Pruning Apple Trees In Winter.

There has been great deel of argu-
ment as to -hich is the best season
for pruning apple trees. Some as
sert that the work should be done at
a certain period, while others are
equally emphatic that some other sea-
son is much to be preferred, says a
writer in the Mississippi Valley
Democrat. And there are a great many,
in all, who think that the man who
advised that the pruning be done
'when the tools are sharp" was
about right. It is true that the e1.
perts assure US that pruning should
be commenced when the tree is small,
and be so closely followed, year after
year, that there will be no necessity
for removing branches of much size,
even after the tree has reached its
full growth. Doubtless this is all
right from the experts point OF view.
For the man who IS able to give his
whole time and attention to the care
of his orchard there may not be a
| better plaa. Such man can watch
his growing trees, and with pruning
knife, OF shears, or at most a hne-
toothed saw, he can keep the top OF
J the tree in good shapeaud can prevent
the growth of branches which would
prove useless or worse than useless,
| If they were allowed to remain upon
the tree, instead Of being destroJe ed
when they were buds or only small
shoots. But the man whose principal
business is farming and whose time IS
largely occupied with the cultivation
of the soil and the care Of live stock,
finds such course is altogether i'm
practical. He wants and ought to
have, something Of an orchard, but
he must care for it more in q general
way and at "odd icbs," rather than
follow the elaborate methods which
the professional fruit grower finds it
desirable, or perhaps, even necessary,
to adopt.
For the reason above noted, the
great majority of farm orchards need
pruning. and, while it is easy to over
! 10 the work, a great many of them
need a good deal of labor to bring the
trees into the best possible condition
! for future usefulness. When this
work shall be done is question for
each owner to answer for himself.
and the answer, if it be a wise and
iadicious one, will depend very large

stances. II located in the far north

Value of the Separator.

The use of the separator. is doing
much toward making winter dairying
profitable. If it is properly managed
all the butter can be taken from the
milk, or 50 near it as to amount to o
loss Of about one pound in thousand,
while the old system of setting the
milk in room where it might freeze
often caused loss Of two OF three
pounds in hundred, and sometimes
the butter refused to come at all, or
was worth but little when it did come.
With separator and all the other i'm
proved appliances in the dairy room,
a knowledge Of what is good food, and
all the other dairy information which
has been disseminated in the past
twenty years it would seem as il the
dairymen should have an easy and a
profitable business, much better than

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
VOHlu'S WORLD.
MRS. KRUGER AT HOME.
Admirable Traits OF the "Flrst Lady of
the CransVaal."

Admirable Traits OF the "Flrst Laly of
the Transvaal."
Mrs. Paul Kruger is the emboai-
ment of homeliness. In her appear.
auce, IN her manners, in her speech,
she is as unassuming as the wife OF q
Lincolnshire farmer. And she is just
as thrifty and frugal.
Dom Paul IS worth about $50. 900, =
600; and the credit for aulassing that
immense fortune he gives to the wom-
an who for nearly half century has
cared for him and watched over him,
and striven and saved for him.
Farmer, herdsman, soldier, clergy
man, Ambassador, President of the
Transvaal--in every phase of his
wonderful career, "Tants" Kruger
has always believed implicitly in her
husband, hos always shown him a
humble, devoted admiration that is
:omewhat pathetic to look upon. Paul
Krugec to-day IS in her opinion the
ifeatest man who ever lived. And
hc is the proudest woman in the
Transvaal. The struggling, ambitious
farmer found treasure when he
found that gentle, blue-eyed lass,
who, when he asked her if sue would
marry him, looked down demurely
and said, ''l can bake, l can cook, I
cau sew, T can clean, I can scrab."
Even in these days, the first lady
in the Transvaal bakcs, and sews, and
scrubs TO save the wages OF servant.
She may be seen at 5 o'clock any
morning the President is at home
bending over q little kitchen stove
preparing her husbands morning cup
# coffee. The only accomplishment
in which "Aurtie" Kruger claims TO
excel is in making coffee; and Presi-
dent Kruger aAirms that she attains
better results with less coffee than
any other housewife in the TransVaal.
When Mrs. Kruger has finished her
heavier household duties she dons a
black alpaca dress, settles herself
comfortably in the little parior, and
larns socks until evening. President
kruger is notable parsonage now,
consequently those Of our readers
,.ho may like ''the personal para
raph" will learn with interest that he
IS 'sheavy on his socks" Nearly every
rair in his wardrobe hes been
S'hee'ed' by his industrious wife.
Then, when there are no more
socks to mend, Mrs. Kruger may take
it into her head to make herself new
dress OF ':turn" an old one. Every
dress that the good lady wears or has
worn during the past few years was
made by herself. Ladies who are in
the habit of preso-tiug dressmakers'
bills to their husbands at frequent in
tervals will be interested to know that
the wife OF the President Of the South
African Republic has never had more
than three dresses at any one time,
and that they are all black. She IS
satisfied with two hats, which, like
the dresses, are made by herself.
The hat reserved for special occa-

OF the lady's many good traits is her
love Of animals. She deplores the
fashion of wearing birds or feathers
in feminine headgear, and has herself
never been guilty OF anything OF the
kind.

Fashionable Walking Hats,

There is nothing in practical mil
linery this season that is more stylish,
unobtrusive and ladylike than the
toques and English walking hats, par
ticularly in black, with their fashion
able decoration of sable plumes. An
other satisfactory and becoming
choice is the medium-sized round hat
with all lace, buckle, and floral gar
niture eliminated, and nothing used
but velvet loops and full, handsome
ostrich feathers. Those shown in the
shops for conservative wearers are
notably attractive, as they present no
erratic dents or startling outlines,
neither do they swoop low on one
side. of the face, and curve to the top
of the head on the other after the
style of some OF the astonishing but
very fashionable shapes now worn.
When not wholly straight and flat OF
brim, the hats arch gracefully on
each side, above the temples, and this
slight lifting allows for some artistic
bits of decoration under the brim just
above the waves Of hair-a becoming
touch of color always relieving the
dull, somewhat heavy appearance OF a
black hat, particularly with woman
Of pale or dark complexion. Excep-
ton, however, can very often be made
in ordering q black velvet hat, which
is aim ost invariably improving in ita
effect.

THE Philadelphia Record says that in
accepting the Populist nomination for
the Presidency Mr.. Bryan had no
Democratic qualms. He was Popu-
list in 1896 and he remains Populist-
the consistent advocate of Cheap
Money and of all the visionary Social
istic schemes for the conversion of
representative Government into mob
government. Ee justifies a fusion of
parties for the overthrow Of Republi-
can administration on the ground of a
common danger growing out of the
attempt to establish a colonial policy
for the government of the islands ac-
.quired from Spain instead of such gov
-ernments as have been heretofore es-
tablished in territory acquired by the
United States either by conquest or
purchase.
Whether the danger be greater from
Populism than from Imperialism is a
question which every voter must de-
termine for himself. Congress and
the Courts will have final say in the
matter, The Administration must
answer for the Administration. The
President cannot establish an imper-
ial policy unless he be sustained by
the legislative and judicial authority.

Trusts and Foreign Policy.
The trust question is frankly and
vigorously considered. Official records
of legislation show that the Republic
an party is the only one which has
courageOusly undertaken the task of
controlling trusts by national legisla-
tion. The Republican party placed
upon the statute books the only ef-
fective piece of legislation ever created
for this purpose-the Sherman anti
trust law-but it's efforts to so amend
the constitution as to enable the en-
actment of additional legislation, while
supported by all Republicans. was de
feated by Democratic votes in the Fif
ty-sixth congress, and thus the only
available method of assuring national
control of this subject was rejected by
the Democratic party. The fallacy of
the frequently repeated assertion that
trusts are the product of protection
is proved by a series of statements
which show the existence for many
low tariff countries.
The leading events of the three years
of President McKinley's administra-
tion are reviewed-the enactment of
the protective tariff, which was ac-
cOmplished more quickly than any
tariff legislation since WashingtOn's
first term; the enactment of the gold
standard law, the Pacific railroad set
Elements, the annexation of Hawaii
and the war with Spain and the re-
suits which followed. Conditions in
Cuba are discussed and the prepara-
tions for giving the island complete
independence outlined. The Porto
Rican legislation is reviewed. with the
assertion that the enactment of the
tariff law was for the best interests,
not alone for the citizens of Porto
Rico, who are the direct benefciaries
from the money so collected, but es-
pecially of labor in the United States,
which is thus assured that the Repuh-
lican party will insist upon its right
to legislate with reference TO the re-
lations of newly added territory ac-
cOrding to circumstances and require
mentS.
The so called issue Of imperialism
is answered with a series of historical
statements which show that the course
which the United States is following
in the Philippines and Porto Rico is
far more generous than that accorded
to people under similar conditions by
the Democratic party in the numerous
additions which it has made to the
territory Of the United States. The
existing conditions in the Philippines
will be changed when the insurrectiOn
shall be fully suppressed and congress
shall determine.
