TREES FOR SPRING PLANTING
Select Varieties Suited to Localities
and Get Those Free From Flaws
of Any Kind.

Consideration of fruit tree varieties
for spring planting should not be long
er delayed. In making out an order
special care should be exercised to
select varieties suited to the locality,
and to secure trees true to name, thor
oughly healthy, entirely dormant and
free from all evidence Of premature
digging, faulty storage or improper
handling of any kind.
This is best accomplished by or
dering direct from responsible nur-
series, after submitting requirements
to several firms for bids. 1t is imma-
terial where the nursery is located, IL
the varieties and quality of stock are
right, and any nursery can hold trees
until the right time for planting. One
year-old trees, which are of good size
but not OvergrOwn, are commended
by the Pennsylvania agricultural ex-
pertinent station. For home orchards
or local markets, wide range of va
rieties covering the entire season is
desirable.

at her. He cared nothing for Miss H.
lingwOrth, but he had passion for
the older Meade that matched hers for
the younger.
"He has told the TRUTH" he cried al
most like baited animal. mo one is
going to ruin the reputation of the
man l have served and to whom have
given my life without protest from me-
It's his fault, his, his, his" he cried,
his voice rising with every repetition
of the pronoun as he pointed at Meade.
Helen Illingworth turned to her lover
again. She was quieter now.
81 know that neither of you is telling
the truth" she said. Lying for a
great cause, lying in splendid self-sac-
rifice. You are running yourself for
your fathers name and he is abetting.
Why? 1t can't make any difference to
him now. But it makes a great differ
ence to me. Have you thought of that?
I'm going to marry you anyway. Only
tell me the truth, Bert. By our love /
ask you. If you want me to keep your
secret I'll do 1t. But If you won't tell
me I'll get that evidence, will find
out the truth. and then / shall publish
it to the whole world and then"
And you would marry me Them
asked Meade, swept away by this pro,
found pleading.
81 will marry you now, instantly, al
any time" answered the girl. Indeed
you need me. Guilty or innocent l am
yours and you are mine"
Listen" protested the engineer
nothing will ever relieve me Of the
blame, of the shame, of the disgrace OF
this. But am a man. l have youth
still, and strength and inspiration. I'm
til can hold up my head among men
l am nothing to you and you are free.
There was a finality in his tone
which the woman recognized. She
could as well break it down as batter
a stone wall with her naked fist. She
looked at him long time.
Every WELL" she said at last, unless
l shall be your wife shall be the wife
of no man. | shall wait confident In
the hope that there is a just God, anG
that he will point out some way"

ALL FRESH FRUIT IS ALIVE
tor Cars While In Transit Is
Important Factor.

The results of fruit-handling inves.
legations during the past few seasons
show that the most important factor
in determining the condition of either
fruits or vegetables in transit and after
arrival on the market is the tempera
ture maintained in refrigerator cars
during transportation.
All fresh fruit is alive, and the life
activities continue with greater or less
rapidity until it goes into consumption !
the temperatures maintained in tran
sit determine to a great degree both
the rate Of ripening and the develop
ment of fungi and other decay-produc'
ing organisms.

Hearty Appetites Of Birds.

It Is interesting to observe that hun
CRY birds-and birds are hungry all
the time-are not content with full
stomachs, but after stuffing the stom-
ach until 1t will hold no more, they eat
until the crop or gullet also is cram
med. 1t is an undisputed fact that
birds have healthy appetites. To show
the astonishing capacity of q birds

ness Of man to birds for the destruc-
ton Of noxious insects, II is often the
case that q stomach will contain two
or three times as much material as the
stomach should seem normally to hold.
This Is proved by the reports from
examinations made by the assistants
of the biological survey. A bank swal-
low In Texas devoured SO cotton boil
weevils, one of the worst insect pests
that ever invaded the United States.

KILL ORCHARD INSECT PESTS
DURING Dormant Period of Trees Much
Valuable Work May Be Done by
Strong Sprays.

Valuable work in the control of or.
chard insect pests may be accom-.
plished during the winter and early
spring. Certain destructive insects are
held in check only by spraying during
the dormant period of trees when
stronger washes may be used thar
when the trees are in foliage.
Many insects of the orchard spend
the winter on the trees in the egg
larval, or pupal stage, and their de
struction in the course Of pruning OF
other orchard work is practicable anC
is of much Importance in keeping then

How to XIII Ants.

Ants may be driven away by taking
a handful Of tansy leaves, broken into
pieces and dropped into boiling water.
Dip a brush into this and wash where
the ants frequent. Do not let the steam
get near your eyes, as 1t Is extremely
painful. Another recipe Is: Mix one
teaspOonful Of tartar emetic and one
teaspoonful Of sugar and place on the
floor. A sure remedy for red ants is
hot alum water, in proportions of two
pounds of alum to three quarts Of wa

DEHORNING IS NOT FAVORED
Severe Heading Back Of Apple Trees
Not as Satisfactory as Many
Thought II Would Be.

Severe heading back Of old apple
trees (dehOrning) has not proved to BE-
as satisfactory as many Of us once
hoped it would.
The difficulty is that the large
wounds made in heading back large
branches often do not heal over and
the life Of the tree is likely to be ma
terially shortened.
