Early Dams on the Nile.

What the British are undertaking in
the Nile country, in the introduction OF
irrigation plans, was carried out to an
interesting extent about $500 years
ago by King Menes. He is credited
with the earliest irrigation works,
when dykes were made on the west
bank of the Nile to retain the food wa
tiers on the land for a longer period,
the east bank being left open for the
inundation to spend itself freely. Two
thousand years later Amenemhat III
extended the same system of basin ir-
rigation" to the east bank. and in order
to ward off the danger Of high flood
he made Lake Moeris where is now the
Fayum. Into this great artificial lake,
one OF the wonders of the world at that
period. the high waters were allowed
to escape, and from it. when the crest
of the flood had passed, the basins OF
lower Egypt were kept supplied, with
out danger of overlooking.

FALL SPRAYING is FAVORED
When Possible Select Warm Day for
Operation, as Insects Then Crawl
Out for Sunlight.

After all rotten apples, pruned
limbs and other refuse have been
cleared up about the orchard the trees
should be given a thorough spraying.
II possible, one should choose a
warm day for the operation, so most
Of the insect pests crawling out to life
in tie sunlight will be exposed to the
action of the spraying solution.
Special attention should be given old
knots and rough and rotten spots
about the trees, as in these places the
fruit pests deposit their eggs for next
seasons crop and at the same time
many Of these pests themselves are
harboring in safe retreat till winter Is
over.
There are several reasons for this
fall spraying. 1t not only destroys
the insect pests, but their eggs, also,
which have been laid.
After the spraying, the trees will be
left healthy and clean and free from
the pests while they are developing
their next seasons fruit crop. Another
light spraying next spring will not
come amiss, but this fall spraying will
insure the work being done-not neg
lected next spring, when the rush sea-
son is on and the field turns the farm
er's attention from the orchard.

is MATTER OF COMPARISON
True Significance of Worlds Styling a
Man Wise and Virtuous Beyond
His Fellows.

1t is usual to compare one man with
another; and finding very few whom
We can call wise or virtuous. We are
apt to entertain a contemplate notion
of our species in general. That We
may be sensible of the fallacy of this
way of reasoning. We may observe
that the honorable appellations Of
wise and virtuous are not annexed 10
any particular degree of those quail
ties Of wisdom and virtue, but arise
altogether from the comparison we
make between one man and another.
When we find a man who arrives at
such a pitch of wisdom as Is very I'M
common, we pronounce him a wise
man; so that to say there are few
wise men in the world is really to say
nothing; since it is only by their scar
city that they merit that appellation.
Were the lowest of our species as wise
as Lord Bacon, we should still have
reason to say that there are few wise
men. For in that case We should ex-
alt our notions Of wisdom. and should
not pay a singular homage to anyone
who was not singularly distinguished
by his talents.-David Hume.

LADDERS FOR THE ORCHARDS
Work in Tall Trees-tight and
Easy to Manipulate.

The wise orchardist has learned
something about the use and abuse of
ladders. The first essential in the
raising of fruit trees is to prune the
heads of the trees and keep them low.
This will make picking the fruit easy
and safe without the use of anything
but the stepladder.
For work in tall trees, the japanese
ladder is very useful. This is lighter
than the trestle ladder, as well as
easier to manipulate among the
branches because of its pointed shape.
Lightest of all the tall ladders is the
single rail ladder, but as it is also least
safe and comfortable for the user, it
Is not likely to become widely popular.
Any ladder which must be set against
the tree is a menace to it. OF all the
numerous styles of ladders, some form
of stepladder Is best adapted to the
orchard, whether the welfare of the
tree Is considered or the comfort Of
the picker. Perhaps the best type Of
ladder is the one substantially built,
yet light enough to be handled easily
by one man. The wide spread Of the
legs at the bottom of the steps makes
the ladder especially stable.

COVER CROPS FOR MULCHING
One OF the Best Means Of Protecting
Roots Of Apple and Cherry Trees
Keeps the Soil Moist.

The relation of soil moisture and
soil cover to root killing of apples and
cherry stocks has been studied at the
experiment stations. The results
showed that a straw mulch, or a cover
crop that mats down like a straw
mulch, tends TO prevent freezing and
alternate freezing and thawing. and
thus reduces injuries to the roots.
Any method Of culture that leaves
the ground perfectly bare in the fall,
thus favoring deep freezing and al.
ternate freezing and thawing, is not
TO be recommended where root killing
Is at all common. A cover crop is one
or the best means for protecting the
roots OF trees. Likewise, any means
OF culture that leaves the ground moist
in fall has an advantage over methods
that leave the ground very dry.
In this regard, clean cultivation
might be expected to be ahead of cover
crops. The best all-around method Of
culture for young orchards is thor
ough cultivation in early summer, fol-
lowed by cover crop in the fall. so
far as tests covering only a few years
can prove any method best A mulch
or straw Is known to keep the soil
moist during the summer, and it also
protects tender roots in winter, but its
use will surely increase winter injury
to tender tops Of trees by prolonging
fall growth. Besides a mulch induces
a shallow root development, which
may result disastrously in later years,
and its use is out of the question in
large orchards.
Thorough cultivation protects trees
against drought as we'll as mulching,
and keeps the roots from forming near
the surface of the ground. When cul-
tivation is given in early summer, all
that is necessary TO furnish winter pro-
lection is to stop cultivating in mid
summer, grow a cover crop weeds be-
ing better than nothing, which will
dry the ground in fall, causing the new
wood growth to ripen early in prep
aration for winter, and which will, by
holding the snow out by mating down
to form a mulch, protect tender roots
during winter. Good cultivation in
early summer can often be given
young trees by growing some cult
waited crop in the orchard.
