leaves and well rotted horse manure
should be applied to the beds in the
fall. This is done to furnish condi-
lions which result from the natural
fall Of leaves.
Shade and mulch cause the soil to
retain much of its moisture. The seed
is sown in the fall, and the soil in
which it is placed must be abundantly
moist If the seed becomes dry 1t will
lose its vitality. Make the drills six
inches apart and place the seed about
two inches apart in the row. 1t takes
the seed about eighteen months to ger
inmate. The plants remain about two
years in the seed bed before they are
transplanted. When TRANSFORMING is
done it should be in rows about eight
inches apart each way. 1t requires
about six or seven years to obtain mar
ketable roots. OF course IL roots are
planted the product can be obtained
earlier, according to the age and vigor
of the stock used.

sown half an inch apart and covered

age conditions the seedlings will grow
twelve to twenty four inches in height

One pound of hardy catalpa seed
contains nearly 10000 seeds, which
will be sufficient to sow about 5000
feet of drills. Between 40 and rs per
cent Of the fresh seed should germi

produce about $4,000 one-year-old
plants.

Answer.-The inhabitants Of the is
land Of Jersey, from whence came the
celebrated Jersey cattle, have q very
simple way Of testing milk to tell the
pure from the impure. They simply
boil the milk in an enameled saucepan.
If it bois without curdling it is said to
be fit for use. If 1t curdles before ii
begins to boil they consider it impure,
and it is not used as food by the people
or their most valuable calves.
The cause of curdling is said to be
filth, acidity, age and contamination.
If the milk has been kept in vessels in
a room where there is a great deal OF
dirt, or if it contains a little dirt that
came from the hands Of the mixer or
from the udder Of the COW at milking
time, it will curdle when it is being
boiled. If it has been kept in room
where the temperature has been too
high the milk becomes tainted and will
curdle when boiled. If it has stood a
long time even in temperature which
is low enough to hinder it from becom-
ing sour it will slightly curdle. Milk
coming from diseased udders from
cows that have just freshened will
also curdle before it will boil.

presented by the common council Of
providing for extensive repairs or

municipal lighting. The plant has
fallen behind year after year, although
liberal appropriations have been made
for its support, and repairs have been
neglected till 1t Is little better than a
mass Of junk. An expert who recently
examined it decided that 1t would re-
quire $4,000 to put the plant in good
