Root pruning is one way of dwarf
ing fruit trees.
Few kinds of fruit are easier
grown than the cherry.
While quantity is what the buyers
prefer, appearance in fruit is a great
factor.
An orchard should never be plowed
deep on account of the injury to the
roots of the trees.
There is nothing that will tend to
the development of roots as bone
and ashes mixed with muck.
That tree does not bear good
crop of fruit every year is not an in
dication that it is diseased.
Thoroughly whitewashing the
trunks of trees destroys lichens, in
sects and pests that live on the bark
One advantage of rolling ground
as location for the orchard is that
it gives better circulation of air
Set each tree with care, placing il
in rich soil, and packing fine, mel,
low soil thoroughly in around the
roots.

Live Stock and Dairy.

Strive to find out the state of salti-
ness pleasing to your customers, and
do not try to make them conform to
your ideas of palatable butter but
whether you use much or little, do
not guess at the amount. This is
not the way to build a reputation as
a maker of gilt-euged butter.
Some seem to think that sheep
will live on any kind of pasture at
any time of the year, and without
any water to drink. In order to pro-
duce a heavy growth of wool, and at
the same time to raise lamb, sheep
must have special care.
During the last few years there
has been an enormous decrease in
the number of sheep in the United
States; bat they are good property
once more, and the farmer who has
none will not soon have a better
opportunity to replace his flock at a
small cost than just now. One cam
not go far wrong in investing money
in sheep.
To keep horses in health there is
nothing like late and early feeding.
The long night fast, which is un-
natural to the horse, who is noe
turnal feeder, is bad, and the going
Immediately into hard work on a
full stomach is worse. The man
whose horses look best in condition,
brightest in their skins and coats,
and enjoy the greatest freedom from
disease, is the man who is at the
stable early in the morning-a full
two hours before the horses are
brought out to work.

Notes of Interest From All Around the

Notes of Interest From All Around the
Farm.
If you intend to grow sweet pota-
toes next season, better select the
plot and begin to manure it now
they draw heavily upon the soil,
and require much feeding. The
early crop is profitable, and also
that which is stored for the winter
market. They leave great
abundance of vines to be turned
under, which help to restore the
waste fertility.
Millet does not get credit for half
it is worth; from carelessness in
harvesting and feeding farmers
have gone out of the way to give it
bad name. Time will be when
millet will be an essential crop on
all stock farms.
To the extent that be can reduce
the cost Of growing his crops can the
farmer control the question OF
profits. 1t is most emphatically
done by growing larger yields to the
acre and by promptness and care
fitness in the harvesting of them.
The temperature of cellar is too
variable for seed potatoes, and they
too soon dry out and become
wilted. A good way to store them
is in strong apple or sugar barrels
buried in suitable place. Attend
to this before the ground is solidly
frozen, and there will be no ques-
ton about your seed in the spring.
At present prices we cannot
afford to burn grain for fuel, but
that is Just what farmers are doing
when they house cattle in open,
cold barns and stables. If they will
not mend the buildings, coal and
wood will be cheaper for keeping up
the temperature.
Large seed potatoes are apt to
give an excessive growth of vines
at the expense of the proper de,
velopment of the tuber, while small
seed will result in deterioration OF
the product. Medium sized seed
will give the largest portion o.
marketable tubers, and more uni
form in size than if either larger or
smaller seed are used.
Nitrogen abounds where there il
decayed vegetation. Keep up the
green manuring. Sowing clover
seed is adding capital in bank, anC
it begins to draw interest from the
first day of deposit.
A Kansas man says the trouble
with agriculture is that too mucf
land is farmed too little" There il
much to support the idea that the
intensive farmers are the ones who
made steady profits.
Good farming consists in keeping
the soil rich, light and free from
weeds. When good seed is planted
under these conditions, the plant il
sure to come forth vigorous, anC
will maintain its vigor till the har
vest. This is the secret Of success

by smearing the eggs with lard, OF

WILL FIGHT THE ORDINANCE.
Hotel Keepers Will Resist Payment
 of the License Tax

IA meeting of hotel keepers may be held this afternoon to prepare fir nal protest against the enforcement of the new ordinance licensing sa- looms. A hotdl keeper yesterday said the ordinance was open to s:veral cb- jections, the principal of which was its unconstfiutionalty He said there was no other town in the country col lecting a license tax from hotels. It was tried at Glenwood Springs, Coo, some years ago and the matter was taken to the supreme court, at winch it was decided that the ord ma .ce WAS rot constitutional. By the same de- cision a municipality is able 10 icelfe only saloons, which comes under the head of enforcing policy regulations.
 The hotel keepers say that they would perhaps not object to the ord.- nance if it were not discrimi ing. Said enc of them: No account is taken of small lodging houses and priva.e houses accommodating from two to half dozen lodgers. The nerve of these keepers of private houses is remarkable. Why I've had 10 throw not less than twenty five CT them out bodily. They come Ind icok over my register and then go to the room of a guest and ask him if he doesn't wan; a nice pace in pr.v3te family When I've intercep e1 enc of them he would hang about in front and weylay the lodger when h w5nt out.'
 1 The ho.eI keepers also take the ground that hote,s should not bs taxed om account of their semi-public char acter. Two or three of them have in advertising themselves throughout the east advertised the own incl dentally.
 Anothar objection is that there are
 now in existence two ord: :nances for
 taxing hotels and lodging houses. Cna
 is the forty cents room' ordinance,
 under which arrests were made and
 the eases growing out Of them wsre
 appealed last fall. The new ordinance
 contains DO repeating clause, 50 that
 both laws are in force.
 The holsel keepers have already
 consulted a legal firm and have been told that the tax cannot be collected. ; They say they will wait on the coun-
 cil and endeavor to have the matter
 disposed of peaceably if possible. If no understanding can be reached ! they will resist the enforcement ot
 the ordinance.

GAIN OF OVER TWO MILLIONS
January Customs Receipts Exceed
 Those for December.

Washington, Feb. 7.-The govern ment receipts of customs for the month of January were $1426O,492, against $11 ,276,S74 for the same month Of last year, showing a clear gain of practically $3,O00,0O0 over the opera tions of the Wilson bill. These re- celpts are satisfactory to trea sury Of ficiahs, although it was hoped that the receipts would run to the neghbor- hood of $15, ,00O, ,OOO.
 For the month of December the GUS toms receipts were S11, ,660,7 the first month which showed an increase over the Wilson bill receipts. A gain of over $2,5OO,00O in one month is considered as amply carrying out the predictions made by treasury officials and Chairman Dingley Of the ways and means committee.
 The official figures of the receipts and expenditures show a surplus of close to $1,00O,000. Leaving out the final payment of $S,53S,OO0, the frs of the month, on the Union Pacific however, the surplus would amount to a deficit of something like $7,6OO, ,000 This has been expected and discounted because of heavy interest pawn nts and unusually heavy miscellaneous ex- penses.
