He Was Boss Of the School.

A city clergyman in active service
tells a good story of his early expe-
rience as a school-master in the lum-
Der region of Maine. He was a very
powerful man physically, and in his
youthful days worked at cutting and
rafting logs. He had saved enough
from his earnings to pay for years
schooling, and had returned to work,
when he received call to take charge
OF the district school in his native
town. The school had hard reputa-
ton, for on several previous seasons
the big, rough boys had fired OUT
several teachers. He agreed to take
charge and maintain order in spite OF
the unpromising aspect. On the first
morning of his appearance in the
school-house he was prepared for &C.
ton, and he soon had it, for the big
bully of the school stood up in his
seat and exclaiming: "Come, boys,
let's put him out!'' stepped forward,
only to be seized by the master, lifted
bodily from the floor, and thrown
through the window. This feat OF
courage and strength paralyzed the
rest of the crowd, and the master was
''boss" thenceforth. -Bosto,s Budget.

Watch the Young Chickens.

There is always a large loss of young
poultry by various accidents and by
disease. A young chick is a small
thing, but so is an ear of corn, and the
corn crop is made up of single ears.
1t is the little things which count.
Poor Richards adage. ''Take care of
the cents, the dollars will take care of
themselves" is worthy of constant re-
membrance. Farmers incomes are
made up of small things, and even a
chicken is worth caring for. Poultry
can be made the most profitable of
farm products, for it may be reared for
one-fourth of the market value, giving
profit of 800 per cent. upon
its cost. If only 500 yearly is
thus made it is the interest at 5 per.
cent. upon $4,000, which is very re-
spectacle and comfortable sum to have
invested. Few farmers, however, give
any attention to their poultry, while
they will spend time and work upon q
strawberry bed which brings them in
no more than this, and will boast of
the profit of the little patch. More
over, to cherish the poultry and make
it pay and to enlist the girls in the en-
terprise will do them much good, and,
perhaps, give them a welcome and
happy start in an independent life. One.
may learn a great deal just now by
noting how the numerous accidents oc-
cur and taking measures by proper
provision for avoiding these in the
future. r. Times.

Hardy Apples From the South.

Ira Coe, of Adams County, I'LL,
writes to the Prairie Farmer: So much
has been written or said of late about
hardy apples that I feel like adding
my experience. In this locality the
varieties for market for profit are
practically reduced to Ben Davis,
Maiden's Blush, Willow Twig and
Jonathan. The trees of some of the
old kinds are hardy, but the fruit
ripens too early and falls badly-such
are the Baldwin, Red Canada and
Grimes Golden. Our Northern friends
talk Hardy opples all the time, as
though this was the only point to be
considered. Let me say here, think
there is a Northern limit and a South
ern limit to profitable apple growing.
Where the soil and eli mate are suitable
for winter wheat, the apple will thrive;
north or south of this it is doubtful.
The exception to this rule will be
found mostly along the Pacific or At
Jantic coast. I believe, too, that tim
Der land or what was once timber, is
better for the apple than prairie.
We now need some kind to take the
place of our Ben Davis or Willow Twig
for winter apples here. In this new
variety seven points are to be consid-
cred, viz: One, hardness; two, pro-
ductiveness; three, quality; four, good
grower, stocky and thrifty; five, good
keeper; six, the fruit should hold TO
tree well, not liable to fall before or
after maturity; seven, color should be
red. Shall we look to the North for
such an apple? I think not. We are
told that the Ben Davis originated in
Kentucky. This is still the most
profitable apple. Why not then look
in the same direction for another and
better to take it's place? The fact is,
some one in an obscure corner of our
Southern country will sooner or later
find or originate the apple we need for
this section of country. :

HOW TREES GROW.
Tho Function of tho Cambian Layer an
the Result 1t Produces.

Tho Function of the Combfan Layer an
the Result 1t Produces.
! explaining the process of tree
g1vwth it is of the first importance to
keep in view the function Of the Scam
bian layer" This is the soft layer be-
tween the wood and the bark. It is
not, as might be guessed at first sight, a;
mass of pulpy material, but is a tissue
of cells. These cells, which are visible
under the microscope, are, as thus
observed, apparently all alike. Yet
they are divisible into two classes, ac-
cording to the functions which they
have to perform. Those cells lying
nearest the bark contribute q per-
manent accretion to the bark and
thicken it for the better protection of
the tree as it's growth increases. The
cells nearest the wood of the tree con-
tribute in way to the permanent fiber
of the wood, which is distinct in charac-
teristics from the fiber of the bark. /,
This cambian layer is in it's most
juicy and succulent state in the early
part of the growing season, as is well
known even to the school-boy, as far
as the willow tree is concerned. At
this time by slight effort the bark can
be disengaged from the wood, and it
is the time for making willow whistles.
But other tree growths are in like con-
dition at the same period as respects
the cambian layer. As the layer be-
comes more advanced in it's annual
progress it ceases to have this supple
ness, and goes more and more into
fiber either for increasing the thick
ness of the wood or that of the bark.
When the cambian layer wholly
ceases it's functions for the year, the
result is manifest in the ring which
has been formed on the outside of the
wood of the tree. Substantially it is
true that one ring is produced each
year, but now and then occurs year
when the process of formation has been
arrested by canker worms or by ex-'
IRENE drouth, and no ring is formed, or
it is SO blended with the ring of the
preceding or succeeding year as not to
be discernible except under the micro
scope. The variation of the thickness
in the rings is explained by the occur
renee of conditions more or less favor
able to the growth in different years.

EVENING ON THE FARM.

When deepening twilight hides the landscape
And restful sounds proclaim the close OF day,
Home from the field the farmer drives his
and counts his finished laoors by the way.
sehind him, on the meadows cool and deep,
The evening mlsts have gathered, and he
hears
The voices from the pond that pipe to sleep,
And crickets shrilling on the droughty meres.
Afar, the lusty lowing of the kline,
Vexed by the busy herd-dog, nils the Dir,
Yonder they wend. . ruddy, waving line,
Impatient OF their shaggy drivers care.
Forth from the dairy now, with pals in hand
And lightsome step, the buxom lassies HE;
The watchful COWS with dripping udders stand
And wait their turn meekeyed and patiently.
Meanwhile, soft whinnyiugs from the dusky
stall
Proclaim the farmers late return He strews
The bright, clean straw, and ministers to all
The wants of Gods dumb creatures ere re-
pose.o
Within, the housewife spreads the evening
meal;
From hearth to board, how busily she flies,
While fragrant vapors from the dishes steal,
And children stand around with wistful eyes.
Now all is finished, and the welcome horn
Startles the night with loud, insistent bray;
Far DER the vale the lengthening sound is
borne,
And slow, without an echo, dies away.
tn.from the milking come the merry maids;
The youths from various tasks turn willingly;
All gathered round the board; they bow their
heads
And seek = gracious blessing from on high
Uncovered now, the savory dishes pour
Their cloud of incense to. the ceiling brown,
While soft night airs steal through the open
door
And toss the candle hame-now up-now
down.
o happy scene, removed from every care,
Gods benson, like evening dew, Re on thee !!
Long thou shalt dwell with me. picture fair,
Till Heavens brighter vision dawns upon me.
