A Chnnge in Orchnrdinr.

The need Of spraying fruit trees
for insects and the scale pest may
bring about very important chances
in methods of orcharding. Years
ago, when the only pest fought
against was an occasional visitation
of the Canker worms, the size and
position of the tree made compare
lively little difference; but If the
trees are to be sprayed from one to
three times every year, and especi-
ally when they are sprayed for the
very thorough work required for the
destruction Of the San Jose scale,
large trees hard to get at become a
serious handicap.
Horticu1turist @. T. Powell is
working along lines which may need
to become generally adopted for the
orchards Of the future. He Is work.
ing for tree not more than sixteen
to twenty feet in height, and work.
ing to this ind along two lines. One
is the use of the regular dwarf apple
tree, the other by setting standard
trees and keeping them low headed
by pruning, 1t is we'll known that
an apple tree may be kept low down
by branching close to the ground at
the start ana heading in the tall
branches every few years. The pro-
cess might shorten the life of the
tree, but it. would save many dollars
in harvesting and spraying. For
similar reasons it is no longer desir-
able to set frait in locations hard
to get at, such as steep hillsides,
very rocky land or along fence rows
or walls. Mr.. Powell finds the cost
Of picking apples from high trees
is nearly three times that of harvest
ing them from the low headed trees,
and the loss from fruit blowing off
the trees is much less from the low
growing orchard American Guilt

DISAPPEARING PULP WOODS.
A Danger, Grave and Impending, May
BE EVaded by Undivided Action.

The Toronto Globe has begun a
campaign for the conservation of
Canada's spruce forests, which are
the source Of large part Of the
wood pulp used for paper making in
this country. In it's issue of July
81 the Globe says editorially:
"The spruce supply of the United
States would be completely exhausted
in half a dozen years if the manu-
facturers and users of paper had to
depend on it alone. They are now
substituting large quantities of logs
from Canada at great expense and
are thus rapidly depicting our pulp
supplies. A certain amount of forest
is devastated every year by fire. Our
own manufacturers consume a large
amount of pulp that is made into
paper for use in Canada, and much
larger amount for expectation to
other countries. The supply at pres
ent available is enormous, but the
consumption of paper is rapidly in
creasing, while the supply of wood
If rapidly diminishing. 1t is only
a question of time when these two
movements will result in very in
convenient II not disastrous scar
CITY,"
A few years ago there was general
confidence in the ability of our nor
thern border States to furnish all the
pulp wood that this country would
ever need. That notion has been
exploded. Our invasion of Canada
for the needed supply is causing
grave apprehension in that country.
Wisconsin paper mills are buying
pulp wood in Quebec, 1900 miles
away. The situation is a little better
in northern New York and northern
New England, but even in those re-
gions the end of our supply is imme-
diately before us. Realizing this
fact, a number of our large paper
companies have bought extensive
tracts in Canada and are busily cut
ting on them One company owns
about 5000 square miles and another
owns about 1900 square miles. There
are others with smaller holdings.
The point of special Importance Is
not SO much the possibilities that
Canada may impose an export duty
on pulp wood as the certainty that
unless proper steps are soon taken
there must occur an exhaustion OF
spruce supply in Canada, as we'll as
in this country. So far as this coun-
try is concerned, there is little II
anything that the Federal Govern
ment can be asked to do. The spruce
regions of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, New York, Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota are not part
of the national domain.
The danger, grave and impending
can be evaded only by State or by
undivided action, and only by the
conservation of the existing forests
and an extensive planting with a
view to the remote future. Canada
has much larger powers of restric-
ton and may exercise them. II she
does, this country must dance to the
tune she pipes.-New York Sun.

Answering a question as to the
difference betweEn standard bred,
thoroughbred and pure bred horses,
WallaCe's Farmer says:
Standard bred 10 the name applied
to the American tr0tting horses which
conform to the standards established
by the American Trotting Horse Reg
istry, and are consequently entitled
to registration in khe stud book Is
sued by that association. Thorough
bred applies to the breed of running
horses, but the tenn is frequently
used in an incorrect way in speak
ing of other breed of horses. For
example 1t is not uncommon to hear
the expression thoroughbred Shire,
or thoroughbred PeFcheron, or thor
oughbred Shorthorn. This is an i'm
proper use Of the term. 1t should be
used only when it is desired to refer
to the thoroughbred horse as a breed.
Pure bred, or pure blood, is used
when it Is desired tn state that the
animal in question il of pure breed
ing and entitled to registry in the
stud book or herd book Of that breed.
For example, we speak of the pure
bred PeYGheron, pure bred Shire, or
pure bred Shorthorn or Angus, mean
ing that the animal is of pure breed
ing and IL entitled to registry in the
herd book Of the breed to which it
belongs.

Umbrella Made Him Dumb.

Describing the recent discoveries
Of the relationship between such men
tai functions as seeing, hearing, and
speaking and certain particular areas
in the brain, in Everybody's, DR.. Will
liam Hanna Thomson writes:
"A man was brought to Bellevue
hospital, wholly unable to speak
word, though he could hear words
with his ears and read with his eyes
as well as ever. The story told by
his friends was that in a drunken row
a man had poked the tip Of an umbrel-
la into his eye. But instead of seri-
Ously injuring that organ, it had passed
over the ball into his brain just where
the uttering speech center lies, sep
arated from the eye by only very
thin plate in the bony roof of the or
bit. While l was describing his case
to large class at my clinic, he saw
student with an umbrella in his hand,
and pointing to it, he burst into tears.
AS far as we could learn, he never
recovered his speech.
THAT the place injured in this and
similar instances was the sole seat Of
spoken language was proved by the
fact that not only did injury there in
variably abolish speech, in the pre-
else meaning of the word, but that
a like injury elsewhere had no such
effect, whatever other effect it might
have"

THE EIMORTALs

The singers of the world, ah, who are
they?
Those who have put away
All hope of gain and rulership and place
To 60 desDised, on the unending chase
After high Beauty, following where she
Beauty in twilights, stars and moons and
suns;
Beauty in servings flashed above gray
Beauty in dawns and midnights and cloud
shapes;
Beauty in snowdrifts, pools, and rushing
storms;
Beauty in laughter and in living forms
Onward, unresting, over crag and stream
Chasing the flying dream,
Till the white equities Of moon and star,
Sowing their light afar,
Lead on their feet to kingdoms waiting
long,
with song.
The poets of the earth, they cannot perish.
Their music men will cherish;
Their songs build dawn as the large suns
grow light.
They are the morning-maker of our night,
Great kings Of melody forever hymning
Beauty and love, with jocund eyes clear
trimming.
The races rise and rule and pass, but they,
lmmutable and glad, like strong gods, stay
In cool, green places where the years are
young;
And hearts of lovers hold the strains
they've sung.
Deathless though dead, they have per
petual youth,
And Beauty know as Truth;
Priests of white hope they urge mems souls
still on
To tracts of fairer dawn;
And it is always April where they wait,
Secure in morn that nevermore grows
late.

Potash For Apples.

Potash is perhaps the most i'm
portant for fruit Of all the manures.
1t causes healthfulness and vigor of
tree or plant, and makes the fruit
rich and highly colored. Wood ashes
contain it, but the proportions are
usually quite small. Muriate of
potash contains fully one-half Of its
weight OF available potash, and sui
phats of potash about the same.
Both are excellent and cheap forms.
The sooner either of them are put
in or on the soil, the more COM
pletely they will become prepared
for the use Of the coming fruit crop.
If it Is not possible to apply them
to the ground now, do so early in
the fail. But above all be sure to
do 1t, Sor ia most soils potash will
pay good return. One hundred
pounds per acre annually is a fair
application Of either muriate or sui
phat9 of potash. Lime has a very
beneficial effect, aside from being
plant food, IN helping to dissolve the
elements of fertility in the soil natu-
rally. Thin is especially true of
heavy clay soils, and where humus
is in excess it "sweetens" its acidity.
About five bushels of quick lime per
acre is sufficient for some three
years.-Jouynal of Agriculture.
