Easter Day, 10 always the first
Sunday after the full moon WHICH
happens upon or next after the
2lst day OF March; and il the full
moon falls on a Sunday, Easter
Day is the Sunday after. This is
the rule for calculating Easter.
The full moon retired to is not,
however, the actual moon in the
heavens, but an imaginary moon,
whose periods are so couirived
that the new lcaleudar1 moon al
ways follows the real new moon,
sometimes By two or three days.
Easter Day, therefore, cannot
possibly fall in the mouth Of Feb
ruary, because by the above rule,
il cannot come either earlier than
the I'D Of March, nor later then
the 18th of April. Ii very sci.
dom happens on these days. hard
ly once IN . century. Ii fell on
the I'D March in 1918.

Then the men took their big iron

member Of the Alpine Club mentions
the following instance, which might
have had serious results:
He was climbing one of the Alps
with guide, who persisted in talking
bad English instead of Indifferent
French. ..s ...
"My guide" he says, "had just
crossed a snow bridge over a wide
crevasse, and turned to await me on
the farther side. l asked him If 1t
was weak. He answered No strong.
Naturally attempted to walk
across it instead of crawling I had
almost reached the other side when
the bridge gave way, and, after de-
lirious scramble to save myself, sub
sided helplessly into the crevasse.
However, I did not go far, and
when had crawled out, with snow
down my neck and up my arms and
in all my pockets, discovered that
my friend had meant Not strong l

English henceforth for use In the val

I1Iinoi. Apple Orchards.


Emerson Babcock gives Green's
Fruit Grower information in regard to
orcharding in Illinois as follows: An
apple orchard syndicate in Clay and
Richland Counties has sold the apples
of it's orchards, which aggregate three
hundred and twenty acres, for $11, 500.
This fruit is from young orchards just
coming Into bearing. There are one
hundred and twenty acres planted with
$500 Jonathan apple trees. Jonathan
is highly priced for Its hardness, pro-
ductiveness and the fine quality Of it's
fruit The best apple orchards of ILL
nois are on the southern border, en-
bracing seventy-fve thousand acres of
apple orchards, mostly planted during
the past ten or twelve years. This is
the first general crop from these ORCH
ards. One thousand acres Of apple
orchards may be seen near Flora, ILL.,,
and the trees there are heavily laden
with fine fruit this season. Ben Da-
Wis is the variety, most largely grown.
The problem now is to get enough Ia
borers to harvest the fruit from such a
vast acreage Of apple orchards, and to
secure apple barrels for such big orch
ards. Three hundred and thirty car
loads of empty apple barrels have re-
Gently been shipped into this locality,
and nine large evaporators have been
built near Flora, with a capacity for
each of one hundred and fifty bush
els of fruit per day. A cold storage
house, with a capacity of $4,000 bar
rels of apples, has been built at Flora
this year. -

What the Fairies Did.

Stargleam and Moonbeam were very
busy over their work when Bogmyrtle,
the Brownie, suddenly stood in front of
them and said: 81 know what would

What would you do?" inquired both
fairies together.
"WeI, I would just go with Bog
myrtle, and have game of hide-and-
seek among the flowers" said the
Brownie.
'Oh, dear! oh, dearv' sighed Star
gleam, ''it would be nice if we could!"
But It's no use-we can't" said
Moonbeam, for we have got all these
pocket handkerchiefs to wash and iron
before we can do as we like. Oh, dear!
oh, dearv'
THAT difficulty can soon be over
come" said Bogmyrtle, ''if you will
take mySadvice. There is q little girl
called Kathleen at the house over there
and she is havinga washing-day, and
washing all her dollies' clothes; SO if
you were to take those pocket handker-

Where It is the custom to keep the
horses and cows In the stables at night,
and also for a portion of the day some
provision should be made for shade as
well as for keeping out flies. The plan
shown In the illustration has the merit
of being simple as well as effectual.
Cover the opening with fine wire net
ting, placing it so that it will not inter-
fere with the management Of the glass
window from the inside. Then make
frame with light strips of lumber of
the form shown, and cover it with can
lin, bracing it at either corner as
shown. This device is readily made
and will add greatly to the comfort
Of the animals in the stable. The
