Steuben street, and had the duck and

WRITES LORDS PRAYER
TWICE In DIMES SPACE.

In a space that can be covered by
ten cent piece the Rev. p. c. wike,
who conducts the English Lutheran
services in the Swedish Lutheran
Church on Summit street East Or
ange, has written with pen the Lords
prayer twice. and the statement that II
was written by him and presented to
his wife on Thanksgiving day of this
year.
Mr.. yyilke heard of man confined in
prison having written the prayer
once in similar space and sent it to
his boy, and decided to try the ex-
pertinent, with the result that he was
able to write considerably more than
the prisoner had. 1t can be read with
the naked eye.

N. Y. is conducting some interesting
experiments on the value of dwarf
apple trees in business orchards, says
the American Cultiyator. 1t is the
idea of Mr.. Powell that trees of low
habit of growth will be required more
and more. because of the need of con-
venience for spraying and harvest
ing. The scale insects make it al
most impossible to thoroughly treat
large trees. and the cost OF labor
makes a saving at harvesting time OF
great Importance. Two styles of
dwarf trees are under trial. The So
called Paradise" is very dwarf and
is short lived. The "Doucin" stock Is
half dwarf, making trees 16 to IS
feet high, and promises good results

Fine Hay For the shear.

Second crop hay, il permitted to
get too ripe before 1t is cut, becomes
unpalatable and woody. For that
reason many do not value 1t for sheep
feeding. It must be remembered,
however, that first crop hay may get
woody too. and that 1t does not con-
tain such a vast amount5of the es-
pecially desirable fine growth as does
second crop says Farm, Stock and
Home. In an experiment recently
conducted, first crop hay was fed
against second crop to breeding ewes.
About 1-1Oth more of the first crop
hay was fed, and yet this lot made
only. very small gain, Those fed on
second crop made a large gain. Tie
bunch fed first crop hay rejected COM
siderable because 1t was coarse, which
was not true Of the Other bunch It
was estimated that the second crop
was worth about one-foprtn more for
