SCIENCE OF PRUNING.
Branches Should BE SO Clipped That
the Tree Will Become More
Perfect Each Year.

The man who undertakes to train up
sponsibility, and should remember this
when he begins to prune it. / stood a
few days ago and saw a gardener prun-
ing some plum trees, and soon saw he
vas cutting them back simply because
it is common practice to do so. When
he was done with tree it was sym
metrical and well shaped, but most of
those be pruned were left SO they will
need pruning next year in order to
bring them into shape again.
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 task for a
thoughtless and careless man. The ter
minal bud on each branch shortened
should point toward the place that
needs filing worst. If the tree is one
sided it should be so pruned that it will
grow into a well-balanced head. This
does not always leave the tree as nice
looking as it would be if pruning were
a matter for to-day or for week or
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 a bud pointing the way the tip of
the branch should grow to make the
tree most slightly. It's possible by pay
ing attention TO 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, and if we
are careful in training them by proper
ly pruning the head we can make the
worst-formed tree shapely and slightly.
The man who so prunes tree this
year that it must be done over again
next year does not understand his bust
ness. The skillful orchardist prunes his
trees in such q manner that no two
year-old wood ever need be cut out of
it, This is the secret Of proper prun-
ing. but there are very few who under
stand and fewer who follow strictly the
best models.-Bert Carroll, in Farmers
Voice

Remedy for Tree BOrcrs,

Prof. Bogue, of the Oklahoma expert
ment station, recommends the follow
ing remedy for borers in trees: 1t is
made with ordinary soft soap, diluted
or made thinner with a strong solution
of common washing soda. Make the soiu-
ton of washing soda as strong as pos
sible; then thin the soft soap with that.
If this wash is painted on the trees on
clear warm day it will leave thin, var
nish-like coating on the trunks which
will stay there for a number of weeks,
and will prevent the female beetles
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
ed on the trees the mother beetles will
not lay eggs there and the trees are
safe. Other washes are sometimes
but this is as good as
any.

HIGH-CLASS CHESEE.
Experience Has Proved That 1t Can
he Produced with Success In
This Country.

The popularity of the imported fancy
cheeseS in this country has induced
many home manufacturers TO Initiate
these. Thus we have the western Swiss
imitation cheese, the American Stilton,
and other limitations. But there is
more fertile field for the cheese-maker
than initiating these foreign standard
articles of the cheese-maker'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 majority,
There are some makers, however, who
seem to 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 to be the china and
earthenware 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 as
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 pliab BILE,
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 our
ordinary full cream or part cream
cheese is that it 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 to mar
ket in such a short time after it has
been made that it has neither taste nor
flavor. We cannot expect it 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
watchfulness. 1t cannot be made
sweet and highly favored otherwise.
We have cheese-makers who can do this,
but they are unwilling, as rule, to
take the time. There is consequently
an opening for enterprising farmers
who will take the time to cure highly
favored cheese and ship it to market
in neat fancy packages. Such cheese
would in time get a line of customers
who would take it regularly in pref
erence to others and the price would
be double what our common cheese
brings.-James Ridgeway, in Massa-
chusetts Ploughman.

Wide tires serve as road rollers if
they are properly arranged. On road
leading to stone quarry in New York
siX-inch tires were used, the forward
wheels just tracking inside the rear
ones; hence each wagon covered "a
passed over the road, the consequence
being that the road was converted into
a compact and smooth one, and at cost
much less than is usually required,
while the labor of hauling was also
greatly reduced.

HIS BUSINESS ABILITY.
Az q Hanger On Young Mr.. Blank
Was Gritty and Glorious
Success.

This fair maid will have a handsome dot
some time, and it is the ambition of her
father to have her marry one whose fortune
will at least equal her own.
Il want you to stop that young Blank call
ing here" he remarked, recently, in the au-
tocratic way that some fathers have. He
has no prospects worth speaking of, there Is
nothing to show that he has any business
ability, and l don't want him hanging around
here any more"
"What is business ability, papa?"
"Why, you know. Everybody knows, of
course Let me see. Why, it's the ability to
see the main chance, to grab it, and hang on
till you get the money. That's what it is,
and there's plenty of young men in Detroit
that have it. Blank lacks it woefully.''
"Oh, he does? I'm afraid, papa, that
you're speaking without proper information.
He knows that III have 100000 some time.
That is main chance worth looking after.
Mr.. Blank saw it. He reached out and
grabbed for it. He's hanging on, and he's
going to get it. Do you happen to know of
any other young man of his age and limited
opportunities whose business ability has as
sured him so handsome a fortune!"
The old gentlenan's answer sounded sus-
piciously like smothered profanity, and it
was fully five minutes before the bewitching
creature could bring the sunshine of smile
to his face. Now he tells few confidential
friends that young Blank has the making of
one of the best business men in the city,

SELFISH MAN PUNISHED.
4 Little Train Incident That Gave
Justice-LovtEg Passengers
Much Joy.

Passengers on an Atlantic City train a
few evenings ago were treated to a spectacle
of retrlbutlve justice that nckled them Ia
mously. The car was crowded, and, as the
dust was flying pretty thickly, all the pas
sengers save one had their windows down.
This unpleasant exception was dIsgruntled-
looking party, with a plentiful growth OF
weedy looking whiskers, and these he al
lowed to sway in and out OF the window with
the gusty zephyrs. OF course, he got none
of the dust and cinders, for these always
blow in the seat directly behind. Two nicely
dressed women occupied these unfortunate
quarters, and, after suffering martyrdom Tor
about 20 minutes, one of them asked the
"open-window iend' if he would mind put
ting the window down. Mo- he replied,
gruffiy. Its too warm. Ii you don't like 1t
change your seat"
In front of the man sat a travelling man,
who took in the situation at glance. Quick
as a fash he raised his window, and instant
err the flowing facial appendages of the man
behind began to perform a most fearful Sc
ries of gyrations. The dust speckled them,
and the wind twisted them Their owner,
after a few moments of such violence, got
red in the face .nI then put his window
down. A few moments later he leaned over
and asked the other passengers to shut off
the draught in a similar manner, but, to the
intense amusement and qualification of the
balance of the people in the car, who had
watched the little comedy all the way
through, the drummer, without so much as
twinkle of the eye, replied: mo! It's too
warm. If you don't like it change your
seat !"-Philadelph Record.

AN INEXPENSIVE SILO.
Description of One That. AIthous h
Built for Only S36, Has Given
General Satisfaction.

Speaking of silos and cheap built ones,
we were greatly interested in a stave
silo in Tompkins county, holding about
so tons and costing all told $36, and as
fine silage as need be is now being fed
from it, writes John Gould in Hoard S
Dairyman. The novel thing about it is
that instead of using iron rod hoops,
four bands of 52-inch wire fencing were
used instead, and with entire satisfac-
ton. A band of fencing is cut, of suffi-
cient length, so that each end is
wrapped about by finch oak
scantling, so that when put round the
silo 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 silo shrinks when empty, and 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. ard then filled in-inside and out
with cement, and the inside dirt is
drawn up against the walls of the silo,
SO as to make the ceEter the lowest.
The roof is just given little pitch and
covered with boards battened and the
silo is complete, and doing as good work
as a $1,000 structure. And the cost of
this Cotton silo WAS only $50,

Caring for the Muscles OF the Hands.

The hands soon show the effects Of
age, and one thing which much con-
duces to a premature shrinking of the
muscles of the hands. and which is an
swerable for half the wrinkled palms

normally, they should be fresh and
firm, is that wretched habit OF wearing
gloves and sleeves that are too tight.
Too tight gloves must have their influ-
