Prof. Bogue, of the Oklahoma expert

made with ordinary soft soap, diluted
or made thinner with strong solution
ofcommon washing soda. Make the solu

II this wash is painted on the trees on 8
clear warm day it will leave a thin. var
nish-like coating on the trunks which
will stay there for number OF weeks
and will prevent the female beetle'
from laying their eggs on the bark
The borers are grubs of beetles which
hatch from eggs laid on the bark; If this
coating Of soft soap and soda is paint

not lay eggs there and the trees ar,
safe. Other washes are sometime,
recommended, but this is as good al
any.

HIGH-C CHESEE.
Experience Has Proved That n Caa
He Produced with Success In
This Country.

The popularity Of the imported fancy
cheeses in this country has induced
many home manufacturers 10 initiate
these. Thus we have the western Swiss
imitation cheese, the American Siilton,
and other limitations. But there Is
more fertile field for the cheese maker
than Initiating these foreign standard
articles of the chccse-maller's art and
skill. Good American cheese will estab-
liSh itself in the favor of the people who
can pay good prices for it, but the
trouble is that not sufficient attention is
given TO the subject by the ma jority.
There are some makers, however, who
seem 10 have grasped the situation and
they are making fancy American cheese
and putting it upon the market in
dainty little packages. The most pop
ular package seems 10 be the china and
carthenware cup, which besides looking
attractive keeps the cheese in good con-
dition for long time and is very handy
for the buyer. There are other makers
who simply wrap the cheese in squares
or rolls in prepared paper and then
with tin foil This is just as good az
the more expensive china receptacles-
The point TO be observed is that the
packages keep the cheese in moist,
sweet condition indefinitely and that
they are not expensive. The quality Of
this cheese is considerably higher than
that of the ordinary cream cheese that
comes from the average cheese factory
in this country. 1t is made of rich
cream and milk. is cured better, is not
tough and elastic, but soft and pliablet
and is perfectly adapted to spreading
on bread or using with pie. 1t has more
taste and flavor than most Of our com.
mon cheese. The great fault with ouI
ordinary full cream or part cream
cheese is that il is fiavorless. One might
eat it and not know just what he was
chewing. The trouble all comes in the
curing. Our methods are probably all
right. but we hurry the cheese 10 mar.
kct in such a short time after il has
been made that il has neither taste nor
favor. We cannot expect ii to improve
In flavor in the ordinary store or ware.
house. The curing must be done and
perfected at home under the most APP
proved conditions, and under constant
watch fulness. 1t cannot be made
sweet and highly favored otherwise.
We have cheese-mallers who can DO this,
but they are unwilling. as rule, to
take the time. There is consequently
an opening for entcrprising farmers
who will take the time 10 cure highly
favored cheese and ship il TO market
in neat, fancy packages. such cheese
would in tir1e get line Of customers
who would take it regularly in pref
erence to Others and the price would
he double what our common cheese

SCIENCE OF PRUNING.
Branches should lie So Clipped THAI
the Tree VIII become More
Perfect Each Year.

The man who undertakes TO train up
tree accepts something Of a moral re-
sponsibilty. and should remember this
when he begins to rrune it. | stood a
few days ago and saw gardener prun-
ing some plum trees. and soon saw he
was cutting them back simply because
IL is common practice TO do SO. When
he was done with tree it was sym
metrical and well shaped. but most of
those he prunod were left so they will
need pruning next year in order 10
bring them into shapeagain.
In pruning a tree the orchardist
should have in mind the shape the tree
should have at maturity and so clip its
branches that each year it will become
more perfect. This is not a task for a
thoughtless and careless man. The ter
minal bud on each branch shortened
should point toward the place that
needs filing worst. II the tree is one
sided il should be so pruncd that il will
grow into a well-balanced head. This
does not always leave the tree as nice
looking as il would be il pruning were
matter for to-day or for a week or "a
month. The buds on branch grow out
so as to form a spiral, and with care
the branch may be shortened so as To
have bud pointing the way the tip OF
the branch should grow to make the
tree most slightly. II possible by pay
ing attention 10 this TO grow trees in
any shape desired. and the Chinese and
Japanese are fond of so pruning trees
that they will present various odd
shapes. In this country we have an
IDEAL for each kind of tree, end il we
are careful in training them by proper
ly pruning the head we can mike the
worst-formed tree shapcly and slightly.
The man who SO prunes tree this
year that il must be done over again
next year does not understand his busi-
ness. The skillful orchardist prrnes his
trees in such n manner that no two
ycar-old wood ever need be cut out of
II. This is the secret Of proper prun-
ing, but there are very few who under
stand and fewer who follow strio tly the
best models.-Bert Carroll, in Farmers

A STRANGE PEOPLE.
Independent Tribes That Live and
Fight In the valley OF the
Drahmaputra, In India.

They are indeed astrange people who
inhabit the valley of the Brahmaputra,
che largest tea producing tract in India.
This territory is bounded on the north
by range upon range of mountains.
starting with hills which rise TO few
hundred feet above the level of the
plains, and eliminating in the snowy
peaks of the Himalayas. In these hills.
between Thibet and the British terri
tory, live number of independent
tribes of Mongolian origin, who, secure
In their rocky Businesses, owe no al
legance to any civilized power.
1t is easy for n body of these natives
to slip down, harry or destroy village
and return long before the alarm is
given, and system of outposts along
the frontier which would render such
raids impossible can be maintained
only at great expense, while an expedi-
ton to the interior would be even more
costly. the tribes retiring quietly be-
fore the army and leaving nothing but
few huts TO burn.
In cold weather the hill men come
down to the plains TO receive their
''posa," as it is called. or government
grant. They report on the character of
the snowfall in their hills during the
previous year-which information is
taken into account when forecasting
the coming rainfall-and Of the exist
cnce OF disturbances among them, and
offer TO the government n paltry gift
of a few bamboo bows and arrows in re-
turn for large bag Of rupees.
Though friendly enough when in the
plains, they do not encourage callers ut
their houses, and visitors have often
been detained as slaves, and in some in
stances kiiied.--N. Y. Herald

Louis judge who saw cXtcnuaiing cir
cumstances in wife cheating ease. A
man has no right 10 whip his wife.
That is not what he married her for.
No. sir. he married her to love and pro-
tect her. Doesn't She see that buttons
are put on his clothes? OF course she
does. Doesn't she see that his collar
button doesn't roll under the dresser,
and if il does, doesn't she get down on
her knees and fish il out for him? or
course she does. Doesn't she cook his
meals for him. and have them ready
for him when he comes home, and
doesn't she sit up sewing for his chill
drcn or stay all night watching them
when they are sick? OF course she
does. And what has she done to be
beaten by him? Nothing at ALL Very
often she makes the living and he gets
mad because she doesn't make enough
10 enable him TO wear silk ties and pat
ent leather pumps and fiji himself 10 the

tumble into bed and snore off his drunk

and makes a beast of himself. / can
have some sympathy for the man who
steals, because he is often compelled
TO do it. / have feeling for the man
who asks for 'handme-outs' or who

| never had a man before me charged
with wife-beating that that man did
not have an ugly mug on him? We'll,
that's a fact. Ii takes some consider

deserve it Will be the fault of the law
and not Of me.
II will fine that fellow 500. am
glad Of it. | would have been just twice

twice as much. The man who beats
his wife wants to get out Of the jurisdic-

COERCING A RELUCTANT HEN.
Al First She WAS ANcrse to Raising
Brood. but Now shes "set-
ting" All Right.

Down in Missouri lives a boy who
likes pets. He began with a pair OF
pigeons that he got in a trade for a
dog that he had traded knife for.
His parents allowed him to keep the
pigeons until they multiplied so that
there were pigeons all over the place.
Then he sold the pigeons and bought
goat that ate the clothes off the line
every Monday. lie was compelled to
dispose Of it. and traded il for a pair
of game chickens. In n week there
wasn't a rooster left in the neighbor-
hood; the game rooster had killed
them all. His father took the game
chickens for a ride one night and lost
them three miles out in the country.
Three days afterward tie boy brought
them home. but he never told ANYONE
how he got them. And so he fought foS
his pets one by one, his dog was lost,
lis lamb stolen. his rabbits ran away.
He has come down TO one old hen.
Recently he bought 'settin'" OF
eggs. A "settin'" of eggs is as many as
n motherly hen can hatch into chicks.
He had made up his mind that his hen
was lonely and needed company, and
what so companionable as n batch OF
little chicks TO scratch for? The hen,
however, had different views. and didn't
want 10 sit on the eggs. But he was
not boy to be stumped by hen--hc
had borne too many losses already.
lie put the eggs in n box. in which he
had made a nest of hay. Then he plant
ed the indignant hen on them. put
board in which he had bored lot OF
airholcs over her and left her TO come
TO terms. That night his big brother
kicked off the box and set the hen free.
The next morning the boy put her
back, and Put some bricks on the
board. for he thought she had raised
the board and released herself. The
brother kicked both bricks and hoard
off that night. The boy replaced hen
and board again. and again they were
kicked Oft. Then he got board and
made n hole in il for the hen to poke
he head through. and nailed the board
10 the box. Once n day he takes the
board off and chascs the hen around the
yard for exercise. and twice day he
carries food and water to her.
What's the use of trying to discour.

AN INEXPENSIVE SILO.

,hat instead of using iron rod hoops

USED instead, and with entire satisfac.
uon. band of fencing is cut, of sufii
cent length, so that each end il
wrapped about 4 by 4-inch oak
scantling, SO that when put round the
siIo the end pieces will come within
about 10 inches Of each other and are
tied together with two 1-inch bolts
with double burrs. The pull" of this
band is simply immense. and the coil
OF the wire takes up all slack when
the sllo shrinks when empty, aud ex
pands when the slaves swell. so pull
all the time. The bands are placed far
enough apart so that three manholes
are sawed in between the bands. The
foundation is simply little trench in
which the lower ends of the slaves are
set, and then filed in-inside and out
with cement. and the inside dirt is
urawn up against the walls Of the siIo.
