cause OF the merrlment was apparent.

lures 3elng transformed into the aged
ana "eather-beaten face OF an ancient
mariner. The crowd roared again a the
reporter attempted 10 smile, nearly crack
ing his race open with the attempt, ana

As the fit was terribly tight
some OF the real hair came with it ana in
moment an indiscriminate "scrap" was
in progress. However, affairs were soon
cooled do"n and the "sluggers" were
carefully removed together with the eye

other character. A big WIZ of rough
tangled hair and side whiskers on an niron
spring passing around the back OF the
neck, with the addition of a pair of eye
glasses, completed this makeup,

FACTS TO REMEMBER.

POTASH fertilizers are better than mo.

fruit trees grow tall.
THE best time to set out evergrcens
is in the spring before they start to
grow.
The plow in an orchard will not hurt

good season.
In 4 majority Of cases an unnecessary
growth of wood is q waste of energy
with the tree.
ANY land that is rich enough to grow
. good crop of corn is rich enough to
grow a good crop of grapes.
one reason why many fail to make
forest trees grow is that the changes
in the condition of growth are too
much.
Be ready to spray all apple trees Is
soon as possible after blOoTaing time.
The Paris green mixture Is q good one
to use for this purpose.
OxE of the very best places for dump
ing coal ashes is around the fruit trees;
they not only act Is . mulch. but they
help to keep away insect pests.
THERE are few better remedies for
black rot than good culture and the
