| enough to attend. A few would come to
one or two meetings, but finding scarcely
any ladies present, they became dis
couraged and stayed away. In the later
Institutes, especially Ia the frontier
towns, the ladies seem as much interested
as any one. A prominent place Is given
them on the programme, and they join In
discussion with earnestness and good
sense.
This is as it should be. One of the
Institute workers aptly remarked that
s'the children are, after all, about the
best crop we raise" and it is quite as
fitting that paper on "Home Training
be fully discussed as that we talk of the
kinds of wheat to SOW; and the mother Is
fully awake to the best thoughts that can
be given on ways to make of her boy a
thoroughly good manly citizen, or OF her
girl the noble true woman she designs
her to be. And not only in the home
circle proper does the woman OF the
frontier town have an interest. An able
and pleasant paper read not long ago on
"Weeds and Fences gave good evidence
that a woman knew and thought much
on even such things; and woman's plan
for caring for her ranch, during the nee
essary absence of her husband for
months at a time, proved conclusively
that not only are the farmers interested
and benefited, but the farmers wives
have fully as keen interest in the ex-
change of ideas for the improvement of
all the possessions, whether out of doors
or in. The farmers institute is for the
whole family, and it is pleasant thought
that the whole family can enjoy and ap-
preciate it.

would be worthy of serious consideration
Of parents if it were possible for any one
to be other than wildly mirthful over the
saintlinesses and dreadfulnesses of the
little hero. Tommy is an ideal boy-one
of the kind which are by turns unendur-

from young to old, and from old to

pity parents who fail to read this book;
there is no time in the day, nor any day

age of the trees. From observation and
experiepce, we know that a very small
per cent, OF the loss OF trees properly
handled, planted and cultivated has been
the result of our past dry seasons. We
do not have to travel far for the discovery
that the principal enemies of our Or
chards have been weeds, borers, rabbits
and free range of stock. Any one OF
these is fatal to success; combined, what
would the showing be? Remedies for
the first and last are known to everyone.
The eggs from which the borer is hatch
ed are deposited in the month OF June at
the base of the tree, and it the trunk is
washed two or three times during this
month with strong solution OF concen-
trated lye or csrbolc acid, all the eggs
will be destroyed; II not, they will
soon hatch, and the young will COM
1mence operations between the bark and
wood of the tree, often working to the
branches, and completely girdling it.
After it has got in its work of destruction,
and as winter approaches, it makes its
way to the heart of the tree. It requires
close observation to detect them in the
early stages OF their work, as no powder
dust is thrown from the tree. Among
the several remedies suggested as a pre-
ventative against the working of the
rabbit, none is mors effective than rub
bling the trees with any kind of fresh
bloody meat. Going over the apple or
lchard two or three times during the
winter will be sufficient
Orchardists do pot always agree as to
the distance apart apple trees should be
planted, varying from twenty feet apart
TO thirty-three. IT is well-known that
come varieties OF the spreading kind re-
ouire moro space than the upright
growers. Trees are usually planted in
souares where economy of space is an
object It is a good plan to plant five in
SQUARE. Some have advocated wide
