An object Lesson.

On the editors desk in this Office is
a bouquet as suggestive as IL is frag-
rant-apple blossoms ana the snowy
flowers of the plum. Close beside are
apples, sound, smooth and rudy as
ever grew upon a Ben Davis tree, bet
ter in flavor Though we count it our
poorest variety of apples, better in
flavor than any California grown APP
pie that finds its way to our market.
They look and taste as though they
might keep we'll for weeks beyond
this thirteenth of May, and prove the
staying qualities of Colorado apples
These grow in the orchard Of Mr..
d. M. Rose, of Colorado Springs, a
spot to which we should like TO take
the readers of the Farmer. Not that
it is so much unlike other places in
that region or in other parts of Colora-
do, but because it is so like what many
others may be.
He is no friend to Colorado who
insists that we can never grow our
own fruit. The pioneering mas been
done. We know, up to certain limits,
what will and what will not do well
in Colorado. The precaution taken
by Mr.. Rose, in common with other
fruit growers here, is that of keeping
the trees back as far as possible in the
spring. To this end, he puts manure
about the roots in winter to retain the
frost as long rs possible, as well as to
enrich the soil He says the only
thing currants need is manure and
water, and he will warrant them all to
turn out prolific He has entire
success with Bartlett pears; (think of
that, We who long for that perfection
of havorD and his Flemish Beauties
have born for five consecutive years.
The pears are both dwarf and stand
ard, and he appears equally satisfied
with them. He agrees with Max
Clark that it is a great deal of bother
to load and unload earth to keep the
raspberry vines comfortable through
the winter, but we notice he does it,
Perhaps, too, the peaches his trees
bore last year needed coaxing. Guilt
waited native plums, from some favor
ed grove in the hills, attain remark
able size, color and flavor.

THE FARM.

A mammoth shearing establish
ment, consistingof corrals, pens and
sheds for handling and shearing an
immense number of sheep, with all
necessary appliances, has been con
structed at Hugo, Kan, by the Union
Pacific railroad. A large warehouse
is also being built for storing wool.
1t is cheaper for flock-owner to take
his wool to market on the sheep's
back than in wagons, if he does not
have to go more than 100 miles. There
are 200, 600 sheep within easy reach of
Hugo.
Another remedy for the cabbage
worm trouble is recommended. 1t IS
simply a tea made from tansy IAN
herb that grows around most farmers
premises and applied to the cabbage
with a sprinkler or otherwise, when
the dew is on in the morning. If put
on when cabbage is dry will not adj
here to the leaves, and therefore does
no good. A correspondent says this
will effectually destroy the worms.
In few hours after the first applica-
ton not a worm was to be seen. lie
repeated the desc once only that
year, but one application was all re-
quired.
Four remarkable fleeces of wool
have been shorn from sheep owned
by John Ferguson, living in Madison
township, Daviess county, Ind, near
the Greene county line. Two ewes
produced fleeces weighing respectively
154 and 161 pounds; the other taken
from backs, weighed 1913 and 20l
pounds. These sheep are from bucks
in northern Ohio, costing $50. Farm
ers should gradually wor off seal
stock and raise sheep of the better
grades. A good sheep shearing from
10 to 25 pounds can be kept as cheap
ly as one producing half that amount

Girls in Business.

We commend to all girls who wish
or expect to engage in any self-sup-
porting occupation, especially where
they may come into competition with
men, the following extract from
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps's article, en-
titled Supporting Herself, in the
May st. Nicholas:
''But, girls, if you cont mean to
make a thorough business of the oc-
cupation you have chosen, never.
never, 1leUer begin to be occupied at
all. Half finished work will do for
amateurs. 1t will never answer for
professionals. The bracket you are
sewing for New Years present can
hang a little crooked on its screws.
and you will be forgiven for the loves

TO which you offer it; bat the trinket
carved for sale in the Sorrento rooms
must be cut as true as a rose-leaf. You
can be a little shaky as to your Ger
man declensions in the Schiller club,
which you join 50 enthusiastically
after leaving school, and no great
harm ever come of it; but teach Schil-
Ter for living, and for every dative
case forgotten you are so much money

People who pay for a thing de

To offer incomplete work for complete
market price, is to be either cheat or
beggar. The terrible grinding laws
of supply and demand, pay and re
ceive, give and get, give no quarter
to shilly-shally labor The excellence
of your intentions is nothing to the
point The stress of your poverty has
not the slightest connection with the

for your poem because yeu wish to
help your mother. No customer will
buy her best bonnet or her wheat flour
of you because you are unable to pay
your rent. When you have catered

An Angels Touch.

Rough natures and careless lives
often show surprises of redeeming
kindness. An instance Of this vic
tory of the better feelings, ia the
presence of innocent want, is related
in the San Francisco Nelcs Letter.
A little girl of nine or ten years old
entered a place which is a bakery,
grocery and saloon combined, and
asked for five cents worth of tea.
How's your mother2" asked the
boy, who cameforward to wait on her.
"She's sick, and amt had anything
to eat to-day"
The boy was then called to wait
upon some men who entered the sa-
loon, and the girl sat down. In
few minutes she was sound asleep,
and leaning her head against bar
rel, while she held the nickel in a
tight grip between thumb and finger.
One of the men saw her as he came
from the bar, and after asking who
she was. said
Say, you 9runkards, see herel
Here we've been pouring down
whiskey when tins child and her
mother want bread. Here's a two
dollar bill that says I've got some
feeling left.
" And can add dollar" observed
one.

They made up collection amount
ing to five dollars, and the spokes-
man carefully put the bill between
two Of the sleeper's fingers, drew the
nickel away and whispered to his
comrades:
Jist look there - the gals dream
MI"
So she was. A tear had rolled
from her closed eyelid, but on the
face was a smile. The men went
ont, and the clerk walked over and
touched the sleeping child She
awoke with laugh, and cried out;
What a beautiful dream Ma
wasn't sick any more, and we had
lots TO cat and to wear, and my hand
burns yet where an angel touched i'll
When she discovered that her
nickel had been replaced by a bill, a
dollar of which loaded her down with
all she could carry, she innocently
said

COLLISION on TEs.. g.kEsE.

The steamer Alberta and the steam
barge J. n. Osborne, collidcd in lake
Superior, five miles off Whitetish
Point, during the dense fog which pre-
vailed last Sunday. The Osborne was
almost cut in two and sunk in very
few moments Eight Of her crew were
lost. The most heroic and selfsacri-
ficing work done that day was done by
the stewart of the Alberta, who in
some way reached the Osborne and
took off Il lady passenger and three
children of the captains and put them
safely on board the Alberta, and then
returned to try and save more. He
discovered the second engineer of the
Osbore sinking for the last time, and
jumped after him, but when he brought
him up he found that the poor fellow
was so badly scalded that he could
lend no assistance. He bravely held
him up, however, and tried to reach
the boat he had just left, but the cold
water and his previous exertions had
told on his strength, and before he
could reach the boat he sank out of
sight, still clinging to the man whose
life he tried to save by sacrificing his
own. \ hero indeed.
