Cost of Growing
And Packing Apples

We clipped the following from one
OF our exchanges:
The cost OF growing and placing
one box of apples npon the market.
using only the best methods and
highest standard OF pack as we do
been figured out at 80 cents, which
looks like splitting hair pretty fine
to jump at a conclusion. This figure
is the result of data collected from
chards ranging from nine to fourteen
years of age. In determining this
figure. the distance to the shipping
point was ave. aged at two miles,
making the hauling two cents a box.
Eighty-four per cent of these 300
growers started orchards with one
year old trees planted seventy to the
acre, at a distance varied from six
teen to thirty-three feet. The cost
of setting out the trees ranges from
Sl2 to S125 an acre, safe estimate be-
ing ten to twelve cents for each tree
planted. The cost of planting and
caring for an acre OF apple orchard
for the first six years amounts to
$40 while $50 an acre is the average
capital invested for bearing or
chards. The life of cultivation i'm
plements with ordinary care is ten
years. Ten per cent depreciation can
safely be made in most cases. Taking
all this into account. about 50 per
cent of the cost OF box OF apples is
til marketed.

June in Colorado
Hottest Since 1881

Eastern weather sharps say that
one for years. Fow listen to the re-
port from Colorado:
For June the mean temperature
was I0.1 degrees. This Is the highest
mean temperature since the summer
OF 1881. The maximum temperature
for June was 81 degrees, while the
highest record for June is 80 degrees.
July's mean temperature was 90 g
degrees. or "a degrees cooler than
the average. In forty years there
have been thirty-two hotter Julys.
The highest temperature In July was
81 degrees. or > degrees lower than
the record for that month.
In August the mean temperature
has been exactly normal, so far. The
hottest day the mercury reached 81,
while l05 degrees is the record mark.
In talking about Colorado temper
ature figures always keep in mind
that in extreme weather there Is
practically difference of 20 per cent
between Colorado temperature and
that OF the East. due to the absence
OF humidity In this altitude, and
also remember the difference between
day and night temperature In Colo
RADIO. The records for the first fifteen
days OF July showed that the aver
age day temperature In Denver was
less than the average night tempera-
ture in Chicago.
And so. from the above statistics.
we may conclude that June was
very warm. but July was unusually
cool. and August promises fairly
normal weather.-Denver Post

OLDEST. BEACON IN AMERICA.

The outer light of Boston harbor is Boston light. eight miles below the city and at the very outer end of the that ocean liners follow. It stands on Little Brewster Island, pile of rocks partly grassed over in its gentle. hollow on the sheltered side.
 Three families live here-those of the head keeper and his two assist ants. In all the inhabitants number a dozen souls, besides two dogs, cat and a raccoon. There are five by the town of Hull in conjunction with the state.
 1.-The school is kept in the third story of the head keepers house. There, in a large light room looking out in all directions upon the sea, the children do their studying and recite their lessons.
 The light itself is said to be, the oldest in America-built in 1715 by the government of England. It is of rough powder stone, hooped with iron bands, and its lean, whitewash- ed form is landmark and sea- mark far and wide.
 A rustic iron railway for carrying coal leads up from the water side to the engine house, where is an engine and boilers in which steam is kept up continually to operate the siren fog horns. Their great trumpetlike forms protrude through the wall / of the building on the seaward side. In foggy weather one can hear from the open windows the far-off mooing of the foghorn on the Boston ightShip, seven miles away, as the keepers on the Hghtship can hear this one at Boston light. Ift
 An old cannon lies on the ground near the lighthouse; it was provided by the Cunard Steamship Company before the foghorn was installed to give sfgnefs.sr It is unused. now: But in addition 10 the great revolving light in the tower there is a set of red and white range lights that give the location of anchorage for vessels in the channel. If they see red 1t means that they are out of theIr proper location but if white they are safe-N. Y. Evening Mail

PADS AND FASHIONS

Gowns without collars are still made.
 On many of the new suits braid is used as freely as was fur during the winter.
 Fichu cape collars of net, tulle or fine linen are used on house frocks of soft silks.
 to the trimming scheme of the new spring garments.
 Black and white lace is used for huge bows or for surface coverings on large hats.
 The smartest spring coat and skirt costumes are of heavy silk or fleece back satin. .. ~x-
 Gros-grained ribbon, with three or f1ve-jeweled slides, is much worn with the lorgnon.
 Many effective hats for children are of the mushroom type with downward turning brims.
 Skirts are actually full enough to make walking possible, but they hang absolutely straight. , $ Ribbon in blaek-and-whi checks and stripes is used on plain hats for wear with tailored suits.
 Quills and bows and ornaments of straw are a part of the trimming on some smart hats for morning wear.
 With. the jeweled lorgnette is worn a long chain to match, or what is newer, 9 chain that only falls to the bust.
 Stripes are still among the most mo- ticeab!e weaves for heavy suitings or for the f1lmiest of fabrics for evening.
 Pliable hoods for motoring are nf flexible hemp. silk orstraw, and are combined with suede and chamois or satin.
 In costumes and in separate waists the sleeves are almost without ex- ception short-elbow and three-quar- ter length.
 Red and blue, violet and blue, lav- ender and pink, and gray and yellow are combinations seen in many spring models.
 A walking hat of navy blue up-. turned at the sides, has across the top a large, sharply-pointed wing of old gold velvet.
 Huge collars of satin or chiffon velvet are now. cut in circular form. are extremely chic.
 ! Small bonnets of silk are being shown. They are of the early Vic-. dorian shape. The brim is "scooped" and very close-fitting. Coral has been one of the most sat isfying colors for the past season, and it promises to be one of the leading shades for spring.
 Molds covered with lace, satin and velvet crocheted buttons, enameted disks and all kinds of unusual alli- ances of fabrics are in vogue.
 Black, white and cerise are com bined in silk frocks. evening gowns and street suits. Millinery also shows this same alliance of colors.
 Quaint poke bonnets and various other picturesque bonnet forms are made up in straw with trimming of ribbon, flowers and lace.
 The new idea seems to lead to a supplementary border of a solid tone Silks, challies and cottons show this tendency to a marked degree.

THE COMING OF APRIL.

I heard the feet of April straying
 down a sunny glade. Through the beeches' gray-boughe eC
 reaches, gipsy maid; Soft as springtime. raindrops falling Clear as nightwood shoreward calling Stirred the, steps of April straying
 gone a-Maying down the glade. I saw her silver lantern, lifting
 through the evening haze, silver r-glancing, thro
 the spring sweet ways; Smoke-wreaths; light as springtime
 dreaming, Ger her fower-decked shoulder streaming, From her lantern, fragrant drifting
 vagrant shifting through the haze Those who met her, woodland wing
 ing thro' the wind stirred grass, Stars burned brighter, hearts were
 lighter, as they watched her pass; Morning skies were clearer, bluer, Hopes were surer, vows were truer, For the magic of her singing. blos-

A dash of rain
 On the window pane, And gl'nt of blue in the sky, ss A cloud, snow white -ss- And a rainbow bright, And a soft breeze floating by A green-roofed bower,
 And a springing flower, With a bird-song sweet and clear. A doubt-a dream
 And of Hope a gleam, A Fancy and then Fear.
 A wealth untold
 In the yellow gold Of the dandelions cloak,
 And jewels rare
 That the fountains wear Released from their icy yoke, A Light-a Gloom
 A drenched perfume, A robins wavering flight, Faith to believe,
 And a heart to grieve, Darkness and then a light.
 A sun-kissed flower.
 And a passing shower. That batters its beauty down, A soft blue sky
 With a cloud hard by, And laughter and then frown. The Dark-and Fair

 If you have a grievance and must speak te: relieve that unquenchable longing, state your case in as few words as possible and let the matter drop. Don't ."nag"!

 Don't dig up old, rusty hatchets, you will find enough new ones to bury every -day to keep you busy. Better far keep busy burying them. than .eternally digging them up to use in an ungracious, unwomanly war Of words.
 I am writing to you, my married husbands, and are tempted, oh! so often, to tell them all to him, over and over again.
