Orchard and Garden.

orchard ana Garden.
Fruit trees or plants will not take
care Of themselves.
Grapes thrive best In well-cultlvated
and well-drained land.
Having the orchard trimmed up
keeps the trees bearing well.
Cherry trees must be grated early
II good results are expected.
Choose young. thrifty trees. with
good roots and straight. clean tops.
Annual pruning largely avoids the
necessity for removing large limbs.
No fruit repays judicious pruning
and trimming better than the pear.
Make quality rather than quantity
the principal aim.
All trees that have roots or tops
bruised or mangled should be discard
ed.
In setting out a tree, save some Of
the top soil. especially to put around
the roots.
1t Is not bad plan to plant trees
along the roadside the whole length Of
the farm.
Nectarines and apricots can be
grown anywhere that the peach or
prune will thrive well.
Mulching prevents the early flow of
sap by preventing the ground from
warming up too soon.

sist of $50 square miles Of the choicest
hunting ground in Maine. Miss Rich.
ards carried a rifle that had been made
expressly for her. She is familiar with
the use of firearms. and has often
brought down deer, but this was the
first time she had had chance to
tackle a bear. Suddenly there was
loud cracking of the underbush and
looking in that direction she saw !
huge black bear coming toward her.
Bruin trotted along in blissful ignor'
ance Of the presence Of the young NO
man with rifle raised waiting for him.
When he had approached to within M
feet of her she fired. The bullet struck
the bear in the neck and made baa
wound. which caused the animal
grow very savage. 1t made rush l@
the girl, but when it was about seventy
feet away Miss Richards rife cracked
again and the bullet hit the bear behind
the ear and killed it. The bear was u
old fellow and weighed more than ="
pounds. Guides said it was the large"
killed in the Dead River region
years.

ADVICE FOR THE THIN GIRL.

~ iris with slender proportions

~ more heavily weighted friends
as persons to whom lots or ADVICE
about increasing their avoirdupois
must be given. Probably little in
formation on this subject will be val
liable. The candidate for added nesh
should ge: all the sleep possible-from
nine to ten hours. In addition, a nap
in the middle of the day Will help.
While mapping no stays, tight SHOES OF
bands must be worn. If one cannot
sleep one should lie down in dark
ened room ut least thirty minutes in
stead. In the mornings cold plunge,
or ut least Il cold sponge. must be TAX

a Turkish towel and avoiding heavy
clothing. A thin woman should avoid
cumbersome wraps. heavy weight
dress goods and Innings. She should
not tire herself bicycling and she
should have plenty of fresh air. Diet
deserves Il consideration. For some
drinking malt liquors is Il great help,
but many cannot stand it. a diet Win
an eye to acquiring flesh should con-
sist of liuuids-milk, water, but not
coffee and tea; no hot DrC"ls. plenty
of butter and cheese and good cocoa.
The very thin woman should have five
meals day. should eat marmalade
and plenty of warm milk :nd cream.
Indeed. if warm milk is drunk before
retiring it is in itself almost Il sure cure
for thinness. Above all. eat slowly and
never exercise until half hour after
meals.

peared Since 1t made Its debut In Cali

Massa chusetts has pleased. New Jer-

pearing only recently. has evidently

Turnips Among Corn.

There Is no crop grown so easily anu
with so little cost as late-sown turnips
In a field OF we'll cultivated corn. The
shade Of the corn will keep the turnips
from growing much until the corn Is
cut. Possibly also their growth will
be checked hc the demand of the corn
roots for plant food. But in the Indian
summer that follows the first frost the
turnips will make rapid growth. as
they will then have all the land for
their own use. The turnip will endure
a pretty heavy frost, and grow again If
warm weather follows it. But In our
climate turnips cannot be left in the
ground all winter as they are In Eu-
gland.

Last spring the Department Of Agrl-
culture distributed, at a cost of $3.50.

an area of 500 square miles, or 22I 800

finding out just how many acres were
actually planted with these seeds. and
how much the crop produced therefrom

have a better argument than We can

Where hogs are fed near the house or
barn, the fowls are apt to go among
them and eat large portion OF the
feed. An Indiana farmer has solved
the problem by constructing feeding
pen SO that the hogs and pigs could go
In and out at pleasure. but fowls or all
kinds were excluded. In the Orange

noticed that this rotation. running six

other crops. Farmers who follow this

Milk 0a Food on the Farm.

To every city resident one Of the ad
vantages Of living in the country Is that
those living there can easily secure
fresh and pure milk directly from the
COW. 1t is a most valuable food pro-
duct, whether used directly as milk or
cooked in custards and cakes, in the
various ways that milk and cream can
be used. Probably most housewives
who have lived in the country find
when they remove to the city that the
absence Of the best milk and cream
which they used to have in abundance
was a stronger handicap to successful
cooking than anything else. At the
wholesale prices that are all that milk
producers can get for milk 1t Is a mu I'll
cheaper food than any other that com IS
on their tables. II farmers ate more OF
their milk product they would be better
Off physically as we'll as financially
What they then sold would probably
bring as much as does the larger por.
ton that they sell now.
