Raise Your own Fruf+.

Much land is not well adapted to
fruit trees, and crops other than
fruit trees may be more profitable
for market, but all summer and fall
fruit should usually be grown on the
farm, anyway. The home should
have an abundance of apples for use
until winter apples are ready. and
there is no better way of GETTING
good varieties than by grating
Trees should be planted where w.nf-
ed, and then get scions from trees
in the neighborhood if there are va
rieties that please. Then it makes
no difference whether one has the
name correct or not.

tive how can we begin in better
manner to stop the useless slaughter
of the big antlered brutes than by re-
fusing to wear their tusks as insignia
of our organization? Every pair Of
teeth worn by an elk represents the.
killing of a dumb brute that by many
is considered to be next to the moose.
in claim for sovereignty of the for
ests. Market hunters know the value
-intrinsically the insignificant enam-
eled teeth are worth about as much as
pair of smooth pebbles picked out of
mountain brook - of these tusks
when sold to jewelers. who mount them
in gold foundations, engrave B. B. O.
e. on them, and sell them to members
of the order for various sums, ranging
from five dollars to $50. Several years
ago, when the craze for emblems first
struck the members of our organiza-
ton, a great many wapiti tusks were
shipped into the large cities from the
far west and Canada. These teeth
were gathered from old hunters and

market, and some really fine emblems
were made from the teeth when they
were neatly mounted The order has
grown wonderfully is especially
strong among the theatrical and base
ball men-and elk had to be killed
to supply the increasing demand. To
shoot big elk, tear out his tusks
and leave his carcass to decompose in
the forest glade, does not strike any
one as especially elevating-it savors
OF the old days when the plainsmen
used to shoot down hundreds of bison,
simply cutting out the animals tongues
for broiling over fires Of buffalo
chips and grass. The enemy of all
sportsmen-the pot hunter or market
slaughterer-will wantonly kill more
elk in season-and he is not particu-
lar about the time of the year that
he operates either-than all of the
city and country sportsmen would bag
in lifetime of hunting.
eff every member of the organiza-
ton would help the elk by refusing to
wear the tusks-he might compromise
by accepting artificial teeth-and de-
mand gold or silver set of antlers,
a great good would be done for an
animal that is a king of forest game"

FAMOUS OLD HIGHWAY.
Road, Constructed Near-
ly One Hundred Years Ago,
Still in Fair Condition,

The most remarkable highway built
in the United States early in the cen
fury was the so-called Cumberland
road, which was to extend from Cum
berland, Md, through southwestern
Pennsylvania, over the Allegheny
mountains to the Ohio at Wheeling,
w. Va, and then on to ST. Louis. 1t
was so we'll constructed that it is a
good road to-day. Henry Clay was its
protector and chief supporter, and his
services in it's behalf are commemorate
ed by monument near Wheeling. We
are told by letters written at that
period that there were sometimes &C
gayly-painted four-horse coaches each
way daily. The cattle and sheep were
never out of sight, and canvas-covered
wagons were drawn by six or twelve
horses"
On this great road, which eventually
passed into the hands of the states
through which it runs, the government
expended no less a sum than 81 900 900.
Within a mile of it on either side the
country was wilderness, but on the
highway itself the traffic was as dense
as IN the main street of large town.
Ten miles an hour was the usual speed
Tor coaches. From Baltimore to Wheel
ing ran lines of freight wagons which
carried ten tons, drawn by IL horses,
and with wheels ten feet in diameter.
When Charles Dickens visited Amer.
lea in 1912, he travelled by stage coach
from Cleveland to sandusky, o. De-
scribing his experience, he wrote:
AT one time we were all thrown to.
gether in heap at the bottom of the
coach, and at another we were crush
ing our heads against the roof. Now
the coach was lying on the tails of the
two wheelers, and now it was rearing
up in the air. The driver, who GER
tainly got over the ground in a man
ner quite miraculous, so twisted and
turned the team, in forcing a passage
corkscrew fashion through the boys
and swamps, that it was a common
circumstance, on looking out of the
window, to see the coachman with the
ends of pair of reins in his hands,
apparently driving nothing, and the
leaders staring unexpected at one
from the back of the coach, as if they
had some idea of getting upbehind. A
great portion of the way was over
what is called "a corduroy road,' which
is made by throwing trunks of trees
into marsh and leaving them to set
tie there. The very slightest of the
jolts with which the ponderous car
'iage fell from log to log was enough,
it seemed, to have dislocated all the
bones in the human body. 1t would
be impossible to experience similar
set of sensations in any other circum-
stances, unless perhaps in attempting
to go up to the top of St. Paul's in an
the condition of our country roads,
generally speaking, as they were rs
years ago, except in few wealthy
communities. There has been won
lerfui change since then.-Pearson's

FOREST PROTECTION.
Passed Law Which All Other
States Should Copy.

Through Senator Minch, our coun-
Gil has succeeded in getting law
passed by the New Jersey legisla-
ture, on forest fires. A law that we
urge all good citizens to understand
and sustain.
Friends of forests in other states
may do well to seek similar legisla-
ton in their respective common
wealths. Animal and plant life and
health are SO dependent on forest
conditions, as influencing climate,
that forestry is an interstate ques-
ton. 1t is also such question in
and for navigation. For SRI Prevention sc efftifa
of floods and the regulation of rain
fall. The rainfall section of it alone
is one of many millions year to
any one of the United States. If
rain comes at the right time farm
er may clear say 5000 year more
than If not so coming. Every 10000
such farmers in that state have So
100000 annually at stake. Similar
figures apply to climate respecting
sickness. A citizen of a town, as
well as farmer, may lose $500 by
sickness that would be prevented by
wise forest regulation. Forest foil
age is the chief protection from ma
larial enemies in the air; and the
great dispenser of healthful oxygen.
Forests are the main and practical
ly the only regulation of rainfall.
Fire is the greatest of the MANY
enemies to the forest. The person.
or the corporation, starting such
fire should suffer severe penalties.
To this end our forest council has
secured the passage of the law re-
ferred to. We believe it to be one
OF the best ever enacted for this
purpose. 1t will repay citizens to
understand this law and sustain it.
The great work for good citizens.
under it, is to secure investigation OF
forest fires, and see that each town
ship committee selects fire marshal.
Local civil engineers are often the
best men for marshals.
Citizens of other states not hav-
ing good laws protecting from for
est fires should demand similar ac.
ton to that of New Jersey from
their respective legislatures, and then
sustain the same. Forest fires are
usually of far more damage than
they are assessed for.-George May
Powell, President New Jersey Forest
Council

means over SIG for every man, woman
