BEST PEARS FOR PROFIT.

A mixed orchard OF apples and pears
is hardly to be recommended for farm
conditions. The pear trees live rs
long as the apples, and some varieties
require about as much room. Hence
they are likely to crowd in the orchard.
The fruit gets mixed at harvest time
and is a nuisance to gather. Most i'm
portant of all, the pears require for
best success a different soil and treat.
ment from apples. They DO better in
a moistcr, heavier soil and require
more enrichment and better cultlva-
tlon. The Keiffers are perhaps an eX-
ception, also the CARRIERS, which are
so extremely vigorous that they will
thrive on common farm soil under
farm cultivation such as the apple Or
chard receives. But even with these,
the writer after some experience, can
see no special advantage in mix
ing the two kinds Of fruit in plant
ing, Other pears will make only a
stunted growth on medium soil such as
does very well Cor apples,-AmcricaD

GRATING MATERIALS

A great many fruit gorwcrs prefer
buying stocks and selecting sclons
from bearing trees for grating to buy
ing trees two or three years old from
nwserymen, says G, o. Greene in
Country Gentleman. There are many
more who do n little grating in the
tops Of old natural" or on undesirable
trees.
Those who have been doing a little
in the line Of grating and who have
been using the old beeswaX, resin and
tallow wax, feel the need Of q cheaper
ingredient than beeswaX. BeeswaX has
steadily advanced in price until the
good pure wax costs anything inside
OF q dollar q pound. The ordinary
grating wax, as is well known, con-
sists Of four pounds resin, two pounds
beeswaX and one pound tallow.
Though there are many other wakes
on the market, this one seems to be
the general favorite in most localities.
A wax much cheaper, which has been
used at the Massachusetts experiment
station with the best Of results, has
parafIine substituted for the beeswaX.
The parafiine may be purchased at any
grocery or drug store for not over
twenty-five cents n pound, This wax
is put together and heated in the same
way as the wax made according to the
bceswaX formula. The wax made after
this formula works rs well OF better
than the common wax on either cloth,
paper or string. For indoor work and
for outdoor work it is to be preferred,
in many respects, to the old style wax.
The one difficulty with the wax seems
to come from the fact that the para
fine does not run evenly. and after the
ingredients have been put together
one often has to add more resin or
parafiine to make n harder or a softer
wax, rs the case may be.
For wrapping materials, we have
used string, strips Of paper and strips
of cloth. There are several reasons
why the CRATER does rot like to use
twlne as a means Of wrapping, one Of
the principal being a loss Of time, as
compared with the paper or cloth, We
have had the best success with thin,
shelf worn cloth from some dry goods
store. Sometimes whole bolts OF
cloths may be had for almost nothing,
and often some such material as dress
lining will be so rotten as to tear al
most as easily as paper. Rotten cloth
like this has the advantage over strong
er cloth, that it can be torn off after
the graft is wrapped, without disturb
ing the union Of stock and scion.
With paper, we have practiced cut
ting ordinary manila wrapping paper
in three-inch strips, two or three feet
long. We wax one side only This is
done by holding both ends Of the strip
and running the lower side through
the wax until 1t is well coated, when
it is removed and the surplus scraped
off. The strips are then hung across
a board or line to cool. These strips
are cut into inch strips, and the wrap
ping is done as it is with the cloth.

Memorial day was observed in rather
a quiet way in Dickinson this year. On
Sunday morning a memorial sermon
was preached by Rev. F. W. Gress at
the Methodist church. On Tuesday,
Decoration day, the Co. K members
formed at the opera house and marched
to the cemetery where three volleys
were fired and taps we're sounded. The
company placed a pillow of flowers on
the grave OF Harold Davis, their COM
rade in the Philippines. The veterans
of the Civil War rode to the cemetery
and decorated the graves of Civil War
veterans with flags. Quite a company
of citizens attended the informal cere-
mony consisting of prayer and an
address by Rev. F. w. Gress.

The N. P. "Park Folder" issued Just
before the park season opened June l,
is a veritable park guide book. 1t gives
a brief history Of the peoples "Wonder-
land" and contains explicit directions
how to reach it. No point seems to
have been omitted that the traveller can
wish to know about-points of interest,
hotels, transportation, etc. If he wishes
rest he is told which hotel is best; if he
wishes to fish, the folder tells him where
the speckled beauties are to be found.
The roads and hotels have been won
derfully improved in the past few years.
and the folder contains views of several
of the finest hotels. The Park is an
ideal spot in which to spend a holiday
and get a new lease of life. The folder
can be secured from A. M Cleland,

BOYS READING ROOM.
Appeal Is Issued BY the Trustees OF

The following appeal to the public was
issued Yesterday by the ladies in charge
of the Boys Reading club:
Birmingham, Ala.
"Dear Sir-Through the Boys club Of
birmingham many Of us are endeavor-
ing to give to the poor boys especially
the newsboys of the city, opportunity for
education and good association, in order
that they may be developed toward good

of the next decade, and he will be either
a good citizen and a "a litter or a crimi-
nal outcast leaner,' to be cared for by
the state in much the same proportion
as his early associations and ambitions
are clean and healthful or filthy and dis
torted.
THE bright boy given a chance to learn
and develop a healthful physical and mem
tai atmosphere In fifteen years makes a
worthy man. with an earning capacity
of at least $500 per year. If 100 such
men could be developed In the next ten
years from our material which other
wise Is largely waste. Birmingham has
increased her earning capacity $4,000
per annum, which equals per cent in
terest on an investment OF S2oOoO0o. Biz
mingham would make great effort to
locate a 100000 enterprise. and yet we
are overlooking this latent productive
power constantly with us.
ut does not take s2,000,000 to make this
enterprise a success, but the Boys club
does need $1,000 yearly to pay their ex-
penses, including the pay or teacher
in common school branches and manual
training. Won't you help them by be-
coming an associate member of the club2

RABBIT FOOT SALOON is TO BE
THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED
CHAIRS ARE STOLEN FROM
MANY FRONT VERANDAS

chairs It is supposed that they are sold
to negroes around the city.
1t Is estimated that the chairs stolen
last month were valued at between $500
and 5000 Ne one seems to have ever
seen the thieves either In the act of steal
Ing the chairs or while they were carry
ing the chairs away from the residences.
II Is supposed by the police department
that most of the chairs have been stolen
by tho same negro, and that he disposes
of them to other negroes In the city. IN
this way the negro could sell a hundred
chairs In month and never be caught
up with
