The experienced fruit grower I'M
cess win come fom giving the trees
and plants he sets every opportunity to
get good start, hence he never con-
Germs himself about the crop except
as something he expects to have in the
future. The inexperienced, in setting
small fruit plants, keeps uppermoSt
in mind a possible crop the next sea
son, the one Immediately following
planting, and therefore his chief con-
Germ is to preserve all the growth the
plant has at the time of setting. Rasp-
berry and blackberry plants should DE
cut back close to the ground at the time
they are set, while currant and goose
berry plants may be safely cut back
at least one-half. With strawberry
plants, it pays to keep the blossoms
picked off the season directly follow
ing planting, unless, OF course. the
plants are those grown in pots and set
in midsummer for fruiting the follow
ing season. The amount of pruning
chat should be done on newly set trees
depends somewhat on the tree as re-
ceiyed. Peach trees are usually cut
back to a single whip. while the growth
on other trees is reduced from one
third to two-thirds, depending. as stat
ed, on the condition of the tree AT the
time it is received. This rigorous prun-
ing means that the tree or plant has

JAPANESE WORK BACKWARD.
Curious Habits of the Laborers In tn,
F1owery Kingdom.


According to the ideas of the new
world the Japanese do nearly every
thing back-handed, or jast the reverse
from what we work. The contrasts
between cur civilization and that of
Japan may be illustrated by giving
a list Of some of their everyday Gus
toms and ideas. For example, says
the Detroit Tribune, person who is
very fat is admired IL Japan. Wed
dings are celebrated at night; the
husband and wife DO not eat togeth-
er, as a rule; kissing and shaking
hands are practically unknown a
anese carpenters pull the plane toward
ward, is their mode Of Irritation. Jap
anese carpenters pull the plant toward
them; the threads of their screws
turn to the left; their keys turn in
ward. Small children are strapped
on the backs of larger ones, and SO
carried about; the japanese sit down
before distinguished men, in token of
respect; they remove their shoes when
they enter a house; their books be-
gin at the right and their footnotes
are placed at the top of the page; they
write vertically down sheet of pa
per; their color for mourning is white;
the best rooms in their house are In
the rear; they back a horse in a
stall and hitch him in the front-and
so these opposite ways Of doing things
might be continued. Another detail Of
difference lies in the fact that Japan
csc artists shade downward, while
we shade upward.

The Earth-Rnrn Moon.

Looking back through the mists of
time we see the moon ever drawing
nearer and nearer to the earth. Our
satellite now revolves at a distance of
100000 miles, but there was a time
when that distance was no more than
100000 miles. There was a time, mil
lions of years ago, no doubt, when
the moon was but 100000 miles away;
and as we look further and further
back we see the moon ever drawing
closer and closer to the earth, until
at last we discern the critical period
in earth-moon history when our globe
was spinning round in a period of
about FIVE or six hours. The moon, In
stead of revolving where we now find
1t, was then actually close to the
earth; earlier still it was, in fact,
touching our globe, and the moon and
the earth were revolving each around
the other. like football and tennis
ball actually fastened together.
1t is impossible to resist taking one
step further. We know that the
earth was, at that early period. soft
molten mass of matter, spinning round
rapidly. The speed seems TO have
been so great that rupture took place,
a portion of the molten matter broke
away from the parent globe. and the
fragments coalesced into a small globe.
That the moon was thus born of our
earth uncounted millions of years ago
is the lesson which mathematics de
clares it learns from the murmur of
the tides Sir Robert Ball in Book.

HousccIeaning Time.

housekeeping time is not period of
unalloyed pleasure on the farm. In
this matter the mode of attack de-
ponds very much upon circumstances,
and especially upon the size of the
house, the size of the family, as well
as the amount of help available. There
are so many things to be done in the
spring of the year that 1t is some
times impossible TO clean house accord
ing to any organized system. The la
bors of housekeeping can be much
lightened where rugs are used instead
of carpets. The taking up, shal.ing
and putting down of carpets Is a most
Iaborious task. 1t would seem that
people learn the lesson slowly that
rings are much more healthful. are less
expensive. are just as beautiful and
involve much less labor when the pc
Rod of housekeeping time comes
about. Men should not complain If
their lives are made miserable to the
extent of one week during the fifty
two. because the results Of. the turmoil
of housekeeping Justify the measures
generally used. There is a difference
of opinion as TO whether it is adj
visable to tear up the entire house at
one time or gradually do the cleaning
room by room.-Iowa Homestead

pocket. and his face changed from
night to morning as he read:
Dear Old Ken-I had curious idea

TWO BIRDS.

Two birds few out of the South one day,
And over the joyous world
Each flung melody loud and sweet
And gladly its tired wings furled.
And one bird high on the tallest tree
place for its nesting found,
While humbly the other built its home
Low down on the common ground.
A Shrike few by and 1t saw the nest
That swayed in the branches high,
But the low built nest of the humble
bird
He saw not and passed it by.
Which points the moral wish to show;
Though fortune has cast your lot
Low down in the world with the humble
ones,
The ills that strike at the mansion oft
pass over the humble cot

Covered-pail Fountains.

Chicks are drowned sometimes by
falling into large pals of water left
carelessly where they can find them.
But a large water dish is convenient
in hot weather, because the supply
lasts so long. and because it is more
easy TO fill than a fountain. A board
float on top with a small hole through
it will give the chickens a chance to
drink without drowning.
