The New Yorker contracts In time
what may be called the noise habit.
Noise with him becomes dissipation.
His nervous system demands 1t. This
Is illustrated by the sensations he ex-
periences when he goes into the WOODS
or mountains after "a continuous stay
I'm the city for many months. His nrst
feeling is one of loneliness; something
seems to have suddenly gone out OF his
life. Every tree seems to say, "Why
have you been so hot and noisy, my ilt-
tie sir?' His sensations are somewhat
akin to those of drunkard who has
been under alcoholic stimulation for
long time and suddenly has his drink
taken from him. His whole nervous
system feels the lack OF the Irritation
and stimulation Of the city noise, to
which Il has become accustomed. The
stiffness actually appals and depresses
him.
The streets of New York are deep,
narrow channels, and they are growing
constantly deeper as the buildings in
crease in height. These large reflect
| ing surfaces on three sides OF him
make the condition OF the man In the
| street like that of the workman who

The number four was anciently es-
teemed the most perfect of all, being
the arithmetical mean between one and
seven. Oman, the second caliph, SAID,
"Four things come not back-the spo-
ken word, the sped arrow, the past life,
the neglected opportunity" In nature
there are four seasons, and the -FOUR
points of the compass.
Forty, a multiple of four by ten, Is
one of the sacred numbers. The pro-
baton of our first parents in the garden
of Eden is supposed to have been 40
years. The rain fell at the deluge ~
days and nights. and the water re-
mained on the earth 40 days. The
days of embalming the dead were 40.
Solomon's temple was 40 cubits long
In II were ten LAYERS, each four cubits
| long and containing 40 baths.
Moses was 40 years old when he fled
into the land of indian, where he
dwelt 40 years. He was on Mount
Sinai 40 days and 40 nights. The Is
raelites wandered in the wilderness 40
years. The Saviour tasted 40 days ana
nights before entering upon public lie.
The same time elapsed between the
resurrection and the ascension.

VIII IL Hatch 'um.

It seems an Eastern man has dis
covered a new way of incubating
eggs. The plan is to utilize the heat
of the bees to do the work. The plan
deserves more than our passing notice
because if it will work, it will be far
ahead of the common incubator or
the natural hen. Surely the heat OF
a bee hive is the same as that requir-
ed to hatch eggs. The eggs must be
placed in some soft material on the
frames over the colony and covered
sufficient to retain the heat. We
have had much trouble in getting
early chickens Matched, our hens be-
ing white and barred Plymouth Rock,
they can't be coaxed to set early in
the season consequently we have no
early pullets for winter layers. We
shall give the bees 'whack" at the
eggs another Spring, and If 1t won't
work we will know the reason why

HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.


Again the Michigan apple crop is
to be away below the stand
ard in quality and quantity. From
other states, too, comes similar tale.
These stories of failure have been re-
lated SO regularly of late years that
the public is forced to the conclusion
that Americas great apple industry
is going into a decline. A radical
remedy seems necessary, one that will
revive the orchards, conquer pomo-
logical diseases, and Danish blighting
parasites. Strenuous agitation seems
TO be the first step necessary toward
effecting a cure. The farmers and
fruit growers must arouse themselves
to the necessity of paying more at
tention to their orchards and of or
ganizing their forces. 1t is useless
for the government agricultural de-
partment to find remedies for blights,
and to devise means to strengthen
and revive worn-out orchards unless
the producers do their share. The
department is the doctor, but the
farmer must be the nurse.
If all the agriculturists of western
Michigan would devote little time
this fall or winter, after the seasons
rush is over, to finding out just what
practical remedies have been dis
covered for sick apple trees and de-
clining orchards, the crop report of a
year or two hence might be radically
different from that sent out now. A
letter to the agricultural department
at Washington and another sent To
the Agricultural college at Lansing
would result in a supply of apple lit
erature, from which useful hints and
suggestions could be secured. Many
successful genealogical experiments
have been made by these.institutions
and reports of their results can be-
had for the asking. Organization
however, is necessary, before the
best possible results can be obtained
If one farmer gets his orchard back
into healthy condition and his neigh

labor of the former is doubled ant

eases are contagious and organization

Purple RnspberrYs.

There is no doubt if the purple va
rieties of raspberries were better
known they would be much more
grown and used they have so many
commenting qualities. 1t seems as
though people are missing a great
deal by not finding them out sooner.
The fact is, no new fruit that is so
meritious ever came into popularity
so slow. They were introduced to the
public properly and honestly, yet
they are looked upon with suspicion
and mistrust.
But believe the time will come
when people will take more kindly to
them, and they will take the place
where they belong as home use anc
home market fruit. There is none OF
the raspberry family that have the
quality of holding their flavor so wei
when canned. While they are
cross between the red and the black
their flavor is quite peculiarly thai
of the red; their habit of growth be
ing that of the blackcap. They lacl
the obnoxious feature of suckering.
There are two varieties that are
worth special mention, Shaffer anC
Columbian. The latter we conside
the best of the two as they are hard.
and the Shaffer is sometimes a little
tender in wood. If given lots of room
the Columbian will grow to mammoth
proportions and fruit in proportion.
