A wriler on timber culture in one of

mistake, the bur oak being the very
slowest growing of any of our native
forest trees.
With the annual butchering has also

We feel like commending red clover
as the best grass to grow in the or
chard. It fertilizes the trees, makes a
fine mulch and does not rob the soil of
moisture, as do other grasses. It is
never a mistake to get clover in the
orchard.
A matter of 10.0CO laws have been
passed by the legislatures of the sev

great people to make laws and the most

ally and rigidly enforced without fear
or favor, the people would not let the
legislature meet of toner than once in
ten years.
We have a very excellent asparagus

year from planting and could not very
well be improved upon.
We have some Northwestern Green

Blue grass is the deadly enemy of
all orchard trees. We know that a
few men claim that blue grass in the
orchard wiil check the growth of the
trees and make them boar more fruit.
So will girdliug the tree or any process
which will injure the healthy growth
and development of the tree. In all
the north central states the apple
tree, and for that matter ail other
fruit bearing trees, need a!! the mois
ture during the heated summer term
which they can obtain, and a blue
grass sod under the tree defeats this
and robs the soil of nearly aii
moisture. Clover, the medium red. is
the best orchard grass. !t fertilizes
the soil while at the same time it con
serves the moisture.

j Where the grain is needed for feed
i on the farm more oat hay (oats cut
j just as tiie kernel gets into the dough
stage) should he put up. For feeding
on the farm there is no way in which
to get so much good out of the oat
crop as by this method.
The price of hay nearly doubled in
the community where the writer lives
during three weeks of the worst spring
roads vve have ever known. This need
not be if men would have forethought
enough to look ahead and provide
against such conditions.
In selecting trees for orchard plant
ing we would always take 2-year-
old trees in preference to older ones.
Usually the 2-year-old tree will get
into bearing almost as soon as a
4-year-old and will invariably make a
handsomer and more thrifty tree, and
you can buy 2-year-old trees for
much less money than the older and
larger ones and they are much easier
to set out.
CYCLONES.
We are asked why it is that the cy
clonic season is confined almost wholly
to the early summer days and why the
cyclone seldom is heard of after the 1st
of July. The cause of the cyclone is in
volved in a good 'deal of mystery even
to men who have made a close study
of this singular atmospheric phenom
enon. Some are inclined to concede it
an electrical origin, while others as
cribe it to the eiTort of nature to equal
ize extremes of temperature. While
very many of its manifestations indi
cate the possession of an enormous sup
ply of electrical energy, these manifes
tations may easily be an effect and not
a provoking 'cause. During tiie spring
and early summer before a thermal
equilibrium lias been brought about
between the earth cooled iw the long
winter and the air quickly warmed by
the spring suns conditions exist which
without doubt promote the formation
of these terrors of the air. The force
exerted by them will a!\vaysmain a
natural wonder and belongs to nature’s
outfit of worldmaking machinery which
includes the volcano, the earthquake
and the geyser. We only know a few
things about them. They usually come
between 5 and S o'clock p. m. They
almost invariably come from the south
west and travel to the northeast. Their
destructive area is not often more than
30 rods in width, frequently less, and
the distance traveled by them seldom
more than 20 miles, though in this par
ticular there have been some notable
exceptions. No building erected by man
is proof against their destructive pow
er, and the only safe place when they
are on deck is a hole in the ground.
The level countries are far more sub
ject to them than the mountain re
gions, for the reason that cyclonic
clouds are always very near to the
earth, and in the hill countries the ac
tion of the storm is broken up and in
terfered with by the hills. Given a sul
try May or June day, a marshaling of
ragged, ominous looking clouds in the
southwest, some rain and thunder and
later a dull roar like a heavy freight
crossing a big bridge, then is a good
time to get in the cave, if you have one,
or, if not, into the cellar close up in tiie
southwest corner. It may hit your
place, and it may net. and nobody
laughs at anybody else for respecting
these unwelcome visitors.

county fairs, a lady in Michigan
wishes to add as another good subject
for a premium to be offered by such
associations the best kept flower gar
den and the most attractive home

The offering of a substantial premium
for such tilings by a county society
would do much to stimulate the peo
ple in these lines of improvement.
