The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1907-05-31

The German province of Hanover,
saws the st. Louis Post-Dispatch, owns
/ .967 miles of highways, on which
there are 1874 fruit trees-pear,
cherry, plum and apple-sufficient If
set cut 80 to an acre to form an or
chard of more than 300 square miles.
The fruit raised on these trees is a
source of income for the province,
which sometimes makes 100000 year
by selling the products of this elon-
gated orchard.
The province maintains a nursery OF
403 acres to supply young trees for
roadside use and for promoting the in
terests of fruit culture. The profit Of
a tree is very small, but the Hanover
people do not worry about that. Shade
is afforded in summer, the roadbed is
free from dust, the presence of trees
retards the washing out of the soil
from the banks into the roadside
bitches and the attractive appearance
of the roadside stimulates an interest
in tree culture and benefits the prov
ince in many other ways. They find 1t
worth while.

COLLEGE MEN FOR THE FARM.
Result Of Change in Economic and
Social Conditions.

The character of farming is chang
Ing rapidly. Ii is coming more and
more to be an efficient, profitable and
attractive business. With here and
there an exception, in the past we
have not given much consecutive
thought to the Understanding like
as much as the merchant gives to his
business or the doctor 10 his. 1t has
been so easy" a business that I'm
trained men could succeed in il. The
change in economic and social condi-
tons is breaking up the tradition.
Farming is becoming more difficult,
and the old methods must go. In the
future only the well-informed aud eff
cient-thinking man can succeed; that
is, only the educated man.
The country is to offer other advan-
tages to the educated man than mere
ly to be good farmer. There are
good opportunities for leadership on
public questions-probably better OPP
portunity and with less competition
than in the great cities. The fact that
city representation is increasing in the
legislatures should make the able
country representative more of
marked man. The growth of the insti-
tute movement, of the grange and 9th
er rural organizations, gives fresh OPP
portunity to develop leadership of a
high order.
1t would seem that, by the nature
of the progress We are making, the
tn ha far In
fact, college men have been going
back from the beginning of the agri-
cultural education movement. Stats
tics show that large percentage
actually have returned to farming,
and this in spite of the fact that
cities have been growing with marvel
Gus rapidity, and that the whole sys-
TEN of agricultural colleges and ex-
pertinent stations has been developing
and calling for men. Considering the
limitations under which the agricul-
tural colleges have developed, without
sympathy, with the indifference and
sometimes the opposition of educators
the men who should have known
better-with wholly inadequate funds,
it is little less than marvellous what
they have accomplished within a gen
Grafton. 1t is probable that the pro-
portion of students of the leading ag-
! ricultural colleges, who now engage in
agricultural pursuits, is greater than
students of that of colleges of law or
of other professional colleges who fol
low their chosen profession. No one
now questions the value of education
to lawyer or physician; why question
its value TO a farmer? The educated
man will go back to the farm if he is
fitted to be a farmer-Scribner's Mag
aZine.

A Rooster That Rules.

1t is not often that a barnyard fowl
attains neighborhood popularity, but
such is the case with a large Massa-
chusetts red rooster belonging to
Charles Davis of st. John avenue. A
few weeks ago Mr.. Davis was attract
ed TO his barnyard by the whines of a
half-grown setter pup he is training.
He found that the dog had been driv-
en- into a corner and was being saw
agely attacked by a big cock, and be-
fore he could interfere in behalf of
the pup it had been pretty heavily
marked by the ROSTERS spurs.
Since that time Red, as he has come
to be called, has become neigh
borhood bully and refuses to al.
low pigs or dogs TO come with
in the grounds under his rule,
Curiously enough, dogs will not fight
back, but actually run from his as
saults. AS for gamecocks, he has
probably thrashed more of them than
any otner bird in the city.-Kansas

Mental Photouraphy.

member of the Philadelphia Pho
tographic society has been trying the
new mental photography which has
been making some stir in Berlin. This
eXperimenter took a blank photo
graphic plate into his dark room,
bound it to his forehead, and for 80
minutes concentrated his thoughts on
the face of "A close friend OF his.
The developed plate, which he says
is the identical one that he bound to
his forehead, shows, family, traces of
a face that has many points of resem-
blance TO that Of his friend. Such at
least is the opinion of some who have
seen the plate, though others declare
hat its markings are indeterminate
and look like nothing in particular.
The point raised by the experiment Is
whether or not an image on the hu.
man brain can be photographed, since
the X-ray can secure an image of the
arteries of a body or of something in
closed in a solid, Opaque covering.

DEATH OF MRS. BAYLOR.

The death of Mrs. Baylor, which
occurred LAST Monday morning, casts
a gloom over the entire county. She
was widely known and connected,
and her death, while not unexpected,
is source of deep regret. Besides her
husband, DR.. w. K. Baylor, she
leaves five children to mourn an ire
parable loss. The burial took place
on Wednesday, at Wardell, where
the remainns were laid 10 rest in the
old family burial ground. The
weather was cold and disagreeable,
yet large number of friends and re-
latives were present to attest the high
esteem in which deceased was held.
Mrs. Baylor went on a visit some
time in the early part of November
TO her brother, ST.. Thopmson in the
Cove. While there she was stricken
down, and never saw her home again.
Her physicians had little hope of her
recovery from the beginning, As a
complication of troubles soon devel-
oped, which bafiled medical skill and
the closest attention and nursing.
Mrs. Baylor was daughter of the
late James w. Thompson. Her moth
er, sister of Captain j. ID. AleXan-
der of this town, and her father, died
some years ago. Her brother, $. j..
Thompson and sister, Mrs. n. +.
Adams, are the only surviving MEM
bers of her immediate family. Mrs.
Baylor was a worthy member fol
many years of the Presbyterian
church. The funeral services were
coducted by Rev. w. w. Carson, hel
present pastor.
