Regarding Young Orchards.

1t sometimes happens that the
farmer finds even before his orchard
gets to bearing that large part of the
trees are of varieties that will not give
him much profit. Regrafting to better
sorts is very laborious and expens.
i've process if the trees have grown to
nearly bearing size, because so many

they must be cut away as soon as the

is to take few years to do the graft.
ing, putting in two or three gratis
each spring, until the entire head is
changed. So much cutting away OF
the top wood will cause many sprouts
to start. These must be destroyed
as fast as they appear, rubbing them
off while the green shoot can be re-.
moved with the thumb and finger.

Pendulous Trees For the Lawn.

The smaller trees of a pendulous or
weeping habit are very desirable for
small grounds, but they must be used
with caution else they will give the
grounds an appearance best described
by the word dropping. On grounds
OF liberal dimensions, where orna.
mental trees are used in considerable
numbers, those of pendulous habit
serve admirably to break up straight
lines and add grace.
There is considerable variation
among the weeping trees in form and
color of foliage and in habit of growth.
The cut-leaved weeping birchis of up.
right habit in the main branch and
many of the lateral ones, but the
small twigs and the tips of the large
branches droop gracefully, the silvery
bark and delicately out foliage making
o most attractive tree of slender, Wig
orous growth. In sharp contrast to
this is the Japan weeping cherry,
whose branches begin to droop as
they leave the main stem. While
these pendulous branches are attrac-
tive. particularly so because they bear
masses of rose-colored flowers, they
must be kept well pruned and have
considerable space to spare or they
will occupy too much ground.
The weeping beech is too large for
small grounds, but with the branches
twisting and spreading from a straight
trunk, and its rich foliage, it is attrac-
tive for large spaces. The weeping
mulberry is a perfect tree for small
grounds, 1t is hardy, grows only six
or seven feet high, and its long slen-
der branches droop to the ground and
form an umbrella of attractive foliage.
The weeping camper-down elm is fine
tree for large grounds, or for smaller
ones where but one or two trees of a
pendulous habit are to be grown.
The growth is heavy and more or less
crooked, first outward and then down.

College Golf Girls.

While golf has been gaining q
stronger hold upon the affections OF
women all over the country it has not
neglected to cast its fascinating spell
upon the college girl.
At Vassar there is beautiful nine
hole course situated ON the college
grounds, and winding in and cut
among the college buildings IS and across
the athletic field. The opportunity
for golf at the Poughkeepsie institu-
ton is all that could be desired. Coli
there is department of the Athletic
Association, and any member of this
organization has all the privileges of
the course.
Smith College numbers many en-.
thusiastic golfers among its students,
and on the charming elm shaded
streets of quaint Northampton there
may be noticed any fine day young
women waiting for the electric cars
which go to Leeds and williamsburg
through links of the college. 1t is a
delightful ride out to these links, and
an afternoon spent in the journey to
and fro and on the field is never a
wasted one.
Interest in golf is just beginning at
Bryn Mawr. Several years ago a golf
club was started by the graduates and
links were then laid out. Last year
the athletic association took the mat
ter in hand and laid out small course
with money which had been raised by
subscription for this purpose. In the
fall golf club was organized, with a
membership fee of 81. so, in order to
raise enough money to set out new
larger course. Now the interest in the
sport seems widespread and sufficient
ly assured. There are already about
hundred members in the club, and
it is expected that many more girls
will join this season.
The difficulty of getting money
enough properly to keep college
golf course seems to have been o part
of the experience of Wellesley as well
as of Bryn Mawr. The ground at
Wellesley was prepared through the
generosity of DIR. Charming, of Brook
lyn, who also gave the college the
necessary flags and good number of
golf clubs.
The Wellesley Golf Club was started
five years ago, but during the past two
years has naturally been more sue
cessful than in the earlier period,
when women were much less gen
orally interested in golf than they are
now. This club, as with all athletic cs
at Wellesley, is under the control of
the athletic association, and every
club member must be in good stand
ing in the larger organization. Phil

Thu GUIDES" OF INDIA.
Famous and Spiended Corps-Tho

A Famous and SPLENDID Corps-The
RegimentaI Spirit.
Before 1895 our frontier post was
"Mardan, where the Guides
are" Here, ever since It's foundation,
that famous and splendid corps has
been quartered in the intervals Of
campaigns which have consistently
added to the luster Of its record, says
G. w. Stevens In the London Mail.
The only corps in India, except the
Gurkha battalion, which has perma-
nent quarters, the Guides have made
Mardan less of station than a regi-
mental home. Here are its family
heirlooms-the mess-walls covered
with heads of buffalo and ibex, ante
iope and mountain sheep, with ban
ners taken from the enemy, and queer
Greco-Buddhist statuary excavated
out OF the neighboring hills Here is
the regimental cemetery-full now
and over1owing into a new one-and
an arch and little garden tardily
created by government to the mem
ory of the handful Of the corps who
died at post round Cavagnari in Ka-
bul. Also the little swimming bath
in the officers garden, the fort with
sentries Of many types-here a Sikh,
there an Afridi, a Gurkha, Rajput,

OF the pick Of all the fighting races
OF India. In enormous long white
trousers Sepoys and Sowars walk
placidly about their home and the

man, whose dyed beard only just
matches the mahogany Of his skin.
He regrets, politely, that the Guides

and remarks, as an incentive to my
future efforts, that he himself saw

The Merchants Association OF San

Monthly, has been trying the expert
ment of sprinkling street with sea
water, and finds that such water binds
the dirt together between the paving
stones, so that when it is dry no loose
dust is formed to be raised by the
wind; that sea water does not dry SO
quickly as fresh water, so that it has
been claimed when salt water has been
used one load of 1t is equal to three
loads of fresh water. The salt water
which is deposited on the street abb
.sorbs moisture from the air during the

LARGEST KITCHEN IN WORLD.

The last of the works of the much

here is the enlarged and improved
royal kitchen Cat Windsor castle). 1t

kitchen in the world-on ground where
royal kitchens have stood from time
immemorial. George ". it was who in
1928 gave it its lofty roof and top-light
ventilators, its splendid clock let into
the stone walls, and its generally me-

Of the kitchen is fixed an immense
and venerable smokestack, whose Or
igin is lost in the mists of antiquity.
One of these annually has the honor of
roasting her majesty's baron of beef.
The hot-plate table in the center of the
kitchen measures no less than IA feet
by nine feet. The batterie de cuisine,
IN its brilliant array of glittering cop
per, is large enough to cheer the hearts
of small army of gourmands; and to
show its office is no sinecure, one may
mention that 1t has to make an annual
visit to the manufacturer for restora-
ton and repair. Lady Bloomfield says
of this kitchen in 1912: "Tho fire was
more like Nebuchadnezzars burning
fiery furnace than anything else j can
think Of now; and though there is now
no company at windsor, there were at
least Is or 20 large joints OF neat

{ eNEWS AND NOTES;
:; FOR WOMEN.
A Present Day Nightingale.

Mrs. J. FL. r. Bond, who is now
living in Chicago, has led more ad.
venturous and exciting life than falls
to the lot of most of her sex.
Her duties as trained nurse have
led her into many strange countries
and over many hard-fought battle
field. She was only seventeen years
old whom she began active work in her
profession. From the training school
at the Queens Hospital, Birmingham,
England, she went to Netley to study
and from there she went to Woolwich.
When the English went to Zululand
Mrs. Bond-then Miss Alice Annie
Crisp-was one of the first nurses sent
with them by the Government.
She went all through the Zulu War
and the Egyptian campaign, enduring
all the hardships and privations that
fell to the lot of the soldiers and TAX
ing charge of the sick and the
wounded.
Mrs. Bond can show five medals
given her in recognition of her SER
vices-two were given her by the Eng
lish Government; one, a bronze star,
by the late Khedive of Egypt, and the
Order of the Royal Red Cross by
Queen Victoria. This last medal is
bestowed only for bravery in active
service in the field, nursing the Eng
lish soldiers or sailors during cam
paigns, or on members of the English
royal family. In the letter from the
Queen which accompanied the cross,
it was stated that it was given for
Especial devotion, competency and
bravery while with Her Majesty's
troops"
These medals and the distinction
which accompanied them were not
easily earned. During the Egyptian
and Zulu campaigns Mrs. Bond and
the nurses with her endured as much
in the way of hardships as any of the
soldiers. They did not expect or get
extra luxu1ies on account of their sex.
At one time in Zululand Mrs. Bond
and another nurse spent q month
travelling in OK carts from up in the
country down to Peter Maritglung,
taking charge of sixty sick and wound
ed soldiers. The sick were in ambu-
lances, but the nurses had only an OK
cart in which to make the month s

quently. 1t is advisable to set new
patch each year, since the first crop is
almost always the best. The year the
plants are set. the blossoms are kept
picked off so that the strength of the
plant may go to the runners, which
form new plants. The next year a
full crop may be expected. Straw
berries should be mulched in winter
to prevent them from heaving. The
proper distances for setting the vari-
GUS plants are about as follows
Raspberries, 3x6 feet; blackberries,

Probably the worst enemy to the
fruit garden is the currant worm, which
eats the leaves of both currants and

Slow terminating Seed.

There are some kinds of seeds, like
the satisfy, that are so hard and dry
that it seems impossible to germinate
them quickly enough in spring so as
to keep ahead of the weeds. We ad.
wise putting such seed in water made
almost scalding heat, or about $50 de.
grees, to 100 degree for few minutes
at time, Withdrawing the seed and
repeating the scalding until the seed
shows signs of swelling. Then plant
such seeds, and if the soil is warm the
plants will be up as quickly as the
weeds. Onion seed may be treated
the same way. Some kinds of plants
which come up very small and are not
conspicuous can be cultivated quite
near to the rows by dropping a few
radish seed in the row where the more
valuable crop is grown. The radisb
will show sooner than almost any other
garden plant, and what radish are thus
grown can be pulled out and used by
the time the other crop can be seen to
hoe closely to it.
