Eoreion Pears.

One or the finest foreign pears is
the Flemish Beauty, says the Stock
man. II originated in Belgium over 90
years ago. 1t is Of good size and at
tractve appearance and the quality is
tine. The tree is a vigorous grower
and it has shown itself valuable in
standing the severe winters of the
northwest, But in Pennsylvania and
the middle west it is very much in
cTned to pear blight. This is so great
a drawback that it cannot be recon-
mended: especially when there are SO
many other fine varieties that are but
little troubled this way. Among the
later are Bartlett, BoUssock, Howell,
SeckeI, Bose and others, all Of which
are Of fine quality and can be relied
on to bear good crops.

LEAF MOLD OF MUCH VALUE
Nothing Better Suited for Improving
Flower Beds or Adding TO All
Kinds Of Soils.
By ". r. GILBERT1

This term is applied 10 leaves when
they are so thoroughly decayed as to
readily separate into small particles
Leaf molds is a valuable manure in
many instances, especially on heavy
soils, and one Of the most important
ingredients for the soil used in the
successful cultivation of the majority
OF plants
It may be used freely, particularly
With the tender seedlings and cuttings
Of soft wooded subjects, provided it
be of good quality and free from in
furious fUIgoUs growths.
The production of roots in young
plants Of this description is induced
and accelerated with more certainty
By planting in this material than BY
the use of euy other.
The quality Of leaf mold depends
very materially upon the sort of leaves
composing it and in the manner Of
/ preparation adopted
It is found from experience that
the best leaves are those collected
from wood or other place where the
/ principal trees are beech and oak, and
where their leaves fall over a large
/ surface each year, and naturally decay
slowly, until those beneath the sur
face become changed into a light
mold
Leaf mold Of good quality may be
used to the extent Of about one-third
in cOmposts for azaleas, greenhouse
rh0dOdendrOns, and many f1ne-roOted,
hard-wooded, plants Of this descrip-
ton
Tt may also with advantage be in
corporated along with peat in the
/ preparation of beds fer nearly all
plants of the heath family which are
/ grown out of doors.
Further. nothing is better suited for
improving fower-beds, or for adding
to soil Of any description, for placing
round trees. shrubs or plants whose
roots it is desired to encourage.

VIBRATION FOR SAVING BUDS
Limbs Of Tree, Starting Sap and
Afforcing Protection.

r recent invention relates to a new
system Of motor operated tree vibra-
ton for saving buds and blossoms
from frost The new system aims
TO create in fruit trees a movement Of
the sap to the buds and blossoms that
tends to vitalize them enough to re-
sist the attacking blight Of frost This
movement of the sap might be called
a capillary action, and can be Iik-
ened to the gentle exercising action
of an electric vibrator instrument On
the human system which stimulates
the flowing action Of blood through
the veins, especially at the point
where the vibrator is applied.
The system for. imparting this vi
bTatory action to buds and blossoms
has been worked out and patented by

Suicide AMONG German Children.


Why do so many German children
commit suicide? No one seems to-,
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed it has been said that
the majority of suicides are those of
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grissly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the wall" has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind of
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the encouragement of failure. 1t
would be interesting to know if any of
the so-called heather countries of the
world have ever experienced such
horrid social phenomena as that of
child suicide.

THE CONTRACTS
ARE ILLEGAL
Supreme Court Cancels Agreement
Between Anthracite Companies.
THE OUTPUT WAS CONTROLLED
Combine Of Railroad and Independent
Companies Prevented Competition,
the Judges lIecIare-Opinion
Unanimous.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE suprem.
court Of the United States has can
celled as violative of the Sherman
antitrust law the contracts by which
railroad-owned coal companies in the
Pennsylvania anthracite fields h. j pur
chased the output for all time of "in
DEPENDENT mines.
Attorney General Wickersham, in a
statement, expressed the belief that
the decision will SO completely de.
Stroy the combination which now con-
trolls the price of anthracite that it
must result in a distinct measure OF
relief to the public
The court also ordered the dissolu-
ton of railroad control of the Temple
Iron Company, by which the princpa!
railroads and their coal companies
we're found to have strangled a pro-
ject to, build competing road into
the anthracite fields in 1898, and by
which monopolizing schemes could be
put into execution handily in the flu
ture.
The government failed, the court
held, to show general combination
to apportion the amount of coal to be
put upon the market annually by the
various roads. The governments
other charges as to a general combi-
nation were characterized as "indef-
nite."
Minor combinations were held to
have been improperly included in the
petition of the government, and the
proceeding against them was dis
missed without prejudice to other &C.
tons by the government Attorney
General Wickersham was not prepared
ut this time to say whether he would
direct new proceedings against these
Alleged combinations or not.
Justice Lurton announced the uaa- /
lmous opinion of the court, which for
the purpose Of this case, consisted of
only six members. Justice Day took
10 part in the decision because of his
xbsence from the bench when the case
was argued in October. 1911. Justice
Hughes refrained from participating
ln the action of the court because he
was special assistant to the attorney
general when the coal business was
first investigated by the government.
Justice Pitney was not on the bench
when the case was presented to the
,ourt.
The suit was sent back to the
udges OF the court in which it origis
lated, the circuit court for eastern
for the enforcement of
he decision. The finding of the lower
'ourt was upheld, except as to the
'ontrarts with the Independents.
