When between fifteen and sixteen years of age the "pages" became "squires," and In the ordinary course ot chivalrous' education "knighthood" was reached In early manhood.

USE OF ELECTRICITY ;| , Veteran Inventor of California Has New Device. "Artificial Hsn" Promises to Be Buo cees Whan Power Is Abundsnt and Cheap—Can Be Attsched to Any Incubstor. An electrical Incubator has been de veloped by C. I* Byce of Petaluma, Cal., a veteran maker of incubators, says the Popular Electricity. The electric "artificial hen" is perhaps the most advanced product of his Inven tive genius and promises to be a com .merclal success when electrical pow er is abundant and cheap In the dis tricts devoted to poultry raising. The Inventor describes his device as follows: "For several years In our r \ Electric Incubstor. experimental rooms and at poultry shows and fairs we have used the electric current for hatching and brooding and many dealers havo | made use of a single globe in their show windows to keep the chicks warm when exhibited there. Our company was the first to use electric ity for artificial brooding and hatch ing, and as far back as .1906 we hatched chicks in this way at the California state fair. "The regulator controls the flow of the current so nicely that the tem perature Is almost perfectly even. Of course the device is practical only in places where a twenty-four hour serv ice is maintained by the power com panies and where the price of the current Is not excessive. To use elec tricity for our Incubators it is not necessary to purchase special com plete outfits. The device is simple and can be attached to any of our in cubators at a trilling expense. It is connected by simply screwing an or dinary electric plug Into the lamp socket of any standard electric light fixture and turning on the key."

I NOT DIFFICULT MATTER TO GROW CELERY - l : • '^n vkSH Iff An Ideal Field of Celsry at Kalamaxoo, Mich., Where the Soil la Peculiarly Adapted to This Vegetable. (By L. M. BENNINGTON.)* We are learning that celery can be grown in almost any locality. It re quires a great deal of moisture, and In aemi-arid regions this must be sup plied by artificial Irrigation. The land best adapted to celery, however, Is muck or heavy soil of a cold nature. The best manure to use Is hog manure.

Flvs Thousand Care of Elberta Va riety, Worth $1,500,000, Marketed Laat Seaeon— Largest Crop In Hletory. (By J. C. 8MA1.1.,) Texas, last season, marketed 6,000 cars of Elberta peaches worth $1,500,- 00. It was the largest crop In the history of the fruit Industry of that section. The crop was handled in an admirable way, both In the orchard and on the cars, and by careful dis tribution found the best markets. Good prices prevailed throughout the Intsrlor of s Peach-Packing Shed at Bullard, Texas. yeason, starting with |1.06 a bushel on July 6, and closing with #5 cents on July 25. The first full car ship ment came from Bullard. and sold at the season's top price In Philadelphia. The forwardness of this district In fruit production Is attributed to the high elevation and the warm charac ter of the rich, red soil of the section. There Is no doubt that these Influ ences have their effects. High lands are earlier and red soils are warmer. But the peaches sent to Philadelphia were hastened to maturity as much by good care and cultivation as they were by the soli and altitude. To prove this, the fact Is cited that after these first peaches had been gathered and marketed at fancy prices, some of the other growers were Just beginning their harvest and were content with lower prices. Besides being early with their El berta crop, the enterprialng orchard Ists of this section are able to com mand a premium price becauae of the high color of their fruit. It la no more trouble to raise a peach that ripens July S than It Is to raise one that ripens two weeks later, and It is Just as easy to raise the big red and yel low ones as It Is to raise the small colorless fruit Texas orchardlsts claim that there Is a good profit In peaches at Jlfty cents a bushel. The price of one dollar, with ten to fif teen cents a bushel added for quality, Is something attractive and these prices are sought by the red-land grower. Both commercial orchards and farm orchard* hare proven very succesiful to Texas. While the big orchard* under careful management bare yield ed large profit!

These rows should be four feet apart, and the plants stand six Inches apart In the row, The old method of making a deep trench Is practiced lit tie now, and the plants are set In a slight depression made by furrowing out with a single shovel plow. This leaves the plants a little below the level, and thh dirt may be worked to them the first few times they are cul tivated. same land to cotton. This mixed farming system, which enables the fruit growers to raise a little truck, and the truck grower to raise a little fruit, makes this country an especial ly attractive place for the small farmer, who Is often muoh more suc cessful than the large grower, bo cause he Is able to give personal at tention to his crops and help them when they need help. Some one must continue to raise early peaches and early tomatoes snd early garden truck for the hungry cities. Nowhere can these crops more easily or more economically be pro duced than In this fertile section of the country. If the farm of twenty, forty or sixty acres Is more profitable than the orchard of 600 or 1,000 acres, the responsibility of fruit and truck production will fall upon the small grower and the large Interests will give him the field. There is a tendency In this direction. No effort Is being made to replace the mammoth or chards, which a few yoars ago were the vogue, but thero are Just as many bearing trees and the fruit produc tion is as large as in previous years. It is plain that the Industry Is falling Into more competent hands. The ten or twenty acre orchard on a farm that has field and garden crops, live stock and poultry, pays a better profit on the Investment than the large acreage devoted entirely to fruits. DIPPING FOR SCABBY SHEEP Kentucky Ststlon Mskes Experiments to Determine Vslus of Sulphur to Tobacco Dip. The Kentucky station, In co-opera tion with the bureau of animal In dustry, United States department of agriculture, has made a series of ex periments to determine whether or not it Is necessary to use sulphur with tobacco dips in the dipping of scabby sheep in order to effect a cure. The addition of sulphur Ihcreasea the cost. Therefore, If the sulphur could be omitted and the dip still be effective. It would in the aggregate save a large sum of money yearly to the users of tobacco dips. The results of these experiments, which were con firmed by those of sVßsequent dip ping tests by the bureau of animal Industry on the western ranges un der field conditions, Indicated no bene fit from the addition of sulphur to the nlcotln solutions used (O.M to 0.07 per cent nlcotln).

DAINTIEST OF BIRD'S NESTS Maple Leaf of Ordinary Size Will Con ceal the Home of the Hum-, mlng Bird. The most exquisitely dainty home built by the bill and feet of birds Is that of the ruby throated humming bird, says a writer in the Craftsman. When completed It Is scarcely larger i than an English walnut and Is usually saddled on a small horizontal limb of a ' tree or shrub frequently many feet , from the ground. It is composed al most entirely of soft plant fibers, fragments of spiders' webs sometimes being used to bold them In shape. The sides are thickly studded with bits of lichen, and practiced Indeed Ib the eye of the man who can distinguish It from a knot on the limb. The eggs are the size of quinlne"pllls. Although the humming bird's nest Is exceedingly frail, there appears to' be nothing on record to show that any great numbers of them come to grief during the summer rains. It Is, however, not called upon for a long tenure of occupancy. Within three weeks after the two little white eggs •re laid the young have departed on their tiny pinions. Advice to Consumptives.
