LOW-HEADED TREES.
why They Are Preferred by Modern
Fruit Growers who Are OPP
posed to Pruning.

For several reasons low-headed
fruit trees are 10 be preferred. They
resist wind better, the fruit is more
easily gathered and the bark insect,
which lays its eggs on tue bare trunk
to be Matched out by the warm sun
shine, is headed IF. Then there is
less danger of sun 'scald, as the
branches spreading out, in measure
at least, shade the trunk.
BY cutting out the top during the
early stages of growth in a majority
of cases a Bw-spreading growth may
be readily secured.
Some of our best growers are now
advocating no pruning. There is no
question but that in many cases much
harm is done to a good tree by over
pruning, and on this account is a
choice between no pruning and the
serious injury resulting from over
pruning. No pruning is rather the
better plan. One advantage claimed
for not pruning is that there will be
no water sprouts. While pruning to
some extent seems necessary in order
to get rid of crossing or trailing
limb, yet care is necessary not to
prune too severely.
1t is of course best to remove all
dead or diseased wood whenever no.
ticed, but with care taken to supply
conditions favorable to a thrifty, Wig
orous growth, this can be reduced to
a minimum. Certain it is that no
limb or branch should be removed
without a good reason. Better not
prune than to cut unnecessarily. One
grower claims that ali that is neces-
sary when the desired height is Sc
cured is to pinch off the top bud OF
the center stem of the tree and then
let further pruning alone.
The only possible objection to a
low-headed tree is that after a good
growth has been secured it is difficult
to cultivate close up under the tree,
but generally after a 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.-N. j. Shepherd, in
Farmers Voice.

IMPROVED STANCHION.
IT, Designer Thinks 1t Is More Scrv-
icenble Than Most of the Pat
terms Heretofore Shown.

My plan of making 81 COW stanch-
ion, shown in the accompanying illus
tration, is, think, simpler than any
that has been presented to your read
ers. The bottom piece, a, has by 4
mortiscd so that it will fit the bottom
of the stanchon post, b. These posts
are tapering toward the top, as they
look better and are just as storing.
The top piece of the stanchion is made
of two 2X4's between which the tops of
the uprights are placed. Let the fixed
stanchion extend through and beyond
the piece d. Let the loose stanchion,
b, extend one-half inch above d.

The cows tail doesn't bother a GER
tain Holstein dairyman while milking.
Stepping in his stables, noticed that
just out of reach of my hat, about seven
feet from the floor, above the cows
hips, No. 0 wire, drawn tight, ran
the whole length of the stable. On
this, in the rear of each stall, was a
small ring or a harness clasp, from
which hung a stout cord attached at
its lower end to the cows tail at about
the point where the brush or long hair
begins. This cord was long enough to
allow the animal to switch with com
fort. The device answers the purpose,
but the sight of stable full of cows
with pompadour tails is sure to pro-
woke a smile.-M. G. Kains, in Farm
and Home

shall be kept in good condition;
fourth, better prices to farmers for
produce. by being in closer touch with
the market; fifth, educational adyan-
tages.
And these are only a few of the
benefits which wideawake country
people can readily see for themselves
will accrue to them from a free daily
mail.
Deprived of many social privileges,
country people depend more upon
their reading matter to keep in touch
with the spirit of the times, than do
their city neighbors, who may depend
more upon the daily association with
their fellowmen to keep them up to
date.
And with new and improved farm
machinery comes more leisure to the
farmer for reading and study, and
with the improved conditions a great
err desire for mental Development and
a realization that self-culture is their
only salvation from growing rusty
and falling down intellectually.
1t is true that many farmers think
it is not worth while to take many
papers and magazines when they can
get their mail only once or twice a
week, and the accumulation of read
ing matter becomes stale and unprofit-
able but Il daily delivery would soon
change this feature of the case, for nc
class of people feel the need of keep
ing in touch with the outside world
through the medium of the press
more than those who reside in iso-
lated farm communities.
The Independent farm telephone is
with us, and with free mail delivery
the isolation of farm life, of which we
hear so much, would be a thing of the
past, and farm people who live up to
their privileges will be enabled to
keep up with the possession in this
progressive age, and also receive some
substantial benefits from the federal
government, of which they are now
deprived. And should congress see fit
to shut out all matter of a fraudulent
type from the mails, millions of dol
lars would be saved to the government
for free rural elivery.-Lizzy Clarke
Hardy, in National Rural.

THE CARE OF COWS.

A defect or disease of the udder or
teats, as gargety condition, is, in my
experience, apt to grow worse with
age.
A naturally good COW, if she has had
rough usage, will be played out in a
tactical sense when she is eight or nine
years old.
Some originally simple injury to the
udder, such as a confusion or infamma-
ton following retention of milk at
calving, may later form the indus for
specific infection.
tuberculosis in the lungs of mich
cattle is bad enough, but in the gland
ular udder it is hundred times more
dangerous to consumers of milk, but
ter and heese.-American Cultivator.

Potassium sulphide has been found
to be the best spray to use on the
gooseberry to prevent mildew. The
Geneva On. " station has been at
work on this problem for some years
and has obtained the above result.
However, the use of this chemical does
rot entirely prevent the mildew, and
the percentage of fruit lost is still
large. The work along this line may
yet give us results that will make it
possible for us to successfully grow
the English gooseberry, which is the
kind that is most seriously affected By
mildew, but is the kind, also, that is
of most value to American growsrs.--

IMPROVED COW sTANCHIoN

Just them so that when the movable
pieces are pulled to the left the latch,
c, will just hold the loose stanchion
shut. Let the latch beyond the notch
be long enough so that when the NOV
able piece, e, is pulled to the right the
latch will not drop upon the stanchion,
as shown by the dotted line at C. At
tach the lever, f, to the movable piece,
e. If it is desirable to let out any in
dividual COW and keep in the others,
the latch can be raised without disturb
ing the others. If it is desirable to
keep in any particular cow and remove
the others, take out the pin at 6, place
it at h and that COW must remain in.
The small circles in the illustration on
d represent the places for these pins.

have a fixed piece of the stanchion
about one-eighth of an inch thicker
than the one that is loose. This per-
mits the movable one to move easily.

L.
The Hague. Dec. 1.-THE Dutch gov
eminent to-day finally and definitely
refused TO take the initiative in behalf
of arbitration between the TransvaaI
and Great Britain. The decision OF
the government was communicated in
an interview between Mr. Kruger and
Or. Leyds on one side and the Dutch
foreign minister and the Minister of
Finance, y. G.. Pierson, on the other.
Mr.. Kruger explained that the object
of his journey was to disseminate the
ides. of arbitration, and the Dutch
minister replied that the rule OF the
Netherlands must be passive. The ini-
tiative belonged to the great powers
they added. When the powers had
reached decision the Dutch govern.
ment might see what It could do.

scholars fixed for tonight has been
