"K-M ' Tl»» Relation of the One to the Other """ in Producing Fruit. V Everybody knows that when a scion • lb Inserted in a tree the fruit which it produces is that of the scion and not of the stock.« fkere have always been some who believed, on general principles, that the stock had some influence on the fruit, even if It could not be perceived. An imperceptible? influence is hardly worth inquiring Into, but some study has been given by competent observers, whose con­ clusion is that the root systems of some stocks were better purveyors of nutriment than others, so that scions grafted into them might pro­ duce more or larger fruit than when grafted into other stocks with which equally good unions were made. But the curiosity of modern investigators is insatiable, and some people have been trying to find out how it is that a quince root, for example, will pro­ duce a pear, or an almond root a plum. Some have thought that it waSj the leaves which did the trick, which^ •was a rather natural theory, because the sap is digested and the nutriment assimilated in the leaves. To deter­ mine this point, says an exchange, scions of the yelloW transparent apple were inserted into branches of the wild crab. After fruit spurs were formed all leaves were removed from the graft and none allowed to form during the season, so that all of the sap was elaborated by the leaves of the wild crab. At the same time an­ other scion of the same yellow trans­ parent tree was inserted into a twig of the same branch and allowed to form Its own leaves. Both of these grafts bore fruit this season, and the general verdict is that no ̂ difference either in size, color or flavor can be detected. In both Instances the fruit is clearly yellow transparent. This experiment would seem to indicate that it makes no difference from whence the sap comes, the fruit will remain true to its kind. MODEL GREENHOUSE. Cheap, Convenient of Access and a Good Thing for Winter Months. Recently, says Farmers' Voice, w< published a valuable article from out New York correspondent, Mr. L. E. Keyser, on the "Farmer's Green house." In a general way there It little doubt that a greenhouse may be made a profitable feature of the farm for &e forcing of winter vegetables and flowers either for home or mar ket, for the testing of seeds and foi HMV* TO SAVE ARM STRAIN.

A broad leath­ er strap has two snap-hooks stitched in at either end, the whole just long enough to go about the shoulders and snap into the handles of any basket or box that it may be desired to carry with apples, potatoes or other articles. You will be surprised to see how easily the shoulders will carry a burden that would make the arms ache. Besides, says Farm Journal, the artas can help the shoulders In this case. BORERS AND SUN SCALD. Suggestions for the Setting Shade Trees. In my experience the borers and sun scald are the greatest obstacles to the growing of shade trees. I have found It to be a good plan to coat the trees with some kind of paint soon after planting the trees. In planting it Is well to remove quite a large por­ tion of the top part, to enable the tree to withstand the loss of a part of its roots when it is taken out of the ground. In digging up trees a very large portion of the ends of the roots Is left in the ground. The roots SO left contain rootlets and feeding hairs in large numbers. As the root takes its food through these root hairs, it is evident that when the tree is placed in new ground It is very de­ ficient in ability to take in food and moisture enough to supply a large top. In setting out trees, do not put them close together. If they are on lawns, I think that 60 or 80 feet is close enough, and for the street 40 or 50 feet. Trimming Is necessary to get a more dense shade aad better shape. RIPENING PEACH-WOOD. Much can be done to make trees endure more cold and to ripen wood and fruit buds before cold weather. Cultivate early in the season to make best growth possible, then stop cul­ ture in early August. , Last of August eat about one-third of this year's growth off to cause the ripening of wood and fruit buds. All tall limbs, should be cut off, leaving trees six to nine feet high. I use long handled fruit shears and can trim from 50 to 160 trees a day. starting plants for early transport* tion In the spring. It must be re* membered, however, that as it does not pay to market with one egg, so the greenhouse should be given thor­ ough attention. « The ideal location for such a hot­ house as is here suggested and which has been found successful, is the southeast angle of the dwelling. The next best would be the south or east side, with double wall, or glass on the weather side. Each will adapt his plans to his needs and opportuni­ ties, using what building sense, gar­ den sense and common sense he may possess. These general directions are recom­ mended: Excavate the earth in the required location in a space of six by 12 feet (long way, east and west) within two feet of the cellar floor. Make two openings in the cellar wall, one 14 inches square, four inches above the pit floor, ahd one foot from the outside wall of the basement, and another circular opening eight inches in diameter at the most convenient point on the same wall and about six inches from the basement ceiling. Fit an iron furnace door frame into the large opening and a circular metal thimble into the smaller one. The door, frame, hinges and latch can be bought for about four dollars. Now build a brick furnace in the pit (with walls four inches thick) three feet long, 16 Inches wide and 16 inches high, Inside measure, one end fitted to the door frame open­ ing. From the opposite end extend nearly to the farther end -of the pit, gradually reducing the size to eight inches square inside measure; carry on a curve partly across the end of the pit and back to the circular open­ ing In the wall to which an eight- Inch stove pipe is to make connection with a convenient chimney in the basement. Build a wall on the exposed sides from the bottom of the pit, the top of the wall to be seven feet above I have no experience in'irrigating frttit trees or fruit plantations. With reasonable cultivation I think that fruit trees do not need irrigation in this part of the state except in ex­ tremely dry weather. When a drouth comes the tree is the last thing to be affected, especially on this level land. I *hink that too much moisture pre­ vents the formation of fruit buds ex­ cept on hilly lart.Wr W; Honey, Jas­ per County, 111. SIDE VIEW the basement floor. This may be of stone, brick, or wood. If of wood, it should be double and packed with dry sawdust and banked up with earth on the outside. The pit should then be filled with sand covering the fur­ nace about six inches. About a foot above the sand build a floor, made of strong slats set on edge with lncb spaces. The end walls may be of glass or solid, and If made double will save fuel. The south side should be of glass resting on the foundation wall which comes up to about the top of the seed bench. The roof can be made of ordinary hot bed sash procured from any mill. The cost of heating this house will be less than half that of an exposed or detached house and take less than one-fourth tho time to look after. A door should open into th# passageway from the dwelling. A bench waist high op the south side holding earth can be used for starting seeds; on the north side tiers of shelves are arranged to sup­ port potted plants or boxes. A passage way is between. Pans con­ taining water are placed below the floor and the sand also kept wet When a fire is made in the furnace the room is filled with moist air, kept at the proper temperature, and thus an ideal climate for the rapid growing of plants is afforded. The great advantage of the green­ house is not so much the high tern* perature as a steady temperature with much moisture. No plants thrive well if set back by cool spells, and some, like egg-plants, peppers, etc., must be kept growing constantly without any check in order to make profitable growth. The hothouse on the lines suggested oostsMittle to build, and almost noth­ ing to operate, and will furnish much pleasure and may be made to yield much profit if intelligently conducted St a time of year when outdoor wort is impossible.

"Our baby had that dreadful com/ plaint, infantile Eczema, which afflict­ ed him for several months, commenc­ ing at the top of his head, and at last covering his whole body. His suffer ings were untold and constant misery, in fact, there was nothing we would not have done to, have given him re­ lief. We finally procured a full set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three or four days he began to show a brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in a year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say in their favor, for they cer­ tainly saved our baby's life, for he was the most awful sight that I ever beheld, prior to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1826 Appleton Ave., Parsons, Kan., July 18, 1905." Senator 8pooner's Shooting. Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, is a successful hunter of big game. On one of his trips he had for his guide BUI Murray. They were out looking for bear or deer one day, when Mur­ ray suddenly threw up his rifle and fired. The senator saw an animal fall heavily, and called: "We've got him this time, Bill." "We!" sneered the guide. "There's no we about it I killed him plain enough." . Quickly making their way to where their quarry- lay, they found a fine specimen of Jersey calf. "We've killed somebody's calf! yelled the guide. •Senator Spooner gave him a with­ ering look and said: "William, you should be more particular in your choice of pronouns.

The top of the garment is fash­ ioned from the most elaborately be- flowered and gorgeously hued mate­ rial conceivable, and if the infant be a girl her splendor is not unfrequent- ly enhanced by a set of coral--neck­ lace, bracelets, pin and earrings. The colorless baby dress is reserved for the unfortunate whose grandmother or great uncle has died since its birth. The white dress in this case is used as a background for a sash of wide black ribbon, tied in a manner that nearly obliterates the front of the waist, while the long euds hang on the child like the badge on the door­ bell of a house of mourning.--Lleuella Tisdale, in Sunset Magazine for Oc­ tober. . Double Tracking the 8anta Fe. The work of double tracking the Santa vFe main line through Kansas is progressing as rapidly as the sup­ ply of steel will permit. Up to the first of September one hundred and elghty-slx miles of double track had been completed, reaching from Kan­ sas City to Newton. This is all laid with the standard eighty-flve pound rail, and ballasted with crushed rock. Between Chicago and Kansas City the double track practically extends from Chicago to Coal City, Illinois, with isolated sections the rest of the way at convenient intervals where traffic is liable to be congested. The main line, as Indeed are most of the branches, is practically ballasted from end to end, or where not ballasted, as in California* and Arizona and in southern Texas, It is sprinkled with oil, which answers the same purpose. Grades have been greatly reduced, as on the new Belen cut-off, which has taken. 1,116 feet off the height of the continental divide. New steel bridges* with solid masonry piers, have been built, and care has been taken to make the construction of the roadway first-class in every particular.

How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri­ ous or objectionable nature, and if at anytime a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of Its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval ot physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa­ ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never,favor indiscriminate self-medication. - Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs ^always has the full name of the Company--California Fig Syrup Co.--plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thlreon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. -1 * 'rtJ '*A -II • • • tr THERE IS For Infante and Children.
