Low-Headed Trees.

For several reasons low-headed fruit
trees are to be preferred. They resist
wind better, the fruit is more easily
gathered, and the bark insect-which
lays its eggs on the bare trunk to be
Matched out by the warm sunshine--is
hesded of. Then there is less danger
of sun -scald, as the branches, spreading
out, in a measure at least, shade the
trunk.
By cutting out the top during the
early stages of growth in a majority of
cases low-spreading growth may be
readily secured.
Some Of our best growers are now adj
vocating no pruning. There is no ques-
ton but that 10 many cases much harm
is done to good tree by over-pruning
and on this account is choice between
no pruning and the serious injury result
ing from over-pruning. No pruning is
rather the better plan. One advantage
claimed for not pruning is that there
will be no water spouts. While prun-
ing to some extent seems necessary in
order to get rid Of crossing or trailing
limbs, yet care is necessary MT to prune
too severely.
1t is of course best to remove all dead
or diseased wood whenever noticed, but
with care taken to supply conditions
favorable to thrifty, vigorous growth,
this can be reduced to a minimum Ger
tain it is that no limb or branch should
be removed without good reason.
Better not prune as to cut unnecessarily.
One grower claims that all that is neces-
sary when the desired height is secured
is to pinch OF the top bud Of the center
stem of the tree and then let further
pruning alone.
The only possible objection to low
headed tree is that after good growth
has been secured it is difficult to cultivate
close up under the tree, but generally
after tree has come well into bearing
the better plan is to seed down to clover,
and it is only in exceptional cases that
cultivation will be necessary. -Farmer' &

StableA

Il is rare that farmers stables are con-
structed with the three. told idea Of giving
proper light. proper ventilation and
proper drainage. Any one Of these de-
fects is likely TO cause much suffering to
the animals and loss to the farmer If
the stable IS too dark the eyesight Of the
animals is injured, and the same is true
when the light comes in in doubtful rays
from this crevice and from that Even
light from dirty, small window OBJ
scured with cobwebs is not Of sufficient
quality or quantity to give the light
needed for the development and health
Of the eyes. Stables that are built CON-
pactly with light and that high up are
generally also poorly ventilated and the
bottom part Of the barns cr stables be-
comes pit to catch and hol0 all the bad
doors. including the carbonic Gcids gas
from the lungs Of the animals If. in
addition, the drainage is poor the odors
are increased, for the urine remains in
the stable and throws off ammonia 1t is
a wonder that animals can live at all in
some of the barns and stables in which
they are kept all winter. Stables should
be constructed on high ground where
possible, that the drainage problem may
be reduced to its smallest proportions
If stable has to be constructed on the
level, great care should be taken to see
that it is perfectly drained, and that the
drain is not clogged up and the urine
forced back in wet weather. If the drain
age is poor the only alternative is to use
. large quantity Of absorbent materials,
by the assistance of which the urine
may be taken up and removed. Even
in stables that have good drainage alb
sorbent should be used to a consider .ble
extent,

Grass on Poor Soil.


Amidst the great activity which pre-
walls this year in regard to forage crops
it should be borne 10 mind that poor soil
will not grow meadow or pasture grass
having a high feeding value. To get a
good stand Of grass it is, generally
speaking, essential to put the soil 10
6rst-rate conditi u as regards filth (; to
get grass that shall have high feeding
value per ton it is likewise necessary to
put the soil in high condition as regard 5
fertility. As the children Of Israel could
not make bricks without straw, so the
soil can not produce grass rich in feed
ing value unless it be in turn we'll fed.
With grains aud seeds the composition
Of any particular kind is, within narrow
limits Of variation, the same. On poor
ground the yield will be but few bushels
per acre, but the composition Of the seed
or grain will be very close to that Of
like grain grown on good land. 1t is
different in the cases of grasses and for
age plants. Not only is the yield lighter,
but the variation in feeding value is
wider, according as the soil is poor or
good. Experiment has shown that corn
fodder grown on we'll MANFRED land
may contain 1856 per cent of protein,
or muscle-making nutritive elements,
whereas when grown on unmanured
land the protein content fell to 6.32 per
cent. In like manner timothy on we'll
manured land contained 875 per cent
Of protein, while on unmanured land it
contained but 6.45 per cent. Recent
experiments by Prof. Atwater, of the
Connecticut experiment station, show
that blue grass, redtop, etc, are affect
ed in the same way, and that soil rich
in nitrogen will produce grass and for
age crops having a feeding value rs
pei. cent greater per ton than is pro
duced by lands poor in this element of
fertility. Of course the yield is re-
duced, also, on poor land, and when the
reduction in the amount of the crop and
that of its feeding value are taken to-
gether the importance of making meadow
and pasture land as fertile and well ma
nured as possible becomes very apparent.

Cases Of poison have arisen through
q careless disregard for the cleanliness Of
the cooking utensils or Of their perfect
condition. Directly copper saucepan
shows signs Of being at all worn it should
be retinned, and in any case nothing oil
an acid nature should be allowed to re-
main 10 it while cooking. The same with
regard TO zinc and lead vessels, which
are unsafe for cooking purposes. These
OF tin, steel, iron or nickel are the safest
to employ. Remember, too, that it is
bettar TO use . wooden spoon than one of
metal when stirring milk or soups. and
that before using baking tins you should
grease them inside thoroughly either
with butter or lard. In order to prevent
them from burning it is as well to take
the precautiOn of sprinkling the shelves
Of the oven with salt.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S.-The i'm
portant development in the Chinese sit
uation today was the decision of the
government not to send any more
troops to China. All the troops at sea,
amounting to about 1000. together
with those under orders for service in
the far East. which have not sailed.
amounting to about 5000 more. will
be sent to Manila.
These troops will sail on the same
route, and upon touching at Nagasaki
win so to Manila unless there are de-
Ivelopments In China, not now expected,
which will make their presence in that
country necessary.
Secretary Root said today that no
more troops were being sent to China
because they were not needed With

Chaffee will have 5000 available men.
which is deemed sufficient for all pres

department that the encouraging con-

why the orders of today regarding
troops We're issued. Beside the troops
on the Meade. there is now at sea the

Ninth cavalry and recruits, the Sher-
man with one battalion each Of the
Second. Fifth and Eighth infantries.

partment that six or seven thousand
troops would be affected by the or
der.
A dispatch was received from General
Chaffee today dated Pekin, August
IS. He did not report further fighting
in Pekin and for that reason Wash
irgton officials feel assured that hos
tile demonstrations in the Chinese cap
ital have ceased. The dispatch relat-
ed largely to transportation conditions
and stated that the railroad between
Taku and Pekin could not be used at
the present time, as portions Of it had
been destroyed by the Chinese. GEN.
eral Chaifee will cooperate with 9TH
er commanders in China in reconstruc-
ting the road for the use of the allied
forces. General chaffee also reported
that the telegraph line which was con-
structed by the signal corps from Tien

as late as Aug. II. declaring that a
great fire was then raging in the i'm

The Russian commander had de-
clIned to accept the decision Of the 9TH

cincts. and street fighting was going
on. General chaffee, so it is asserted,
maintained that the Chinese had teen
adequately punished already and that
It would be unwlse 10 take the i'm

This explains the withdrawal Of the
Americans after preaching three gates,
as cabled by the Associated Press.
The Russian general, however, main

him from carrying hostilities into the
