A Tew Shop In China.
The tea shop is an important insti-
tution in China. It serves as a news
depot, where the people gather to hear
the news of the day; as a business
house, where men buy and sell and dis-
cuss the commercial interests of the
country, and as a place of pleasure and
general resort. If two men get into a
quarrel on the street, one is apt to drag
the other to a tea house and drink tea
at his expense while they settle the
matter between them. The stronger
does the dragging and the weaker the
treating.
The shop is a large open room In a
central and popular portion of the city,
and small, square tables and low, nar-
row benches constitute the furniture.
a covered cup containing a pinch of
tea leaves is placed before each tea
drinker and it is filled and refilled with
hot water as desired. a man may
drink this sugarless liquid all the aft-
ernoon with his companion and on
settling the bill he will find that he is
only about 2 cents poorer. i asked
my Shanghai friend as we stood In
one of these shops and listened to the
discordant screams of the patrons of
the institution what was the eause of
this utter confusion. "Each man wants
more hot water," was his reply, as he
pitied my ignorance of the ways of
polite society in these parts. Shanghai

In the furrow and set over your plow
to the left of the furrow. Catching
your eyes In a spot 011 the corner, and
holding it over the furrows, the horse
walks In them back on the other side.
When you get the land as wide as eon-
venient, take another dead furrow, and
i hen the center between until you get
It all done. If you will look ahead of
you, you can make straight rows. If
you have coarse manure, it will bother
you some, but when you get done It will
repay you. Then take the smoothing
harrow and run over the rows length-
wise. Let the driver walk in tin- fur-
row. Go over if three or four times,
and all of the lumps are in the ditch,
the ridges will be a nice oval, and the
fine soil on top will be firmed. Sow
your seeds in the center of the ridge.
As soon as you get it ready, follow up
the drag with your drill, so as not
to let the ground dry before your seed-
ilrill rollers firm It over. Put In plenty
of seed. y ju can cut them out, but
•an't always transplant them. i sow
beets, mangolds and carrots as soon as
the ground Is fit. Ruta bagas on the 20th
of June. The seeds on the ridge will
start before the ditches. When the
weeds start, i take a one-horse plow,
put on a rolling coulter, and a slow j
horse, fix on the clevis so as to hitch j
low, and go on each side of the row, j
taking off one inch, except next to the
roots. There i take off three-quarters ,
of an Inch, and throw it into the
ditch. You can't do fine work with
used care should be taken that they
are properly prepared, aa much loss has
been caused by the application of wash-
that were highly commended, but
proved so strong as to destroy the trees.
Too great care cannot be given to
searching for and destroying trees af-
fected with the yellows Trees with a
single branch showing the disease are
often kept until the fruit Is gathered,
but this is unsafe, as it may spread the
disease to the surrounding trees. If
removed as soon as any indication of
the disease can be seen in the fruit It
Is likely that no harm will follow to the
surrounding trees. It Is possible that If
properly employed Bordeaux mixture
may prevent the spread of this dread
disease, as many peach growers wlw>
have sprayed their trees to prevent curl
leaf and rot report that they have not
had yellows, while there has been a
considerable loss where trees hnve not
been sprayed.

cessful fruit-grower of today must, In
addition to a practical knowledge of
the business, havo a knowledge of the
sciences that relate to the soil and
plants. He must, above all, be a good
salesman. All Is profit above the fixed
charges, and as these are largely the
cost of production, much can be often
added to the profit If they can be
cheapened. Yet costly methods arc
often most profitable, as trees are ma-
chines, and require a certain power
when not doing work, and If. by giving
a little better care a considerable In-
crease In production Is secured, the dif-
ference will be profit.

(From Farmers' Review Special Re-
port.)
On Wednesday morning Mr. Morrill
continued Ills talk upon peach growing,
discussing the "Cultivation and Care of
tho Orchard." He advocated giving up
the land to the trees after the first
year, but favored using the land for
| one year for some cultivated crop that
would draw upon the land after the
first of August, as It would aid In ripen-
ing the trees. The orchard should be
i plowed In the spring as shallow as pos-
i slble, and should receive a frequent
dragging up to the middle of August.
1 By the use of a smoothing harrow or
weeder, fifteen or twenty acres can be
gone over in a day, and the dust mulch
thus formed will do much to bold the
moisture through a season of drouth.
i The first spring he recommended that
the strong shoots be headed back, so
i as to give the weaker ones a chanco
to develop, all surplus branches being
removed. After the first year cut back
the new growth from one-half to two-
thirds, beginning at the top and trirn-
eak and dead shoots
kinds of fowls 1 have mentioned above
1 like tho Plymouth Rocks very much.
Their eggs hatch well, and the little
chicks try to take care of themselves
early. They mature early, and when
young are very deceiving in their
weight. The hens are good layers if
they have any care at all. 1 kept sixty
hens last year, and during that time i
sold of chickens and eggs $140-worth,
and had some die. My greatest trouble
has been the little mites, and i have
never found anything that would rid
tho roosts of them entirely. The only
method that, seems to have any effect
Is to keep the hen-house as clean as
possible, and when the hen has set
about ten clays take out the nest and
clean It and replace it. Then, on wash
days we throw all tho suds Into the
hen-house and onto the roosts. i use
lime in the same way. For chicken
cholera 1 use condensed lye, putting a
llttlo In the food. i use about two
tablespoonfuls to three gallons of feed,
using enough water to swell tho feed
well. Wheat, oats and corn will do
to be fed in this manner. We find this
also a good thing to keep off hog
cholera. In the years 1894 and 1895 we
had hog cholera all around ua, but by
giving them feed Impregnated with lye
and changing the hops from one field
to another about once in two weeks, i dally life,
we kept them from getting the cholera. J
In feeding this to chickens, of course
it will not do to feed it often, and it
should not be placed where they can
get It at will. Once a month or once
in six weeks Is often enough Mrs. j.

She who owns a bed of lavender may
make it a very pretty and poetical
source of pocket money, as well as an
artistic delight. From its fragrant
blue depths she can gather many a sil-
ver dollar in the course of a summer, as
its treasures find a ready sale among
women who love dainty things. In
Southern California good-sized laven-
der beds keep many women supplied
with spending money, for the long,
slender stems In blossom sell readily
for a cent apiece, and those whose
purse of plenty and hours of leisure
admit of luxurious bits of fancy work,
see a poetical fitness In working up the
lovely old-fashioned flower into choice
and dainty articles. For birthday and
holiday gifts, and for church fairs and
bazaars nothing could be sweeter than
pretty things that can be made from
lavender stalks.
a,.i> loving little woman haB re-
ently fashioned some exquisite srtl-
cles of fancy work, which are useful,
too. In a very dainty way, using as her
material long, smooth lavender stalks
In bloom and many yards of lavender-
colored baby-ribbon. With taste and
skill her deft fingers wove In and out,
between tho slender stalks, shining
rows of ribbon, until at last there lay
a shimmering lavender-tinted and lav-
ender-scented fan large and substan-
tial enough for actual use, but so fairy-
like and delicate that one would bo con-
tent to admire Its beauty as a fau
which might be used, but should not.
The fragrant blue blossoms were
first folded down upon their stems, and
baby-ribbon woven very closely and
firmly In between the stems which cov-
ered them, the blossoms being In the
cinter. This makes a firm, smooth
handle, which tapers toward the fan
part. This is broad and fiat like the
old-time palm-leaf fans that went with
our graudmothers to meeting Th*
stems are then expanded and trimmed
with scissors into proper shape to make
a rounding edge. This flat surface,
from about two Inches above the han-
dle, Is closely woven with the baby-
ribbon. and a full cluster is fastened
at the top, as Is also a rosette of loops
at the smallest part of the handle.
Another very popular way of using
lavender Is the making of "lavender
sticks." These are similar to tho
handle of the fan described, and three
or four ore joined together lu a cluster,
by large, full bows of baby-ribbon of
anv delicate color. They are hung
agitinst lace curtains or over chair-
backs, and the pungent, spicy

As a gift for some dear old lady,
whose earliest years are somehow as-
sociated with the sweet, old-fashioned
lavender, nothing can be more dainty
and appropriate than a lavender fan.
Gently swaying the lightsome, airy
thing, tender thoughts of long-past
girlhood will come to her as th«
familiar fragrance floats out upon the
air Memories of that sweet pleasure
of "going to meeting," with a sprig of
lavender laid primly upon the snowy
folded handkerchief, or pressed be-
tween the leaves of the bible, will come
to her with tenderest meaning, and vis-

orchard takes about seventeen and one-

Mineral manures are particularly de-
sirable for peach orchards. Stable
manure Is not desirable for good peach
i land, but may be used to advantage
upon light sands. Wood ashes and
ground bone make a complete fertiliz' r
for the peach. They make the fruit
buds hardier and the peach cling eloser,
so that the loss In high winds is great-
ly lessened. In some soilB there seems
to bo an abundance of potash and wood
ashes are reported as producing no ef-
fect.

a bulletin of the Iowa experiment
station says: Extensive variety tests
of winter wheat have In times past
been conducted at tills station and the
result reported In previous bulletins.
The only variety of winter wheat thus
far found to be adapted to this locality
is the Turkish Red. The yield of this
variety has not been less than twenty-
five bushels per acre on the experiment
station grounds and In 1894 and 189a
the yield reached 48 and 54.7 bushels
respectively The yield of winter wheat
has invariably exceeded that of the
spring wheat grown here and the qual-
ity has been uniformly better.

doing For this reason we wish to en-
courage our readers to send In their
egg records. That indicates that they
have begun to find out Just what they
are doing, and Just what returns they
are getting. We would like monthly
reports from as many of our readers
as keep any records. Give us not only
the reports of what eggs are being ob-

Forests Hold Snow.—The authorities
In Colorado have been examining the
forest regions of the state to determine
to what extent they hold back the
snow from melting in the spring. It is
a new idea to many people, and yet
i' ii ti rely reasonable. It Is found that the
forests retard the melting of the snoWB
and so eause tho waters to flow down
gradually over a much longer period of
time than Is the ease where the trees
are cut away. They thus have a ten-
dency to prevent floods in the spring
and droughts in the summer. It Is very
evident that we will soon have to fol-
low tlie example of France and begin
the reforesting of our mountains.
