What has become of the Sunday school concert?' said a man who came out of a church in Fifth avenue after a visit to the Sunday school room. Maybe you never had Sunday school concerts in New York? We did not call them that in my part of the country, but that is what they were. The Sunday schools were held in the afternoon. About an hour was devoted to music, to singing. It was the sort of music which children could siag and the words were so simple that a mere tot could understand them. Every now and then I read or hear about a concert of civil war songs. I should like to hear some of the old Sunday school music which Sam used to direct.

The of the Vermont Experiment station have shown that hardly any sap comes from a greater depth. Point 3. The hole should be carefully cleaned of chips, because even a very small quantity of waste matter will clog the spout, obstruct the flow of sap, and seriously reduce the yield of sugar. Point 4. A spout should be chosen of such a pattern as will allow the freest flow of sap. It should interfere with the wood tissue of the tree - a little as possible.

It was one of the most profitable meetings In the history of the organization. The program as published In the Review was carried out with but few exceptions. Only three of the speakers failed to respond. Several very interesting papers were read and the discussion was general and instructive. Resolutions were passed favoring the conrecords solidation of the Poland-Chinand In favor of selling for cash or its equivalent.

Carries a Complete Line GROCERIES AND MEATS wvwvvw Effective "Argument'" by Which Missouri Lawyer Won Verdict far His Client Against a Railroad Company. j Bert Norton! of Macon, Mo won a lawsuit in the Federal court at Hannibal a few days ago in a way unusual among lawyers by silence. Mrs. Martha B. Phipps of Macon sued the Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe Railway company for $15,000. She claimed that a spark from one of Its engines caused the burning of her deceased husband's business property at Ethel. The testimony showed that the Santa Fe train stopped at Ethel four minutes the night of the fire, but also that the fire' was well under way before the uuLth, wauh'. Beys argued that it was ridiculous to maintain that a fire could be started by a spark and get well undgr way in such a short time. Mr. Norton devoted practically his entire argument to this point. He said, says the Macon Repub-- ' liean, if a young fellow was sitting on a sofa, playing hands with his girl, time traveled like an express train, but if you dumped a lot of engine parks on the pine roof of a dry building in summer time, four minutes were ample to settle the fate of the structure in spite of all efforts to save it.

Pruning by thinning the fruit may have a very Important, though indirect effect in controlling the bearing year of many plants. If an Individual fruit spur be carefully studied, it will be seen that there is usually an alteration In fruit bearing for the reason that the (Jemands made by the fruit are so great that a fruit bud cannot develop the same year. So In the to develops bearing year, a continue the spur the following year; and In this following, or barren year, a fruit bucTls developed for the succeeding year.

Effect on Plants of Colored Glass. Colored glass may yet be used In the growing of certain plants, especially of those Intended for ornamental purposes because of their foliage. In France some quite elaborate experiments have been made to ascertain the effect on plants, of different colors. One experimenter tried growing strawberries under different colored glasses. The largest and green--s- t plants were obtained when the yellow glass was used, but this gain was offset by a decrease in size of the fruit, by a decrease in the aggregate quantity obtained, and by the lateness of the fruit in maturing. Glass without color proved the best when large and early fruit was required. This of course proves that present EtOgtce in this letter is correct. Th largest .numter of fruits is not obtained under colorless glass. This result was obtained oniy when violet colored glass was used; but this kind of glass decreased the size of the fruit. Injured the quality and rendered it later In maturing. It was found that green, red nd blue glasses Injured the foliage f the plants. The natural conclusion is reached that glass should be used, except where it is desired to stimulate the growth of foliage. J. w., LAWRENCE, Manager. major-gener- s Point 6. The spout should be strong enough, and its hold on the tree firm enough, so that it will safely support the sap bucket. Moreover the spout should be easy to insert and easy to remove. The various spouts commonly sold at the hardware stores differ materially in their merits when judged by the foregoing tests. The sugar maker will do well to examine them all carefully before buying his supply for the coming season. ) ' Oil coju-mercl- firm. I THE w 1 |
