Plant Busine 8 Orchards.

The general rule is to plant the
leading business variety of the sec
ton, and not much of anything else,
says an eastern exchange. In Ben
Davis region plant Ben Davis. In
a Newtown Hippin region select
main trees of that choice variety. In
the Baldwin belt raise Baldwins,
and SO on.
Not only is the variety sure to
succeed when it has been so thor
oughly tried, but it can be marketed
to better advantage and the dealers
know what it stands for when grown
in its favorite home and they under
stand just what to do with it. Mixed
orchards are nuisance from a busi-
ness point of view. A few trees Of
miscellaneous varieties around the
home grounds are we'll enough, but
not likely to add much to the cash
income. But a solid block Of a
leading commercial kind will be
likely to find whatever market there
may be. Other kinds may be grown
successfully; but where is the gain?
In most parts of New England for
instance, the Baldwin is the leader,
and most growers in that section
would be as we'll off if every tree
were of that variety. Other kinds
may do as well, but they are pretty
sure to be harder to sell to full ad-
vantage. Hence, why grow other
kinds?

Fill your Corn Cribs.

The west has been short on corn
for two or three years. A good many
feeders have been feeding from hand
to mouth, buying corn at prices
above the Chicago market, less
freight, and in almost every case
higher than that paid by the local
grain dealer. The prospect now is
that we will have more than an aver
age corn crop the United States over;
not the bumper crop that the trade
papers tell about, but more than an
average crop.
Farmers should now take the op-
portunity to fill up their corn cribs.
There is no need of rushing thus
crop of corn onto the market. The
more slowly it is marketed, the bet
ter it will be for the interests of all
concerned. Corn furnishes the prin-
cipal raw material for all kinds of
of live stock, and no man can run q
factory successfully when he buys
his material from day to day and at
a higher price than that of the ter
minal markets, taking into account
the cost of transportation.
Don't let any man imagine that
we have corn to burn, or to throw
away, or to feed in the mud, or to
feed in an unbalanced ration. Wise
Joseph in old Egypt laid up corn"
mot our corn, but small grain in
elevators against series of bad
years. The past experience of the
western country would not lead US
to suppose that we-are ever to have
a series of bad years; but we may
not have as much coin next year as
this. The legitimate demand for
corn for export, for manufacture,
and for feeding, is so great that no
man can can afford to have his farm
operations interefered with by a
shortage in corn.
1t will pay the farmer who has
abundance of corn this year to build
some good cribs, repair his old ones,
and provide III some way plenty of
ventilation for these cribs, tnsn roof
them over. and make the corn 90
just as far as possible.
A vast amount of corn has been
wasted in many ways in past years,
especially by injudicious feeding
feeding corn in mud, feeding it to
stock which did not pay for the feed
ing and would not pay if corn we're
ten cents a bushel, and feeding corn
exclusively. All these evils should
be corrected as soon as possible
Now that we have a good crop Of
corn, let us take care of it. The farm
always looks better with a good crib
of sound corn well covered. 1t is a
sign that the farmer is forellmded,
understands his business and has
good credit at the bank.-Wallace's
Farmer.

Poultry Pickinps,

Bowel trouble in young chicks is
often prevented by the substitution
of scalded milk for water.
A good preparation with which to
clean eggs that are soiled is vinegar
diluted with water. Clean eggs sell
better. Don't you dislike to look at
a basket of nasty-looking eggs even
if you know they are fresh?
1t should be the ambition of every
poultry raiser, no matter how small
his flock, to be the best in his neigh
borhood, to have the best breeds,
the earliest young chicks, the earliest
and best layers.
Grit is as necessary for the poul-
try as milk is for babies. Don't fail
to keep a plentiful supply Of this on
hand. The hen must have lime in
order to build egg shells, as they are
largely composed of this substance.
Hens cannot make lime out of iron,
sand or anything that isn't lime.
Secretary Wilson, of the depart
ment Of agriculture, says that the
hens of the United States last year
laid l,666.O00 dozens of eggs. He

Figures on the light and heat of the
sun are the most startling that can
possibly be presented. The nstrono-
mers measure the amount OF heat and
light emitted by the sun by estimat-
ing that the earth intercepts about the
two billion three hundred millionth

CoRPuLENcE AND SANITY.
The Gospel of Fat ms Applied to the
Mentally Afflicted

The GOkpel of Fat ms Applied to the
Mentally Afflicted.
Are the majority of folk Of weak in
tellect? Is insanity on the increase!
Are we all preparing ourselves for lu-
natic asyluns? These startling ques-
tfons have, occurred to me after read
/ Ing an article in a medical journal on
the gospel Of fat as applied to the
treatment of mental disease" 1t seems
that the more you fatten up the NEIL
tally afflicted the saner they become,
but of course the difficulty lies in pro-
viding the lunatic with adipose tissue,
as there Is nothing like brain disease to
cause too. too solid flesh to melt.
The aim OF most of us nowadays is to
keep down what our transatlantic
friends, with their genius for using the
ugliest word fof everything, uncom-
promisinsly call flesh" We battle. we
massage, we diet, we fly to these and
those waters, we try all manner Of
cures and put ourselves into various
kinds Of straps and pastes and take
violent exercise with the aim Of tining
ourselves down and keeping stoutness
ut bay.
Does this decided disposition on the
part of men and women to avoid cor
pulence and the successful thinning
down" that we notice on all sides por-
tend increase of lunacy? If SO. dieting
and the taking Of waters and massage
ought to be forbidden by act of parlia-
ment. BY the way. Hamlet was fat
and scant of breath, but he was GER
tainly far from sane.-London World.

There is one branch OF trade which
runs on in an even tenor regardless OF
prices and crashes. That Is the laundry
business. People who patronize laun-
dries never economic on their linen.
A man will average about SO many
shirts, collars and cuffs week when
he is cutting down on his drinks and
cigars and his theater tickets. And
this observation recalls the fact that
the laundryman never has any innova-
ton In his business. He will ruin about
SO many shirts and collars and cuffs
every three months and never say u
word about it or make any deduction

states that these eggs would pay the
interest on our national debt. Sure
ly the hen is worthy of recognition.
1t is claimed that a hen will eat
more dirt than an ordinary hog. If
that is SO, it would be well to keep
the poultry house clean, and in that
way not give her chance to satisfy
her appetite in that respect.
Thereare exceptions. Somelocali-
ties have reputation and fitness for
a kind of apple not generally grow
ing in the vicinity. Other localities
have special kind of market and
should cater to it. Early kinds,
like the Williams and Duchess, often
pay best near our large cities where
they can be placed quickly on the
market. But in general it is much
safer to plant the standard variety
and let others mix their trees or test
new ldnds.-Farmers' Tribune.

finally the government sent him to
