jefferson Cty.-one Of the most
important features OF a country home,
from a standpoint Of health, is a fruit
garden maintained for the purpose of
supplying the family With fruits. 1t
is amazing that ever those who have
suitable situations and facilities for
raising fruits, and who canno pur-
chase them because of remoteness
from markets. have not established
home fruit gardens.
The inhabitants of this country are
notably a fruit-loying and fruit-eating
people. Notwithstanding this, hoG-
ever, fruit culture has grown to be
classed among specialties, and few per-
sons who consume fruit are actual
growers. The possibilities in fruit
culture upon restricted areas have
been very generally overlooked with
tine result that many persons who own
a farm, now look upon fruit as a lux
ury. A great deal of land which is
now practically wasted and entirely
unremunerative can be made to pro-
duce fruits in sufficient quantity to
give them a regular place upon the
family bill of fare, and at the same
time, add generally to the attractive
ness of the table and he~althfulness
of the diet.
With the growth of commercial fruit
interests of the United States the
home fruit garden has been over-shad-
owed by t he orchard. While both
the home garden and the orchard are
essential to the good of the community,
they bear different relations to the
country as a whole.
The home production of fruit stimu-
lates an interest and love for natural
objects, which can only be acquired
by that familiarity with them which
comes through their culture. The cul-
tivation of fruits teaches discrimina-
ton. If every purchaser was a good
Judge of the different kinds of fruits,
the demand for fruits of high quality,
to produce which is the ambition Of
every amateur as we'll as every pro-
fessional fruit grower, would become
a reality. The encouragement of the
cultivation of fine fruits in the home
garden will do much toward teaching
buyers to discriminate between the
good and the inferior varieties OF
fruit.
The interest of a fruit garden may
be greatly enhanced by growing in
them plants not adapted naturally to
!. the climatic region in which the gar
den is located, as, for instance, the
growing Of figs as far north as the
latitude of Philadelphia. The sum
mers Of the region are sufficiently
, long and warm to induce a strong
growth in the fig, but as the fruits
normally require a long period II
b. which to mature, the plant becomes
useless as a fruit producer unless
sufficient protection is afforded tt
carry over winter the immature fruit
set the previous fall. This can b
/. successfully accomplished in severa
!. ways. The most hardy sort shout
be selected, in addition to which tn
+. fruiting shoots may be wrapped /
!, mating, covered with straw, and tn
j fruits thus successfully protected; o
a if it seems desirable, temporary shed
- may be built over the plants, and thes

When you are telling lie you

He prepared cards bearing letters.
figures and diagrams and distributed
these among his pupils. These were
required to describe the cards correct
ly, except in certain cases when the
cards were marked with Il red star
and the students receiving them were
required to describe them falsely. Each
student was watched carefully by his
fellows, who. ignorant of the nature

truth or not The watchers were un.
able to Judge with any certainty.
But before each man began his test
the time occupied in inspiration and
expiration was measured, and the
measurement was taken again lmme-
diately after he finished. 1t was found
that the utterance of n false statement
always increased and the utterance OF
