THE FARMINGWORLD, RENEWAL OF ROOTS, * A Tree’s CepatUy to. Develop Feeding Boots Veer th e Trunk. A dozen o r more years ago 1 dug a postrhole near a large -apple tree, sever* lug one of the smaller roots less than thirty inehes from the stomp. I t re­ cently became necessary to grub the tree, and I was enabled, to see the re- ynilts of this accidental amputation. The illustration shows the present appearance of the root. As i t stands on a chair before me it does not take much imagination to believe It to be the com­ pact, well-furnished root of a four- year-old apple tree, a is a portion of the root which was severed a t h in dig­ ging the post-hole. At this point the root was about ori# and one-half inches in diameter a t th a t time and appears to have grown bu t little since, a callus having formed a t e, three inches from the end, and a mass of roots starting from th a t point which have developed, as illustrated, save manyof the smaller, which have been left out to prevent crowding the drawing. The ground was very rich, being near the barn. . The matter is interesting, aa showing the capacity of a tree to d /elop feed­ ing roots near the trunk and showing how by cutting short trenches, and filling w ith rich soil an old tiee might be fed with a spoon, as i t were.—L. B. Pierce, in Country Gentleman/ AGRICULTURAL NOTES. IP yon can increase the wood pile these fine days, i t will increase the fine fire on cold ones. ,, I t would be well if we had more holi­ days on the farm. Ju s t aa much, work would be done a t the end of the year. ' Aholiday well spent gives vigor and en­ thusiasm.

FEEDING FOR GROWTH. I t Omits H ut Kilttls K a r t to K N f » Good Colt Than * Poor On*. The supply of Teally good hofsea It not equal to the demand, while the re­ verse is the case with sorubs. Good brood mares th a t will be able to do n sufficient amount of work to pay for the keep will answer every purpose on the farm fully as well aa geldings, and if thpy **e properly bred will bring a colt that will pay a good profit for breeding. Every farmer or breeder who has kept an aodount knows tha t it coats but little more to keep a good colt and to keep It well than it doea a poor one that a t beat will make unsatisfactory growth. One of the principal items 1 q ,raising a .good colt oheaply Is a goo* pasture. On* seeded to blue grass is the best because it is fullyaanutritious and less bulky, All through the growing season grass can be made the principal ration, and one advantage with blue' gross is that i t starts to grow very early in the spring, and in any thing like a fair season will continue to grow until oold weather in the f a it I t will stand -tramping batter than any other variety and will make a smoother growth on a colt than more bulky grass. During the wlnter.olean hay or fodder should make a rough feed while oats is the best grain ration. A quart of oats fed dally during the summer and two or three quarts during the winter with plenty of hay or grass will secure a better development of bone and muscle and a smoother, hardier animal than almost any other ration. Good shelter is necessary during the winter so as to keep comfortable. The advan­ tage with a good shelter la that it less­ ens very materially the amountof grain, Colts need not be pushed, but i t is neo- essary to maintain a steady growth from birth to maturity, seeking a t the same time to have it uniform and secure a good development. Give an oppor­ tunity for exercise. This is of more importance with growing colts than with any other class of stook, and dur­ ing the winter they should be turned out every day that the weather will per­ m it—-American Breeder. DANGERS OF APICULTURE. Beaaona Why tin Usually H irm lM Bee la SomatiaiM Mftjudgad. President K. L. Taylor, of Lapeer, Mich., in his ennnal address before the veoent annual meeting of the Interna­ tional American Bee Association, said: Almost every ooonpatton has its attend­ ant dangers, and apiculture la not ex­ empt In this, as in the use1'of machin­ ery, horses, etc,, accidents may genet- erally by the exercise of care be pre­ vented, I t stands us in hand to be more than, usually careful in the ease of bees The public, being unacquainted with the causes of irritation on their p a rt con­ sider their attacks purely vicious, with­ out reason and unavoidable, and are apt in case of aooident to pronounce them a dangerous nuisance, wben/in fact the persqn injured, or. some ono else, he* Ignorantly been $be direct cense of the attack. I am led to apeak of this by an aooident whloh happened* in my own country, A heavy highway sorapsr drawn by a font-horse 'team was work­ ing upon the road where, five or s ir rods away, were a few colonies of bee* The bees attacked, the hones and driver in swarms, and three horses were killed on the spot *To tho un­ skilled there was no reason for the in­ nate vloiousness of the bees, while to the experienced, the thundering, esrth- Jarring crashing of the heavy machine on the atones' In the. baked earth was abundant cause. £The lesson Is, that it for no other reason than to prevent their bees from falling into disrepute, bee keepera should use thoughtful care in the location and management of their apiaries.

French nobility since Edmund Burke penned his splendid eulogy. According to M Lescure, a grandson of that same Marquis d’Hauteroche who chivalrously requested the English troops a t the bat­ tle of Fontenoy to M0ro first,” ended his days as a common policeman. Sadder still, from the point of view of the amateurs of ’‘blue blood,” one of the no­ ble family of Babou da la Bourdulere is now a washerwoman. Representatives of other noble families equally famous in their time are, or were, according to the name authority, occupying the hum­ ble positions of gamekeeper, carpenter's apprentice, bouse painter, cab driver, miller’s assistant, innkeeper, conductor of an omnibus, box opener at a theater, gas man, bathing man, maker of mouse traps.
