A. Surface, State zoolog ist, Harrisburg, to a supreme court justice, will be of inteiest to all those ■ who intend to plant fruit trees: "lean say that I am certain from experience.observation and study,tl.. it , it is best to plant some of the pome j fruit or apple, pear aud quince in the' fall of the year. This,of course,should be done late iu the fall, and care should ' be taken to use trees that were matur ed iu the nursery rather than tho:>« j from which the leaves had been strip- j ped while yet green and thrifty, i j would prefer trees from which the! leaves have dropped naturally. "Some stone fruits are best planted j iu the eraly spring, if the soil is iu a t i proper condition and the planting is j done well. By this I mean, that one | should avoid planting when the soil is so wet that it will cake or pack around \ the roots of trees, which is liable to, be the result of very early spring, planting. I "If trees are kept dormant when iu j storage, they can be planted very late in the spring, but the chief objection | to this is, their lack of growth during tho shortened summer In the fall one j has more time, the soil is in better | condition, and planting cau generally ! ;be done with more care than iu the . springtime. The date of spring plant-! ing does not depend so much upon the j condition of the other trees in the vic inity, or plants of the spring, as upon j the condition of tho trees planted as < to dormancy. It should be a truly dormant tree, or, in other words, one ' in which growth has not started." The Rhtdum Sidus. An amusing story told by nnod de scribes how a country uurseryman made a large sum out of sales of a simple little flower which he sold un der the na:u<- of the Rhoduni sidus. This charming name proved quite an attraction to the ladies, and the flower ! became the rage of the season. It was one of those freaks of for , which there is no accounting. At | length a botanist who found that the , plant was not an uncommon weed re- j quested to know where the nursery- | man got the name from. He elicited j the following reply: "I found this flow er in the road beside us. so christened | I It the Rhodutn sidus." His Night Work.

BENEFIi HUME' i CLOSES SEASON i The base hall seasou "for 1910 came to a close iii Danville Saturday, wlieu the local Susquehanna league team met the Bet wick league aggregation, augmented by several players from other teauiH, iu a benefit game given for the Danville players. Those who went to see a good game of base ball were disappointed but those who were willing to laugh and have a good time, got their money's worth, and from the almost continu ous applause and laughter, there is reason to believe that the latter were largely iu the majority. Berwick hail no trouble in making j seven runs, hits and Danville errors contributing. The locals could not i locate Harned and had to be satisfied with three,one ol which was Umlaut 's home ruu, which cleared the fence just a few feet on the good side of the j two base hit line. | Eddie foster also contributed a hom er, a terrflic drive that hurdled the' I center field fence back id' the flag pole. Mclunes started pitching fur Dan ville,but in the fifth inning was struck i 011 the rigid wrist by a pitched hall He retired and Breunau took up the struggle. Sunny James had the sup remo satisfaction during his tenure of ollice of striking out the heavy hitting Foster. 111 addition Brennan also swelled Dmvill s hit column by lam • ming twice for two bases. ' In the ninth Danville made a hard try to overcome Berwick's lead of 1 four IUUS. Burns placed a terrific hit i jby first base. Ainsworth Hied out to i Sweeney. At this poiut Danville's well known pinch hitter Sam C. Kebmau, was sent iu to bat for Mclunes. Kebmau hit hard toward third base, but Flaherty, by a wonderful stop, robbed him of a hit, tossed to Sweeney at second, re tiring Burns and the double play was completed by retiring liebmau at first.

When the Barber Was a Wit. In original literature the barber Is a great figure, and Arabian tales are full of him. In Italy and Spain he was ofteu the brightest man In town, and his shop was headquarters for wit and intrigue. Jasamin became fa mous as a poet In southern France and I recited his verses with razor, scissors, brush and comical gesture as he dress ed the hair of fine ladles and gentle men In his shop. He had a great run, made money, hived fame, and Smiles made a book about him. CORN Wtof IS-A BIG ONE Henry Clews' letter Saturday says: It is fundamental that the prosperity of our great country is predicated up on the new wealth produced each year by our farms. Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather conditions early 111 the summer, the culmination of the growing season has been so highly favorable, that taking our great crops collectively, the harvests of 1910 will come very close to establishing a new highwater mark,if they do not in fact do so. Every day that frost is delayed brings the king of our crops—corn— I nearer the three billion bushel mark; and the danger point so far as frost is I concerned has already been passed in by far the major part of the tremend ous area of our great corn belt. In j other words, whatever damage may now been countered will undoubtedly be local and comparatively slight; it and is not at this time, counting our chickens before they are hatched, to view briefly the benefits that may be expected of a corn harvest that for tie first time in the history id our j country exceeds the three billion ! bushel mark. Com today is selling in Chicago at more than fifty cents per bushel, on which basis the value of the cron iu dollars ami cents is very '■lose to $1 ..*>00,000,000 —an almost un thinkable sum, exceeding the value of our wheat and cotton crops combined. This will give the West, particularly, a renewal of purchasing power, affect ing not only its ability to take freely the products of our factories, but will iat the same time mean a large traffic ! for the railroads ami extend to rami ! locations far too numerous to attempt to mention in detail. Ooru today en ters so largely into food for man and beast that the importance of a trem endous production can scarcely be ov er estimated. Its uses for human con sumption are so rapidly multiplying that the transportation ol' prepared food products is each year gaining ' rapidly in importance as an item of railroad transportation. Corn, too, en ters into the transportation problem iu many indirect ways. As the real basis of cattle and provisions it be comes a particularly large item of ; transportation, to say nothing ol' coin itself, which is one of the most bulky of railroad commodities. A satisfac tory corn harvest at profitable prices, backed adequately by other favorable argicultural developments,provides an • antidote that must prove highly effec tive iu counteracting developments of a less favorable character. Mrs. Jacob Wilmert, Lincoln, 111., found her way back to perfect health. She writes: "I suffered with kidney trouble aud backache aud my appe tite was very poor at times." A few weeks ago I got Foley's Kidney Fills i and gave them a fair trial. They gave Ime great relief so continued and now ilam in perfect health." For sale by , Failles & Co. Pharmacy.

In some seo ' tious great tracts of chestnut trees i have been affected and many trees have already died. A strong effort should be made to arrest the progress of the disease as soon as it appears. This is not specially difficult; and now, before the leaves fall,is the time |to do it. When a tree is attacked and becomes infected the fungus rapidly spreads in the bark and growing wood of twigs and branches. It progresses so fast that these parts in larger or 1 smaller patches are soon disorganized killed and somewhat shrunken. The leaves which depend upon these parts for their water and food supply with er and shrivel, but do not fall. These twig or branches with their attached dead leaves are very plainly seen in ! contrast with the natural ones and mark the presence of this particular disease. Of course, branches may die from other causes, particularly attacks of boring insects, and mechanical breakage, but the difference is not difficult to detect. If during the next six weeks a carefnl examination is made for this disease,particularly west of the Susquehanna, and in sections not yet known to be infected, it is probable that it can be ariested or even entirely prevented. Affected limbs should he cut off well below the dead wood and burned. Any tiees, the trunks of which are diseased, should lie cut down and the bark and branch es burned. The wood could be used for any purpose desired; it will not spread the disease. How's This ? Wi offer .*IOO reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh fare. F. J.
