uORTICULTURAL NOTES.

No. / fruit put up in good shape is
the best kind of an advertisement for
the grower.
Cultivating and pruning are the most
important items during the first years
OF an orchard.
1t is none too early to look up your
sprayer, for you have got to spray or
lose your fruit trees.
Many trees and plants fail to make
satisfactory start through lack Of
proper pruning at the start.
Less acreage and better care would
be a good policy for some people to
adopt in their fruit growing opera
TONS
Has your plum tree black knots on
it? Cut the whole black knot business
away and burn it. Perhaps there are
some also on your cherry trees.
Send for the fruit tree catalogues,
study up varieties and be prepared
with your order. First come. first
served" is the motto of nurserymen.
If the orchard and berry patch have
the right kind of treatment they will
produce results that will be satisfac-
tory to the owner as far as yield is
concerned.
Did you keep record of results
from garden seed you planted last
year? II you did, profit by that ex-
oerience when the time comes to make
your selections,

gift Of s1t,ooo,ooo In Checks Makes a

With flushed face and flashing eye,
Marcsllus Hartley Dodge, favorite
grandson OF Marcellus Hartley, the
dead millionaire, yesterday was the
recipient OF checks representing s11,-

class day exercises in Columbia uni
versity. That the reference to the
legacy he will receive from the estate

he did not arise to accept the checks,
out compelled Roi Cooper Magrue, the
presentation orator, to carry them over

them In his hand. Neither did he ut.
ter word of acknowledgment of a
gift which recalled so Unexpectedly
the death Of his grandfather.
1t was y joke designed by the grad.
uating class. Not until its effect was
shown by their popular fellow student
did 1t dawn upon the students that
breach OF good taste had been com,
mitted. In making the presentation
Mr.. Magrue said:
Although Mr.. Dodge is very hard
worker, we are afraid his path in life
VIII not be as smooth as we should
wish. Therefore, to assist him at the
outset OF his struggle with the world,
we have taken up collection and
raised $11.o00.0o0, which is repre-
sented by these three checks. l take

SELECTING VARIETIES

If there is one department of the
State experiment stations, and this
applies to all States, that can aid the
fruit growers more than another, it
is the horticultural department. Every
years there are thousands of fruit trees
and plants set which ought not to have
been set. That is. the planter has set
the wrong sorts. He has read of the
wonderful doings of some variety, and
Immediately buys literally of it with
out ascertaining if it is suited to his
soil and location.
This information can be obtained
from the State experiment station by
writing and giving the nature of the
soil, lay of land, condition of the soil
and the purpose for which it is pro-
posed to grow the fruit, giving the To-
cation of the markets and their dis
lance from you if it is proposed to
grow fruit for market. With this In
formation the horticulturist of the sta
ton can and will advise one so that
the chance of making an error will be
small indeed. Make use of the expert
ment station which you help support.

Palace of Trans oortation there are
four miles of tracks for the exhibition
of locomotives and cars of all kinds,
besides the large spaces reserved for
the marine display, the automobiles,
motor cycles, pleasure vehicles and
the heavy wagons for business use.
The figures Of the engineering depart

These facts and figures convey to the
mind some idea of the character of the
Worlds Fair, but they should appall
no one, for the arrangement of the
whole is such as to enable the visitor
to get about freely and to find what he
wants to see with little difficulty.
This wonderful Exposition reveals
the growth and development of past
years and foretells or alter things to
come.
Bigness is not, however, the quality
which most appeals. The vast proper

than from effort to outrival former I'M

MANURING TREES.

When manurlng trees, scatter the
manure some distance from the trees
SO it will soak down and manure the
roots. Too often this manure is
banked around the trunk of the trees
and the end Of the roots derive no ben
eft whatever from it.
A certain variety of fruit may diff
fer in its keeping quality when grown
in different parts of the country. 1t
may also vary when grown in the
same locality under different cultural
conditions. The character of the soil,
the age of the trees, the care of the
orchard-all of these facts modify the
growth Of the trees and fruit, and may
effect the keeping quality of the ap-
Piles. The character of the season also
modifies the keeping power of the
fruit.--Green's Fruit Grower.

WHAT SINCERITY IS.
The Consciousness and Analysis of the
Motives of All Life's Actions.

The Consciousness and Analysis of the
Motives of All Life's Actions.
Love contains no complete and last
ing happiness in the transparent at
mosphere of perfect sincerity. TO the
point of this sincerity, love is but an
experiment; we live in expectation,
and our words and kisses are only
provisional. But sincerity is not pos
sible except between lofty and trained
consciences. Moreover, it is not
enough that these consciences should
be such; this is requisite besides, if
sincerity is to become natural and es-
sential-that the consciences shall be
almost equal, of the same extent. the
same quality, and that the love that
unites them shall be deep laid.
But it is impossible to be sincere
with others before learning to be sin
cere toward ones self. Sincerity is
only the consciousness and analysis of
the motives of all life's actions. 1t
is the expression of this consciousness
that one is able later to lay before the
eyes of the being with whom he is
seeking the happiness of sincerity

ty and Love-" in the Century.
