If fruits of any kind are to be set
out, see that the supply be purchased
and the ground picked out and pre-
pared, the stakes set. so that when the
time shall come for transplanting there
need be no delay. With many spring
is considered the best time for setting
out fruit, and If this plan be intended,
so far as possible, the work should be
done early, so that the trees or plants
viii be able to make GOOD start to
grow before hot, dry weather shall have

As soon as fermentation begins in
manure some of its substance is given
off in gas. but il this fermentation goes
on in the soil it will be slow, and the
products of the decay can be used by
crops, not to speak Of the advantage to
the soil from the fermentation, which
decomposes the inert nitrogen COM
pounds in the humus and disintegrates
other insoluble matters. After all, then,
it may be better practice to turn under
manure while fresh than to W ait for the
well-rotted manure so generally praised.

HONORING HERSELF.

How a Bright yassar Girl Earned Her
College Expenses.
Every girl knows the value put upon
money by schoolgirls, even when they
become college girls, and the one who
would have the courage to be-
come in a sense the maid and
seamstress of a classmate for
the sake of earning money to pay her
expenses deserves the honor, respect
and admiration of every American girl.
Nothing paltry nor mean could touch
such girl. She will make her mark,
and win any position for which she
aims.
Some of the girls who go to Vassar,
says one of our exchanges. are as help
less as babes. They are the daughters
of rich men, and would not have it
supposed that they ever brushed their
own hair or sewed button on their
boots in their lives. They are only
too glad to have some one do these
things for them, and that is how the
poorer girls make pocket money. Last
year pretty, blue-eyed girl came to
college, and stated during the first
week that her tuition and board were
paid by a kind relative, but every PEN
ny for dress, car fare, and the thousand
and one little incidentals she must
earn herself.
Soon after her arrival the following
announcement appeared on her door:
s.Gloves and shoes neatly mended for
ten cents each.
breakfast brought up for ten cents.
''Hair brushed each night for twenty
five cents a week.
"Beds made up at ten cents a week."
That little freshman made one hun
dred and fifty dollars the first year, and
that paid all her expenses, and good
part of her tuition fees Youths Com

'sShoe-pegs are made from white and

shoe findings dealer to a reporter,
land only the best-selected bodies of
trees are used" The wood is cut and
hauled as wanted, the sapwood only
being utilized and the heart or red
part removed and thrown away.
A New Hampshire shoe-peg manu-
featuring firm that produces 10000
bushels annually uses second-growth
birch, which is considered a quick
growing timber; and it has been found
that the supply equals the demand in
located. The wood is worked green
and seasoned in the process of manu-
facture. A shoe-peg goes through
eighteen different hands of processes
before it reaches the market and is
placed on sale, and Is per cent. of cost
is for labor.
There are ten shoe-peg factories in
the United States, employing about
800 hands, having a capital of $4,000.
While in the near past large quantity
of shoe-pegs were imported from En-
gland, we now export to that as well as
almost all other European countries in
large quantities. Shoe-pegs range in
price from thirty-fve cents per bushel
for those called two-eighths up to
ninety-five cents for eight-eighths. The
shoe-peg industry Is growing one
