OVERLOOK BEAUTY OF FERNS
Greatly Appreciated az They
Should Be.

One OF the things which the florists
Of the United States have neglected TO
a CREST extent Is the growing of ferns.
To he sure We see many beautiful
specimens in the windows of city es-
adjustments, but very few of the more
choice varieties, which are really just
as easy to grow, provided little care
Is taken with them. How many know,
for instance, that there are scores of
varieties Of the "maidenhairT' The
baby maidenhair Is one of the dainti-
est of these. its leaves being but little
larger than the head Of an ordinary
pin. All other variety which Is espe-
cially beautiful Is the New Zealand
maldenhair. The stem Of this fern
tiattens out as It nears the leaves, and
the leaves themselves are superim-
posed one on another. which gives the
effect OF several shades of green. OF
course there are also the gigantic tree
ferns of the tropics, which have fronds
from five TO fifteen feet in length, the
trunks sometimes being four or five
feet in diameter, but these would hard
ly do for lady's bouquet.

OLD RAIL FENCE is M0URNED
Too Wasteful for Modern Days, but II
Had Its Points of Real
Usefulness.

Among the once necessities Of farm
life that reflected prodigality In the
use of valuable timber was the old rail
fence. Like many other almost by
cones Of rural life, its place In farm
wastefulness now is well established,
and yet it had it's uses for which the
straight-line wire fence cannot qualify.
The old rail fences serrated
stretches were the homes Of small ami
NAL life that now Is rapidly disappear
ing. Around its timbers there grew
the uucultivated blackberry, with its
sister the raspberry, and among Its
recesses there thrived the elder, whose
fruit once was coveted pie material
and whose blossoms were the founda'
ton for elderberry wine that matrons
served of winter evening when the
neighbors gathered.
The rail fence, with its invariable
underground, was the favorite protec-
ton for Bob White in winter, and from
it's top he sang In the warmer seasons.
Beneath the little ground squirrel bur
rowed. From safe retreat he chartered
IL some intruder came near to annoy
him as he was buslly engaged In gath
ering his store Of food for the snow
time.
To the harvest hand 1t afforded pro-
lection at the end Of the long row for
a brief respite and its corners formed
shaded hooks under which the water
jug might be kept.
And from what royal timber was
this old fence constructed Black wal
nut logs, chestnut logs and the smooth
length of the ash tree were cleft by
numerous rail splitters for the seven
high" fence that stood the storms of
decades. There was many a black
walnut rail whose timber would make

COMING BACK TO VERMONT

During the war, when munitions ana
other industries were attractive, rural
communities the country over made
their contribution to the centers of
population-and the census figures of
1920 showed the result,
With peace, and its accompanying
decline in the unusual prosperity of
war times, the centers of population
ARE now going through their period of
Ireadjustment-and the trend is back
to the smaller communities.

tol, Conn, as an example. 1t says that
many of Bristol's families are moving
away daily and also that large num-
bers of married men are seeking work
in Vermont and elsewhere, leaving
their families until they can send for
them"

week "36 men. most of them married,
boarded trains for Vermont, where
they will look for work on the farms
