Sowing the Seeds Too Deeply

More seeds are probably killed by
sowing or covering too deeply, than
100 lightly.
1t is no uncommon thing to find
small seeds covered with quarter OF
over half an inch of soil.
Thousands so deeply sown perish
germs either never come to life at al
or are quite unequal to coping with
such a weight of covering earth.
Only the larger seeds of vegetables
should be sown from a quarter to one
inch in depth.
Peas, beans and such like seeds
may go underground two or three
inches, but the smaller vegetable and
flower seeds can hardly be covered
too lightly. provided they are covered
1t should always be borne in mind
that deep sowing ruins more seeds
than any other fault or mistake.
Thick sowing must also be guarded
against. Each seed should have room
to grow, without crushing or injurins
it's neighbor.
Overcrowding undermines the cul-
tivation of plants at the start, and
it is long before, if ever, they out
grow it.
OF course small plants or seeds may
be sown more thickly than the larger
ones, but relatively they ought really
not to be sown thicker.
Each plant should have sufficient
room to develop it's cotyledons and one
leaf before it is thinned or picked out
Every year vegetable crops are
much injured by being sown too thick
ly, and perhaps it is hardly too much
to affirm that most gardeners would
be the gamers, were only half the
seeds sown that there are now.
AS to what to SOW the seed in, the
lighter the seed bed the better.
Few seeds will vegetate in a lower
temperature than 40 degrees. and ir
the range of 90 degrees all seeds vii
grow.-W. r. Gilbert, Canada.

The Electroscope.

The electroscope Is an instrument
pends for it's action on the principle
that bodies charged with like electric
ity repel, while those charged with
unlike electricity attract each other
The ordinary pith ball suspended on a
silk thread is the simplest for. Of the
instrument.
The most common type Of electro
scope Is that devised by Bennett In
1887 and known as the gold leaf cleo
troscope. 1t consists Of two strips OF
gold leaf or thin aluminium foil sus-
pended from the lower extremity Of
conductor within glass bottle or jar.
The upper end Of the conductor ter
inmates in a ball or a plate IN case the
instrument is to be used as a condens-
ing electroscope. If a body charged
with positive electricity Is brought
near the knob Of the electroscope the
negative electricity will be attracted
to the knob and the positive repelled
to the leaves, which diverge. If now
the finger is touched to the knob the
positive electricity Is drawn off and the
leaves collapse, while the negative
electricity is held bound. Removing
the charged body, the leaves will di-
verge again. charged with negative
electricity. In this case the instru-
ment can be used to determine the ma
ture Of a charge Of body brought
near It, as with positive charge the
leaves will collapse and with a mega
tive charge spread farther apart.-Ex-

HOW TO TELL WoMANs AGE.
This Plan Will Trap Her Unless She Is
Suspicious.

Every man seems to be born with
a desire to know the age Of ladies
with whom he comes in contact. Wo-
men also appear to have an innate Gu
riosity concerning the number of
summers" which have passed over the
heads of their female friends. But
there is nothing more difficult to dis
cover than the exact age Of a woman
who wishes to keep the fact secret.
Now, here Is a little scheme which a
mathematician has just discovered to
find out the age Of any person.
Having engaged that person in pleas
ant conversation. you proceed some
thing after the following manner
speaking very innocently, OF course:
There is a very simple problem in
arithmetic which very few people are
able to see through, yet it is as easy
as possible. wonder If you can do
it."
This sets the woman on her dignity,
and she wants to do it at once.

to the numerical order of the month
in which you were born. Oh, no. you
needn't tell me-"
To make the explanation clear we
will assume that the figure Is 2, stand
ing for February, and that the age is
thirty.
Now, multiply that figure by o.
you continue, land add 5. Done that ?
Well. multiply that by so and add
your own age. From the total SUBJ
tract 365 and to the result add lis.
Now, what figure have you got?"
1.-TWO hundred and thirty" replies
the person addressed. Isn't that cor
rect?"
Exact" you exclaim. You are one
of the very few persons who have
managed it."
And you turn away to hide your
smile of satisfaction at having discov-
cred that your victim was born in
February and that she Is thirty years
Of age You have arrived at this re-
suit by separating the figures 23O In
a february and 80. And you can do
this with everybody's age. Try it on
your sweetheart.

Get Enouuh HORSEPOWER.

was once talking with a state COM
missioner Of agriculture, and remarked
that when l was farming on a large
scale | used ten mules. He said. that
is too many. A four-horse farm is all
that one man should have" and his
idea of a four-hOrse farm, was tract
of land on which, where l now live no
one would think Of using less than
eight horses. On such a farm as this
man indicated. every one Of the four
horses would be hitched to a plow to
plow the land for the crop. and ev-
cry plow would take man, and the
blowing would be about three inches
deep, while the eight horses would take
no more men. but the team would plow
at least six inches deep, and the same
four men would cultivate a far larger
area with two horse riding cultiva-
tors. We need to get away from the
old idea of estimating a farm by
horses, and should use all the horses
we can make profitable.-W. F. Mas

PLANTING and carinq For Trees.

When to plant fruit trees? While
they are dormant; while the ground
is in workable condition; late in the
fall, after the growth has stopped; OF
early in the spring, before it has be-
gun.
Where? In we'll drained soil.
How? Dig an ample hole: spread
the roots out in their natural position
and pack fine earth around them. II
Is handy to separate the clods from
the fine soil in digging.
There is always a balance between
the roots and branches of a tree, SC
that if many roots have been cut of
in digging the tree from the nursery
corresponding amount of top must
come off. If trees are planted in the
fall, some precaution should be made
against their being heaved out Of the
ground by the alternate freezing and
thawing. This can be done by spread
ing a thick layer of straw or manure
around the tree.
There are four essential points In
the care of fruit trees: Tillage, fer
tilization, pruning and protection from
enemies.
Tillage is just as necessary in tree
raising, as in corn-raising, and for
the same reasons: To avoid the COM
petition of other plants, to conserve
moisture, and to render plant food
available.
Intelligent pruning is also very nee
essary to raising fruit. Each bud on
a tree is capable of giving rise to a
branch, and If every branch is allowed
to grow, the tree will become too
dense.
We must thin out the branches in
the tree tops, or we shall have little
fruit. 1t takes moisture to develop
an apple and sunlight to color it; so
the foliage must not be too thick.
Pruning is also employed to make
the tree assume the desired shape. 1t
should also distribute the large
branches equidistantly, as nearly as
possible. 1t is always best to grow
a good strong branch on the southwest
side of the tree, where the hot suns
and the strong winds come from.
In pruning, we should cut the limb
in such a way that it will heal quick
ly. To do this the limb should al
ways be cut as close to the body as
possible, and parallel with it. A saw
should be used, and the wound must
be coated over with white paint, or
something similar, to prevent wheth-
ering, and infection from bacteria or
fungous growths. Another important
thing is to keep trimming off the ends
of the limbs on young trees.
There are three kinds Of enemies
that trees must be protected from.
The first of these includes rabbits,
mice, etc. A tall piece of heavy paper
tied around the base Of the young tree,
or a piece Of wire screening will settle
this matter.
The second class of enemies in
cludes the insects, Of which the scale
insects are the most dangerous. The
scale insects can be controlled by
spraying with lime sulphur wash, and
the chewing insects by spraying with
Paris green.
The third class of enemies consists
of fungous diseases. These can be
controlled by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture, which is composed as fol-
lows: Four pounds copper sulphate,
pounds lime, so pounds water.
