PRESERVING NUTS FOR PLANTING. All kinds of nuts for spring plant ing should be kept in moist sand, m a cellar, or buried in the ground where mice cannot get at them, They will be quite safe if planted in the fall where they are intended to grow, which is nature’s way. ^uce the nuts get dry they will not sprout, or, if they do, they make a w’eak plant. They should thus be kept from drying, and the ordinary air-dry sand, which is a little moist, is just right for them. In the spring the Huts are planted where the trees are intended to remain, as the youug trees are not easily moved on account of the long tap root and the few side roots. It is a common practice among nur serymen to dig down to this root and cut it off when the plants are a year old. This causes surface roots L to be thrown out, and after this the trees are easily moved. There is no neces sity for the nuts to be frozen, as the moisture of the ground after the planting opens the shells, aided by the force of the growing shoot.—[Nexv York Times. GOOD RESULTS OF IRRIGATION. As another season is drawing near when we shall plant, there may be those interested in knowing with what success irrigation is attended in places where it is not thought profitable, or. at least is not practised. For the ben efit of such, writes Mark Hebron, I will give my last season’s experience with a garden. The jflece of ground selected was heavy clay, about 4x10 rods in dimension, with a gentle slope lengthwise. A windmill tank is at the upper end. In front of this tank I shoveled a ditch across the head of the garden; then bored the tank and turned the mill loose. When going to work I cut the ditch and let the water slowl^ leak down the rows, one row at a time, and changed the row about once a day. This - pro cess was kejit up during a drouth which lasted from July 1 to the end of the season. Although the soil was of a texture not suited to gardeu culture, the production was double that of neighboring patches not so treated ami having the advantage of better fioil. e had Crookneck squash, peas, tomatoes, etc., in great profusion. Those who carry water into gardens in pails will realize how much water it takes in a dry time, from the fact that it kept a Perkins windmill pumping steadily ail day and night to soak the ground between two of the rows thor 0u gWy.—[New York Tribune. forcing the pullets.

Look well to the nests, Have plenty of them handy, with u nest egg or two in each. Don’t omit the green stuff. Have it about, too, so that the pullets can get at it. Green food is very necessary when eggs are desired. Feed boiled oats of a morning with coarse ground corn nleal stirred in after the oats are boiled. It makes a splendid winter food and makes the pullets lay on cold days. Keep the henhouse clean, and keep dust handy for wallowing. Give the pullets a chance and they will amply repay you for all care and expense.— [Western Garden. FARM AND GARDEN NOTE3. Slight frosts make the oranges sweeter. It pays to consider mutton first and wool afterwards. Wheat is an excellent concentrated food for all live stock. An occasional oiling will prevent cracks and breaks in the harness. The average farmer does too much manual and too little brain work. Among pears the seckel is the most liable to be injured by overbearing. Take the chill from the water given to the brood mares in cold weather. Ths day of hay-wintered colts Btabled in the barnyard has gone by. The Devons were probably among the earliest breeds raised in England. A boar should be tractable, but pos sessed of abundant life and activity* This is the time to crowd the thrifty pigs weighing 150 pounds for market. The cross of Dorset rams upon grade Merino ewes is an oYcollont Litel e one. The successful dairyman must have a dairy cow, and give her dairy care. Ill the half-bred hackney the breeder has a graud type of general-utility horse. The proper development of the colts is a business which few under stand. The national meat inspection laws have been a failure, and ought to be repealed. House plants should be put in small pots for flowers, and in large ones for foliage. The tendency nowadays is to in creasing the production of the farm rather than its acreage. One good horse means profit and pleasure; a dozeu ordinary ones mean loss and disappointment. The more grain calves, colts, lambs and pigs are able to eat for a month before weaning the better. The care «nd keep of colts from in fancy to selling age affect their value more than most breeders realize. Good looks go a long way towards desirable • and , the ,, greatest . . a price, source of good looks is good care. There is a large surplus of horses in the country, but they are' of the kind horse-buyers do not want to invest in. Candied honey is popular in the English retail markets, where it is bought in slices in preference to fluid honey. If the dish-water aud wash-water is thrown around the peach trees, they will he long lived, free from worm and disease. It is said that the nameless bee dis ease can be prevented by watering the bees at home and adding a little salt to the water. If the bees have been wintered well there will be no need for them to cur tail brood-rearing on account of short age of supplies. A breeder who wishes to succeed should breed only the best to the best, and take care of both pedigree aud in dividuality as he proceeds. Young trees in the paths of sweeping winds will be benefited if steadied by tying them to stout stakes at least un til they have had time to become well established. SCHEY COt NTY NEVV8. Queer Plants Used as Food. At the department of agriculture in Washington, hidden away in an ob scure corner, is an odd sort of exhibit of queer f o0 j s oatou by out-of-the-way people, says the Star. There is a loaf of bread made from the roasted leaves £â€“ of j m ,i per berries. These are relished by some tribes of Indians, while others manufacture cakes out of different kinds of bulbs. The prairie Indians relish a dish of wild turnips, which civ ilized people would not be likely to enjoy at all. In the great American desert the “screw beans,” which grow on mesquite bushes are utilized for food. Soap berries furnish an agreeable diet for some savages in this country, while in California the copper-colored aborigines do not disdain the seeds of salt grass. Also in California the Digger Indians collect pine nuts, which are the seeds of "a certain species of pine—sometimes called “pinions”—by kindling tires against the trees,thus causing the nuts to fall out of the cones. At the same time a sweetgum exudes from the bark, serving the purpose of 'Bugar. TJie seeds of gourds are consumed in the shape of mush by Indians in Arizona. In addition to all these things the ex hibit referred to includes a jar of pul verized crickets, which are eaten in that form by the Indians of Oregon. They are roasted as are likewise grass hoppers and even slugs. These delica cies are cooked in a pit, being arrang ed .in alternate layers with hot stones. After being thus prepared they are dried and ground- to powder. They are mixed with pounded acorns or berries, the Hour made in this way be ing kneaded into cakes and dried in sun.

Hahn, of Wisconsin, but Salzer’s potatoes always get there. The editor of the Rural New Yorker reports a yield of 730 bushels and 8 pounds per acre from one of Salzer’s early po tatoes. Above 1410 bushels are from Salzer’s new seedling Hundred-fold. His new early potato. Lightning Express, has a record of 803 bushels per acre.
