No Wlliskey for Bolar.

in the Bath County Enterprise
Of the Goth, Mr.. Geo. L. Eakle who
applied for license to sell whiskey
at Bolar. makes he following state
ment:
"But as I find that a number Of
the best people are averse to spirits
in any form being sold, by any one
at Bolar, I assent to their wishes rs
freely as proposed it, and shall for
their sake so 10 farther in the mat
ter"
We are confident that Mr.. Eakle
will never regret the step. He has
been influenced by, as he terms it,
a number of the best people which
SHOWS manly trait in that he was
willing to be advised by the best
element Of his neighborhocd. The
incident proves that it is always
wise for good people to publicly
condemn what tEey consider to be
an evil.

very sensible view f the matter by
adopting a resolution which directs
that in al districts where there i a
slow for the republicans being sue
cess;ui they should put the best
man Of their party in the field and
run him. but in districts decidedly
democratic the resolution directs
that the republicans of snch dis

WHEN AND HOW TO PRUNE.
In the summer MOnths-With Short
stub and Pcrpendicular Cut.

All persons familiar with bircheS
and naples know that if any limbs are
taken from them in the late winter or
spring time the stubs will bleed freely
for n number of weeks, and if such
limbs are large ones they seldom heal
over before decay has commenced in
them. Apple and pear trees will bleed
more or less when pruned at the same
seasons of the year, and for that reason
no pruning when large limbs are to be
taken off should be done at that time Of
the year
When pruning is done during the
three midsummer months, the stubs
commence to heal over quite soon, and
they can be painted within a few days
after pruning if the weather is warm
and dry, which cannot be done and
have the paint hold If the pruning is
done before the bleeding has ceased to
flow. During the summer months the
sap is thickening for the making of
new wood and is largely near the bark
and not in the older wood of the trees.
Trees that are pruned in the spring
are from one to two years longer in
healing than if pruned in summer, and
that fact is of great Importance when
the life and health of the trees are TAX
en- into consideration.
Now. how should tree be pruned?
Should the stubs be left long or short
or with as little wood as the circum-
stances will permit? Any person who
has taken much notice of how others
have pruned as we'll as his own work
has noticed that the longer the stubs
are left the longer they are in healing
over and in many cases they never
heal over, but dry up or decay which
in many cases is the beginning of the
decay and death of the tree.
One other error in pruning is often
made in not saving the limbs off as
nearly as possible perpendicular with
the body of the trees or the larger
limbs from which they are taken. BY
taking off the limbs perpendcularly
rather than horizontally, more or less,
the lower parts of the stub or wound
will heal over nearly or quite as soon
as the upper part, concludes writer in
Country Gentleman.

pended III front Of their coops three
times per day all they can eat of a thin
mash composed Of finely ground oats
mixed with half water and half milk
During the second week the water is
gradually replaced by milk.
AT end OF second week little fat is
melted III the hot milk and mixed in the
food.
AT end of second week, perhaps a
short time before, the birds do not eat
as rapidly as they did. and the cram
mer," or forcing machine, is called into
requiSition.
The ration as used in the "crammer"
is ground oats and skimmilk. sweet or
sour the latter preferred, to which is
added fat GalluW in most cases in pro-
portion of a tablespoonful TO each bird.
The mixture as used in the cram
mcr' is of the consistency of cruel or
thin porridge.
The same authority also says that
the feeders" should be kept going Cby
hand feeding as long as they continue
to put on weight. \ bird should never
be placed on the "crammer" SO long as
it eats heartily. Experience has shown
that after ten days or a fortnight most
birds will not take enough food volun-
tarily to make weight. 1t is then that
the forcing machine is brought into
requisitiOn.
English fattcners prefer finely ground
oats to any other kind of ground grain
Ground barley has been found too heat
ing. Cornmcal puts OH yellow fat and
tends to give tinge of that color to
the skin, which is very Objectionable to
the English buyer. In the United
States a yellow skin is rather prefer
red, while it seems a matter of indiffer-
encc to Canadian purchasers.
The birds are not allowed any food
for 24 hours before being killed. The
object is to have no food in the crop to
decompoSe.

JUDGING WITH DEEP DRAWN BREATH.
soon after the COWS are MIXED the vol
atile oils to which these odors are
due will generally disappear from the
animals system before the next morn
ing or evening.
Too often the old COW takes the blame
for mans fault. When the owner de-
livers milk to the factory and is told
that it "smcls bad" he forgets that he
or his men LET it stand in the unclean-
ed stable to draw in the "cowy" ana
worse odors or that they poured it into
pals that lacked a little of perfect
sweetness, and he Immediately says,
Eve got to stop feeding slagc," The
cows ate some cabbage trimmings last
night" or "Some one forgot to close
the ryelield gate"
The odors due To volatile compounds
in the milk are of most Importance in
milk and cream. as the faults largely
disappear in making butter and cheese.
Thorough aeration is often helpful in
the removal of such tiavors.
Odors due to bacteria, moldS and
yeasts which set up chemical changes
in the milk later are not observed in
freshly drawn milk. \ high tempera-
ture, however, is favorable to growth
of these low forms of plant life, so in
warm weather milk faults are COM
mon.

Pure white soap, such as is used for
ordinary household purposes, is the lat

ROOT ROT OF TREES.
1t Occurs In Orchards Planted on
Recently Cleared Timber Land.

1t Occurs In Orchards Planted on
Recently Cleared Timber Land.
\ serious root rot has destroyed
many fruit trees in oklahoma. and it
has also been noticed in other regions.
From a recent bulletin of the territory
it appears that the disease is confined
TO lands that have been cleared of tim
Der before planting to fruit trees. Per-
hapS the most characteristic effect of
the attacks of this fungus is the great
emulation of gum about and from the
crown of the diseased trees. 1t fire.
Quently happens that the amount of
this gum to eXude is so great that it
unites with the soil about the base of
the tree TO such an extent as to form a
mass of cemented soil about the trunk.
The yellow celebration of the leaves
is usually one of the prominent symp-
toms of the disease. In many cases,
however, the leaves wilt rapidly during
the growing season instead of becom-
ing yellow.
Subterrancan mycelial strands pro-
duced by this disease will grow out in
the soil to a considerable distance from
the tree. sometimes ten feet.
Among the strictly remedial meas
ureS none is of greater Importance
than the isolation of diseased trees by
ditching. If single tree in the middle
of the orchard is found to be diseased,
a ditch should at once be dug around
it to prevent if possible the further
spread of the disease by the subter-
rancan myceial strands. This ditch
should be dug at a distance of about
ten feet from the tree-i. e. with a
diameter of about 20 feet. The ditch
should be about one foot wide and
about two feet deep with vertical
walls.
1t cannot too strongly be insisted
upon that all fruit trees that are found
to be diseased should at once be re-
moved from the orchard Care must
be taken in such cases to remove and
burn not only the trunk, but all the
larger roots and especially all those dis
eased.
Old oak stumps or even dead oak
roots remaining in the soil are apt to
become fertile sources of the infection
of the healthy trees planted in that
same soil. From the above it follows
that it is the part of wisdom to remove
all old oak stumps from the orchard
and to dig up all roots of such trees re-
naming in the soil. These should be
carefully burned and in no case allow
ed to remain on the surface of the soil.

1t seems strange to me that so many
will recommend planting the main crop
in the early spring 1t is all right to
plant limited amount early, but for
the main crop we have found it best to
plant from the LIST to the 10th of June.
This may look late to n great many,
but the finest potatoes we ever raised
grew where we plowed up a strawber-
ry patch, after it had fruited, and
planted it the 25th of June However.
| do not recommend as late planting as
that, neither do | favor blowing the
ground and planting ut once. To be
certain of good late crop the ground
should be well underdraned, either
naturally or artiticially, should be
clover sod and plowed early, that it
may become settled before planting
time and retain the moisture.-Cor. Ma
tional Stockman.
