Don't wait for the fruit tree man
to come around. 1t is a better plan
to go to the nursery yourself, and
then and there pick out a few more
trees than you think you have room
for. Then as soon as you can get
them plant them in every nook and
corner. Remember that the land in
the corners costs as much as it does
anywhere else, and you ought to get
the use of it and not turn it over to
nOxious weeds and insects

egg crop comes out every year with
unceasing regularity and without the
aid of government experts or expert
ment farms The little red or brown
or dominecker hen knows her own
business and goes about it without
any outside advice. The annual poul-
try crop is more valuable than wheat
or corn or cotton, and surpasses the
revenue derived from the mining OF
any mineral.
Some man who had plenty of time
on his hands has figured it all out
and says that if all the hens eggs laid
in the United States annually were
Grated, allowing $50 to the crate, they
would fill over 100000 crates. A
train of refrigerator cars to accommo-
date this vast quantity would be made
up of 107,S18 cars and would be nine
miles in length.
OF course part of the praise Is due
to the modern incubator which, though
a valuable aid as Matching appara-
tus, will never be of any use from an
egg producing standpoint At best
the incubator is but an aid to the hen.

Into the socket a detonating rocket Is placed, and inside this Is a firing tube. A lanyard Is hooked on to the tube, and man, by giving the lanyard a sharp jerk, explodes the rocket. It contains a high explosive and on leaving the rail gives loud report and another on reaching it's highest altitude. Both reports are as loud as the report of a twelve pounder cannon. The socket Is slipped in the rail at an angle to prevent the rocket touching the rigging.

 Oscar s. Straus, who is scheduled for appointment by President Roosevelt as secretary of commerce and labor, oc- casloned discussion recently by hts statement that the Jewish race, to which he belongs, Is not mercurial and materialistic, but devoted to ideals. and that otherwise it would have sold out long ago and bought peace from it's persecutors. It is said that MT. Straus will be the first Jew to hold a place in the cabinet of an Amarican presi- dent. He has served as minister to Turkey and in that post did more, al- though Jew, for the benefit of the work of the Christian missionaries in the sultan's domain than any of his Christian predecessors. It was Grover Cleveland who first sent Mir. Straus to Turkey, and the second time he went there as United States minister 1t was President Mckinley who commissioned him. Though never an active politi- clan, he used to be considered Dem.

BY the strategy OF the Republican
leaders IN the Senate, headed by Senator
Aldrich, chairman Of the Finance Com
mittee. the efforts of the Democrats to-
day TO open up the attack on the relief
measures OF the Treasury Department
were temporarily sidetracked.
When resolutions were reached, Sen
ator Culberson called UP his two resOlu-
tions making an inquiry of the Treas
urer concerning public money on de-
post in the national banks and the
transactions respecting the Panama
bonds and the 3 per cent certificates OF

discussion OF the financial situation
would be precipitated.

of his colleagues this morning and with

Ridgely, Senator Aldrich gave assur-
Rnces to Senator Culberson that the FL
nance Committee. equally with the Sen
ator from Texas, desired full informa-
ton about the financial relief measure.

tions were allowed to 60 TO the Finance
Committee a resolution would be
brought out by the chairman later, in
Guiding the inquiries by Mr.. Culberson
and also those made by other Senators.

out delay
Senator CuIbertson said that If the
Finance Committee would meet within a
day or two and bring out a resolution
OF the sort mentioned by Senator Al
drich he had no objection 10 his resO-
luttOns being referred.
They were accordingly referred to the
Finance Committee.
Similar disposition was made OF Sen
ator Clay's resolution relating to de-
pOsits in national banks. Before this
resolution was referred however Sem
ator Clay spoke briefly but vigorously
against the Treasury's S practice of piling
up S25, 900 900 IN the national banks with
out Interest. He said that money had
been collected from the American peo-
pie by taxation and was being loaned
back to them by the banks at a high
rate of interest
Senator Tillman had resolutions pend
ing covering substantially the same
ground as those of Mr.. Clay and Mr..

iutions were allowed to lie over unril
