In dealing recently with an analysis OF

fact that the silica resulting from the de-

Up TO a certain point Mr.. Felix Lucas

PRUNING rR rEs.

Alter the ground is we'll prepared by
deep blowing let the holes be dug broad
and deep and then filed up with good sur
face soil, so that when the tree is set it
will stand just as deep as It grew in the
nursery. Such trees should be selected
as will bear to be cut back to within two
or three feet of the ground, so that tAe
low heads may be formed. The long,
spindling trees, pruned up to six or eight
feet in the nursey, are not fit to plant in
any situation. If the trees are trained
low IN the nursery, cut back the leading
branch and thin out the side branches to
a suitable number to form a clear open
head, and then shorten the side shoots to
three or four buds OF last seasons
growth. All subsequent pruning should
be done during the season of growth; at
any time when 1t is discovered that any
branch is coming FORTH where it is not
needed, or Of making an undue growth
and likely to destroy the balance of the
head, 1t should be pinched back so as to
allow the Others to come up with it. This
kind OF pruning affords recreation and
pleasant employment for leisure hour at
any time when it can be spared from 9th
er duties. In this way tree may be
made to assume any form desired. A
regular systematic pruning, such as some
men practice, of cutting of the branches
Of growth of q year or two, should new
er be thought Of. Let the pruning be per-
petual and every uDneeded branch nipped
in the bud, or as soon as it is discovered
out OF place. An occasional hour en-
ployed in this way will keep an orchard
always in order, and no unsightly ''water
sprouts" will ever be seen to tax the ener-
gies of the tree and throw it out of
shane.

One Cow.

Every family in the land should have at
least one mich cow. A COW will pay on d
3-acre farm, will pay anywhere in tact
where roots, clover, or grass enough for
her can be grown on the premisis. A
COW in good health and condition, kept
with care and cleanliness, kindly treated
and petted. is family store house, sup
plying food of the best quality and most
acceptable form. One COW, even an Or
binary native that could be purchased for
$40 or 500, handled with care and kindli-
ness, and fed as common sense would die
tate, will yield, on an average the year
through from one and half to two gal
Ions Of milk day. Even were the yield
but one gallon a day, it would pay for all
the care and keep and be a great boon to
the family. At only l0c. a gallon for the
milk that would be $50 80 a year. We
have paid 10c. quart for milk Two
such COWS would supply all the milk and
butter the largest family would care to
consume, and two such COWS would be
worth $50 year in the family expenses,
would save that amount, if need be, in
other provisions, as bacon, lard and flonr.
Milk and common bread is good enough

nouncement has received the almost uni

the male portion of the race. 1t may be
that some are discouraged by frequent
failures-that is, those who failed to
marry those they wished. To the, male
sex this would seem to apply, as it is
supposed that the men only do the court
ing. But close observer will sometimes
admit that the ladies take part in it. /

of over three. score years how old a lady
would become before she would relin.
quish the idea of marriage, and the an
swer was: "My son, go ask some one
older than l." People will marry. It is
necessary that they should. But they
should love first. Those who write OF
love generally treat the subject with too
much leyity, and associate it with soft
glances, moonlight walks and poetry.
Love and poetry go hand in hand some
times, but poetry is generally left-lett
away in the background. The young
man, when he first gets in love, is poet
in his own conceit. The girl does not
get that way. She has practical idea
Of love, and whether or not she recipro-
Gates the passion of the young fellow
who is letting out his soul to her, she
will knock all the poetry out of him on
