The practice of whitewashing trees
is not injurious, but conmendable. 1t
destroys eggs of insects and insects
themselves, which the bark harbors.
HERE is a little item of information
that may be of help to anyone pos
sessing a garden troubled by the cut
worm. The best remedy is to put
piece of tin or stiff cardboard around
each plant when it is set out.
THOUSANDS of trees exhaust them
selves in the attempt to produce fruit,
| and only yield that which is worthless,
| when small outlay for fertilizer
| would not only add more vigor to the
| trees, but also render the fruit salable.
| SPROUTS growing up from the roots OF
trees take nourishment that should go
to the trees. The sprouts are really
weeds, and should not be allowed to
| grow even an inch. Unless kept down
they not only injure the trees, but
! render them unsightly.
| CALVES weaned from their dams
! when but few days old are not easily
raised during the warm season. Give
them fresh milk four times day, and
as soon as they can be taught to take
! it give them oatmeal cruel with small
quantity of linseed meal added.
OvkRcRowDING fowls in the roost or
range must always be counted as one
of the worst rocks on which poultry
men steer with more or less force.
Fifty hens in an overcrowded house
will not lay as many eggs as twenty
five, and they will eat just twice as

BABY AND THE eoTTLE.

Story Suggested by Combination ON the
Rail.
A few days ago baby left town by
train. To be sure, there were others
the mother and father, and the baby's
nurse. But these didn't count, for it
was first baby. The dining-car at
tachment to the baby's train was a
nursing-bottle.
The members of the group had dis
posed themselves comfortably in the
car, and it was just drawing out of the
station, when the nurse discovered that
the baby's nursing bottle was missing.
Search was made for it every where
on the floor, in the bags, even in tho
pockets Of the unhappy father; there
was the nice little pail of cold milk in
tended to fill the bottle, there was the
package Of baby food, there was every
thing but the bottle.
A days journey without = nursing
bottle!
"And she's too little to drink thing"
walled the young mother
Under such unusual circumstances of
| storm and stress as this, there was but
| one thing to do-to call the porter. And
they did it.
The porter reflected. They might
| telegraph on to the next station, he
finally suggested: Telegraph to the
| station master to have a man meet the
train with baby's nursing bottle"
ooh, yes" gasped the mother with an
air of relief.
Just the thing" said the father
gladly, and followed the grinning porter
down the car.
'.See here,' said the young man, slip
ping a bill into the black hand, you'd
better tend to the matter and telegraph
on ahead to half dozen stations or so,
and have bottles sent down. The first
one might miss, you know, and we
must be sure and have bottle"
yes, SIR" said the porter, II under
stand" And evidently he did. For
when the first station he had tele-
graphed to was reached in came youth
with nursing bottle. It was put to
work at once, and quiet brooded over the
car. At the next station there came in a
youth with a nursing bottle. This wa.
gladly received as understudy for the
first in case of disaster. When the
train stopped again, another nursing
bottle appeared in the doorway. Ther
the passengers began to smile. and the
next station began to be anticipated BY
them.
Sure enough, at the next station th'
most prominent person on the static,
| platform was a man with one of thos
| unmistaka BILE bottles. Then peopl
laughed, and the only unconcerned per
son in the car was the baldheaded on
for whom all this was going on.
At the next sta ton another man an
another bottle. Then the young moth
er began to get hysterical. Were per
feet sights!" she was heard to whisper
excitedly. ''Were not an orphan asy
lum nor a baby farm"
Then the young husband was seen +
go hastily out and interview the porte
once more. This time the medium O
exchange was silver. The porter ha,
evidently promised to be of secon
service and probably greater one.-N

church history records the establish.
ment of the "Chicago Mission" which
Included all the settlements from Otta-
wa to Chicago. The mission was placed
in charge of Rev. Jesse Walker, the man
who delivered the first Methodist Ser.
mon ever heard at Fort Dearborn.
This same circuit rider has an inter
esting history. lie was born in Buck
inghan county, Va, June 0, 1865, was
converted by Baptist preacher when
but nine years old, but for want Of
proper instruction became a back
slider. When about twenty years Of
age ho was reclaimed, and united
with the Methodists. He was soon
aftcrward appointed class leader, and
in 1902 began to preach. Although a
man possessed neither Of educational
nor oratorical powers, his labors proved
miraculously successful. His zeal for
the cause overcame alp obstacles. For
a long time his income did not exceed
$40 year, frequently running down to
$50 and s22. His gift of producing en-
thusiasm in a congregation enabled
him to plant good seed wherever he
went, and the prosperity of the Meth
odist Episcopal church OF to-day is due
in a great measure to Jesse Walker and
others like him who gave up all to
serve their Masters cause.
In 1881 Rev. 9. r. Beggs organized
the first church society in Chicago. II
was composed of eight members-two
men and six women. Later in the
year the number was increased Ia
thirteen, and Mr.. Beggs was appointed
pastor OF the Chicago mission. AS MI
Walkers appointment in 1881 included
Chicago only as one of the numerous
charges in his care, Mr.. Beggs may be
considered the first Methodist parson
regularly stationed at Chicago.
Father Beggs, as he is called by his
acquaintances, is still living, and reside:
at present in the little town Of Plain

county, Va, March SO, 1901. When fou:
years of age he removed with his par

Selling Young Pigs.

The chief danger in growing pigs for
profit is in becoming overstocked.
Those who sell early, even though they
do not get all the profit the pig might
bring by keeping and fattening, are
reasonably certain of making money.
Some farmers are unreasonable about
their bargains, They always want not
merely the best end of the bargain, but
all there is in it for themselves. But
others must live as well as they. In
selling stock of any kind the buyer as
we'll as the seller should make. If he
does not by and by there will be no
buyers. All commercial business is
pursued on the principle of mutual ad-
vantage. If it were not it must run out
from lack of support. II takes two to
make a bargain. and if bargaining is tc
continue both parties must be allowed
to live. e.--Colman's Rural World.
