the pronunciation district of New Eng

pronunciation district of the lie-down
collar belt of the Middle West.
Bahston, to get down to actual facts,

straight, long streets, it being possible
To walk three blocks in a Decline down
any one of them toward drug store
and not discover that it's a totally diff
ferent drug store three blocks up an
entirely different street, Bahston is
supposed to have derived its name
from Boston in Lincolnshire, England,
which got its name from st. Botolph,
but this is not true Bahston was
named Bahston so that all the Bahston
hotellSeepers and merchants could
easily spot man from Chicago who
would call il Borston and could stick
him accordingly.
Bahston had great fires in 1876. 1873,

the warmth of its inhabitants. Bahs-

The Apple Crop.


The apple crop in some sections of New
England is the finest 1t has ever been so
far as respects quality. In some por-
tons of southern New Hampshire the
burden on the trees is feast for the
eyes, to go no farther Many trees have
to be supported, so heavily laden are
they, and the fruit grows in lunches
clear to the tips of the limbs, as it is
represented on the trees of Western or
chard lands that sell for several thous-
and dollars an acre And it is not stunt
ed fruit either, but an aggregation of
great roly-poly apples, fair and round.
The improvement in quality is due to
the greater care that is being taken with
the orchards. especially in the matter of
thorough spraying. which the apple men
credit with the gratifying result In
only one respect does spraying fail to
good effect The leaves stay on longer
because of that process. and as the sun
does not have as free access, the color is
perhaps not quite so rich in appear
anee. But other results much more
than offset that. OF course other atten-
lions are necessary, but enough has been
accomplished to show that we need not
go or send to Hood River or the Wenat-
chez district for the best apples in the
world. They can be grown right here in
New England.

Some Stripers.

Anybody guaranteeing to kill a
skunk without leaving an odor will
receive a reward from Oscar A. Bing-
ham, assistant claim agent of the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad, who resides
on Highland avenue, Merose. The
animal has taken possession of Mr.
Bingham's residence and is safely en-
trenched in the cellar.-News Dispatch
in Boston Paper.
Years ago farmer in Mercer, Maine,
found his home in just such predica-
ment. And in his cellar was a sup
ply of butter, milk, cheese, etc, worth
many dollars-untainted The skunk
came forth, in the day time, to sleep
in the sun in the roll-way. In the
same town lived a man of renown as
hunter of big and small game, ready
wit and prompt decisions. His name
was Groves and he loved the woods
and brooks of Maine, and understood
the dispositions and customs of the
dumb population thereof.
Naturalist Groves was sent for, post
haste, by his troubled townsman, who,
by the way. is reported to have been
just lettle bit nippy. Groves was
greeted with:
IF you'll git that consarned eritter
out o my suller without drivin' us all
out of the neighbordood, I'll give you
ten dollars
"All right. said Groves, who then
reconnoitered. He saw the skunk
sleeping as peacefully as kitten. He
crept down and suddenly lifted the
little striped animal by the tail and
calmly walked out into the dooryard
with it.
The farmers conscience" smote
him. That's too blasted easy" he
declared, Il won't give ten dollars
"All right" said Groves. keep your
skunk!" With deft toss he flung
the now awakened and indignant
striper back into the cellar.
We didn't wait any further, but
there is a moral: If Mr.. Bingham of
Melrose, gets safely rid of his caller
he will do we'll to pay the reward
without grumbling; otherwise he may
get his.

The Case of the Farms.
lNeM York Glohe.l


story both glorious and inglofious
is told by the census bulletin concern
ing the farms.
First as to the glorious side; The
total number of farms is 6,3sl,oo2. with
practically the same number of owners.
Our most important and most basic IN
dustry is thus not monopolized, The
disease of bigness and consolidation,
if lit be disease, has not attacked the
agricultural interest The farms beck
on to all those eherishing an ambition
to be economically Independent. 1t is
still within the reach of any young
man to he his own master on his own
acres If he so wishes In the indus
trial world there are a few big prizes,
but the many necessarily draw blanks.
In the rural regions few big prizes sre
hung up, but there are no blanks for
the thrifty and intelligent. The farms
are still doing their great educa tienal
work. more vital and beneficial than
all the instruction of all the univer-
stiles, in training nearly a third of our
population to be real men and women,
and thus something more than cogs
in a machine.
but they are prosperous as they never
have been before. So far as returns
are concerned the last ten years have
been the golden period of American
agriculture. In the ten years there has
been nearly a 100 per cent. increase IN
the income of the average acre. Land
values have gone up almost in proper
ton. enriching The owners. The mort
gage debt, now but 27.3 per cent. of the
land value, against 35.5 per cent. in
$780, is less of q burden, and is COM
ing more and more to represent bor-
rowings on which the farmer earns
more than he pays the lender. fore-
closures have never been so few-oVer
wide stretches of country being UNI
known.
But there is another side of the pic
t,lre. OF the 6.361, 500 farms, 2,354,676, or
more than a third. are occupied by
tenants. The increase of tenantry dur
ing the ten years has been 1863 per
cent. 1t is Incoming more and more
the habit of successful farmers
throughout the west to move to town
to educate their children and to enjoy
closer social contact. They think they
have earned the right to rest, and they
have. But the tenant seldom makes as
good use of the land as the owner.
One of the main objects of the land
banks whose creation President Taft
recently recommended would be to lend
money to tenants on easy terms and
thus enable them to get title to the
land they now rent. Something is
needed along this line to abate the evil
of tenantry for the rise in land val
ues is making it more and more diff
ficult fer an unassisted tenant to buy
the land he tills.

and understandings, and the cultivat-
ed appetites and passions of the COM
bination.
The United States government is in
the business of criminal making, for a
profit that in million years could not
pay for the soul of Cornelius Dona-
hue.
If the claims of the booze makers
We're true-that no restriction of Their
traffic can be enforced-even then
would it not be infinitely better for
our government to frown upon an I'M
holy traffic than to encourage it?
Is Cornelius Donahue more guilty OF
this animal like brutality in taking the
life of his mother than is the United
States government; than are the
stockholders in booze making and
booze selling establishments?

Editorial Comment
Pool and Cards,

ikansas City Journal)
With the recent shooting of a local
saloonkeeper by three young men
fresh in the public mind, a Kansas
City minister preached a sermon last
Sunday on youthful associations,
taking for his text this passage from
Proverbs: He that walketh with
wise men shall be wise; but COM
panion of fools shall be destroyed
One of the hoys who held up and
shot Hatch confessed to a life CT
profiigacy and Incidence. i've al
ways been good mixer" he said.
Even when left school | could play
good game of pool and cards.
When / needed money /
would get in a game of pool or cards.
Sometimes won SIS or SO a day. L
never thought of going to work"
1t is the uniform testimony of police
and judicial authorities that most of
the crimes of burglary and highway
robbery are committed by mere boys.
And whenever such crime is re-
ported the police always begin their
search for the criminals in pool
halls and whist pariors.' If these
sources are exhausted, then the po-s
lice go to the spaghetti Joints" and
rooming houses.
Kansas City is no worse perhaps in
respect to disreputable resorts than
other cities. Yet it is a fact that the
low pool halls and card rooms are
sources of more injury to the morals
of boys than the saloons. One of the
young assailants of Hatch con-
fessed that even before he left school
he was good pool and card player.
He won money almost every day he
played these games. He never
thought of going to work while such
opportunities for dishonest employ
ment lay in his way. There is not
the least doubt in the world that the
proprietors of these pool halls and
card rooms knew that this boy was
playing for money. That is the class
of players invited to certain resorts
known as pool halls. Kensas City
has many such.
