reason we do not have figs "as we
used to" is because we are not plant
ing fig trees las we used to-
have been tree planter ever since
/ owned a piece of land wherein to
plant tree, and / have found no un-
surmountable difficulty in growing fig
trees.
Figs do not require as much atten-
ton as other fruit trees; still they
replanting of trees, whether old OF
young, that do not do well, will keep
up an ochard of acclimated trees OF
any kind.
Some years since in company
with other County Commissioners ]
visited the late Mr.. John Tay-
lor's place near this city. He had a
fine orchard, principally of pears. A
fellow commissioner, who was an old
planter, asked Mr.. Taylor how it was
that he had such fine fruit trees; that
he had planted orchards all his life,
but the trees were always dying. Mr..
Taylor replied that it was very easy
to keep up an orchard, and the gem
tleman said he would be greatly obliged
If he would let him into the secret. All
present cooked their ears to get the
information, and it was given in a few
words by Mr.. Taylor, who said that
when a tree died, or did not do we'll,
he dug it up and planted another. That
is undoubtedly the secret of how to
have good orchard.
There is no easier cultivated and
cared for fruit bearing tree than the
fig, and there is not more delicious
and healthy fruit. Any one who has
yard 10x10 feet can have at least
one fig tree. In this latitude it takes
an exceptionally cold winter to kill a
fig tree. A fence or building to the
north, northeast or northwest affords
1t great protection in winter, and. even
If 1t is killed, its roots will remain
alive. and, in the next or another year,
it will be bearing tree again.
There are three ways of securing a
bearing fig tree. namely, by cuttings,
suckers, or a young tree, and which
ever is planted should be protected
from the cold wind in winter, and
the hot sun in summer, during the
first year.
A young fig tree is the best to plant,
and can be set out from the first of
November to the first of April, but
November or April is the best month.
The tree will grow almost without Gull
tivation, but it will grow better and
produce better If it is given the same
attention in planting and cultivation
that you would rose bush.
Cuttings, as a rule, are better than
suckers. 1 have known tree
from a cutting to bear fruit within
year Of its planting. Almost
any one who has a fig tree will give
cutting or sucker for the asking
cutting is a branch of this years
growth with three or more inches of
older wood on it; the older wood makes
the roots. Cuttings should be taken
from the tree in February and planted
about a foot apart. Mr.. Gugie Bour-
quin, gentleman who has had great
experience with figs, informs me that
cuttings may be taken from the tree in
August after the first crop. l usually
plant near a fence and then drive
stakes, or stretch a piece of wire net
ting in front to protect them. The
cuttings can be set out the next fall,
or the spring following.
There is an idea that fruit trees to

Columbia, S. c., and has returned there
to do primary work with kindergarten
principles in graded school in a large
mill district just outside of Columbia.
Mrs. Watt is general kindergarten
assistant. She is at present with Miss
Elliott at the Philbrick, the pay kinder
garten of the system. Mrs. Watt also
occupies the position of secretary to
Miss Backus
A room has been attractively fur
nished in the second story of the Phil
brick kindergarten where Miss Cassie
Rembert is in charge of the primary
department, which has been added this
year. In addition to her kindergarten
course she has had special training the
past summer under the direction of
Misses Winchester and Rumyon. The
latter is one of the teachers at DR.
John Deweys elementary school in
I Chicago. Miss Rembert will cover the
ground that the first grade of the pub
lie school does, besides giving physical
culture, hand work, music and ele-
mentary art work. The number is linn
tied because she will not ac-
cept more than can be we'll cared

Miss Anna II. Pritehard, who gradu-

kindergarten at No. 1920 Whitaker

twenty-three pupils. almost the limit
OF the number she can accommodate.
She is an earnest worker and with her
energy and ambition is sure to accom-
plish fine results. A visit to her
lovely, large, sunny room, which is
most attractively fitted up and a glance
at the happy little faces around the
circle, will convince one of the excel
lent quality of the work that Miss
Pritchard is doing.
Miss Pritchard has been engaged by
the Sunday-school of st. Johns Epis-
copal Church to be the principal of the
Kindergarten Sunday-school that will
be opened the first Sunday in Novem-
Der
Miss Pritchard is to plan the work
done by every group and arrange the
exercises for the children collectively.
Her programme will be based on the
early life of Christ, which she will
make the study of much study under
the direction of Rev. Charles H.
Strong. This is a step in a new di-
rection in the South, but has proven a
wise plan In many churches, always
provided that it is under the guidance
of thoroughly-train kindergartener.
