For the novice in the horticultural
business it is we'll to remember that
it is more satisfactory all around as
well as more profitable to set one OF
two varieties of apple trees of recog-
nized hardness and merit as to quality
of fruit than to dabble in ten or fifteen
varieties, which are quite likely to be
well described by saying that they are
good, bad and Indifferent.

Saloons make business-yes, more for
the saloon keeper, but less business and
more bad debts for the butcher, baker,
grocer, clothier, dry goods merchant
and newspaper man. They make more
business for the courts and jails and
fewer comforts and conveniences and
much less happiness for the town and
country home.

One western municipality that the
writer knows of has settled the tramp
problem in very effective yet simple
manner. The aldermen of the town
have passed an ordinance levying a
fine on any person who feeds a tramp.
Coupled with this. strict orders have
been given to the residents requesting
them to ring for a patrol wagon at
once when tramp stops and asks for
food. If he is there on the arrival of
the patrol he is taken to police head
quarters where he is given food and
clothing, if necessary. but where he is
made to work his board and lodging
out on city wood or stone pile So
we'll does this plan work that tramps
shun the town as they would q pesti-
lence.

In response to query as to how to
treat seed potatoes to prevent develop
ment Of the scab we will give briefly
the directions which have appeared in
these columns in previous seasons. Aft
er cutting the potatoes in the sized
pieces desired place them in a coarse
gllnny sack and suspend them for two
hours in solution made up at the rate
of half pint Of formalin solution to
fifteen gallons Of water. After the seed
has soaked the de.xred length of time
the sack may be suspended above the
barrel on couple of sticks and the So
luton allowed to drain back. This
treatment Of the seed should be given
short time before planting. Sufficient
time should elapse, however, so that
the seed may dry. Potatoes treated in
the above manner and planted on what
is known as clean ground-clover sod
breaking or land that has not raised
potatoes for a year or two-will pro-
duce an absolutely scab free crop. The
solution is good for use as long as it
lasts if the barrel is covered between
times

AS result of better mechanical han.
ding and treatment with preservative
solutions previous to being laid, wood
blocks are now being used for pave
ment and with very satisfactory re-
suits. The first wood blocks laid some
fifty years ago were left cylindrical
cs cut and were not treated, the re-
suit being that the edges soon broke
or wore off and the blocks rotted.
Those laid recently, cut in rectangular
shape and given preservative treat
ment, are giving the best of satisfac-
ton, surprising any paving material
but granite or sandstone in point Of
dura bility. 1t costs laid per square
yard from $40 to $3.50 as compared
with $3.50 for sandstone, 1926 for
granite, $3.50 for asphalt, $2.06 for
brick and 80 cents for macadam.

In many states health laws impose a
severe penalty for the selling Of milk.
cream or butter from cows which are
known to be afflicted with tuberculosis.
In states where no such laws exist the
creamery manager and the individual
dairymen should exercise every posi-
BILE precaution with view to locating
and wedding out animals that may be
sickly. and especially those that show
symptoms of being afflicted with this
disease The use of the milk from such
animals is a source Of danger not only
to the members Of the family, but to
all who partake of it. In such cases
state law ought not to be required to
make one follow a course that would
seem to be dictated by good horse
sense

In view Of the stress which the fed
eral government and many states are
now laying on the matter of a preser-
walton Of the forests of the country,
Arbor day should. take on an added
meaning with its interesting and pa
triotic observances. Not only should
the thought of the day be put into ac-
tual practice by planting trees in the
school yards to furnish shade and
make them more attractive. but there
should be instilled into the hearts of
the pupils at an early date the impor-
tant services which these trees render
to man and the duty that rests upon
all of so protecting trees and forests
already growing and setting new trees
that in future years the lumber and
fuel supply of the country shall not
utterly fail.
In the settlement of neighborhood

Every young woman who contem-
plates presiding over a home of her
own should know how to cook well, to
do plain sewing and understand the
essential principles involved in an eco
nomical and intelligent management of
her household. If in addition to these
acquisitions she can play, sing, paint
or draw she is just so much the better
endowed. The average husband, whose
heart is so often most effectively ap.
pealed to through his stomach, has diff
ficulty in reconciling soggy mess of
biscuits or an india rubber pie crust
with a finely executed musical classic
from Wagner or an aesthetic home
wrought panel of daisies or pansies.

In the vicinity where the writer lives
representatives Of a foreign grocery
house canvassed for supplies, and bill
of goods which one of their customers
bought, which was later put on exhibit
ton. contained several eye openers.
One of these was the fact that the un-
suspecting buyer had paid SO cents per
pound for a cheap tea that was not
worth cent more than 30. The same
order included thirty pounds of soda
at about the same price that it would
sell for at the local grocery store, but
there was enough of it to last for four
or five years. The same bill of goods
which the peddler asked Sal for could
have been bought on tick at the local
grocery for $32, and for $27.50 if cash
had been paid. as it was to the peddler.
The experience which these buyers had
would seem to suggest the wisdom OF
at least giving the home merchant an
opportunity to bid on bill of goods
before it is given to the representative
of the foreign house.

The difference in the value of seed
corn that will produce yield of twen-
ty-five bushels of corn per acre and
that which will yield fifty bushels
with no additional effort except that
involved in husking is $3.50, this on
the assumption that the twenty-five
extra bushels of corn are worth $3.50
and that one bushel of corn will
plant seven acres This is a very easy

PREVENT
MISUSE
OF STAMPS

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 23-
Officials Of nearly all of the more
prominent railroad systems Of the
country wrote their names on the
register OF the Clifton hotel this morn
of the American Association of
Transportation aud Oar Accounting
Officers. Several important reports
we're presented by the various com
mittees
Among the subjects touched on
by the committee on conducting
passenger transportation are suburban
traffic. electricfation of suburban
roads aud the economical length Of
baggage cars.
In the matter of suburban passen-
ger service. it is stated that but
twenty eight American roads operate
such system. confined to thirteen of
the principal cities, with popula-
tion of twelve millions. In the mat
ter Of suitable cars. the committee
recommends the type of steel frame
side door cars in use by the Illinois
Central at Chicago. While the aver
age seating capacity of suburban cars
is "a, these cars will seat 100 Each
car has twenty four sliding doors. al
lowing them to be emptied almost
instantly One hundred passengers,
1t is sta ed, have been discharged
from car at terminal station In
four seconds. By mechanical ar
rangement, the doors Of each car are
closed and locked simultaneously.
Concerning the electriflcation of
suburban roads. the West Jersey and
Seashore railroad Is used as an OK
ample Of method of power which
Is steadily increasing in efficiency.
Respecting the economical use Of bag
gage CARS, the committee recommends
those of from 30 to 60 feet.
In order to obviate the temptation
OF railroad employees for the misuse
of postage stamps. the committee on
railroad business mail recommends
that the recent provision of the post
Office department. allowing large
users of stamps to perforate them
with private mark. may be taken
advantage of by all railroads.
