Renovating Fruit Trees.

An incident which occurred some
years ago in my garden says a writer
IN the American Garden, taught me
an easy way to infuse new life and
vigor into young trees of sluggish
growth. A cat was accustomed to
scratch on the body of a small pear
tree, and before | was aware of it the
entire bark around the tree for about
a foot up was dry and dead. Consid-
erlng the chances for the trees survi-
val very small at best, | sawed off the
stem just below the lacerated bark.
This was done about the middle OF
May, and the ground was thickly Gov
cred with grating wax The first sea
son a new stem ofover ) feet grew from
the stump, and four years afterward
the tree had reached double the size
and bore twice the amount of the fruit
OF any of the other trees planted at
the same time in the same field.
Protiting by this experience, | have
since that time never hesitated to saw
off every limb from bark bound and
crooked branched, unsatisfactory and
slow-growing trees. New sprouts will
start at once, the trees will regain new
life, grow luXuriantly, and eventually
form large, symmetrical tops. OF
course where there is a deficiency in
the soil, or where standing water set
ties around the roots, neither replat-
ing nor pruning can do any good be
fore the fundamental causes are re-
moved

The San Diego Ostrich Farm


a few remarks concerning ostrich
farming may at this juncture of affairs
prove interesting. 1t is certain that
but few persons outside of this section
of the county are aware that such an
industry exists, while the general con-
ception of an ostrich is as absurd as
incorrect. No greater tribute could
be paid to the Incompatible climate
of Southern California than the re.
moval of these birds from their ma
tive state with so comparatively tri-
fling a loss, while the four or five little
strangers are very satisfactory evil
dence of the cOngenlality OF the eli
mate and the unCeasing care and at
tention bestowed upon the parent
birds by Mr.. Johnson, the superin-
tendent.
The grounds of the American Os-
trich Company are delightfully."- situa-
ted in a small valley sufficiently re-
mote to secure all possible seclusiOn
to the birds. Far from being timid
creatures, burying their heads
in the sand in the foolish man
ner ascribed to them at the
approach of danger, they show
great excitement at the presence of
strangers, the males advancing with
flashing eyes and wings detiantly
projecting upward and ready APP
parently to battle to the death.
it becomes, therefore, a mat
ter OF no small Importance to
protect them from all undue excite
ment, feed them with regularity by
one well known to them, study their
idiosyncrasies, OF which there are
many, and only ask in return that
they obey the divine mandate to I'm
crease and multiply"
1t is premature to predict either u /
mate success or failure for an expert
ment which time alone can demon
strate, but the friends of all laudable
endeavor, be what it may, will rejoice
to learn that under existing cOndl-
lions the former has become an al
most assured fact. Mr.. Johnson has
a large tract ofland under cultivation,
which is doubtless as pleasing to the
eve of the ostrich as to that OF man,
for thereon can be seen in full lux
uriance of growth such things as they
both love well, viz: corn, beans, beets,
onions, cabbage. melons, etc, ad mi

COLD rain water and soap will take

would not be advisable on account of

COARSE salt is said by a distinguished
medical authority to be effective as a
means OF deOdOrizing sewer gas.
An agreeable flavor is sometimes
impaired to soup by sticking some
cloves into the meat used for making
stocks.

SOME one has said that eggs may be
kept fresh through the warm weather
by putting a few into a cOlander and
pouring boiling water over them. The
water runs out, but the heat cooks a
thin layer OF the white sufficiently to
make the shell air-tight.
SPICED cherries to eat with meat are
a good relish. Make a syrup Of one
pint of white sugar and one pint of
water for each quart of cherries, add
spice to suit the taste; when boiling
add the cherries; cook half an hour;
seal when cold. Fully ripe, perfect
fruit must be selected, ana the stones
lett in to give it a lively flavor.
MILAN cakes are nice for tea. Half
pound OF sifted flour, a quarter OF a
pound of butter, six ounces OF sugar,
two tablespoonfuls OF thick, sour
cream and one egg. Mix a paste of
these ingredients, roll it out and cut
it in diamond-shaped pieces; glaze with
egg and bake in hot oven; when cold
place a bit of Jam or Jelly in the center
of each and serve.

Cheating RpeS
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press
A Wayne County farmer has sue
ceeded IN earning a place in history
along with the Connecticut man who
invented wooden nutmegs. He lives
between Detroit and Dearborn, on
Michigan Avenue, in a vine-covered
cottage back a little way from the
road. On the front fence appears the
sign, white Clover Honey" Back OF
the house is an apiary with all the
modern inventions for the care of bees.
and nearly fifty hives sound with the
cheerful humming OF the busy honey
makers.
A representative OF the Free Press
quite by accident called at the house
yesterday and found no one at home.
and while sitting by an old well curb
refreshing himself with cool water from
anold oaken bucket his attention was
called to the action of the bees. The
cottage is surrounded with luxuriant
roses in full bloom, but these bees did
not as bees used to do
Gather honey all the day
From every opening flower
but instead were Swarming around a
large tray which stood near bv and
were flying back and forth to the
hives. In this tray was half an inch
OF a sticky mass that looked like
syrup. Little sticks were strewn over
this substance and on these the bees
were alighting and after taking some
OF the syrup flew back TO the hives.
What do you want OF them bees -
The intruder started up and found a
barefooted lad standing before him.
What Is this the bees are taking? -
asked the visitor.
What do you want to know for ?
Dad SAID We wasn't to tell any one
anything about it."

Such a compressed mass of fbrOuS,
moist matter will heat. How far the
| heat will go toward generating a com
bustlon may be inferred from foolish
trick which the writer witnessed sever
| al years ago.
A large meadow of hay had been
| cut, cured and cooked, previous to re-
moval. A shower threatening, the
cocks were covered with caps of can
vas and left for the night. While get
ting the hay in, the next day, one of the
workmen dropped an unlighted match
into a cock of hay, and in few min
utes it was ablaze. 1t afterward was
ascertained that he had spoken of the
warmth of the hay as he lifted it on a
fork, when a companion remarked
1T might be hot enough to light "a
match, on which he put a match into
rick, and before they had passed on
five minutes the rick was on fire.
Everybody conversant with farm
lie, where hay is permanent and i'm
portant crop, knows that for weeks
after getting in the hay, the barn is
warm when the doors are opened in
the morning. There is an amount of
heat that is absolutely unpleasant
when the thermometer outside regis
tiers sixty degrees, but which is quite
welcome with the outside temperature
at forty degrees. This barn heat is
undoubtedly from the moist hay,
compacted and inclosed. The cure for
the possible spontaneous barn burn
ing would seem to be the thorough
curlng-drying-of the hay before it is
housed. We dry all our herbs and
some OF our vegetables without iniur-
ing their peculiar and individual quail
tiles. There is no reason why hay or
other fodder material stored in large
masses should not be rendered equally
innOXious to the influence of heat by
thorough drying.-GettysbUrg Com
