THINNING FRUIT.

1t seems to require a good deal
of nerve to thin fruit AS it should
be done. Aud yet it pays we'll to
do it. The Farmers Guide says :
The timely aud proper thinning
OF the fruit on the orchard trees is
matter (which should receive far
more attention than it does. The
peach men in Michigan. Delaware
and Georgia and the orange and
prune men of the western coast are
well up on the Importance of this
matter, bat the majority of fruit
raisers other than these named pay
little or no attention to it. In any
season when the apple or plum
tree sets very full of fruit and the
same is not thinned out by frost or
insect or by natural means then
the tree should be attended to.
Such crops of fruit allowed to ma
ture are always of inferior quality
and nudersIzad aud often unstable
while the hearing Of such y crop is
most fearful drain upon lie vital
ity of the tree. Man never inter
feres with the operation of natural
Law with more benefit to himself

No truer saying was ever ut
tered than "a boys best friend is
his mother, +" and the boy who has
the least spark of feeling in him
learns sooner or later that this is
true. AS a boy grows into man
hood he NAV form other ties very
near and dear to him, but it is sell
dom the ease that he finds one that
will stick as closely us a mother.
He may fall from a shining star in
the world around him to the filth
and mire of the streets where
others pass him by as an unclean
thing, but he never brings SO much
disgrace upon himself and family
that the mothers arm will not
twiue about aud try to lift him up.
Boys. be kind to your mother, for
there will come a time when every
disobedient act, every unkind word
spoken to her will pierce your
heart like a thousand arrows.

the army appropriation bill that has

ing round hundred millions OF
dollars for the army next year
That sum is more than four times
as much as was annually appro-
priated for the army for the SIX
wears from 1894 to 1899 inclusive.
1t is indeed $50, 000, 900 more than
was appropriated for it for 1900 to
cover the military of our war with
Spain. 1t illustrates the perma
nent and increasing cost of imper-
ial policies by arrayiug large arm
les thousands of miles away from
our shores. This military display
does not benefit the Americans. it
does not help the Philippines nor
advance civilization or Christianity.
1t means the prolongation of war,
