The story Of the naming Of Ypsi-
lanti, Mich, dates back to the time
Of the Greek revolution. Some feel
ing arose over a name for the town,
and a meeting was held at which
the admirers Of General Demetrius
Ypsilanti, the Greek general who
was important rs a leader for the
people, won, and the Greek name
was given to the city. Some years
ago an attache Of the Greek lega-
ton at Washington heard OF the
city Of Ypsilanti. The evident or
igin Of the name interested him, and
he wrote 10 the mayor Of Ypsilanti,
asking how it happened that the
city had the name Of the Greek gen
eral, which he said was also his
family name. lie asked II there
we're any Greeks there and wished
to know something Of the city. The
reply told him something Of how
the city received its name, and he
responded with an offer Of a por-
trait Of his kinsman if the city cared
for the gift. Later this was re-
eeived and cared for-ArgoDaut.

growers prefer planting them III hills
seven or eight feet apart each way,
thus finding them easier to control
Larger fruit Is SO produced. as they
can be kept cultivated both ways.
Summer pruning Is important with the
blackberry. as the lower the canes can
be kept the better they are likely to
come through the winter and the cas-
Ter they are to handle. Summer prun-
ing consists IN merely plnching back
the young growth TO within about
eighteen inches Of the ground. after

The Open TOP Tree.

IT Is not necessary to go over the
tree trying to cut of every little twig.
The leaders are the ones that need at
tention When heading in these lead
ers it Is best to cut them off to a side
branch rather than to dormant bud
Frequently when an inexperienced
man practices heading In be is tempt
ed to shear the tree all over and leave
it smooth, oval form. It VIII be
seen that this is very different from
the method described above, where
only the leaders are cut back and the
side shoots thinned so as to leave an
open top. The amount of heading in
TO be done should vary from year TO
year, according as the crop promises
to be large or small. As the tree gets
older less heading In is usually neces-
sary.

A distinguished naturalist carefully
examined the stomachs Of fifteen moles
caught In different localities. but failed
10 discover therein the slightest YES
tige OF plants or roots; on the contrary,
they were filled with the remains Of
earthworms. Not satisfied By this
fact, he shut up several moles IN a
box containing sods OF earth, on which
fresh grass was growing. and smaller
cage Of grubs and earthworms. In
nine days two moles devoured $40
white worms. 1913 earthworms. rs cat.
erpillars and a mouse lskin and bones),
which had been alive ID the box He
next gave them nothing but vegetables
In twenty-fcur hours two moIes died
Of starvation. Another naturalist cal-
culated that two moles destroyed 90
600 white worms or grubs in single
year. If this is correct it Is strong
argument In favor OF multiplying
rather than destroying the moles.
