Stock Damaged By Water
Over $2000 worth of our stock was water -soaked during the dis-
astrous fire which destroyed the Beaver Block. We have made a
settlement with the insurance companies, and are now in a posi-
tion to offer you goods at prices that will make you sit up and
talo notice. Although these goods were wet, they are now thor-
oughly dried out, and so far as wear is concerned, are none the worse.

tion of 1Nast, $pace,
The auction sales ot native fruit
grown on the trees bordering the eoun•
try loads in the township of Linden,
adjoining the city of 1iunover, yielded
last autumn 29,012 marks ($4,900).
Along certain stretches of these roads
the yield has amounted to 1,500 marks
Mu) per. kilometer, or at the rate of
$595 per mile. The province of Ilan -
over has come 7,000 ]Hailes ot country
highways bordered with fruit trees,
the profit of which is appropriated
toward the upkeep of the roads. These
roads, which are commonplace. to the
native resident, are the delight of the
American tourist, who often wonders
why roadsides in the 'United States
are not thus planted to fruit.
This applioatiou of the beautiful,
practical and economic possibilities
embraced in the control of such public
property as roads is a fine illustration
of the community thrift of the Ger-
man. During the three or four weeks'
period of ripening sharp eyed old
watchmen on bicycles patrol the roads,
being particularly active on Sundays,
when the people are out in large num-
bers. It is forbidden to pick up fruit
from the ground, and to knock it from
the trees is subject to a fine of 100
marks ($23.80) or more for each offense.
Laws and regulations for the general
good, however, excite such respect on
the part of the German that cases of
theft of fruit from the highway fruit
trees rarely occur. -Froth Consul Rob-
ert x. Thompson, Hanover, Germany,
CHICKS' LUNCH COUNTER.
Easily Built Hopper Has Saved One-
third of Food Far One Poultry Man.
The builder of this self regulating
Dopper for feeding poultry has found
by many years' experience that it pays
to let chickens have a constant supply
of wheat and other grain, and he
claims that it is economy in the long
run to use a hopper that supplies feed
at all times, but prevents waste. The
old fashioned method of throwing out
grain for the chickens to scramble for '
results in the overfeeding of the strong
and greedy fowls and the consequent
waste of feed, while, on the other hand, •-
the weaker and less aggressive of the
flock do not get their share.
This homemade device is designed
to solve the problem, and the hopper is
so arranged that the chickens can eat
at any time of the wheat, cracked corn,
Kaffir or Egyptian corn and a dry mash
composed of one part cornmeal and

two parts light bran, well mixed. Each
bin has a small hole at the bottom, cov-
ered with a slide into the trough to
regulate the now of grain as it is eaten,
so none is lost. It contains enough to
feed two or three dozen fowls for
about a month and can be cheaply con-
structed out of packing cases, with a
roof of tarred paper. It should be set
in the yard on 2 by 4 boards to pre-
vent moisture from the ground mold-
ing the feed.
The designer of this hopper has used
it for several years and states that It
saves one-third of the amount of feed
formerly used and increases the egg
production very greatly. --Country Gen-
tleman.

Orchard and Garden Notes.
Don't forget that rotation in the
dower beds and borders is as neces-
sary as in the fields and gardens.
Xt you want to raise a good crop of
mice and insects that will damage
the orchard trees let the weeds and
grass lie thick on the ground.
The best fertilizer for asparagus is
rotted manure from grain fed horses.
.Asparagus is a heavy feeder and will
Stand all the manure you can spare.
If you see a little mound of teadust
at the foot of your young apple tree
don't pass it by lightly, That pile is
the borings left by a worm that will
surely kill the tree if you da not dig
him out now.
Apple trees improperly pruned make
good nesting plates for woodpeckers.
The birds dig out the deenyed Wood

Big Grain Shipments.
According tti advices recetVed from
the Wast the Canadien Pacific Rrtiil-
way, up-to-date, have marketed 88
million bnshels of grain on its western
tines, es against a total of fifty-six
million for the corresponding period
- of last year, of which sevrei ty and a
half million bushels were wheat, and
4 the remainder other grain,
WINTER SPRAYING.
flcaommendgd by Georgia Expert el
M•aavrb Against San Jose Seale.
There :was a time when good fruits.
could be grown With little or no spray=
ing• But that time has passed, tor, with
the greveth elf the nursery business and
the dissemination of imported nursery
Stock, injurious insects and fungous dis-
eases have been so thoroughly distrib-
uted all over our fruit growing sections
that unless stringent measures are re-
acted to very little first class fruit can
be produced.
If an orchardist does not intend to
spray his fruit trees he had about as
WON cut thein down and grow other
crops on the soil, tor an uncontrolled
attack of the San Jose scale will in a
very few years put practically the en-
tire orchard out of coznmfssion. This
scale is now : so prevalent that fewor-
chards aro clear of it or can hope to.
remain ea. A large number of the vol.
unteer fruit trees In the fence corners
and along the roads are Infected and
serve to spread the insect to orchards,
even if there were not other chances
of int'ei tion. In fact, the matter nate
rows itself down to the point where
we must either spray or buy our frust
from the man who does spray. .
There are certain scale insects, espew
daily the San Jose scale, which can
not be successfully combated during
the summer, for at this time the trees
are in full foliage and are.so tender
that any spray solution, which will kill
the scale is liable to kill the trees also.
For this reason we have to resort to
fall and winter spraying. At this timei
the trees are dormant and more. re-
sistant to spray solutions, so Haat wd1
can use solutions sufficiently, caustic to
kill the scale and yet not injure thgl
trees..
The San Jose scale is known In ale
most all horticultural literature. How-
ever, It is sometimes surprising td
know how many owners of small - or
chards do not know the San Jose scaiej
when, they see it on a tree. This scale
is of a brownish gray color and is or-
dinarily not larger than the head of s
pin. It attaches itself to the bark of
fruit trees, giving the limbs of then
trees a grayish scaly appearance. If
one of these scales is mashed -with the
point of a knife or other instrument tz
yellow fluid is mashed out Any grow-
er who Is not familiar with this scale
should send specimen pieces of limbs
that are thought to be infected to his
state experiment station or agricul-
tural college for * identification- They
specimens should be closed securely in
a small tin can or other tight recep-
tacle, so that the scale, if present, will
not get scattered through the mails.
These institutions are always glad to
give advice along such linese-H. P.

For Holding Log on Sawbuck.
'An Illinois correspondent sends td
the Farm Journal the following meth-
od of holding wood on a sawbuck: "In
either one of the pieces marked D
put at the upper
end an eight or
tenpenny nail, A.
Take a chain, B,
about three feet
long, with links
having holes large
enough to pass a
nail head through
them. At one end
of the drain put a
'weight, C; tt box
filled with sand or
a few bricks or rocks tied together
;will
do -the heavier the better. Then
the wood to be sawed is put on the
buck in the regular way, as shown.
Put the chain B over it and fasten td
A, so that the 'weight 0 will be about
two Inches from the ground. This
Saves a lot et trouble."

For example, with nitrogen at 15 cents

$0.45. While cottonseed meal -would fig-
