THE HOME.
Lecturer Advocates Small Indepen.
dent Homes, Zach on a Acre of
Land

An address on THE Significance of
the Country Home" was delivered by
Edward H. 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 adj
yocating a 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 err
ror to suppose hat 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 tie insig-
nificant haunts of ones childhood, of
which II who has risen to distinction
is expected to be a 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.

Poor Chance In the Cities.

Life in a metropolis makes young
children sharp, but not clever; it often
destroys their chance of ever being
clever, for it hastens the development
of the brain unnaturally; it makes
them superficial, alert, but not observ-
ant; excitable, but without one spark
of enthusiasm; they are apt to grow
blase, tickle. discontented; they see
more things than the country-bred
child, but not such interesting things.
and they do not properly see any
thing, for they have neither the time
nor capacity to get at the root of all
the bewildering objects that crowd
themselves into their little lives.

story of a potato grower in Colorado
a few years ago. when the crop of
potatoes in the east was immense.
Colorado had, as usual, raised many
thousands of sacks. but found the
price so low that il scarcely covered
the freight charges. In the emergency
"The Man of the Hour appeared in
the person of a grower who washed
his potatoes carefully. put them up in
neat |10-pound sacks with attractive
labels and sen them on to Chicago.
A very fancy price was asked. but the
potatoes went off with a rush and
netted the grower the highest returns
he had ever received. Cases similar
to this are known to most farmers.
Very often the manne in which fruit
and vegetables are put up has more
influence on the price than quality it.

Nevertheless you can scarcely make a
dwarf tree by any amount of pruning,
and in every apple orchard ladders of
some kind soon become a necessity.
HANDY TYPES OF LADDERS
OF all the numerous styles of ladders,
some form of step ladder is best adapt
ed to the orchard, whether the welfare
of the tree is considered or the comfort
of the picker. Any ladder which must
be set against the tree is a constant
menace to it. Probably the best type
of tall step ladders is Ii having three
legs, two comprising the legs of the
ladder proper and the third acting as
it's support. 1t is easily set up securely

n BIRDS.

To grow up, Mr.. Chandler said, with
the flowers and shrubs and trees ana
to learn to care for the birds, SPUR
rels, rabbits and domestic animals is
a training whose influence on character
can never be over-estimated. An acre
of ground is enough for Natures pur-
poses if he who lives on it wishes to
be her pupil and helper. The country
home makes possible the simplicity of
living and fosters true democracy. 1t
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 a true friend. This is
the life which the country home fos-
ters. There you nay not have so much
money to handle, but you do not need
it, DESTINATIONS display kills the spirit
of such a home. Democracy is talked
of in the city but it is felt in the oun
try. \ town meeting is the highest
type of democracy yet attained. There
is a common interest which binds all
country jewellers together. But who
are so far separated and Indifferent to
each others needs as the various ten
ants of a city tenement or apartment
house?

on uneven ground and the wide spread
of legs at the bottom makes it especial
ly stable. For work on tall trees the
Japanese style of ladder, in which the
steps converge TO a point at the top
is easy to manipulate. Lightest of all
the tall ladders is a single rail with
pegs projecting from the sides, but it
is least safe and comfortable for the
user. and is not liable to become wide
ly used.
Every picker has his own opinion
as to the best style of receptacle In
which to place the freshly picked
fruits. Buckets, baskets and bags
have their devotees. and some even go
so far as to provide the pickers with
coal scuttles. The latter, however. too
strongly suggest pouring and such
rough treatment is not to be thought
of with apples any more SO than with
eggs. Where bags are used, as is COM
monty the case, they should be lined
with burlap though this should not
cause any relaxation of care in plac-
ing fruit in them. Bags are open to
the objection that the fruit in them
is easily bruised where the bag
brushes against a limb or ladder. The

THE STRENGTH OF NATIONS.

Not all who live in the country
realize its significance. Here and there
is a decadent home and a degenerate
family. But all over the world the
strength of nations is found among
those who have been fostered neal to
nature and have become free beings
by working together in honest labor.
This is a home ideal to be placed
among the highest. There is little
danger of its over emphasis. No mat

these are hauled to market they should
always be covered with a tarpaulin to
keep off rain or dust. If box material
is carried over from one year to an
other it should be carefully housed and

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY
Two essentials of a perfect packing
of apples are honesty and uniformity
that is the apples in the middle or
bottom of the pack, whether it 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
