Helms FOLIAGE.

The botanist of the Massachusetts
experiment station says that Bor-
deaux mixture exercises tonic in
f1uence on vegetation and that the
benefits following its use are not due
solely to the prevention Of diseases,
but in considerable extent as well
to the increased vigor of growth. He
also says the lime and sulphur treat
ment of San Jose scale has benei-
cial influence in preventing fungus
diseases, and expresses the hope that
''the San Jose scale may prove a
blessing in disguise.

The Way of the Child.

A small boy who had recently
passed his fifth birthday was riding
in a car with his mother, when they
were asked the customary question:
How old is the boy?" After being
told the correct age, which did not
require fare, the conductor passed
on to the next person.
The boy sat quite still as if ponder
ing over some question, and then,
concluding that full information had
not been given. called loudly to the
conductor, then at the other end Of

BLACK LOCUST FOR POSTS.
Farmers Can Grow Them with Little
Trouble and Much Profit.

Farmers are beginning to realize
that growing timber is the very best
way to solve the post problem. From
experience and observation | am con-
WINGED the black locust excels. The
mulberry and the Usage are it's equal
in point of durability, but they are
of slower growth. The latter has
very bad habit of spreading. The
cedar is not so durable in small posts
and harder to grow Black locust can
be grown in some rough, out-of-the-
way place, on poor soil or in our best
pastures. Many fine vistas of black
locust are found in Kentucky and
elsewhere. When it is desired to
remove the trees they are cut out,
and a sprout is allowed to grow from
each stump. Young locust sprouts
may be bought of nurserymen and
set out along the roadside or to form
a grove. They cost about SIG per
1000 when two feet high. Protection
must be provided when they are first
set out, as stock will nip off the main
sprouts, causing them to form head
rather than grow tall and slim. In
dense native groves nature does the
pruning, hence the Importance of
planting close in groves. Along
highways and where scattering it is
necessary to do some pruning. The
head should be run up very high, says
Orange Judd Farmer. Sometimes a
post may be cut from a six-year-old
tree, but better results are had when
the tree is old enough to furnish
three posts, two on first section and
one on the second. The value of
these posts varies.

The "Mound City"

st. Louis rejoices in the sobriquet
of Mound City from the fact that the
original settlers found there many
elevations which it is supposed were
relics of that strange people who
dwelt in the Ohio and Mississippi val
leys and are known to modern times
only as the Mound Builders. No ade-
quate explanation has yet been found
Of their strange mode of leaving
memorials of their existence. The
limestone bluffs on which part of
st. Louis stands furnish solid foun-
dation for the business buildings.

A YOUNG Composer.

Rachel, aged II, wrote an compo-
sition on wild flowers in which she
praised the arbutus, the liverwort,
the spring beauty, the blood root, and
all of the other blossoms of dell and
dale. But she wrote on both sides
of her sheet of paper, and when she
asked her father, who was an editor,
to publish her article, he called her
attention to that fact.
you've written on both sides of
your paper" said he.
WELL was the reply, "and don't
you print on both sides of yours?"

Hereditary Divorce.

AS matter of fact, divorces run
in families. The children of di-
vorced mother are the nkeIiest them
selves to contract alliances which the
law will have to sever. There have
been numerous instances of families
of sisters or brothers who have gone
through the divorce courts in almost
unbroken succession. This phenom-
enon sheds some light on the true
causes of divorce and suggests that "a
very large proportion of the separa-
tons which the law countenances are
due not to an initial fatal mistake
nor to complete "incompatibility, nor
even to the actual misdeeds of either
party, but to mental and tempera-
mental pecuiliarities. Not the insti-
tuition of marriage is at fault, says
Chicago Sun, not the mistaken union
of antipathetic personalities, but the
human nature of one party or the
other to the compact Divorces are
prevalent in certain families. So are
incorrigible levity, disagreeable dis.
positions, unwillingness to abide the
consequences of a deliberate act, q
deficient philosophy.

The Beet-Sugar Industry.

! The census of 1905 shows much
progress in the beet-sugar industry
: of the United States, showing 81 es.
Establishments, against four in 1880,
says the Baltimore Sun. At present
$55,923,459 is invested in beet-sugar
production, and the annual product is
worth $24,393,794. Most of the in.
crease Of plant and product has taken
place since 1900, when the output
was worth but '$7,323,857. OF the
2,175,417 tons of beets grown in the
census year on 240,757 acres and cost
ing $11,345,7S5, four-fifths were grown
by contract by Independent farmers.
The sugar factories do not grow their
supply of beets to any large extent.
Granulated beet sugar was produced
to the extent of 496,61S,314 pounds,
worth $23,493,37s. Other products
were raw sugar, 11,223,607 pounds;
molasses, 9,6O9,642 gallons, and pulp,
worth $202,070. The leading states in
beet sugar are Colorado, Michigan and
California, the first producing $685.

$5,37S, 004 worth and the third $4,415,-
172 worth. California and Colorado
