A big man who seemed the leader, fired
volley of ferocious oaths at the keep
ers, and threatened to send them to hell
that moment " they did not instantly de-
liver up that gentleman.

away quickly in the direction indicated.

Covering Peach Trees Pays.

Several years ago the writer par
ticipated in the work of laying down
peach trees in autumn and covering
them in various ways to protect them
through the winter and spring. This
plan has been tried in various ways
almost every year, and nearly always
with success. In season like the
present one, when peaches promise to
be rarity, any scheme of carrying the
fruit buds through the freezing wealth
er is especially attractive. Prof. w.
Paddock has recently reported the sue
cess of several growers in various
parts of Colorado who have been prac-
iicing this method. They find it prof
liable as commercial venture. 1t
looks like an impracticability, to be
sure. TO lay down and partially cover
a fruiting tree every fall; but it has
been shown repeatedly that it is per-
fectly feasible. The expense is only
about ten to Is cents a tree, and even
a dozen good peaches will almost cover
that cost.--Country Gentleman.

RURAL TROLLEY LINES.
They Are of Great Benefit to Farm ers
and Villagers and Should He
ENCOURAGED

Some of the latest trolley road en-
terprises are likely to be of special
benefit to small towns. Most of the
earlier electric roads were built par
ailel to steam lines, connecting only
the cities and large towns already
provided with railroad facilities. and
directly useful to such farmers only
who happened to live on or near the
line of the road. But most of the
main towns being already connected
there is now a tendency to reach out
and secure the business of the farm
ing towns which have never had a
railroad of any kind. Already in
western Massachusetts,, in Connect
cut and in parts of Maine new roads
are branching out in all directions,
bringing new life to lonely communi-
ties and serving as feeders to the
steam roads and the main street
lines. Many new projects are not
street lines at all, but go straight over
the fields and meadows, making cuts
and filings, when needed, at consid-
cradle cost. Such lines are capable
of high speed and regular service.
Many a town will enjoy good passen-
ger facilities and often a freight,
mail and express service by the con-
struction of an electric road where
a steam road could never hope to do
a paying business.-American Guilt

Mending and darning are most wom-

who neglect this important part of
their training find it difficult to ac-
quire after marriage--the time when a
knowledge of such things is most
needed.
The young mother who has had the

dren, says American Queen.
From the time a child can hold n
needle in her little hand she should be
shown how to mend, beginning with

own garments.
Teach her that it is as important to
mend her clothes as to learn her school
or music lesson; that all are equally
essential, and that the earlier she be-
gins the more easily will the lesson be
learned.
This training infuses into the child
a certain individual independence and
responsibility. 1t will also have the eff

WANTS BETTER ROADS.
Secretary Of National Dairy Union
Has Become Earnest Advocate
of Brpwnlow Bill.

The dairy farmers of the United
States are wide awake and progressive,
especially where their interests are
concerned. Recently they have been
catching the enthusiasm of the good
roads movement. The National Dairy
union is one of the greatest farmers
organizations in the country. It's pow
er was shown last year when ii secured
the passage through congress of the
oleomargarine bill. 1t looks now az
IL the union will take up the fight for
national aid in road Improvement. Sec
rotary Charles Y. Knight recently ex-
pressed himself as follows concerning
the Brownlow bill:
I'm company with hundreds of
thousands of other people throughout
the United States, l am very much in
terested in this bill. ! have just re-
turned from tour of Italy, France
and England, where / had an oppor-
tunity to observe the character of the
roads in those countries. Coming home
and looking over our miserable facili-
ties for getting around in the.rural
districts, L made up my mind that it
will be necessary for this country to
do as European countries have done
in order to get good roads, i. e., have
government aid.
The National Dairy union is organ
lied throughout the north in every
congressional district which has any
amount Of agricultural constituency,
and 1 am firmly of the opinion that
the progressive farmers who are dairy
men will be in favor of the bill for
national aid. l am so much interest
ed in its success that am willing to
use my influence to have our dairy
farmers petition for the passage Of
this bill. l would be willing to give
several hundred dollars out of my own
pocket to see the roads of this country
improved like those of France

THE SIZE OF ORCHARDS.
Many Beginners Make a Mistake By
Cultivating Too Small a Tract
at First.

IL is almost as difficult and eXpen-
sive to care for five acres of orchard
trees as II is for ten, and it is misplaced
energy to attempt TO plant orchards
too small to occupy ones full time,
says NJ. +. Warning, in American Guilt
vator. AS a good deal of modern or
charding expense consists in the labor
of spraying and fighting insects, il
will pay better to have an orchard
large enough to warrant one in pur-
chasing the necessary apparatus to
spray properly. A large orchard also
tends to protect itself from the winds,
and in winter and summer there may
be a considerable saving from this.
The trees on the outside nearly always
produce less than those inside.
II one is going to have an apple or
other fruit orchard, it is just as well
to have a fine one as an ordinary kind.
The latter will not cost much more in
the end. and it will prove profitable,
while the former will not. Plant trees
of well known marketable varieties
and get good specimens from reliable
dealers. Spray them every season
and protect them from pests of all
kinds. Do not let them injure them
selves by bearing heavily the first few
years. Pluck off the blossoms or fruit.
so that no limb or branch will be
strained. Over-production at an early
age is deadly TO a good tree. Each year
set out new trees in the place of any
that may be injured or killed. Do not
have a ragged orchard, but try to make
every tree come up TO the standard.
This can be easily done il one has ordi-
nary intelligence, and will give the
time TO the work. Use only cultivated
crops in the apple orchard. Wheat.
oats and timothy are bad for the
trees. They take too much from the
soil. but cultivated crops. seeding the
land TO clover or COW peas every few
years, will produce excellent results.

Cracker. for Youn. Cbick..

Soaked crackers and soaked bread
are often recommended as food for
young chickens, but don't recollect
ever having seen dry crackers men
toned. For several years have given
my newly-hatched chickens no food
but dry Boston crackers and cold wa
ter. Since adopting this method I
don't think have lost one chicken
from infantile diseases. i break up a
cracker with my fingers, and the little
ones pick up the minutest particles,
the mother hen reducing the larger
pieces 70 the proper size. IL one has
incubator chickens, IL would be neces-
sary to pound or grind the crackers,
but I doubt not that the chicks will
thrive as do mine.--Country Gentle
