And then she began to speak buried

Our reception by Don Miguel was not

tions with him in the past it was per-
haps hardly TO be expected that he
would be overjoyed to see US again.
Our rescue of IneZ from the hands OF

Inez encouraged our visits we took

Inez and | had many long walks to-
gether through the beautiful country

Alec always insisted on marching some

This is the life Of the soldier, you dream,

Visions of little ones leaning with lips
Just to be kissed through the dream and desire
Sweetheart and home hearts and love by the fire
This is the life of soldier, to fare
Far from the tenderness waiting him there.
Mourn on the march and the war drums ahead,
Beating the call to the battle, the tread
OF legions gone down in the ranks in the van.
On to the front, file by file, man by man!
Soldier, so valiant. SO brave and so true,
Honor and glory to yours and to you'll
Noon on the field and the battles fierce heat
Flamed to the faces unfaltered that meet
Death in the fash Of the shot and the shell.
The crash of the cannon, the red, roaring hell;
Still meath the folds OF the dag doth he fight,
True to his country and true to the right

Under the shadow and grief Of the skies!
Night in the hamlets where broken hearts wait
In vain for the heroes that fought against fatel

into two definite classes, the self ster-
lie and the self fertile. The best that
can be done is to give list of those
varieties which tend to be more or less
self sterile and which it would be un-
safe TO plant alone.
Following is a conservative list of
these risky varieties drawn both from
experimental work and from the re-
ports of over 500 fruit growers: Pears
Angouleme Duchess), Bartlett, Clapp,
Idaho, Kieffer and Nelis. Apples
Bellf1ower, Primate, Spitzenburg, Will
low Twig and Winesap. Plums-Coe
Golden Drop, French Prune, Italian
Prune, Kelsey, Mariana, Miner, Ogon,
Peach, Satsuma, Wild Goose and, ac-
cording to Waugh and Kerr, all other
varieties of native plums except Rob-
inson. Peach-Susquehann Apricot
White Nicholas. Cherries-Napoleon,
Belle de Choisy and Refine Hortense.
Most of these varieties are self fertile
in some places, bnt the weight Of evil
dence shows them to be uncertain.
1t must not be inferred that all other
varieties are always able to set fruit
when planted alone. There are some,
however, which have exceptionally
good records for fruitfulness when
planted in solid blocks, other condi-
tions being favorable. Among these
are: Apples-Baldwin, Ben Davis, Fal-
lawater, Janet, Oldenburg, Rhode Is
land Greening, Red Astrakhan and
Smith Cider Plums-Burbank, Brad
shaw, DeSoto, Green Gage, Lombard,
Robinson and some of the common
blue Damsons.
The foregoing statements are made
by Professor Fletcher of Cornell in dis
cussing pollination of orchards in a
bulletin QS1) which will find its great
est usefulness among commercial fruit
growers. Professor Fletcher further
says: Let us suppose we intend to plant
a large block of an uncertain variety
such as Kieffer. There are two points
to be considered when selecting a pol
lenizer for Kieffer or any other self
sterile variety. These are simultaneous
blooming and mutual affinity. Com
mon orchard practice has shown that
the European pears, as Bartlett and
the sand pear hybrids, as Kieffer, will
fertilize each other regularly when
they bloom together.
Some varieties will not fertiliZe each
other, though blossoming at the same
time. Kerr has found that Whitaker
plum will not fertilize Wild Goose, nor
