FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.

Certain PENNSYLVANIA fanciers have
become so excited because some editors
judge poultry at the shows and at the
same time solicit advertisements that
| they have jumped to the conclusion
| that under such circumstances these
editors can't give exhibitors a square
deal and SO they want the A. p. A. to
pass law that no editor may judge.

There were twelve girls in a neigh
borhood who had grown up together,
and the first one to become engaged
made the announcement in this way
Her elder sister wrote a brief history
of her life on cards, one for each
guest, which made eleven, placed each
card In an envelope decorated with
cupids and hearts and the name of the
guest. so they served as place cards
But they were asked not to open the
envelopes until after the dessert had
been served. OF course this piqued the
curiosity Of all present and kept up q
lively fire Of converse ton. Then the
girl at the right of the hostess was
asked to open and read her card,
which told Of little girl and her first
arrival in the village and her first day
at school. The next gave another in
ckdent, and so on until the maiden was
brought to her debut and her meeting
with a certain man The last card
left of just right for the hostess to
slip on her engagement sparkler, and
so the dcnouement was made. Center
piece was a loving cup filled with pink
roses and forgetmenots, which were
divided among the guests, and the
cup filled with claret cup or grape
juice, and all drank a standing toast

OF INTEREST TO
WAYNE COUNTY FARMERS

Especial to The Citizen.)
Washington, Nov. 7.-One of the
useful scientists of the Department
of Agriculture, MIR. A. d. Shamel,
who has been making a study for
the past three years in California of
the individual characteristics of or
ange trees, believes that he has es-
tablished a fact which will prove of
the greatest Importance to the grow
ers of all plants and trees which
are propagated by other means than
seeds. Mr. Shamel by careful study
and tabulation of the performance of
individual trees has demonstrated
to his own satisfaction that bud
variation is much more important in
the development of an orchard than
has ever been supposed. 1t has been
taken for granted by most fruit
growers that a tree would produce
fruit true to the characteristics of
the tree from which it was budded.
Mr.. Shamel has found that one tree,
from a single bud, will sometimes
produce eight or ten distinct varie-
ties of fruit. Perhaps ten per cent.
of the trees examined throw off no
sports and therefore are considered
of especial value as sources of buds
says, in an interview with the cor
respondent of this paper, that in
propagating from record trees of
high production and the best quality
of standard types we may be able to
propagate and maintain uniform
standard type of each variety, best
| adapted to the conditions of soil and
! climate in which they are grown"
The Importance of this investiga-
tion may be estimated from the fact
that it was found in some orchards
that fifty per cent of the trees were
not producing fruit true to type, or
in satisfactory quantity.
Mr.. Shamel has made tentative in
vestigations during the past summer
in New York of peach and apple
trees which tend to confirm the de-
ductions he has drawn from his Cali
fornia work.
Apple Storage.
Mr.. A. V. Steubenrauch, who is in
charge of Pathological Field Investi-
cations. is doing valuable work, on
lines similar to those inaugurated by
Mr.. G. Harold Powell when the lat
ter was in the Department Of Agri-
culture, to determine the best meth
ods for apple storage, and when cer-
tain varieties of apples should be
| picked. He is centralizing his work
at Portland, Ore, and has already
| secured data which will be of much
value to apple growers and shippers
Apple Propaganda.
The apple growers are pushing
with vigor the propaganda of the
! fruit which started Eve on her dis
covery of our great national institu-
| ton, moving day" and which led
to unpleasantness on Olympus when
Venus was awarded an apple in a
beauty contest. Eat an apple a day
and you'll keep the doctor away" is
a slogan many of the apple men are
| shouting. 1t sounds all right, but a
wag replied: Yes, and if you eat an
onion a day, you'll keep everyone
| away"
However, the apple is fine fruit
and if more people ate it there would
| doubtless be fewer doctors bills. In
| cidentally, the growers would find
! the market for their fruit improving
very rapidly.

practicable the earth sHbgrade should
be thoroughly rolled. preferably withia

There are two forms Of drainage es-
sential in road building. O surface
drainage and 20 subdrainage. There
are three essential points to be con-
sidered in connection with surface
drainage. ~ The surface OF the road
should be of such "A shape that water

freezing it expands and dislodges the

Another type Of subdrain that is

located on the upper side Of the road
to intercept and provide an outlet for
surface and ground water before 1t
reaches the road proper.
Great care should be used in properly
grading a road.
The practice in America is generally
TO place the maximum grade at ) per
cent for important roads. as a horse
can trot without difficulty up such a
grade. and another important consider
alton in connection with grades is that
q macadan surface can only be main
tanned at great cost on steep grades.
In fixing the grades the engineer
should so adjust the cuts and fills as to
make the least possible waste Of mate

the fact that some materials shrink to
a great extent when taken from the
cnts and placed in the fills. This va
