Thomas r. Newly, Of Knightstown,
Ind, furnishes twenty views of his Hrtit
farm, including fields, orchards, cattle
and stock, such as booded horses and
sheep, and in one picture is to be seen
a barrel of picked apples going on a team
into cold storage for the fair of 1900 Cold
storage for fruit does notNmean freezing
but such low temperature as prevents
decay-just short of freezing. Choicest
fruits can be kept thus for an indefinite
period of time.
There are many interesting views of the
tropical scenery about st. Augustine, Fla.
that combine beauty with instruction. The
many buttressed roots of the rubber tree
must prove especially interesting to those
who have never seen the strange vagar-
les of growth these trees assume under
tropical suns. Live oaks, draped with
moss, are decorative enough to make a
picture without other setting than such
as naturally surrounds them-pineapples,
bananas, and palms rearing their tall
stalks and futtering a tuft of feathery
foliage alOft
In striking contrast to this tropical
scenery is an Idaho nursery, extending
over two miles of prairie as level as a
floor. On this field stands a royal apple
tree, the first planted in the State, which
has attained the goodly age of thirty
years, and still is bearing choice fruit.

One of the most practical of all the ex-

settlement, and has population of some
1900 souls. all employees Of the manufac-
turing establishments run by the own
ers. But these are APPARENTLY a happy
people, each family having a little cottage
home. designed to be not only home
but an ornament to the landscape. Each
lot is 10 feet wide and 14e feet deep, so
that each house stands little apart from
the others, and the sun and air has n
chance at il on ali sides. Each has its
porch. bay-windOw. or balcony, all vine
Wreathed or set in a mass of beauty and

is one of the beauty spots on Ohios noble
front. and the children are offered prizes
for cultiyating beauty spots In their door
or back yards. The best front yard at
the end of the season yields its owner So

brings its keeper $50 In gold. Window
boxes and vines growing over pOrches
bring the cultivators Of 80 much lowell

For ages IL has been thought
that Cancer Is incurable, and
