across which he would have to pass.
In the forest the royal train. which
had left Hanover shortly after the
Kaiser, came in sight.

Twenty-four hours before admins

BIRDS DESERVE WELL OF US.

A French naturalist asserts that if
the world should become birdless men
would not inhabit 1t after nine years
time, in spite of an the sprays and
poisons that would be manufactured
for the destruction of insects. The
bugs and slugs would simply eat up
our orchards and crops.
There is no telling what would be-
come Of the farmers if II were not for
various species OF small birds that eat
the seeds of weeds and so diminish
the reproduction Of those noxlous
plants. Some Of the most pestiferous
weeds yield incredible numbers Of
seeds. single plant maturing as
many as 100000 in a season, so that a
single individual, If unchecked, might
conceivably produce in the spring Of
the third year 1OO0O,00O,O 600 healthy
offspring.
Against foes so enormously prolific
the farmer is almost helpless and they
would likely oyerwhelm him, but for
his friends the birds, which flock in
myriads each fall and winter to the
agricultural districts and feed upon
the ripened weed seeds.

WATERING TREES.

Unless the owner Of trees under
stands some of the more important
principles of growth, there is danger
that he will, when applying water, do
more harm than good To apply water
in small quantities through the
droughty season is to cause the roots
In the ground to turn toward the sur
face and grow in that direction. Then
when watering is discontinued for any
reason the roots dry out much more
quickly than If they had not been wa
tered at ALL When water is applied
to trees it should be in sufficient
abundance to soak the ground to a
depth of several feet. The roots will
then not turn up to get moisture. If
it is necessary to apply but little wa
ter at time II should not be put on
the surface of the ground. Dig hole
and put in large piece Of drain pipe
so that the water being thrown into
this pipe or piece of tile will soak
deep into the ground. In case of not
having drain pipe or piece of tile, a
hole can be made sufficiently deep to
act as a reservoir. Let the water soak
into the ground from this hole. The
idea is to get the water to the roots
from some other direction rather
than from the surface Of the ground.

WHEN A QUEEN BEE is LOST.

It is very important to be able to
learn at once when queen is lost
during early summer. The loss of a
queen from hive even for single
day, will make a marked difference
in the strength of the colony, for a
good queen will lay from 1000 to 1900
eggs in a day at this season. What
ever you do be careful and not drop
the queen off the combs when hand
ling them at this time OF the year.
and do not interfere with her work by
changing combs about to expose
brood.
BY a little attention you may be
able to detect a queenless hive by
the manner in which the bees act on
the outside. When they stand around
In a care-for-nothing manner and no
bees going in with pollen, it would be
well to open the hive and take a look
at them. If you find eggs and worker
brood you may be quite sure the
queen is there; If not, go ahead and
find out If there is no queen. Find
ing none, proceed at once to take a
frame Of brood from another hive and
watch If they start queen cells in
about "a hours. II not, then they
have been some time queenless, and
II such Is the case, get them queen

FAITH IN THE FARM.

When man loses faith in his farm
he is In bad plight, and under such
circumstances It win be very dificult
for him to make anything; therefore
he had better get out of the business
as soon as he can.
The farm should be looked upon as
a business investment, the same as
is any other enterprise. A farmer
should expect to realize on his invest
ment in proportion to the skill and
capital that he puts into it. If he
sells from of the farm everything
produced without returning anything
TO the soil, as some seem to think it
can be done. 1t will not be many years
before 1t will be found that there is
nothing more to sell, unless 1t be a
few barren acres.
Considerable live stock should be
kept on every farm, that there may
be a large amount OF manure to apply
to the soil. 1t should be the constant
study Of the farmer to make the farm
pay; this can best be done in connec-
tion with stock husbandry.
The hog is a good assistant, both as
to keeping up the fertility OF the farm
and in helping to balance up on the
right side of the ledger at the close
of the year Don't forget the hens;
they can be made to play an import
ant part.
Some farmers err in not giving
enough culture to their crops. When
either filling the soil for crop or put
ting II in, It pays to do It thoroughly;
better harrow the ground until 1t is
well fined and pulverized. In no case
slight the work.
Do business with the farm the same
as you would with the bank. Indeed
many times money can be more profit
ably invested In the farm than in the
bank. improvements are always in
order and the farm should constantly
be getting better. either through added
fertility to the soil, or improvements
in other ways. painting or putting
some needed additions to the build
ings. or perhaps by undertaking
some field. or piping water to some
OF the buildings. Each year should
witness something in the line Of i'm
provement on every farm.

INTRODUCTION OF THE PEACH.

There is an interesting story about
the introduction of the peach into
America more than 200 years ago. In
Maryland there is an old estate called
Peach Blossom, which was the seat
OF the historical Robins family, who
came from England. One of the fam
lily, Thomas Robins, was great
traveller and roamed all over the ac-
cessible regions Of the world In Per
sia he found the peach, a fruit then
unknown in England and America,
end brought back some peach stones
which were planted on the Robins es-
tate. When the trees blossomed the
flowers were SO much admired that
the name OF the estate was changed
from Arcadia to Peach Blossom. A
stone tablet once gave the date of the
planting Of the peach stone, but it has
disappeared in the general wreck and
ruin of the place. the glories which
departed many years ago.

FREQUENT CULTIVATION OF
CORN.

Corn should be frequently cultivat-
ed, the frequency depending on the
soil. On soil that is heavy and re-
tentive OF moisture 1t is not necessary
to cultivate so frequently as on Tight
soil that. tends to lose its moisture
rapidly. Cultivation should be given
at from one to two weeks apart The
old plan of cultivating corn two or
three times Is being abandoned by the
best and most skillful corn growers.
The corn plant demands great deal
of water and especially so when 1t is
nearing maturity and is forming the
kernel. The lack or cultivation has
frequently been the cause Of the plant
not receiving enough water to mature
the kernels, which, when ripe, were
small and shriveled, standing loosely
on the cob. This was because the wa
ter was not sufficient to convey to the
kernel the necessary food. Water is
the conveyor In the building up of all
plants and It must be supplied in
abundance II the work is to be com.
pls.ely done. The cultivation prevents
its escape from the surface Of the
ground and compels 1t to enter the
corn plant and escape by way of the
leaves after 1t has finished its work of
food conveying Therefore the corn
should be cultivated as long as 1t is
convenient to do SO.
