In the Apple Orchard.

Apples should be gathered as soon as
ripe, and the surplus and inferior spec
linens should not be left upon the
ground to rot, invite vermin or breed
insects, but picked up and fed to stock
or otherwise disposed of. By doing this
the apple worm may be greatly dimin-
ished. Bands of carpet, bagging, or
other fabric fastened around the trunks
Of the trees with a single long tack will
catch many Of the apple worms after
they leave the fruit to undergo the last

them weekly and kill all worms and
pupa that are found.-Rural World.

Life Insurance in Vermont.

The Insurance Press tables show
the gross distribution of $273,590,-
S76 by American life insurance com
panies during the year 1900. OF that
sum about $45, 100000 was paid to
policy holders in dividends or for the
purchase of surrendered policies. The
Insurance Press is unable to appor-
ton the vast sum by localities, but it
is able to distribute $197,831,S11 of
the grand total among cities and
town in the United States and Can
ada. By the tables it appears that
1877 cities received more than $780,
900 each, from the hand of life in
surance during 1900.
In Vermont 81 ,226,9 was distri-
buted. Ofthis amount $26,331 came
to Bellows Falls and $4,000 to
Brattleboro.
Claims OF $40, 900 or more reported
are Bellows Falls, Edward Arms,
$10,331; Cambridge, Reuben Brush,
$4,000 Norfolk, John l.. Thompson,
$4,000; North Pownal, Marcus

British Coronets.

This next year ought to be a
splendid time for all the best jew
elers IN England and Paris, as coro-
nets must be cleaned and rearrang-
ed, if old ones, and new ones must
be built and decorated, says writer
in an English magazine.
1t is common but erroneous idea
that none but dukes and duchesses
have the famous strawberry leaves
as the garland of their coronets. In
truth, the great glory lies in the
fact that they have the right to wear
eight golden strawberry leaves, while
a marquis or marchioness can only
have four and four silver balls alter
nately. An earls or countess
coronet also carries the mystic To-
liage.

According to a careful computation
by j. Holt Schooling, a statistician,
there will be only standing room on
earth when the year 2 $50 comes. In
$50 years more the density of the
earth's population will have only two
thirds of an acre. That space, fifty
five and one-half yards square, will
have to suffice for all purposes-agri-
culture, roads, houses, parks, rail
ways, and so on. Mr.. Schooling will
say in an article in the Cosmopolitan
for July that when the globes popu-
lation reaches this density, which is
about one thousand persons to the
mile, the earth will be, in his opinion,
full.
Mr.. Schooling reaches his conclusion
by careful analysis of the growth of
population in the nineteenth century,
and upon that basis computes the
population OF the earth in the year
$3.50.
Mr.. Schooling estimates the popu-
lation of the earth now at l 100000
900 and 2250 at 52,O73 100000.
What will become of prosperity in
2300 is a problem that he does not
attempt to solve. Our advice is for
the present generation not to worry
unnecessarily.

"The League has just paid for and

More Apple figures.

Some weeks ago the Vermont Ex-
pertinent Station was responsible for
the circulation of some figures show
ing profits made in apple growing.
Briefly, these figures showed that
Mrs. Laura E. Allen of South Hero,
VT, had cleared 500 an acre from
fourteen acres of orchard in 1899,
and that the crop of 1900 brought a
net profit of $183 an acre.
These figures seem not to have been
satisfactory to an inquiring and cap
tious public. Some persons who know
nothing about the apple business
thought it was fish story pure and
simple, -others who are growing
apples themselves protested that they
had done better, and that the case
therefore had been unfairly presented.
Several communications were receiv-
ed on the subject by the horticultur-
list of the Experiment Station, who is
now happy to add the following sta
tistics to those already published:
Mr.. Lucian Allen, also of South
Hero, has 300 bearing apple trees,
covering between five and six acres
of land. From these he sold in New
York 257 barrels of the crop of 1900,
for which he received a gross return
of $S75.25, or an average price OF
So 40 a barrel. Freight, carriage and
commissions ate up STA Is of this
sum, leaving net cash return OF
$700.50. These figures are taken di-
rectly from the returns of the commits
sion man, land the commission man
seldom returns more money than
the fruit brings.) Ia addition to the
$500. 50receivedf for apples sold in New
York, Mr.. Allen sold a considerable
quantity at home from which herealiz'
ed an additional $19S so. This
makes a total of $500. for the years
crop, or $3.50 to $3.50 an acre.
Another Vermont apple grower,
who objects to having his name used
but whose accounts have been ex'
amined and found correct, has made
still more remarkable sales. Last
year his total sales mot nett were
$3.50 % from 10Y acres. One
single block of trees, covering Az
acres gave a net return of 81 ,272, Oh
over 1882 an acre clear profit on the
farming. The figures from this or
chard are not now available for pre-
vious crops; but to the writer's per
sonal and disinterested knowledge
the returns have been almost equally
good-sometimes full better-every
year for several years past. During
at least ten years there has not beer
a single crop failure in this orchard
And there are plenty more figures
like these.

The Fire Question.


From now until late autumn the
chronicling of forest fires will be an
almost daily occurrence. What this
means the forester, the lumberman,
the owner of timber lands and the
lover of forests fully appreciates.
With these reports of forest fires
will come cries from many quarters
for fire legislation, and theories with
out number for the prevention OF
fires will be advanced. Candidly the
fire question has been carefully
studied by the most competent ex-
perts in the country and there is
neither a lack of knowledge of fires
and their origin, nor laws for the
punishment of those responsible for
them.
There appears two, effective
though not original-ways of con-
trolling this ever recurring, and
greatest enemy of our forests. The
first is a proper enforcement of the
existing fire laws; for on the statute
books OF nearly every state in the
Union will be found laws that if prop
erly enforced would go a great way
toward lessening the number of fires.
The second is to educate the public
mind to proper appreciation of the
value OF forests and what a formid-
able and destructive enemy fire is to
them.
In most cases the origin of a forest
fire is not hard to determine. Sparks
from a passing locomotive, careless
ness on the part of farmers and set
tiers, in clearing land and burning
brush, allowing the sparks and flames
to escape to the woods; a half burned
match or lighted cigar dropped while
walking through the woods; the neg
lected campfire of the hunter or
camper; the burning over OF lands
by cattle and sheep owners to secure
good pasture for the next season, or
the vandal who set fire to the woods
for revenge; all these are well-known
causes of forest fires and in fact re-
sponsible for nearly all of such con-
| fagrations.
Aside from the destruction of ma
ture timber, and the killing of young
growth, forest fires frequently men,
ace human life. To show what havoc
may be wrought by these fires it is
only necessary to recall several nota-
BILE fires. The Miramichi fire in New
Brunswick, which burned over an
area of 100000 acres, caused a
loss of over 500 buildings and $50
lives. In 1871 Peshtigo, Wis, was
destroyed by forest fire, 1900
square miles of territory we're burned
over and between 1900 and
1900 people persisted in the
flames. A more recent disaster OF
this kind was the Hinckley, Mimi,
fire of 1894 in which 500 lives were
lost and more than $26,000,00O
worth of property destroyed. These
are only few OF the worst cases.
Let those charged with the
administration of the laws see that
they are rigidly enforced. A few
years of such rule will impress the
careless hunter or maliciOusly in
clined persons, and fires will grow
much less frequent. Meantime let
the friends of our forests continue to
to teach the individual a true appre.
citation of their value to the commu
nifty and there will be less necessity
for the laws. When the public is
thoroughly aroused to the impor
lance of forests there will be aroused
a public spirit in favor of their pre-
servation that will in itself be ample
protection.

Preserving Peace.

King Edward VII has set the pace,

The End of a STAGE Fiuht.

Mr.. Lyall Swete is a young Eng
hsh actor, but his exceptional
height proved on a certain occasion
he is not likely to forget rather a
disadvantage. 1t was during his
apprenticeship to the stage, when
he was playing a villain in a melo-
drama, says London Answers.
The company gave a show in til
ny theater with particularly mar
row stage. The pit and gallery were
crowded, but only one quiet little
old gentleman was to be seen in the
stalls. Mr.. Swete made his first en-
trance hurriedly and had his hat
knocked off by the front sky border.
The stage manager, after consoling
him, added: "Work up the fight in
the last act. 1t ought to get three
calls at least"
Mr.. Swete worked it up, and when
the hero knocked him down he did

They Struck Oil.

Some time ago men drilling for
oil in Ohio sent a number of nitro
glycerin shells into the hole, one of
which exploded when it reached a
depth of rs feet. There was ire
mendous gush of oil, the flow being
so strong that the derrick was del
uged from top to bottom. Appar-
emily here was the biggest well in
the history of the oil business, and
the firm which was doing the drill
ing naturally exulted at the pros
pect of a fortune.
But their JOY was short lived. The
Buckeye Pipe Line company's eight
inch pipe, through which 5000 bar
rels of oil pass each day, suddenly
shut down. An investigation was
started, and before many hours it
was found that the new well had
been drilled close to the pipe, which
had been broken by the explosion,
and the oil, which seemed to come
from the well, really came from
the pipe hne. This ended the ca
reer of a great spouter."
