Plan for a Vacation Trip.

"I wonder why a farmer does not set
aside $50 each year for use In travelling"
writes a level-headed contributor. 1t will
be money well expended. during a cou-
pie OF weeks, seeing the sights with the
good wife. Perhaps you cant AFFORD"
any vacation. let alone spending $50 on
IT. Well, perhaps you cant afford" to
l!vel What's life for II we are not to
enjoy n? Get neighbor to care for
your stock and work that must be done
during your absence. II you have no one
to leave on the farm. and do as much
for him. A little neighborly cooperation
will make a vacation possible that other
wise nigh, seem out OF the question.
Some season 1t would be wise policy to
spend a week In busy city, not visiting
friends but paying for each privilege.
Such change would be beneficial alike
to mind and body. The show Of poverty
and suffering OF those who cannot or
will not forsake the city for the freedom
OF country life. will be as opportune as
the glamour and show Of fine horses and
equipages. and the many attractions.
Every city Is overcrowded.
Make the change OF scene In your va
cation as pronounced as possible. Change
is rest, as Abe Lincoln used TO say when

of good. II You live by the water, go In
land or 10 the mountains.
Wherever you go. take life easy. Rest.
Don't try to see everything. Take your
comfort. The farmer Is a typical Amer
lean when he travels; he wants to do
everything and see everything for the
least possible time and money. Do less
and see less. bu; be more thorough. OBJ
serve how the people live and work.
Note that all Is not gold that glitters and
tina. every section or business has its
disadvantages.
Such change. even II only for day
or two, lifts the farmer and his family
right out Of the rut And they usually
return to the farm not only refreshed.
but better satisfied with the homestead
than ever. This Is big, bright world.
but there's no place in 1t like home. A
report in a grange or farmers club from
two or three who have spent vacations
and small sums in this way would make
meeting of great attractlveness and
interest.-Amerioan Agricuitur!st.

Quite Likely.

Mr.. James Hyde, once a lawyer In a
small town on Long Island, tells a
good story about himself. He says:
1T was when / used to practice law
in little town near the centre OF the
State. A farmer had one of his neigh
bors arrested for stealing ducks, and
l was employed by the accused to en-
deavor to convince the court that such
was not the case. The plaintiff was
positive that his ne.ghbor was guilty,
because he had seen the ducks in the
defendants yard.
How do you know they are your
ducks?' l asked.
"'Oh. l should know my own ducks
anywhere" replied the farmer, and he
gave description Of their various
peculiarities whereby he could read
Ny distinguish them frcn others.
"'Why.' said !. those ducks can't
be OF such rare breed! / have seen
some Just Ike them in my owa
yard.
That's not al ali unlikely re-
piled the farmer, 'ror they are not the
only ducks l have kad stolen lately"

ORCHARD iyp GARDEN.

For tree wounds various things are
used. Perhaps the best material is
tar. long used by Frof Sargent. with
excellent results At the Kew Gardens
coal TAR and carbol!c acid Is used with
entire success.
After the frequent rains and the warm
sunshine look for weeds to grow rapid

A writer recommends the following as
a good lawn grass mixture: Forty
pounds to the acre of timothy. orchard.
blue grass, red top, perennial. rye grass
and red clover Timothy does well on
well-drained land: red top on moist land;
orchard grass Is a good all-round sort;
blue grass on limestone. and 1t Is a good
pasturage and lawn grass.
In reply to an inquiry OF a subscriber
the Rural New Yorker says that suck
ers. sprouts and dead limbs may be re-
moved from fall till spring. The suck
ers. old limbs and dead wood should be
cut out: the suckers should be removed
so as to enable light to reach the in
terror Of the tree. An orchard that Is In
n thrifty condition may be pastured and
manured WE'LL but, as a rule, orchards
can only be kept in vigorous and
thrifty condition by cultivation Of the
soil
Apple orchards are numerous, and In
Pennsylvania and New York every farm
has an orchard but when the trees were
planted proper attention was not given
the varieties of apples. This applies
mostly to old orchards. II apples are
properly treated as a crop, rather than
to partly occupy the ground while some
other crop Is grown between the trees.
the orchard will give an excellent re-
turn, especially II proper methods for
harvesting and storing the fruit are
practlced.
Coarse ground bone on the orchard
land will show good effects for many
years, as the particles OF bone will be
given off gradually each year. and there
will be less liability OF loss Of phosphorlo
acid from teaching. Potash Ia also ex-

She started across the street at
Fourth and Race, but when just half
way over came TO a dead halt between
the two car tracks. Evidently she did
not see the two cars bearing down
upon her from opposite directions nor
hear the shouts directed at her from
bystanders and other passengers
The motormen kicked their gongs
vigorously. and put on brakes. There
was a general scramble in the dazed
woman's direction by half dozen
would-be rescuers, and still she did not
move. The cars were of the summer
sort, and the footboards would surely
catch her and grind her TO pieces II
she was not snatched away from the
danger. Years seemed to pass In the
moments that followed, and Just as
everyone, including the policeman and
conductors. had turned to shut out
from their view the terrible accident
that must follow. the cars came to a
standstill within two feet of each
other. Then she came to herself and
climbing into one Of the cars she sidled
across 1t and out again on the other
side. while the crowd breathed a sigh
OF relief.
THAT was narrow escape, ma'am,' ~
said the conductor nearest her. What
was the matter? Just got frightened
