the result being the production OF
poorly colored. scrubby fruit. Apple
orchards in Iowa should not be plant
ed out less than 25 feet apart each
way. and If land and the planters
conscience will permit, make 1t 80
feet.
If the orchard is not naturally pro-
tected from the wind by trees or ris-
ing ground. windbreak may be
planted with good effect along the
north and west sides or on the south
side. This must be governed by the
location and direction OF prevailing
winds. We would not encourage wind
breaks that would be dense, so as to
check the circulation of air, but mere
ly break the velocity of the wind. and
as the proper windbreaks lessen the
force of the wind, it will protect the
trees from being blown over and they
will grow straighter and more shape
ly. The windbreak will also be a fac
tor OF Importance in retaining the
moisture in the orchard during a
drought, as the wind is one of the
greatest agents in drying out our land.
The best trees to plant for wind
break purposes are Scotch and Aus
trian pine and Norway spruce. A sin
gle row of these trees. planted Is feet
apart is oftentimes sufficient, but If
the exposure is greater, rows can be
added to suit the planter and his con-
ditions.

THE FARMERS HOME

The home of the farmer should ha
the place which is of the most inte,,.
est to him, and his highest aim should
be to make 1t interesting to others
and this he can only do by making n
appear like a home. We should maka
the home ornamental and attractive
in other words, Have desire for tas
beautiful as the saying is. Have n
home that you may be proud of. and
one which you are not ashamed to call
your own. Plant trees and vines in
abundance; there is little danger Of
having too many. Keep the rubbish
cleaned up and everything else in pro-
portion. Keep an eye upon the object
you have in view, and ever work for
that point and do not stop short of it.
do not know what would speak bet
ter for man than an attractive home.
no matter whether he lives in the
city or upon the farm. and what caI
man have that he should take NOR,
pride in making SO? We should
make our homes attractive by plant
ing some of the many kinds of shrub
berry and flowers There are SO many
varieties that sometimes we are at
loss to know what to plant. The only
rule for this is to plant the kind We
like and that will grow in our location.
III we have only a small ivv, and arc
crowded for room, we can plant trees
which will pay US a profit. AS for me.
/ think some fruit trees MAKE very
fine shrubbery. / hardly think that
any farmer is SO crowded but that he
could find room for ornamental trees
and flowers il he wants them. I only
spoke of this in reference to the per-
son in town who has only small lot,
who might accidentally happen to read
this What looks more beautiful than
some nice fruit trees on the lawn,
loaded with delicious fruit? Next we
can make the home attractive by max
ing some Improvements each year.
Keep up the fences, remodel the build
ings and make the whole appear as If
1t were place fine enough for a
king. We farmers cannot afford to let
our farms go to ruin. Sometimes
wher people pass on the road, IL IL
happens they do not see anyone, it IA
hard for them to tell whether anybody
lives there or not. By all means keep
up the appearance of the home in
some way, and do not be satisfied un-
til you have done your best-and the;;
enjoy 1t.

NOTES.
Trim evergreen hedges.

Trim evergreen hedges.
Keep account of your crops and
consignments.
Give roses plenty of water. Cut
flowers as soon as in full bloom.
Gather and destroy all fruit drop
ping prematurely. This will diminish
insect crop and increase fruit crop
for next year.
If you have a good home market. do
not look elsewhere for the sale of
your fruit. unless you have something
extra fine and some first-class Gus
toners.
See those grape vines with their
long new shoots swaying back and
forth. That is their way of asking
protection from the winds. Tying
them to the trellis or arbor does it.
To raise fine large specimens of
fruit on a tree, graft it with an early
and late sort The early part will re-
quire the large portion of the nutri-
ment until it is ripe, then the late
sort will draw all the nourishment
from its development.
When blackberry canes reach a
height of three feet they should be
pinched off. This can be done with a
pair of six-inch scissors or sheen
shears. Pruning shears are too
clumsy for this kind of work.

Every now and then references are
made in the papers to the prevalence
OF insanity in country homes. II is
argued that the isolated lives which
the farmers and their wives live con-
duce to such results. It is claifhed
that the farmers wives are more prone
to become thus affected than their
husbands. This question has been In

that the proportion of inmates OF

Mother, mother, will you leave us:
Leave us sad and all alone?
Oh how can we ever tarry,
la this sad and lonely hOmel
Father and brothers all have left us
Precious links from the family chain
And al the closing OF the year,
Death calls and takes again.
Takes from us a precious mother,
Leaves us sad and all alone,
But we trust In blessed Savior,
To meet again In Home, Sweet Home.
Heaven Sweet Heaven! that glorious
home,
Where there's no pain, no grief, or

But well sing around the great White
Throne.
And never never say goodbye.

Circular Letter Sent Out by State Or

Of the Public in Enforcing the Laws

rhe Indiana Audubon Society, OF
which Amos w. Butler. secretary of
the Indiana Board of State Charities
is president, has taken a decided
stand for the protection of birds in
Indiana and has issued a circular ask
ing the cooperation of the public in
prosecuting violators of the law The
circular says:
The Indiana Audubon Society is
DESTROYS of having it generally I'M
derstood that that society stands for
the vigorous enforcement of the laws
for the protection of our native birds.
There have been recent reports in
the press of the killing of birds about
Indianapolis by men and boys. The
laws of Indiana on this subject are
recognized as being among the best
on the statute books of any state, and
if persons knowing of the killing of
wild birds will report the occurrence
with the names of witnesses the sub
ject will be taken up. The matter
of the protection of our beautiful
and useful birds is one in which ev-
cry citizen of the State should be
deeply interested

probable that several of the latter will
be tried by ccurtmartial as a result OF

discipline prevailing at Sveabors
fortress may be formed from the fact
that the officers allowed the agitators
who organized the mutiny to live in the
barracks with the soldiers and dis
tribute revolutionary proclamations
The sedition which permeates the
whole fortress artillery as well as the
engineers and other branches CT the
service. is considered to be mainly due
to the license allowed the agitators,
The military authorities consider that
these branches of the army are wholly
