by the Experiment Station providing
for series of neig'hborhlood demon
station meetings to illustrate the up
to-date process in caring for ORCH
ards. Some men are making money

not. The difference is in the care
dhe trees receive. Here is a chance
every who wants to know, te
learn from observation instead of
reading. Thrs work should be OF the
greatest value to the fruit growers of
Indiana, especially 10 the larger
class OF tree owrners who now pos
sess small orchards and wish to get
something out of them in the way of
plentiful crops of sound fruit
These meetings. Will furnish just
the information that such men need
This information will be presented il,
a pSctical way. and the processes
discussed will be actually carried OH
in the orchards in which. the meet
ings are held, 80 that every step may
be thoroughly understood.
The Hortictsltu OF the Exper-
iment Station will arrange to hold a
meeting wherever IN orchard win be
provided and ten men will pledge
their interest II ne is an opportunity
to find out what TO do for your trees !;
how to spray, how TO prune, how and
wGlen to apply the remedies for the
San Jose sea- and to zee study

Weather Prophecies.

There are many reasons-pers sonal,
social and economic why men
should desire to know what the
weather is to be. And out OF long
experience there has come a knowl
edge OF causes or sons by which the
weather can be foretold for a few
hours, possibly for couple OF days
The weather lore OF sailors and farm
ers has been crystallized into pnov-
erbs-but all have heir limitations OF
futurity usually TO "a single day
The curiosity of mankind has not
been content with this however, and
thus there have always been eager
seekers after signs for longer periods.
These have been sought in the po-
sition or appearance OF the moon, the
thickness OF the husks on corn or Of
the fur on wosodchucks, or the shape
of the ..melt" in hogs The absurdity
OF all these signs" and the fact that
not half the time do they prove true
has not prevented a large amount OF
faith in them among credulous peo-
Pile
Even more absurd is the conf
denoe placed in the predictions of the
cid style almanacs telling the wealth
er which may be expected about
these days." as il any almanac maker
could foretell the weather a year
ahead! OF course, in this multirud-
inous guessing there must be occa-
sionaN cases which prove "hit," and
by popularity of human nature
these are all remembered while those
that miss are forgotten.
