The gooseberry can be shipped to
the ends of the earth. 1t will keep
for n week, In the early morning
you can pick your gooseberries
whether it be wet or dry. If you
find a market they will pay hand
somely. They occupied space of
three by four feet each. They sell
everywhere and there is no excuse
for the commission merchants to say
that they did not come in good shape.
The currant is not far behind the
gooseberry.
The currant bushes should be
planted where partial shade exists,

rich, they will be killed in a hot, dry

In an address at the Ontario dairy
mems convention Prof. j. p. Roberts
said: ''The calf should be kept grow
ing from the day of its birth till ma
turity, and the two extremes of over
and under-feeding should be intelli-
gently avoided. Lack of nutrition
must always be distinguished from
healthy growth, and healthy growth
from fatness. AS between over-feed
ing and under-feeding the latter is
preferable. A cali over-fed until two
years of age is almost certainly
ruined, always injured, while calf
under-fed will have its milking quail
tiles only slightly injured and its
normal size perceptibly reduced. This
n some cases may act beneficially in
reducing the size of animals which
are inclined to be too large, and if
the after-feeding is correct and the
quantity of food fed liberal, no seri-
Gus injury will occur, especially if the
heifer is bred young and correctly
fed through her entire first milking
season. The skill in feeding the
heifer in her two or three year old
form, especially the former, will de-
termine most certainly the character
of the future COW.

Oddities About the River Nile.

The Nile has fall of but six inches
to the thousand miles. The overflow
commences in June every year and
continues until August, attaining an
elevation of from twenty-four to
twenty-six feet above low-water mark,
and flowing through the "valley of
Egypt" in a turbulent body twelve
miles wide. During the last thousand
years there has been but one sudden
rise of the Nile, that of 1929, when 30,-
900 people were drowned. After the
waters recede each year the exhalation
from the mud are simply intolerable
to all except natives. This mud de-
posit adds about eight inches to the
soil every century and throws muddy
embankment from twelve to sixteen
feet into the sea every year. This
being the case it is plain that the
mouth of the river is thousands of feet
further north now than it was in the
time of the Ptolemies and it is only a
question of time when the sediment
will make dam entirely across the
Mediterranean sea.-St. Louis Re-
public.

Pruning and Thinning Necessary for
Peaches,

Pruning and Thinning Necessary for
Peachrs.
Pruning is one of the main points
about peach growing, and consists
chiefly in cutting back each year S
growth about one-half. BY this sys-
tenn of annual pruning the trees grow
stocky and spreading in form, max
ing the tree self-sustaining and capa-
bic of bearing four or five bushels of
fruit without the aid of props. 1t
also facilitates the thinning and pick
ing. We have seen trees bearing
four bushels of fruit picked without
the aid of ladder. A peach tree
under such pruning will produce
larger, smoother and better fruit
than one pruned in the usual way 1t
will throw out fruit bearing twigs all
along the main limbs, and even ON
the trunk down to the ground. They
seem to dry off in a year or two, only
to be replaced by others, so we have
renewal system producing an abun-
dance of new wood each year, and
bringing the fruit down where it is
easy of access.

lhe requisites 1Of tne business OF
farming are practical knowledge, a
watchful eye, thinking, active mind
and an untiring, energetic arm.
We want an eye which can see
when things are going wrong,
whether it is in the manner of car
ing for our stock, the methods used
in growing our crops, or in the way
we market our produce. We need a
mind that is ever active in devising
ways and means for correcting our
errors and adopting methods that
will lesson the cost of producing
crops. We want to plan our barns
so that we can do the greatest
amount of chores, with the least pos
sible number of steps. We must
have an untiring, energetic arm,
which will give push to the bust
ness and place it in favorable posi-
tion among other occupations.
Thinning is an indispensable oper-
alton where large merchantable
peaches are wanted, and it is not
such tedious work as some imagine,
but it requires no small amount of
grit and determination to attack a
tree well laden with green fruit,
smooth and healthy, only wanting a
few weeks of warm sunshine and a
few gentle showers to turn it to
blushing lusciousness. But we must
not let our sentimentalism get the
better of our judgment. Fruit grow
ing is business, and if we expect to
make it a success, we must run it on
business principles.-Our Grange
Homes.
in regard to the cost of production
of crops, | believe it can be reduced
nearly in the proportion that we
manipulate the improved farm ma
chinery and also by getting oul
farms into high state of cultivation
Take for example the hay crop which
stands in good condition, and which
| am confident could be doubled in
the amount grown to the acre anC
thereby the cost of producing tor
lessened. AS we increase the fertil
ity of our lands, we also increase not
only the quantity of the crops, but
the certainty of them also.

IuNACY AND MURDER.

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Oct. 29.-Mrs.
Frederick Seigers this evening shot and
killed her 4-year-old grandson, Frank
Volckens, and then committed suicide.
Frank Volckens was the son OF Frank
Pauckner of Brooklyn. N. Y, who four
years ago. in fit of jealousy, shot his
wife, and then, thinking that he had killed
her. shot and killed himself. Mrs. Pauck-
ner was enciente at the time, but she sur
vived her wound, and while still in the
hospital gave birth to the child which to-
day met such horrible death.
When the child was year old his mother
consented to his adoption by Frank
Volckens his uncle, of this city. Mrs.
Pauckner's mother (the child's grand
mother) lived here also. She was an aged
lady of 65 years. and was totally blind
Her mind was slightly unbalanced. and
she became imbued with the idea that the
child was badly treated by his foster par
ents. She lived alone in a cottage near
the VOlckens house, and Mrs. Volckens
allowed the child to visit his grandmother
every afternoon rs source OF solace to her.
The child made the usual visit at 4
O'clock this afternoon, and when he did
not return home at o'clock Mr.. Volckens
became alarmed and went after the boy.
He found the door locked ,and his repeated
knockings brought no response. He
suspected something was wrong, and.sum-
moning policeman, they broke in the
trout door and made search Of the house.
When they entered Mrs. Selgers' bedroom
horrible sight confronted them. Stretch
ed ut full length on the bed lay the bodies
of Mrs. Seiger and her little grandson,
bathed in blood. In the right temple OF
each was bullet hole, and revolver
clutched in the old lady's hand showed the
manner of their death The coroner view
ed the bodies this afternoon and will hold
an inquest on Monday.
