MAKING OVER OLD TREES

we are building over some thrifty
7-year-old apple trees this spring-some
trees which we bought. planted and
cared for in good faith, supposing them
to be of certain desired varieties. but
which proved when they fruited to be
utterly worthless mavericks. We find
that 1t is a slow and tedious lob to
build over these trees = in fact. the
work cannot be all done in one season,
when had the grating been done when
the trees were 2-year-olds the graft
would have done the work and given
US good trees. This nicely illustrates
the process of rebuilding the habits
and character of a matured man when
an attempt is made to reform him. The
work is slow and cannot all be done at
once, when had he been taken in hand
as a boy it would have been an easy
matter

If you and your goodwife are 50
past and you are out of debt and the
owner of a good farm, you just sens-
bly, plan to take life a little easier from
now on. While you do not want to
quit work entirely, that being about
the worst thing you could do, plan
TO shift the load Of work and worry
on to younger shoulders and do just
so much as you feel like doing and no
more. 1t is very poor policy to work
% years to make $4,000 and then have
to spend good share of it for doctors
bills and trips TO sanitariums,
Frequent cultivation not only makes
the care of the garden easy, but Won
derfully stimulates the growth of all
garden products.

About 100 new creameries are to be
started in the state of Minnesota the
coming season. a new creamery costs
from $500 to $4,000 and should be
started only where there is at least
400 cows in sight tributary to it and
with community and conditions
which will permit of an increase of
this number up to 1000. Probably the
same mistake will there be made as in
Iowa and Wisconsin of establishing
creameries in localities before the cows
were in sight and before the people as
a whole We're ready to take up the
dairy business.

The wonderful oilfeld developed in
Texas will rank as the most remark
able discovery of oil ever made, not
excepting even the great wells of Baku
on the Caspian sea. Eight wells at
Beaumont have already been drilled,

kind, having capacity of from 10000
to 10000 barrels per day. What to do
with this oil Is now the problem, as it
seems to have no use at present out

The question of help in the house
for the farmers wife is one of the
most serious problems connected with
the management of the farm. The
work in the farm home is so perfectly
merclless and ever present during the
crop season, so closely associated with
the actual work of the farm, that when
the wife and mother is not equal to
the burden imposed upon her it be-
comes most serious matter Three
meals day, and pretty good ones at
that, must somehow be got up, for
hired men will not stand cold snacks
or picked Up lunches. Help for the
wife is hard to get and becomes more
so each year. Now. there are a few
things which any man can do. If he
has not already secured them. which
will greatly Tighten the work in the
home. These may be named as fol
lows: A supply of soft and hard water
to be obtained without work, plenty of
dry fuel easy of access. a well supplied
vegetable and fruit garden to draw
upon for supplies. hard wood floor in
the kitchen. a modern range or oil
stove to cook with, generous supply
of kitchen utensils. 1t will cost far
less to procure these things than it will
to chase around after a hired girl and
pay her wages or pay doctors bill.
The wife is by every right entitled to
just as much modern equipment and
conveniences in the kitchen as her
husband is in the conduct of the farm
work, and she should not have to ask
for these things either
