some Hints About Pruning.

Intelligent horticulturists have al,
most given up trying to educate the
public to put away the Ratchet, saw,
shears and to a great extent the prup-
ing knife, and to do all with the finger
and thumb in May and June. In the old
world this knowledge is more diffused
Writing of orange culture in Italy, one
of our eonsuls says that there the OBJ
ject aimed at in pruning is to bring the
greatest surface of the tree possible tc
the direct action of air and light. The
spherical form is considered best. Tc
keep this form. shoots are pinched of
in June each year. In the early spring
weak and dead wood, and forgotten use.
less shoots, are cut out to let the light
and air in among the branches; sharp
knife must be used.-W estern Plcwman

THE FARMING WORLD.
ORCHARD PARASITES.
Valuable Discovery to Fruit GrowerA
RenorteH from NIissouri.

valuable Discovery to Fruit Growers
Reported from Missouri.
The Missouri experiment station has
made extensive experiments with differ
eut methods Of killing the wooliy aphis
or apple root plant louise, regarded as
one OF the worst, f not the worst, enemy
to the apple orchards of the southern
half OF Missouri.
The following is a brief summary OF
the discoveries made:
The limb form of this insect can be
readily killed by one or two thorough
sprayings with strong kerosene emui-
sion. Apple seedlings, buds, and gratis
should be planted in a small trench
filed with finely-Powdered tobacco or
tobacco dust and lightly covered with
earth. This viii keep the woolly aphis
away. Apple nursery stock should have
a liberal supply of tobacco dust applied
to the roots every spring. in order to
kill the woolIy aphis and prevent it
from establishing itself there. II should
be applied by removing some of the
earth from around the roots, filling the
excavation with tobacco dust, and light
" covering il with earth. Newly cleared
timber land should be cultivated in corn
or other crop for two years before the
apple trees are set out, in order to kill
the wOOlly aPhis that may be on the
roots of the wild crab and allied trees.
Apple nursery stock should have the
roots cleaned and dipped for q minute
in strong kerosene emulsion, in order to
kill the woody aphis that may be there.
In planting apple trees tobacco dust
should be freely used among and over
all the roots, and close around the
trunk, in order to kill and prevent the
wcOlly aPhis from establishing itself
there. Every spring. as soon as settled
warm weather appears, each tree should
have a liberal supply of tobacco dust
applied to its roots by removing the
earth from around the trunk for dis
tance of two feet and four inches in
depth, evenly filling this with the tobac-
co dust and covering it with earth. The
root form of the woolly aphis may be
cheaply and easily killed and kept away
from an apple tree by the liberal use of
tobacco dust. About five or six pounds
of this substance should be applied as
above directed to the roots of every in
tested tree, and one-half this amount
SHOULD be applied in a similar manner
each succeeding spring. costing approx
imately two cents per tree per year.

CALVES FOR THE DAIRY.
L. A. Keere Tells How He Raised Prof.
liable Animals.

L. A. Keene Tells How He RAISED PROF
liable Animals.
Our method of raising calves intended
for work in the dairy herd commences
with the breeding. We aim to get q good
roomy animal and depend more on
transmission than upon any special care
In raising. But we take good care OF
the young things, for on this depends
largely the future usefulness of the
dairy cow Care is taken that the pens
are kept clean and well bedded, and sun
light, bright hay and clean water are
supplied.
The calves are usually weaned from
their dams VIXEN five days old; they
learn to drink readily at that age. They
are then fed On new or whole milk for
al least one month, from which they
are changed onto skinned milk. They
are taught TO eat oatmeal at very early
age and they are given all the oats they
viii clean up with little oil-meal added.
All three months old and afterward they
are given small allowance of corn in
addition to the oat ration. Thus they
are fed during the first year.
l want them in good growing condi-
ton, but they must not get excessively
fat, for bone, muscle and good consti-
tuition, coupled with good strong diges-
ton, are what is wanted in the dairy
COW. We are now growing machine
into which we can safely feed our corn
and oats and have it converted into milk
and butter. During the winter of the
second year, having made good growth.
these young heifers are fed all the
bright hay they will eat with two or
three quarts of cut ear corn. Usually
we have sweet corn.
They are bred to drop their first
calves at IS to 30 months old. These
young cows are stabbed by themselves
and carefully handled-in fact, the
dairy cows should all be pet cows-and
we find them ever ready to convert lib
eral quantities of feed into rich milk.
We keep well in mind the fact that they
must now be fed so as to make good
growth as we'll as good butter.-Dakota

Valuable Food Plant.

A new and valuable plant known as
the Chinese artichoke, introduced from
Japan. is claimed TO be fully equal to
the potato as food and yields twice as
many bushels per acre. Unlike the tall
artichoke so well known, this grows 10
the height of about u inches, the tuEers
being formed like fOJa- or five round
radishes growing together. Chemical
analyses show them TO be more nitro
genous than the potato; they require nc
peeling. as the skin is very thin, and
they also keep well in winter. 1t is said
that single plant has been known to
produce eco tubers, and the crop yields
500 bushels per acre. Its botanical name
is "Stachys Tuberifera," and it win be
more closely investigated this year. It
can be cooked in as many ways as the
potato.

FOR LIFTING HAY RHcKs.

of six posts firmly set in the ground
with two pieces of two by eight lumber
about two feet longer than the hay rack.
The crosspieces of the rack must be
fastened very firmly to hold the
weight of the body as the pieces slip on
the longitudinal bars. When the con-
trivance is to be used, the top of the
bars should be CREASED. When the rack
is to be taken off, team is driven
through the roadway at a a. The posts
are just high enough to catch the cross
pieces of the rack and. as the team pro-
ceeds the rack will be lifted until it is all
safely landed on the frame. Provision
must be made not to have the body of
the rack fit the holsters of the wagon too
tightly, so that there may be no danger
of breaking in taking it off. In putting
the rack on again, the wagon is backed
into the roadway from b b until the end
of the wagon is under the back end OF
the rack. then tie the rack to the bolster,
back again and the rack is on.-Amer'

THE PALMETTO ASPARAGUS.

The deeper the soil and the greater
abundance of manure that is used the
greater will be the crop. Until the Pal
Inetto was brought out, COnover's Col
Ossal was the leading sort, and justly
so; but Palmetto is not only much
earlier, but is also a better yielder and
is more even and regular in its growth,
and must eventually supplant the old
favorite. Average punches, containing
Is shoots, measure ID inches round and
weigh about two pounds. The Pal
metto has now been planted in all parts
of the country and appears to be eqNally

a BIT OF HISTORY.
GermantoTn, Pa. Was Once the Cap
Itnl of the Country.

Germantown, Pa. Was Once the Cap
ItnI of the Country.
A pupil in the boys grammar school,
on Lafayette street, Germantown, was
asked by his teacher recently when the
first congress occupied the Germantown
academy, located on West School lane?"
1t was puzzle, of course, to the young
scholar, who was at a loss to find any
thing in print verifying such an event.
The facts, however, from which the
false impression has frequently OBJ
tanned are as follows: The government
of the United States was first inaugu-
rated in New York in 1859, but by act of
congress Philadelphia was made the
capital of the nation from 1890 to 1900.
In 1898 the yellow fever became cpl
demic in this city, and it was in October
CT that year that the governor of Penn
sylvania asked the board of trustees to
accommodate the house of assembly,
and a similar request for quarters came
from congress. At the November meet
ing following, the board proffered to
congress the choice of the school build
ings, but there is no minute evidence
to show that congress accepted the
generous offer. At this time Washing
ton resided in Germantown, and the
town was spoken of as the government
place of the state, and also of the United
States. jefferson, then secretary of
state, and Randolph, attorney general,
occupied the building some years ago
torn down to extend the site on which
che nationa. bank now stands at Main
street and School lane. So, with Wash
ington, Thomas Jefferson and John
Randolph residing in Germantown. it is
not strange that the conclusion should
be formed that congress was in session
Mt the same time. Although the Ger
mantown academy never had the honor
OF accommodating congress, few years
later, in 1T9s, when the yellow fever
made its appearance again in this city,
the Bank of North America and the
Bank of Pennsylvania did find tenn
porary place of safety in the old acad-
emy.-Philadelphia Record.

BITS OF PHILOSOPHY.

IF man has kin it is equivalent to
having troubles.
There are so many more mean men
than good that good man is always
under suspicion.
People rush around on Monday as
though they were ashamed of having
been idle on Sunday.
Very few men are as confident in
making assertions in their wives pres
ence as when they are absent.
Whenever two women get together
and there is man in an adjoining room
they soon begin to whisper.
The really sincere women are those
whose prayers at night in a cold room
are never abbreviated by the condition
of the thermometer. - Washington

The Hungarian Housekeeper.

The mistress of large household il.
Hungary has need to be very capable
housewife, for she is numbered with
many cares. She must boil her own
soap, mold her own candles, dry her
own prunes, prepare her own candied
fruits, smoke her own sausages, cure
her own hams, bottle her own COM
potes, make her own vinegar. store her
own fruits and vegetables, butter and
cheese for winter use, grind her own
maize for culinary purposes, grow her
OWE wine, act as her own butcher and
Poulterer, laundress and seamstress.
The eye of the mistress must be every
where. even though she invariably has q
housekeeper under her. Servants get
much smaller wages, work harder and
live less comfortably but they are very
independent. - Napderings in Hun.

ROADS IN ENGLAND.
How They Are Kept in Repair All the
Year Around.

How They Are hept in Repair AL tine
Year Around.
English roads are good because they
are well built and we'll cared for, is the
conclusion arrived at by writer who
has been investigating the subject. Ho
says that they are the finest anywhere
in the world. Some of the highways
leading out of Bath were made by the
Romans, and all of the other highways
are of scientific construction, with deep
foundations and ample provisions for
draining. Besides, they receive constant
supervision and care. Every county
council has a standing committee OF
roads, which takes charge of the high
ways and keeps them in repair. The
committee is divided into sub-commit-
tees, each of which is assigned dis
trict.
There is an inspector for each divis-
ion, who employs a force of road mend
ers and holds each responsible for the
portion of road assigned to him. The
road member lives in cottage on the
line of the higway, which he is required
tc keep in order. He gees over the road
every day and removes in a barrow
everything that is unsightly. After
each heavy rain he looks out for breaks,
and mends them by dumping loads OF
flint where needed. Supplies of flint
arc kept along the roads at intervals,
ready for the use of the road member.
He watches the road the year around.
and if there is any neglect he receives
a sharp warning from the inspector.
This is the English system of maintain
ing good roads, and it will be necessary
to have n similar system in this country
before the roads here will compare with
those of the older country.

Exports of American Cheese.

The cheese business in the United
States has not had the attention
and encouragement which it should
have, while our Canadian neigh
bors have given this branch of the
dairy interest a great deal more at
tentioR. During the last fiscal year
there was exported from Canada st4.-
253,002 worth of cheese. In the same
period there was exported from the
United States $5.497.539 worth It was
not because we have had market at
home for our cheese. but because Cana
dan cheese is better than the American.
