DeckIe Edges on Books.

There are people OF taste, according
to correspondent in Argonaut, who
still remain as strongly antipathetic to
deckle edges in fine bound books as
they do to decklc edges in tall collars.
They are continually putting the qucs-
ton to booksellers, why don't pub
fishers fnsh books while. they are about
it, and not leave them ali ragged?'
And the booksellers are continually say
ing in weary voiccs-or perhaps con-
descendingly-'it's the style" These
anti-dccklc edge people have, however
York paper says roundly that rough
edges in bound books are a nuisance.
and it defends its characterization with
some cogency. Originally the edges OF
books were left rough, so that ii re-
bound the leaves might be trimmed
without making the page margin too
narrow. In France, practically all
books are issued in paper covers and
rough edges and the purchaser is sup
posed to have them bound according
to his individual taste. In such case
the rough edges and wide margins are
necessary and proper. But are they so
where, as in this country, books are
issued in permanent binding and are
very rarely rebound? A rough edge is
certainly a dust-catcher. as everybody
knows who handles such books. To
cut the pages requires certain amount
oi labor. which. in large Libraries. can
i'll tc spared. II the rough edge is to
make the reader think the paper is
handmade, then it is in most cases
deliberate Misrepresentation However,
the publishers probably know their bus
mess, and are convinced that the gen
eraity OF people want their fine books
with rough edges. And until the ma
lority OF book-buyers cease to clamor
for deckle edges, deckle edges we shall
probably have.

Observe how the hens feed when
out on the range. 1t is first a blade
of grass or leaf clover. then q short
chase for a grasshopper or cricket.
She now discovers soft spot in the
soil which shc now believes worth
investigating, and sets TO work with
the mining tools nature has given her
with view of finding out If 1t is "pay
dirt" A fuzzy weed head is in her
path and she stops to shatter down
few Of the rlpened seeds She is drawn
,way from this repast by another
grasshopper. which springs down in
front Of her and jumps away again
just in time to save himself from the
dash which she has made at him. In
place of the grasshopper which she
didn't get she nips another clover leaf
or blade of grass. Thus the hen feeds
n little at time and consuming hours
In obtaining full meal. 1t seems
that people who see this every day
might know that throwing down a
measure of shelled corn on bare spot
Is not the way TO feed the hens. And
those who do this receive conclusive
proof that there is something wrong
with their feeding during the time of
year when the hen has no choice of
food, but must live on what Is given
her by the owner.-Green's Fruit

This is, rs l believe, training up an

1t frequently happens that an orchard

method of treating such an orchard. l
have pruned in this manner several
large orchards, cutting out limbs four
inches or more in diameter, and i have
noted only good results from such sc.

A sharp, fine-toothed saw Is the best
tool for cutting the larger limbs and
ordinary white lead paint Is very
good covering for the larger wounds.

No Onts in Orcllnrds.

1t has been many years since I first
made the statement that crop of oats
Is the next thing to a fire in an orchard.
This feeling was forced unon me by
the many injurious results l had seen
IN the orchards OF others but never in
my own, and l have seen no reason
to change or modify the statement.
All the small grains are injurious to
orchards of any age While the trees
are young and large part Of the
ground is not pcr!neated by their
roots. hence is not needed for their
use. it is both reasonable and wise to
utilize that part Of it with temporary
crops. But these crops should be such
as require tillage and especially in the
spring and early summer. Corn is
not Il bad crop, if not planted too close
20 the trees. Potatoes, sweet potatoes,
peanuts. cotton. melons or almost any
thing that requires frequent stirring
of the soil will do.
But oats are the worst of all the
small grains for orchards. because they
not only draw largely on the fertility
Of the soil but require Il very great
quantity of moisture. There are great
differences between crops in the
amount of water necessary to pass
through them to the air from the
soil in tho course Of growth. Oats
are among the most greedy in sths
respect. Anyone who has fa"med very
much knows low IN oat crop leaves
.he ground. And then. /, grows so
late in the season. 1t Is after rye and
wheat are in the shock, ard sometimes
stacked and threshcd. that the cat
crop is cut. Whatever may be done
or not done with the orchard soil do
not afillct 1t with an oat crOp.-u. L.
