BIG APPLE ORCHARD.
Ono 20 Cover 5000 Acres TO BE Plant
ed In Missouri.

Missouri Is 10 have 5.000acre ap-
The Frisco road will build a track
through frfrom end to end, and depots
and warehouses will be erected for the
storage of the products. An evaporat-
Ing plant, "a vinegar and cider plant, and
canning establishment will be erected,
and facilities provided for caring for
every portion of the orchards product
on business basis the keynote to
which is like thai of the packing houses
NOT a thing shall be wasted.
The big orchard is to be located In
Laelede County about three miles from
Lebanon, on tract occupying a north
ern plateau. nearly the whole of the 8.
600 acres sloping to the north. con-
dition much sought for by orchardlsts.
1t Is owned by company Differed by
IOwans and which expects to make an
investment ON the property OF 81 ,000.-
900
II is proposed to set about 1880 acres
of the tract to apples, the remaining
200 acres being reserved for buildings
and other necessary purposes. Two
year-old apples trees are TO be planted
on LOCO acres next spring. and $50
acres of peach trees are to be planted,
these to afford quicker returns than can
be expected from the apple trees. The
peach trees will be supplanted by ap-
pie trees later, however From the
peach orchard returns are expected in
three years. while for the apple trees
six years are allowed While the trees
are growing the company Will plant the
land to corn, berries. and other crops
IN order to get return from year to
year. Stump pullers and steam plows
are already at work, and the contract
has been let for clearing the entire
tract.
The apples to be grown will be chiefly
Of the Ben Davis and Jonathan yarie-
ties which have been shown to be
adapted to that soil and which will keep
well, remaining In cold storage for two
or three years. 1t is intended that the
orchard company shall market not only
the fruit of its own farm, but shall buy
and ship fruit from surrounding grow
ers, thus keeping constantly in close
touch with the markets and in position
TO take advantage of every favorable
condition.
The Ozark country is yearly taking
higher rank among the apple producing
sections. and one of the promoters of
the big orchard said he was advised the
apple growers of New York and other
of the older States were not replanting
their trees owing to the high values Of
land in those sections. He says that
with the cheap lands of Missouri so well
adapted TO apple growing and so CEN
trally located as to the best apple mar
kets, the Ozark region will soon become
the apple producing center of the world

Are You There2

If a story told in NJ. A. P. be true
In all particulars there exists man
who has cause to regard the telephone
with an unfliendly eye. 1t is related
that one evening when Prince of Wales,
the King was at public dinner at
which he was to speak. During the
meal he told an equerry to send to
Marlborough House for a book, TO
which he wished to refer for fact.
The equerry gave the necessary in
structions, and the hotel manager rang
the royal residence up on the telephone.
After he had made himself understood
there was a pause Of many minutes.
He rang again, then again, until at
last, losing all patience, he literally
shouted: "Are-you-there? What in
the world do you mean by keeping His
Royal Highness waiting? Can you
find the book or notT To his angry
expostulations came the quiet answer,
1--WE are very sorry to keep you wait
ing; we are doing our best to find the
book, which shall be sent on at once.
Please tell my father this because be Is

At an Abnormal ANGLE.

Any one who rests his head on a pill
low and bolster while be is sleeping is
slowly but surely committing suicide,
says a French physician. The only nat
ural position for man while sleeping
is the horizontal one, and the first thing
to do In order to accustom ones self to
it is to remove the bolster. Within a
few months one will be able to sleep
much more calmly than ever before,
and, moreover, the general health will
be much improved. This statement is
not made lightly, but is the result of
long experience. The next step is to re-
move the pillow, for not until then will
the circulation of the blood be as free
as it should be. The pillow and bolster
keep the head and neck at an abnormal
angle, and consequently the sleeper's
entire body remains during the night
in an uncomfortable position, and one
which impedes the free course of the
blood through the vessels and organs.
