at last, one day, Marcia said, Dear

But she did not say that the real
reason for her protest was because of
the prince. He was such a charming
prince, and she felt that for her own
peace of mind she must not see too
much of him.
And as Marcia withdrew more and more,

FRUIT GROWING.

If the recent annual meeting of the
State Horticultural society has been
successful in stimulating an interest
or a re-awakening in the growing of
fruit in Kansas, as many think it has,
something of a decided benefit to the
agricultural interests of the state has
been accomplished. SO much atten-
ton has been paid here of late years
to. the raising of wheat, and corn and
cattle, that horticultural activities
have rather been neglected. Then,
too, there have been several failures
of fruit crops, due primarily to I'M
toward climatic conditions. which have
been a bit discouraging.
Perhaps, though, some of the fruit
crop failures have not been due en-
tirely to sudden frosts and other I'M
timely happenings of nature. 1t is
probably we'll within the truth to say
that most farmers, unless they devote
their energies entirely to horticultural
pursuits, do not pay the proper atten-
ton to such orchards as they have
planted. They just stick out a lot of
trees in given space of ground and
trust to Providence to do the rest. Oc-
.casionally they get big crop in re-
turn, but more often their fruit crops
are miserable failures.
Fruit trees will not do their best, or
do much of anything at all for that
matter, unless good hard work and all
kinds of attention are paid to their Gull
ture. A concrete instance of this was
noted the other day by the Lawrence
Journal. The apple crop of this year
was pretty much of failure all over
the state. And yet as the Lawrence
paper points out, w. E. Barnes of Vim
land raised 5000 bushels of apples in
his orchard. The secret of his success
is attributed to spraying his trees and
Kidding them of the web worms and
other insects which are death to fruit
crops. 1t is a good deal of trouble to
appear to be worth the efforts.
There is also the new wrinkle which
was mentioned at one of the sessions
of the Horticultural society's meeting
to battle against frosts. This is called
the oil pod. 1t is a little sheet iron
stove which burns crude oil. Fifty or
one hundred of them are distributed
over an acre of orchard They are
kept filled during the early spring,
and if, at night, it appears that it will
be cold enough to frost, torch is
taken through the orchard and all the
stoves are lighted. They send up enough
heat, providing the wind is not blow
ing too strong. to ward off frost or
even light freeze. Many is the valu-
able fruit crop that has been saved,

Immieration From canada.

Thursday, inquire of the ministry what
steps were being taken to prevent emil

Mr.. Taylor calls attention to the re-
port of Colonel Van SAINT. American
consul at Kingston, that that city dur
ing nine months ended September 80
had lost 500 citizens through emigra-
ton to the United States.
Emigration in that direction is
larger than generally appreciated. It
has been estimated that there are
100000 persons of Canadian birth
in the United States. a careful inves-
tigation several years ago showed
there were 100000 in the New Eng
