How to Increase the Yield of Fruit
Increased fruit crops are more often the result of good manage¬
ment than of good luck. Fruit trees and fruit plants need a liberal
supply of
Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers
The trees absorb plant foods—that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash-from the soil just the same as any other crop. Experi¬
ence has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so
well recognized that “ return to the land what the tree removes if
the best results ” has become axiom with the you
would expect an best
growers.
Apple, pear, peach, orange and other fruit trees soon respond to
careful fertilization. But be sure to use the best fertilizers.
“I made a test with other companies’ fertilizers,” says Mr. H. O.
Lowry, of Manatee County, Fla., “ and yours proved to be the best.
The yield where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as
much as where the other two companies’ fertilizer was used.”
Hundreds of users say Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are cheapest
because of their good qualities—give better satisfaction and quicker
results.
Many facts of great interest and value to fruit growers are pub¬
lished in the new' 1909 Farmers’ Year Book, a copy of which will be
sent free on application to any of our sales offices.

WILLIAM H. TAFT, TWENTY-SEVENTH PRESIDENT.
President, Taft says the greatest desire of h:s life is to break ihe
soli.1 south But in two public speeches since he has been in office
he has referred to the Confederates as rebels. All of which is a very
poor way to accomplish his heart’s desire.
BEAVERS’ HOMES.
How the Ingenious Little Builders Con¬
struct Their Houses.
When the beavers’ dams are com¬
pleted, the animals separate into small
complies to build cabins or houses
for t^iinselves. These are constructed
upon piles along the borders of the
pond. They are of an oval shape,, re¬
sembling a beehive, and they vary
from five feet 4 ti> ten feet in diameter,
according to the number of families
they are to accommodate.
These dwellings are never less than
two stories high, generally three, and
sometimes they contain four apart¬
ments. The walls of these are from
two feet to three feet thick, formed
of the same materials as the dams. On
the inside they are made smooth, but
left rough without, being rendered im¬
penetrable to rain.
The lower story is about two feet
high, the second is- form«d by a floor
of sticks coveaed with mud, and the
upper part 'terminates with an arched
roof. Tbsjeugh each floor there is a
passage and the uppermost floor is
always above the level of the water.
Each of these huts has two doors, one
on the land side to admit of their go¬
ing out and seeking provisions that
way, another under the water and be¬
low where it freezes to preserve their
communication with the pond.—Eng

FLOATING A WHALE. ■
Inflating the Monster Carcass to Keep
It on the Surface.
“Then began the work of bringing
the w'hale to the surface and blowing
it up so that it would float,* says a
writer on whaling in Popular Me¬
chanics. “Taking a hitch about a con¬
venient post, the rope was slacked and
run through a pulley block at the mast¬
head to relieve the strain of raising
the great body. The winch was set in
motion, and for fifteen minutes noth
iug was heard save the monotonous !
grind as fathom after fathom of line
was woiind in. When the body was
brought alongside the lobes of the
flukes were cut off and lifted to the
deck. Then a long coil of small rub
ber hose, one end of which was at
tached to a pump and the other to a
hollow, spear pointed tube of steel
with perforations along Its entire
length, was brought into play. The
spear was jabbed well down into the |
whale’s side, the air pump was started,
find the body slowly filled with air. j
V\ hen inflated sufficiently to keep it j
afloat, the tube was withdrawn, the
lncision plugged with oakum and the j
chains cast off. A buoy with a flag
was then attached to the carcass and
the whole set adrift to be picked up
at the end of the day’s hunting.”

A GAS LEAK.
After Results That May Come From
Hunting It With a Light.
The folly of hunting for a leak in a
gas pipe with a lighted match is not
so much because of the danger of an
explosion as of other damage, as is
shown by the experience of a house¬
holder not long ago.
One or two small leaks were detect¬
ed by going over all the pipes and
holding a lighted match to them. The
smell of gas ceased, hut was replaced
a few hours later by the smell of burn¬
ing wood.
Another visit to the cellar showed a
charred floor joist a little distance
above a gas pipe. There was no ap¬
parent cause for this until a very close
examination resulted in the finding of
a tiny jet of gas which was issuing
from the pipe beneath the beam.
It was lighted, but was so small as
to be blue iu color aud nearly invisi¬
ble. It had been lighted by the match
used in the first investigation, but had
not been noticed.
“If that leak had happened to be in a
lead joint instead of an iron connec¬
tion,” said a gas man, “there would
probably hare been work for the fire
brigade. The smallest possible jet of
lighted gas issuing through lead will
in time heat and melt the lead and
make the leak larger until a big flame
is issuing.
“This may make a fire hours later
in the dead of night or at a time when
no one is in the boose. The only prop¬
er way to look for these Very small
leaks is to paint the suspected
with a smooth soap lather. Jtist ns ln
the case of a bicycle tire, the tiniest
leak will blow a bubble in the lather
and there you are.’’ — London Tele¬
graph.
MEXICAN JACALS.
Primitive Huts Iri the Villages of the

The Mexican Indian httts in the vii

lower Rio Grande border fegion of
Texas have a style of architecture and
construction that is distinctly theft

is rapidly passing out of existence. At
many places on the border families of
Mexicans have abandoned their jacals
and moved into more pretentious

SHINE WHERE YOU A iZ
Don’t waste your time in longing
For bright impossible things;
Don't sit supinely yearning
For the swiftness of angdls’ wings;
Don’t spurn to be a rush light,
Because you are not a star
But brighten some bit of darkness
By shining just where you are.
—John Hay.
