Pruning Trees.

Too much pruning of a tree at one
time is not good thing for it. 1t weak
ems the tree and shortens it's life. When
it is first taken to it's permanent home
from the nursery, it will usually bear
some cutting back, especially if many
roots have been broken in taking up,
but we think even then many take off
more than they should. The desired
future shape of the tree, with high or
low branches, should always be kept
in mind and the limbs cut to bring this
out Then a little trimming Of super
fuous branches each year will keep
the tree in shape. If on coming to
bearing the fruit does not prove salts
factory or true to name, it is better to
graft about one-third Of it each year
for three years than to try to change
the whole top in one year, which may
result in loss of all the CRAFTS and
sometimes in the death of the tree, if it
Is not of a very vigorous kind.

Bran md Shorts.

When we speak Of shorts for stock
or poultry feeding. we mean that which
Is entitled to the name. We do not
mean bran that has been regrOund to
make it finer, and especially would we
avoid it if we thought that the cause
Of the regrinding was that the bran
had been wet, soured and caked up.
A few years ago Il neighbOr complain
ed to us that his COWS were not giving
their usual amount Of milk and were
growing lean and some of them were
sOuring badly. The ration he was feed
ing seemed to be in the right proper
tons, and his ensilage was good. After
examining all else we asked to see the
shorts, which he fed quite literally.
We saw it, we Smelled of it, and then
we tasted Of it. Although it looked
and smelled all right, the taste was
enough to reveal that it was as sour as
any pickle. All the good qualities had
been destroyed by overheating when
damp, and, while the regrinding had
reduced the caked Jumps and taken
away the sour smell, it had not restor-
ed the feeding value. And of that it
probably never had any more than
coarse bran and the sweepings Of the
mill that might have been added to it.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Docking Lambs.

Discussing the sheep department Of
the Iowa experiment station, G. P.
Reynolds says in The Drovers' Journal:
This treatment gets careful attention
at Ames. Commonly the lambs are
about two or three weeks old before
docking. The instrument used is a
knife with a sharp edge in the hands
of careful man. AS rule, the tail is
cut to a length of one and one-half
inches. The skin is carefully pulled up
before cutting, so that it will roll back
and more or less cover the wound and
thus hasten healing. The college has
experimental with various devices for
docking, and among others the hot
clippers, but has not found them prac-
ticabIe. The general assumption is that
a knife is good enough, if well handled,
and if there is anything better it would
be sharp chisel and block.
Not great deal of castration is done
at the college since the majority, if not
all, of the lambs produced are pure
bred and to considerable extent will
be used purely for breeding purposes.
When castrating is done, it is previous
to docking. Professor Kennedy adj
'gises that docking be delayed for day
or two after castration, and then, if
there are any signs Of inflammation,
the docking has a tendency to remove
the fever.

Chance to Make Good.

"The people have given the
Republican party chance to
make good" said President
X ,osevelt to a western visitor.
The remark was in reply to the
e.f1sive declaration that Mr..
K seve1t's own individuality
wat responsible for the victory
Oh Tuesday. Continuing, the
i',,' ,ident said he did not de-
himself with the impress
sion that the results of the cleo
ton meant that he would be
reelected two years from now,
or that at that time there would
be another vote of confidence
III the Republican porty. He
said that the result of the next
election depended entirely up
on what was done at Washing-
ton between now and that time
and not what was promised be-
fore the recent election. The
President vigorously stated
that he was convinced there
would be a reaction against
the Republican party if the
country was disappointed in
the Legislation and administra-
ton of the next year. He men
toned the fact that the prices
of commodities had risen more
rapidly than the price of labor
ond it would be the business of
the government to reduce the
first without lowering the sec
and. The President said that
it did not make so much politi-
cal difference what kind of
Laws were passed or what was
attempted as it did whether re-
suits were secured.

A MINED RECIPE.

A fashionable young lady visited a
cooking school the other afternoon,
where her attention was equally divided
between 4 new dress worn 10y an ac-
quainlancc and the directions for max
ing cake. Upon returning home she
undertook to write down the recipe for
making the cake for her mother, and
the old lady was paral. zed when she
read The following:
Take two pounds of -four, three
rows of plating down the front. the
whites of two eggs cut bias, pint of
milk rufiled round the neck, half pound
currants with seven yards of bead
trimming, grated lemon peel with
Spanish fichu; stir well, and add 4
semi-ftting palctot with vistc sleeves;
butter the pan with Braz lian topaz
neck lace, and garnish with icing and
passcmentarie. Bake in a moderately
hot oven until the skirt is tucked from
the wasit down on either side, and
finish with large satin roscttes.'
Her mother said she wouldn't eat
such cake, and she thought these
new tangled ideas in cooking ought to
be frowned down.

KEEP THE BALANCE UP.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance Of
health causes serious trouble. No
body can be too careful to keep this
balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite, or to get tired easily, the
least imprudence brings on sickness.
weakness, or debility. The system
needs tonic, Graves it, and should not
be denied it; and the best tonic of
which we have any knowledge is
Hoods Sarsaparila. What this medi-
cine has done in keeping healthy peo-
pie healthy, in keeping up the even
balance of health, gives it the same
distinction as preventive that it en-
Joys as cure. Its early use has Illus
trated the wisdom of the old saying
that a stitch in time saves nine. Take
Hoods for appetite, strength, and en-
durance.
