And what is there in nature more beautiful than (lowers â€"- always excepting, of course, the ladies!" and the Star Board- er made a gallant bow to Mrs. l’roone, who graciously beat her stately neck in acknowledgment. “What a wonderful command of lang- uage you have, Air. Spattsk she said. “Thank you for that, Mrs. i’ronns. Coming from you, I heartily appreciate it, for I know you would not say it no less :ou really thought it. How excellent it is to have a friend whose words are always candid." “Yes, you really have a wonderful commanl of language, Mr. Spatts.” “And yet how inadequate it is to ex- press the thoughts which rise so tumul- tuouva in my mind. My dear Mrs. Proons. language often falls me when I wish to give utterance to my noblest thoughts. Can you believe thntl’l' "What a pity. isn't it?" "Undoubtedlyâ€"hut I have wandered from my subject.

You know, those Germans .lmnw everything. They are so painstak- ing in their researches." “ch kind of you,” said Mrs. Proons, as Mr. S] art: draw forth from his inside pocket a collection of envelopes with frayed edges and looked through them for the clipping “Ah. here it is," he said, and then he began to read: “To make house plum-s thrive," says Prof. Buosof, "saturate the earth around them every day with the coffee left over from breakfast. Now, that is very simple, but I havevno doubt the results are very encouraging." "I shall certainly try it, Mr. Spatts, and I am very grateful to you for your thoughtfulness in bringing me the para- graph.” “Do not mention it, I beg of you." added Mr. Spatts as he rose from the table. “I assure you it gives me pleasure to be of any service to you, Mrs. Proons." “I say, Spatts," said Huuker, as the two passed out; of the boarding-house into the street, “what makes you so dreadfully anxious for Mrs. Proone’s iiowrrs to thrive?" “i am a great lover of the beautiful flowers, dear boy,” replied Spatts, "and then, too, I am fond of coffee made fresh .overy morning for breakfast."

The latest application. in the domain of agriculture, of the great prin- ciple of inoculation, is in many respects of a more Striking nature than anything yet accomplished by this line of research, and consists of the inoculation of the soil with pure cultures of bacteria for the purpose of promoting plant growth. Inoculation ofa soil with these cul- tures,on a practical scale, may be efi‘ected in either of two ways. First, the seed of the crop it is desired to inoculate may be inoculated before it is sown. This is efl'ected by making a watery solution of the pure cultivation. immersing the seed in it, and subsequently drying it; or. secondly. it may be eii’ected by inoculaâ€" ting a quantity of fine sand or earth in the same way, and then spreading it over the field and subsequently working it into the soil to a depth of about three inches. Naturally,a point of considerable interest is the economic question of the cost of such treatment. It is interesting to learn that this is extremely moderate, as the expense of inoculating a field in this way amounts to the very moderate sum of five shillings per acre. This can- not he regarded as expensive, and con- trasts favorably with the expense of nitro- genous fertilizers. j APPLE BARREL. PRESS. Home-Made Contrivance That Answers the Ordinary Purposes. The press commonly used for bending barrels of apples in large orchards is too complicated for home manufacture and more expensive perhaps than many care to purchase where the output of the orchard is but a limited ‘ number of barrels. We find in American Gardening asketoh of a home-made press which APPLE BARREL PRESS. hardly needs to be described. An iron rod is bent to the curve of the barrel and its lower end turned over a book under the lower edge of the barrel. The lever at the top and a block of wood, to be used first flatwise and than edgewise, complete the outfit. The lover can be raised or lowered by the nut on the end of the iron rod. Poultry Gleuninzs. No “condition powders,” no medicine, no patent “egg food," no "nothing" but the same common sense applied to the hen as to the cow. Steady growth is best secured by regâ€" ular feeding. A feast to-day and a fam- ine to-morrow is not good for man or fowl.

A Peking duck lays from 1:30 to 150 eggs in ayear, and it is not hard to make a pair of young l’eklngs weigh 10 pounds when 10 weeks old. They are aprofltable fowl. Store Crops in Good Condition. The loss of fruits and vegetables in storage is of not infrequent occurrence. To lose one's supply of potatoes or apples is a serious matter. Sometimes the loss is due to storing in bad condition. Pota- toes and apples. in fact every fruit or vegetable. should not be stored away while damp. Dampness fnvorarot. Fruits and vegetables are best stored in some dry, airy outbuilding until thelmmlnent approach of freezing weather makes it necessary to put them in the cellar. The building should have rather open sides, ‘ and there should he a free circulation of air under and n' and it. Send corn should not he put away until it is tlior oughly iii-led.
