How Old . are You? eK ) ‘You need not answer the question, madam, for in your case age is not counted by years. It will always be true that ‘‘a woman is as old as she looks.” Nothing sets the seal of age so deeply upon woman's beauty as gray hair. It is natural, therefore, that every woman is anxious to preserve her hair in all its original abundance and beauty; or, that being denied the crowning gift of beautiful hair, she longs to possess it. Nothing is easier than to attain to this gift or to preserve it, if already possessed. Ayer’s Hair Vigor restores gray or faded hair to its original color. It does this by simply aiding nature, by supplying the nutrition necessary to health and growth. There is ro better preparation for the hair than Her Turn Now. j “I hope Pickler and his wife won't | During a lecturer's speech on “Mar- visit us again very soon.

Some Up-to-Date Hints About Cultiva- tion of the Soil and Yields Thereof— Horticultdre, Viticulture and Flori- ’ culture. VERY one knows that plants require for their life-pro- cesses a consider- able amount of wa- ter; that they suf- fer and die when + it is not present in sufficient quantity. It seems to be ser- viezable to the plant as food, and it certainly is required for the so- lution of other food substances, as well as for maintaining the proper physical condition of the tissues. But there are few per- scns _who have any adequate idea of the vast amount of water which is absorbed by plants from the soil. Even those whose business is to teach what is called “Botany” in the schools rare- ly know what plants do in this re- spect; and the same may be said of those whose business is to grow plants, to cultivate them, to manage soil and surroundings so as to obtain the best results for the labor bestowed. The facts are remarkable, and may well astonish all who become acquainted with them. Believing that such ac- quaintance may be valuable to some who may here gain an introduction, the writer takes pleasure in perform- ing the ceremony. In the first place, it may be stated that leaves in the ordi- nary health state absorb little or no water from the air. There has been much difference of opinion upon this point, and even scientists have not agreed upon it. Gardeners sprinkle the leafy portions of plants with water, and say that the revival which takes place in wilting leaves proves at once that the water is absorbed. Not unfrequently the statement is made that field plants (such as maize) revive at night by absorbing through the leaves and stems the dew which is de- posited upon them. Certainly wilted plants do recover their fresh and healthful appearance when copiously showered with water, though not 4 drop reaches the roots. Certainly a field of corn in a dry time presents a conspicuous enough difference of ap- pearance in the middle of a hot after- noon and the early morning after a dewey night. But do these things and others like them show that leaves ab- sorb water? A little attention will show that they do not. If the florist will take a plant whose leaves have begun to droop on account of the want of water, and will place it under a glass vessel, he may soon see that, without the addition of water at all, the leaves become plump and assume thejr proper positions, as when copi- ously sprinkled. What can be the meaning of this? After a little time water may be observed condensing upon the inner surfaces of the glass, in dew-like drops. The air within the vessel becomes saturated with .mois- ture from some source, while the drooping leaves are regaining their turgidity. The fact is, that even from these wilted leaves, while in the open air, large quantities of water are es- caping. If by any means this amount is checked, the continuous supply from the roots soon fills the leaf-cells and restores their healthful condition. When the plant is showered with water, this is exactly what takes place. It is true, experiments have proved that Jeaves may and do absorb water abundantly, when they are immersed in the fluid, and it is also probably true that some water may be absorbed by wilted leaves from drops adhering to their surfaces; but so far as concerns the great and useful supply of water to healthy vegetation, we may unhes- itatingly conclude that leaves have nothing to do with its absorption. None of it ccmes directly from the air. Atmospheric dew does not gain en- trance to the tissues. The soil fur- nishes the water, and the roots take it up.. There is no other source nor other organs for the work. If the roots send up as much or more than the leaves transpire, the latter con- tinue turgid; if not, they wilt.—T. J. Burrill. Peach Yellows. Below is given the ideas on peach yellows in Farmers’ Bulletin No. 17, by Prof. Erwin F. Smith, the gov- ernment specialist and perhaps the best authority on peach yellows in the country: There has been much speculation respecting the nature of this disease, inasmuch as climate and scil do not seem able to originate a plainly communicable malady, and no fungus, bacteria or animal parasite has been identified as the cause. At present peach yellows seems nearest allied to that phenomenon in plants known as variegation. It is now rec- ognized that variegation in many plants is a disease manifesting itself in stunted growth, imperfect assimi- lation, hastened development and fee- ble vitality. Moreover, in a number of plants, e g. jasmines and abutilons, this condition is transmissible to healthy stocks by budding or grafting in the same way as peach yellows. The contagiousness of the disease can- not be proved until the juices of a diseased tree be introduced into a healthy tree or a specific germ is dis- covered and separated into pure cul- tures and then introduced into a healthy stock, thus producing the dis- ease, as is done with tuberculosis in animals or the fire blight in the pear. That the disease or condition at first appears on one or two trees only and that other trees are affected later, is no prooz of its contagion, for all the trees will die sooner or later, general- ly within 15 years, unless very care- fully crown, and many of them of what appears to be the yellows. I contend that. the digging out of trees weakened from any cause whatever, must result in the improved condition of orchards anywhere; that the trees remaining will naturally receive more care and attention and consequently will im- prove more rapidly than if the same amount of care were extended over a larger number of trees, but that this -is no proof that contagion existed and } has been prevented by this treatment. The improverrent in the orchards of Michigan since the peach yellows law was enacted has come, I believe, more from the increased intelligence aud skill of the growers than from the in- fluence of the law. The orchardists in that section grow their trees more carefully and skillfully than formerly, they use chemicals instead of stable manure, plant only on soil well adapt- ed to the growth of the peach, and fully understand that it does not pay to grow peaches on weakened trees any more than it does other fruit, un- der the same conditions, and especial- ly so when young and vigorous trees can be grown up to fruiting size in three or four years. These causes alone are sufficient to account for all the improvement reported which could have been brought about by the grow- ers themselves and nearly all of the expense attending the execution of the provision of the law saved. Some credit may be given the law for this improvement, but a great principle is involved that should not be violated and many believe such laws unconsti- tutional because no wrong has been proved. Renewal of Small Fruit Plats. Will it pay to continue strawberry beds more than one year? That de- pends much on the condition of the bed at the close of the fruiting season. If the ground is rich, the rows well filled out, the crop light, and nearly free from grass and weeds, it will then usu- ally pay to continue one, two or more years. If, however, plants are ex- hausted by a large yield, and grass and weeds have been allowed to grow, it will be more work to place old beds in condition than to prepare new ones. If to be discontinued, plow at once and sow some late crop for feed or fertil- ity. To renew old beds, mow off plants. As soon as dry burn over, reduce rows to six or eight inches in width with spade or cultivator. Remove all weeds, every particle of grass, apply a libera] dressing of fine manure, cultivate and keep clean same as with new beds. Right here is one of the great bene- fits of keeping new beds perfectly clean. It saves a large amount of labor when beds are continued more than one year. Old beds produce berries a little earlier, and second year is often better than the first, when treated in this manner. The bearing canes of raspberries and blackberries should be removed im- mediately after fruiting. Cut out all small weak ca:.es, leaving only five or six in the hil. The removal of old canes leaves no hiding place for worm or bug, or eggs for same. It also al- lows the free circulation of air and the sun penetrates the center of the bush, making canes strong and vigor- ous with a good development of fruit buds for the following season. The removal and burning of all dead, weak and surplus growth is the best pre- ventive against disease. In berry growing, remember that good work for two seasons is necessary. First, the most important, to grow, develop and mature strong, healthy canes, vines and buds for next season’s fruit. Sec- ond, to mature the fruit, which de- pends very much on the care and growth of the previous year. Favorable seasons for fruit are of little avail if the preparatory work has been neg- lected.—M. A. Thayer. Soil Mulches. Soil mulches are very useful in the conservation of moisture. They also effect its location, tending to dry out the lower layers and keeping the sur- face soil more moist. As has been sug- gested, mulches retain the moisture. Forests, by their mulches of leaves, prevent floods. Dry earth is the most practical mulch that farmers can use. Experiments prove that shallow and not too frequent cultivation prevents loss of much more moisture than no cultivation, and also more than daily cultivation. Growing crops prevent much evaporation by shading the ground and lessening the effect of the wind. Frozen ground is a good mulch for the time being, but it leaves the moisture so near the surface that on thawing, it soon evaporates and is lost. Educated Farmers.—If a person will take the trouble to investigate the mat- ter he will find that the prosperous and successful farmer is the educated farmer. About a century ago the most of the people thought that a grubbing hoe and jumping shovel plow were about all the tools necessary for the farmer to possess. And if he was the owner of a wagon and a yoke of cattle, with which to haul his produce to mar- Ket, that he was ‘right in the proces- sion.’ Such farmers with their old time ideas and ways are fast falling to the rear of the procession when they come in competition with the edu- cated farmer. The old-time farmer will reason thus in regard to his boys: Now William don’t seem to take an interest in the farm, so I guess I’d better send him to school, give him a good education and make a lawyer or doctor out of him, while John sticks to the farm like a bee to a sweet clover blossom, so it will not be worth while to waste any money sending him to school, as he will be a farmer just like his dad.—Ex.
