widely scattered districts a fruit grower had crop of fruit the season his neigh hors had none, simply because he had kept the spring frosts at bay with enor- nous fires of cordwood or coal. |,
 The Fruit Growers association of Grand Junction and Canon City, Col, co-operat-i ed to apply the idea and to make it more effective for orchard warming. The smudge pots proved their worth.
 Frosts were frequent and severe during the spring of 1909 and three foreign gov ernments, having heard of the extensive plans of these two associations to fight frost. had representatives on hand to watch the demonstrations. The owner of a % acre orchard tract protected 10 acres of this. That autumn he netted s520 on each protected acre and lost money gath ering the few apples which grew upon the unprotected acres.
 Many orchardists want one pot for each tree. or roughly from 50 to 12o to the acre. The cost of equipping an acre with these little stoves or furnaces is from s39 to $so The annual cost of using these is from s5 to s2O an acre. The value of fruit per acre which they will often save is from $500 to s1200. It will thus be seen that they are an excellent investment Fruit growers are beginning to call this protection crop insurance.
 Orchard heating calls for the extensive use of thermometers. and of course it is of utmost importance that orchard ther- mometers be accurate and government tested If thermometer read 39 degrees and the actual temperature was 2s de- grees the orchardist would be deceived and fail to fire up when he should do so.
 Many fruit growers provided themselves with electric thermometers, which are adjusted or set with temperature lock and connected by wires with a gong. This makes an eternally vigilant and de- pendable watchman who will ring in an alarm the instant the temperature sinks to the danger point--the degree of tenn perature to which its owner has 1t set Many are set at s4 degrees. Some fruit growers have these alarm gongs scattered through the orchard. one on the outside of the house and one, of course, by the bedside of the grower.

Lizard Gown Latest

From the Boston. Post
 Just as savage woman seeks to decorate herself in semblance of the birds and the beasts in her use of feathers, skins and war paint, so the Parisian woman of fashion initiates the scales of the fish, the wings of the butterfly and the tails of the lizard in her ball room faneies. The lizard tail evening gown Is the newest fancy, and it bids fair to implant a graceful style in the American draw ing room.
 The first model to appear in Boston is vase colored messaline, with black satin "tall tunic, and waistband en- cfusted with black pearls. Black pearls clusters are worn on the circular black silk hair ornament that goes with it. The effect is one of sinuous grace and 1t will add height to the short and the overl plump.
 The style could be carried out even more siIggestively in two shades of green, or brown. or green and bronze ! Where the gowns cling. as in the ex- trcme of the seasons modes, the effect, the designers say. would be most undig- nifed were the scantiness about the ankles not counterbaanced by mass of trailing. drapery as there is a balance of both mass and color in the best gowns

 That these traits of the heir to the. throne are not pleasing to militans Germany is not surprising
 The German idea is pretty well ex pressed in a book on "Germany and the Next War" by General Bernhardi.
 General Bernhardi was a distin- suished cavalry general and is prob ably the most influential German writer on current strategical and tactical prob lens. His new book is the most can did expression that has been given in recent years to the doctrine that Ger many must, regardless of the rights and interests of other people, fight hes way to predominance.
 General Bernhardi combines pane gyric of war in general and the adVo- cacy of deliberate preparation not on1y for war but of war, with confident pre- dictions that France will have to be an- initiated and that England will have to he attacked and beaten in order that Germany may renl'" f and fulil

 It was hoped that the Danzig com

 for his profession. Up to the present. however, the hopes aroused by the

 Immediately after his appointment
 he went travelling for four weeks, principally to hunt. Soon after his re-
 turn we saw him in Berlin, sometimes
 in the reischtag, where he attended
 the Morocco debates, and some times at
 the flying grounds. At the beginning of December he spent week in Si-
 iesia hunting and at the end of De-

This Illness could not have been teo grave, otherwise the Berlin newspapers lwould not so soon have been able 60 report that he was dedicating himself to winter sports in the Tiergarten.

perature for the night. The orchard own CTS felt the air, looked at the sky and examined their thermometers. There was no hope from nature. the dlscourag- Ing and blasting prediction would be yer lihed. the temperature, already low, was steadily falling.
 The entire community determined to defy the frost with fire and to save the fruit crop by heating the orchards. On the night of April F, in the orchards around Grand Junction, there began the greatest battle that has ever been waged to keep Jack Frost from the fruit. For Six days and nights this battle went on with varying intensity and extended over a territory 3D miles long and from one to five miles wide
 At times 350,00o smudge pots were in action along the firing lines. These min
 .ature volcanoes-smal, simple stoves and furnaces-consumed D carloads of oil and 215 carloads of coal during this six day battle, but in most orchards they raised and sustained the temperature, sufficiently to save the promising buds.
 Severe as was the cold, slight damage was done to many orchards and few of tho warmed ones suffered severely but when the temperature at last permanently rose, an entire community went to bed exhausted, but with upward of s3000, 600 worth or pflze lfult SUI htHct upon the trees
 Through many years, both in Europe and America, repeated attempts were made to protect delicate fruit buds from spring cold. Isolated individuals attempt ed to protect their trees from frost with bonflres of brush and straw. The most
 popular remedy appears to have been smudging. enveloping the orchard in smoke. which was repeatedly tried both in this country and in Europe with va Irving degrees of success. Generally slow burning trash or manure piles were used in producing this smoke.
 A few years ago the people in southern California made a practical advance with this idea by confining their fuel in so- called smudge pots. These warmed the orchards a few degrees and al the same Etime produced q smoke cloud which Fhelped retain the warmth In many

NEXT KAISER WILL

By MALCOLM CLARKE

Berlin. April 0.-(SpecialO O-Ger- many without militant Kaiser seems almost unbelievable but should any thing happen to the present Kaiser that is what seems to be in the ca rds The fact that not only is the crown prince not an enthusiastic military man but that he has an absolute dis taste for the army is a matter of grave concern to the Kaiser and to official Germany generally
 For many years to come if Germany is to hold the place she has achieved in the consort of the powers and to fulfill what the Kaiser considers the destiny of the empire. she must be guided by strong hand; she must have at the head an enthusiastic war rior.

 General Bernhardi defies Great Brit ain as the enemy who will have to be beaten at sea. He states his position thus:
 The conception of our naval duty Tolnts directly to the fact that it is the English navy which must give the measure of the extent of our armd- ments for naval war. War with Eng land is probably the war which we shall first have to fight out. The pos sibility of victoriously repelling an English attack must therefore guide our war preparations and, If the Eng fish continue to increase their navy, we cannot avoid following thepl even beyond the limits of our existing navy law"

In the Springtime everybody talks about gardens, and flowers, and so they were indulging in that theme.
 Tt is. very seldom,' said The Man, ''that you find a woman who loves a gar den for itself alone. She likee it as sort of a background. I have not the slightest doubt but that Tennyson's Maud wouldn't have come into the Garden if she hadn't been precious sure that she fitted into the frame and made charming picture. You get What I mear?''
 She wasn't at all sure, that she did.
 She wasn't preparedAto give up the argu- ment, however. about woman's domes- ticity and general fondness for ''pittering about the place."
 1T will never deny you those qualities that woman, lovely woman, makes a spe- say is that the average woman makes a garden, not first fer the pure and sim ple love of flowers and green things grow ing, but because she wants flowers about her as a settingajust as she wears artificial ones on her hat. They are an effective adjunct to her. don't you see?''
