Mr.. Bryce began by saying that in Gnu
merating the services which Great Britain
and the United States had rendered to the
world It must not be supposed there was
any intent to dsparage the achievements
and the contributions TO human progress OF
other nations. The progress Of the civ
ilized peoples had been due to the combined
efforts of all the great races. he said. and.
indeed. largely to the stimulus which each
race had given 10 the others so that each
was the debtor to the others for its own
advance.
AS respects literature, a primacy in its
highest form. poetry might be claimed for
our race. so far as the modern world was
concerned. Mr.. Bryce said. Neither Italy
nor Germany, still less France and Spain.
had such list of illustrious poets as ours
from Chaucer down to Wordsworth and
Tennyson.
After referring TO what England and
America had done in the way Of exploration
and conquest, Mr.. Bryce dealt with the
contributions made by the two nations TO
the science and practice Of political insti-
tutions and political life. He dwelt upon
the way in which methods of local and self
government and of national government by
the people had been worked out in England
in the seventeenth century. and how there
after the development of these methods
had been further continued so as ultimate

by Britain and the United States had been

JUST WHEN TO PICK PEARS
Should Always Be Done Before Fully
Ripe, Without Bruisine and With
Stems On-Also Graded.

Pears should always be picked care
fully before fully ripe. without bruis-

be laid carefully in the picking -bask-

or so. and then be hauled to the pack

ment II is usually better. in most
cases, especially with summer fruit,
to pick the trees over two or three
times. although this is not absolutely
necessary. and unless the trees are
overloaded may not be worth while.
When the fruit has not been properly
thinned and the trees are overloaded
many growers begin to pick the fruit
long before it is full grown and send
it TO market. By this means the trees
are not only relieved somewhat. but
the fruit that is left swells TO the
largest possible bulk; moreover, salts
factory returns are often secured from
the early pickings This method is
particularly successful with Clapp's

varieties will ripen up tolerably well

and Kieffer pears. but these should be

SAVING THE GIRDLED TREES
Grating Is Often Necessary Where
Mice and Rabbits Have Been at
Work-How II Is Done.

II is often necessary to resort to
grating TO save a tree that has been
girdled by mice or rabbits. This is
done by forming what is called a
bridge graft The wound should first
be dressed by cutting away the rag
ged edges and painting the exposed
surface with lead paint.
Slender scions are used and are cut
thinly. wedge-shaped at both ends and
from sne and one-half to two inches
longer than the wound is wide. Slip
the knife blade between the bark and
wood on one side OF the wound. Start
one end Of the scion under the bark
and push down firmly, then spring out
the scion and start the other end I'M
der the bark on the other side in the
same way.
The scion should now extend three
fourths TO one inch under the bark on
each side. The bark is tied tightly
over the scions and the whole. scions
and all. covered with wax. These
scions are 20 serve as a bridge
through which plant food may pass
and If growth starts on them It should
be rubbed OF. They should be set as
close together as possible around the
stem.

The average old-time farmer was prone 10 look

he did not see any way out OF the dilemma-at

carriers could not be placed in districts where
the roads were not in fair condition This did
much 10 awaken the farmers 10 the situation. for
every rural home prizes the boon Of a daily mail

srs. who thus had their serious attention focused
upon the good roads question. found. as they
looked closer that bad roads meant hole in the
pOcketbOOk Of every tiller OF the soil. II began
10 be realized that Il farmer required the sery-
ices Of four horses and an entire days time 10

loss 10 him was just as serious as though he had
10 accept z very low price for the yield Of his
acres Herein is found the supreme incentive
among many that has enlisted the progressive
farmer in behalf OF setter roads.
One OF the best things accom- plshed for the
farmer By good roads Is that it has broadened
his markets With rocky or muddy highways en-
forcing sloE progress the average farmer was in
the cid days restricted 10 one market town-the
enc nearest his farm. Now with good roads he
can in shorter interval than was formerly re-
QuiTed reach any one Of several communities To-
Gated in different directions This enables him
70 attain the market where he can get the best
prices. Similarly with good roads the farmer is
not likely 70 be so restricted TO one railroad for
shipping facilities. If the road nearest his farm
viii not give him the cars he needs or otherwise
play fair he most likely has some redress by
driving across the countryside TO a rival line.
And the very fact that the introduction Of good
roads is destroying such monopolies has served
to render the railroads more obliging to their
farmer clients
The new countrywide Highway Improvement
association which Is TO hold its first annual con-
gTess in the near future will not seek TO drive out
or supplant the various good-roads associations
