M Morns, of tile Oklahoma station. The land should b. plowed deep so as to give as deep soil as possible. Most of tlie prairie toll in Oklahoma is very poor in humus or decaying vegetable matter. Sucn lands should be well manured before the orchard Is set. The manure should be scattered evenly over the field and turned under with the turning plow. The practice of applying large quantities of mac .ire in places where the tree is to sta id can not be recommended. Tills pr rctice tif uneven manuring Is untiall; carried out In one of two wa"s. The manure is applied very thickly !n the immediate vicinity of the tree and worked into the soil or It is thrown In dead furrows that are made In the row where the trees are to be set, and then covered. The manure will decay faster If evenly distributed over the land. The trees will gather food from all directions and form a bett r root system. Where the fertilizer is unevenly distributed, the roots seek the most fertile soil and are developed there in greatest numbers. As a result the water is taken out of such places very fast and in dry weather these spots dry out and the greater part of the root system Is left without water. Trees set on such land will always suffer more for water than on soil evenly fertilized. Is beneficial on soil that has a hard clay subsoil. Throwing out a deep dead furrow where the row of trees la to stand and then filling again after the trees are set is often of value both to loosen the subsoil and to help drain the land. These furrows should run up and down the hill and be as deep as is possible to make them with the tools at hand. The water that stands on the ground seldom docs any harm to the trees, but the soil becomes packed and in a little dry spell bakes and dries out very rapidly. A short time before the trees are set the land should be stirred deep and the soil well pulverized and left in a smootn, level condition free from dead furrows and g ridges. ; Attention to Breeding. When man first clone .iticated the fowls of the jungle he had no thought of the wonderful tilings that were to develop from them through the science of brer ding. It is altogether likely that the first distinct breeds came into existence gradually and a3 a result of the differing conditions of the countries in which they were raised. It is believed the first fowls domesticated were those of India. From that point they were taken east, north and west. In the beginning they had all one general set of characteristics. But In the course of time the fowls of China developed in one way, the fowls of India in another and the fowls of tin1 vaiious countries of Europe in other ways. At first no attempt was made by man to direct this development, that . eing a result of place and conditions. So nt the beginning of imiltry islory we find a few distinct breeds that have since been named after the locality from which each came. Thus, from the north of Asia we have obtained the Langshan, from the south of Asia me Brahma, and from Europe the Leghorn and the Dorking. These were pretty good breeds, when we remember they vere the result of breeding without an object. During the last 70 yearn a great many new breeds have been created by fanciers, who appreciated the possibilities locked up In the fowls anil which might be brought out by selection and breedDoubtless the coming hundred ing. years will see an enormous Increase In The number of distinct bTceds of poultry and a general improvement in the special points for which each 13 bred. Every farmer should be a breeder to a considerable extent. He may not originate new varieties, in fact should not waste his time in trying to develop these, hut he can do the same thing, in fact, that is, develop a strain of birds of more than the common value. Many of the breeds we now have are no better than the ones out of which they have been developed, their distinctive markings in color and form being about the only qualities their parents did not possess. But the farmer may well develop strains that will prove earlier maturing, better laying, healthier birds than were their immediate ancestors. The laws of breeding are to be studied to advantage and when understood will open the way to both pleasure and profit. The neglect of the laws of improved breeding is responsible for much of the poor stuff now to be found on our farms. We have to say, however, that there has been a great improvement in the last ten years, at least in the matter of meat producing birds. The farmer that has a flock of 10 hens can well afford to adopt some regular system for his breeding operations. If be has eggs in view he can adopt a system of culling out all of the poorest egg producers from year to year. By so doing he would In a course of years have at hand a flock that would he a paying investment. Yet there are farms on which the hens have not improved for half a century, principally because there has been no care taken at all in the breeding. The eggs for sitting have never been selected, and the result has been a reproduction of the average quality of the flock. Attention to the matter of breeding will pay every person that expects to raise fowls. Root-graftin- crown-graftin- e A Song of Spring. April at the --loom of spring.

Frederic Cranefield, In a paper on the growing of native plums, read before the Wisconsin State Horticultural Society, said; In the propagation of the natives, many difficulties have been encountered. Is but rarely sucon one year cessful; seedlings is better, hut expensive. Topworking on two year seedlings Is all right for the amateur, but impractic-sblwhere a large number of trees Is vanted. The relief probably lies In fall budding on stocks of the current season's growth. The next difficulty encountered, after the trees have been planted a year. Is the matter of pruning. Nearly all of the natives are of straggling habit and strong growers, and if allowed to go unchecked, produce bad forks that commonly break down as the head becomes developed. On the other hand, If we practice repeated cutting back, a compact, dense head Is formed, which necessitates staking the tree in early life and hinders the development of fruit spurs as the tree develops. While I am not prepared to give definite directions for pruning, I am inclined to believe that a compromise Grading Up the Flock. of the two methods would prove best.

It Makes You Look Green. Darken the room. Now pour half a pint of methylated spirit into a pan. place a handful of ordinary table salt in it, and then set fire to it. It will flare up in an instant, and give everyone in the room a weird and hideous appearance. If you want the flame to be green, use nitrate of barium instead of salt. Or if you prefer red use nitrate of strontium in place of salt. Another trick is to take beforehand a little nitrate 'of strontium, dissolve it in a little hot watei ; then take pieces of white tissue paper, dip them into the solution, and the a hang them up to dry. Then, when you are ready, touch a match to these pieces of paper, and they will burn with a brilliant red flash.

It is said that several specimens are to be seen in the Roman garden owned by a North Philadelphia family. These dwarf trees are perfect in every respect, with gnarled trunks and twisted branches but are only a foot or two in height. In Japan dwarf parks are laid out filled with these tiny trees, and little bits of streams of water and bridges and walks are put in here and there. Instead of grass a cunning tiny green moss is used. And in the tiny (two or three inch) flower beds the most wonderful little Alpine flowers are to be found. The whole park, trees, flower beds, streams, bridges and all, would stand easily on an ordinary dining tablg. No other people in the world know how to dwarf trees.
