trimming the Orchard.

The late winter is probably the best
time in the year for the trimming of
the orchard. 1t most certainly is the
best time in the year for the farmer if
his convenience is taken into consid-
Grafton, There is comparatively q
lull in his work at that time and he
can give his tees the time necessary
to trimming them in the right way.
Trimming a tree is one thing that
cannot be done in hurry. A man
can easily cut off branch, but he
cannot grow one. He must cut off
only the branches that require cutting
to benefit the tree, being careful to
cat none that will leave the trunk of
the tree exposed to the hot sun and
wind of summer, or one that will de-
tract from the symmetry of the trees.
No two trees are of the same exact
shape and each one must be studied
individually before touching with
pruning knife or saw. This takes
time.
So many things must be taken into
consideration that no set rules can be
given in regard to trimming trees.
Where there are heavy winds during
the seasons when the trees are full OF
leaves aud laden with fruit, tie limbs
should be kept trimmed 80 that not
too great weight should be borne by
the main stems. For the same fea-
son the limbs should be closer to tue
ground. In.au exposed position tho
tree should be rather heavier upon the
south side, and when young should be
inclined q little in that direction.
This will tend to balance the heavy
south winds and also furnish shade
for the trunk Of the tree during the
hot months of the year.
Too great care cannot be taken in
healing the stubs of the cut limbs.
Many fine tree is ruined by the
checking of this stub. Waters will
run into the crack thus formed and
the wood surrounding will begin to-
decay. This will il very short time
reach the heart OF the limb, weaken.

if not the tree itself, is but the ques>

1t should be borne in mind that tho
trimming business can easily be over.
done. 1t is fur easier to cut tree
than to grow one. Think we'll before
putting the knife to branch, and if
you are in doubt as to whether you
should cut it or not-don't. Be sure
you are right and then proceed, but
better to let nature have her own
sway than to ruin tree by oyer.prun-
ing. One can see and Judge of the
Importance of the limbs and branches
while there is no screen of leaves to
interfere with seeing all of them in
their relative position to each other
and the tree. For that reason, if no
other, winter is a good season for
trimming the orchard.-J. U. Irwin,

Goldsmith,

Not long before the close of Gold
smiths life he produced the brilliant
and humorous lines of Retaliation"
Varied accounts are given of the origin
of this poem. 1t will be remembered
that in a joke Garrick wrote the fol
lowing couplet as an epitaph for Gold
smith:
Here lies Molly Goldsmith. for shortness called
Nou,
Who wrote like an angel. but talked like poor
poll.
1t was on April 4, 1874, that Gold
smith died. The precise spot where he
was buried in the Temple churchyard
is unknown.
This is Johnson's summing up of the
character Of Goldsmith: He had rails
ed money and squandered it by every
artifce of acquisition and folly of ex-
pense. But let not his frailties be re-
n1embered; he was a very great man."

Worse Than Death valley.

Dreadful as Death valley Is, Its north
western arm, known as Mesquite val
ley, is worse. All the waters upon its
surface are poison, and down through
the canyon Z hot. suffocating wind
blows with terrible velocity. During
its course through the desert it fire.
quently gathers clouds OF white sand
that have blinded many a horse and
rider, and at frequent intervals II
whirls down the canyon like a cyclone

ing beds of salt and borax are conceal
ed streams of salt water which how
sluggishly toward some unknown out
let or may be tapped up by the parched
winds
One of the strangest phenomena OF
this extraordinary place is what from
tiersmen, for want of Il better name,
have called raising earth" BY the
action of the sun 4 crust composed OF
minerals and clay has been formed on
the surface, and by some curious pres
sure of nature has been lifted from the
earth in irregular curves like pie crust
in the oven. The cavity between this
crust and the solid earth varies from
one TO ten feet, and the depth frequent
" changes after heavy windstorms by
the displacement Of the air beneath.
The man or the animal that steps upon
this crust is gone forever. 1t is abso-
lutely impossible for any one to extri-
cate himself when plunging about in
the raising earth."-Chieago Record.

On the occasion of our visit to the

did not give us a chance to do that
They snatched the dainties from our
hands, and when our supplies were ex-
hausted they amused themselves by
mimicking Us.
One of our party, who had a bad
cold, used his handkerchief with con-
siderable emphasis. Scarcely had he
replaced his handkerchief in his pock-
ct when n monkey seized the protrud-
ing end, pulled it out and gave an ex-
cellent imitation of the act. Then, of
course, some of us had kodaks. and
after we had taken several pictures
another personification of impudence

CUTTLEFlSH INK.

riOus Animal Elects.

1JcCAs.
The cuttlefish are caught in great
numbers off the Cornwall coast and
are used as a bait for the conger eel,
for which this part of the world is cell
ebrated. The cuttiefsh possesses no
real mouth, but has a long. cylindrical
sucker with which it adheres firmly to
the bait. The method of capturing the
fish is as follows: \ long line from
which are suspended from 200 to 800
hooks baited with portions of pilchards
almost the only bait the cuttlefish will
take) is let down into the sea and al
lowed to stop there for about half an
hour. 1t is then drawn up, and the
cuttlefish are found hanging by means
of their suckers to the bait.
The moment that they leave the wa
tiers they eject with considerable force
q great quantity of deep, black, viscous
substance which is about the conSisten-
cy of treacle, and the stain made by it
upon the clothes of the fishermen is
permanent if it happens to fall upon
them.
l had Il conversation with one. man
who has several times received full
charge in his face, and he assured me
that beyond the smell, which is most
nauseous, he felt no Inconvenience at
all, no smarting or pain in his eyes and
no bad after effects
If any of the liquid gets upon the
nets, it rots them beyond repair I'M
less it is washed off Immediately. An
other curious fact is that this fluid
will not injure cloth in the slightest
degree beyond making a permanent
stain. One man told me that he had
used a jersey for several years which
had been squirted all over at different
times by these cephalopods, but that
except for the cloth being stained it
was as good as ever.
