For in Calistas loyal little heart
burned a steady flame Of liking FOR
the man who could treat little girls
with the consideration he had be-

This was dilemma. And for the mo-

rious green tie. Jim, just two years
older, was a pig" to her sometimes.
But then she remembered that Jasper
never wore any but black ones on &C.
count of his red hair, as he had ex-
planned to her at one time.
1t was indeed a perplexing problem
to say the least For had it been any
one but Jasper she might contide IN

Calista was nothing if not master

about that picture.

Young Fruit Trees
Should Be Protected
Painting With Lime Sulphur 10 Ef.
tective Against Mice and Rabbits.
E. N. CORY,
Il. IN. OON 7,
Maryland Agricultural College.


Maryland Agricultural College.
This is the time OF the year when
every fruit grower or farmer who has
young orchard should take steps TO
prevent rabbits and mice from injur-
Ing his trees.
The rabbit is especially fond of the
succulent bark of young apple trees.
frequently feeding upon it when other
food is plentiful. They gnaw away
the bark, often girdling the trees or
injuring them to such an extent that
1t becomes necessary to replace the
trees
When weeds or grass are allowed to
lie close to the base of apple trees,
field mice frequently make their nests
there and when food becomes scarce
feed upon the bark.
The best method of preventing the
Injury from these two animals is to
paint the trunks of the trees with lime
sulphur wash. Use at the same strength
as for scale control, that is: one part
Of concentrated lime sulphur to nine
parts of water, adding enough lime
to make thick paint. To make one
barrel of paint, place five gallons OF
concentrated lime sulphur (Cbtainable
In most any farmers supply honse) in
barrel; add 30 pounds of stone lime
and allow to Stake vigorously. DO not
allow the lime to burn, but have water
at hand to add gradually. Finally, af.
ter the shaking has ended, add suff
cient water to fill the barrel and stir
vigorously.
Paint this material on the trunks
Of the trees from the round line up
two feet, and you will not be both
cred by rabbits or mice.
Wire or wood protectors are not so
good. One is expensive and the other
holds the snow and water so that the
weather, when there is alternate freez-
Ing and thawing. the trees are liable
to injury from frost.

Many writers have contended that
laying stock should be replaced each
season or at the most, every two years,
but the results of some experiments
conducted with White Leghorns at the
Utah Experiment Station seem to show
that laying fowls may be protitably
kept over a period of at least three
years providing they continue healthy
and vigorous.
II this is true and there is good rea-
son to believe ii Is, it makes poultry
keeping for egg production consider
ably simpler. One will have only to
replace one-third Of the flock each sea-
son instead of the whole or half the

A New Years Wish.

To become an expert at forgetting,
just, to forget all the unkind acts, the
deep wrongs, the mean words, the
bitter disappointments-ju let them

given to beautiful things, worthwhile
things, and to remember always that

"CALlSTA."
up. S. A merry Christmas. If you
want to send me a present send it to
Margaret instead Without being I'M
faithful to her. | will close by just
saying her ache grows worser with
the days"
The gift and the letter were done up
and duly delivered the next morning.
Amid the stress of holding prepare
lions Calista did not experience the
necessity of being secretive. She
walked up to the Hemingway's door,
little girl bursting with the seasons
Joy, and said to Jaspers mother;
"It's-t's my Christmas present to
Jasper! No reasons there?-why |
shouldn't give my dear Jasper one?'
And with shy little laugh she scam
pered off.
And then the wheels of Fate spun
round and round. having been given
very vigorous start by Calista.
Christmas morning dawned clear
and white.bound. The drifting cloud
banks had left the heavens during the
night and settled with feathery light
ness on the earth, had made Calistas
world beautiful amphitheater, snow
muffled to an echo, wherein sleigh
bells tinkled merrily and joyous voices
rang gladsomely. 1t was an ideal
Christmas Day. And perfect it proved
to Callsta.
Calista was stepped in bliss. But
not any more so than if she had re-
ceived but two or three of the many,
many gifts heaped upon her by ador-
ing relatives. And it was not until
afternoon that her maze of JOY began
to take on coherency, and she began
to link in her mind the gifts to their
donors. Then it was that she remem-
bered her sisters former betrothed.
Did you receive anything from Jas
per, Margaret" she blurted out. For
tunately they were alone, the rest of
the family having gone to Aunt
Madge's house for little visit. But
since Calista had cold, Margaret
stayed at home with her.
Margaret, who had been staring
with dream-haunted eyes into vacancy,
started as if some white hot brand
had touched her. But the next mo-
ment, as If remembering that this
soaring must be endured, she an
swered sweetly:
mo, dear"
That's funny" Calista had noted
the start and now was taking shy
stock of her Il didn't either. And l
thought he'd give one of us Christ
mas present"
Margaret added nothing to prolong

FHAS lSAC cDOSH ISN'
taking place The glowing descrip.
tons of the life and activities of the
city, and our elementary readers are
full of these descriptions, have served
to give the country boys and girls
false comparison, they have overesti-
mated the opportunities of the one and
deprecated the other. That there is
a tendency for rural people to permit
the city people to set for them their
ideals, | need to remind you only OF
the tendencies of the times In the mat
ter Of styles and the use of food stuffs.
The garment designers Of the city
as country people accept their crea'
lions as though ii were a necessity
The city man buys practically all OF his
food stuffs in package form because IL
is about the only form in which 1t is
available. but when the country home
uses these food stuffs 1t is matter Of
choice, and the housewife pays for the
false economy. Again why should the
rural child study in detail the COM
merce. the mountains, the rivers. the
cities, the plant life, the history and
literature of foreign or that Of coun
tries that have ceased to exist, and
completely ignore those things about
them. believe in studying the things
that are foreign, but | believe in study
ing them in their relation to our own
country and our own locality. The
boy or girl who becomes thoroughly
familiar with his own community, its
opportunities, its history, its organiza.
lions will in due time reach out and
learn something about the outside
world. Through comparisons he will
be able to fully appreciate his own
comforts and well being.
