PLANT THE RIGHT TREE.
Write and Get Information from the
Agricultural Department.

In every region of the United States
there is at least one forest tree, and
generally there are several forest
trees which can be planted with a
complete assurance of commercial sue
cess if the plantation is properly es-
tablished and given proper care. The
government has made very careful
study of most of the forest plantations
in the United States. It's publications
on tree planting may be had free of
charge upo1 application to the forest
service, United States department of
agriculture, Washington. The studies
on which they were based were made
especially for the benefit of farmers
and other land owners, and to prevent
the waste of thousands of dollars an
nually lost by planting the wrong trees
or by improper care of plantations.
From the manner in which our nat
ural timber has been cut it is clear
that each region will have to be made
as nearly self-supporting in timber
growth as possible. The lesson of the
past is that the right forest trees
grown in the right way will bring
big profit.

CHERRY TREE SLUG.
How 1t Can Be Easily Killed by Poison
Sprays.

The Colorado station gives this adj
vice for treating the cherry and pear
tree slug: ''The slugs feed so freely
upon the surface of the leaves that
they are very easily killed by any Of
the arsenical poisons, such as arsenate
of lead, arsenite of lime, or paris
green applied in moderate strength.
One pound of the arsenate of lead to
each % gallons of water, or one pound
of the paris green to 100 gallons of
water, will make preparation of suf-
ficient strength to promptly destroy
this insect. Sometimes it is necessary
to make an application when cherries
or plums are nearly grown when 1t is
not advisable to cover the fruit with
an arsenical poison. In this case one
can use white hellebore in water in
the proportion of one ounce to three
gallons. If the hellebore is used, it is
a little better to apply towards eve
ming. Try to distribute the spray as
evenly and thoroughly as possible to
all the leaves Of the tree without using
enough to cause it to run off TO any
great extent. Where only few trees
are to be treated, one may use air.
Stacked lime or fine road dust, throw
ing the dust very freely over the sur
face OF. the leaves. This remedy is not
quite so effectual as the preceding,
but can often be used with entire sat
isfaction."

velopment. One very prevalent GUS
tom is that which requires a sutton
to serve the parents of his intended
bride for a period more or less long
before marriage. 1t is really a sur
vival of the purchase stage in the
evolution of marriage, is universal in
extent and is typified by the account
in Genesis of Jacob serving Laban.
The remedial law, or that which
pertains to the enforcement of rights
and duties, is usually the slowest in
development and in its origin is in
variably connected with superstition.
Our Anglo-Saxon forefathers tried
causes not by evidence, but by the
ordeal, usually test. in some form,
of physical endurance, which is also
a universal institution, in England
lasting till 1915. In some form it is in
use among probably all the primitive
Malay tribes to-day and at least one
form, the boiling-water test, is iden-
tical with that employed by the Anglo
Saxons. Gov. Knight of Nueva Viz
caya tells me that among the tribes of
his province the ordeal, or trial by
battle, which was not abolished in
England until the nineteenth century,
is still in vogue"

Mrs. Jones was disinclined to talk
specifically about the details of the
various holdings which make up her
own vast possessions in New York and
throughout the United States. She ac-
knowledged that her husband and her
self were interested in almost every
branch of industry to greater or less
extent But when the conversation
would approach anything that related
particularly to her personal business
affairs or those of the great Jones es-
tate. of which she is a sharer, she in
variably shifted the conversation to
matters genealogical or to generalities.

TRAINING TOMATOES.
Method by Which the Fruit Can BE
Kept from Rotting.

The best method / ever tried is to
train them to a stake. This is a safe
guard against rot, as it keeps the fruit
off the ground. / cut stakes from sap
lings 21A inches in diameter and five
to six feet long, choosing those with
small branches all the way up. The
branches are left about four inches
long.
Stake the plants as you have time
after they are set out. When they are
one foot tall tie them to the stakes
with good, strong Irvine, and with
some assistance later on they will find
support and cling to the branches. Oc'
casionally, continues the writer in
Farm and Home, some will not take
hold, and you will have to tie them
higher on the stake.
This plan could not be followed in
field cultivation, but in small family
garden it works like charm. They
should be given continuous cultivation
all through the season il you want
plenty of fruit.

THRONES OF RUSSIAN RULERS.
For Centuries 1t Has Been Custom of
Each Gar to Have New One.

For 500 years it has been the custom
for each of the cars of Russia to have
new thrones, new crowns, new scep-
tiers, and new coronation robes, and at
the close of each successive reign
these have been deposited in what
is called the treasury of the Kremlin,
together with the valuable gifts each
has received at the time of his corona
ton and during his reign from his fell
low sovereigns or his subjects, says
the Detroit News Tribune. Exhibited
with them are the thrones, and crowns,
and coronation robes of their consorts
and those of the rulers they have over
come in battle, and whose domains
from time to time have been annexed
by conquest to the Russian empire.
Thus, in the treasury, a visitor can
have an epitome of its history written
in gold, silver and precious stones.
There is succession of crowns
upon pedestals standing before the
empty thrones of those who wore
them; also the crowns and thrones of

the Jones family goes back to Queen
Anne, SO it is likely Mrs. Jones will
retain possession.
Founder of the Family.
The foundations of her vast fortune
were laid by Maj. Thomas Jones, "who
came from Strabane in the kingdom of
Ireland" and settled with his young
wife near what is now called Oyster
Bay, l.. l., in 1893. He brought with
him comfortable fortune, won on the
seas through privateering privileges
granted him by James H., whose cause
he fought for in the battle of the
Boyne. This fortune has been handed
down from the eldest of one family to
the eldest of the next through five
generations, until now the bulk of the
vast accumulations rests with Mrs
Mary Elizabeth Jones.
Mrs. Jones is the daughter Of
Charles Hewlett Jones and of Eliza
beth Oracle Gardiner. She was born
July 5, 1854, and was married to DR..
Oliver Livingston Jones, her cousin,
when she was 10. They have six chill
dren, two daughters and four sons.
In summer and in fact at intervals
during the winter, the family live in
the old Jones manor house, at Cold
Spring Harbor, L. I. There is nothing
ornate or especially striking about
this country home of the woman who
is perhaps the richest of her sex in
America. 1t is simply a large, we'll
built mansion of the later colonial
style of architecture, of which it is one
of the best examples in this country
The rather battered surrey, driven
by the son of the owner of the ''hackin'
business" at Cold Spring Harbor,
stopped in front of the main entrance
to the mansion and remained there
during the hour and more that the re-
porter was talking to Mrs. Jones.
The richest woman in America was
gowned quite simply in something
light blue. comfortable and we'll worn

The present car sensibly decided not
to have new throne. From the large
assortment of those belonging to his
predecessors he selected one made OF
ivory filigree work and exquisite carv-
ing which was captured from India in
1873. The czarina selected a gor-
geous throne of ebony, heavily in
crusted with jewels, which was cap
tured from Persia in 1906. 1t bears
SIC diamonds and 1928 rubies, besides
many other stones of lesser value.

CUSTOMS OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Show an Exceedingly Primitive Stage
of Development.

OF the survival of curious Malay
customs in the Philippines Judge
Charles S. Lobingur said before the
meteorological conference at Baguio:
THE Philippine archipelago offers
fertile and fascinating field for the
student of historical and comparative
jurisprudence. 1t is probably the only
country in the world where the three
cosmopolitan legal systems-Roman,
English and hammedan-exist side
by side. But these are all exotic and
underneath their thin veneer lies a
substratum, which may be found all
the way from Apart to Zamboanga.
The family law is usually the Oldest
branch of any legal system, just as the
family itself is the oldest of human
institutions. And as the basis of the
family, the marriage relation is one
of the earliest subjects of archaic law.

throughout the Philippines indicate
an exceedingly primitive stage Of de-

~ VIEW YORK.-The richest wom-
A an in America-or in the
ICY world-may not be Mrs. Hetty
Green. The greatest land-own-
er in America may not be one
Of the Astors. These are the
conclusions that probably would be
reached if the Green and the Astor
possessions could be valued correctly
and the figures compared with those
which would represent the vast wealth
of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Jones Of New
York and of Cold Spring Harbor, l.. /.
Further than that, the social crown
of America, long held by the Astors by
reason Of their wealth, would belong to
Mrs Jones if she chose to claim it, for
her fortune is doubtless greater and
her lineage in this country runs a cen
fury further back She is related also,
far and near, TO nearly every one of
the great families in New York and
New England whose names are written
large on the pages of American history
from the days of the Colonial wars to
now.
Probably no one, not even Mrs.
Jones herSelf, could say accurately
how great is her fortune. 1t is mostly
in land She acknowledges that she
owns and pays taxes on land in every
school district on Long Island, in
nearly every county in New York
state and III every state in the union
except Texas. The property immedi-
ately surrounding the old manor house
at Cold Spring Harbor, where she
lives in summer, is worth millions of
dollars.
Her husband, DR.. Oliver Living
ston Jones, is also a great landowner,
but his possessions fall far short of his
wife's. Then there is the Jones estate,
which is owned by some 25 heirs,
which also runs up into scores of mil
lions in value. Three or more thea
tiers in New York city are owned by
aer, and it is said to be her ambition
to own property in every city in the

concluded to sell it. No, l don't care
to say what the reasons were.
"That is the only property / have

ago. My rule is to always buy and
never to sell. In fact, that is the rule
that has been handed down to us from

policy has been to lease the lands we
own for terms of years and to keep
investing the surplus income"
