ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Always select trees with a smooth,
healthy looking bark.
The time to shape the heads of trees
is while they are growing.
Use the suds from the wash tubs as
fertilizer in the orchard.
Cut out all of the old canes from
among the raspberries now
Proper thinning of the fruit gives it
better opportunity to develop.
Use hardwood ashes literally among
the small fruits and in the garden.
Now is a good time to check growth
by pinching back the terminal buds.
All wood that is more than two years
old should be cut out of the gooseber-
ries.
Sort all fruit to be sent to market
carefully, and in this way increase it's
value.
Prune out all useless shoots in Young
fruit trees before the growth is com
pleted.
Before setting out strawberry plants
De sure that the soil is worked into a
fine filth.
Late cultivation is often detrimental
by not allowing time for the new wood
to ripen.
One objection to too low training in
the orchard is that it intereferes with
the cultivation.
Good growth now practically deter
| mines the value of bearing canes and
| vines next season.
| A good mulch properly applied keeps
down weeds and renders the soil loose
moist and porous.
When fruit is thinned the parent plant
is exhausted far less than when all is
allowed to remain.
! Every farm should have an orchard
for home use, proportional to the ne
cessities of the family.
One advantage in selecting reason
| ably dry soil for an orchard is that it
permits of deeper setting
The safest way to get rid of orange
rust in raspberries is to dig out every
affected plant and burn it.
Small and inferior berries are often
the result OF letting the vine get too
thickly matted in the rows.
1t fruit trees are kept carefully
trimmed from the beginning they may
easily be given the desired form.
The orchard can be made to serve two
purposes-the production of fruit and
as range and feeding ground for poul-
| try.
Apples should be picked as soon as
ripe. II there is delay the apples will

The additional expense will be less than

BROAD TIRES NEEDED.
ihey Mean n Great Saving, Both of
Labor and Money!

They Mean Great Saving. Both Of
Labor and Money.
Ihe movement in favor of good roads
winch has at last really begun to agi-
tate rural communities all over the
country involves many contributors is
sues of considerable Importance. For
instance, associations which have un-
dertaken the task of improving the
country roads are generally advising
farmers to make use of broad tires
upon their wagon wheels, instead of
the narrow tires which cut and rut a.
soft road so deeply.
1t is not easy to induce the farmers
to follow this advice, because it i'm
plies and requires at the outset the re-
pairing of the road. Broad-tired wag-
ons could make little or no progress
over some of the muddy and rough
roads which are too often found not far
from the busiest and most thriving
cities. Narrow wheels cut their way
through more easily, but only at the
cost of exhausting the horses which
draw the wagon, and of still further in
juring the road as thoroughfare.
If the highway could but be improved
sufficiently to bear the heavy tires, the
wheels would act like miniature road
roller and assist in keeping the road in
good condition instead of tearing it to
pieces.
AS an immediate result, access to
markets would be made much more
easy, draught animals would gain in ef-
ficiency and length of service, and it
would be possible to transport larger
leads with greater ease and conven-
fence than is the case at present.
The farmers and the rural commune
ties which they control hesitate to take
the first step because of the immediate
expense involved. It ought not to be
hard to convince so intelligent portion
of the community that real economy,
both of labor and money, would be-
gained by improved roadbeds and the
use of broader tires.-Youth's Com

CONFESSION. AND ABsOLUTION

CONFESSION. AND ABSOLUTION.
Protheroe tried to make himself be-
ieve that he should not have allowed
Philip to persuade him to go back to
Duncan's after the recording of the
mortgage. BE argued that it would be
better on all accounts if he should drop
quietly out Of the small melodrama
in which he had at the first figured
only as supernumerary. The resolu-
ton hung in the balance while he wait
cd at the courthouse for Thorndyke,
and it was the thought that he still
owed Elsie some indefinite debt of apol-
ogy and explanation that finally turned
the scale in the direction Of Philips urg-
ings. On the way up the valley he tried

to the end that he might be able to wit
ness Philips triumph with some out

this easier than he had anticipated
While Thorndyke was deservedly
the hero of the day, the re-
joicing in the Duncan household was
sincere enough to be infectious; and
before he knew it, Protheroe was ex-
tolling Philips courage and persever-
ance quite as honestly as any of the
others.
When the excitement had a little sub

COWS AT PASTURE.
1t Pays to Feed Them Corn with the
Grass They Eat.

1t Pays to Feed Them Corn with the
Grass They Eat.
There is no question that in the ma
jority of cases it pays to feed something
extra to cows that are al pasture, and if
the pasture is somewhat scant there
is no question but that it pays in every
case. But it is often a question what
to feed. If we are so fortunate or rather
so provident as to have a supply of some
crop sown for the purpose then we are
all right, but if not then oftentimes we
are at loss. And while if feed has to be
bought corn would seldom be the cheap
est feed, yet there is no better place to
feed mich COW corn than in the pas
ture field.
For corn is one of the most car
bonaceous feeds that is grown on the
farm, and to compound a winter ration
with corn as basis and cornfodder as
second is a task that cannot be done
with any degree of satisfaction unless
liberal supply of linseed meal or some
other feed rich in protein is purchased.
But with pasture as basis the aspect
is completely changed. For while corn
and cornfodder has a nutritive ratio
of about one to fifteen, pasture grass
has nutritive ratio of one to five. 1t
can be easily seen then that liberal
feed of corn may be given to cows at
pasture, and still the ration will have
a proper ratio. This is all have to say
about it. If you have any corn in the
corn house soak it "a hours in water and
take it out to the cows and see what
they have to say few days later In
the milk pail.-National Stockman.
