TO n delicate infant is to lay small

wrap it around the child before lifting

should have on a large toweling apron
in which to wrap the baby, wet
blanket and all. The head can then
be dried and the upper extrenities,

Put on Il warm shirt slip off the wet
apron. and wrap the little one in

We have never found better way to
judge OF the bearing Of young fruit
trees. and to decide whether they are
beariGg TOO little or too much, says the
Albany Gu tivator, than To observe the
length of the annual shoots. The
Treatment is then TO be given in ac-
cordin with the result Of this exam
ination. II tn growth is slow. mel
low culture or fertilizers will be neces-
sary. IT,, rs generally happens. slow
growers bear too much, thin out most
or all the fruit when small. which will
aid in giving the trees more vigor. and
what little fru there Is will he worth
more tn n the numerous small and
scr bly, specimens. Small growth and
too muck smrll fruit go together. and
thrifty growth furnishes few large
and fine ones. IL the annual shoots
are not oser foot long in the early
years Of the fruit trees, more vigor
must be given them. Nothing is
better ii an top dressing with barn
manure late In autumn or early In
winter.

The Japanese Flower Game.

An exchange thus describes the flow
er petal game: 1t is of japanese origin.
rs believe very many of our cleverest
gaises are. Upon large sheet of pa
per human face is traced. Lots are
then drawn. in order to decide who is
TO be blindfolded first. If ono of the
little maidens of the party is chosen
she hides her pretty orbs behind big
handkerchief and tries her luck. The
children hand her leaf Of Il bright
hupd peonv. This she tries to place
on the mouth of the picture. OF course
II is only once in dozen times that
she hits the mark. All sorts OF ludi-
crous mistakes occur. senuing the little
ones off IN wild bursts of childish glee.
Delicateiy tinted rose leaves are sup
posed to supply the two nostrils; the
pink petals of the gloxinia for the eyes,
and for the hair number of the vel
low leaves of the gourd plant As YOU
may imagine wonderful picture is the
result of these efforts and one cacL-
lated to furnish an immese amount Of
fun. Whoever comes nearest to real
lv artistic picture gets a pretty prize.
Sometimes it takes the form of little
straw basket filled with delicious bon

Cattle Hopes Lie in Good Cattle.

More plainly and still more plainly
from week TO week is demonstrated
the fact that the great runs OF cattle
in the west and elsewhere are pressing
more hardly upon evey branch of the
cattle business than the ripening Of
choice beeves. The men who are put
ting first class cattle on the markets,
while not receiving the prices of a
few months ago, are getting so near
them that they feel to only limited
extent the pressure OF the heavy runs.
1t has always been point urged by
the stockman, that beef production il
it paid ut all must pay best almost
only where conducted with an eye to
supplying the demand for the highest
quality of meats. We hope that pro-
gressive beef m kers when they read
those columns will take this repeated
lesson TO heart, and decide either to
be in competition with the best or to
do something else. We see no
special hope in the future for the pro-
ducer Of inferior beef. while the man
who puts his brain int studying the
matter OF furnishing prime beef to
first clasi markets is as much as al
most any other agricultural producer
likely to be paid for what he does. -
