The Man of the Hour.

He stood in the hall at midnight,
But the clock was not striking the
hour,
For his careful touch had stilled it,
Ere the storm had time to lower.
He said, as the stairs he climbed softly,
"a hero of labor I'm like
For surely this night I've averted
A most disastrous strike"

The American Method.

Investigations made by the Depart
ment of Agriculture have shown that
by the use of seeds instead of scales,
larger bulbs can be secured in a much
shorter time than can be produced by
the scale method. Moreover, 1t has
been demonstrated that in this way
The La Jara chronicle., 1906-04-13

The general policy of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has been to en-
deavor to produce at home such plants
as are grown abroad and shipped into
the United States. This is just as true
with regard to luXuries as to neces-
stiles, and especially apropos is its
reference to the Bermuda or Easter
Lily. For some years efforts have been
made to cultivate successfully the
Easter lily in the Southeastern States,
but it has been found that the climate
of that section is not as favorable for
the lily bulbs as it is in the Bermudas
and Japan.
Experiments have demonstrated that
bulbs of the Easter lily can be carried
over a season in cold storage, with a
result that they are benefited very
materially as it subjects them to a
condition approaching that existing in
Japan, the native country of the spe-
cies, where the bulbs are heavily COW
cred with snow during the resting
period. This discovery has opened
new possibilities in the cultivation Of
the lily. Heretofore, bulbs have been
planted in some parts of the South
early in the fall, with the result that
they sprouted considerably before cool
weather set in. When severe weather,
such as the South gets at some periods
of the winter, docs come, this growth
Is killed and the plant more or less in
jured. During the period before COM
ing into bloom, the plants rendered
sickly during the winter often suffer
severely from lack of moisture, result
ing in poorly developed bulbs.

Lily growing on the Bermuda Islands
is an exceedingly profitable industry.
Practically all the land available for

Orchard Notes.

Soon is the time when the apple bor-
er will emerge from the trunk of the
tree in the shape of a fly and look
about for crevices in the tree trunks
in which to deposit her eggs. A way
often recommended is to take a hoe
and hill up each tree about six inches.
This will necessitate the laying of the
eggs on the trunk where they can be
easily gotten at and destroyed later.

How does the mother wood duck get
her brood of twelve to eighteen duck
lings from her hollow tree to the
creek? Hunters, fishermen and nature
students have tried to answer this
question, and many are the guesses
at the riddle. Mr. William Brewster
watched an American golden eye that
had nest in the hollow tree overhang-
ing the water until he heard her, after
she had made an inspection of the sur
roundings. utter 'quack" that brought
her brood pellmen out of the tree and
tumbling down into the water. A mag
azine writer says he has seen the
young ducks climb out of the hollow
down the tree and walk to the water,
which was near by. Others believe
that the mother carries them in her
bill, taking them by their wings; 9th
erS that she carries them on her back.

A Good Dog.

1t is related by Professor Bell that
when q friend of Els was travelling
abroad he one mofning took out his
purse to see If it contained sufficient
change for a days jaunt he intended
making. He departed from his lodg-
ings, leaving a trusted dog behind.
When he dined he took out his purse
to pay and found he had lost a gold
coin from it. On returning home in
the evening his servant informed him
that the dog seemed very Ill, as they
could not induce him to eat anything
He went at once to his favorite, and as
soon as he entered the room the faith
full creature ran to him, deposited the
gold coin at his feet and then devoured
the food placed for him with great
eagerness. The truth was that the
gentleman had dropped the coin in the
morning. The dog had picked it vi
and kept 1t in his mouth, fearing even
to eat lest he should lose his masters
property before an opportunity was Of
forded him to rectore it.-Chambers
