Of funny stories and anecdotes, and
no end Of Quips and epgrams, while
she can relate many incidents of the
early days of the county with his
torical accuracy, and knows the gen

generation
In the summer she earns money by
picking up and sorting and selling
apples, the average Aroostock farmer
being too busy with his vast potato
plantation to bother with them. In the
winter she gathers scraps Of silk and
slows them In a capacious bag and
makes them into quilts, which she
sells. She is skilled with the needle,
which she threads without glasses.
But It matters not how cordial her
welcome and how comfortable her
quarters. she remains in one place

Two WAYS of Raising Fruit.

The ways of the American apple
grower in past years have been in sin
gular contrast to the care used in
orange and lemon cultivation. The
orange grower has always understood
that he must cultivate and fertilze his
orchard, and to prevent bruising must
handle his fruit as if it were eggs.
The need for equally scientific methods
in the raising of apples was the domi-
nant theme at the 18th convention of
apple shippers, just held in Cleveland,
Ohio. Today you find an intelligent
minority of farmers who treat their
apple orchard as if it was a real crop.
They give the land its proper food.
They also handle their fruit on padded
bins and tables, and pack it in tissue.
Most of the older farmers would as
soon think of taking these precautions
with stove wood.
Science counts. Three times as many
oranges were raised in the United States
in 1909 as in 1899. During the same Pc
Rod the apple product fell off 16 per
cent.
The average farmer has regarded his
apple orchard as merely a wild crop,
something like buckle berries or tim
Der. A thick growth of grass and
weeds under the trees absorbed a big
share of the soils nutriment. Useless
suckers were parasites on the trees
growth. The soil underneath was never
stirred, and much of the rainfall ran off
the sunbaked earth.
Unsprayed fruit trees were Juicy
teasts for cohorts of worms. In pick
ing, the apples were tossed from basket
to barrel or pile to pile, as if they were
potatoes. Placed loosely in a barrel,
they shucked during transportation like
anthracite coal
Happily the methods of spraying,
cultivation, and packing which the apple
shippers urged throughout their Ceve-
land meeting are coming into more gen.
eral use. AS the apple is grown sue
cesstully in every state in the union, it
bids fair to become more of a national
asset than it has been in the past.
The wideawake Vermont farmers are
now fully alive to the great need of
new methods in apple handling.
The other kind will eventually wake
up to a realization of the fact. -Rut-
land News.

The Woman's club of Montpelier is
commended by the Journal of that city
for the many excellent things it has
accomplished. 1t seems that the Mont
pelier club has helped maintain a play
ground, supported a rest room, paid
the salary of district nurse and ''in
many other ways been a vital force in
improving conditions in the commu-
nity."
All this and more can be said of the
Bellows Falls Woman's club. One
great advantage of membership in
these clubs that is often overlooked is
the benefit coming to the women them
selves. They come in contact with
women of different social cliques.
They hear lectures and enjoy entertain
ments, and in many ways get away
from the monotony of housekeeping,
and have their horizon extended. The
Women's club has been a good thing
for the community and also for its mem
bers. Bellows Falls Times.

OBITUARY..
MRS. ETHEL RICKERD AINEs.

MRS. ETHEL RICKERD AINES.
Ethel Rickerd, daughter of John and
Mary Barker Rickerd was born in Sails
bury, VT. June 25th, 1882. From about
the seventeenth yea of her age to the
time of her marriage, she made her
home in the family of Mr.. and Mrs. 7.
E. Aines. May 18th, 1902, she was
married to Bert A. Aines, son of Mr..
and Mrs. T. E. Aines, by the Rev. Mr..
White of the Congregational church in
Orwell IN which town she and her hus-
band lived until three years ago, when
they took up their residence in the town
of Mendon.
Early last spring Mrs. Aines' health
began to fail, and notwithstanding the
care of the best medical skill available
and faithful nursing continued to grow
worse. About three weeks ago she was
taken to the Sparhawk sanitarium in
the city of Burlington with the hope
that change of surroundings and the
better facilities of treatment would re-
suit in improvement, but in vain. Her
affliction proved to be beyond human
skill to cure. She died August %. Her
remains were brought to the home of
her husbands parents on South street
in Middlebury, from which her funeral
was held Sunday afternoon at one
O'Clock. The service, which was large
ly attended By relatives and friends, was
conducted by Rev. D. H. Corkran, pas
tor of the local Methodist church. A
quartette composed of Mrs. J. E.
Weeks, Judge and Mrs. F. C. Dyer, and
w. f. Clement sang very beautifully two
of the favorite hymns of the deceased.
The floral tributes were numerous and
beautiful; especially noticeable was the
cluster of fourteen roses placed in her
right hand by Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Aines
in memory of the number of years of
her life spent in connection with their
family.
In her girlhood Mrs. Aines was a beau
tiful and lovable child, and in her ma
ture years, a noble and charming
woman and a devoted wife and compan-
ion. Her married life was very happy
The devotion Of husband and wife was
marked by mutual understanding, inter-
est, sympathy, and deep affection
Her early departure from this life
leaves a large and painful vacancy in
the lives and homes of those to whom
she was especially devoted 1t may
truly be said of her, Her sun is gone
down while it is yet day"
Lifel we've been long together
Through pleasant and through cloudy
weather,
IT'S hard to part when friends are dear.
Perhaps twill cost a sigh, ear.
Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time.
Say not Good Night-but in some brigh-
ter cline
Bid me good morning.

potatoes, Is acres; wheat, 5 acres;
truck, 8 acres. A market has been
found for all the produce thus far ex-
cept a few beets and the students have
prepared to sell these later by the in
stallation of small canning industry,
which will provide them with extra
remuneration.
A part of this years innovations was
the allotment of a half acre to each
man which he cultivated personally in
leisure moments and from which he
will receive all the proceeds. These
lots show the work of a trained gar
dener, though most of the Princeton
boys have gained all of their expert
ence in this line since entering college.
There is at present no agricultural
course in the university. A typical day
on the farm is nine hours and the stu
dents are paid 20 cents an hour exclu-
sive of their proceeds from their private
half acres.

Another death is reported in the
state from walking the railroad tracks.
This time, as in several previous cases,
the victim, woman, was very deaf
and therefore should never have chosen
the railroad as place to walk, even if
the distance were shorter. Some laws
should be enforced regarding trespass-
ing on railroad tracks for it seems
people will persist in raising the death
rate by this foolhardy means. Hard

BOYS FARM 200 ACRES

Princeton, N. j., Aug Is. Within
100 yards of the Princeton university
campus farm of 200 acres is being
cultivated by six undergraduates of
that institution. Within a few weeks
the crops from this acreage will be dis
pensed to the students of Princeton and
the summer work of the six college
farmers will close. In connection with
the Princeton university farm, as this
land is now called, many interesting
features have been introduced. Chief
among these is the fact that the work
of the college men is done strictly on
the honor system, each man acting as
his own timekeeper.
Last year a squad of Is was used to
till but sc acres, but this year the
capacity of the men was increased by
the introduction of modern appliances
for the cultivation of the ground. This
season the farm is being cultivated in
the following apportionments: hay,
100 acres; corn, 80 acres; rye, rs acres
