"The next evening, however, the
habit of returning there to sroost was
stronger than fear, and they began

the birds began to realize that there

few last shots put them to flight, and I
was troubled no more. III
"But what do you think those birds
aid? My dividing fence runs between
the trees on my property and the trees
on the property of my neighbor, which
ore equally high and suitable for

the birds were driven from my lot they

Another strange thingis that if any

Uncle Ned was really to blame for it

THE, OLD ESTATE or PIKE"
Once Extended to the Pacific Ocean l-Sits

Of the Largest Nursery in the World.
! From the Sc. Louts Republic.
The county of Pike is older than the State
of Missouri itself, having been laid out in
1919. The town OF Louisiana was laid out
in the same year, so that Louisiana, Mo-,
and the Estate Of Pike came into history
at the same time.
| When the Territorial Government estab-
lished Pike County its southern boundary
| was the northern line of st. Charles Coun-
| ty. The western line was along the divide
between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
to the extreme northern line of the Terri
tory of Upper Louisiana and. extended
to the Pacific Ocean on the west and to the
forty-ninth degree of north latitude >.
One of the biggest institutions in Louisi-
ana, Mo-, is the Stark Bros. Nurseries :. :,
Eighty years ago there came from Kentucky
to Pike County the late Judge Stark, then o
young man fresh from Old Hickory's New
Orleans campaign. He started the nursery
and planted the first grated orchard in the
State, having brought the scions ON horse
back from Kentucky.
The business has descended from father
to son, and is now conducted by the third
generation, assisted by the fourth. This
firm has more than / 900 statesmen and wants
as many more; business men, professional
men, mechanics, farmers and others, how
everinexperienced, are taught the business
and work the year round-r ecelving good
pay weekly. The company employs more
people in its offices than would be necessary
torun large manufacturing concern. The
extensive packing-houses. are connected
with the railroad by special track, whence
hundreds of car loads of trees are shipped
annually. The nursery grounds embrace
number of farms convent ent to the city, and
even extend to Rockport, H., where there
is plant of several million trees.
A popularity of the conc ern is the estab-
lishment of large orchards. These orchards,
in "a states, aggregate nearly 30, 0t0 acres,
3, 900 trees, on the partn ership plan. The
firm is also interested in nearly as many
more trees on the cooperative arrange
ment. ~. The Nurseries have b cen bene-
fetal not only to their home, but Missouri
owes no little of her prestige as a fruit
growing region to the progress and work of
development OF this firm.

According to the Vicksburg CONNER
eial Herald, the cotton picker made by the
cotton picker made by the American Cot
ton Picker Company, of Pittsburg, which
is being tested on cotton plantations, has
made very favorable impression among
the planters. One OF the pickers was
nlaced at work on the plantation OF g.
W. Dudley, at Lake Washington, in the
presence Of a number of experts, and il
is stated all were highly pleased with
the experiment. This machine will, it is
claimed, pick cotton without disturbing
the plant or disturbing the unripe cotton.
In one row OF cotton which was tested,
the picker gathered ali but eight and one
half ounces out of a total OF twenty-four
pounds and seven ounces, or 81 90 per
cent At the trial it was demonstrated
