THIS DOESN'T COME
FROM N00KECHAMP

FREDERICKSBURG, Md. May -
Wilmer +. Davis, n young chicken
fancier, discovered that one OF his
ROSTERS possesses maternal tend
encies. One OF Davis hens recent
ly refused to mother her chicks,
whereupon the boy sought a second
mother, only to have her fight her
adopted offspring.
SO. quite distressed, Wilmer APP
pealed TO his pet rooster, informing
him that since the poor chicks were
motherless he would have to father
them. The rooster obediently went
into the coop with the chickens, and
ever since has been lowering oves
and mothering them with care and
tenderness worthy OF the most ap
proved mother hen.

said not only to eat insects but will
stretch toward the spot where insects
are. In any event, they have been
found extended in the direction of a
tree upon which insects were feeding
ON sap running from an incision.
Persons of wealth are now import
ing fine plants from foreign countries,
and amateur horticulturists are now
endeavoring to secure rare varieties
and freak plants.
An American woman, Mrs. Treat,
proved conclusively that leaves of
certain plants could hear insects or
were conscious of the nearness of in
sects even when there was no con-
tact between the plant and the body
of the insect, and demonstrated it by
pinning live fly half AN inch from a
leaf of sundew, whereupon the leaf
moved itself within the succeeding
two hours near enough to fasten its
tentacles upon the insect.
Possibly this was due to the sense
of smell, but the fact that the buzzing
of the fiy's wings as it died made a
hum would indicate that the sense OF
hearing actuated this carntvofo-s
plant.

The maple in some form is widely
disseminated. Its leaf is graceful in

dainty, and the tree is charming In

SHADE FOR THE FARM HOME

An abundance of shade is one of the
fuxuries which every farm home can
and should have. The city dweller is
often a renter and must take things
AZ they are. Or IL he owns home,
the lot is restricted in size, and large
trees are an impossibility. But on
the farm land for commodious yard
should always be reserved.
Those having a grand old elm,
maple. or oak to begin with, are for
tunate, indeed. But the idea that
trees planted now of these species will
be comfort only to succeeding gen.
erations is quite mistake.
Most of the naples. and especially
the sugar and red naples are of rapid
growth, and at few years at most
will give an abundance of shade.
Do not make the mistake of using
fruit or nut trees in the yard. Both
nuke litter at certain seasons, which
renders them a sort of nuisance en-
tirely unnecessary. If you had no
room for an orchard it would be a
different matter. You want the yard
producer.
Because the city man uses the
horse chestnut for shade, do not follow
his example. He does it because this
tree is low growing and compact-just
the thing where there is little room
either on the ground or in the air.
With your broad expanse a more as
piriug species should be chosen. Be-
sides the burs are nuisance.
There is nothing better on the farm
lawn than native trees. They thrive
admirably. and in every community
there are those well worth attention.
