And 1t was all due to his proud and
doting mother.
She is typically a woman's woman.
For years she had been a widow and
lived in a house full of women down
in an Indiana town, where she saw
her son only enthusiastically and
where all her associations are with
women. And when she heard her son
was about to wed, 1t was only natural
that the things that appeal to wom-
an at such a time should associate
themselves with her son.
The result was trousseau for him.
It was a surprise, too. In order that

lrrinate Peach Orchard.

The amount OF cultivation and lr'
rigation that must be given to a
peach orchard depends largely on the
nature Of the soil Some soils require
much more work than others. There
should be enough cultivation to keep
the ground loose and sufficient irriga'
tion to keep 1t moist at all times dur
ing the growing season. II the ground
lies SO as to make 1t possible. we
would strongly advise irrigating both
wavs, running the water say north
and south first, then east and west
and thus reach all parts Of the ground
quickly but this is seldom done be-
cause Of the extra work required In
furrowing out. In dry season like
this one is mighty lucky to have the
irrigation applied in any old way with
on being very particular. 1t Is more
a question Of water than OF method.

TREE MUST HAVE IRRIGATION
Few Orchards In ssmI.ArId Regions
Profitable Without Good
Water Supply.

A couple OF correspondents OF Vel.

isolated instances where apple trees
and plum trees and fruit shrubs are
actually living without irrigation. This
may seem truly wonderful to those
men who think they have actually
found a mares nest. Why. we know
Of many orchards that are living after
a fashion. but We have as yet to learn
Of q single instance OF such an or
chard that Is success. We have all
the time advocated the planting Of
fruit trees and shrubs for home use
on the dry farm. II the farmer has =
we'll from which he can draw water to
keep these trees alive during the dry

making It profitable for bearing fruit.
The report Of the experts who recently
visited the Flathead orchards say the
crop Is greatly reduced and inferior
where no water was obtainable for ir-
rigation. The east side orchards above
the ditch are half dead and the crop
Is scarcely worthy OF the name. There

Use Of Grapes.

Owing to the general decrease In
sale Of Intoxicating drinks. grapes are
not now SO extensively grown for
wine. yet unfermented grape Juice is
becoming widely popular as a bever-

them for that purpose. For table use
they may be used green for pies and

men. OF course all these cannot be
traced as to their respective colleges.
but doubtless the great majority Of
them have college degrees.
This 10 a varied list. but those occu-
pations are calling more and more
college graduates. The chances are
that teaching will always call . large
proportion. not only because It 10 a
natural profession for a woman Of
scholarly tastes. but because Of the
long vacations which are denied to
women in other professional walks Of

POULTRY NOTES.
Don't sell dirty eggs.

Don't sell dirty eggs.
Select a breed popular In your 10
cality.
Buy your stock from some one who
has bred the same variety for several
years. He will understand the breed.
1t Is often cheaper to adopt the
breed to suit the conditions than TO
change the conditions to suit the
breed.
Keep pure bred stock It costs no
more to feed and care for It, and there
is a satisfaction that is impossible with
mongrel stock.
1t Is easier and cheaper to produce
uniform white eggs than brown eggs OF
the same shade Of brown.
Crowding. inexperience and working
with too little capital are the great
causes Of failure in the poultry busi-
ness.
II your hens are shut up are they
getting plenty Of green food? 1t is
necessary If you want good results.
Whenever you plan to build. whether
It be house. barn or chicken coop. take
note OF what sort OF drainage you can
get in the location you choose.
Cook some beans or peas. mix them
with wheat bran and feed twice a week
and see If you don't get lot more
eggs.
Be watchful for cases OF roup and
isolate the fowl as soon as she gives
evidences Of having the disease.
Good time now to dispose of those
surplus non-layers If they are not all
gone.
There's no excuse for dirty eggs.
and they leave a bnd Impression In the
mind of the buyer.
Leaves make n good litter for the
hens to scratch in, just as road dust
will make n good dirt bath.
Ashes are good thing to scatter
around the poultry yard.
Don't get the idea that lice will
freeze in the oold winter months. but
keep everlastingly after them.
