APPLE TREES ON ROADS.
Set Along Highways Would Occupy
Ground That Would Otherwise
Be of No Value.

writer in the Rural New Yorker,
In speaking of the advantage of plant
ing apple trees on the roadsides, says:
am very much in favor of the plan.
and know of no particular disadyan-
tage. Trees set along the highway
occupy ground which would oth wise
be of no value, and really add so much
to the workable land of the farm. The
ground along the highway is usually
fertile and rich, from the fact that
most of the growth has died down up
on 1t for years, and IL has also been
enriched from the road. Now that it
seems to be pretty well established
that good growth and fruit can be
obtained by the mulch system, and
the mulch can be grown beneath.
see no reason why it is not an ideal
spot for an orchard. 1t is sometimes
urged that there will be considerable
stealing by travellers along the road.

few apples that might be taken, you

fence in the field, as | find that a row
of trees shades the ground, and unless

outside they do not bother.

would not be good place along the
railroad. provided the company would
give permission for the same. The
only disadvantage could think of
would be, II the trees were set too
thick they might prevent the road
from drying out in rainy weather and
In some places cause drifting of the

TO ABOLISH THE FLY

1t happens every day, and 30 one
pays very little attention. Maybe 1t
is the butter, or perhaps the slice Of
bread alongside ones plate. Or else
quite possible, it is the milk in the
pitcher. But, whatever it is that at
tracts the omnipreeent fly, its appear
ance, rs it crawls over the food on the
table, is unappetizing, says the Tech
nical World.
The health authorities of New York
City estimate that about onehaf OF
the deaths from typhoid in the mo
tropolis annually are attributable t"
the distribution of the germs by flies
But, serious as the matter is, it Is OF
vastly less importance than the des-
truction of human life, particularly
that of young children, by the bowel
complaints which these insects are
chiefly instrumental in spreading. 1t is
reckoned that deaths from these latter
maladies in New York would be re
duced from 1000 to about 1000 year
if proper precautions were taken TO
prevent the breeding of flies.
The insects will breed in fermentin2
vegetable or animal material of almost
any kind. Garbage suits them first
rate. The maggots and chrysalids have
been found in great numbers in rotten
straw mattresses, among old cotton
garments, and even in waste paper that
had been exposed to wet.

THE WOODRUFF Investigations so
ten days and all that it has yet dew
eloped is that there was some crooked
work in the Hurt deal but this dis
covery was made by the republicans
over three years ago. Of course the
democrats are seeking to make great
capital out of this investigation but
thus far it has served to act only as a
boomerang and the promise of the
whirlwind committee to involve a few
:" higherups" has thus far proved a
dismal failure.

A RECENT dispatch from Seattle
tells of the death by his own hand of
a man 80 years of age who said in n
letter ''the secret of my failure lies
in the fact that my parents did not
value education. He said further
that his father was n failure and so
was his brother because of the lack
of an education While the general
public will not justify this mans ira
aic ending because of the reason he
assigned, it must be admitted that in
this age the possession of knowledge
means almost everything and the man
who is not educated is seriously handi-
capped in the struggle of life. There
is scarcely any excuse whatever for
ignorance in this progressive age. 1t
is n lodestone which almost inevitable
drags one down to failure.

retail saloon in the state of Tennessee
WAS put out of business. According
to the law, which was passed by the
legislature over the head of the COVE
nor. the brewers have six months in
which 20 dispose of their property and
on January l, 1910 they will close shop
and the making of intoxicants will
cease in the southern state.
Memphis now enjoys the distinction
of being the largest city in the United
States to have the dry" flag waving.
900 saloons have been doing a thriv-
ing business for years, but they are
all closed and it is said the authorities
will not stand for any bootlegging or
other violations of the anti-saloon law.
1t is claimed that the brewers and dis
tillers and retail liquor dealers have
more than $40 600, 900 invested in booze
making and dispensing properties and
that nearly 10000 men were employed
handling the stuff.
Some years ago it was not even hint
ed that Tennessee would ever be ou
the water wagon, bnt if the vote of the
last legislature is any criterion, Tenn
essee is there good and solid and will
stick to her demands that the saloon
men seek other territory in which to
ply their trade.

ARMY AND NAVY NEWS

Kenneth Whiting, Z. S. n, who COM
mands the submarine Porpoise at Ca
vite, Manila bay In order to demon
strate a means of escape from a sub
marine that becomes disabled and sinks
to the bottom of the sea, Ensign Whit
ing tried the experiment of having
himself shut in one of the torpedo
tubes of the Porpoise while the little
submarine lay at the bottom of Manila
bay, and then by his orders the port at
the outer end of the tube was opened
and he swan to the surface and return
ed on board.
The experiment was hazardous in the
extreme, and under some circumstances
would have been impossible of success
full performance. Ensign Whiting, even
at the slight depth at which he per-
formed his experiment, would not have
been able, with his own strength, to
have made his way out against the
pressure Of the water. He chung to
the port, and when it was opened by
the power of the vessel under the con-
troll of the second officer within, he
was pulled out of the tube, and when
clear Of the tube he was able to swim
upward to the surface. That, in his
case, being fine swimmer, was a com
paratively easy feat.
The trial is of value to show how in
certain eases escape from a disabled
submarine is possible. It is obvious,
however, that a man could get out that
way only in case the port could be
operated by some one remaining be-
hind, and the last man inside would
have small chance for his life.
