More than eight years ago the city
authorities Of Lord,n offered a przs foi
any invention whion would enable them
10 get rid OF snow in the Streets. Seven
teen schemes were submitted. The
successful apparatus was at once ert cted
and mas been in operation every year
since. 1t consists simply of al inclined
plate Of iron, tiSed below g manhols l,od-
ing to the main sever. Under this plate
are ranged gas burners. The snow carted
from the adjoining thorouRhfares is
shoveled down the menhoe grating, falls
on the heated plate, ia reduced to water,
and passes aany down the sewer. The
consumption OF gas is very moderate, and
the cost il said to lie much less ttar that
Incurred by eartinR away the SNOW on the
old system. The apparatus, says The
Engineer, has proved extremely successful,
and she invention deserves TO be widely
adopted.

Horace Everett, the well-known citizen
of Council Bluffs, has been planting The
walnut at various times on his farm rear
that place. Mention has been made of
the fact in this paper repeatedly Mr.
Everett gives farmers encouragement by
stating that 30 years ago he planted %
acres of land with black walnu,s. The
trees are from 16 to 20 inches through aud
have been sold for 1927, 900. What is true
of this particular timber is true of other
hard woods. Properly planted and pro-
tected against the single danger of FIRE,
any one of these varieties of trees planted
In sufficient quantity by our yonng farmers
will bring them more money at middle age
than will provide for all their wants. The
catalpa will do this as certainly as the wal
nut and ash, and other kinds of timber.

Taking up Plants,

Those who have plants in the ground which
they intend for blooming in the window, make n
mistake If they delay taking them up until frost
is threatened. L. the plants have been left in
the pots which have been plunged in the open
ground, the change is not SO sudden but if the
plants have been turned 9ut of the pots, and
their roots have been allowed free growth, it is
another matter. With many plants turned ont,
the better plan is to raise new ones from cuttings
for next winters blooming and let the old ones
go. But it is often desirable TO take up and pot
an old plant. In such cases do not wait until
there is danger of frost, and then hurridly dig
up the plant aud crowd its roots into pot. Sup
pose the plant to he taken up is a gcranum be-
gin at least a month before the time of removal
TO prepare it for the change. 1t will have made
enormous top, which must be cut back, and
the, plant brought into neat, compact shape.
The change from the open ground to the pot
should take place before cool nights have check
ed the growth. Amateur gardeners as a gener=
al thing, are afraid to use the knife. II in tax,
ing up all the plants that are to be kept in the
window during the winter, they wonld cut the
tops back to correspond to the disturbance of
the roots, they would have much hetter success.
Very old specimens of such quick-grOwing plants
as geraniums rarely satisfactory when lif-
ted from the open ground, that even at this late
day We should prefer TO start young plants from
cuttings. On the other hand, hard-wooded
plants, such roses with strong plants, are pre-
ferable, and these should he taken up in this
month and be well established in pots The
plant should be pruned before it is lifted, and
then given n fair sized pot with rich soil. Give
water, and place it in the shade for few days,
and it will recover from the change, and be in
good condition for the window.
No plants are more satisfactory for window
culture than the Dutch bulbs, as they are called,
especially Hyacinths and Narcissus. They are
not always to be had As early rs this month, but
soon the dealers offer them, they should be
procured and potted, in rich soil, and tile pots
kept iii n cool dark place.-1meTiodn fgricaifHrisf

AUTUMN,

III, the golden CLEAN of an Autumn day,
With the soft rain raining as IL in play,
And tender touch upon everything.
As il Autumn rcnlcmbcred the days Of Spring.
In the listening woods there Il not breath
To shake their gold To the sward beneath;
And glow of sunshine upon them lies,
Though the sun is hid in the Swallowed skies
The cocks clear crow from the farm-yari comes
The niufii-sl bell fron the belfry boons
And faint and dini and fun far away,
Come the voices Of children in happy play.
Der the mountains the white mist draws its vel
And the black rocks cawing. acruss them sail,
Der the still, gray rivers iretted brim-
No snIrOw upaa the landscape weighs
No grief for the vanished Summer days,
But a sense OF peaceful and calm repose
Like that which age in its Autumn knows.
The Spring time longings ART past aud gone,
The passions of Summer no Hunger art known
The harvest il gathered. and Autumn stands
Serenrly thcushifnl with folded hands.
Over all Il thrown n memorial hne,
A glory IDEAL the real ne'cr knew:
For memory sits frum the past its pain,
And suffers its beauty alone ~ remain.
With half smile and with half sigh
II pondcrs the past that has hurried by;
S-,es il, and feels il, and loves it all,
Regrets it has vanished beyond recall.
o, glorious Autumn thus serene,
Thus living and loving all that has been,
Thus calm and ooatented let me be,
When the Autumn Of age shall come To me.

A Remarkable Dream.

Everybody in Allegheny County knows old
lawyer Martin. He had the coolest way in the
world of transferring money from the pockets of
his clients to his own. Old Ben Brooks, a rich,
but ciose-fisted farmer in the neighborhOod, was
one of his clients and in their conferences there
was always pretty sharp contest who should
outwit the other, the lawyer in the end general
ly getting the upper hand. One day they had
been sitting for an hour two, trying their
wits to get the advantage of each other, when
the farmer got excited, and suddenly turning TO
the lawyer, said
''MartiD, ! had a remarkable dream last
night"
"Ahi had your said Martin, "what was il y
at was q terrible one" said Brooks, looking
very solemn-"an awful one. haven't fairly
got over the effects Of it yet. can't keep IL out
OF my mind for a minute"
DWELL, tell it," said Martin, evidently struck
with the farmers manner.

hell, and the devil sat in his big chair pointing

the door opened, and looking around, / saw you
enter. The devil told one to take this seat, and
another that but when he saw you come in, he
rose up, and pointing to his own chair, he said :
"Here, Lawyer Martin, you can take my seat;
