Dressing of Wood Ashes Beneficial
to All Fruit Trees-Bones Pro-
mote Growth and visor.

A dressing of wood ashes around the
fruit trees and grape vines is bener
fit. 1t supplies the loss of the alkalis,
which ar largely consumed by fruit,
dertroys the acidity in the soil and
tends to swee.en all kinds Of fruit.
Bones. old leather, refuse plaster
and soap suds. all constitute good fer
tilizer for the fruit trees.
Bones appear to be the best Of all

In Spite of Its Quai=tness--coun-

London.-The traveller slipping up
the reaches of The Scheldt river to.
ward Antwerp in the misty small hours
Of the morning has ever been struck
with sense Of curious, of almost un-
canny, contrast. The city is heavily
fortified, grim and gray in spite of its
quaintness. The Scheldt flows through
gentle country of green meadow
lands and sleepy villages.
Antwerp is perhaps the most impor-
tant port on the continent of Europe
In point of commerce. place very
much alive and very real. The
Scheldt is a toy river meandering
through Noah's ark landscape.
The country is mostly Dutch-the

border the river, broken with cluster.
Ing villages, pert red-roofed farm
houses, tiny church spires, windmills
everywhere and rows and rows of reg.
ufar green trees made after the same
pattern and looking for all the world
like rows Of paper dolls, cut all Of a
piece, that have delighted children
for generations. Occasionally appears
q live thing-a COW, dog or horse
modelled from the beasts in a panto-
mime, and now and then little wood
en- man or the little wooden ladies OF
his family. But over all is the quiet
of child's toy village after the child
is tucked in bed, and the whole coun.
try looks as If it were stood on edge
with its feet in the water each morn
ing and scrubbed behind the ears.
And yet Belgium and Holland, for all
their quaint charm and picture book
quality, have been for centuries the
battle-ground of the nations. Time
after time the great countries of Eu-
rope have fought one another tooth
and nail, with these two little king
doms as pawns, their pleasant fields
the scene Of many bloody battle.
Even now, though Holland has so far
escaped, Belgium is blood drenched.
her men moved down, her towns laid
waste, her peace and prosperity de.
stroyed; and all because her powerful
neighbors have seen fit to go to war.
To take Antwerp would naturally be
feather in the cap of the invading
force. Occupying as it does position
so close to the English ports Of Dover
and Harwich, challenging the suprem-
acy of the North sea, its possession by
Germany at the end of the war would
doubtless prove Of immense value in
securing concessions from the allies.
No longer ago than the early part Of
the nineteenth century, Antwerp was
taken in an invading force, but it was
tremendously superior force, and 1t
was to the French and English as al.
lies that 1t fell captive.
The Dutch and the Belgians had for
some time been united under one
crown, with the Dutch well in the as

SICK DOCTOR
Proper Food Put Him Right.

The food experience of physician
In his own case when worn and weak
from sickness and when needing nour-
tshment the worst way, is valuable:
IAN attack of grip, so severe it came
near making an end of me, left my
stomach in such condition l could not
retain any ordinary food. l knew OF
course that | must have food nourish-
n1ent or could never recover.
II began to take four teaspoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts and cream three times
q day and for 2 weeks this was almost
my only food. II tasted so delicious
that / enjoyed 1t immensely and my
stomach handled it perfectly from the
first mouthful. 1t was so nourishing
was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
"Grape-Nuts is of great value as food
to sustain life during serious attacks
in which the stomach is so deranged
1t cannot digest and assimilate other
foods.
Il am convinced that we're Grape
Nuts more widely used by physicians,
it would save many lives that are 9TH
erwise lost from lack of nourishment."

This skim milk is also fine for pigs
and calves, and every near-the-city

pig fattening In a little pen with a
concrete bottom somewhere on his
premises. 1t ia easy to keep such a
pen clean and sanitary In city where
1t can be flushed with hose and

A pig will fatten on stuff which
otherwise is thrown away, just as 100

To Keep SlIaae.

A good way to make the ensilage
keep at the top of silo when it is
filled, is to put part of a load of straw
through the silo filler just before it is
through the job Then SOW pail or
two of oats on the straw covering and
dampen them. This covering does
away with about half of the spoiled
ensilage, to be thrown out after the
ensilage settles.

Her Memory All Riaht.

Mrs. Geddes had new maid, and
she found it necessary to repeat her
instructions several times before Nora
cbeyed them. The mistress had told
her repeatedly about the finger-bowls,
and one day, when there were guests
they were again forgotten.
Now, Nora" said Mrs. Geddes, ex.
tremely exercised over the omission,

you about the finger-bowls Didn't

Preferred Fertilizers,

Commercial fertilizers should always
be bought on guarantee of analysis,
so the percentages of the various ele-
ments may be known. and SO the grow
er may know what forms the plant
foods are in. Preference should be
given to fertilizers where the compo-
sition is definitely stated, because in
telligent plant feeding is not possible
without knowing the source of the Va
rious components of the fertilizer.

skim Milk for Plos on Alfalfa,

Experiments at the New Mexico sta
ton indicate that skim milk is valu.
able feed in connection with alfalfa
pastures, being worth IL cents per
hundred pounds when fed alone, and
when corn is worth Sc cents per BUSH
ell; and that it is worth rs cents per
hundred pounds when fed with corn
at the rate of two to three pounds of
skim milk to one pound of corn. Com
pared with wheat, when fed alone,
seven to eight pounds of skim mill
equaled one pound of wheat.

young trees SO as to ripen the fruit
early Is not approved by the most
skillful fruit growers and is only al.
lowable when the intention is to
throw the whole force of the sap into
those particular branches that it is
desired to train in some particular d.
rection.
No fruit ripens SO well nor has SO
fine flavor when the foliage is in
Jured by summer pruning. This fact
is observable In our apple, peach, and
pear orchards when the worms have
consumed the leaves on a limb You
will always find the fruit on such a
branch of poor quality and inferior
flavor.
The leaves are the lungs of plant
and are required to perform an impor
tant function in ripening the fruit

From underneath the war cloud lit
tie flashes of humor escape now and
again.
Two Irish sergeants, brought
wounded to Paris, are reported as say
ing that they did not know exactly
where the battle was, but they had
just been fighting at Copenhagen"
They probably meant Compeign, but
1t made no difference in their willing
ness to fight.

plooerv Sanitation

The sanitation of the piggery
should be guarded as carefully as the
sanitation of a hospital. Damp and
Ill ventilated sleeping quarters are
fatal to pigs and unless the owner
will see to it that hogs always have
a dry and well ventilated place to
sleep he had much better keep out of
the business.
