FALL PLANTING OF ORCHARDS
Experience Shows Many Advantages
and Practice Is Becoming General
Roots Heal Quickly.

There are many good reasons fol
the fall planting Of orchards.
Those who wish to have an orchard
or to enlarge the one they already
have should get busy.
An orchard pays five times as much
as grain per acre and fall planting is
becoming more popular each season
as experience shows it's advantages
and the practice is becoming general.
AS soon as a tree or shrub becomes
dormant it can be moved from one
place to another and the change OF
location will affect it but little.
When set out in the fall the bruised
roots begin Immediately to heal and
callus is formed, the trees recover
quickly from the moving, soon become
firmly established and with the first
touch of spring are ready to go into
business for themselves in a vigorous
way.
Again, the ground is generally in
better condition for planting in the
fall than in the spring for much spring
planting is done when the ground is
too wet for results.

DEVICE GRADES FRUIT
Number of Machines Are Now or
the Market.
To Command Good Prices Apples Mus,
Be Packed Neatly in Attractive
Packages-Little Extra Time
and Skill Is Required.
(By W. G.. BRIERLY.)

More careful grading and packing
of apples demands that only apples OF
one size be put in a package. Some
packers become so expert that they
can grade an apple with their eye, but
a lot Of growers used apple grading
machines this year to size the fruit
A number of machines are now on
the market. They have been devel
oped by practical men, so that it is
reasonable to suppose that some OF
them will in every way be satisfac
tory.
The requirements are first that the
fruit be graded without any bruising
second that the apples be graded &C
curately and third that the speed be
great enough to permit large guam
tity of fruit to be handled in limited
time.
One of the simplest machines fol-
grading and sorting fruit is made in
the shape of hopper with a chute
running from it. The chute gradually
increases in size, SO that the fruit, as
it rolls down drops into the secondary
chute. Another satisfactory machine
is run by treadle. The fruit is

Snake Creates Panic.

A six-foot snake, full of fight, defed
a squad Of reserves for more than an
hour recently. The policemen were
armed with revolvers, ropes and
sticks. Persons scattered in every d.
rection when the snake wriggled down
the sidewalk. A man who was hurry
ing to catch a car near stepped on the
reptile. He gave a cry Of fright
when he saw the snake almost under
his feet. He darted in another direc-
ton and lost his car. A rapid transit
company employee called up Sergeant
Morrison Of the reserves and in
formed him in excited accents that
snake had taken possession Of a Sec
ton of Market street. A squad of re-
serves were dispatched to the scene,
but the snake moved about in such
vicious manner that none Of the po-
licemen risked going very near the
reptile. Then a young man came
along and captured the snake. 1t had
just escaped from an animal store

ways, are long thin cylinders provided
with spirals. The runways as they
pass away from the hopper widen.
which permits the fruit to fall
through when the proper size is
reached. The cylinders provided with
spirals revolve so as to carry the fruit
forward. On each side and in front
are compartments for running fruit
of each size. Immediately in front Of
the machine is bench for holding a
crate into which the fruit is packed
by hand.
Only little extra time and skill are
required to market apples properly.
If they reach the market poorly grad.
ed, and bruised, or in dirty, broken
packages, they cannot command good
prices. Every farm paper advertises
the clean, neat packages necessary
to show fruits advantageously.
Pick with care. Apples should be well
cOlored and large, but still t1rm. Fail
apples may be picked when full size
is reached without regard to color, or
the color may be allowed to develop
if desired, but the fruit must not be
allowed to soften or drop if it is to
be handled proftably.
Discard all bruised, stung, or mis-
shapen apples and grade as No. 1
those of good color, and as No. 2
those inferior in coloring. Sort &C
cording to size so that every package
is uniform throughout in size of fruit
which it contains. Uniformity in color
and size of fruit and size of package.
combined with neatness and cleanli
ness of package, will add greatly to
the market price of the fruit.

LIFE ONE OF TROUBLE
BANK OF ENGLAND HAS HAD A
VARIED CAREER.
To Her Credit Must Be Placed the
Settlement Of Many Crises in the
Nations History-Has Gone
Through Panics.

More than once in her history the
"old lady of Threadneedle street" has
held the fate of the British empire
in her hands. Just recently Britain
has had much to thank her for-espe-
cially the way she averted an econom-
ic panic at the outbreak Of the war.
William III had not yet begun to
wear mourning for his consort, Mary,
when "the most famous and the rich
est lady in the world" as the late
Lord Goschen styled the Bank Of Eng
land, was modestly Graded at Mer-
GERS hall one July day in 1894, with
that canny Scotchman, William Pater-
son, for godfather
She was we'll lowered as infants go,
for the merchants Of London city sub
scribed in ten days the comfortable
sum Of 100000 for her birth dowry,
thus enabling her to begin life as a
full-born millionairess.
But the child had not long to wait
for her first trouble.
When she was only two years old
against the interloper who was steal
ing their banking business from them.
A few years later the fears of an
invasion by the Pretender brought
her horde Of enemies down on her
again, allied with the rival banks of
Hoare and Child, and she was only
saved from disaster when the dukes
of Marlborough and Newcastle and
many another noble hurried to her
help with coaches trimming with bags
of boarded guineas. When she left
MERGERS hall-her original nursery
for the more spacious Grocers' hall
her staff numbered but 81 all told;
and when her next migration took
her, in 1884, to the nucleus of her
present palatial nome her capital still
fell short of a modest $50,00O,00O.
Here, in 1880, she was compelled to
fight for her life
Newgate had been sacked by a RI
otous mob, a large part Of the city
girdled by fierce thousands bent on
her destruction. But she had gal
liant defenders. Her roof was manned
by clerks, firing volleys of bullets
nodded from the pewter of their ink
stands, which they poured into the
enemy with such deadly effect that
they scattered and fed.
Four years later, "Old Patch" the
roguish son of an old clothes man,
robbed her Of $1,OOO,OO0 by means Of
forged notes, and he had so many imi-
tators that a staff of 70 clerks was
kept busy in detecting them.
But the old lady's diary is crowded
with similar sensations and roman
tic happenings. When, for instance,
in "the ASS" Prince Charles rebel
army had struggled as far south as
Derby, such was the general panic
that the bank was mobbed by anxious
crowds demanding money for it's
notes. Payment was not refused, we
are told, but the bank engaged small
army Of agents to present notes for
which they were paid in sixpences,
the agents going out of doors with
their silver and bringing it back by
another, so that bona fide holders Of
notes could not get near enough to
present them.

HERE is A GOOD WAY
TO GET RID OF PIMPLES

Battle your face for several minutes

apply a little resinol ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with resinol soap and
more hot water, finishing with a dash
of cold water to close the pores. Do
this once or twice day, and you will
be astonished to find how quickly the

soothes and cleanses the pores. re-

Rheumatic Throat

To Prevent Recurrence.

There are successful gargles that stop
soreness in the throat, but to prevent their
incessant return, the blood must be put in
order The best remedy is s. s. s., as 1t
influences all the functions of the body to
neutralize the irritants or waste products
and to stimulate their excretlon through
the proper channels.
Rheumatic sore throat is dangerous
indication, as it means that the blood IS
loaded with more uric acid than the KID
neys can eXcrete, and may thus lead to
serious general disturbance.
The action Of S. S. S. stimulates cellular
activity. 1t prevents the accumulation OF
irritants in local spots. 1t enables the
arteries to supply quickly the new red
blood to replace worn-out tissue.
For this reason uric acid that hnds the
throat an easy prey to it's breaking-doWn
influence, is scattered and eliminated. IN
other words, S. S. s. prevents chronic con-
ditions by enabling all the mucous Innings
of the body to secrete healthy, mucus Its
influence is shown in marked improve
