TREES ALONG HIGHWAYS.
Make the Roaaa AHraetWe aa
the Faraaa More laUMe.
In an interesting address before a
meeting of the grange at Greece, N.
County Engineer J. I. McCllntock
poke on the many advantages of
country life and the importance of bay
Ing good roads. He advocated building
wide roads so that all vehicles could
aafely pass. On the desirability of
having trees along the road he had the
following to say:
We know that hedges, small tsees
and bushes are not suitable along our
roads because of drifting snows, but
there are great trees which will grow
up high and be a source of enjoyment
and attractiveness. I know that some
will object to trees because they will
to some extent reduce the productive
ness of a atrip of land within their
range, but as far us I can learn a good
row of treea along a road will make
the farm more salable. Many of your
farms will be bought by people from
the city, and to them surely the trees
will be an advantage. There should
not be dense rows of trees, but they
should be placed far enough apart to
permit of full development of each
tree. There are certain trees in your
town which many people look upon as
personal friends, and many drives and
walks are taken to visit them and come
under their influence.
The pride of New England aa well as
old England is the noble old treea
which connect -in one life the times of
our sturdy forefathers and the pres
ent It requires time and care to se
cure good trees, but they are worth
the cost in creating the beautiful vis
tas which are so effective in architec
ture, in making cooling shade and in
trlcate forma so refreshing to the body
and delightful to the eye, in making
Wind breaks which are beneficial to
many crops and in transforming a
bleak, flat country into an enjoyable
living and looking place. With united
effort you can secure all the most at
tractive features which rich men and
cities secure by lavish expenditure of
money In the formation of parks, and
It will all add to the value of your prop
erty.

AN ACCURSED BRIDGE.

Pass Over the Straatare.
Standing in the center of an open
field at Home, near Eye, in Suffolk, la
an- obelisk erected to the memory of
King Edmund, who met his death there
at the hands of the Danes in 870, On
the site of the monument stood an oak
tree. In the branches of wnich the king
sought refuge from his foes. At night
fall he emerged from his leafy hiding
place and secreted himself under a
bridge which spanned a stream called
the Ooldbrook.
A wedding party, however, passing
over the bridge In the evening, observed
the king's gold spur glittering in the
moonlight, and in this way his retreat
became known to his enemies. He waa
takeq back to the tree in which he bad
previously hidden himself and shot
with arrows, and his body waa after
ward removed to Bury fit Edmunds
and Interred in the mpnastery there.
On Ooldbrook bridge is inscribed a
record of the event Local tradition
nas It that many years ago the existing
inscription was followed by the words,
"Cursed be the wedding party that
passes this bridge." No part of this
anathema Is now visible, but the tradi
tion is so well known that a bridal
party will take a circuitous route rath
er than pass over the bridge. London

TWO TRADE SECRETS.

"There are two trade secrets," said
an artist, "that the outside world, it
seems, will never learn. One Is a Chi
nese secret the making of the bright
and beautiful color called vermilion or
Chinese red. The other Is a Turkish se
cretthe Inlaying of the hardest steel

"Among the Chinese and among the
Syrians these two secrets are guarded
well Apprentices, before they are tak

strong oath to reveal nothing of what

certificates of good character and bon-

The Ttvmworth
Breed of Swine
The Tam worth la strictly a bacon
bog, remarkable for Its lean. Juicy
bams and long sldea that make Jip in
to the best breakfast bacon writes C.
B. Metcalfe in Farm and Ranch.
A distinctive feature of the bacon
breed ia the form and growth of Its
llde, or "middling." 'The Tamworth has
been bred for several generations with
1 view to shaping this middling np dif
ferently from that of the "lard" breeds
until his advocates claim to have
hog that will produce a aide of almost
equal thickness from belly to back
bone and from shoulder to ham, well
streaked with lean throughout nearly
all of which will make up Into the
choicest breakfast bacon.
Tamworths are remarkable for heart
iness of constitution, great prolifica
cy and their wonderful success in rear
big every pig born, for notwithstand
ing their great aire with a neetful of
pigs they hardly ever overlay a pig.
One sow brought eight Utters, and in
thoae eight litters, all bom in three and
one-half yeara, abe eaved and raised
eighty-three pigs.
The Tamworth la of value to the
American farmer In Its nsa for cross
ing on our stout bodied, short legged
and chunky lard hogs, which will make
not only a cross, but a hybrid ad well,
the cross being of two entirely different
species, Tamworths being pure Sua
acrofa, while the lard breeds are made
up largely of the species Sue lndlcoa.
B. F. Dawley, director of the New
York farmers' Institute, says' of the
Tamworth:
"The Tamwertb la a J) right cherry

shoulders narrow and smooth, body or
sides long and deep, back not wide,
but flat on top, bearing a heavy' tender
loin. It la a great rustler, active, wide
awake, a greet grower, matures early
and la at maturity the largest breed of
swine. The litters run from nine to
fifteen plga. and wo often save all of
them. Each leggy, muscular little fel
low la born with a chip on his shoulder,
and war begin with the second ar
rival. They are long legged, active
bogs, but being long and leggy doe not
necessarily mean that they are alow
to develop, aa a Tamworth at ten
month old will weigh a much a any
breed and more than moat of thoae of
the "chunky typo."

What ia needed In tola country more

We'll begin with box and the plural
is boxes,
But the plural of ox ehould be oxen,
not oxee.
The one fowl is a gooee, but two are

Yet the plural of mouse should nev

You may find a lone mouse or a

But the plural of house is houses,
not nice.
If the pural of man is always called
men,
Why shouldn't the plural af pan be
called pen.
The cow in the plural may be cows
or kine,
But a bow if repeated is never call
ed bine.
And the plural of vow is vows, nev
er vine.
If I speak of a foot and you show
me your feet,
And I gave you a boot, would a
pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth, and the whole set
are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of "both
be called beeth?
If the singular's this and the plural
is these.
Should the plural of kiss be nick
' named keese ?
That one may be that and three
would be those,
Yet a hat in the plural would never
be hose,
And the plural of cat is oata, nbt
cos.
We speak of a brother, and also of
brethren,
But though we eay mother, we nev
er say methren.
Then the masculine, pronouns are
he, his, him,
But imagine the feminine she, shis,

So the English, I think, you all
will agree,
Is the greatest, language you ever

northern potatoes. From the crop
raised from this planting he planted
again last fall, and from the fall-
grown potatoes he planted again this
spring, and he now has a small
patch of this planting, which are as
large as a man's fist, This is three
