POULTRY AND FRUIT.
One Man Found the Combination q
Good Paying Proposition.


Ry the natural association Of ideas
one thinks Of some opposite or related
thing when another Is mentioned.
Thus white suggests black, the sun
the moon. summer suggests winter,
clouds suggest rain. and growing fruit
suggests poultry as natural and in.
evitable combination necessary for sue
cess.
Years ago one man started In to
grow fruits. The trees thrived, fruit set
plentifully. but there were worms In
the peaches, plums fell off, apples
dropped, grapes were denuded Of
leaves. and bugs Of various sorts work
ed in the strawberries and blackber-
rics.
Professional horticulturists advised
spraying with some Of the many fun
gicides and poisOns. But his small
amount Of fruit would not justify the
cost of q practical spraying outfit. and
the hand power sprayer was d back
breaker, besides proving costly anu IN
efficient
AS the damage to his fruits came
principally from insects. he determined
to get after them. In one corner OF
the grounds was a sweet pea trench
with plants perfect In leaf and bloom
that grew and blossomed prOfusely.
Every other trench Of sweet peas In
the neighborhood was riddled and
ruined by grasshoppers. An old hen
with flock Of chicks fist size tethered
near the thrifty trench Of peas sug-
gested the poultry and fruit cOmbina'
ton. If they kept the bugs from the
peas enough of them would keep down
the insects In the fruit yard.
A strong argument for the fruit and
poultry combination IS immediate re-
turns. Under the most favorable con-
ditions you must wait for from two
to five years for good crop. Straw
berries alone pay well the first year
Grapes, blackberries and raspberries
yield we'll the second year and heavily
the third and fourth. Peaches and
plums should begin 10 yield well in
three or four years and apples In from
five to seven. But the hen pays the
next day after her purchase-pays In
eggs pays few weeks later In chick
ems and pays all the time in the de-
structiOn Of Insects.
If the poultry Investment is made us
n should be. when the trees are plant
ed, the results are much better. But
an old orchard may be cleaned up and
greatly benefited by cultivation. giving
the poultry n chance to get the grubs
that develop later into injurious III
sects or feed Oh tree roots. The hen Ia
her capacity to do good by destruction
of insects and to grow into money in
eggs and meat has the greatest posi-
bilities in the way of money maker
of anything OH the farm Without
counting the benefits. only figuring net
cash returns, the United States census
of 1900 shows that poultry brought in
400 per cent per annum. Their worth
to the farm because Of insects and
weed seeds destroyed is equal to an
other 400 per cent The health and
pleasure made possible by fruit on the
farm table the year round are fully an
other 400 per cent. No other comDina'
ton on the farm can come within hail
, ing distance Of this combination.

Sowing Wild Oats

From the way some people talk
one would imagine that every man
had installed into him at his birth
a certain amount of deviltry which
he must get rid of before he can be-
come a man of honor. Now, that
which is called sowing wild oats is
nothing more nor less than self
degradation to any young man.
1t dosen't make q man one particle
more of a man because he has pass
ed through a siege of riotous living
and indiscretion when he is nineteen
or twenty. 1t makes him just so
much more less of a man. 1t dwarfs
his views of life far more than 1T
broadens them, ana herealizes this,
afterward. And he dosen't know one
iota more of life, except a certain
phase of it, which, if it has glitter
for him in youth, becomes a repell-
ent remembrance to him when heis.
matured. There is no such thing
as an investing period in a mans
life; at one period it is as important
to him to be honorable and true to
the teachings of his mother, as at
another.

Girls AS Pearl Divers.

Most of the pearl divers of Japan
are women. Along the coast OF the
Bay of Ago end the Bay of Gokasho,
girls of Is and IA years 60 to sea
and learn to dive as soon as they
have finished their primary school
work. They are in the water and
learn to swim almost from babyheod
and except in the coolest season OF
the year, they spend most OF their
time in the sea. They wear special
dress, white underware, and the
hair twisted into a firm knot. The
eyes are protected by glasses.to pre-
vent the entrance of water. Small
tubs are suspended from the
waist. A boat commanded by a
man is assigned to every or III
women, to carry to and from the
fishing grounds. When the divers
arrive. at the grounds they spring
into the water at once and begin to
gather oysters at the bottom. The
shell fish are dropped into the tubs
suspended at their waists. When
the tubs are filled, the divers are
raised to the surface and hauled In
to the boats. They dive to a depth
of from 5 to 80 fathoms, and re-
tain their breath under water from
one to three menutes.
Their ages vary from13 to 4oyears
and they are in their prime between
% ami 35.

In writing a county history, a
native of the same has certain great
advantages, especially in his fam
ilarity with the region. On the
other hand a stranger has it in his
power to be exceptionally fair and
impartial to every one. If he
throws away this highly important
advantage, he fails in his duty.
Then again, the preparation of a
county history demands a special
skill and training that are seldom
found.

The Annual Slaughter o
Trespassers on Railroads.

Trespassers on Railroads.
1t is not generally understood
how large proportion of the deaths
and injuries on the railroads of this
country is due to the risks willfully
taken by trespassers who persist IN
using the right-of-way as a public
thoroughfare. The annual reports
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion for the past eleven years show
that, during this period, 10000
were killed or injsred, and that OF
this total, some $4,000 were killed
outright. The large ratio of fatal
tiles to injuries, which is several
times larger than the ratio that OBJ
tains in the case of accidents to
passengers and employees, suggests
that practically all of these accidents
were due to trespassers being struck
by moving trains.
The records of the Commission
show that in 1898, a ,063 trespassers
lost their lives on American rail-
roads; that five years later the No.
of killed was 5000, and in 1907 it
rose to 5,612 that is to say, on
every day of that year an average
of over Is people lost their lives
entirely through their own folly in
in trespassing on the right-of-way
of the railroads.
Figures complied by the Pennsy-
Ilvania Railroad alone show that
465 passengers lost their lives on
that systems lines in 1899, and
7S1 were killed in 1904; while in
1907 the number reached 915, an
average of about three for every
business day of the year.
In the last-named year, this COM
pany inaugurated vigorous cam
paign against trespassers, and as
result the number of fatalities in
1908 was reduced to 757.
There is no country in the world
where the loss of life due to trespass-
ing on railroads approaches these
| figures, not even if we take into
consideration the smaller mileage of
the railway systems in Europe and
elsewhere. The difference is easily
explained. 1t is due to the string
gent laws in Europe against tres
passing; to the careful policing Of
the tracks; and especially to the fact
violations of the law are invariably
punished. Here in the United
States, conditions are exceedingly
lax. Some of the railroads, and
notably the one referred to above
endeavor to enforce the law against
trespassing on railroad property.
The Pennsylvania Company exhi.
bit thousand Of warning signs along
the right-of-way; but unfortunately
the actual punishment of persons
violating the laws against thus tres
passing has been infrequent, the cost
of Imprisonment often lettering the
local courts from holding those who
have been arrested by the watchmer

Transportation by Air


The successful 3O0-mile trip of
the new Zeppelin passenger airship
recently, and the lO9-mile flight OF
Farman biplane with two army
officers of a fortnight previous, are
forcible auguries of the practical
utilization of both lighter and heav-
ier-than-air craft for the carrying of
passengers. The new airship
Deutschland" piloted by Count
Zeppelin himself, carried no less
than 20 passengers from Friedrich
shafen to Dusseldorf in the neigh
borhood of 9 hours time, and at an
average speed of 1888 miles an
hour. During one hour of the jour
ner a speed of 439 miles an hour
was averaged. The passengers
were carried in a mahogany-fnish-
ed cabin and had all the comforts
of a Pullman car, but most signifi-
cant fact of all, the trip was made
upon schedule and with all the reg
ularity of an express train. =
These two brilliant performances
of two representative types OF air
craft leave little doubt that in the
future, and sooner than was gener-
ally supposed. we shall have air
transportation lines of travel estab-
lished.
A Farman biplane has already
flown with four people, three of
whom were passengers, while the
latest Zeppelin airship, mentioned
above, has has on trial trip carrl-
ed twenty. This indicates that the
aeroplane will be the touring car
of the air, and the dirigible the
aerial omnibus. Automobiles OF
both these types can transport pas
sengers cheaper than do the railroads
even with the wear and tear of the
expensive rubber tires, and the
depreciation of the machinery allow
ed for. AS the aeroplane, at least,
requires little, if any, more power
than the automobile for carrying
the same load at the same or per-
haps at a much faster speed, it is
possible that this machine will ulti-
replace the automobile for cross
country business trips. AS Exam
Piles of this we have only to cite the
4-mile trip covered in 6 minutes)
of Graham White recently in his BIZ
plane, when he was hailed to courtin
England speeding his automobile.
After the judge had fined him for
speeding on terra frmd, he sped
back home by the air route safe
from molestation. Another French
aviator recently flew GO mile or
more to Paris to sign a contract to
take part in an aviation meet. AS
soon as he transacted his business,
he flew back again without mishap.
Only two or three weeks ago the
French war authorities awakened
by the message-carrying flights OF
Glenn Curtiss from Albanyto New
York, and Of Charles X. Hamilton
from New York to Philadelphia
and back, commanded Bleriot to
take a message from Chalons to
Paris. He jumped in his monoplane
and forthwith carried the message
to it's destination. These last men,
toned fights show the practicable
tity of carrying mail or light freight
Pby aeroplane, But the rapid and
comfortable transportation of in
dividuals will undoubtedly be the
immediate outcome of the great
| improvements that are continually
being made in dynamic flight.

They laugh you in the face, and seem to enjoy the fact that they make you run for your life" And. as the judge points out, the automobile, which may become a very formd- able engine of destruction by a mere turn of the wrist, is no toy for chil- dren to play with.

THE RECKLESS MoToRIsT.

In discharging the grand jury in the court of quarter sessions. Judge Bregy called attention in forcible language to the disregard of the rights of the pedestrian, of which the man sat the wheel of the automobile is not infrequently guilty. The man in the machine, in the fine, careless rapture of annihilating distance, sometimes allows himself to acquire the unfortunate mental attitude of careless contemptuOusness toward the foot passenger. The latter. no doubt, is often at fault. He will start to cross a crowded street without so much as a glance to right or left to see what may be bearing down upon him; often, preoccupied with business cares or professional re- responsibilities. he is oblivious to even the loudest, most insistent warnings. and even the awful brayings and ululations of the latest kind of horn fail to startle the dreamer from his reVerie.
 If there is real or assumed con- tempt on the part of the traveller in the 'benzine buggy for the befuddled pedestrian, the latter harbors and sometimes vigorously expresses his indignation at the reckless motorist who makes his heart stand still at

STATIONERY STORE APPLICANT
 QUiZZED.

The applicant for a situation in a stationery store was put through the third degree on apparently irrelevant topics.
 When three women and a man call at house where live a father, a moth- CT and three unmarried daughters how many cards should the visitors leave?' the manager asked.
 I'm afraid you've got me-" he said. Anyhow. if you will excuse me for saying so, I don't see what etiquette has to do with selling note paper and fountain pens"
 Tt has a lot to do with it." said the manager. Many people who have their visiting cards printed here are slow on etiquette themselves. Summer sojourners in town are especially like ly to get mixed on the calling card proposition. They have no book on etiquette handy, they do not wish to appeal to the neighbors. so when in doubt they confidentially ask the man who sold them their cards to settle the point for them. If he can't do it they hunt up a stationer who can."- New York Sun.
