CHILD HERO Is DENIED MEDAL.

Carnegie Commission Decides Him
Too Young to Realize Bravery.
To gain recognition as hero from the
Carnegie commission one must be old
enough to appreciate the danger encoun-
tered in an act of bravery. Because. in
the opinion of one of the members of the

years, was too young to be a real hero.

strict Divorce Laws.

More stringent divorce laws were urged
by Circuit Court judges at hearing ON
j the Sanborn divorce bill before joint
meeting of the judiciary committees of
the two houses ofthe Legislature. Judge
G, III. Moves of Milwaukee said that the
divorce evil was growing to alarming pro-
portions in Wisconsin. 1t was argued that
proceedings for divorces should be held
in open court and the State should be rep
resented in every case by the district at
torney. Under the present law the pro-
ceedings in most divorce cases are heard
by court commissioner in private and
the State is not represented by an at

Growing Apples ON Rough Land.

Growing Apples on Rough Land.
The owner of a hillside In Pennsyl-
vania who found his land too rough to
cultivate at profit writes that he has
found way out by planting fruit trees.
He thinks the loose stones are no injury
to the trees, but on the contrary rather
a benefit, as they serve as mulch to
help obtain moisture. He plants his
apple trees thirty-six feet apart, thirty
three trees to the acre, the distance
being great enough because the trees
do not grow quit SO fast as in tillage
land. His pear trees he plants forty
eight to the acre, thirty feet apart, and
his peaches nineteen feet apart, 134 to
the acre. He recLons on 200 bushels
an acre from his apples or pears, and
800 baskets Of peaches. The land Is
not cultivated at all, but the trees were
mulched and fertilized when young and
protected from borers and mice The
soil is fairly good, but is supplied with
plant food enough to keep the trees in
vigorous growth. In this way the hill
sides are proftably used, and the best
part of the farm given to general crops
and dairy farming. The trees are head
ed low, since cultivation Is not required,
and the fruit is easy to pick, while
spraying can be done with slight incon-
venience
