Prune Culture in Southern Utah.

Thomas Judd of st. George contributes
the following interesting article to the
Denver Field and Farm:
The almond. a native OF North Africa
and Asia, has always been extensively
cultivated in southern Europe. and thence
in years past largely imported into the
United States. While attempts have been
made to produce the almond in this coun-
t. east of the Rocky mountains, they
lave met with poor success except in
Florida. Efforts to secure a crop have
been made in the Mississippi valley. but
II has been found that the fruit dropped
from the trees before maturity. 1t is
supposed that this result is caused by
the 2tmoSphere being surcharged with
moisture California has of late years
increased its production of this valuable
addition to the nut supply of our nation
and a part of southern Nevada extreme
southern parts of Utah, and portions of
western Colorado, New Mexico and Ari-
IONA appear to be also we'll adapted to
tie successful production of the almond
a dry atmosphere in connection with ir-
rigation being just what is necessary to
make this profitable industry.
A warm, dry soil is most suitable to
the production of the almond. which is
cultivated like the peach and is subject
TO the same diseases. The almond may
be budded on peach or plum stocks. OBJ
Servation OF these facts has led me to in
vest and to encourage others to invest
considerable capital in almond culture

Washington county. Utah. and for lalf
that time al La Nerkin ranch, near To-
querville. in the same county also at St
Thomas, Lincoln county. Nevada. The
results have been quite encouraging.
Most of our almond trees are raised from
the seed in st. George. and give different
types of the dulcis. or sweet almond;
some are exceedingly fine, and will ia
vorablv compare with the best in the
world.
In st. Georse we have a Seeding called
the Gray named for its owner; it is one
of the large. soft-shell type. and the

years not less than 10 pounds and as high

When You are a Cues.

In an article on Some Social Graces.'
Ruth Ashmore in January Ladies'
Home Journal writes of the guest and
host, etiquette of invitations, of the
minor social points. To the woman
who is a guest at a friends home she
thus advises: IF your visit is to be
one of several days or weeks you must
make your hostess. il she has not been
wise enough to state it in her invita-
ton, understand in your answer not
only exactly what time you will arrive.
but exactly the day and hour when
you will leave, and you will show great
wisdom if, no matter how much you
are enjoying yourself you refuse to
prolong your visit. During your stay
you must find everything pleasant that
your hostess arranges for you. Ask no
special service of a servant. You must
neither expect nor ask that YOUR
laundry be done in the house, and you
must take great care not to leave the
dainty toilet-table or the pretty room
in disorder. After you return to your
home you should write a letter to the
lady. you have been visiting, thanking
her for all the kindness she has shown
you, and sending your regards to the
members of her household

Don't Worry.

Worry annually kills more people
than work, for worry fatigues the
nerves. says Demorest's Magazine, but
ii is useless to tell people of nervous
temperaments' not to worry. One should
strive, however, to avoid all things that
tend to disturb the nerves. Throw
away pen that scratches and a pencil
that has bit of hard lead in its make
up. Discard a needle that squeaks, and
a basin that leaks. Use sharp tools and
wear soft garments. Oil the hinges of
the rheumatic door and faSten the
creaking blind. Have your neighbor S
dog quietly 'anaesthetized" into an
ether and better world. for the law will
shield the nervous man from the irri-
tating nuisance of barking dog. These
may seem but -trifles, but such trif1es
irritate the nerves as much as niece
of wooden does raw sore. Charles
Lamb, the quiet. ineffensive man, said
that a carpenters hammer in a warm
summer noon would fret him into more
than a midsummer madness.

The Value of Water.

1t is possible to prevent many di-
seases and cure others by drinking
large quantities of water. An eminent
French physician says typhoid fever
can be washed out of the system by
water. He gives his patients what
would amount 10 eight or ten ounces
an hour of sterilized water. Expert
ments have been made with diseases
caused by bacteria which demonstrate
the curative value of water. In cases
of cholera, where the system secretes
a large amount of fluid. enormous
quantities of hot water are of great
benefit and will cure many cases with
out other medicines. One doctor says
that perfectly sweet fresh cider. taken
in. large quantities, has been known to
cure cases of bowel complaint. The
speedily thrown out of the system.
Hot water, in fevers. is of great use
and an ordinary tumblerful of water as
hot as can be taken once an hour is one
of the very best remedies. The i'm
portant thing is to get into the system
and out of it a sufficient amount OF
water to prevent the accumulation OF
ptomaines and toxins within the BODY
