puzzle which is going the rounds of the

looks: A man bought IS cents worth of
fruit cans; he gave the clerk dollar and
she gave him back IS cents. A little
while after, the man told the clerk he
had given her bad dollar and if she
would give it back to him he would give
her good money in return. She gave
him the bogus dollar and he gave her
two 5O-cent pieces. Now the proprietor
ofthe store claims he was beaten in the
deal. and others think the man with the
bogus dollar lost SO cents. How do you
figure it out? Did either lose anything,
if so, which one and how much?

lated by the indianapolis Press: Miss
Violet Florida Waters, in the amateur per
formance by the Histrion club of Camille
last night displayed an ability and marvel
GUS command of stage technique that many
q professional might envy. 1t is safe to pre-
dict for this gifted youpng lady that if she
ever choose TO. adopt the stage as a career
her name will become one of the famous
ones in dramatic history"
From the Daily Grind, May IL, 1000;
The Plugalong repertoire company opened
at the opera house last night in Camille.
Seldom has the dear old chestnut been SC
badly done-the worst offender being Violet
Florida Waters, who punched holes in the
title role and frazzled its edges in a manner
that plainly showed her to need years and
years of training before she will be fit to be
anything better than a back row ornament
in an amateur show-let alone scale the
proud heights of the drama at ten-twent
thirt. Miss Waters is FROST"

THINNING OUT FRUITS.
Really satisfactory Results Are
To he Obtained.

The average farmer pays little or
no attention TO thinning fruit. If the
tree is overloaded, so that the limbs
bend almost to the breaking point,
some will set props under the limbs
10 keep them from breaking entirely
down, while others more careless will
let the limbs break off. They may
complain of the size and quality of
the fruit when il is harvested, but
few think it necessary or will take
the trouble to thin out il good sea-
son, and thereby not only save the
trees, but secure fruit of much bet
ter quality. In nearly all cases a
tree making a thrifty growth will, if
left unmolested set more fruit than
under ordinary conditions it should
be allowed to mature. In fact, one
cause, though not the only one, of
trees failing to bear is on account of
lowering the vitality to such an eX.
tent that the tree is incapable of
bearing the next year.
Thinning can be done to an advan-
tagc where fruit of good size and
quality is desired. But if anything
like satisfactory results are secured
it must be done in good season, rea-
sonably soon after the fruit sets.
The larger the fruit is allowed to
become before thinning the greater
the drain upon the tree and the less
good will result.
1t of course seems troublesome to
go to fruit trees and take off from
one-fourth to one-half the specimens,
selecting those that are too close to,
gether and that are the least promis,
ing, yet when there is full crop and
uniform choice fruit is desired, thin
ming becomes necessary. And when
it is to be done advantage should be
taken of the first favorable opportun-
ity for doing the work. Peaches, pears
and grapes especially can be thinned
to an advantage, and in many cases
apples also.-N. j. Shepherd, in Farm
ers' Voice.

SQUASH VINE BoRER.

plant squashes on the same ground in
successive years. Plant as early as
possible few hills of early squashes
to serve as traps. Harrow lightly in
tested squash field in the fall so as to
bring the cocoons to the surface; then
plow six inches deep in spring. When
the vines are of good size, cover part
of them with earth so that secondary
roots will be sent out. Vines badly in
tested should be taken up at once and
burned. Cut out the borers and kill

TRANspLANTED TREES.
They Require More Care and watch.
ing Than Most Farmers Arc In
clined to Give Them.

Enough cannot be said in favor of
mulching trees as soon as they are
planted. 1t is all important to protect
the roots from the effect of evapora-
tion for at least six months after plant
ing. The small fbers must be allowed
TO form and get good hold of the soil,
and large feeding roots must be able
to reach out, so as to make SIRE of q
supply of food and drink for the growth
that takes place in limbo. 1t is not
enough to pour on water from above.
This, of course, must be done in very
dry weather, but an irregular supply
of this sort does not meet the demands
of the roots. Cover the soil so far as
it has been disturbed by the spade with
a layer of three or four inches of coal
ashes, or sawdust, or loose strawy
manure. Avoid using rich and raw
manure. Tanbark is in some cases
available, and where nothing else can
be obtained use weeds or fresh cut hay.
This application will retain the mois-
ture in the SOIL and, what is equally
important, will keep the roots at an
equalized temperature. Without a
mulch, the more you pour on water
the more liable the ground is to bak-
ing and becoming 'impervious to a
natural circulation of moisture. Above
all, avoid sprinkling the soil with a
slight supply of water.
The care of trees. for the first year
after setting, consists in pinching out
every bud that starts out of place. Be-
sides keeping out the superfuous
shoots, in October cut back the years
growth one-third 10 one-half. Some
people advocate pinching in the growth,
during summer, in order to retard the
flow of sap and hasten the formation of
fruit buds. This can be done, but in the
production of healthy, long lived trees
it is unwise. By following these simple
rules anyone can make a success of tree
planting. 1t is very seldom that trees
come from any nursery in such con-
dition that they will not thrive under
this management,-N. Y. Tribune.

How to Make Grating Wax.

To make grating wax take one
pound of tallow, two pounds of bees
wax and four pounds of resin. Slowly
melt all, stir well, and when partially
cooled pour into pans which have been
moistened or oiled to keep the wax from
clinging too tightly to them. When
thoroughly cold break into convenient
pieces. For use it should be applied
carefully over all exposed cuts and open
cracks around the gratis. A small
paint brush is most convenient for this
purpose. 1t can be safely applied much
warmer than can be borne by the hand,
but care should be used not to have it
very closely approaching the boiling
point of water.

SHEEP IN ORCHARDS.
As Insect Destroyers They Are Far
More Reliable and Emcacious
Than the Pigs

I agree that when pig gets an
apple containing worm there is no
danger that that worm will ever
cause any damage to the future ap-
pie crop. But as an insect destroyer
the pig is nowhere with the sheep.
The trouble with the pig is that it is
too much like man; when it lies
down and goes to sleep it is oblivious
of all it's surroundings. 1t sleeps
just as soundly and snores just as
loud as it's human cousin, and when
an apple drops it doesn't hear it or
go for it until its sleep is out. The
instinct of the worm teaches it to
get out of the apple just as quickly as
possible after it drops. l have stood
and watched an apple after it struck
the ground, and seen the worm come
hustling out in hurry and go for
some secure place, and before the pig
gets the apple the worm is III some
safe hiding place. Not so the
sheep; they never sleep so soundly
but they will hear an apple falling
rods away, and they are up and there
before the worm can get out, and
that worm is travelling to that bourne
whence no worm ever comes back to
curse the apple grower. Yes, pigs
are good, but sheep are hundred
times better.-J. S. Woodward, in
Rural New Yorker.

Pboat from Small Farms.

Small farms can be made to com
bine many advantages. Some poul-
trymen grow plums in the poultry
yards, and also keep bees. Others
grow early vegetables under glass, and
also grow two or three crops in the
open ground. One gardener near Phil
adelphia makes large profit on four
acres, on which he grows only lima
beans. Another makes peas spe-
cialty, following the peas with late
