Much can be done in the school to-

that when Arbor Day rolls around a
tree should he planted by each juve-
nile member of the family. Unless the

A SCHOOL TREE NURSERY.
Certainly there could be nothing
more fascinating than the starting Of a
tree nursery, Of several good varieties.
in each school ground. These nurser.
les could be started from the actual
seed, acorns. beech nuts. hickory nuts.
chestnuts. seeds from fir cones. and
the seeds of other trees thriving in
the locality, and all these could be
gathered by the children, and brought
in and planted by them Then after
they had reached the proper age for
transplanting, say two years, the class
would, in an afternoon, visit dozen
homes. and participate in the trans
planting Of the seedlings. into their
permanent locations. There Ia an in

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY
Two essentials of perfect packing
of apples are honesty and uniformity
that is the apples in the middle or
bottom of the pack. whether 1t be a
box or barrel, should be just as good
as those on top and all perfect; all of
an even size and properly colored and

seeing worm holes, their eye-sight is
deficient. Where there is fruit un-
ion, the Idaho bulletin suggests that
a rule should be adopted forbfddinS
any members thereof from doing their
own picking, but, they should pro
fit by the employment of the same bodJ
of trained pickers successfully at the
various orchards. Even the isolated
growers should endeavor to have
group of expert pickers, and employ
the same ones, as far as possible, year
after year. This is the way to bnlio
up a reputation that has a great cash
value.
PACKING IN BARRELS
While the simplest method of pack
ing apples is the old barrel of the east
in which the bottom and top are faced,
the apples in the middle being simply
poured in, this is a slovenly, not to
say deceitful method, for 1t requires
no grading expert to sort out the best
ones for facing. The Western box
method. on the other hand, is more
desirable, especially in cases where one
wishes to cater to the fancy trade. one
Of the pretty points about the Dox
package is that the exact number OF
apples contained therein is always
known, and if stamped on the box as 1t
should be, gives information much ap-
preciated by the buyer. or course this
only applies where the packer adopts
one particular method OF placing the
apples in the box.

THE COUNTRY HONE,
Lecturer Advocates S(nnu lndepeu
dent Homes. Each OF Acre Of

An address on The Significance of
the Country Home was delivered by
Edward II. Chandler, secretary of the
Twentieth Century Club at the recent
graduating exercises of the School of
Domestic Science of the Boston Young
Women's Christian Association. In ad-
vocating deliberate system of train
ing nature study by means Of school
gardens, he said: Most important of
all is the beginning of a national move
ment for the making OF home
crofts" or small independent homes
with perhaps an acre to enable eacn
family to find out the true values of
rural life. 1t would be an absurd er-
ror to suppose that such homes are now
lacking, There are multitudes through
out the land. What is new Is that these
homes are coming at last to their own.
Instead OF continuing to be '"c insig-
nificant haunts OF ones childhood. Of
which one who has risen to distinction
is expected to be little ashamed. they
are being sought out as typical of the
best in home life and as models to be
reproduced in essentials with some
adaptations to the new needs Of the
times.
FLOWERS AND BIRDS.
To grow up. Mr.. Chandler said. with
the flowers and shrubs and trees ana
to learn to care for the birds, sQuir-
rels, rabbits and domestic animals is
training whose influence on character
can never be over-estimated An acre
OF ground Is enough for Natures pur-
poses II he who lives on II wishes to
be her pupil and helper. The country
home makes possible the simplicity Of
living and fosters true democracy. II
Is both noteworthy and somewhat pa.
thetic that hosts of city dwellers should
rush to welcome and listen to the pro
phet OF the simple life who came to
us from France. Yet he had no other
message than that OF the country home
Live among the real things Of life In
contact with elementary forces. Live
above conventionality. Learn to be
simple in your tastes and straight
forward In your motives. Be a good
neighbor. and true friend This is
the life which the country home fos-
ters. There you may not have 30 much
money TO handle. but you do not need
II. Ostentatious display kills the spiri,
OF such home. Democracy Is talked

type OF democracy ye, attained There
Is a common interest which binds all
country dwellers together. But who
are so far separated and Indifferent to
each others needs as the various ten
ants Of city tenement or apartment
house.
THE STRENGTH OF NATIONS.
Not all who live in the country
realize It's Significance Here and there
is a decadent home and degenerate
family. But all over the world the
strength Of nations is found among
those who have been fostered near to
nature and have become free beings
by working together In honest labor.
This is home ideal to be placed
among the highest There Is little
danger Of Its over emphasis. No mat
