BURIED ORCHARDS.
Peach Trees That Are Turned Under
Ground to Escape Frost.
The burying of entire peach or
chards for protection against late
spring frosts is a common practice
in the intermountain valleys of
eastern Colorado. In areas where
not more than one full crop in seven
or eight years has been previously
harvested annual yields are now
to be counted on. A net return of
$25 from each peach tree is not un
common.
Irrigation facilitates the task of
burying the trees. Just before a
hard freeze is due in the late fall
the Colorado orchardist digs a
trench to each poach tree which
he expects to “lay down” and turns
on the water, allowing it to run
until the soil about the roots is
thoroughly soaked. lie then can
undermine the trees and bend them
down with little difficulty. They
are held to the ground by a heavy
I plank or by ropes until a covering
i of hay is spread over them and a
; layer of dirt shoveled 'on top of
that. Two inches of dirt have been
found sufficient protection in 30
below zero weather.
Orchards are left prostrate and
covered until the last bit of danger
from frost in the spring has passed.
In the higher localities this danger
period is not before the 10th of
.May. When the hay and dirt are
finally removed a mass of pink
bloom greets the *»rehardist. lie
will tell you it is the prettiest sight
in the world. Sometimes, if the
season ho late, tiny peaches will
show their green heads among the
pink blossoms.
After raising the tree a brace is
applied and left against the trunk
through the summer. An orchard
of trees all propped in this manner,
their branches all leaning one way
and showing more foliage and fruit
on one side than on the other, pre
sents a novel picture to the Colo
rado tourist.
I have been told that peach or
chards subjected to this burying
treatment were short li.ved. Last
season 1 saw one weighted down
with big, luscious peaches. It had
been buried for ten successive win
ters and had yielded six full crops.

Si. Kildn State Affairs.
One feature of St. Kiidan life
would have appealed strongly to
Dr. .Johnson if lie had curried out
his intention' of spending a winter
on the island. "The men of St.
Ivilda." writes .John Sands, "are in
the habit of congregating in front
[of one of the houses almost every
morning for the discussion of busi
ness. 1 called this assembly the
parliament, and, with a laugh, they
adopted the name. When the sub
ject is exciting they talk with loud
voices and all at one time, hut
when the question is once settled
they work together in perfect har
mony. Shall we go to catch solan
geese or ling or mend the boat to
day? Such are some examples of
the questions that occupy the house.
Sometimes disputes are settled by
drawing lots."—London Chronicle.
Personality of Typewriters.
Two men changing typewriters or
motorcars are, though more subtly,
like two men changing boots. Sew
| ing machines, pianos and fiddles
grow Intimate with the people who
I use them, and they come to express
those particular people and the
ways in which they are different
from others. A brown eyed type
writer makes her machine move dif
ferently every day from a Id lie eyed
one. Typewriting machines never
like to have their people lake the
liberty of lending them. Steel bars
and wooden levers all have little
ilianncrisms, little expressions, small
souls of their own, habits of people
that they have lived with, which
have grasped the little wood and
iron levers of their wills and made
them what they are.—Atlantic.
His Reminder.
“My husband lias a clever idea
for reminding me of little things
that 1 am to do while he is away
during the day,” said a'woman who
lives in Harlem. “Last week a rela
tive came on a visit and I was to
meet her at the-station at half past
10 in the morning. At 10 o’clock
the alarm clock rang in the parlor,
and when I went in to shut it off I
found a note lying beside it which
reminded me- of my engagement.
I am sure that I would have for
gotten it otherwise.”—New York
Sun.
Open Windows For Invalids.
If the sleeper be ill or fragile or
very old the room can be ventilated
by placing a board five or six inches
deep and about ap inch thick to
fit across the bottom of the window.
Then shut the lower sash down on
this board, leaving the upper sash
closed. This method allows a shaft
of air to pass up between the two
sashes and so to the ceiling, whence
it sprays evenly all over the room.
