THE ORCHARD.

Never prune when the ground is frozen.
Protect the trees from rabbits and mice.
Prune early for growth and la.c for
fruit.
Any fruit to keep well must have a thick
skin.
Avoid forks in fruit trees as far AS pos
sible.
House plants will not thrive well in "a
close room.
All newly set trees should be mulched
as soon as the ground freezes.
Often land unfit for cultivation for any
cause can be planted to fruit trees to good
advantage.
If a hard wind breaks off any of the
limbs, the stub should be cut off close and
the wound covered with paint.
Gooseberries and currants are largely
propagated by cuttings, and in cutting out
the old wood the best wood can be saved
for planting.
The nursery price of a fruit tree In a
mail part of it's actual cost by the time it
reaches a bearing age. Hence it is poor
economy to invest money in poor trees.
Old orchards can often be renovated in
the fall by blowing shallow and thorough
ly manuring, pruning and cleaning up
the trees, and then w~hitewashing SO as to
destroy yermin.
So far as can be done, whether a tree Is

The Prince of Humorists.

Bob. Burdette will be here June |
to enliven the place with his flashes of
wit and humor, and to make us for the
time forget the trials of life. He is full
of fun and philosophy, and carries a
large jug of popularity wherever he
goes. Burdette is funny because he
can't help it. He sees the risible side
of everything, and talks of it as if it
were the only side. You laugh at his
quaint humors and conceits and see life
in a brighter, better light after having
heard him. He is not as big a liar as
Eli Perkins, nor as big a fool as Arte-
mus Ward but he combines all the
freaks and frolics of all the humorists
since Socrates cracked his chestnuts in
the groves of ancient Athens. 1t is
worth a weeks time-check to hear the
Hawkeye sage tell you how to enjoy
life to the limit.
