Modern Moses Apples Trees

FARM and ORCHARD

For twelve years Moses rented an
office i'm prosperous city and made a
living by the commissions shaved
from real estate deals. large or small.
as the case might be.
During all this time there was a
sort OF suh-consciousness that rebelIed
against that kind of life, and whether
from accident or real purpose, he
fell into the possession of forty acres
OF light, sandy soil, occupied by an old
shack of house, 30x40 foot barn
and an old rundown apple orchard
of about fifty trees.
While Moses had not lived on a
farm for nearly fifty years, he had
been thinking of the possibilities of an
apple tree, as the years had sped by.
Moses studied on the possibilities.
He knew that tree well cared for at
the age OF fifteen OF twenty years
should bear ten bushels of apples.
He contracted for 1850 apple, 400
peach, 200 cherry and 100 plum trees
and started for the aforesaid sandy
forty acres.
When the natives, who had always
lived in that vicinity, saw the load of
trees landed on the place. they looked
at each other and smiled. Eye can't
raise apples on this burned, sandy
land" they croaked.
Moses took a chance and put the
apple trees 80 feet apart each way
and placed the other trees between
Four years rolled by. Moses con-
tinued in the parasite business and
depended upon others to work the
land and look after the trees. That
plan did not work for the good Of
either Moses or the trees Finally
Moses said to his wife, (this may be
the first time you have heard that he
had wife, THE place for us is on
that land where we can care for those
trees" She said, "Moses. l am with
you" They loaded their belongings
and started for different life.
The old house was hardly fit for
occupancy. However they tore the
remaining plaster from the laths and
covered it with blue building paper
which made it habitable for nearly
two years, while new house was be-
ing built.
ON a knoll back in the field was
found gravel and sand of the best
quality for cement work. Moses be-

Build for Permanently

Land and property, said speaker
at "a good roads convention, were
valuable In proportion TO their ac-
feasibility to market or pleasure. and
whatever adds to the accessibility, en-
hances values. The history of the
country, he stated, bore witness to the
most useless and watefui extrava-
gance in the use Of money and labor
on it's highways, and the lesson to be
learned was 10 build, as did the an
clients, for permanency and with the
utmost care and thought for the
future.

made the old cement block machine
ready and with the help of a hired
man soon made fifteen hundred hol-
low blocks, necessary for the building
of house 24X3S feet.
This house contained six rooms, a
bath and two clothes closets on the
first floor and a space in the upper
part, 12x46, extending over the front
porch, suitable for three large rooms.
This house has been plastered, both
outside and inside, a furnace placed in
an ample cellar, large fireplace,
where Moses (and his wife) read the
stories of the struggling world, fight
ing for supremacy in the race OF life.
When the neighbors said that apples
could not be raised on this poor land,
Moses took another look at the old
apple orchard, strong. healthy apple
trees, full of life and growth, but un-
trimmed, uncultivated. full of worms
and insects; and the thought came TO
him. if the old trees have grown here
uncared for, young ones, well looked
after. must certainly prosper. He took
heart and waded into the old trees
with saw and shears plowed the
ground, sprayed the trees five times
each season and has been rewarded
by several hundred bushels Of as fine
fruit as ever grew from trees that
had not revealed their varieties of
fruit at any previous season.
The 1850 young trees have been
cultivated, trimmed and sprayed and
this year, despite the heavy frost OF
Nav 10th have responded nobly.
Moses has learned that the trees are
not all true to the kind set out but
is pleased to learn that he has a thou
sand trees of the Wealthy Apple,
which is certainly the most beautiful
apple grown. 1t is large, good shaped
and handsome red, mingled with
yellow, of fine flavor, and poiishes as
if il were vanished.
The peach, cherry and plum trees
are side issue but will pay for put
ting out and caring for the entire
orchard.
Think of the peach trees five years
old, bearing an average of one and
half bushels of fine peaches, many of
them measuring eleven inches in cir
conference This orchard i'm it's ninth
year of growth, shooting out its
branches farther and farther, promis-
ing greater returns, year by year.
The fertilization OF this light soil
has been a matter that has puzzled
Moses during all these years. Glover
cannot be had with any certainty UNI
til the land is enriched. Alfalfa is
too expensive to produce. Rye is in
adequate. The problem has finally
been solved in a crop Of COW peas,
which will grow on land where other
things will not The crop will fertiize
the land if plowed under and the
cattle and horses fatten ON the hay
and grain. While other crops fail
during dry seasons in many years, the
cow peas have grown green and rank
independent of drouth.
What is the result of this resolution
To turn back once more to the soil?
Moses says that he and his wife
agree that the decision to move to the
farm was the wisest move they ever
made and the city life has faded like
the snow of an April noon.

The Bad Roads Tax

If those who complain at voting
bonds to build good roads would think
they would find that the tax on poor
roads that they have been paying is
sufficient to build considerable high
ways. Poor roads mean poor farm
ing and poor farmers, and unfortunate
are those who live near such high
ways-Farm and Ranch.

At twelve o'clock everyone was ready
for bed, but in leaving an allowance
for giggling and gossip the girls
never entered dreamland until the
roosters began to crow. The alarm
at four awakened them from their
"honey-heavy-dew" of slumber but
some commotion was caused before
everyone arose. After hurly and
burly they managed somehow to be at
the breakfast table at six o'clock.
There was only short time left to
report their jolly time to Mrs. Christ
man, then all started on their journey
for school again.

PASSING OF OLD SYNAGOGUE
Ancient Jewish House OF Worshlp In
West End Of London is to Be
Demolished.

The forthcoming demolition of Lon
don's oldest West End synagogue, sit
uated behind His Majesty's theater in
st. Alban's place, Haymarket, marks
an interesting stage in London Jewry.
There are today In round figures a
quarter of a million Jews irtFHreat
Britain, and of these 10000 are resi-
dent in London. The metropolitan
synagogues included in the United
Synagogue number sixteen, but of
these few have more curious record
than that of the Western Synagogue.
The synagogue owed its origin to
Wolf Liepman of st. Petersburg and
Baron de Symons, who lived in Bed
ford row, and co-operated about the
year 1853 in the establishment of a
minyan, which met in the private
house Of MT. Liepman for nearly thirty
years.
In 1893 regular congregation was
-established-the first synagogue in the
West End of London-and a house
was hired for the purpose in Den
marks court. 1t was known as the
Denmark Court of Westminster Syna-
gogue, and stood on the site Of the old
Exeter hall, now covered by the
Strand Palace hotel.
1t was in 1926 that the congregation
acquired the premises in st. Alban's
place, and the present synagogue was
built. The western synagogue was the
only congregation under the jurisdic-
ton of the ecclesiastical authorities
which in the year 1S41 refused to read
the chief rabbits proclamation against
the then newly-founded Burton street
synagogue.

In History recently at the University
college by Prof. Hans Delbrueck, pro-
fessor of history at the University of
Berlin. Professor Delbrueck said the
first point to which in any history of
war they had to direct attention was
the number of the warriors. 1t was a
recognized fact that Moltke displayed
great genius in 1870 when he directed
ia monstrous mass Of his troops from

THE TRUTH FOR ONCE.

Once in while prominent man
talks sense and the following is a
sample:
George Bernard Shaw, playwright,
author and cynic, says the peace cen
tenary celebration between the United
States and England is all "bosb. 7"
After stating that the people of the
two countries individually aud collec.
lively loathe and hate one another, he
continued: Suddenly they realize
they haven't fought each other for a
hundred years.
"Immediately they wish to raise a
big sum of money in order to celebrate
the event by slobbering over one an
other. Now, if they had been fight
ing one another for a hundred years
and suddenly stopped, I would be
able to understand such movement.
But for two unfriendly nations sud
denly to conjure up feelings of thanks
giving because they happen to have
behaved like decent citizens, although
all the time ready to fl y at each Others
throat, is beyond my power of com
prehension."
In answer to the question as to
what he thought the proper method
OF celebrating the 100 years peace,
he suggested that monuments would
be fitting tribute, as then no lies
would be told, except in speeches
made at the unveiling of the memo
rials and in the actual Inscriptions
thereon.

THE SkIM-MILK AGE.

The cattle scarcity affects some
thing else besides the price and con-
sumption of beef. 1t threatens the
supply and use Of milk. In Boston,
where there was an appreciable milk
scarcity during the year 1913, the
question has been raised by the state
milk inspector whether it will not be-
come necessary to sell skim-milk in
the market, as an ordinary source of
supply, as we'll as milk containing the
cream. AS matters are now, the skim
med milk, which is the bulk of the
product, and the most Valuable part
of 1t as the food content is concerned,
is fed mostly to calves and hogs, or
even thrown away. 1t Is not regard
ed as possessing much value after
the cream has been separated from
it. Such an organization Of the mar
keting and use of milk as would per-
NIT of the furnishing Of skinned
milk to consumers, by the daily
means through which they receive
their full milk, would add great
deal to the food supply Of the cities.
Little by little we are reaching the
conditions Of Europe SO far as the
utilization of food products is con-
cerned. Europe throws nothing away.
We have been in the habit of throw
ing about half of everything away.
Europe burns its sawdust and its coal
dust in briquettes; we burn ours in
waste heaps. Europe uses the last
ounce of it's skim-milk; we may have
to. Here in America we seem to have
skinned off the cream Of things. We
have arrived at the skim-milk epoch.
