TREES LIVE FOR CENTURIES
Six Thousand Years Is tho Age Of One
on the Canary Islands, and There
Are Numerous Others.

Knowing that some trees have
.eached the age Of several thousand
years, it is surprising that so many of
our shade trees should die so young.
The age Of a dragon tree on one Of
the Canary Islands is said to be more
than 5000 years; that of a bald cy-
press in Mexico is beloved to be more
than 1000 years, and that of an Eng
glish oak in Europe and big tree"
{Sequoia gigantea) in California is
known to be more than 1000 years.
Many trees also have attained to
enormous size, both in height and d.
ameter. The eucalyptus in Australia
Is known to reach a height of 40 feet
and the "big tree" the redwood, and
the Douglas fir in California often
grow to a height of three hundred
feet The sycamore and tulip tree in
the eastern states sometimes reach a
height Of $50 feet. The tree Of largest
diameter Is found at the base of
Mount Etna. in Sicily. 1t Is a species
of chestnut and It's trunk is more than
sixty feet in diameter. Some people
claim this remarkable tree is the re-
suit Of several individuals. The Orien-
tai sycamore comes next with a dia-
meter of about forty feet.-From
Trees in Winter" by Blakeslee and
Jarvis.

Real Uniformity,

Colonel G. is a fine commander
but not a musician. He sent for the
chief musician of his regimental band

criticism:

WATER FOR The LAUNDRY,
Convenient Method Where Running
Water Is Not Available.

Convenient Method Where Running
Water Is Not Available.
Where there is no running water
in the house a barrel with a faucet
placed about one-third of the distance
between top and bottom may stand in
the shed on washday. This should
be within equally easy reach of boiler
and tubs. This barrel or tank should
be filled with water the day before
the washing is to be done and the
water softened, if hard water is used.
1t is convenient to have this barrel
rest on a platform raised high enough
to allow the water to run by gravity
through the faucet and be carried
through a hose directly into the tubs
or boiler, but barrel at such height
Is often so difficult to fill as to render
such method impractical.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have pump very near the shed maj
be able to use the rubber tubing u
fill both barrel and boiler by pumping
water directly into them; provided
the elevation of the two permit. A
homemade drain leading from the
shed to safe distance from the house
and we'll, and emptying where the
water will be carried of and the
ground kept deodorized and clean by
moving air and bright sunlight, will
very much lessen the heavy labors
of emptying tubs, and deprive wash
day OF some of the dreaded exposure
which usually accompanies 1t. These
pipes must, of course, necessarily be
laid below the frost line.-Juniata L..

Before drilling grain or fax the
drill should be carefully adjusted
Why not repair and adjust the drill
and other farm machinery under shell
ter during the cold season? It is
true that the drill boxes usually bear
marks at which adjustment is to be
made for sowing at each of several
different rates per acre. In fact,
these marks are seldom accurate and
they are often inaccurate enough to
make the difference between q good
stand and a poor stand.
In adjusting the drill you first want
to know the distance it must be driV-
en- in straight line in order to plant
exactly an acre. This may be OBJ
tanned by dividing the number of
square feet In an acre (43,560) by the
width of the strip planted each time
the drill goes across the field, In feet.
The width of the strip will be about
six inches more than the distance
from one outside spout to the other.
When you have calculated the dis
lance which the drill travels In plant
ing an acre of ground, you divide this
by the distance around the wheel in
order to get the number of complete
revolutions which the wheel makes in
sowing an acre. When you have COM
puted this number of turns which the
wheel makes, you are ready to raise
one end of the drill and turn the
wheel as many times as it would turn
in sowing an acre. Weigh the grain
and If it amounts to more than you
wish to plant per acre, adjust the
drill accordingly and see how much
1t sOws after the REIMBURSEMENT.
After few trials it will be possible
to gauge good drill fairly accurate
ly. Instead of turning the wheel as
many times as 1t would turn in plant
ing an acre each time, the work may
be lightened by turning it only one
half or one-fourth as many times. H.
