V CHILDREN'S WORK AT HOME Well That They Should Be Given Re sponsibilities Suitable to Their Age and Physical Strength. at home that Is a home is the result of the combined efforts and good will of those who dwell together within the house. In this co-operative enter prise none should be deprived of the benefit which comes from carrying re sponsibility and contributing to the general good. Hence, every child should be given duties to perform in that home as well as privileges to en joy. It is doubtful If a child should be paid for performing his share of the home duties. Each child should care for his own room and should do this properly at the right time. Cer tain other household or farm tasks should be allotted to him not tasks that will delay him In starting to school, not those that will exhaust him at night, or those too I 'uvy for his Immature body, but such work as is reasonable In kind and quantity should be given to him from his earli est years. More boys and girls are in danger of having too little to do in the modern home than too much. Setting tables, washing dishes, car ing for the "sitting room," feeding chickens, sweeping porches and walks are all tasks within the strength of the little school girl, and a boy who always sees that the woodbox is filled, the kindling split, the snow shoveled from the puth and certain barn duties are done will be a more trustworthy citizen In later years than the boy for whom all things are done and who does for no one.

The Colorado farmer who gets more milk from his cows by giving them a dash of grand opera and a bit of rag time on his phonograph Is not a pio neer in this novel field of farm efii clency. George A. Gage of Sutter county, California, claims to be the first "mu sical farmer." Gage raises mules and horses. He has a big music box on his farm and he plays band pieces, preferably sooth ing melodies and waltzes, when he is breaking his mule colts. "Mules love music," said Gage. "I discovered that ten years ago when I drove Benjamin Harrison the orneri est old mule you ever saw to Tuba City when a brass band was -playing. "The mule had one of his balky, con trary spells that day, and I could hard ly do a thing with Benjamin until we got to Yuba City. You'd never believe it if I told you the change just a few band selections made in that animal. From that day until Benjamin's death he was the gentlest, lovingest old mule you ever would want to see. "That gave me an idea. When I break my mule colts now I always have the phonograph play. It seems to at tract the mule's attention from the harness and wagon. "Horses don't seem to be affected much. But mules are nearer human than horses anyway." Gage also avers his chickens like phonograph music, but would not go on record as saying ragtime made the hens lay any more eggs. Development of Opera. Opera has made extensive strides during the last century, although Its origin Is very remote. It came through a gradual course of development from almost the beginning of the Christian era ; earliest librettists were such emi nent men as Aeschylus and Sophocles, who accompanied their spoken drama with a band of lyres and flutes. But grand opera, as we understand it today, originated about the end of the sixteenth century, when Jacopo Perl's opera, "Dafne," was first pre sented. It originated through the gathering of a small party of music lovers at the home of a Florentine no bleman. Theories grew into actuali ties when a performance of "Dafne" was celebrated in the palace of Corsl in 1595. This opera was successfully performed several times, but always in private, and now the score is not dis coverable. Disgusted Author. There sometimes seems reason for a complaint common among writers of this day that artists do not read the text they are to Illustrate. In one of the leading magazines recently the writer mentioned the fact that her heroine was entirely bald a circum stance, indeed, that might have been deduced from the fact that she was nearly one hundred years old. Picture the author's disgust when the old woman was represented vith a head of hair that might have served for the advertisement of some wonder ful "restorative I" Even worse seems the fate of an un happy writer who wrote a story about a boy named "Patsy."

PLAN TO SET APPLE There are thousands of farmers at this time who are planning to set ap ple trees next spring, encouraged by the bountiful crops or fruit of last summer. And this is a work which ought not to be undertaken hastily, but to avoid costly errors there should be some knowledge of varieties, their season and quality. First of all, earnestly resolve that you will not plant any of the early varieties, like Duchess and Yellow Transparent In a good fruit year you may get all you need of these sorts Just for picking them up of your neigh bors. Why should you grow more of the unsalable kinds? This Is said under the supposition that you are planting an orchard for home use chiefly, says Iowa Homestead. Of course, If you are planting a commercial orchard, or have facilities for shipping to a big city market, that alters the case, and you may make good profit from the early varieties. But as matters stand In our rural com munities it would be better if two- APPLES DISPLAYED AT thirds of our early apple trees were cut out for firewood. The Wealthy is a standard apple for early fall, but unless you have facili ties for cold storage do not plant it largely south of the latitude of south ern Wisconsin, central Iowa and cen tral Nebraska. North of that it has some keeping quality and the farther north it can be grown the better it keeps. Even in central Iowa if picked in early maturity just as the seeds turn brown it will keep until mid winter. Plant Ben Davis, N. W. Greening, Salome, Minkler or Black Annette and you will have fruit which will keep until you have time to sell it. But take another hint do not take the INSECT PESTS EASY TO KILL IN WINTER Destroy Trash and Litter When ever It Has Accumulated Cut Out Dead Limbs. (By T. J. TALBERT. Missouri Agricul tural Experiment Station.) Take advantage of the bugs In their winter quarters, the remnants of old plants, the trash and litter about the garden and orchard. Burn out the feuce rows, destroy the trash and litter wherever it has accumulated by burn ing it or plowing it under. Cut out the dead trees and limbs in the orchard and make them into firewood. This cleaning up about the orchard and garden will destroy a dozen or more of our most destructive pests. For example, the plum curcullo Is now wintering as a full-grown beetle in the trash and litter along the fence rows or about the trees ; the codling moth will be found in the worm stage within a silken cocoon tucked away under the shelly bark of dead trees and dead limbs; and the fruit tree bark beetles or shot hole borers will also be found wintering mostly as adult beetles in deud or dying trees. - Under the old stalks and rubbish in the garden and abodt the borders will be found the adult asparagus beetle, bean-leaf beetle, harlequin cabbage bug, flea beetles, the striped cucumber bee tle and the chrysalis of the cabbage worm. If you want to kill these pests, pile and burn deud tomato and pea vines and other remains of vegetation in the garden and along the border. Deep fall or early winter plowing will also destroy many insects. This Is especially true of the cutworms, po tato beetles, white grubs and wire worms which are now hibernating iu the soil. Late fall or early winter plowing will turn these Insects up near the surface and expose them to an at tack of birds, poultry and other ani mals. At this season of the year the Insects are in a dormant or semldor mant condition, and when brought up "Dry Farming." Dry farming is the science of agri culture as applied to farm operations In regions of limited or uncertain rain-'fall- Next Year's Garden.

He can give hints of very great value. And do not plant any crabs. Forty years ago It was the fashion to plant various kinds of crabs and before ap ples were plentiful they did have some value. But we have passed by the crab age. There are still some house keepers who want a few crabs to Jell, pickle, etc. If your wife Is one of that class and you want to Indulge her do not plant more than one tree. The question is often asked: How many trees should be planted for a family orchard? That is one of those general questions which requires a va riety of answers. Some families uso roanf more apples than others. It may be K X ten good trees, when they com? ) full fruitage, will supply an ord ..y family In all good fruit years. Some would say that five trees were enough and others would Increase the ILLINOIS COUNTY FAIR. number to twenty. Get good, thrifty two-year-old trees and set them 25 feet apart The ground may be plant ed with corn or potatoes or some other hoed crop for the first five years. If you are planting simply for home use, not intending to market, one tree of the Wealthy is enough. If the Jon athan and Delicious succeed In your neighborhood by all means include them in your list. Black Annette and Salome are good keepers and are hardy in tree in the north middle sec tions of apple growing; and they are also very good apples in quality. Then, with the N. W. Greening and the old reliable Ben, you will be sure to have fruit, if anybody has fruit. near the surface of the ground they are unable to go deeper in the soil or to construct new cases or cocoons and they are killed by being subjected to excessive weather conditions and to the alternate freezing and thawing. Fall plowing and cultivation will also enable you to have vegetables a week or ten days earlier next spring, because you will be able to plant earlier on fall-plowed ground. SWINE IN ORCHARDS CAUSE MUCH INJURY Never Safe to Permit Hogs or Cattle Among Fruit Trees Un less Grass Is Plentiful. The question is often asked, "Is it safe to let hogs run In an orchard?" It will be safe If you will watch two or three important points. One Is to be sure and see that the hogs do not get to rubbing the trees hard, as In the process of scratching themselves. Sometimes when hogs have lice they will rub against the trees and thus cause considerable damage or injury to the tree. This damage may finally end in collar blight of the apple, and by this means the hogs also aid. In spreading the collar blight or rot which is far the most serious disease of the apple tree. Another point to watch is that hogs do not root out the roots of the young trees. If there are white grubs in the ground close to the roots the hogs may root there to obtain them and by tear ing out the roots they would of course do considerable damage. The last point is the possible dam age to the lower branches or low-hanging fruit, but if sucft injury is observed at the beginning it is easy to prevent it from going further by removing the hogs from- the orchard. In general, it may be said that it is never safe to let hogs or cattle run In any kind of orchard young or old, un less there is plenty of pasture or food therein. When the food supply runs low, look out Arrange Crop Rotation. In farming lands that are inclined to wash, the crop rotation should be so arranged as to keep the land in some growing crop practically the year round. Broken Gate Is Inviting.
