Have Good Root System for Small Fruit Plants Dig plum trees so as to get as many roots as Is possible, then turn the tree over and cut all ends o f roots off. at a slope from the under side, The top parts should be cut off, too, so that they correspond with the amount o f roots that are left. In cut, ting back the top, If the tree is a very upright grower, leave the last bmUat point where you cut, on the outside, so that the new growth will come out ’ more spreading. The last good bud left on stubs - Is the one that'. will make the lending new growth, so lejy’e it on the side that you wish occupied, When setting outr the plum and small fruit plants, be sure to firm the soli well about the roots. In digging and preparing the raspberry and black­ berry plants, there la. not much for you to observe except getting a fairly good root system. Tbe old top may be dead' to the ground, of it may not be; but In any case you shoult? only leave one single cane and cut this, back to a stub from 8 to 12 Inches |long.

Results from three experiment sta­ tions show that 370, pounds o f pump­ kins fed with 273 pounds of grain, gave 100 pounds of gain with fatten-. ing pigs. Authorities state that 2*4 tons of pumpkins are equal to one ton of corn silage. About the only way •of getting at the value of corn silage is by figuring its actual cost and this varies a great deni. Data kept in Illinois Indicated that a ton o f silage Costs about $3,80. With concentrates at $20 per ton and legume hay at $14 p e r xoiL' guoa' siiugeJis~wonrrnrourar"f~ $6.50 per ton. Therefore, If it takes 2V& tons of pumpkins To .equal one- ton of corn sllnge and" it Is worth $6.50, pumpkins would be worth less than half that amount. However, we her Have they would be worth more than thnt for feeding hogs hut we doubt If they are worth. $6 per ton. The seeds of pumpkins contain much nutri­ ment and they should not be removed when feeding. Beets are one of. the mo*'t healthful of vegetables, containing more ele­ ments wlilch the human system needs than almost any other. * * * Every home garden should have s little patch of plants for salads.

JOE GORDON tf Sha Had Knoitied. Another example o f queer English has come to our attention, During a New York cofirt Inquiry Intp a family quarrel' the wife stood up, rawed her arms and cried: “Oh, If I had knowed when I was sweet sixteen already ail that t know now yeti” When Dutch ’ and Swedes Fought on U. S. Soil When Gustavos Adolftbus, the great king o f Bwadea, saw the success of other .European nations In planting colonies la the New.World, he resolved In America, Aeeordingly lie formed a colonizing company for that purpose, but his death prevented the plan from being .carried out. Queen Christina and Oxenstlem, Adolphus’ famous minister, however, renewed the project and in 1638 they Seat out a colony of “plain, strong, Industrious people,” who settled in What Is now the state of Delaware and called It New Sweden. There they bUllt a> fort,r which stood near the present city o f Wilmington, ,and they named it Fort Christina In honor of their queen. o The new colony was soon In trouble. This . ground was- claimed by the Dutch, who had settled New’ Amster­ dam a quarter of a century before, and after several years o f bitter dis­ pute between: the: Dutch and the Swedes, Peter Sfuyvesant, the choleric old governor o f New-Amsterdam, re­ solved to put' $n end to the trouble by expelling tb.e Swedes. . In. 1654 SjtuyvcSftnt sailed.,from New Amsterdam with <a fleet to capture Rort Christina, Washington Irving. In his Inimitable “Knickerbocker’s His­ tory of New York," tells how Gover­ nor Stqyvesgnt.called upon Gov. Jan Rlslugii to surrender, hpw the pro­ posal.was scornfully rejected, and how the doughty .Dutcjh warriors, following thejtr ancient rule o f always fighting upon a full stomach-ate .a,mighty-din­ ner In preparing for the fray. Then, according to this historian, “ brimful o f wrath and cabbage,” they moved for­ ward to the attack, Just before reach­ ing the fort they paused, lighted their pipes, gave a furious puff and charged gallantly under the cover of the smoke. After an Homeric struggle, In which Governor Stuyvesnnt van­ quished Governor Rlsingh in single combat, the fort was carried by as­ sault without the loss of a single man on either side l Although, we cannot accept Irving’s story unreservedly, the assault on Fort Christina must have been something of an opera bonffe affair, unique in the annuls o f warfare. But the tri­ umph of the “Dutch was short-lived, for l,n 1604 the English took possession of all the Dutch •colonies in America and the British flag supplanted the Dutch banner oyer Fort Christlnn. To­ day no truce o f the fort remains, but nearby stands the little gray stone church, built lti 1698, the successor of the chapel In the fort where the Swedish colonists worshiped, as a re­ minder of the fort where once Dutch­ man and Swede fought In America.'

GREEN Editor o f “ H EAXT Il” ‘ T RAVELING on a limited train re­ cently, I went Into the diner for lunch. The conductor seated me at a small table, opposite a well-dressed, Intelligent-looking man of about thir­ ty-five. After giving my order, I sat looking around Idly. My table com­ panion was Intently reading a news­ paper. Suddenly the whole right side of his face was contracted In a spasm. Watching him closely, I saw that about every three minuteB the mu,scle$~of his face'Jerked, drawing his mouth, cheek and eye Into a grotesque grin. A middle-aged man, sitting across the aisle, also observed this peculiar performance. Following me Into- the smoking room after lunch, lie said: “I see you were watching thnt man across the table from you, What do you suppose is the matter with him?” I said: "He lias a tic.” "Well, I’ll be darned,” lie said, “I knew ticks gave cattle fever but I never heard that ticks made a man make faces.” Tics are not Insects. They are habit spasms. They are habitual, purpose­ less muscular acts which the person afflicted with them indulges in, regular­ ly and ofteh unconsciously. The name conies from the Gerrnun ticken, be­ cause the spasm comes with sitfch clock-like regularity. You have all known persons with tics. Perhaps you have one yourself, home are spasms of the face, twitch­ ing o f the nose, Jerking of the corners o f the mouth, winking or squinting of the eyes, frowning or raising the eye­ brows. Other facial tics are snufllng, making sucking or blowing noises With the lips, whistling, chuckling or crowing. Some people hnve so gotten into the habit that they are unable to begin any sentence without making some peculiar noise, jerking or sliak; ing the head, grinding the teeth and biting the lips belong in the safne group. The tic may take the form of shrugging the shoulders, scratching or stroking some part of the face with the hands or fingers. One well known and brilliant actor shows In alt his pictures, no matter In what part, a characteristic motion of touching Ids mustache with the knuckle of Ids right index finger, Some persons, In walking, must al­ ways step on a erflek In the pavement, others will as carefully avoid it. stammering apd stuttering are tics of speech. Bo ift the habit of beginning every sentence with “I say," “Listen " “Look here” and other exclamations. Tics nfe personal, habitual peculiar­ ities, They are the results of habits .formed usually in early childhood, sometimes through mimicking some older person. They ate most common­ ly found in nervous high-strung per­ sons. In adult life they are practical­ ly Incurable. Proper training and the develop­ ment of self-control In children will prevent their being hampered by these strange, useless, nnd often ridiculous habit spasms In later years, (&, 1911.
