The Time For Pruning.

Pruning may be done ut any time when
the trees are not in full leaf. Whether
it should be done in the fall, in open
weather during the winter. or in spring
depends upon the convenience of the
primer. Trees and vines that are only
half hardy should not be pruned so close
ly in the fall as would be proper in
spring. The cut is porous and admits
cold, which the closer bark of the tree
would exclude. Some prune apple trees
late in the spring in order to prevent sap
sprouts where the branches are cut out.
This practices Injuries the thrift of the
trees. but it may be advisable for young
orchards that grow too much wood and
do not bear fruit as they should. The
check which late spring pruning gives to
such trees induces the formation of fruit
buds, and the trees will bear the year
after. But the better way with most
trees, The American Cultivator thinks,
is to prune when the buds are dormant
and rub out the sprouts when they have
grown a few inches in spring. There is
less check to the tree in this way, but
enough to make it more productive than
it would otherwise be.

Sheep Jnterest.
STAY BY YOUR SHEEP.
IAmerican Wool and Cotton Reporter

tAmerican Wool and Cotton Reporter.I
Even though wool is low and large
number of sheep breeders throughout the
country are discouraged, and, frightened
by the Dugbear of free wool, are slaught-
ering their sheep, many practical ana
successful farmers, who have eXperlen-
ced the ups and downs of sheep breeding,
will still STAY by their flocks. There are
many sources of profit in breeding sheep,
but there are a number into which the
question of wool and mutton does not
enter and which are oftentimes scarcely
recognized. There is profit to the
farm, fol- it becomes cleaner ana more
productive. We have noticed that there
are but few weeds on sheep farms. Inc
study of the sheep will show that they
will eat Il greater variety of plants than
either cattle, horses, or pigs. 1t has been
tried with 500 plants, and it has been
found that, when offered, the sheep ate
rs per cent of them and the COW and the
horse 80 per cent. The power of sheep
TO clean farms aud live where other farm
live stock could not exist is due in
large measure to this. In breeding
mutton sheep there is second profit.
1t ia made on the homegrown foods that
are fed to them. Even though the
foods that are fed to fatlening sheep are
charged against them at good market
price, they yet yield very fair profit.
This is the best kind of home market.
The following paragraph from the ad-
dress of j. f. Tomlnson, president of
the Indiana Wool Growers association,
delivered at the annual meeting of that
body in indianapolis last week, is exact
" in accordance with our ideas; II
Take the average year and what
other live stock pays better than sheep!
Sheep furnish two proiits-the wool ana
the lambs; they require very little grain !;
they are excellent fertilizers; they carry
the fertility of the valleys and deposit it
on the uplands. Any farmer can afford
to keep small herd of sheep for the
sole benefit of killing off the weeds.
They are proof against the rigors of our
climate and their digestion is far more
perfect than that of any other domestic
animal. Let them he properly bred.
cared for and handled and they will al
ways he profit. high tariff or low
tariff"
The sheep will rally and the farmers
who have sold their herds will want to
buy, and, those who are now holding
their sheep will be soon supplying an
advanced market. Every farmer can
afford to keep small herd of sheep,
even if prices are low. The consump-
ton of mutton is on the increase in
the United States, and is doub-
ling each year. The American
farmer should supply this demand.
And this thought is emphasized by the
further statement of the butchers of the
large cities that they are compelled to
depend upon Canada, South America,
Ireland and Scotland for their best NUT
ton. Why cannot America, with all
her wealth of feeds, produce this high
priced meat? The farmers are to blame

The career of the man who raised s., 500-
OOO,0 600 for the United States government
during the trying times of the late war is
too well known to call for an elaborate BIZ
Ography here. When the war began, money
was urgently needed by the Federal forces,
and Secretary Chase deputized Mr. Cooke
TO secure the first loan of $50, 600 900 from a
syndicate of bankers. For several years he
continued to act rs the governments agent,
aud millions of bonds were turned over to
him to be sold. Secretary Fessenden, who
succeeded Secretary Chase, concluded to
get along without Mr.. Cookies aid and en-
deavored to raise money for the prosecution
of the war through the banks of the coun-
try. After several months of poor success
he called Mr. Cooke to his aid, telling him
that he had just been in New York to sell
ST., 100000 in bonds, but could not get an
offer. Mr.. Cooke took the entire $4,000
900 on the spot, appOrtioned the bonds
among his friends and shortly after raised
$50, O00, 900 more for the government in the
same manner.
Mr.. Cooke lost everything in the crash OF
1873, which his failure precipitated, but aft
erward paid dollar for dollar. He was also
prominently identified with the building OF
the Northern Pacific railroad.

should the combs be destroyed, the hives

How Jay Cooke, the World Famous FL
nancier, Is Ending His Days.
Jay Cooke, the great fnancier who was
so instrumental in furnishing the snews
of war to the United States forces during
the late unpleasantness between the north
and south, is happily passing the evening
of his life at Ogontz, his suburban home
near Philadelphia. He is 70 years of age
but is Il remarkably young patriarch. He
is still straight as the proverbial arrow
He is in excellent health. Time has made
even more mellow his genial temperament
and as his bank account has long since re
covered from the storm of financial disas
ter that depleted it in the panic of 1873 the
sunset of life finds him healthy, wealthy
and wise.
Although he owns a 200 acre estate al
OgontZ and mansion there that cost $500,
600, and although he possesses real estate il
other cities, railroad property in Texas ant
a controlling interest in the st. Louis Rive
Water Power company, it is safe to say
that he thinks more of his four children
and his 10 graz d ldren than he does of ~
his goods and o.,...tels Sixteen grandchil

Let There he Straight Lines and Regular
ity In the Vegetable Garden.
While admire the hit or miss style of
nature in landscape gardening and the
easy abandon and grace of irregularity
in ornamental planting, believe in IRON
clad regularity in the vegetable garden
and can see great deal of beauty in the
straight lines and the uniform distances
which l always try to establish in my
onion or carrot beds, etc. Every devil
alton from the straight path, no matter
how small offends my eye. If you aim
for garden of beauty and attractive
appearance, start in with straight lines
and regularity throughout. A good
marker indeed is the key to success in
this task. Thus writes a correspondent
in American Gardening. He adds:
The ordinary, old style garden mark
ers, which are calculated to be drawn
horse fashion, have never satisfied me.
They either require the work of two per-
sons, one to pull the marker and the 9th

kind alone to walk backward. What we
