to admit the greatest possible amount
of sunlight directly into the pens and
upon the floors during the season
when 1t is most desired that 1t should
reach these places and also so that 1t
may be kept cool and comfortable dur
ing the summer heat For the latter
purpose shades may be drawn over the
open upper windows and the concrete
floors sprinkled with cool water dur
fns the greatest heat of the day The
roof should project far enough at the

NUT-BEARING
TREES BEST
Worthy Of Attention OF All Farm.
srs and An Many Casss They
WiII Be Found Probable
TO Grower.

(By r. @. wEATHERsroNE.)
Nut trees are worthy the attention
of all farmers and in many cases they
will be found profitable to the grower
and easy to get started.
Black walnut, chestnut. hickory and
butter-nut trees are propagated by
gathering the nuts in the fall before
they have become dry and planting in
April in nicely prepared ground as
deep as the diameter of the nut. either
where they are to grow or in a row
In the garden-in the latter case they
should be taken up the first winter
and buried beyond the power of the
frost.
II one half of the top roots are
pruned before setting the young trees
the lateral roots will put forth more
vigorous growth and the trees are
more sure to make = good. healthy
growth.
1t p to be hoped that these kind
Of trees win receive more attention
in the future than they have in the
past as there are few farms that do
not have fence rows or waste lands
that could be made useful by plant
ing to some variety OF nut-bearing
trees.

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Teisphons
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard.
ing the efforts Of an Eskimo to con-
struct telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession Of piece Of wire
of considerable length and never hav-
ing seen wire before he asked Profes-
sor Mcmillan of the Peary north pole
expedition what 1t was and what 1t
was used for He was told that the white
man strung 1t on poles stuck In the
ground and voice talking to an In
strument at one end could be heard at
the other end. After some search the
next morning the Eskimo was found
to be engaged in telephone construc-
ton work of his own. He stuck some
sticks in tho ground and hung his
wire on them. He held one end Of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
it at the top of his voice. Then he
ran as fast ~ he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated. tt
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion Of his white friend.

old an oyster Is. A summer hump and
the winter sink come across the shell

tenth year full growth comes; then.
by looking at the sinks between the
