What Came of a Letter.
n TY DEAR JoHN:
BY VALENTINE MOTT.

-N1 In answer to your dear letter
Of last Sunday wish TO say, that
Or. North does call here about once
week. He used TO be anxious about my
health, and then too he seemed to like
to discuss music and art with me- We
are very good friends.
Now, John, YOU ask me point blank If
I am in love with the doctor. There is
no sense i'll running on in this fashion.
] write merely 10 tell you that you
needn't be afraid. He says l am an
inspiration to him. The goodness only
knows what he sees in me ann such
a humbug unsteady intellectually and
artistically that a man OF his calibre
should see right through me. He never
suspects that have not taken his medi-
cine for months The fact is John | am
getting better dav by day. You know
the world is full of tired women. Some
are tired mentally, some tired physically,
and a few unfortunate ones suffer from
both mental and physical fatigue. The
society woman Is worn out by con-
tinual round Of social duties. A work
ing woman IS worn out by real bodily
fatigue and dull routine Something
more than that is the matter with me
John. You know for years | have SUI
fered from nervousness, lack of sleep at
night, backache, and when the social
season was over Twas almost dead, but,
thank goodness, John, ! am much
stronger woman now, and ! feel that /
can take care Of that cute, little cottage
which YOU and l are going to occupy
next fall. With much love,
Sincerely yours,

Attention
FarmerS.

Why remain in the North and
stay in doors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something = the year
round. If you are stock raiser
you know the stock are now
'eating their heads off" and, be.
sides, have to be.protected from
the rigors of winter by expen-
sive shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination of both
flesh forming and fat forming
foods in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce
in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first a flesh pro-
Queer, and the latter fat pro-
Queer, and they are the cheap
est and best fattening materials
know to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general farm
ing, fruit and berry growing and
truck gardening along our road
in the South than in other sec
ton Of the Union.

plain the packing of pears. First
pears must be graded and correctly
wrapped. To wrap, place the pear
diagonally on the paper and then draw
the paper tight until the paper forms
the shape Of the pear easily done
when tried.) Then fold the paper at
the bell end of the pear, folding the
paper at the ste end as the pear is
placed in the box. To pack the first
row, place the pear with the stem end
from you, the next row reverse keep

the stem ends of the third row be-
tween the bell end or the second row
and continue this until the layer is
finished.

How Farmers Built a Railway

They have extra-large quantity of
ozone in North Dakota atmosphere,
and that may account for it; but we
prefer to believe that the building of
railway by the farmers of Ramsey
county in that state is only sign
of the growing power and spirit Of in
dependence of the American farmer
everywhere. Worlds Work for Nov
ember tells the story, and we make
the following extracts from it:
These farmers hauled their grain
often a distance of twenty-five miles
to DEVILS Lake, the county seat,
through which the Great Northern
railway passed. 1t kept the farmers
hauling grain all winter They asked
James J. Hill, president of the rGeat
Northern railway, to build a branch
line from DEVILS Lake up through
their section. Mr. Hill said he could
not build. Six of the largest farmers
met at a schoolhouse. One of them

Fire Blight.

One of the diseases that has given
rise to a great deal of discussion
for almost a century is that variously
known as 'ire blight" when it affects
apple trees and pear blight when it
affects pears and other fruits. 1t is
especially destructive to pears. The
indications of fire blight are seen in
the browning or blackening OF the
leaves or of the young twigs or tender
shoots. When the twigs are affected
it is called "twig blight" In pears it
affects the leafy tufts of the spurs,
darkens the blossom clusters, and lat
er affects the branches. The progress
is always downward and when the
larger branches or trunks of the trees
are affected usually after being
bruised or otherwise injured, it is

the same with the exception that they
are placed in the creases formed by
the layer below, which when correctly
done will bring the bell end directly
above the stem end of the pears be-
low. After placing four layers in the
box you will find that you will have an
excellent pack and fifty pounds to the
box. This is the standard pack.
