they ought to be run at the same time.
Where this combination is attempted
the real estate usually runs downhill.
The man who plants a tree whose
shade he may not live to enjoy and Of
whose fruit he may not partake is
good citizen, for he has faith and is es-
sentially unselfish. The country needs
more patriots of this type and among
the younger generation as we'll as the
old.
A freak in grating Is reported by
two brothers. miners, who have a gar
den near Delta, Colo. They grated
scion from a four-year-old apple tree
on to a service berry tree body. and in
due time the inserted limb blossomed
and bore two fine yellow apples. The
union is a rather violent one and the
results achieved quite unique.
In his book Swine In America" Sec

The wonderberry war gees merrily

who pronounce the wonderberry vul-

a long price. while as many others
are equally warm is singing its praises.
1t seems to be a case where a fellow
must hear the evidence presented and
then be his own judge.
Considerably better heating results
may be had with the deep fire box of
the average steel range if the fire is
checked quite a bit shortly after be-
ing afarted. especially if the draft is
strong. This causes the flames to rise
more directly to the griddles above
and not scoot up the chimney unused.
The air draft below the fire and the
check draft in the pipe may be regu-
lated to secure the above result.
A thought that should be consoling
to the large class who have not be-
come seriously inoculated with the
money getting microbe is that its pos
session can add no essential element
of content or happiness to lives and
homes already provided with the ne
cessities and comforts of life. Hap
piness is the result of an atmosphere
and spirit developed in the heart and
home and is not dependent upon the
owning of large estates on fat bank
accounts.
In selecting material for the bank
ing of the house it is we'll to use that
which when packed down with a COW
ering of snow will be the nearest air
and wind proof. On this account
earth from the garden can hardly be
excelled. Straw or stable manure is
good. but the odor from the latter may
bother. while the ammonia gases like
ly to come from it may discolor the
paint on the lower clapboards. A strip
Of tar paper extending from the ground
to above the point where the banking
will reach will obviate this latter diff
ficulty.
A butter specialist gives the follow
ing suggestions for keeping the taint
Of silage from the milk Of cows which
have it as ration: The silage should
be fed only after milking, the floors
should be kept clean and no silage al
lowed to accumulate in the alleys. no
more silage should be fed than will be
eaten up clean. corn should not be put
into the silo too green. and none Of it
should be fed in a moldy condition.
and, lastly, the stable should be kept
well ventilated. In view of the well
known susceptibility of milk to odors
the above suggestions are timely.
A new idea has lately been hit upon
by the proprietors of the Cafe Martin
Of New York city in the serving of
their fancy fruits. An order was
placed this season with Hood river
fruit grower for a number of boxes
Of bright red Spitzenburg apples which
should have the word Martin" ap-
pear on the red cheek in golden yellow
letters. The grower secured this re-
suit by pasting the word cut in paper
on the cheek of the apples just before
the fruit began to turn red. At pick
ing time these stencils or the diverse
Of stencils were removed and the fruit
carefully packed. 1t is fair to assume
that the process was tedious one and
that the grower got fancy price for
the fruit thus treated.
