which women are exerting in school af-
1airs and public places where the well
fare of children and the home is con-
cerned.
1t is good for children to be taught
the names of the trees and plants; to
know the difference between one and
acquainted with the birds animals, and
insects which inhabit the fields and
woods around.
This knowledge impaired In youth. is
never forgotten, and 1t brings much hap
piness in after years, when the worries
and cares of the world send the man or
woman back TO nature where IN the
renewal of early acquaintanceship they
find peace.
So / am glad that II is the children's
hour, that our people are laying up for
them trea sures that cannot be taken
away in the by and bye; pleasures that
never pail. that are infinite in their va
rietx.
The trend of the times is to get back
to nature; to come into possession once
more of what we have lost: to throw
off artificiaIity and adopt the good and
true. and such men as Kipling in his
jungle stories Ernest ThompSOn-SetO
in his animal tales. and the many writ
ers of tales of camp life are doing this
good work with our young people. and
we must not forget Emerson and Tho
reau. who have paved the way and
cleared the brush from the path that
leads back TO the wild.
5ucn rnings tend to eliminate the
innate brutality that exists in many
natures; TO broaden the character so
that the eyes may be opened to the
good that is all about us and to pity
and TO deal gently with the bad which Is,
OF course, misdrected good and a waste
of energy
We want the coming generations to
be great therefore kind: to love all
nature and take pleasure in seeing
things 1--we, not in ruthlessly killing
them. either for pleasure or profit. and
the work that is being done at present
for children makes for this end

things concerning our eating Hear
him: "Palatable food eXcites the or
gans that secrete the juices absolute
ly necessary to the perfect digestion.
Feed a man on dry bread alone and
soon he must drink water, in order
that it be mOistened enough to allow
it to be swallowed. Spread the dry
bread with honey, jam, jelly or fruit
butter, and his mouth literally waters
at the sight of it. Before he has had
a chance to taste it the salivary
glands begin their work and his SOM
ach begins to fill with gastric juice
and he will not only eat more of it,
but digest it more completely and
thereby get more nutrition from it.
1t is the same with all our food"
Which being interpreted means that
if you eat what you relish it will
agree with and build you up better
than unaplatable food. Good again
am contemplating planting
small orchard, and would like to put
in few gravenstein apples. But
they are very shy beaer mere with
us. Am told, however, that if one in
planting would set them along with
or near some other Variety that
bloom the same time, that it has a
tendency to increase their bearing.
Is that fact? If SO, what varieties
bloom the same time?-G. H. Deeds.
In answer to the above inquiry |
would say that my experience with
the Gravenstien is that it is not an
early bearer. The tree is vigorous
grower and such trees are apt to be
shy bearers till they get their growth.
Any thing that will check the tree
growth will cause the formation of
fruit buds. Planting trees of differ
ent kinds of apples near each other
good plan with all varieties of apples
but the Gravenstien does not need
this more than most other avrieties. l
have two Gravenstien trees in my eX-
detrimental orchard which are sur
rounded by different kinds of apples
but they did not come into bearing
any sooner than such trees not so
surrounded. Almost any kind of an
apple blooms near enough with the
Gravenstien to fertilize it's blossoms.
There is a mistaken notion prevalent
about this blooming of varieties to-
gether in order to secure this cross
polination. Not near all the bloom
on apple trees of any kind come out
at the same time but they strech
along for a week or ten days. Watch
them and see. Very little good If any
can be secured by trying to match"
trees in their time of blooming. This
