Every orchardist should make him
self familiar with the fruit-crop con-
ditions Of each year. In that way
only can he know how valuable is
the fruit hanging on his trees. A
few years ago. when everything point
ed TO the probability Of high prices
for apples. the farmers in some coun-
ties almost gave away their apples.
Buyers that understood the conditions
bought up crops Of the trees at ten
cents per bushel and made enormous
profits put Of the transaction. The
growers thus failed to get their part
of the profits. What shall it profit
a man TO spend money and time in
planting an orchard and bringing IL
into bearing and then give away its
product? The grower should get
more out of il than any other per-
son; yet il is too often the middleman
that gets all the profts.-Fsrmess'

the casing allows the shank OF the angle

Siding catch al the rear of the casing

Cows in Hot. Dry Weather.

Cows that are forced TO undergo an
qua! periods of starvation. during the
annual droughts. must of necessity
gradually deterioratein milking powers
If cow owners would but consider how
the poor animals must suffer toiling
through the blazing heat trying to
gather enough food to satisfy their
hunger from the sunburned pastures,
humanity would move them
to relieve them. But they do not
think. they do not consider. more is
the pity. We are glad TO know. how
ever. that the number of such incon-
siderate cow owners is growing less
every year. The practice of providing
green food TO supplement. the pas
lures during the drought is rapidly
extending among cow owners. and
especially among owners of Jersey

Rec, Carry Heavy Weight.

Observations made to test this ques-
ton showed that bees can carry with
ease twice their weight in honey. Sew
eral bees were caught as they returned
to their hives laden with honey. and.
after inclosing them in a little box.
they were carefully weighed. When the
bees un.oaded their honey. they were
again caught. placed in the same box
and weighed a second time. This eK-
pertinent showed that the bees when
laden weighed three times as much as
when empty. 1t was therefore proved
that a bee can carry twice its own
weight in honey. and can hy very long
distances with that weight.-Rural

passing vehicles. At each side OF the
rails are layers OF binding stones. the
road between the rails being paved

PRIVATE DAIRYING.
Results Are Bound to Be Res.
sonably Satisfactory.

AZ a matter of fact the private dairy
man has a decided advantage over the
creamery butter-maker. so says Mrs.
Carrie Wilson in . paper read before
the Vermont State Dairy association.
He controls the feeding OF his COWS
and the handling OF the milk from the
time II Is drawn from the Gov until the
butter is made. The patrons of the
creamery always have among them
= or more who are not as careful or
as c~.eanly in their methods as they
might be. 0 does the carrying OF
the mix OF ream 10 tkree miles
on a ho- day add to its desirable quail
ties: bUc the creamery bu1Iermaker
is an expert; he is methoCical. exact.
and knows how to Offset to some ex-
tent tht c~are,essneSS of his patrons.
Hence his product is more ever il
quality and flavor than that of the
average private dairy. II all private
oairie> were conducted on the same
lines as the most successful creamer-
les. then the product OF the former
would in nearly every instance excel
that Of the latter. This is not written
in the way Of 6isparaging the cream
cry. Quite the contrary. 1t has been
the main factor in improving the quail
tiles Of the dairy herds, the methods
OF the dairyman and the quality of the
butter made in this and other states.
II would have required long years. per.
haps a generation. to bring about the
Improvements in dairying that the
creamery has done in the past ten. We
only wish that every poor but,ermak-
er in the state would become patrons Of
a creamery. 1t would not only help
the quality of the butter market, but it
would be a great help to the market
by Riding il of the vast amount OF
wretched stuff which now crowds il and
depresses prices. But the private dairy
man. just the same. has advantage,
which the creamery cannot. from thu
nature OF the business. enjoy.

NEW KINK in COPYRIGHT.
HOW an English Picture Sold to One
Nnn and the Copyright to
Another.

People who concern themselves with
artistic copyright would do well to con-
slider a case that came under my notice
the other day, says a writer in the
London Graphic. \ picture was sold to
a Mr.. a. and the copyright to a Mr..
Il. At the close of the exhibition Of
the Royal Academy the picture was
sent to Mr.. ~, who paid for the pic
ture, and at the same time Mr.. b. paid
for the copyright. After time Mr..
b. applied for the loan of the picture
in order to have ii engraved; but Mr..
a. absolutely declined to lend the
picture on any terms whatever. He ac-
knowledged that he did not possess the
copyright, and said that he did not
want it, but he was not such fool as
to give good round sum for a work of
art in order that he might lend it to
other people. He said he bought it. to
look at. and he was not going 10 have
it taken away from his gallery for q
year in order that other people might
make money out oft. When you come
to think of il. he had good deal of
reason on his side, and yet it was very
hard on the owner of the copyright and
the artist, who would have obtained
considerable publicity from the engrav-
ing. Probably the fault was with the
artist, when selling the picture, in not
rcserving the right of reasonable ac-
ress to the picture for the purpose of
engraving; then the purchaser would
know exactly how he stood,
