which he paid when a boy to the
"Autocrat of the Breakfast Table"
After breakfast DR.. Holmes took the
boy into basement room, which was
fitted up as a. complete carpenters
shop. and gave him the following ad
vice, which he considered would be OF
more value to him than anything he
had ever written:

THE APPLE ORCHARD.

The Cornell station has carried On
an orchard survey in Wayne county.
N. r., to become acquainted with the
area q orchards. treatment. age. dis

would give a good idea Of the requisi.
ties for successful apple culture. The
titled orchards gave q better average
yield than those in sod. It was found
that humus IL needed more than mere
plant food. Spraying was profitable.
The yield was greater when the trees
were Q to ~ rods apart than where
closer. Good drainage showed its Of.
feet In Increased vigor OF tree and de.
crease In diseases.
A part of the conclusions follows
"Tillage. fertilization. pruning and
spraying are the chief factors that en-
ter into good care Of an orchard. One
or more Of these may sometimes be
omitted or poorly done without any
serious results. To some extent till
age may replace fertilizer, or vice
versa. A thrifty orchard may resist
the attacks Of disease. But the
most successful apple-grower IL the
man who keeps q proper balance be-
tween all four agencies and does not
expect good care in one respect ia
make up for neglect In other ways.
-. But these factors are not all. The
successful man must study; he must
learn something Of the life processes
Of the apple tree; he must know the
most serious insect and fungous dis
eases, and why certain treatment IL
effective in combating them; he must
know something OF the drainage
humus and other soil problems...
No set of rules cover all these points
The apple-srower must 60 into th'
orchard and get acquainted with bill
trees. Nor Is success in orchardint
wholly dependent on q large crop
There Is Q business side to the Ques
tion. Does 1t pay to grow cheap ap
pies to be evaporated or to be sold a
the lowest market price. or would
pay better to grow first-class articl
that costs more and then command
the highest price?. The grower q

drag, which is highly recommended by
the commission" -~-'-~'s''
The commission considers that the
matter Of building proper culverts Is OF
very great Importance, as no road can
be kept in good condition when the
! old-fashioned wooden culverts are
used. It claims that these wooden cul-
verts are one Of the most common ways
by which the road funds are wasted.
A road officer Is quoted as saying that
in one spot alone he had dug out the
remains Of no less than seven wooden
culverts. and that at least one or two
more had been left buried at the same
place It is said that the life Of these
culverts Is SO short that the money
put into them is practically wasted.
1ne commission points out that while
lumber is becoming higher in price and
poorer In quality. new discoveries of
cement rock and new factories and i'm
proved methods are making cement
cheaper from year to year, although
the quality is growing better. In addi-
tion. It has been discovered that ce.
ment masonry car be reinforced and
greatly strengthened with steel. SO that
cement concrete cnlverts are now being
constructed In many states and are
giving excellent satisfaction.
For culverts and for small bridges

Nat top is recommended "a more eco.
nomical TO build than the arch design.

require very solid abutmsnts. while the

PUNcTUREs IN SOFT FRUITS
Found That Bees Are Not the Great
Enemies Of the Grape, Peach
and Plum. 40.

It has long been believed that the
bee Is the great destroyer Of grapes,
peaches and plums by puncturing
them and starting them TO rotting.
Many q time bees have been seen
drinking the sap exuding from such
punctures. 1t has taken q long time
70 sxonerste the bee from this charge.
II Is now found that most OF the IN.
jury is done by crickets and June
bugs. Prof. Garman Of the Kentucky
station took up this matter and set a
watch to find which insects were pune
turing the grapes. peaches and plums.
He found two varieties Of tree crick-
ets working vigorously at night cutting
holes in the fruits named. He ex-
presses the belief that these crickets
are the chief eulprits in puncturing
thin-s skinned fruit. One variety Of
June-bug was also found engaged in
the same business. Many of our hor-
ticulturists and bee men will be grati-
fed to learn of this new evidence In
behalf Of the bee.

VIRTUES or MINERALS.
Medicinal Watera and Hot Springs
Have Long RusslAd acisn-
tista.


The medicinal hot springs In some
parts Of Europe and the natural hot
waters owned by the United States
government at Hot Springs, Ark, have
always puzzled science, for, while the
curative effect of the hot water was
beyond doubt. no chemical analysis
ever revealed anything to satisfactOr-
lily account for 1t, says the London
Lancet. 1t could hardly be supposed
that few grains per gallon of chalk,
sulphate of lime, common salt and SO
on. could have any marked beneficial
influence. The waters of Bath. Bux-
ton, Contrexeville and Hot Springs,
Ark, exhibit comparatively feeble,
degree of naturalization, and yet there
can be no doubt Of their therapeutic
value. Nor can 1t be supposed that a
water which Is naturally hot can have
greater therapeutic effects than would
be gained by the similar use of aTti-
ficially heated water. So far, then, the
findings of the physicist and the chem
list do not afford q satisfactory hy-
pothesis in regard to the therapeutic
value of such waters.
The question now arises whether the
fact that these waters are radioactive
will supply any explanation. Most, II
not all. Of the thermal springs In Eu-
rope which have been examined have
been found to contain In slightly vary
ing qualities argon and helium and in
the majority of cases these waters
have been found to be distinctly RADIO
active. Indeed, the presence Of argon
and helium would appear to be insep-
arabic from radioactive properties.
We seem here to be getting some light
at length on what has long been an
enigma, that of the two waters show
ing the same chemical composition as
regards their saline constituents the
one of natural origin is distinctly su.
perior, therapeutically speaking, to the
one artifcally compounded.
The fact is that natural watel
yelling up from the earth is at thu
moment Of It's discharge from II!
source radioactive, while ordinar!
! drinking water, rain water, we'll wate
and the like do not generally exhibi
this property to any extent. Further
since the property Of radioactivity 1
rapidly evanescent the emanat1ol
quickly vanishing, 1t follows that II tn
benefit derived from undergoing
course Of waters Is due to the radio
activity of those waters. the treatmen
should obviously take place near tn
source Of the water--in other words

are showing q maximum degree Q
