THE ASCENT OF MT. WILSON.

A party Of tourists in Los AnPe es
were going tC make the ascent oil
4 Mount Wilson. One of their mum
I Der, a clergyman and great book low
err, decided on visit TO a book store
before joining his companions.
Nov, don't you stay too long, they
cautioned him.
The suggestion was in vain, howcy
or, for no sooner was he among his
beloved volumes than he forgot time,
tide and eternity. When he came to,
IT. was long past the hour of the on
gagement.
He was going to make the ascent Of
Mount Wilson, however, and the fact
that he had fallen by the waysd"
should not deter him SO he tardlIy
kept his appointments; but, Of course,
his friends were gone on long before
It was growing dark; but he had
developed a singleness of purpose,
quite distinct and apart from his love
OF books He would ascend Mount
Wilson regardless. The only buro
he could get had but one eye and was
named Rebecca; a combination which
seems fraught with possibilities.
Together, he and Rebecca hit the
trail, Rebecca plodded stolidly on
while her rider communed with him
self The darkness intensified. It
wrapped them about like a garment
Il chung closer than brother. III
grew thick enough to cut with a.
knife.
The lone rider amid grand but in
visible scenery, felt horror and grim
death stalk about him in CHASTITY com
pany. He dared not ride farther lie
could not go back, 1t was impossible
to stay where he was, What could
he do?
Rebecca Of the single eye patiently
awaited the result of his dc1bera
lions Then slowly and gingorIy ne
dismountod, cautiously crept To the
rear grasped the end of her tail firm
~ with both hands and gave the sig
mel to move on. And she Of the one
eye and the sure foot led him safely
to the summit and his friends who
were there.
Why she did not kick him into eter
nifty after the manner Of her Kind, IS |
unknown. Perhaps having but one
eye. she has also but one idea and
that Is mountain climbing instead of
Kicking Perhaps she understands
the value of the tourist crop and the
Of preserving every atom
Of It. Perhaps but what does it
matter?
AS the guide remarked senteutious
ly, 1T Is well that he had Rebecca.

Best Hens for Settine.

1t has been claimed that the henA

when the combs are large. bright and

breeds which large combs lay more

Pruning the Roots Of Trees.

That the cutting away OF large

trees are small may make but little

case Is different when the tree IL OF

serve all the roots when digging,
customers, too, urge the same thing;
and nature itself has provided Ger

and the holding of the tree In place
says the Practical Farmer The fact
the body of roots Is capable OF absorb

tihers which push out In spring from
the ends of the roots are the principal
feeders, but the thicker roots, on
which the tihCrs are, also absorb
moisture with which TO sustain a tree

Loss of Young Trees.

A serious loss to the orchardist is
the loss OF young trees during tho
winter season, amounting In some in.
stances to fourth part OF a growing
orchard. This injury, says writer IN
New England Homestead comes from
three sources: Sun scald, yermin and
severe winds. The loss from sun
gregate, be something great No
trees unprotected can escape these
dangers. Sun scald is caused by the
alternate freezing and thawing OF the
bark OF the trees while the wood and
root system are In a frozen, dormant
aondtion. II may be easily recognized
by the color and condition Of the bark,
which turns black and dies, sometimes
separating from the wood.
TO prevent injury from sun scald IL
IL only necessary to protect the trunk
from the direct rays Of tIhe sun. That
which checks he rays but does not
obstruct them ~ best for the purpose.
Wire netting wrapped about the trunk,
IN more than one thickness IF necos-
sary affords ample protection Wool
veneer, which may be obtained for the
purpose OF berry box manufacturers,
Is much used and Is cheaper than the
wire screen. Some growers set the
trees with the trunk leaning slightly to
the southwest This answers the pur.
pose In many cases.
Much may be done to prevent injury
from this source by properly fertiliH'
ing the land and giving good culture
Frequent cultivation during the grow.
Ing season, with plenty Of available
fertility In the soil OF promote vigor
GUS, healthy, normal growth, tends toI
place the tree In n condition to resist
injury. Regular, systematic pruning
should be given, as the removing of
much growth In limb at one time
leaves the trunk and remainder or
branches open to the direct rays orI
the sun, by which they arc not In
iure1. AS protection against vermin
either the wire screen or wood veneer
Will prove ample. Az n protection
against rabbits the trunk should be
guarded to hight OF two or three
feet, MS the accommodating SHOWS OF
winter enable the rabbits to reach
higher. Tramping the snow about the
base OF the tree is preventative
against the workings Of mice. as Is
also the banking OF the tree with
earth
Much may be done to discourage
the presence Of mice by removing all
rubbish from the orchard and par
tlcularly by seeing that there IL no
stubble, grass or other material near
the base of the tree before snow falls
Notice the runs OF mice In the grass
and clover fields upon the coming or
spring. Take the hint ana see that no
such favorable conditions lead such
vcrmin right up to the trunks OF
Young, unprotected fruit trecs. Lastly,
Young fruit trees arc sometimes in.
Iured by severe winter winds. The
only remedy IL wind-broak, which
should have been planned for and the

winter winds, but IL valuable also be-
