I Remember.
I remember, I remember the
house where I was born, the lit
tle window where the sun came
peeping in at morn. You'd hard
ly know the old place now, for
Dad is up-to-date and the farm
is scientific, from the back lot to
the gate. The house and barn
are lighted with bright acetyline,
the engine in the laundry is run
by gasoline; we have silos, we
have autos, we have dynamos
and things, a telephone for gos
sip and a phonograph that sings.
The hired man has left us we
miss his homely face a lot of
college graduates are working in
his place. There's an engineer
and fireman, a chauffeur and a
vet, 'lectrician and mechanic,
Oh, the farm's run right, you
bet. The little window where the
sun came peep'ng in at morn
now brightens up a bath room
that cost Dad a car of corn. Our
milkmaid is pneumatic and she's
sanitary, too, but dad gets fif
teen cents a quart for milk that
once brought two. Our cattle
came from Jersey and the hogs
are all Duroc, the sheep are
Southdown beauties and the
chickens Plymouth Rock. To
have the best of everything, that
is our aim and plan, for Dad not
only farms it, but he's a business
man.

The many beet sugar factories
throughout the country are fac
ing a peculiar situation. After
working at full capacity to meet
a supposed demand for high pric
ed sugar, they find that there is
no such demand. Although the
sugar is offered at six cents per
pound, wholesale, sales are slow.
The jobbers and wholesalers, it
seems, stocked up heavily when
the war broke out and, with the
warehouse loaded to the rafters,
they are not eager to put more
money into the product. So the
sugar is going begging at six
cents. How long this condition
will last is a question. The con
sumer, however, as long as he
uses the usual quantity of sugar,
may rest assured that he will not
profit The retail price of sugar
has been advanced to about eight
cents a pound and it is likely that
it will be kept there, indefinitely.
The old "law" of supply and de
mand appears to have been re
pealed in this century. The only
way to touch the speculators is
through the pocket. A lack of
demand or a falling off in de
mand is likely to result in a re
duction in price, for the jobbers
will not care to carry big stocks
that are slow sales. Therefore
if every American would cut
down his allowance of sugar just
a trifle, we would see the prices
tumbling in a few weeks. One
spoonful or one lump, instead of
two in your coffee every morning
for a month would result in a re
turn of five-cent sugar before
Christmas.
Stony Soils and Orchards.
A stony loam is often recom
mended as a desirable fruit soil,
but stones are advantageous only
in that they may help a soil that
is too heavy.or clayey or too im
pervious, by making it somewhat
more pervious to water. The
fact that a soil is stony does not
necessarily imply that it is pro
ductive. If apples are to be
grown with profit and competi
tion is keen, the soil must be
productive or at least capable of
being brought to a productive
state and so maintained. Much
of the current belief that "stony"
soils possess some particular ad
vantage for orchards fruits has
undoubtedly arisen from the suc
cess of many orchards located on
stony hills.
Let Your Light Be Burning.
If your automobile is occupy
ing any street or other public
highway in Pennsylvania,, wheth
er running or standing, the two
front lights and the rear red light
must be kept burning from one
hour after sunset until one hour
before sunrise. Because of a dis
regard of this law, a number f
prominent Chambersburg citizens
have separated themselves fiom
fourteen dollars at the sugges
tion of officers. The fine for the
first oflence is from $10 to $25.

The Width of Fonr Fingers.
Excess peaches should be pick
ed off in the process commonly
called "thinning." Make it a
rule first to pull off all defective
fruits, and second all excess fruits
that will leave those remaining
on the trees no closer .than the
width o your four fingers. This !
distance is easily measured by
simply extending the hand be
tween the fruits, and persons en
gaged in this work get accus
tomed to it. Women are good
hands at thinning fruits and are
more careful and more speedy
than men. The sooner the thin
ning is done, the better for the
trees.
