a Quaint Old Riddle.

There was a quaint old book of
riddles published during the reign
Of Queen Elizabeth which contains
the following conundrum:
He went to the wood and caught IL
He safe him down and sought ":
Because he could not find Il,
Home with him he brought Il
The answer is, A man with q
thorn in his foot.
Marine Insuraneo.
Marine insurance is the oldest
kind of modern insurance. Its prin-
ciples were first employed in the
fourteenth century by the mer-
chants of Barcelona, in Spain,
when that city was the capital of
the kingdom of Catalonia and
when its hardy mariners were sec
ond to none in the world. About
the same time, and also at BARGE
Iona, the famous code of maritime
laws known as the "consulado del
mar" was promulgated, which is
the foundation of the present ship
ping laws Of every county.

THE OUTLOOK FOR PEACH

The possibility, of an overproduction

another side to the question.
In former article the overproduc-

that. so long as we are comparatively
free from most of the apple pests. the
perfection OF our apples will always
| find for them place in the markets.
The same line of reasoning appears
to hold equally well for the peach
In the first place the localities where
peaches can be grown at a profit are
small There are but few insects and
diseases to bother consequently our
fruit goes on the markets without a
In contrast to this. we We're interest

the appearance of every peach was
marred by blotches of fungus
growth. The eastern and particularly
the southern growers are practically at

There is yet no practical remedy for
this disease and il is responsible for
the loss of much fruit each year The
loss this season was heavy. due to
damp weather at ripening time. Then
there are numerous other pests which
not only destroy the fruit but attack
the trees as well. Last winter great
many acres of peach trees in the north
eastern states We're killed by frost. All
these things are discoura ging. and the
result will undoubtedly be that fruit
growers Will be conservative about ex-
tending their plantations.
In the meantime the markets are be-
ing extended as population increases,
and fruit is becoming more and more

also improving and railroad facilities.
so far as Colorado is concerned. must
soon be put upon a basis that will
compare with other sections of the
United States.
One need not be alarmed by the re-
ports of vast tracts of orchards being
planted in the northwest. Much of this
territory is but "a little above sea level
where the orchard pests of the east
have already appeared. Then. too. past
experiences have proved that. for var
ious reasons. "A comparatively small per
cent of trees planted ever develop into
paying orchards.
When we consider the above facts
1T would appear that those growers
who are careful in selecting good To-
cations need have no fear for the gem
eral future of their business.
