PROTECTING FRUIT TREES
FROM DESTRUCTIVE FROST
This Proper Equipment Of Fire Pots SO
Atmosphere of Orchard May be Warned-
Time Get Ready.

(By C. L. MINCER, Hamburg. Iowa)
It ofen happens that a backward
crop or one that is too far advanced
by early spring is injured by frost.
Down In Florida. the costly experience
OF the orange growers. q few years
ago. in the loss of their groves by an
untimely frost, led to the equipment.
not only of the orange groves Of the
south, but the fruit crops in all parts
of the country, of frost-aghting ap-
paratus, with which to warm the at
mosphere.
or our one thousand four hundreo
bearing apple trees. about nine hun
dred were in the block that we pro-
tected and saved with a few over =
thousand small size crude oil burning
orchard heaters last spring. when
many of the orchards in the Middle
West were stripped bare Of their fruit.
Protecting an orchard from frosts
on a still night, even with a very low
temperature is comparatively easy
compared to protecting 1t during sew
eral days of freezing weather. sleet.
and hail. and with a high gale blow
ing. Us was the case last spring.
One orchard of seven acres. that
had never failed before. looked as II q
severe fire had gone through the
trees. and was almost a total loss.
On the orchard that was protected we
had full crop. OF this orchard there
were three or four rows on the north
and west sides that had few apples.
Had we placed row of oil pots
around the outside OF the orchard. We
think we would have saved those trees
also.
Last season being a month earlier
than usual. made us hurry our prepa-
rations. for we were pretty sure we
would need the protection. Usually 1t
is during the first part Of May that
the frosts kill the fruit. but last year
II was in April.
On the night OF Saturday. April 10.
at Q p. m. the thermometer was thir.
ty-four degrees. By IL p. m. 1t was
twenty.seven degrees: at 3 n m.
twenty three degrees: at a. IN. close
to twenty-five degrees. the lowest We
noticed. although we had very little
time to watch the temperature. At
a. m, inside the orchard 1t was thir.
ty-three degrees at several points ana
thirty-two degrees at others. The TEN.
perature did not raise to thirty-three
degrees outside the orchard until
nearly noon the next day. All night

PECULIAR AFTER EFFECTS
OF GRIP THIS YEAR.
Leaves Kidneys In Weakened Condition

Doctors in all parts Of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
of grip which has visited SO many
homes. The symptoms of grip this year
are very distressing and leave the sys-
tenn in a run down condition, particu-
larly the kidneys which seem to suffer
most, as every victim complains of
lame back and urinary troubles which
should not be neglected, as these dan
ger signals often lead to more serious
sickness, such as dreaded Bright's Dis
ease. Local druggists report a large
sale on DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which
SO many people say soon heals and
strengthens the kidneys after an at
tack of grip. Swamp-Root is great
kidney. liver and bladder remedy, and,
being an herbal compound, has gen
tie healing effect on the kidneys. which
is almost Immediately noticed by those
who try 1t. DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hamton, N. Y, offer to send a sample
bottle of Swamp-Root, free by mail, to
every sufferer who requests 1t. A trial
will convince any one who may be in
need Of 1t. Regular size bottles so cts.

The market grades OF oats depend
on the color of the grain and its free

The legal weight Of a bushel Of oats
in most Of the states Is 80 pounds.
About pounds Of straw are usual

proportion of straw may be material

ties and in some seasons. or II may
be materially Increased. The hull usu-
ally comprises 30 to IS per cent.
Of the grain. though the range is from
little more than 20 per cent. to about
IS per cent
Analysis show that oats are higher
in protein than corn and about equal
to wheat and barley. They are high
er in ash than any OF the other grains,
and considerably higher in fat than
either barley or wheat. On account
of the hulls. oats contain the highest
percentage OF crude fiber. an undesir

From "The Blue Bird"

In Maeterlinck's BLUE Bird" little
Tyltyl goes to some far-of heavenly
place to learn that love abides with
him at home. There he meets Mother
Love. He says he wishes to stay with
her always, where she looks SO beau
tiful to him. She answers: But it's
Just the same thing: l am down be-
low, we are all down below. I.
You have come up here only to real
