When Mrs. Margaret Carpenter of Brooklyn, New York, who celebrated the tooth anniversary of her birth the other day, was seven years old, she had a severe attack of bilious fever. It was feared that she would die, and her shroud was made but she disappointed the expectations of her relatives and wore the shroud out as dress. That was her only serious illness, except when she went blind from cataract twenty-five years ago. An operation was performed on one eye which restor- ed It's sight, and her only regret is that she refused to have the other eye similarly treated.

4 NEW INrEREsr IN pEAr.-

With a rapid stripping of the great
forest areas of the north and west to
supply the enormous lumber trade Of
the country and somewhat slower
yet just as sure consumption of the
hard wood and coal supplies of the cen
trail and western states for use as fuel,
attention is now being directed to the
vast yet untouched deposits of peat to
be found in the north central states.
According to the state geological sur
vey, northern Iowa and southern Min
nesota alone contain in the neighbor-
hood of 25,000,O00 tons of peat, much
Of it due to drier seasons and drainage
systems, being in partially dry condi-
ton. The deposit of peat, which is
nothing but the accumulation of the
decayed vegetable matter of genera
lions past, covers hundreds of acres
and varies from four to ten feet in
thickness. Plans are already on foot
for the establishment of plants which
will press and dry the peat and put it
on the market Those who have tested
the fuel qualities of peat state that it
Is superior to the best hard wood and
is surpassed by coal only in the respect
that it contains somewhat more car
bon. Peat is far superior to coal in
that it contains no sulphur, makes lit
tie smoke and no SCOT or clinkers. It
makes a fine white ash, giving a fire
that is very hot or mild, as occasion re-
quires Provided it can be put In con-
venient shape and placed on the mar
ket at a reasonable price, which seems
entirely likely, the demand for this
new fuel is bound to be enormous.

Good digestion Makes Eggs.

The foundation Of great egg produc-
tion is great digestive capacity, and If
that is lacking feed and care have
small effect on the result as any one
may observe who will note the differ
ence in yield of his Individual hens.
Now, this large digestive capacity
Invariably followed by liberal egg pro-
duction-is attained only by skillful
breeding and when subject to the man
agement of the average keeper of hens
disappears In a few generations.
For example, take the ordinary farm
flock. During the fall and winter the
few eggs secured are laid by small
number of comparatively good hens.
Early in spring those good layers be-
come broody and are promptly set on
eggs from the poor layers, just starting
in. The process is repeated the next
year and so continues until the owner
decides that the breed" is no good.

Hopper Feeding For Pigeons.


Among faneiers generally there is a
strong prejudice against the use Of
hoppers in the loft. Many who have
tried them have discarded them be-
cause they think in keeping constant
supply of grain before the birds they
are encouraged to gorge themselves,
says A. " Meersch in Poultry News,
but in the writer's opinion no such
thing is ever done, as pigeons are not
greedy feeders. 1t seems reasonable
enough, and with some varieties there
can be no doubt the propensity may be
strongly developed, but the best fam
ciers use hoppers with a quantity of
food always before their birds.
Pouters are perhaps the chief offend
ers in this respect, as will be admitted
by breeders of them. 1t is probably
more satisfactory sometimes to feed
by hand. "A pigeon that is off its feed
can be easily detected and if handled
Immediately can be saved. Not all
breeders have the time to do so twice
daily, SO in such cases the hopper or
its equivalent must be resorted to, and
its use is not infrequently attended
with best results

MHAT. FOREST TREES TO PLANT.

WHAT FOREST TREES no PLANT.
reader of these notes residing In
the northern part of the writer's home
state writes an interesting letter In
which he takes exception to a recent
article which appeared in this depart
ment in which the soft maple was rec
commended as the most practical tree
TO plant with view to securing q
grove that would make quick growth
and insure a supply Of fuel of fairly
good quality. For the purpose named
we see no reason for revising the rec
ominendation as made. Assuming a
different ultimate object in the plant
Ing of a grove, which cur correspond
INT does, we agree quite fully with
him in his suggestions. His view in re-
gard to tree planting is that, barring
shade trees, no tree should be planted
which will not ultimately produce a
saw log, this because of the increasing
scarcity of timber and consequent in
crease in price For this reason he
holds that every farmer should prepare
for the future and take precautions
which will insure him supply of lum-
Der at the end of a period of twenty
five or thirty years. For this purpose
be thinks no tree will compare with the
cottonwood, which under favorable
conditions will make a growth Of three
fourths of an inch in diameter annual
ly. In thirty years time this would
give tree large enough so that it could
be sawed into material especially
adapted for the inside of barn build
ings. He recommends planting the in
side rows with black walnut, few
rows on either side with cottonwoods,
with European larch on the outside.
In his own words s.All are moderate
~ fast growers. In twenty years time
the larches would be ready to sell for
telephone poles, in thirty years the cot
tonwoods would be valuable for the
purposes above mentioned, and at any
period later the walnuts would be rap
idly Increasing in value. They should
all be planted thick enough so that
they would grow tall and the lower
branches fall off and be trimmed to a
height of twenty or thirty feet, gradual
In case the farmer has grove our
friend recommends planting walnuts in
all vacant places, which in time would
give a desirable walnut grove, sug-
gestion that is timely. For the man
who is willing to wait the length of
time necessary the plan our correspond
ent suggests is admirable and his sug-
gestion as to the varieties of trees de-
sirable for planting excellent, but we
fear for the average farmer it requires
too high type Of horticultural faith,
which, while commendable, is Of rare
occurrence, but which perhaps for that
reason needs every possible encourage
ment. For the man who has faith
and is willing to wait the plan of tree
planting suggested is first rate; for the
one who feels he cannot wait SO long
and does not have in view lumber
supply the soft maple grove will be
found a very satisfactory substitute

some prepared grain chick food there
are a great many good brands on the

that does not contain grit they should
be given grit from the start. Water
should be before them at all times, and
it should be clear and fresh If there
is no grass In their run or wherever
they are they should be supplied with
green food IN the form Of lettuce, cab
bage or clover chopped up fine. They
should have meat in some form, either

lE1e Two May BE Easily and FroMtH-
bly, Kept Together.
/ have often wondered that the keep
ing Of pigeons and poultry IS not more
frequently combined, at least to the ex-
tent of the poultryman having d few
pigeons for the pleasure of the thing,
IL he lacks the disposition or the facilI-
ties to make it a reguliE branch of the
business. says A. II. Koontz in the
American Poultry Advocate. A few Of
these birds can be stuck away in
most any corner, such as the gable end
Of the barn. the loft or an old shed, or
even In the higher part of the poultry
house Itself They take up but little:
room, bear confinement well and make
most handsome and interesting pets.
AS to what particular variety of the
many ii the market is likely to afford
one most pleasure, that is a matter
which the individual himself should de-
eide, but in our own Judgment he will
make no mistake In choosing the dying
homer. For many years we have kept
a few pairs of choice bred birds OF this
variety, and we have yet to find a more
fascinating diversion than re breed

OF course comparatively few can

will be found sufficient to fit birds so
that they will make trips of 30, 40 and
even 100 miles with reasonable certain
ty and speed.
Nothing creates greater interest in

HOME FRUIT GARDEN.
1t Gives a Pleasant Air of Thrift and
Comfort.

Comfort.
The home fruit garden should be
near the house. for the convenience Of
the family, and not too near the road
for tie convenience of the public. 1t
should be OF reasonable size. On most
farms it ought to comprise at least one
acre. 1t should be located on the best
land available. The soil should be not
only rich, but deep, well drained and
easily worked. Deep soil and good
drainage are more important than fer
tility. A loose. grayelly subsoiE COW
cred with a heavy, sandy loan which
does not bake makes an ideal situation
for fruit garden.
A slope to the east is probably best,
though This matter is not of first Inn
portance. Slightly sloping land is bet
ter than perfectly level land. The fruit
garden should not come at the bottom
of a slope, and especially not in a
pocket of low land.
The fruit plantation ought to be pro-
tected by windbreaks on the north and
the south. However, if the land slopes
care should be taken not to have the
windbreak too dense on the lower side.
