The peach is one of the best fruits.
yet it is very difficult to grow fine
peaches. When was a small boy my
father had about 300 peach trees on his
farm, and the fifth year they began to
die and in three more years they were
all dead but five, and they looked sick
ly. l took all rocks from a potato
patch and piled them around one Of
those peach trees, when it became
thrifty and bore fine fruit for twenty
years. Now we cultivate our peach Or
chard until the trees are four and five
years old, and then we make rock
pile around them, placing the rocks
carefully as not to injure the bark,
and we always have fine, healthy trees
and good fruit. 1 don't know whether
the rock would have the same effect
on different soils, but we think it
would.-A. N Horn, in The Epitomist.

The Salmon.

Whether We consider beauty of form
and color, gaminess, food quality or
abundance and size of individuals, diff
ferent members OF this group stand
easily with the first among fishes.
The Salmonidoe are confined to the
northern hemisphere, and north of 40
degrees they are everywhere abundant
where suitable waters are found. In
North America alone not fewer than
sixty-two species and sub-species are
now recognized by ichthyologists.
Some of the species, especially the
larger ones, are marine and anadro-
nous, living and growing in the sea,
and entering fresh water only to
spawn. Such are the five species OF
salmon of the west coast of America.
Still others live in the small rivers and
running brooks, entering lakes or the
sea as occasion serves, but not habit
ually doing so. Such are some of the
species of trout of the genera Salmo
and Salvelinus. Others, again, are
lake fishes, approaching the shore or
entering brooks in the spawning sea-
son. at other times retiring to deeper
waters. or these are the whitefishes
and nerrings of the Great Lakes and

Salmon, by Barton w. Evermann, in

Miracles happen every day. Once

the use of the injured limb. But the
accident did not cure him of his evil
habit, and with one leg in the air he
continued to annoy passing drivers.
Finally horse kicked him on his left
fore leg, breaking the bone below the
knee. When this was put in splints he
had remaining only right fore leg and
a left hind leg for locomotion. Then
came the miracle! Being deprived of
his left fore leg he suddenly discov-
cred that the long inactive right hind
leg was as good as ever, and forthwith

In time the left fore leg healed, and to-

legs, and is the pet of the neighbor-
hood.-New York Press.

WISE WORDS.

A teacher is not a taskmaster.
Good things always grieve bad men,
The man who thinks leads the crowd.
An iron key may open a golden door.
Some men are born with the brakes
set.
Heroes never see themselves in the
glass.
Deep digging must so before high
building.
The love is not faultless that falters
at fault.
The stream of life rises not above
its source.
Culture is not character, out charac-
ter is culture.
Logic will not illumine until it is on
fire with love.
You cannot estimate mans message
by the size of his mouth.
The heart within to resist evil is
better than fence without.
The only thing that comes to the
man who waits is the dust from the
professions.
The problem is not to get an educa.
tion out Of politics so much as to get
education into the politicians.-Ram's S

Statues of Queens.

There are three queens commemor.
ated by statues in the city of London
Victoria, Anne and Elizabeth-though
most Londoners would be puzzled to
find the efiigy the last named. Anne
is left untouched in her lonely splen-
dor in st. Paul's churchyard, says the
London Chronicle The figure of our
late queen at Temple Bar is being
cleaned by the corporation, as is also
that of her son and successor at the
same place, and it is to be regretted
that, while their loyalty leads them to
brighten the obstructive column which
bears these statues, it is not strong
enough to inspire them to remove that
beast that never grew Tor that bird
that never few which crowns it. 1t is.
however, sad that at the church Of st.
Dunstan's in the west, only a few yards
off, the greed of seat letters will pro-
vent the king from seeing the fine old
effigy of one of the most famous of his
famous predecessors, great Elizabeth.
Probably Edward VII. will regret
that three-guinea seat blocks his
view of the sister of Edward vi.

The blackberry patch is often a
source of disappointment to those who
do not understand the nature of the
plant. The average BEGINNER consid-
ers it very important to encourage the
growth OF as many new canes as possi-

ing. This tends to weaken the parent
roots at the expense of the fruit. Only
few new canes should be allowed
to grow to each new plant during the
season. Select those most thrifty in
appearance and cut all the rest out.
When they become weakened from
lack of pruning or cultivation apply a
top dressing of well rotted hen manure
or hardwood ashes. Cultivate If loca-

Benefits of Thinning Fruits.

The benefits derived from thinning
fruits may be briefly summarized as
follows:
First-Thinning preserves the vitality
of the tree by lessening the production
Of seed.
Second - Thinning if Systematically
and persistently done, will cause the
tree to bear crops more regularly. Off,
years are in most cases due to the fact
that the trees are allowed to over-bear
one year and during that year, few, il
any, fruit buds can be formed. Most
kind of fruit trees cannot produce a
large crop and mature fruit buds at the
same time.
Third-Thinning lessons the loss oc.
easioned by rot and other fungus of in.
fection by contact. 1t also in a meas.
ure prevents the appearance and the
spread of diseases by permitting better
ventilation and drying Of the fruit in
side Of the trees.
Fourth-Thnning will produce larger
| fruit.
tlfth-Thinning will produce better
colored fruit by admitting more sun
light into the tree.
SiXth-Thinning tends to ripen up the
fruit more uniformly.
Seventh - Thinning will produce a
more salable and higher priced fruit by
| reason of the increase in size higher
color and general appearance.
Eighth = Thinning will preserve the
| shape of the tree and Drevents tba
breaking of overloaded branches

The Old Surf Bath.

1t is not so many years ago when
surf bathing Of a very primitive kind
prevailed at the eastern end Of Long
Island and, for aught l know, at other
points. Every Saturday morning or
afternoon, as the tide willed, through
out the summer, big farm wagons
trundled down to the beach and were
swung around abreast of the line Of
breakers. Old fish houses served the
purpose of modern bathing pavilions,
and the sea costumes were those of last
years village street. A long rope was
drawn from under the seats and
hitched to the wheel, and then some
sturdy ex-whaler or life crew man, in
red flannel shirt and old trousers tied
at the ankles, slipped his wrist through
the loop at the end Of this primitive
lifeline, and, wading out kept it as
taut as circumstances permitted, while
the women and children hung to ii and
revelled and wallowed and shrieked,

Novel Cold Storage Plan For Apples.


We had a large bay filled to breast
girt with hay and a big straw stack
out in the yard. Not knowing what to
do with the apples, we concluded to
pile them on the hay and cover them
with straw. We made a pyramid Of
apples in the middle Of the NOW, drew
straw and filled up to the plates, tramp
ing it we'll around the outside. We
left the apples alone until May 8 and
overhauled them. They were in much
better condition than We expected to
find them. There were not many'

age amounted to about ten per cent.
They were shipped to a commission
