In deciding what trees to plant

call attention to two varieties. n Of

about ten or fifteen years ago and is

1t does not bear much resemblance

start many limbs and they are thick.

its appearance is not very progresses
ing or graceful, but when In leaf 1t
will compare In beauty with any Of
our shade trees, and Is sure to attract
the admiration Of every observer Of
tree life.
Its leaves are large and tropical In
outline and make a dense shade. To
all these qualities Of a fine shade tree
It adds the value Of a nut tree. 1t
bears a nut something like our native
butternut In shape, but not 80 large.
These nuts are borne In clusters and
IN great abundance and n Of the
best features Of this tree Is the very
early age 1t comes into bearing, begin
ming at three and four years. 1t is q
perfectly hardy and vigorous grower.
The second tree that I would rec

perhaps n of the several other 30
called everbearing varieties. for / be-
lieve there Is not a great deal Of diff
ference between them though the
Downing is said not to be entirely
hardy In the North.
It Is a very rapid growing tree
which in itself is a valuable quality
IN a shade tree. It's leaves are large
and make q fine shade and from every
point of view 1t Is a beautiful tree ex
cept, perhaps, that some might object
that 1t bears fruit in abundance.

Molasses az Feed.

Molasses has about two-thirds tho

although an accurate comparison can
not be drawn because the n nutr1-

palatability and that it makes other

whether one can afford to pay over 70

COLD FRAMES MORE POPULAR
Great Many Farmers and Gardeners
Realize What 1t Pays to Grow
Vegetables Under Sash.

Frames are used much more largely
in all parts of the country than few
years ago, Notwithstanding the fact
that greenhouse construction has been
more active. A great many gardeners
have realized that it pays to grow
some vegetables under 3x6 foot sash.
This makes it a good business propo-
sition and when frames are used on a
large scale too much care cannot be
exercised in the preparation of the
soil. 1t should be fine, fairly level and
contain liberal amounts of sand and
humus. If to be used in the summer
the cross-bars should be easily re-
moved SO that wheel hoes or horse
cultivators can be used without diff
Guilty, running from end to end of the
long frames. The sash should fit
snugly on the side. boards, so that as
little cold as possible will be admitted
under the sash. Lettuce and radish
are especially desirable for frame cul-
ture.

Don't get grouchy because your
neighbor has better house or a big
ger barn than you have. Maybe your
mortgage is not as big as his, and
that's heap of comfort.
The chronic borrower is a great
nuisance in the neighborhood. OF
course we are all glad to lend to a
man who is just getting start, but
the man who is able to buy everything
he needs, but continues to use his
'neighbors tools, ought to be ashamed
of himself.
Not going to send the boy to an ag-
ricultural college because you had no
such education yourself? That's a
mighty poor excuse. Now, right down
in the bottom of your heart, are you
not afraid that the boy will learn to
be better farmer than you, and you
are not manly enough to be proud of
him?
If the scale has made its appearance

sold a COW last fall that was giving

She was driven five miles and housed

gave just one quart, and only four
