used August Flower to clean out the

liver, stimulate the nerves and organic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad

Summer Pruning the Peach

one hundred ana ten peach trees, III
twelve varieties, were planted in the
University fruit farm last spring, and
they have been given their first prun-
ing during the past week. The trees
were set on the summit and the north
orn slopes of ridge, on land cleared of
heavy second growth timber in March.
Every tree has grown we'll, the average
length of the new shoots being over
twelve inches. The trees when receiy-
ed were one year old, four to six feet
high with few laterals. They were
cut back when set. to from two and u
half to three feet. Many buds had
been rubbed off in packing, so the trees
were left longer than they would have
been otherwise.
In the first pruning it was determin-
ed to test two methods of peach train
ing, differing only in the length of the
trunk. Part of the trees have been
left with trunks thirty inches long and
part have had the crown start within %
foot of the ground. In all, the new
growth has been thinned to from four
to six branch, all others being entirely
removed In thinning ont the new
growth care has been taken to have the
branches left well disposed, giving to
each as much space in the trees cil-
conference as possible LII this way
the symetry Of the tree is preserved
and the best possible distribution of
light is secured in the crown 1t is be-
lieved that low headed trees are best,
but there is more danger of SUI scald
on the main limbs in low open heads
than in the more compact form with
longer trunk. However, the skillful
grower will avoid the danger of sun
scald by not opening the crown too
much, just as he will avoid the danger
of uncolored fruit in the center of the
tree which results from too little hight
The particular lesson to be impressed
upon the owner of the newly planted
peach orchard is this: Now is the
time to form the head of the tree; it is
best done by taking out all branches
not needed, thus putting.all energies of
the tree into the development of what
are to be the main limbs the frame
work. BE careful that these limbs
radiate so that each has plenty of room
for its branches, and if any of them
are very strong, making the tree one
sided, pinch their ends so the remain
ing ones can overtake them. See that
the limbs to be retained have q good
strong union with the trunk OF the
tree, 1t is well not to have the limbs
start close together, for in fruiting time
such tress are much more apt to split
than when the branches are distributed
along the trunk. Let the new growth
be thinned at once, no matter what
form may be chosen for the trees

What One Woman Thinks.

Have you ever thought low seldom
we laugh?
These who are always seeking praise
rarely get it.
Women who have plenty to occupy
their minds seldom gossip.
Statistics show that women marry
later in life than they used to.
Most women have pet theories as to,
what the ideal man should be like
The girl who can be agreeable with,
the toothache has an ideal disposition
1t is one man in hundred who luts
on belt with negligee shirt that ever
gets it in the right place.
The principal occupation of the
housewife during the past few days
has been fixing windows for thunder
storms.
Many a girl who looks as though She
were fighting against some secret sor-
row is only suffering from a soft corn.

LIFELONG
Republican Breaks Away From the G.
q y


Washington, July 13. The Hon. L.
W. Habercom, chief the republican
german press bureau and formerly
fifth auditor of the treasury depart
ment under Harrison, tonight an
nounced his withdrawal from the re-
publican party and rendered his resig-
nation to the republican congressional
committee. Mr.. Habercom says that
the republicans are trying to use the
1G-to-1 plank to scare capitalists into
contributing to the campaign fund,
when they know full we'll that it is not
the issue between the parties He be-
lieves the great issue to be imperialism
and as true American he cannot ac-
cept the ultra ideas of Mckinley and
his advisers on the question. He
further believes that the only expan-
sion policy for this county is expansion
on the American continent
The secret alliance of the Admins
tration with England has forced this
country to support her abroad, which
is against the spirit of Americanism and
has the tendency to produce situations
where it becomes apparently necessary
for the exercise of the "one-mau'
power in the administration of the at
fairs of our government, thus slowly
but surely steering the country into
the current that will land the ship o
state on the shore of monarchical insti
tutions.
Mr.. Habercom has been a lifelong
republican and is at present residing
at Hayattsville, Md His desertion o
the republican party occasioned grea
surprise here, as he has always hereto
fore been an active party worker.
