The large land owner also should consider having an orchard, because, with a minimum amount of care, an orchard yields more per sere than any crop he can raise, often on land which might otherwise be useless. Most farmers have a gently sloping hill where grain does not do well in dry years or a sparse pasture near the house which would be better in orchard than in grass. Apples are the standard orchard crop, because they bear well and are adapted to storage, preserving and general usefulness. liMMNMI IAFF MNES r; Ne Use The Quetico-Superior Wilderness area Is one of the few areas In the United States inhabited by moose, of which there are an estimated 800. Other animals in the ares include black bear, timber or gray wolf, white-tailed deer (the herd is estimated at 50,000 to 75,000) and a number of fur-bearers, such ss mink, otter, fisher, weasel, musk* rat, red fox, and lynx. Caribou have almost vanished, though once abun* dant, and couger are occasionally sighted. The lakes and streams abound in water fowl and many varieties of game fish.

M.STANGARONE HcHenry, UL - fie "Why" of Cetera Sensation of color is produced by a difference in wave-length of the light entering our eyes. These are sensitive to waves ranging in length from about 17 to SI millionths of an inch. The shortest waves giva the sensation of violet As they get longer, we see blue, green, orange, yellow or red. Still longer waves, which are invisible, are called infrared, while those shorter than violet are designated ultraviolet. An. object appears colored because it absorbs certain wavelengths and reflects others. If it reflects them alL we say it is white. , Baking Applaa Baking apples can be cooked on top the stove in a heavy pan which has a well-fitted lid.

You can tell the natives by the way t ey look into shop windows. If you haven't bete in New York recently, the latter statement may require a bit of explanation. Two characteristics mark the typical New Yorker: His affinity for crowds and a Certain peculiar nervous curiosity about everything. Combined, these traits make the Gothamite the world's most enthusiastic gaxer into store windows. It matters little what is in the window. No display of neckties or girdles Is too commonplace to attract a little knot of loyal lookers. And if, as is sometimes the esse, there is soma* thing going on behind the plate glass, it's as good as a Katharine Cornell opening night A chefs helper standing In the window of Toffenetti's restaurant at Times square peeling potatoes or cleaning oysters often attracts s crowd of a hundred or more. A television receiver tuned into s program of cooking advice will draw half a hundred males who look incapable of so much as boiling an egg. Watch Stare Windows The New Yoijter does not pause to watch the blinkings of the complex electric signs around Times square. Nor does he stop to look at the big city's biggest show -- the faces and dress of the polyglot crowd hurrying by. But let a storekeeper step into a display , window and move a dress model from front to back and the New Yorker stops transfixed, gazing at the phenomenon in dumb wonder. The reporter decided to experiment with this strange Manhattan habit Walking along W. 43rd St.. he stopped and looked casually at an unusually dull collection of pipes in a tobacconist's window. Immediately. half a dbzen passers-by joined him, standing there mutely gazing at the $1.98 specials. Leaving this little knot behind, the reporter strolled along until he came to another window which no one was watching at the moment He stopped and looked in. As though it sprang from the sidewalk a crowd was with him on the instant. Together they looked solemnly at the three dead fish which the restaurant had placed in the window to lure patrons. Always The Same The reporter tried it agsin snd agsin. Each time he had no sooner stopped than from thr4e to a dozen of the passers-by joined him. It mat* tered not whether the window diss play was a sad, red-skinned lobster or a collection of $5.86 lingerie, a dozen strings of salami or a window { full of bottled hair oil. The reaction ] was the same. I One of the most loyal foUowings j in town is that of the little show put on by a notions shop in a corner of the Times square subway station. Three of the shop's employes apparently spend all of their time standing just inside the open doorway winding up children's mechanical toys. At 3 p.m. or 3 a.m., there is a crowd ranging from a dozen to 90 city dwellers standing silently watching the tin cats snd toy men doing their simple tricks. •••"I•» Spot ky WeivftP: Piyvhelifltl Csiltesi Don't fret sbout being worried, because If you didn't worry you'd really have something to worry sbout! That's the advice of a Northwestern university psychologist Said Associate Prof. Irwin A. Berg: "We think of worry snd how unhappy we are, but have you ever thought that if we lacked such con* corn. houses probably would burn down becsuse we failed to extinguish the gas or a smouldering cigarette butt. bQls probably wouldn't be paid, and we wouldn't even ask for a raise in psy becsuse we weren't worried sbout the cost of living? Many things that should get done would not be accomplished without constructive worry." The core of Professor Berg's analysis of worry Is thst while it hinders us. when carried to extremes. it also helps us physically, mentally and socially. Sincere worry. not Just fretting and stewing, assists s person In achieving purposeful activity, he believes. "A better name for constructive worry is 'concern'," explained Professor Berg. "It serves ss* s safety valve. It is a sort of protection, an insurance policy that certain things will be done." Emphssizlng that worry is s norms! resction which requires learning snd experience to control, the psychologist ssid: "We lesrn to worry about some things and not about others.

Rsuch still is making things tough for the crook even though he has retired from the Mount Vernon police department. Rauch, 48, is not toting a gun or | s night stick any longer. His new role in the battle against crime Is that of an inventor. His invention is a simple, Inez* I. pensive metal device that looks j something like a slide rule. With it, ; almost any door can be locked from i the inside and no key in the world | will open the door from the outside, i The invention is aimed at those | thieves who use skeleton keys, or pass keys, to open doors' in hotels, aparunents and private homes. The device also guards against a lock being picked. It operates simply. One hooked end of tbe device is placed in the strike plate, or Jam. The door is then closed and most of the device, which is a thin strip of metal, extends on the inside of the door. A latch then is slid into tight position against the door. Pronto, thie door is locked so thst no key can open it. The latch is slid backward when a person desires to remove the device and open the door. Rauch said the idea of the invention came to him during one of his msy investigations of robberies by thieves who had used skeleton keys to enter a home. His invention is protected by patent and a large manufacturer now Is putting the device into pror duction. The device weighs only a teW ounces and is no larger than a tooth brush. It can be carried in a man's pocket or In a woman's hsndbag.. Rauch says his invention should prove especially helpful to thoet who travel. It's official name wfll ha th# •fool thief."
