must not only be physical but spiritual.
This Is u fitting and proper tribute,
for II IL in memory of one whom We loved I,
who possessed the qualities Of beauty and
strength, man with large worldly in
terests, yet everywhere a man of God "a
man who was fixed and firm in principle
and in every high resolve of life, possessing
sweetness, gentleness humbleness OF he
and graciousness of spirit The tribute
will be revered by all who knew him. This
entire sermon, however wanting It may be,
Is my own sincere and grateful tribute to
one who helped so much to make this parish
what 1t is-one who il held in gracious
memory, not only for what he gave, but
for what he was. We may well believe
that such a life cannot and will not die
His memory will linger to help US. In
closer union with God, his life itself sur

The memorial consists Of three sets OF
doors, about twelve feet high and OF solid
bronze. The doors are at the front en-
frances TO the church. Those at the north
entrance were made by the sculptor Philip
Martiny the middle ones are the work OF
Herbert Adams; those at the south entrance
were made by d. &. French and his col
laborator, Mr.. O'Connor.
On the outer side of the doors are many
figures of the Apostles in bronze, repre-
senting well known Biblical scenes. The
entire facade IL modelled after that at the
Cathedral in st Giles, in the south OF France.
About three years were consumed In tho
making Of the doors.

Why the export grain trade has been di-
verted in part to the extreme northern
and southern routes Is capably explained
by the Railway World of Philadelphia, in
its number of last Saturday, wherein it is
demonstrated that the route is now ques-
ton of geography, not of rates. As long
export grain the trunk lines could control
the traffic, dividing 1t between New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore by allowing
dfferentials to the Southern ports. With
the development OF the hard wheat industry
came the northward movement, in grain
culture, and the advantages Of the Lake
route Increased 30 that to-day the bulk

Baltimore and Philadelphia from any
large share, for at the foot OF the Lakes
the grain naturally took one OF three routes.
II could go to New York by canal or rail.
to Montreal via the Welland Canal, or to
Boston by rail. New York lost to the
other northern ports because OF the re-
duction OF port and storage charges at
the Montreal route, added to the circum-
stance that tramp steamers, as the cargo
boats are known that take the bulk OF the
export grain, prefer to load at Montreal
because OF the lower port duties there and
the shorter passage. The st. Lawrence
trade owes it's increase, too, TO the notable
expansion Of wheat culture In Manitoba
which made the exports from Montreal for
this season, up to Aug !. 2.74o,OO0 bushels

Horticultural Notes
BY F. Walden

well known to the mereSt tyro IN fruit Gull
ture that pollen is essential to the fruitful
ness of any plant. If pollen is not in some
way brought into contact with embryOtiC
fruit it will not develop at all. A good
many flowers are double in their organiza-
ton, having stamens that produce the pollen
and the pistils to receive it. Such flowers
are called hermaphrodite or bisexual. Where
we have flowers of this kind nature has pro-
vided for their own crossing But there are
many flowers that are unsexual, having pis
ills but not stamens and consequently pro-
duce no pollen. In such cases the fruit will
not develop. These are called sterile flow
ers Some strawberry flowers are absolute
ly sterile and no fruit will be produced un-
less the plants grow near some others that
have perfect flowers, in which case the wind
will carry the pollen to the sterile flowers
and fine berries will be produced. In the
case of the common orchard fruits, such as
apples, peaches, pears, cherries and plums,
many have perfect bisexual flowers, few
are absolutely sterile and some are simply
deficient in pollen Another fact must be
kept in mind in studying these problems and
that is, that this matter of deficient pollen
varies according to kind of weather prevail
ing at blooming time. So far as [ know
there are no peaches that are either sterile or
cherries. Many apples have perfect flowers,
many are deficient in pollen and few are
sterile. The same is true of pears and plums.
Now no one is able to say with certainty
which varieties are deficient in pollen. The
only safe rule to go by is to mix these
fruits in planting them in the orchard. An
indiscriminate mixing is not wise. The rule
| go by is to plant two rows OF apple trees
of one kind and two rows of another kind.
The wind and the insects will carry the pol
len across from one row to another so that
the deficient flowers are made fruitful. This
is what we ordinarily mean by cross pollen
alton Sometimes this crossing is done me-
chancally but only where it is intended to
plant the seed and raise hybred. In ordi-
nary orchard culture nothing of the kind is
attempted and we need not dwell on that
phase of the subject here.
Prof. C. " Piper, the efficient entomology
list of Pullman Agricultural College, is reach
ing out to make actual experiments in fight
ing the injurious insects that menace Our
fruit growing. His experiments in COM
batting the San Jose Scale in the orchard
of Mr. La Toilette on Snake river have been
alluded to in these columns. Now he pur-
poses to do a similar work in fighting the
coding moth In a note to the editor of
these notes he has this to say as to his pur-
pose in this direction:
1--WE are contemplating putting man in the
Yakima valley this season to devote his whole at
tention to the study of the cooling moth in that
valley We shall endeavor to do as thorough a
piece of work as it is possible to do in one sea-
son. The main work will be to determine definite
ly the number of broods in that valley and their
respective dates of their appearance AS you are

ASK YOUR GROCER

men to fill the offices of fruit inspector in the
various counties of the state. [ have never
claimed that the county inspectors should
be college graduates. My contention is that
these men should pass an examination by
the horticu1turist and entomologist OF our
state agricultural college. Incompetency
and ignorance are the things that l object
to- If man is competent let him be ap-
pointed even if he never saw the inside OF
college. The fact that a man has been
fruit grower even for many years does not
necessarily qualify him to be an inspector.
It is not fruit that he is to inspect so much
as it is diseases that affect the trees and the
fruit and also insect pests. Think OF a coun-
ty fruit inspector recommending men to bore
holes into their trees and to fill them with
some compound to kill the pear blight; who
recommend lights to be placed in their
orchards to attract the codling moth; who
recommend certain "dopes" as a sure cure
for all the ills of trees and fruits; who rec
ommend certain traps to catch the codllng
moth and claim that they have caught hun
dreds of them because they found big brown
moths in their traps! Are such men COM
pie how to destroy insect pests? All honor
to the men who have become competent by
diligent study though they never rubbed
their backs against college walls. I have
no fault to find with such men, but [ am
down on the incompetent cranks and the
blows who are almost as ignorant as horses
on such things. If any of the latter class
are hit by what I have written, they would
do we'll to stand up and take their medicine.
Business Appetite Rural New Yorker,
in advocating close planting of apple trees,
100 trees per acre adds: The above plan is
for those who have made up their minds to
go into orcharding for the profit there is in
it, making it their business, not secondary
thing. If the orchard cannot have the use
of all the land, and proper feeding, cultivat-
ing, spraying and trimming, as well as thin
ming out the fruit when necessary, then go
on the present system. Set the trees thirty
five to forty feet apart, and get all you can
from the land by putting it into grass or
other crops. Those who thus plant their
orchards and crop them, will be the ones who
will proclaim aloud that orcharding does not
pay, as thousands are shouting at the pres
ent time There are many things on Our
farms needing great changes if properly
conducted but there is nothing where a
more radical change is required than in the
present system of orcharding, as it is done
on most of the farms, if profit is to be de-

MAKING THE CHILDREN HAPPY.

MAKING THE CHILDREN HAPPY.
A representative of THE BEE was
kindly entertained at dinner by Rev
and Mrs U. o. Mohr at the "Fresh
Air Farm" last Saturday, when in
town and had an opportunity to see
some of the workings of that institu-
tiOn, which, gives so much enjoyment
to so many poor children of New York
City, who at home hardly know how
grass looks. The care that is taken
by Rev and Mrs Mohr to keep disease
out of this flock and see that each
little one has all they wish to eat and
a very enjoyable time is worthy of
praise. Before the children leave
New York City physician inspects
each child to see no disease is about
them. Rev Mr. MOhr and his assistant
meet them at New York and see them
safely by train to Branchvllle, and
the return trip is made the same way.
Six different lots of children are taken
and given the outing every year, there
being about 200 children in each set.
The little ones reaching the farm are
each assigned to cot and then can 20
outdoors and run and play and ylay
about the spacious grounds. When
meal time comes trumpet is blown
about half hour before it is ready
when all the little ones must go to the
brook near by and wash their hands
and faces When the second trumpet
is blown they form in two lines, the
boys in one and the girls in another.
Thus they march to their seats. At

little song OF thanksgiving for the
food is sung by all, and it is beauti-
