"It's a peculiar thing the tricks that
luck will now and then play chap"
said prominent physician recently.
Take, for instance, the breaking Of
bones in ones body. Did you ever
stop and think how very many hard
and high falls man can have, light
on rocky ground with half his body
twisted under the other half, SO to
speak, and come Off with not even a
scratchf Then, again, fellow will,
Just trip over his own foot and, falling
to the ground, break leg or an arm.
A good many will say it all depends on
how one alights, but that seems to
have absolutely nothing to do with 1t.
as have seen man alight In GER
tain way from high fall and never
injure himself, and then again have l
seen a second chap alight In the same
Identical way and break leg and an
arm."-Columbus Dispatch.

Pronunciation Of Theatre"

II theatre was originally written
"theater" in English, has its Dronunci-
alton also varied among the orthodox
that Is to say, was there ever a time
when correct speakers said "theayter,"
as many of the incorrect still do?
There Is no direct evidence in verse of
a serious kind for such pronunciation
so far as we know. Shakespeare GER
tainly pronounced the word as we do
now, says London journal. But since
"theayter' does really represent a long
"a OF the original Greek and Latin 1t
Is not easy to understand how the vul-
gar could have Numbered on to 1t Of
their own accord 1t would have been
more comprehensive II they had turned
an orthodox "theayter'' into "theater,"
just as the second "a" in "Amasis"
goes too often popularity shortened now.
The French language has had to mark
the length of the "a" in theatre" by
giving it rather irregular circumf1ex
accent a

NOTES.

Troublesome small ants may be driven
from the food closets by scrubbing the
shelves with strong carbolic soap, then
sprinkle red pepper in the creviccs.
Unless of cancerous nature the fol-
lowing mixture will cure ulcers of every
kind Mix we'll together one drachm
Of chlorate Of potash, ono drachm Of
wine of opium and three ounces of tar
water. Set ct once in cool place
Put teaspoonful Of this mixture in
wineglass Of fresh water and apply to
the ulcer with soft, thoroughly clean
sponge or swab made of old linen
strips Repeat this treatment three or
four times day and use teaspoonful
Of this medicine for every ulcer until
healed.
Moro than one farm hcifer has been
injured by the absence of proper milk
ing stool. Sitting on ones toes becomes
tiresome after time and in the case of
heifer whose undevelopcd udder rem
ders the job of milking her rather
tedious one, the last end Of the milking
is pretty sure to get sighted unless the
mixer is in a fairly comfortable posi-
ton. This means a spoiled COW pres.
entity. BY the way, did you ever think
how much unnecessary weight from the
arm is thrown upon the cows udder by
using that ridiculously low stool : Just
try higher ono and see if it is not
great deal easier upon the arms then
ask old Brin what she thinks about it.
A Washington poultry dealer has made
the discovery that it is dangerous
practice to carry eggs intended for hatch
ing ON electric cars without taking pre-
cautions to prevent the electric current
from killing the germs. Experience
has shown that where the receptacle is
allowed to rost on the floor OF the car
80 per cent. of the eggs are skilled. !"
Moral: Garry the basket on your lap.
An egg that has been subjected to q
temperature ofAless than 40 degrees for
any length of time is of no value in in
cubation. During the cold of spring
the eggs intended for Matching should
be gathered several times a day and
kept at temperature of IS to so de-
grees.

Agricultural.
FRUIT NOTES AND OBSERVA-
TONS,

Small fruits may be grown in the or
chard to economic and do no harm to
the trees, provided they are so planted
that they will not crowd the trees or
interfere with their cultivation Tho
trouble mostly found is in letting them
so crowd the trees that they suffer and
also suffer from lack of cultivation.
One row of berries or grapes right mid
way between the trees will do them
very little harm and leave plenty OF
room on each side Of the trees for cultl-
walton. More rows than this should
only be set in between trees very wide
apart.
When setting out block Of trees
bear in mind that many trees are sterile
to their own pollen, just as some straw
berries are, and to be on the safe side
about every third row Of trees should
be of some other variety of fruit
Since we cannot tell just what ones are
sterile to their own pollen, it would be
very late in the season to try to remedy
this when discovered at bearing time,
and hence the propriety Of diversifying
as suggested above to secure perfect
fertilization.
For intercultural crops, low vegeta-
bles. cowpeas and soy beans are good
small ia should be avoided and corn
should not Be used for i is too tall and
shadows ,ho yours taes Trees that
are crowded by corr o lne are apt to
sgsumo the lon bardy poplar habit In
older orchards where cultivation is not
80 essential, red clover is q good crop
or cowpeas broadcasted. With straw
berries care must be taken to prevent
their spreading to and mating around
the trees. This habit of theirs has
caused much trouble in orchards where
they are grown.
Considerable space should be given
in both the home and commercial or
chards to such fruit as bears early,
heavily and regularly, even though
some sacrifice is made Of quality, as,
for example. the Kieffer pear Elberta
peach, Ben Davis apple or Damson
plum, each of which ia quantity king,
though lacking in quality. The great
trouble with most quality kings is that
they do not produce enough per crop
nor enough crops. We consider the
above-named fruits very good when we
have no other-often the case.
early fruit, as a rule. brings more
per bushel than the main crop sorts,
but not many are required to meet the
demand, and when We go beyond this
and crowd the market, which is easy to
do for lack of uses, they are apt to be
hard sales at price equal to the cost Of
production. Late or main crop fruits
are used 10 many ways for storing for
later use as canning, evaporating or
preserving, 80 that the demand is greater
and ready market is generally found
for them Winter fruit often sells for
three or four times what summer fruit
does, for their time Of usefulness COW
ors long period and the supply runt
short.
Fruit trees require an abundance Of
potash and not very much nitrogen, sc
that fertilizers rich in the former arc
essential to trees, especially bearing
ones. Stable manure is not good for
trees, for, being rich 10 ammoniates, it
is conducive to growth at the expense
of production unless used sparingly
