cessful ochardists, especially In the
Western states. prepare the land by
opening with a heavy pillow a furrow
where the rows OF trees are to be set
and then back furrowing the space be-

method affords a deeper filth under

In another large hall are the fam.
lily portraits. Over the doors are por.
traits Of the father of the Pope, Col.
Count Ludovico Pecci and of the
mother. Countess Anna Prospect

dark blue velvet, with deep rich gold
lace. and his fine epaulettes, lace
cravat and cuffs and white wig, looks
quite gentleman of the olden time.
The mother of Leo XIII came from
the little hill city of Corr, in the Vol
scian hills. high above the Pontine
marshes. Her portrait in spite of the
antiquated style In which she is rep
resented, with her powdered hair pulled
out on each side, shows her to be a
gentlewoman. Vincenjo Givacchino,
afterwards Leo XIII, was her sixth
child, and she was 3S years old when
he was born; when he was In his
18th year the future Pope lost his
mother. She died in Rome and was
buried in the Church Of the "Stim.
mate" where touching epitaph re.

Here We were shown the dresses OF
which there are several worn by the
grandmother of Leo XIII.
The uniform of Colonel Count Lu-
dovico Pecci, with its gold lace and
buttons with the papal tiara, is also

Pope informed his brothers of his
election to the pontificate, the first
letter he wrote as Pope. brown with
the sunlight, is here in a wooden

Valuable Fruit Lists.

so'eabiC FEuit 6tctss
Many mistakes are made in the
planting of fruit trees because the
planters do not take advantage Of the
opportunities they have for the Sc
curing OF reliable information on va
rieties. Our state experiment stations
and state horticultural societies have
at great expense and after years Oh
labor prepared lists of the fruits that
are reasonably certain to do well on
the soils OF the state. One Of the
states, Indiana, has prepared this list
according to counties, and this is a
very great help when the farmer Is
preparing to set out an orchard of any
kind of fruit. The lists are of course
not complete, as 1t Is manifestly i'm
possible to include varieties that Will
DO well In part of the state, but are
not certain to do well in ALL Except
where lists are fitted to suit counties
instead of states, the varieties recon-
mended are such as will give good
results within the limits of the state
for which they are made. In a state
like Illinois, nearly 400 miles in
length. the variation Of soil and eli.
mate is very great. This has led the
Illinois State Horticultural Society to
divide the state into three portions
known as the northern, the central
and the southern parts. For each of
these three sections there Is a differ
ent list. The tree planter has a very
difficult problem to handle when he
tries to choose between varieties. He
needs to make careful and continued
inquiry. Especially must he study the
varieties that are grown In his neigh
borhood, IL there are any such.
The states differ enormously in their
fruit lists. Thus east of Indiana the
Baldwin is found among the number
OF recommended varieties. OF It the
Ohio list says: "One of the best win
ter apples for the northern part OF
the state. but Is fall apple in south
ern counties. Very prolific, bears ev-
cry other year, not seriously affected
by apple scab." 1t would be a great
mistake for a Wisconsin grower to
take this as suitable for his state. IL
he planted an orchard of Baldwin
trees he would doubtless have cause
to regret 1t. His orchard would be
killed out by some Of the dry winters
and he would pronounce apple grow
ing failure. But the fault would
be with himself in not having select
ed the proper variety or varieties. This
is especially true Of plums. The Ohio
list puts Abundance "a Japanese va
riety) at the head Of recommended
plums. This might do for any To-
cality south Of Chicago and north of
Tennessee. but 1t would be mislead-
ing II applied In Wisconsin or Mime
sofa.
Incidentally 1t may be remarked that
some of our states are behind in this
work and some that have completed
lists have admitted varieties that are
in dispute as to their adaptability.
Thus we notice some of the Japanese
plums In the Wisconsin list, while
some of the leading plum growers In
that state declare that Japanese plums
there succeed only in very favorable
locations and do not do well as
general thing.

knots of red velvet connect the

touch of red also on the collar. A

Fencing for Angoras.

The fencing for pastures is a matter
which early concerns one who con-
templates going into the business, for
climb onto any shed Of ordinary
height or jump fence that will stop
other animals, says report of the
Bureau Of Animal Industry. While
they will climb anything that is built
In such a manner that It may be
climbed easily, they will not jump any
ordinary fence. They will, however,
creep through IL there is an opening
large enough. The old-fashioned
worm" fence, especially II 1t leans
outward, will not stop goats. The an
| giles in such fence are an incentive
and delight to them. Indeed, there
are many hogs that will go over a
fence OF this kind. In building goat
fence there are other matters to be
taken into account than simply that
the goats shall be kept in. The an
imals themselves Especially the young
ones) must be protected from dogs
and wolves from the outside. In the
southwest 1t is much more important
70 fence to keep vermin out than it is
to fence to keep the goats in. So
the double object must be kept In
view in building goat fence. Such
fence must be dog proof. hog proof
and wolf proof A hog at liberty
which has once had the taste of chick

sance than any wolf or dog, and
should be dispatched as being an enc

as kids.
One correspondent of the Bureau
constructs fence of ten barbed hog
wires, with posts set twenty feet
apart, having three stays between the
posts. The lowest wire is only one
inch from the ground; the next four
wires three and quarter inches apart
and one-half inch added to every
space above. 1t is necessary that all
the wires should be kept very tight.
This correspondent adds the interest
Ing note that many wolves are killed
by screw worms in wounds received
while attempting to crawl through
such fence. A good fence may be
made of woven wire feet high.
drawn on the inside of the posts. and
closely barbed strand Of wire three
or four inches above fastened to the
outside of the posts to prevent anil
mails from jumping in. A straight
rail fence, IL the rails are laid close
enough; as well as an ordinary board
fence, will turn goats. Mr.. Jobson
says that five-board panel fence four
feet high is sufficient for goats. He
also says that zigzag or worm, fences
are an incentive for the goats to
climb, and that they win walk along
the top Of such fences as easily as
on the ground. II they are permitted
to climb onto the roofs of buildings 1t
will not be long before they will have
them completely ruined.
