That was Il good old comedy bishop,
who one fine day entered Il large Jew
Eler's establishment in Regent street
london. TO make an extensive purchase
of valuable presents. He selected
them with great care us regards their
artistic value. but quite regardless Of
cost. The proprietor and his assist.

tied and sealed. and he had just taken
seat in the private office Of the pro.
prietor and was feeling in his pocket
for his check book when two men, who
had been peering in at the glass door
leading to the street. walked up the
shop and stood behind the bishop.
They were plainly dressed. sharp look.

the ieweler:

Without Il word the bishop fol.

that President Taft has made
another strong bid for the affec-

his expression of a conviction
that baseball is the cleanest and
best sport in the world. No man

appreciate baseball.

BRINGS OUT ALKALI
First Step Is to Treat the Soil with
Gypsum, which Will Change
Soda to Sulphate.

Water brings alkali to the surface
wherever irrigation is practiced and
water will take 1t out. There are two
kinds of alkali-the sulphate of So
dunn and the carbonate Of sodium.
The first is called white alkali and
the second black alkali. The latter
is much more difficult to wash out
than the white kind. The first step
will be TO treat the soil with gypsum
which. being the sulphate of calcium
or lime. will change the soda in the
soil to a sulphate and then 1t can be
washed out. After trees are once
well established there is not likely to
be any trouble from alkali and espe-
cially is this SO II the soil is we'll
drained and the soda is the white kind
or is changed to the white alkali by
the use OF gypsum. When a field of
low land is badly affected with aka
line salts it may be necessary to put
in a system of open drains. A thing
system is still better and should be
laid three and one-half feet deep q
distance of so feet apart or SO.

SMALL ORCHARD ON FARM
For First Time in Many Seasons Lit
tie Patch in Arid Country
Comes Through Booming,

For the first time in a dozen or
more seasons the general farmers
little old orchard in the semi-arld
country has come through with good
round profit. The crops were not only
large but the profits were good, ana
in this way the owners of such places
caught the weazel both ways. says
Field and Farm. The result is that
the general farmers all over the coun-
try have not only sat up and taken
look around, but are out not
foot for nursery stock to increase
their paintings next season. and why
not? 1t is a good time to consider
whether the general farmer can
grow apples as farm crop or more
particularly whether he can AFFORD
to care for the trees now on the farm
SO as to grow fruit for family use and
for sale. provided there are enough
trees.
1t seems reasonable to suppose that
any irrigation farmer who has the
willingness to care for his orchard
and will follow a few plain directions
can do quite as well or better than
some of the producers of the present
season. 1t will be difficult for
man. farmers to name crop that
will give a greater net income for
series OF years and at the same time
involve less risk or require less cap
ital. To make a measurable success
of such a proposition. however, a
farmer must have little love or at
least respect for his trees and per-
form the various essential operations
upon them in careful manner and at
the proper times. II the spraying Is
left until he can find nothing to do
1t will never be done on time and
will seldom be effective. The farm
err is quite likely to conclude that
spraying is of no value. Some fruit
of fair quality can be grown with
out spraying. in some seasons consid-
cradle good fruit. but a paying crop
is never assured without spraying.
During the last year or two there
have been a few instances OF good
crops from unsprayed orchards.
This spraying could be done by
those who make 1t a business Of fur
nishing apparatus and materials and
go from farm to farm spraying small
orchards for less than 1t would cost
the farmer who owns a few trees. II
some reliable person can be found to
do this and do 1t on time by all means
secure him and pay the price without
grumbling. But few can command
such service and must do the work
for themselves. II 1t is done at all.
The outfit need consist only Of good
brass pump with barrel. rs feet of
hose. a good eight or ten-foot extern
sion rod and one or more standard
MOBILES. the whole costing from $50 to
SIS. which is only a fraction of the
equipment needed to grow other crops.

the institution which he has founded. Neither
could they have been induced to have brought
together their most valuable and cherished per-
sona effects for public inspection but for the

them.
We have therefore the first beneficial
effects of education and proper example upon this
neglected people. The changes which have been
wrought upon those coming in contact with this
institution have been rapid and sweeping that
1t challenges credulity. The difference between
them and the Navajos on some other parts of the
reservation is marked that they would not be
taken for the same people. and 1t is these differ
ences that commend the policies and practices
initiated by MIR. Shelton at this institution and
places it in favorable contrast with other govern
ment and private Indian schools
