Peach Pits for Planting.

The peach, which Is supposed to be
a native of Persia and China, was
brought from Persia into Italy by the
Romans, and soon found it's way into
Britain and France, and is supposed To
have been brought to this country
about 1850 by the settlers.
In it's adaptability to the soil and
climate of this country the peach has
as wide a range as any other fruit and
the fruit is considered the greatest
luxury of it's season, writes E. S. Black
in Rural New Yorker New Jersey had
the distinction for years of being
one of the greatest peach-growing
states in the country, and old men
have told me of the immense crops
that they have seen grown on the then
virgin soil, and which often had to be
made into peach brandy, as the mar
kets were giutted with the fruit and
transportation facilities were few and
far to reach. Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, New York, California and all
the western states looked to New Jer
sey for a supply of peach trees. MUIR

MATCHED AT HIS OWN GAME
Traveller Had Journeyed Far, But Evil
IDENTIFY There Were Things He
Had Not Heard OF.

Shakespeare's dictum: "Home-keep-
Ing youths have ever homely wits"
seems to be qualified by the appended
story, quoted from a writer in the
Richmond News-Leader:
Echoes" remarked the great trav-
eler, ARE queer things. They're queer
for two reasons-their cause. and the
vast differnce in their sounds. Sci
ence has explained why there are
echoes, but it can't tell why one
should reverberate with bass tones in
response to a shrill tenor yell, while
another reverses this, or responds nat
urally."
II reckon you've heerd number o.
echoes?" hazarded the young man,
whose farthest trip from home was a
distance of 1914 miles.
Rather! / recall one in Switzer-
land the echo rolled for just four sec;

one in the Pyrenees that jumps six
times; first loud and harsh, then low
and soft, then loud again and SO on.
There's one In the western part Of
Germany that holds a full sentence
of seven words before releasing a
sound, thus rivaling a certain echo in
Afghanistan, which doesn't repeat un-
til a minute and half have elapsed"
I'D like to hear a few O. Them"
said the homestaying chap, with fine
show Of usefulness.
"Of course you would" responded
the traveller, encouragingly. There
are few things in the world more in
teresting than a good echo"
You're right" said the other
thoughtfully. Il amt ever been but a

Testing of a Mountain Gun.

was, chatting at the club with some
service men one day last week when
the question of trials with new
guns cropped up. One of my friends
had had to do with the ordnance COM
mittee some years ago. He told us
of small light gun which had been
submitted to the war Office. The in
ventor claimed that it could not only
be carried intact upon mule, but that
it could be fired from the animals
back. A day for the demonstration
was appointed, and the committee at
tended. A mule, with the gun on
him, was led up in the line of targets.
The committee stood round, the gun
was loaded and would have been dis
charged had not some one suggested
that II was safer to fire it, for first
time, with time fuse. This sugges-
ton was adopted and a 15-second fuse
attached to the gun. The gun was
pointed toward the butts and they all
stood away. Left to his own devices,
the mule appeared more interested
in some thistles than in the trial, and
slowly turned itself round, with the
muZzle pointing at the lookers-on
There was yell of horror, and the
committee flung themselves fiat on
the shot went, but the recoil rolled the
unsuspecting mule fiat on it's back

south, when taken up to plant in the
orchard, were as a rule devoid or Ii
brous roots, and only straight or tap,
root, with one or two coarse siX
roots, which made them unpopu
with the planters.
Fall planting and leaving them ur-
disturbed in the nursery row was The
reason assigned for the lack of fibrous
or lateral roots.
The New Jersey nurserymer
thought that the winters of this sec
ton were too severe; or the constant
freezing and thawing would heave tho
pits out of the nursery row, and to
avoid the poor root system in part;cu'
lar of the fall-planted seed, avoided Che

adopted the bedding system-puttirg
the pits into a bed about four fee'

quantity of seed bedded.
The seed was put in the beds from
five to eight inches deep, and some
sand or soil mixed with them, Their

with sand or soil and left until they

HOW TO SELL
GOOD VEGETABLES
Prepare Product with Same Care
that Fruits Receive-Farmer
VIII Soon Have Trade No
One Can Take Away.

The following good advice to mar
ket gardeners is taken from the Min
nesota Horticultural:
IF you are located near city
where you can market produce from
the wagon, you will find that If you
prepare vegetables with the same care
that you do fruits, and be honest all
the way down to the bottom OF the
basket, you will have a trade that no
one can take from you, and your prod
uce will bring a premium over the
average market. The same rule holds
true If you are shipping to other mar
kets. A packet rightly packed Is half
sold, and is an invitation to buy an
other. 1t is always advisable. before
planting your crop, to know to some
extent where and how you will dispose
of 1t. Make all preparation before the
time of harvest What might be seri-
Gus losses are often avoided by look

Dauuhter's Room.

Every mother should, where 1t Is
possible, permit her daughters to fur
nish their rooms according to their
own taste. Only in this way a girl
can find an opportunity to express her
own individuality.
Even where it is not convenient to
allow the daughter to do the furnish
ing mothers can encourage the selec-
ton of good photographs and orna-
ments with which to decorate. Some
of the pleasantest rooms in many
homes are those in which the daugh-
tiers of the house have been allowed
to show their individual taste. The
care and arrangement of such apart.

ual pleasure and development to the

of congestion, while relieving the
painful coughing. Get the following
and mix at home: One-half ounce
fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce CON-

the bottle and take twenty drops every
half hour for four hours. Then one
half to one teaspoonful three or four
times daily. Give children less, ac-

Keep Them EMPLOYED.

Always keep the children employed

chief. If you don't find them some
thing to do, be it ever SO trifiing, they
will probably find an occupation for
themselves, very likely the one thing
you don't want them to do.
No matter what is being done 1t
should be done to the best of the
child's ability, and neatness and care
should always be praised and en-
oouraged. Children love to be en-
ployed, and next to an occupation
they await immediate recognition for
l.he work done and praise for success
full effort. Encouragement will not
hurt the normal child.

factories are not nearly so invitinS
as those received from other sources,
yet there is some advantage in grow

are near at hand not much care will

crop. The main point being to pro-
duce the greatest bulk at the least ex-
pense. Very little is needed in the
way Of packages, and many items &c
expense are saved. To be profitabA
