ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Apple trees one year old, if properly
grown, are usually the right size for
root grating.
There is hardly a crop in the garden
or orchard that will not be benefited by
an application Of wood ashes.
The advantage in fall planting Of
trees is that there is usually more time
to do the work and the trees get better
settled into position.
Herbaceous perennials may be in
creased at this season by dividing the
roots and planting them separately.
mulching well before winter.
Sheet zinc cut in the form Of a long.
tapering wedge makes the best cheap
label. 1t is indestructible, easily ap-
piled and will not injure the tree.
One advantage in pruning before the
leaves fall is that one can readily pick
out the diseased limbs by the leaves
which are not so thrifty in appearance.
The sooner red and black raspberries.

A brusque American once asked the

French finally took Puebla?"
President Diaz. with a twinkle in his

told that the British defeated the col

Now Prepare For Winter.

I'm time of peace prepare for war"
In summer prepare for winter. Pre-
pairing for winter means more than fill
ing the coal bins and providing other
material necessities. One of the main
considerations in winter is how to
keep warm. Ones personal comfort de-
ponds as much on the condition of the
blood within as it does on the state of
the weather without. Warm blood is
the cheapest and best fuel known. A
good stock of health is even more es-
sential than full bin of coal. Now is
a good time to lay in a stock Of health
for use during the more or less shut in
months OF winter. The autumn months
are just right for taking plenty of ac-
tive exercise. Those who are not per-
mitted to play golf or tennis can saw
wood in the back yard or walk around
the block. Tune up mind and body for
the coming of winter. Because one is
tired is no reason why he should not
take some other kind of exercise. We
do not need rest half so much as we
need recreative work Get ready for
