FALLING AWAY OF ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH

How to Grow Devberr,e,.


In the Fruit Grower. j. NJ. Austin
gives Ills experience in growing dew
berries. He does not believe in the
trellis system, but treats the plants in
Il way to make bushes Of them, so that
they become self-supporting. The first
year .he ends are clipped off when
about n foot long, being done from time
to time all summer, as needed. This
makes Il round, bushy plant by the end
of the season. Then when blooms are
dropping and fruit begins to form, the
new g'owth Is clipped off Mt about to
5 Inches from the ground.
This. is done twice while the fruit Is
growing and ripening, us it keeps the
growth away from the pickers and
sends more sustenance to the fruit. As
soon az the fruit Is gathered clip out
all shoots that bore the fruit close to
the ground, that the growth which Will
bear the coming year may. be stronger.
Should the bushes be too thick in
spring. thin out by cutting away some
of the growth. Mr.. Austin has found
that rather heavy soil is preferred !;
but 1t is true that in their wild state
they are found In soil not ut all heavy,
and thriving well, too.
Cultivation is great help to the
dewberry, and as the roots are of a
penetrating nature they are not apt to
be broken by the harrow when working
the ground, as happens, with black
berries.

ETY. name and all about 1t; for. mind
you. the city man is ever ready to add
to his stock of knowledge. His business
and city training has taught him that
knowledge protects him from being
taken In. We once saw man who was
very fond of apples, buy barrel Of
King. The size and color of the fruit
attracted him, and after he had eaten
a few of them he did not want any
thing else. Some months later l re-
celyed G letter from him, asking If 1
remembered his purchase, and wanting
to know the name of the variety so
that he could get more. Other sorts
had been offered him, but he wanted
King. l believe that IL growers would
select limited number of the best
sorts Oh any fruit and grow those only,
the returns would show that 1t would
be good policy Identify in the mind
of the consumer some frst-class fruit
and he will always buy that sort, while
now he Is more or less confused.

Forest. ana Rainfall.

The exact part played by forests in
conserving rainfall is very difficult of
demonstration, although MI unpreju-
diced minds are willing to admit Its
efficiency in this particular, and there
are hundreds of we'll authenticated
cases where countrysides have been
reduced to barren wastes by the de-
structlon of the natural forest covering.
The part which the forests play In
the arability of Il region is being
studied by the reclamation service in
conjunction with their recovery Of arid
lands.
After studying the physical charac-
ter of several streams tributary to tho
Hudson. and determining periodically
the relative flow in each, the conclu-
sion has been reached that tempera-
ture and precipitation being equal, the
relative regularity Of stream flow Is
determined, first, by the topographic
and geologic conditions, and, second, by
the character and extent Of the forest
cover.

and none regret it or feel it more keen
ly than they.
The facts as nearly as can be learn
by her daughter. young lady about
twenty -four years of age, went to DR..
Arthur's office to fill 10 o'clock APP
pointment for the extraction of a num-
Der of teeth. After examining the pa
TENTS mouth, the doctor suggested
that she take some sort of an anaes-
thetic. Mrs. Apple approved of the
idea and suggested chloroform She
was asked who she preferred to ad-
minister the anaesthetic and after Some
discussion suggested DR.. Smith.
DR.. Smith was called, and after max
ing an examination of the ladys heart
and her physical condition saw no
danger in administering the chloro-
form. Just at the time DR.. j. w. Bailey
stepped into the office to fill an APP
pointment and upon invitation remain
ed during the administration of the
anaesthetic and the extraction of the
teeth.
The three physicians present all con-
cur in the statement that the patient
took the anaesthetic very easily, that it
did not take an unusual amount to pro-
duce the desired effect and that during
the extraction of the nine or ten teeth
not taking over five minutes, she show
ed no sign of collapsing.
Suddenly they saw the change come.
They at once resorted to the proper
methods of stimulation. The heart
ceased to beat almost instantly. For
over an hour all known stimulants
and treatments were resorted to with
out avail.
Mrs. Apple was dead. Either tom
