Shapihp Trees.


1t used to be the practice of orchard
lists to prune and train young trees to
branch out six feet or more above the
ground, and induce them to grow In an
upright rather than a spreading form,
so that the branches would not prevent
blowing under and close up to the tree.
The opposite practice is to train them
to branch out close to the ground and
make low spreading tops. Some pre-
fer the latter method. Although 1t pre-
vents blowing close up to the tree
trunks, they say the trees do not need
1t. The shade OF low-headed trees
helps TO suppress the growth of grass
and weeds, and the soil may be kept
moist enough by the application of a
little mulch. The low4headed trees are
less exposed to winds, and a smaller
proportion of the fruit will be wind.

seven Hundred Years of Coal.

According TO the most authentic his
ocry OF the coal trade, last year marked
the 700th anniversary OF the use of Goa.
rs fuel. Taking the most moderate es-
innate of the antiquity Of man, and
considering the fact that the coal was
always here. 1t appears that we were
a long time In avalllng ourselves of this
most valuable asset which nature
placed nj our disposal. Many civilIza-
tions fourished and died out without
its use, and II may be said that Its po-
tentialities, as a factor in the progress
Of mankind. were never realized fully
antll the present century. Up TO It's
dawn, aside from the warming OF the
body and the cooking of food. little I'm
portance was attached to the fuel ques'
ton. Fol these purposes n few fagofs
or blllets of wood sufficed. But IN time
we discovered thai In the fire there was
4 giant a thousand times more power
full than the tabled monsters OF antdq-
uity.
Then the fuel question became the
all4mportant one. With Its aid all the
miracles OF the ages were to be sur
passed. Give to n nation or a COM
munlty abundant fuel, and 1t could
levy greater tribute upon the rest OF
the world than had ever been exacted
by the greatest conquerors. When Its
possibilities We're realized, and when
mankind was ready 10 take advantage
OF them. behold It was found ready to
hand, stored in the earth in the shape
Of coal. This has been called an age OF
iron and steel; but little claim would
1t have to that designation were II not
for coal. More than gold or iron. or
kings, or princes, or battles. or revolu-
tons, has 1t affected the fate of man
kind. 1t Is a notable anniversary, and

There Is a great deal of disagreement
Of road management. Some hold to the
Did road district supervisor system. be-
lieying that 1t cannot be improved;
others believe that the road district
should be not smaller than n township
and the work done by contract, or un-
der direction of n supervisor appointed
by the trustees, and the tax paid In
cash; while still others hold hat couii-
ty management Is the thing. Good
roads can be made on all these methods.
provided the right kind of man bosses
the job, a man who knows how to move
ilrt economically, who understands
what 1t takes to make a good road, and
who can get work out of the men,
whether working out their road tax
or hired by the day or by the month.
The point we wish to emphasize Is that
however they might disagree as to how
they should pay their taxes for good
roads, they are all paying a bad roads
tax. This Is a tax that does not pass

collector. Every community by fail
ing TO adopt the best method on which
they can agree in making good roads
levies the bad roads tax and pays 1t,
each man In proportion to what he
needs to use the roads. The man who
fails TO get hogs to market because of
impossible roads and loses % cents per
100 on the price is paying his bad roads
tax. The man who is obliged to go to
market with thirty bushels of wheat on
bad roads when had he succeeded In
getting the roads properly worked
might have taken sixty bushels Is pay
ny his bad roads tax. The man who
has to hitch his horse and walk into
town because he cannot get through a
mudhole is paying his bad roads tax.
IL farmers would think of the amount
Of bad roads tax they are paying every
year, they would In time learn the ne

One of the curious Cretan customs
which prevail on the eve OF every In

nte results is the cessation OF all feuds,
enmity and rancor. 1t Is carried out
as follows. A number Of individuals

They inform her parents OF their inten-
ton, and the needful consent IL never
withheld. Then a priest Is sent for
and told to begin the ceremony. He
takes a very long girdle and joins all
the men with 1t In n circle, In the CEN

of prayers, and winds up by giving his
benediction to all present. The moment

Let the Hens Sit,

When a hen goes on the nest to hatch
a brood II is not to her a hardship, as
some suppose, but a rest and an advan-
tage. A prominent breeder stated that
two of his pullets became so fat that
they broke down behind" assuming
a duck-shape when standing, and
would sit OF the ground when eating.
Finally they became broody, and, TO his
surprise, after bringing off their
broods, that breakdown appearance
was entirely gone. His experience sim
ply confirms what has been repeatedly
affirmed; that a hen can become too fat
to be profitable, and that the best rem
edy for such hens is to allow them to
incubate, giving only one meal every
W o days. As the hen when on the
nest does not exert herself, there Is but
little loss of vitality, and she will have
sufficient fat stored on her frame to
support her for more than n week on
one meal. The best method with fat
hens Is to sell them, as they will then
bring good prices; but IL it Is preferred
to retain them, let them hatch and
raise chicks.-Farm and Fireside.
