NATURES KINDLY wars.

There is something very motherly
and sympathetic in the way that ma
ture works and repairs damages
wrought by fire, flood, wind and wreck
or the destructive work Of man. Here
is a great gravel pit, yawdng chasm
left as testimony to the progress Of the
age by railway con1pany-an insight
ly, useless thing, but nature uses the
winds to sweep into the crater the fugi-
tive debris of the fields and the va
grant leaves, and the waters of the
summer storms, stealing from more
fertile lands, gives the sterile sand and
gravel coating Of hur.us and fertility
and the cottonwood fugitive seed drift
ing in the June breeze finds here a
congenial resting place, and, 10, in
few years the unsightly scar has be-
come pretty grove, while woodbine,
clematis blackberry and elder bush
come through aid Of bird and wind to
form an artistic border for the regen-
Grated gravel pit. Or here is fire
scar, the legacy of a forest horror,
when the very earth was calcined in
the furnace Of fame as it passed over,
all vegetable life absolutely annihilated
in its path; yet somehow the winds and
the birds and the rains are soon at
work, and here is soon. seen a little
feathery pine or Quivering aspen tip
and there a delicate spear of timothy
or sturdy bunch Of red clover, a tramp
woodbine peeping up at the foot Of the
old charred stump, and with the pass
ing of a few years there is nothing
left to tell Of the cataclysm of flame
save the ghostly pillar of a blackened
and scared tree trunk here and there.
Or let man strip hillside of its forest
covering and, roofing the field over
year after year with his crops Of cot
ton and grain and taking from its soil
its last vestige of fertility, abandon it.
How quickly will nature make the ef-
fort to repair the damage! First,
grasses or flowers, then trees, then
restoration-no place so high or low
or hidden or exposed, made unlovely
and unproductive by elemental strife
or mans rapacity, but some form of
life will nature find with which to re-
pair the damage and tenderly cover the
scar.

FOWL LANGUAGE.

The boys and girls will find it in
teresting to watch the fowls in the
yard and study their queer and most
significant language. There is the
early morning call Of the rooster-a
sort of signal service between separated
homesteads, answered back and forth
by rival heads Of harems, which may
be interpreted to mean that "alps
we'll at our house." Then there is the
ROSTERS call Of defiance to his rival
just over in the next yard, and his vic
torious crow from the top of the fence
post when he has whipped the other
rooster to finish. Then there is his
cultural invitation to the hens when
sometimes he has tidbit for the first
one on hand and quite often not, the
hens responding promptly to the call
Notwithstanding the unreliable charac-
ter of the invitation. Then there is
the hens cackle' when she has laid a
nice, fresh egg. her monotonous
"cluck' when she is incubati ting,
her protesting notes when meddled
with when so engaged, her motherly
grooming to the little ones as they push
up Under. her protecting wings, her
CHEEKY call to the chicks when she
has found a succulent and tender grub
for them. and, perhaps most striking Of
all, her note of warning as some preda-
tory hawk is seen far up in the air,
when every chick runs for cover even
the first time it hears it,

THE EVOLUTION OF THE TOWN.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE TOWN.
1t is always interesting to watch the
evolution Of a town from the rural to
the metropolitan stage of it's existence.
Early village conditions enabled and
permitted each resident if he so de.
sired to keep a COW, some pigs and
poultry, to hitch his team in front Of
the stores on the business street and to
build sidewalks or not as he saw fit
AS the town grows ordinances are
passed which compel the building and
the keeping in repair of the sidewalks,
others which make the keeping Of hogs
in town a public nuisance and compel
the shutting up of the foraging fowls.
Then the hitching posts have to go,
while the ten cent feed stable, the elec-
trio light, the paved street, the annual
scrap over municipal politics, the fire
company, the pastor who demands a
lay off in hot weather, the daily paper,
the one horse college, system Of wa
terworks, baseball club and 6 per
cent tax rate give evidence that the one
time village has grown into modern
municipality, an expensive and resric-
tive way Of living compared with the
old conditions. s..' ..-.~. .-

PIEPLANT.

A friend writes and wishes to know
how to start bed Of pieplant this fall
Pieplant is one of the easiest things
transplanted which we have, and all
there Is to do is to well fertil1Ze and
deeply work up the bed where it is to
be planted, then take sections Of the
roots and plant with the crown about
four inches under the surface If plant
ed this fall it will make no growth un-
til spring, but will then grow all right
Speaking about pieplant, we might add
that where one has plenty of roots in
the garden two or three may be taken
up late in the fall with plenty of earth
around them, allowed to freeze solidly,
and then be removed into warm cell
lar and kept moist The result will be
that by February one can go down
cellar and pull off long, tender white
stems Of delicious pieplant just the
incest and most appetizing material for
pie timber. This process will use the
roots up, however. and they must be
thrown away in the spring.

Pedigree. and individual merit must
ever be closely associated in the selec-

results are to be obtained. Pedigree
without individual merit is expecting

We notice that newly developed va
rieties Of potatoes bloom very much

a veritable posy bed, every hill car

with large purple blossoms having yel-
low centers. This would indicate to
us that such new variety possessed a
greater degree of vigor than the older
