oN-HEAD ED ORCHARD i TREES RI:
Three Feet 10 Common Height for
Apple, While With Peach and
Plum II 10 Much Lower.

Commercial orchards Of apples and
pears are nowadays headed much
lower than formerly, three feet being
very common height for starting
the head OF these trees, while with
the peach and plum the head is
started even lower, eighteen to TWEEN
ty inches being common height.
The reason for this Is that in GER
tain localities, where windsforms are
frequent. the low-headed trees are
less likely to be broken, lose q
smaller proportion OF their fruit. and
are less subject to injury from sun
scald as the low heads Of the trees
serve to certain exteD. as a shade
for the body. 5:s
The cost OF harvesting the fruit
from low.headed trees is much less
than that OF gathering from tall trees.
With the low-headed trees a consid-
cradle portion OF the crop can be
gathered by the picker standing upon
the ground. while with high-headed
trees the major part Of the work
must be done from ladders, which
greatly extends the time required to
do the picking, and consequently, I'm
creases its cost. Pruning, spraying.
trimming, as well AZ harvesting. will
be found to be more convenient on
low than high headed trees.

One who 10 desirous Of stud ing the

easily do so BY observing the labors
of the little garden spider common
to all localities These beautiful
webs, circular In outline. with radiat-
ing threads running from center to
circumference and supporting Sc

by naturalists az the highest archi-
tectsral achievement Of the spider.

The threads are 10 hne as almost to be
invisible in some lights, and at the

4 Result Of Saving Manure.

Twenty tons Of corn silage per acre
was the crop harvested this fall By
George u Hyslop, Henry county, Ohio.
He uses 1t for fattening cattle and
hogs. But the most interesting thing
about this big yield of silage is that It
Is the result Of the proper utilization
Of barnyard manure. Mr.. Hyslop says
30 himself. The manure shed has an
Important place on his farm and care
Is taken to prevent loss OF plant food.
Mr.. Hyslop has only recently finished
building new $4,000 barn. which Is
designed to facilitate the care OF ma
.nure as we'll as shelter the stock.
This barn is 80 by 80 feet and has
long feeding sheds on two sides, with
foundation walls and hoors of con-
crete, allowing for the accumulation
Of two and a half feet OF manure. The
cattle are allowed to run over this
manure and keep It well tramped
down. The barn has capacity Of 1913
head OF cattle. 40 hogs and Z horses.
There are four big silos. of 160-ton
capacity each. in the center Of the
building. 5S

OF opinion that at the beginning the
only kind Of web that any spider
knew how to spin was simple cocoon
intended to protect Its eggs. Then a
web for the protection OF the spider
itself from its enemies was woven
around the cocoon. This web had an
opening for ingress and egresa and
such webs. intended for use only dur
ing the time. that the eggs are hatch
ing. are still spun by some species OF
spiders. The next step was the devel-
opment OF snare. 1t has been sug-
gested this may have resulted from
the accidental spinning Of threads
over and around the. opening Of q
tubular retreat surrounding a cocoon.
In all this there may be discerned
some resemblance to the progress Of
architecture among men. The earliest
Representatives OF the human race
were content to dwell in caves and
rndeiy constructed huts. Then more
elaborate dwelling places and build,
ings intended for other purposes were
constructed. until, by successive steps,

be handled with great care. says a
writer in an exchange. We expressed
our early apples because we had not
enough for a car on account Of un-
even ripening. We find summer ap-
pies more profitable than winter va,

sgenuity and perfection Of geometric
form are conceded. The naturalist Is
not satisfied with the reply that it is
a matter Of instinct. He learns that
there are wide differences to be
found among the webs OF different
spiders. and his observations lead him
to think that he can discern = sort
OF actual progress. which he calls evo-
luton, in the art Of web making
among spiders. s
The common house spider spins a
web quite different from that Of the
garden spider. The house spiders web
consists Of silken tube hidden in a
