The .ksiffeIJrl.. pear, +,

The Keffer pear is the most prom
inent pear being grown east of the
Rocky Mountains. While it is not
so highly recommended as the Bart
lett, yet it is to-day more widely
grown than even that famous pear.
The Keiffer occupies the place among
pears that the Ben Davis does among
apples. Like the Ben Davis, its
quality Is fair to poor, yet the tree
Is such heavy bearer and can be so
depended upon to produce a crop,
that we find orchardists planting it
more extensively than any Of the other
pears. It may be that it's poor quail
ty comes largely from our ignorance
OF how 1t should be handled. An or
chardist tells the writer that the Keif
fer Is a very good pear If allowed to
hang on the tree until fully 'matured
and then laid away in dark place
to- mellow. In such a place it should
be kept for six weeks, and when taken
out will have a good flavor and a
proper texture for eating. He says
that usually they are picked while
immature, although apparently OF
good size, and that that accounts for
the very pronounceable lack of flavor
In this pear. am not at all sure
that his opinion is correct, but GER
ta1nly now and then we do find some
ke1ffer pears that are very good for
eating raw. The principal growers of
kelners say that they do not consider
1t as dessert pear, but as a cooking
pear; but for a cooking pear we need
as high a flavor as for any other
purpose. II there is any flavor in
the keiher pear that ordinary treat.
ment does not bring out, it should be
secured through better treatment.
When large orchards of Keiffer
pears are planted, they should in no
case be planted by themselves. Some
ether pear that blooms at the same
time should be planted with them.
The CARRIER is regarded as the best
Tor this purpose. The Keiffer pear,
more than any other Of which we
know, requires to be cross-pollenized.
When left to the pollenization with it's
own pollen, it is a very uncertain
bearer, and more than one great or.
chard has been cut down because the
owner did not know what to do to
insure fruitfulness. Where an or.
chard OF Kei1fer pears has been
brought to bearing age, and no trees
for cross pollenizing it have been
planted, years of time will be saved
by grating the branches with the
varieties that should have been used

They Took It in Turns.

Lady Broome, who in her youthful
days in New Zealand used to teach the
shepherds reading and writing, tells
in her Colonial Memories" of two

But they never came together, and
their brand new. suit Of shepherds
plaid always had strange effect.

"There's difficulty about the clothes,

Expensive Mulchinq.


Professor Green OF Ohio some years
ago carried on a number of expert
ments relative to the mulching of or
chards. He took orchards growing in
natural sod and mulched them with
straw that cost 50 per ton on the
farm where it was raised. In addi
tion to this cost, there was a cost fol
hauling. The grass in the orchard
was moved and left on the ground
The test was a comparative one, hall
OF the orchard being mulched, and
the other half kept cultivated during
the growing season. There was Sc
we're drouth that: year, and the fruit
of the mulched trees withstood the
drouth much better than the fruit on
the cultivated ground. At the end OF
the season the results were so much
in favor of the mulched orchard that
the professor declared his belief that
mulching material would pay even at
So per ton. We. would not, however,
recommend our readers to undertake
mulching experiments when the
mulching material costs as much as
it did in that experiment in Ohio
Usually straw suitable for mulching
can be purchased at s. or 81 a ton
Even this is unnecessary on many
farms where there is a very large
amount of material going to waste in
the form Of swamp grass, sedges, cat.
tails and weeds. Some of our great
growths of sweet clover, stretching
for miles along the highway, could be
moved and used for mulching pur.
poses, after a slight drying to prevent
their too rapid decomposition. II
mulching paid Professor Green, when
the raw material at a distance cost
So per ton, it certainly should pay on
the. farm where it costs only the
trouble of hauling it.

Modern Social Demands.

One curious phase of taking our.
selves so seriously is the enormously
increased Importance of the interest
ing. Society fairly bristles with the
interesting. Sometimes one wonders
where the uninteresting do. Modern
society demands that you should be
something or do something, or say
something, or at least pretend to. It
is understood that you must be cele-
brated or notorious, or we'll adver-
tised, or cheeky and even dishonest,
if it is on magnificent scale. At any
rate, you must take yourself seriously
and get a swelled head.-Rortnightly

Exhibition Coops.

Many of our readers at this time of
year are making coops for
the exhibition of fowls. The
usual size now in favor is %
inches long, 18 inches wide, and 30
inches high. The length extends from
the front of the coop to the back.
rather than from side to side. This
makes it possible to place a larger
number of fowls in the same row, and
makes it easier to keep drafts of the
birds.
