ORCHARDS IN GRASS.

II has been demonstrated in the
last few years that clean cultivation
for orchards produces the best re-
suits, says the Apple Specialist. 1t
has been a common practice to allow
a mature orchard to remain in grass.
A great many orchards are set on
steep hillsides where cultivation is
almost out of the question, but quite
q number of our best Orchardists adj
yocate that the ground should be
stirred quite frequently from early
spring until the first of July, when
cover crop is to be provided to pro-
tect the roots during the winter. Cow
peas and rape have been recommend
ed for a cover crop and no one can
doubt the ACCESSIBILITY of this method,
But on the other hand, a great
many advance the idea that a COM
mercial orchard should not be culti-
waited. There is an orchard close to
Delaware, Ohio, on very rich land,
which is owned by a Mr.. Vernon, and
It is said that few years ago, when
apples were a failure in most cases
in Ohio, he had quite a good crop.
Thousands of bushels of perfect APP
pies when they were worth so much,
made his orchard famous. His trees
were allowed to branch quite low,
and the grass in the orchard after It
had been cut is raked under the trees
for a mulch. Some of the trees have
been bearing forty years and no pillow
or cultivator has ever been IN the
orchard, and from every point OF view
Mr.. Vernon seems to have made a
great success.
Another orchard that seems to
have been a very successful producer
is one owned by Mr. Grant Hutchins.
of Onondaga, n. Y, 1t seems to be
a common opinion that apples that
are grown in sod are of a higher
color. And it is also claimed by those
who know best that they are Of a bet
ter quality and last longer. The trees
are longer lived and this is advocated
by our friend, H. NJ Stringfellow, Of
Texas. Mr.. Stringfellow says that !
grass is natures covering of the soil
and If properly managed does the soil
no harm, but Is a positive benefit. 1t
not only prevents the soil from be-
too hot in summer, but 1t pre-
vents the frost from penetrating too
deep in winter. 1t is not SO very long
since that thousands of fruit trees
all over Wisconsin were killed, root |
and branch, on account Of the ground !
getting frozen to a great depth. No |
tree can live with all the roots in
frozen soil for the sap Will soon dry
out Of 1t and 1t dies.

neat cotton dress and turban, her
kerchief, and her large, friendly look
ing apron, were suggestive Of scrupu-
lous neatness. l soon learned that
Aunt Peggy was an autocrat in her
way, a perfect queen of the kitchen.
She would allow no disorder around
her, no loud talking and certainly no
interference.
She had her own way OF reckoning
time, too, for / found soon after she
came that she was unable to read the
time on the clocks. She devised a
system of notches on the window sill
which was as accurate as any time
piece in the house, and moreover,
they never ran down. / gave her a
sand glass to tell how long an egg
should boil for those who liked them
soft, and she was to reverse the glass
when the eggs were to be boiled lit
tie harder She thanked me for the
contrivance, bit l found later that
she never used It. She had her own
ingenious method. To get the time
for a soft boiled egg she would sing
several verses of an old negro mel
ody. and twice as many for an egg to
be boiled about three minutes, She
could keep perfect reckoning of
the number Of lines she would sing,
and I seldom remember an egg that
was either over or under done when
boiled to this time.-From Aunt

WOMAN A WORLD POWER.

Woman is stlll in the ring, and
holding her own. Who is the man
who holds the key to the political sit
uation in Europe? London and Paris
papers say It is his royal highness,
the Archduke Franz Ferdinand. heir
apparent TO the throne of Austria
Hungary, who has subdued to his will
not only the old emperor, Francis
Joseph, but Emperor William him
self. All diplomatic issues affecting
Europe-declare the London Stand
ard and the Paris Figaro.-must be
referred to the archduke, and no
great decision is passed upon without
his sanction. Well, this mighty po-
tentate, 1t is well known, is controlled
by his wife-that homely Sophie
Chotek whom he married morgan
atically) in defiance Of the emperor S
mandate, and who maryelously trans
formed the broken-down roue-"the
widest prohigate in Europe"-into
a model husband, and a strong,
healthy man.
In China-the coming world pow
er-Prince Chun, regent over the
nearly four hundred millions of Gel
estials, is said to be controlled in all
public movements by his rather deli
cate Mauchu wife and his own three
half-sisters. So much for the woman
behind the throne. In our country,
there are a number of men high in
Office who ask their wives opinions
upon state matters, and often act up
on their suggestions.-Mary E. Br--
an, in Uncle Remus's Magazine.

SMALL GARDENS.

Potatoes for winter use are usually
omitted from small gardens because
they arc a staple product, while most
other vegetables are a luxury and
their value is largely dependent upon
their freshness.
The large growing vegetables which
require wide planting are corn, pole
beans and vines. These give much
smaller returns from the space occu-
pied than the small vegetables.
The small vegetables are beets, car.
rots, lettuce, onions, radishes, spin
ach, tomatoes, etc, II you fill a small
garden with these the yield will be
proportionately larger. - Farmers

Sion So Much Hand Work.

Now is the time TO determine that
you will not waste human labor by
running plows four times in the rows
but will sit on the cultivator while a
pair of mules works both sides of the
row at once, doing it far better than
any pillow or sweep can do 1t.
With all the complaint about the
scarcity of labor, the cotton farmers,
as a rule, are using more human labor
than is needed, because of the lack
of the proper implements for SAVING
the labor. Good large plows' good
harrows, good two-horse eultiyators'
all save human labor and mule power
is far cheaper than a darkey at the
end OF a hoe.

WEDDING INVITATIONS.

In the matter Of wedding invita-
tions the notice given varies some
what, according to the importance OF
the function-that is to say whether
it is to be a smart wedding or quiet.
In the first instance, the regulation
notice Is from three weeks to a fort
night. in the second, a fortnight or
even less is not unusual.
The invitations to smart weddings
are issued in notes printed in ink,
not in silver, while to quiet weddings
written notes often take the place of
printed,
The form OF the invitation is as fol-
lows: "Mr. and Mrs. A--request the

LIFE OF ASPARAGUS BEDS.

How long will the asparagus bed
last? A suburban market gardener
says he has 4 large bed about twenty
years old which has about run out.
The roots have grown into a thick
mass all over the field The rows
of sprouts have widened until It Is
difficult TO cultivate at all, and the
stalks have become small. Repeated
losses by winter killing have left
large gaps in some places. To reno
vate such a field is a hopeless job and
20 kill out the asparagus is almost
equally difficult. Perhaps the easiest
way to reclaim the land will be to
chop up the surface with 4 wheel
harrow, and SOW to oats and barley,
followed by rye. 1t will take several
seasons to kill out the plants. 1t may
be said here that an asparagus bed
will last much longer than twenty
years If the plants are set in wider
VOWS and farther apart in the row.
Plants which have plenty of room
for their roots will send up large
sprouts when fifty years old in land

above mentioned the plants were
crowded only six inches to a foot
apart. with less than four feet be-
tween the rows,-Americ2a Cultiya,

Occasionally guests are merely

acquaintance are only expected to
attend at the church, But relatives
will meet at house subsequently.
We have been frequently asked,
says the Queen, whether a choral SER
vice should be held at this style OF
wedding, and whether floral decora-
tions in the church are in good taste
under the circumstances The an
swer to both these questions is in the
Affirmative, always supposing that the
wedding does not follow close upon
a bereavement, n which case flowers
and music would be rather out Of
place.
Some brides wear white on these
occasions, but It is white cloth or
some similar material, and not what
is known as bridal attire with its ac-
complaining court train. Whether
the bride wears white or gray a
toque takes the place of a veil, and
she invariably carries a sheaf of lilies
in lieu Of a bouquet, while some-
times she carries a prayer book and
not the flowers. It is very rarely that
bridal attire is worn by bride when
