WEARING AN OPAL.
Conflicting superstitions About the
Luck Ii Brings.

VI ThiSolton Dyer in his Domestic
FoiEiore' says that popular superst-
,l.l. n.....us it unlucky to wear an opal
ru.- ,U.,hstanding the fact that in
til. niat ie ages this lovely stone was
thought TO possess the united virtues
Of all the gems with whose distinctive
coors ii is emblaZoned.
A writer in Notes and Queries points
out that there are conflicting opinions
on this subject of very early date, some
writer's stating that failing sight Is re-
stored by the wearing OF an opal and
others that the luck depends upon the
color, white opal being Of fortunate
import and a black one ominous Of
evil.
Sir Walter Scott in "Anne Of Geier-
stein" ascribes TO supernatural agency
the loss Of beauty in a Mexican opal
when its iridescent surface Is acted
upon by water, and some trace to this
the notion that as a love token its fiery
or fading colors betoken faithfulness
or falsity.

Co-operative Insurance In Ohio.

There are now said to be II mutual
insurance associations in Ohio. with a
total volume of risks Of over $1SS.000.-
600. The Patrons Mutual, located in
Logan county, O., has been in operation
for more than twenty-four years and
has carried its members for one-ninth
OF / per cent. There has been no effort
made TO solicit members, but when an
honest and honorable man applies for
membership his application is passed
upon by the board of officers and is ac-
copied or rejected by vote Of the
members In this way hazardous risks
are frequently avoided and the associa-
ton has run as long as six years with
out any losses. And in the twenty-four
years there has only been one year in
which the losses were so heavy as to
make the cost as much as II would have
been in stock company, says one OF
its members.

The way Lees Old Negro Kept Out
OF Bullet Range.
When General Robert Il. Lee was
fighting Grant in the last days" an
old darby besieged headquarters with
requests 10 see the gin'ral." He was
turned away dozen times. But one
day he succeeded in reaching the
guard Immediately In front Of General
Lees tent. The alteration which fol
lowed was overheard by General Lee,
who called out, Let that man come
in." Then into the tent came the
fellow, rawboned, stumbling, gray
headed, gnarled old darky, who
scraped the ground with his foot and
kept turning his hat around nervously
in his hand.
"Well, where do you belongY de-
manded General Lee.

returned the darky.
mo; you don't" declared the general
sharply. Everybody in my company
has been shot. How is it that you
haven't been?"
"The darky scratched his head. Then
from his twisted mouth came a conf

BENEFITS OF COOPERATION
These Are Not So Fully Realized as
They Might He.


They Might he.
Especial Correspondence
One of the incidental benefits Of MEM
bership in the grange is the possibility
Of cooperation In the buying and sell
Ing Of farm products and farm supplies.
We had almost said the advantage was
more ideal than real. In but few
oranges is the cooperative idea carried
out to anything near its limit. In many
oranges the idea does not exist.
That cooperation is successful among
farmers we need only to refer to two
or three we'll known instances TO prove.
Fourteen years ago 500 Iowa farmers
combined in regularly Incorporated
organization to dispose of their prod
ucts and to buy supplies at reduced
rate. Their capital stock Is about SD
600, each share being worth SO. None
except practical farmers may hold
shares, and no member can hold more
than ten shares. Last year they did
business of more than 100000, with
an expense of less than $4,000, and in
the total existence of the company 1t
has done more than $J.0O0,00O worth OF
business without the loss of dollar.
A general agent manages the concern,
which buys all the products from the
members and markets them to much
better advantage than the individual
members possibly could. 1t buys sup
In a
farm In car lots ut Wholesale prices and
sells them to him at just sufficient
advance 10 cover the company's ex-
penses.
A cooperative organization OF Dan
ish dairy farmers may also be cited.
1t was formed in 1882, and now there
are 1867 cooperative dairies in Den
mark, which, with their equipment,
have cost over 100000. They are
owned by about 100000 shareholders
and receive milk from $4,000 cows.
During 1900 about 3.7OO, 100000 pounds
OF milk were delivered to these dairies,
and the total production Of butter from
them was 1871 100000 pounds at value
Of about S36,000,000. This is doing
things on large scale, it is true, but it
is doing them. With the spirit and the
purpose which the Iowa organization
or the Danish dairymen displayed even
in much lesser degree, what could not be
accomplished in a fraternal order like
the grange? The Pomona grange should
give more attention to cooperative buy
ing and selling. 1t could make itself a
powerful commercial factor in the
county; so might the subordinate
grange in its narrower field. We preach
cooperation. but do we practice 1t?

The sense of smell is by no means
SO developed in man as in dogs, cats
and other animals, but it is often alb
normally keen in individuals deprived
of other senses. Blind deaf mutes,
for example, can recognize their
friends and form an opinion about
strangers solely by means OF this
sense. Possibly, however, animals are
only sensitive TO certain smells while
unconscious OF others that affect us.
If this be the case they would natural
" be able to follow up one particular
scent more easily than man. this
scent to which they are sensitive be-
ing TO them less confused with others.

II brought Good Fortune In Theater
Seats tn a Woman.
There is an elderly woman In New
York who invariably gets dollar and
d half seat in the first balcony Of a
Broadway theater for 30 cents just be-
eause she once made a tactful reply to
the box office man. She had been In
the habit Of buying a seat for herself
In the top gallery for some time with
out anything unusual happening, until
one day she thanked the box office man
for giving her.a particularly good seat.
81 like to do II for you," he said, "be-
cause you look just like my mother"
"You think, suppose" she replied,
that your mother is the dearest
sweetest woman In the world"
Il do" the box Office man declared
CALAMITY.
"Well, then, that is the prettiest
compliment l have ever received" she
said smilingly, land thank you for II
very much"
The next time she went 10 buy a
fifty cent seat the man passed her out
one for the first row in the balcony
"But | don't want TO pay that much,
she protested.
Take it, with my compliments" he
said. 1T is my pleasure"
And he has kept the custom up now
for more than two seasons.-New York

HORTICULTURAL.
.....DEPARTMENT.
Insect Enimies and Diseases.


The chief insect enemy of the cherr
fruit is the plum curculio, which Is tn
cause OF the so-called wormy cherries.
Where many trees are grown this is sell
dom serious pest with sour cherries.
The most successful method of combat
ing it is by the Earring treatment. This
consists of Earring the trees early in the
morning, when the curculio will fall to
the ground and "play 'possum," and can
be picked up and destroyed. A catcher
made like an inverted umbrella and
mounted on a wheelbarrow is the most
practical appliance to use in the Earring.
A serious fungus disease, especially
during the past two wet seasons, is the
leaf spot disease. This attacks the
leaves, causing small brown spot about
an eighth of an inch IN diameter, and
later the leaves turn yellow and drop
from the trees This disease has been
unusually bad for the past two seasons,
the Morello cherries being most subject
10 the disease. In some cases the dis
ease was so destructive that great
many trees were killed outright, and
other trees were so weakened they Will
succumb to a second attack. This dis
ease has been so general throughout the
West for the past two seasons that much
care should be taken that the trouble IS
checked the coming season. The only
satisfactory remedy is to spray with Bor-
deaux mixture or copper carbonate soiu-
tion. 1t is important that the spraying
be done early, before blossoms open.
Until the cherries begin to color Dor
seaux mixture can be used, but after
the fruit begins to ripen the spraying
should be done with copper carbonate
solution, which will not stain the fruit.
Two or three sprayings will usually hold
the disease in check and four sprayings
should be sufficient even in extreme
cases.
The eating of cherries by birds is a
serious loss to the growers, and many
plans are recommended to prevent this.
One of the most popular is to plant Rus
sian mulberries, which will ripen with
the cherries, the fruit of which will be
preferred by the birds. Experiments
we're conducted by using a netting over
the trees, with a mesh fine enough to
prevent the entrance of the birds This
is practicable plan where there are
only few trees to be protected.
The descriptions of varieties, some of
them illustrated is an interesting feature
of the bulletin, but will not be of great
interest to commercial growers, who will
use but three or four varieties at most.
An interesting feature of the descrip-
tions, however, is what is said of the con-
fusion in regard to the Montmorency va
riety. The Montmorency Ordinaire is
given as the type of this variety most
generally grown. This is also called
Long -Stemmed Montmorency, and is
improperly called Large Montmorency
The true Large Montmorency, or Short
Stemmed MontmoreDcy is larger than
the Montmorency Ordinaire, but IS a
shy bearer, and is not now generally
propagated by nurserymen, except
where it is sent out under the impression
that the variety offered is the true
Montmorency Ordinaire, which is the
profitable type of this variety.

Making Attractive Homes.

To enhance the comforts and attrac-
tons of our homes and TO strengthen
our attachment 10 our pursuit are
among the objects Of the grange. When
we compare the homes of farmers
where there are no oranges with those
where the grange is strongest we do
not have to be very keen 10 see vast
difference in the surroundings. There
Is a section OF the state where there
is an ignorant prejudice against the
grange because it is advancing modern
ideas as applied to agriculture. In
such communities you will see the wo-
men carrying water long distances
from the well. while the men folk sit
around the kitchen. and the Stops and
dishwater are thrown outside the
kitchen door for want OF a drain, and
the pigpen is within ten feet OF the
house, so as 10 be handy TO feed the
hogs. No such condition exists where
there Is a grange. 1t teaches cleanli-
ness and thrift and has been the
means OF making better sanitary con-
ditions In farm homes. 1t means some
thing definite when we say in our
declaration that we are banded to-
gether TO enhance the beauty and COM
fort OF our homes.-G. A. Fuller.

Craze GrOWinQ.

The first point in successful grape
growing is the selection of good loca-
tion. Grapes demand good warm soil
naturally we'll drained. Gravelly loans
with porous sub-soil are best. Avoid
billy and uneven ground but select good
air drainage to avoid spring frosts. The
ground should be we'll and deeply
plowed preparatory to planting. One
year plants of either No. or No. 2grade
are preferable to two year of any grade,
as the one year plants are the first selec-
tons from the first seasons growth, the
remainder or smaller plants being
planted in nursery rows and carried over
for two year plants. A strictly No.
two year grape plant grown on good
soil for producing vines would be toe
large to handle and Improbable to
plant on account of the expense in get
ting it properly planted.
PLANTING.
The plants should be taken in a COO
and moist room where no air is circulat
ing to dry them put and the tops cut
back to two buds. The roots should be
shortened about one third of their
growth in length. Don't lay the bunch
on block and bruise the roots off with
a hatshet as some plants will require
more cutting than others, and although
this is the usual method it is very hap
hazard and unreliable. After having
fitted the ground we'll enough to plant

because in a country where the teas
so on all day long one would never know
which was the afternoon tea. But
the japanese can give dinner parties;

very good, and the dinner served in per

does not care for foreign theatrical
companies; he has no music halls; .
he does not hunt, he does not shoot.

children games, and he is too dignifed
10 play them in public. He fishes
and catches fish. He is a SPLEEN
