The fourth grade teacher was
teaching the children the meaning of
several new words, among them being
the word naturalist" She had
spoken Of John Burroughs and several
of our best known nature lovers and
then decided to test the children to
see whether they thoroughly under
stood the word. She turned to little
Newell. Use the ward naturalist In
a sentence" she told him.
For minute the little fellow was
perplexed and then came a bright
thought which brought relief to his
face. He said: THAT was the natur-

Protecting Peaches.

Every fall just before the heavy
freezes. the owner OF a peach tree
who, by the way, lives in the little
town of Florence, Colo. wraps tho
branches, putting several together,
with excelsior, then covers them with
burlap and sews them up. The idea
is to protect the tender frrif spurs
from the severe freezing of the winter
In the spring, just before the sap starts
up, he unwraps the tree. and allows It
to spresd cut In It's natural shape. He
has done this from year to year and
has little peach crop all bis own.
