WHY FRUIT BUDS.
BLOOM AFTER FROST

Many people are curious to know
how buds on fruit trees may. burst
forth into what appears to be full
bloom after It is known that the crop
has been ruined by frost
In order to understand this it ia
necessary to understand the mAke-up
of flower. In the very center of the
flower is found the part which de-
velops into fruit. This has from one
to several stem-like parts, called
styles, which project above the sur
face of the flower. The immature
fruit with its style or styles, for it win
be found to have fve in the apple and
pear and only one in the stone fruits,
is called the pistiL Next come other
slender organs, the stamens, which
bear sack-like bodies on their ends.
Pollen is produced in these sacks or
anthers and is the material out of
which bees make bee bread. In order
that fruit may be produced it is nee
essary for pollen to be deposited ON
the ends of the pistils. Here, IL con-
ditions are suitable, the pollen grains
germinate much like the seeds and the
germ tube works its way down
through the pistil and into the imma-
ture seed, where fertilization is ac-
complished- This is where insects are
valuable to the fruit growers, for in Q
great many instances the parts of the
flower are SO constructed that the
transfer must be made by mechanical
means. So without insects to do the
work for US some kinds would fail to
produce satisfactory crops.
1t will be seen from the above that
the pistiis and stamens are the es-
sentiaI parts of flower. None of the
other parts are necessary to fruit pro-
duction. 1t is generally considered
however that the brilliant parts are
useful in attracting insects. But they
may be cut entirely away without in
jury to the young fruit; in fact, this
is quite commonly done in plant breed
ing.
The young pistil is the most sensi-
tive to frost of all parts of the flow
er, and must be examined before in
jury can be detected. II it has been
injured it will be found to be shriveled
and discolored- The condition of the
fruit buds can be determined at any
time during the winter by this means.
But while the pistil may be dead the
petals are often uninjured and may
expand as though the blossom were
capable of setting fruit
With a little care anyone can de-
termine the condition of the fruit buds
in his orchard and all will find this
knowledge source of much salts

ADMIRERS OF ~RlLLY- SUNDAY
TO VISIT HIM IN PENNSYLVANIA

The Lincoln, Ill. News-Herald of
last Tuesday says:
"Criticise Rev. Billy" Sunday as
you will: find fault as many of US do
with the manner with which he coIl-
ducts his revival meetings; neverthe-
less there is something attractive
about his personality; something that
draws men to him When he first
went to Charleston. in this state, the
last point at which he held a revival.
the people greeted him rather coldly:
he was somewhat discouraged at the
end of the second weeks. labors, and
threatened to abandon the field unless
the church people came up to the work
at hand. But since he closed the meet
ing and has gone to Sharon. Pa, the
citizens OF Charleston have arranged
for an excursion TO go to Sharon to
greet him there and fully one thou
sand persons expect to go on the ex-
cursion. When the distance between
those two cities is considered 1t Is
remarkable that so many people can
be found who are willing to travel that
distance to again greet the evangelist.
He must be a remarkable parsonage"

Registered mail marked by the
sender to indicate that delivery be
made to the addressee in person can
be delivered to no one except the ad-
dressee, not even to a parent or guar
dian. A husbands mail SO marked
may not be delivered to the wife; nor
vice versa. This rule which is made
by the government to carry ont obli-
cations for which the sender pays
when he so marks registered mail
sent out by him, is one against which
many people kick when they are in
|convenienced by it. The rule has
been steadily enforced at the Canon
City office for many years, but post
masters and clerks in other cities and
towns have not done SO strictly. This
has caused the issuance Of an order
from the postmaster general at Wash
ington, a portion of which reads:
Registered mail indorsed for de-
livery to the addressee in person
must be delivered to none but him;
not even upon his written order; and
IL it cannot be delivered it must be

should be noted that the word per-

To keep this steamship moving, the
captain requires the assistance of hun

the right thing and the best thing in
order that the ship shall move stead
lily, surely and safely on her course.
Curiously enough, there are men
who are always falling overheard.
These folks who fall overheard are al
ways cautioned to keep away from the
dangerous places, still there are those
who delight in taking risks. These in
dividuals who fall of and cling TO the

When man is told to do a certain

creased plank that inclines toward the

the man himself.
And the way this plank is tilted is
this: The man takes more interest in
passing crafts and what is going on

So repeat: No man employed by a
