SPRAYING RINGS PROFITABLE
Each Member Bought Share of Stock
So That Sprayer and Materials
Could De Had.
(Urepnrml Iiy llio tTnltcil ntniPK Dppirttnent
of Auric ull tin )
Two spraying rings formed last yenr
In Stark County, 111., In connect Ion
with the fnrm-orchfinl extension proj
ect were very successful. The country
agent of the I'liltr-d States Department
of Agriculture and the State College
of Agriculture stnrted on the work
by emphasizing' the value of fruit In
tbo family diet and quoting Insures on
the -')st of pruning and spraying and
tho financial return from good farm
orchards In nearby counties where
the trees have been properly handled.
Two pruning demonstrations were
scheduled and nn expert called In to
talk. At each of these meetings a co
operative npray ring was organized,
modeled on those In Iowa. At the
stnrt each member purchased a sbaro
of stock at $40, so that a power
sprayer and enough spray materials
could be bought to do most of tho sen
son's work.
In one ring a stockholder, whoso
farm work was light, was hired at 75
cents an hour to do the spraying for
all the other members. This proved
very satisfactory. In the other an out
sider was hired to do tho work, but
did not finish It, so thnt each member
had to finish spraying his own orchard.
All spray materials were purchased
co-operatively at considerable saving.
The county agent nssisted each ring
with Information as to the proper ma
terials, their correct dilution, and when
applications were to bo made. One
ring Included 32 orchards, tho other
13, averaging about 25 trees each. The
orchards In each ring were located
within a radius of KV4 miles.
One man sprayed 30 trees at a total
cost for materials, labor, and deprecia
tion of stock of $18.55, and after using

apples all summer and fall sold $2S0.50
worth and had 20 bushels stored for
winter use. Another member reported
a spraying cost of $21.31) and sales
amounting to $21)0 In addition to those
stored for winter use. Another man
In the same ring supplied four families
from six trees and sold the surplus at
$3.50 a bushel.
In the fall an orchard tour, partici
pated in by 45 people, was arranged,
to visit several of these orchards, so
that those who were Interested might
see for themselves that a farmer could
raise apples and farm nt the same
time.
BEST GOOSEBERRIES TO GROW
Downing, Red Jacket and Carrie Are
Considered Most Desirable Amer
ican Varieties.
The best gooseberries to grow ure
Downing, Red Jacket and Carrie, these"
being the most desirable of American
varieties. The Downing produces
largo green berries. The Red Jacket
berries are similar to tho Downing,
but reddish In color, while the Carrie
produces , much fruit and Is easy to
pick. Of the English varieties of goose
berries, Whitesmith and Keepsake aro
two of the most resistant to mildew,
the Whitesmith producing very large
ivhitlsh-grpen berries and the Keepsake
large dark berries.
IN PLOWING YOUNG ORCHARD
To Croat Dtep Root System Work as
Clots to Trees as Possible
Without Injury.
In plowing tbo young orchard, work
is close up to the trees as possible
without Injuring them. This will cause
deep root system to be established,
which Is desirable. Avoid damage to
fruit troes by bruising the bark while
cultivating the orchurd.
Unspraysd Orchard It Menace.
An unsprayed orchard may be a
menace to other orchards, as It Is a
harbor for Insects and vermin. Better
either spray and prune and toko care
of the trees generally, or elao cut them
down.
Place for Wood Ashes.
A good place for wood ashes Is to

FEAST CHANGED IN MEANING
Jewleh Passover Originally Agrlcul
tural FestivalNow Refers Di
rectly to Escape From Egypt.
The Jewish festival of I'assover com
memorates the release of tho Hebrews
from Kgyplhin bondage. The festival
opens with a household ceremony,
called the Seder, at which a collation
Is served and various rellgous rites
performed, including a recital of the
events of the Exodus, from a special
ritual service compiled for this occa
blon. Originally Passover was an agricul
tural feast. At a later period It be
i..'ee dissociated In part from Its prim
itive nature and came to refer direct
l to tho escape from L'gypt, which in
vented the festival with the new and
highly significant spiritual ino.-sagc of
liberty for all mankind. .
In the synagogue the note of spring
is rellected in assigned scriptural
reading wheieln the worshiper is re
minded that the winter Is over. This
is in harmony with the purpose of the
Passover, which Is to recall to mind
the many miracles which were wrought
In behalf of the. House of Jacob by the
aever-slunibering guardian and keeper
of Israel, Israel Is hidden, through
the annual message of I'assover, to
work for the eventual triumph of Im
munity over the tyranny of Injustice
nnd iniquity. Detroit News.
Sing Deeda of Light Tenders.
Tlit hardships endured by light
keepers have Inspired the pens of
Mime of our best writers. Robert
Louis Stevenson. In sketching the life

pictures of their lot.
The llr.-.t llghthousekeeper In this
jountry, George Worthylnkc, at 15os
ton light, whose, llrst year's salary
was 50 pounds, was drowned with
Ids wife and daughter on November
3, 1718, and this Incident was the In
spiration for a ballad, the "Lighthouse
Tragedy," written by.IJenJamln Frank
lin, then a boy of thirteen. In his
uitohlogrnphy he tells us thut his
brother Induced him to print und sell
copies of this ballad on the streets
jf Hoston, and that It "sold wonder
fully," the event being recent nnd
'having made a great noise." No
:opy of this ballad seems to have been
preserved, but the author admits It
(vas "wretched stuff."
Fig Blossoms Inside Its Own Fruit.
A peculiarity of the tig Is that It
jioduce.s Its fruit llrst und blossoms
nslde the fruit, or so nearly so that
to llower Is perceptible to an ord!
tary observer.
Iiecause of the peculiar structure of
.lie tig fruit the process of polllna
;lon cannot be accomplished either by
.he wind or by ordinary insects. A
peculiar hymen-opterous Insect Is an
nhabltant of the wild figs Jn their
ititlvc countries and also visits the
mltivuted varieties. It Is to this In
ject alone that the pollination of the
mltlvated sorts Is due. Smyrna fig
,'iilture would be an Impossibility with
ut this Insect.

Aunj Pilscllla spreud the ipiilt on
the bed and she and her niece bent
above It.
"I lil.e the lavender piece," Pith!
I'rlwde, the young.
".My, wlim a time grandmother must
huo had wnvlng (hoc pieces of mus
lin nnd calico togethev wasted time,"
added this member of n, Inter genera
tion. "I don't know that it was wasted
time," Priscilla replied. "TVe rowing

ate the ijullt as wo n'liiuld. Why, It Is

represents some memory."
"Are there memories of yours there,
I'rls?" asked the girl.
She and the sweel-faced aunt were
like companions of the same age. The
older woman's eyes grew softlv remi
niscent. With a light linger she
touched the lavender square.
"The day I wore that dress," sho
said, "my true love llrst met me. I
wore It also the day we said good-hy."
"Tell me tho story," said the girl
abruptly.
"There Is llttlo to tell, dean I met
Homer Reld and my heart tlew out to
him. lie was all my youthful dreams
had funded tho realization of my
ideal. And I never cared for anyone
else. He admired my little lavender
dress that first enchanted evening and
always after, because of its color, he
called mo Violet. When his visits
ceaseu i mid the dress away. Tho
lust night that he came I had tiie dress
on, I remember, and when he said,
'Good-night Violet,' I thought that his
backward glance was very tender. He
was leaving the next morning for New
York. When he came home again ho
was altogether absorbed In work,
while I became more and more occu
pied with your invalid grandmother.
1 was glad then that the making of
the riutlt afforded her happiness."
"Mr. Held, the lawyer, Is not mnr
rled," remarked 1'rlssle Irrelevantly.
"Probably the stupid has loved yo'u
all the time. Yours Is a tame love
story, Pris. I'll say. and could not pos
sibly happen In the days of the mod-
ern woman. She'd get after him and
want to know what was the matter,
which would be better for both par
ties concerned," Prlscllla smiled.
. "The modern woman such as you
undoubtedly would." she replied.
It was several days later that the
lawyer, going home at evening, met
with u pretty picture. A girl In a lav
ender dress wns engaged In picking
roses In an old-fashioned garden
across the hedge.
"If you will come Into the garden,
Mr. ReM," cheerfully Invited this
young person, "1 will give you some
roses for your mother."
A gracious child, thought the law
yer, and stepped inside.
"I will have to hurry," she ex
plained, "Hertle Is coming to take me
for a ride."
"Hertle?" politely questioned Ho
mer Held.
Prissle nodded. "My sweetheart, as
Aunt Prlscllla would call him. Bertie
thinks lots of Aunt Prls. He thinks I
look like her."
The niece glanced up sldewlse. "Do
you? Of course you must know Miss
Prlscllla Dean."
"I used to know her very well In
deed," the lawyer answered gravely.
He took the roses and went thought
fully away.
"What's the Idea?" asked Bertie
over the hedge, "alining to be nn old
man's darling?"
"Jenlous again," mocked Prissle
merrily. "Bertie, be glnd you live In
the present age."
Prlscllla Dean looked unusually at
tractive when upon the following Sab
bath she emerged from the church
edifice with her young niece. Miss
Dean, nlways becomingly attired, had
acquired some udded charm In the
lavender frock of her niece's choice.
Blithely, Prissle the young, nodded
to a distinguished gentleman who
passed them.
"How did the roses go?" she ques
tioned chumlly.
Prlscllla Dean caught her breath In
confusion, but Homer Held us chum
lly replied.
"Mother thought the roses were
grcnt ; she wants you to come nnd see
her. Though It's a good deul to ask
youth to companion old ago."
He fell Into step at their side.
"Maybe Aunt Prls will go Instead,"
the Irl suggested. "I am to be mar
ried soon and I'm busy." '
Smiling, she hurried on ahead to her
Bertie.
Homer Reld gazed Into the sweet
face near his own.
"Prlscllla," he said slowly, "you are
today the very girl I met and loved
long ngo. My Violet that the busy
years took from me "
Prls glanced over her shoulder.
"Bertie," she remarked, "I'm going
to have some one saw u piece of this
dress I am wearing Into a quilt."
"Nuttv!" answered Bertie tenderly.
typt So Bad, After All.
"Do you ever want to leave the
farm?"
"Yes," snld Mr. Cobbles. "Not nnd
then 1 get to feeling that wuy, and
when I do I run down to th' city for
a few days. After I've been elbowed,
stepped on, bawled nt by traffic police

DATES BACK TO STONE AGE
English Industry, Still Carried On,
Estimated to Be Nine Thou
sand Years Old.
While science and Invention hnvo
blotted out many of the old and time
honored industries in the country,
some still exist which not only date
back centuries, but succeed In hold
ing their own against their modern
rivals, remarks Loudon Tit-Bits.
Perhaps the oldest and yet lenst
known surviving industry Is carried
on lu Brandon in East Auglla. - Long
years ago the dwellers In the Stone
and Neolithic ages discovered thnt
the ground In thisAtllstrict was full of
Hints, which they proceeded to un
earth and fashion into polished tools
and weapons.
That was at least 9,000 years ago.,
Today tho Industry still flourishes,
and It Is believed thnt the Brandon
"lllnt-knnppers" are the direct de
scendants of those ohltlnto workers.
In their work they use curiously
shaped Iron picks, closely resembling
reindeer's horns, which, as a matter
of fact, wore the tools used by tie
Stone age workers. ,
The flint Is found in large blocks,
which are left to dry and then bro
ken Into pieces slv Inches square.
These, In turn, are shaped with ham
mers, and then trimmed. Tew lllnt
knnppers live to be old men. for the
particles of the material that are
thrown off enter the lungs and bring
on consumption.
PROOF OF GENOA'S ANIQUITY
Italian City Wao a Place of Impor
tance In the Fifth Century
Before Christ.
An inscription lu the cathedral of
St. Lawrence contains the traditional
account of Genoa's foundation by
"Janus, the first king of Italy, aniTde
scended from tho Giants," adding that
he was "great-grandson of Noah," nnd
that he founded the city "In the time
of Abraham." As a matter of fact, Us
name is derived not from "Janus" but
from the Latin "genu" ("knee"), owing
to tho shape of the coast, but Us an
tiquity wns conclusively proved In
1S0S by the discovery of undent
vases of tho Fifth century beforo
Christ, which, If not used by the con
temporaries of Abraham, were at least
of the same age as the Persian wars In
Greece and the early republic In Rome.
The first mention of the city, how
ever, In Romnn history Is Its destruc
tion by Mngo, the Carthagenlnn gen
ernl, during tho second Punic war, and
Us refoundlng by the Romans In 203.
One memorial of Human Genoa still
survives Jn the shape of a bronze tab
let, now In the town hall, containing
the judgment of Roman arbitrators In
a dispute between the city and an
other pluce in 117 B. C. Peocoplus
accurately described Genoa as "well
situated as a port of call for the voyago
to Gaul and to Spain," as it still Is.

sigh llko a person In distress to at
'tract people to the spot They even
abed tears over their prey while de
