Fruits on the Farm,

It has been my observation, that
the farm that has on it complete
array OF fruit-bearing trees, canes and
vines is the farm that sells at a fancy
price in the market. The ordinary
mortal, If he has the money with
which to purchase a farm, will pay a
good deal more for one on which are
the different kinds of fruits growing
in considerable quantities than he will
pay for few farm buildings and bar
rem land. The money value of a we'll
ordered farm is out Of all proportion
20 the money that has been put into it..
AS an Illustration of this I have in
mind a little place on the edge
of a neighboring village. A man had
bought lot for 5000 and put on it
a $500 house. Then he spent few
dollars in trees of various kinds and
set them out. He did nothing more,
except live on the place for few
years and incidentally take care OF
the trees and shrubs. He told me that
he thought he could get $3.50 or $500
for the place If he wanted to.
But in the meantime the little place
had grown into a thing Of beauty, and
anyone passing would say that it had
the best arranged yard on the street
and that the shade trees were arts
tically arranged. A man living on the
street was looking at the place and
admiring it and asked the owner what
he would take for it. ooh, thousand
dollars" he replied, thinking this
price one that would stagger the
other. But the other man quietly said
"I'll take the place." and he did. The
few years of growth in the trees and
shrubs had done the work. They had
been growing into money while the
owner was sleeping.
Fruits on the farm are no less en-
ticing to the buyer, but on the Other
hand endear the farm so to the oc
cupants that they seldom want to lei

Need Less Oxygen Than Men and Al.
ready Have Cold Feet.
Thre women are going with Peary
on his polar exploration trip. But
they are only booked for a part Of the
way. When the real difficulties may
be expected they will turn back to
warmth and civilization.
This is disappointing. If women
want to put a stop to such accusations
as that recently made by Labouchere,
that they cannot fight and therefore
should not vote, they ought not to
back out of such expeditions as that
of Peary
By nature, women are adapted to
discovering the poles. The scientists
tell us that women breathe with the
upper part of their lungs and need less
oxygen than men. That is why they
can stand corsets and keep warm in
diaphanous garments when man
wants a summer overcoat. That is
why they are so partial to ices. That
is why they seldom complain of cold
feet after tripping through the slush
in slippers. What is needed, in order
to speedily find the North pole, is an
expedition whose members won't get
cold feet.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Judge Peabody,s lrate Client.

Some years ago the husband of an
irish lady in Portland, Maine, found
himself in difficulty, requiring the ser
vices of an attorney. So the wife
who managed affairs, went to lead

by the other side. Inquiring who
she'd better employ, Lawyer Peabody
now justice Of the supreme judicia
court of Maine, was recommended. He
was engaged, but the opposite part,
won.
A few days later an acquaintance
referring to her misfortune, asked
the lady if she had counsel.

The BLIGHT spore.

Professor Craig. of Cornell Uni

been studying the cause of blight
on the pear tree, apple and
other fruits. No greater result has
been obtained, and none more neces.
sary to the understanding of blight
than his discovery of the character of
the spore itself. 1t has always been
supposed that blight spores were
blown by the wind. and that certain
warm winds, in moist weather, carried
the spores to numerous trees, where
they terminated quickly. But he has
discovered that the spore is glutinous.
that is, sticky, and is transported only
by adhesion to some moving object.
The object most commonly used as a
point of adhesion for the spore is the
honey bee. Hence the problem re.
solves itself into several others, one
Of which is the coating Of the tree

The Dukes Little Joke.

The late Duke of Buccleuch pos
sessed fund of genuine humor.
One day his grace called at the
manse of a parish where he was the
sole heritor.
"Now," said the duke to the min
lister, you're not to bring any bust
ness before me to-day. have just
come in a friendly way to pay my re
spects to you
After getting his grace some re
freshment the minister said:
"You must excuse me, your grace
but want you to take look at the
church for a few minutes. l won't
detain you"
They went to the church, where the
minister pointed to a decided damp
ness on the wall facing the pulpit
and asked that it might be remedied
"I'll tell you, Mr.. how we'll
easily cure that. Well remove the
pulpit to that wall, and then it will
soon be dry enough"

Good FOLIAGE: Good Fruit.

There is saying among some
orchardists that good foliage means
good fruit. While this is not true in
every respect, yet it is true that good
foliage is necessary if we are to have
large amount of fruit. The growing
apple cannot use food material that
has come up through the tree directly
from the roots. 1t must pass up
through the tree and into the limbs
and leaves, in which latter place it is
combined with the carbon from the
air, and is then ready to be carried
back to the fruit, into which it passes
and is used in the development of the
tender cells that form the flesh of the
apple as well as every other part of it
1t is obvious, therefore, that the
amount OF fruit the tree can produce
will be regulated largely by the amount
OF material that can be prepared in
the leaves. If, therefore, blight and
rust, or caterpillars are permitted to
destroy the leaves, the preparation OF
food is stopped, and no more
fruit can be developed. Many farmer
has seen his trees defoliated when the
fruit was half grown, and has seen
that fruit ripen without increasing in
size. This was because of this same
lack of foliage. Therefore the protec.
ton of the foliage becomes one obthe
most important objects of the intelli.
gent orchardist. Therefore he sprays
his trees with fungicides and with in.
secticides that he may have a healthy
foliage during the entire growing sea.
