SUNLIGHT FOR APPLE TREES.

In order to produce such a
crop Of apples as trees sometimes do
they must do large amount of work
in collecting the crude materials re-
quired and in manufacturing them
into such refined products as Craven
stcins, Greetings and Baldwins. Sun
light, by its action upon its foliage,
furnishes largely the power that runs
the machinery of an apple tree. The
amount OF this power that tree can
use in q measure determines no " much
fruit the tree can bear.
The natural habit of the apple tree
is to form a rounded top, with the
branches bending low, to catch as
much sunlight as possible. Itis too
common practice to cut these limbs
off, which may in the case of a we'll.
grown tree represent from 400 to 800
square feet of The normal bearing SUE.

permanently injure the tree. 1t Is as
important for an apple tree that is
to do its beet work to have it's top ad-
iusted to use the light as it is for a
sailing vessel to be trimmed to catch
the wind.

Got His Money Back.

Thirty. three years ago, in the good
old State of Pennsylvania, two young
people decided to get married BY the
elopement route, says the Ashland

points, and on account of parental OBJ
lection, it become necessary that they
meet upon neutral ground. So the
lovesick swain forwarded to his turtle
dove fifty good, sound dollars to en-.
able her to fly to him, but alas for
human hopes, the young lady's father
intercepted the letter and pocketed
the money. He likewise intercepted
the letters that followed, until the
young man, disgusted at tie silence OF
the one he loved, tore her image from
his heart and set his cap for another.
Years passed both parties to the little
romance married and moved from the
keystone State, the young lady to u
far Western State, the young man to
to Ashland, Ky, whero he now draws
a salary as an efficient city official.

THE PROFITABLE COW.

Size-Anywhere between 600 and
1000 pounds. An average COW of any
breed will answer, other things being
equal.
Conformation-Large barrel and
great capacity, as shown by the deep
iaiddle and ribs we'll sprung. Neck,
shoulders and thigh thin. Wide over
hips and loins, and above all else thin
in flesh and lacking beef form when
well fed. She should show good health
by having good heart girth, good ap-
petite, and hair as smooth as silk.
Football she will habitually eat up
clean and digest of well balanced
ration.
Production-Her annual butter pro-
duct should never fall below 200
pounds and with butter ut fifteen cents
net there is little profit at 250 pounds.
TO get such COWS use only registered
bulls of your favorite breed. Do not
use bull whose dam as two-year-
old will not produce l60 pounds or as
mature cow 800 pounds of butter
fat. The best bull obtai2able is none
too good. Do not begrudge the $50
or 500 it will take to buy such bull.

How to Make Cracker Jack.

Long before anyone thought of sell.
ing the candy that increases your ap'
petite rather than satisfies it, little
Southern girl thought out the recipe
for herself. She was very fond OF pop,
corn, also of molasses candy, and it
occurred to her that it would not be a
bad plan to mix them. There was m
old hunting dog in the family, who
had the same tastes, anG when his
mistress went into the kitchen to make
her favorite delicacy, he went, too,
and sat near the stove, with his great
eyes fixed wistfully upon her and his
mouth fairly dropping water as he
smelled the good rich smell. He al.
ways got a generous share of the
candy as soon as it was done. This is
the way that little girl made it then,
and the way she makes it now for her
own children, who like it as well as
she did.
The corn she always preferred, if
she could get it, was the squirrel
tooth corn, and, if possible, that which
was 3 year old. She shelled and
popped the corn, sometimes in q pop
per, but often in tin pan with pie.
plate for cover. By shaking the pan
as soon as the corn gets hot, the corn
will pop as we'll in this fashion as in
regular pepper. After the corn was
popped, she set an iron skillet on the
fire, with cupful of molasses, piece
of butter the size of q walnut, and q
saltspoonful of salt in it, and cooked
the mixture until, on dropping little
into cup OF cold water, it would
candy. Then she set it on the back OF
the stove, where it would not cook any
more, and stirred into it just as much
of the popped corn as she possibly
could. The more corn the better the
candy. Then she would take up the
pieces of corn on the top OF the skillet,
which had the least candy on thom,
and pat them into cakes, or roll them
into balls. Next, she would stir in
more popcorn, and repeat the process,
and so on, until she had used mp all
the candy. She would set the cakes
in butterea dish away to cool, and
afterward she and the dog would have

EXPERIMENTS IN PIG FEEDING.

The Illinois Experiment Station has
published the results of sixteen expert
ments made in feeding corn alone to
pigs. These experiments were made
in nine different months of the year,
and show excellent work. The average
of the sixteen lots showed III pounds
live weight made from ffty-six pounds
of corn; with corn worth thirty-fye
cents per bushel this would make pork
cost trife over three cents per pound.
The poorest results were obtained
from work done in January, which
showed 6.93 pounds from one bushel
of corn fed to pigs weighing 1OS
pounds each. The next poorest re-
suits were obtained in June, July and
August, and showed S.2S pounds per
bushel of corn fed to pigs weighing
208 pounds each. The third poorest
result was in July, and showed S.66
pounds per bushel fed to pigs of 223
pounds weight. The best work was
done in December, and showed 1851
pounds from one bushel of corn.-

varies with the latitude, and hence is
greater at Edinburgh, and less at
Paris than at London; and as the

1t has been proven that the incan.
descent electric lamp does not
"smoke" the ceiling, as hos been
claimed, but that the smoky effect is
due to dust. The heat of the lamp nat.
urally causes current of air to arise,
and the consequence is that there is
more dust deposited on the ceiling
above the lamp than anywhere else.

DISCIPLINE OF DIFFICULTIES.

This whole thought. the discipline OF dif-
fculties. may be emphasized in brief but
suggestive parable. 1t is about the wing
less birds. There is myth about the birds,
that when they were first created they had
no wings. The story is that God made the
wings, put them down before the birds. and
said: "Now, come. take these burdens up
and bear them" The birds had beautiful
plumage and voices. They could sing and
shine. but they could not soar. But at the
word of their maker, they took up the
wings with their beaks and laid them upon
their shoulders to carry. At first they
seemed to be g heavy load, and rather dif-
fcult to bear. But as they cheerfully and
patiently bore them, and folded them close
over their hearts, 10! the wings grew fast.
and that which they once bore now bore
them. The burdens became pinions. and the
weights became wings.
We are the wingless birds. Our duties
are the pinions. When at first we assume
they do not seem to be heavy loads.
But. glad and happy fact, as we cheerfully
bear them on. as we obediently take up the
tasks God gives. as we meet the difficulties.
rs we do the duties, the burdens change to
pinions. the weights become wings and lift
us heavenward. Let US. then. with the
apostle. glory in tribulations also; know
ing that tribulation worketh patience: and
patience. experience; and experience, hope;
and hope maketh not ashamed: be-
cause the love OF God is shed abroad in our
hearts," Thank God for your testings,
Thank God for the difficulties that develop
your strength. Thank God for all His dis
ciplinary dealings; for He makes every hind
rance help, every obstacle an impulse on
ward, every retarding weight wing to lift
US toward Himself. B. F. Hallock,

RELIGIOUS READING.
HOPE WITHOUT HALLUCISAT1oN.

A well-balanced man or woman who can
strictly be said to possess q perfectly sound
mind. is comparatively rare, even rarer than
one who has perfect health. And while in
some people this lack of balance shows itself
in the mingling of fanaticism with their
faith, in others it is more commonly shown
by the amount OF hallucination which alloys
their hope. Hope is decidedly different from
faith, although they are frequently con-
founded A man may have great faith and
little hope. or. great hope and little faith. 10
charge a man with lack offaith-that is, faith
in God-when he expresses distrust OF the
success of some undertaking or doubts the
wisdom of some movement is very unfair.
1t may not have been q matter in which
faith, properly speaking, could come IN at
all. The word of God was not in question,
had not been pledged. Faith secs. nope
toresees. The future is the realm OF hope,
while faith pertains to the present. Hope
has to do only with what is pleasant while
faith covers the dark as well as the bright {;
we believe Gods threatenings no less than
His promises.
Blessed is he who. either by natural tenn
perament or on principle and as the result
Of religious cultivation, is hopeful, cheerful,
optimistic, expecting success. But such
man will need to be strictly on his guard
against self-deception. In nine cases out OF
ten he will be Likely to forget some OF the
stern facts that his calculations ought to
take into account. His hope will run away
with his judgment. He will look at things
through rose-colored medium. and not in
the clear. white light of truth. Hence he will
pursue chimeras under the full persuasion
that they are realities. He will waste
his fortune ON some bubble of specu-
lation around which his imagination has
thrown a golden radiance. He must take
pains to clarity his perceptions without
losing his cheerful determinations. Enthu-
siasm can be preserved, while foolishness
and extravaganza are avoided. Genuine
hope does not take its rise from a morbid
condition of the nervous system, nor does it
absorb flattering delusions. 1t is steady and
serene. confident and calm, holding fast to
all facts and guiding to assured prosperity.

FATTENING PIGS.

From the feeding experiments,
which extended over three years, on
the fattening of over 100 swine upon
grain, the following general conclu-
sions are reached by the Canadian Ex-
pertinent Station:
l. On the average 4.3s pounds of
grain (barley, rye, peas, wheat, frosted
wheat, and wheat bran) was the qusn.
tity consumed per pound of increase
in the live weight.
2. In the feeding of grain, consid-
ering quantity of feed consumed and
the general health of the animals, it is
profitable to feed the grain ground
and soaked in water for al average of
about thirty hours.
8. Is is profitable to add about three
or five pounds of skim milk or butter
milk per head per day to the grain fed
to fattening swine.
