Transplanting* Tree*.
A writer in tho London Garden offers
good remarks in favor of more care
transplanting trees than many persons
them, the substance of which is as
First, tho ground should be
11 -broken up; secondly, tho hole for
the tree should be partly filled
fine mellow soil on which the roots
to be spread and pressed, which is
better than placing them on a
bottom. Every root should be
extended in all directions, and
soil then filled in—over tho bottom
first, and over tho upper og.es
If ample roots have been
when tho tree was taken up, no
is required, but when the ex¬
bracing is necessary, it is to be
with three galvanized wires fixed
a col ar at a convenient height, and
other ends to stumps driven into
ground at a proper distance from
tree. Wire appears better than
and is cheaper in tho end. Tar
may he used instead of wire.
Place* of Pig-* in Pa»fnre».

handful of sulphur over the bed.

submit to a discount of 20 per cent.,
amounting to about $25, and now lio
has returned to the old process. At
a woolbuycrs’ store I have seen unwashed
fleeces thrown into the general lot and
it i 3 doubtful if manufacturers make
much difference if any. In the absence
of desired information as to the true in¬
wardness of this woolwashing business,
it must he concluded that somebody is
taking advmtage of the woolgrowers
who fail to present washed fleeces. As
soon as they can get full price for un
washed wool minu 3 the weight of dirt
washing takes out, just so soon will they
bo glad to relinquish the unnatural pro
cess. It would be well to test one or
two fleeces this season by washing lAter
shearing and then one could know just
what shrinkage there 13.
Care and Handling* of Milk.
A Scottish authority, Mr. J. A. Ste¬
phenson, in a lecturo lately delivered
upon butter-making and marketing, has
this to say about milking and the record
of milk:
In addition to having suitable food
and pure water, dairy cows should be
provided with properly ventilated
houses, constructed in such a way as to
resist the heat of summer and coldness
of winter, and to ensure a circulation of
Iresh air without drafts. Uniformity of
temperature is very largely conducive to
a regular milk yield, and if its quantity
is dependent upon the kind and
amount of food consumed, its quality is
affected by the kind of air inhaled. Sc
far as concerns the purity and flivor of
milk and butter, there need be no hesi
tation in asserting that the expense and
study devoted to a proper system of
feeding is largely thrown away in tho
case of cows kep ct in an ill-ventilated
building and breathing a vitiated atmos
phere, charged with carbonic acid gas
and ammonia—the products of decom
position. A due proportion of oxygen
in the air breathed is essential to tho
purity not only of the blood of the ani
mal, but also of tli 3 milk, which is a
secretion from it.
The milking should be done in. a gen*
ts, thorough and cleanly manner. Milk
or “strippings left in the uddei
through careless or incomplete milking,
are cither re-ab^orbed into the system,

The heads of the Cambridge students
have been measured, showing that the
average brain capacity of a first-class
man is 244.56 cubic inches. The capa¬
city of the ordinary pass man’s head
measures 237.33 cubic inches.
Spiders rarely cause any trouble with
bees. Strong colonies are fully able to
repel them should they enter the hive.
All webs about the entrance should be
bru hed away, or bees will be caught
and devoured.
Alarm clocks are now made with a
small electric battery, which obviatos
the necessity of winding up the spring
alarm the night before it is used, The
electrical clock can be set to any given
five minutes of each hour, and the bell
will ring at that time, and will ring
until the switch is turned to cut off the
electric current.
One of the human footprints found in
volcanic rock in Nicaragua several years
ago is described by Dr. D. G. Brinton
as being 9 1-2 inches long, three inches
wide at the heel and 4 1-2 at the toe.
The apparent length of the foot itself is
eight inches. Dr. Brinton considers tho
footprints genuine, but is uncertain
whether they are so ancient as has been
supposed.
Dr. Paulinis mentions an epilcmic of
diphtheria, in 1884. which followed the
arrival of a flock of turkeys in Skiatos,
one of the Grecian ides, where no case
of the disease had previously been
known for thirty years. Some of the
turkeys were sick, and it is believed
that the diphtheretic gcrm 3 were con
veyed from them through the air to
first human victim.
