MERELY A POPULAR BELIEF
Scholars Question Whether the Apple
Was the "Forbldden Fruit' In the
Garden Of Eden.

Why and how 1t has happened that
the apple has been spoken Of as the
fruit that was forbidden in the Gar
den of Eden is one of the great puz-
zles of Biblical scholars. The fact is
that in Genesis 3, where the incident
of the eating Of this fruit of the Tree
of knowledge of Good and Evil" Is
mentioned, no name whatever Is given
to the fruit. All that is said is: And
when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, and that 1t was
pleasant to the eyes, and tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took of
the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her; and
he did eat" (verse g..
In fact, scholars doubt very serious.
ly whether it was the apple at all.
They suggest that all evidence points
to it having been the ounce, fragrance
of which was held in the highest es-
TEEN by the Orientals. Another point
in favor of the ounce is that it is the
fruit which was sacred to Venus, the
goddess of live, and in a great many
Of the ancient writings the ounce Is
very frequently mentioned in this man
ner. In Babylonia Ishtar took the
place of Venus in the Roman mythol.
ogy, and it should be remembered
that the story Of the creation origina-
ted with the Babylonians. All evil
dence seems to point away from tbs
apple having been the Forbidden
Fruit" and towards the ounce as hav-
Ing been that fruit Of the Tree ID

Deep Water Products.

Arkansas Is the greatest pearl pro

dreds Of men engage In the pearl
hunt. 1t Is said that the fresh water
pearl Of Arkansas Of the highest class
cannot be distinguished from the fin
est deep sea jewel. Throughout the
south generally thousands of people
follow the pearl fishing industry and
make a comfortable living at it. Up
to q few years ago the jewel wealth
contained In the river beds of the
Mississippi valley was completely hid

fresh water mussel was a pearl bear
er, or that It had any value except for
fish bait.
The fresh water mussel Ia sought
may have hidden in its shell, but for
the shell itself, which Is manufac-
tured into stick pins, cuff links, and
buttons Of every description. The
shell fisheries have for years extend
ed far up the Mississippi river. A re-
cent writer on the subject puts fresh
water pearls into four classiflcations
true pearls, baroques, slugs, and
chicken feed.
The first, or true, pearls are of a
definite shape, and regular form,
round, oval, or pear shaped. These
command the highest prices. Baroques
are pearls of irregular form. Slugs
are low grade baroques. The smaller
size, the kind used in inexpensive
though genuine and neat jewelry, go
by the professional name of chicken
feed.

1t requires intelligent management
to keep all hands busy during the hay
harvest without allowing them to be
idle at any time and without sub.
jecting any of the hay to unnecessary
exposure.
Unlike other farm operations, hay
making cannot be followed along def
initely laid-out plans.
Weather is the great controlling
factor In hay-making. Hay will not
dry in a specified time even without
rain. A cool day will not allow hay
to dry half as fast as the next day
with a warm wind blowing.
Dry ground is a great aid in drying
moisture from green hay above it,
but II we wait for the dry ground
we are apt to be caught by the next
storm.
Ordinarily we must begin cutting
as soon as n storm has cleared I'D
and we see indications of fair wealth
er.
Every precaution should be used
to prevent undue exposure of the hay
to dry weather.
The hay tedder hastens the drying
to a marvellous degree, especially If
the hay has already been caught by
the rain In the swath and hay that
is heavy and green. A hay tedder
will soon pay for itself If rightly used.
The side delivery rake is another
valuable implement for stirring the
hay as well as gathering 1t In open
windows in which the drying may
go on without causing the leaves to
become brittle and fall on. Unless
allowed to become too dry, they draw
large quantities Of moisture from the
stems, beside they r the most val

FOR BEAUHFYlN6

Some Bonemeal.
(By I. u. -BENNINaToN.l

(by L. NJ.
II you want your bed Of cannas or
border Of caladiums to make q grand
tropical showing from now to frost,
give them a frost-like covering Of
bonemeal; then stir the soil, water
thoroughly, and mulch with lawn clip
pings. Do this towards the end Of
this month and be sure to remove the
fading flowers.
Copy nature by sowing seeds OF
perennials as they rpen. Provide
some sort of shade for the seed bed.
A reel made of lath or one of un-
bieached muslin will answer.
The robust-growing plants will need
some sort OF support. Let the sup
ports be painted green or oiled to
bring out the grain OF the wood, and
you will find them more pleasing than
rough sticks and far more .satisfac-
tory. Drive the stakes fast into the
earth a little lower than the plants,
so that they n inconspicuous.
The plants needing supports are
such hardy perennials rs Delphiniums,
giant foxglove and snapdragons. Do
not overlook giving stakes to the
dahhas, cosmos, hydranges and
glodioli.
To maintain continuous blooming
from now until frost, a few perennials
must be observed. Make q habit Of
cutting flowers freely. and remove all
the fading blossoms, and nature will
reward you with a lavish hand.
After this month, allow the chrysan-
themums to grow according to their
own will-that Is stop p~inching them
