In his memorial to the Throne Chang Pc

as officers in the said Warren Chapter and
disqualified them as members therein, it

the chapter still in existence and in pro-

LITTLE LAND NEEDED.
Gardeners Make n Mistake when
They Try to Cultivate Too
Large II Tract.

Persons engaged in various indus
trial occupations often grow tired of
them, and long to be gardeners and
fruit growers in the country. One of
the commonest mistakes is IN regard
to the quantity of land required.
What they~have in their minds prob
ably mine times out of ten, is "buying
a farm" But large amount of land
is not needed by the amateur horti-
culturist. In general farming, when
land is to be devoted not only to till
age, but to meadows, pasture and
woodland it is different. Yet the ma
jority of farmers have more land than
they can possibly manage to the best
advantage. Leaving out of the ques-
ton commercial gardening and or
charding on big scale by capitalists
who use machinery and a large force
of hired help, the best results from the
kitchen and fruit garden are obtained
from small areas intensively Guilt
waited. Your pair of hands must be de-
pended upon mainly to do the work;
the garden may often be expanded be-
You'd the proper limit.
1t is easy for gardener to plant
much more in the spring than he can
possibly well care for during the sum-
mer Amateurs are often tempted to
plant too much. 1t is not true that if
small garden, carefully cultivated,
pays well, one several times it's size,
indifferently cared for, will be pro-
portionately profitable. Small fruits
are very exacting, and one person can
care only for limited areas as they
should be cared for. There is moth
ing in their restrictions and limita-
tions deterrent to any one DESTROYS of
engaging in horticultural pursuits. A
small amount of land can be obtained
in the country for small outlay. One
can cultivate just such an area as his
physical strength permits, making
every inch of it equal to the finest gar
den, with profit and satisfaction.-S.

EPIGRAMS.

Live merchants are a reproof to an

Advertising in the local paper in
duces home patronage.
The most successful merchants are
the most persistent advertisers.
The local newspaper is the telescope

Two agencies for enterprise are the

Advertising is to business what sea-
soning is to food-it encourages
healthy conditions.
When business is poor, advertise to
make it good; when business is good.
advertise to keep it good.
The best evidence of business resuS-
citation is the discarding of the habila-
ments of dead methods of advertising.
If the merchant will let the people
know what kind of stock he keeps, the
people will let him know the color OF
their money.

APPLE SCAB FUNGUS.
1T Is Said to Be One of the Most De-
Dtructive Pests That Comes
Into Orchards.

Very few except scientists recog-
nize that apple scab is one of the most
destructive pests that comes into the
orchard of the apple grower. The
cooling moth is supposed to be far
more destructive, but such is not the
case. Great precautions are taken
against the said moth, but little or
none against the apple scab fungus
When picker takes an apple from
limb and finds the scab on it he
gives it not another thought, for that
is apparently only blemish. He
imagines that he sees on the apple all
the result there is, and he considers
it not worth Investigating. In fact,
this scab does most of its damage to
the foliage, and what appears on the
apples is merely its secondary work.
By the work of this fungus the en-
tire tree is weakened and the apple
crop is cut short year after year. In
addition to the fruit being smaller
than Vt should be the apples fall early
as the tree is too much weakened
to nourish them sufficiently to in
duce them to hang on. 1t seems that
an apple hangs on just as long as it
is receiving nourishment. When
nourishment is cut off the apple auto
matically detaches itself and falls.
Anything that causes check to this
supply of nourishment leads to the
fall of the apple. The apple scab
fungus, by sapping the strength of the
tree, brings about this result. An
other indication of the presence of the
fungus is the fall of the leaves before
the natural time. This is brought
about in the same way as is the fall
of the apple. The nourishment ceases
going to the leaves and the stem be-
gins to detach itself from the tree.
Thus long before the other trees have
dropped their leaves the tree that is
badly affected by the fungus named
is bare.
When a tree is badly affected it
takes more than one year to bring it
back to normal condition of fruit
fu1ness. Thus, if tree has the dis
ease this year, the crop next year is
sure to be small, for the reason that
fruit buds are formed more than a
year ahead of the time of their fruit
fulness. If the tree is scabby this
year the buds will be poorly developed
or not developed at all. No matter
how good it's condition next year it
will not, in a single season, develop
buds and bear fruits on those buds.
Spraying is the only remedy, and that
must be continued for a number of
