be done by putting fuel in stove late
and closing all hampers, two evap-

can be dried in a day and night. Put a
tablespoonful Of sulphur on the stove
for each tray of fruit, to bleach apples.
The boys and girls of the farm can run

peaches. Dry the pealings Of the ap-

THE FRUIT
II You Put Your Heart In 1t There
Ii No Reason Why 1t Shouldn't
BE n Success.

AS to location, start where you are,
locate near home. You can do just
as well, and enjoy the old home sur
roundings and friendships. You want
to live, as well as make money, and
the best life is in or heal the old home.
Grow the fruits that you like to care
for. 1t is what we put our hearts into
that brings the reward. Doubtless the
apple is the best fruit to grow, for it is
always wanted.
Plant the trees as closely as they will
stand to fruit well, say ten by ten feet,
then take out a part, later another part,
till the trees stand 40 by 40. This means
TOUR times as many apples at the
start, then twice as many; SO with
peaches. I believe in close planting,
but many planters have not the cour-
age to take out the superfuous trees
when the time comes. l have some
plum trees set with peaches nine by
nine feet, which will bear we'll lex sea-
son..
Prepare the land thoroughly, stir It
all through the season, and use cover
crops, il nothing more than weeds and
grass. Don't plant other crops; let the
orchard have the first and best. The
advocacy of orchards in sod is doing
harm. On the Eldwell farm in the Sac
ramento valley, California, worked with
gang plows, the yield of wheat is Is
bushels an acre. Nearby a woman
farmer works her land more thorough
ly with the best tools, and gets 81
bushels. She does not know enough
to vote, but she knows how to handle
the land. Prune for shape and a low
head. For vigorous growth, prune
when trees are dormant; for less vigor
prune in summer. When heavy growth
has ceased, cut out the strong leaders,
and the small branches will develop
fruit buds. Don't shorten it, but cut
out entirely. Then keep up vitality by
culture and fertilizing. Intelligent
treatment is most important. In spray
ing, never use bordeaux mixture after
the buds have swollen. Spray thorough
ly before; later, pick and burn all rotted
fruit. Thinning the fruit is not only
important for the immediate crop, but
tends to create the habit of annual
bearing. Thinning costs less than the
barreling and marketing of surplus
fruit at low prices.-J. II. Hale, in Prai-
RE Farmer.

The Boy and the Farm.

Teachers and farmers. teach the boys
and girls to be honest and upright in
every sense, but by all means teach
them to work. 1t won't hurt them to
do a little farm work. Send them to
college If you can, but let's keep all
the college boys and girls on the farm
that we can, and then the farmers in
terest will be looked after better. We
will have better schools, better
churches and better society. Insist on
trying to keep the boys on the farm
after they have received their educa-
ton. They can keep the farm books
and will lend an air of intelligence to
the town. We need more educated peo-
pie on the farms, when we will have
less boys and girls going to the cities
from the farms.-J. o. Gates, in Farm
and Home.

why Thinning Fruit Pays.

Thinning lessons the loss occasioned
by rot and other fungous diseases of the
fruit by eliminating the danger Of in
lection by contact. 1t also in a measure
prevents the appearance and the spread
Of disease by permitting better ventila-
ton and drying Of the fruit inside of the
tree. Thinning will produce a better
coiored fruit by admitting more sun
light into the tree. Thinning tends to
ripen up the fruit more uniformly. Thin
ming will produce a more salable and
higher priced fruit by reason Of the in
creas in size, higher color and general
appearance. Thinning will preserve the
shape Of the tree and prevent the break
Ing Of overloaded branches.-Prairie

Thomas Jefferson, Farmer.

Like Washington, Jefferson delight
ed in farming. ''The hope of the ma
tion," he wrote in his youth, 'lies
in the tillers of the soil" In his final
retirement at Monticello a guest adj
dressed him tremendously as "Presi-
dent Jefferson"
Farmer Jefferson" the distin-
guished statesman interposed; Il
would rather be Farmer Jefferson
than to have all the titles of Europe"
His g~arden-book, covering a period
of half a century, shows the precision
with which he farmed at Monticello.
Here, for example, is an excerpt from
his memoranda for July Of one year:
July 15-Cucumbers came to table;
planted out celery; sowed patch OF
peas for fall; planted snap beans.
July 22-Had the last dish of our
spring peas.
July S1-Had Irish potatoes from
the garden.

HOW TO GET GOOD ROADS.
of Mud Should Unite in a
Campaign for "a Principle,
Not for Details.

One great reason for the prevalence of
bad roads throughout the United States
is lack of agreement and united action
among the advocates Of improvement.
Everybody prefers goods roads to bad.
Everybody knows that the roads can be
improved only by the expenditure of
money and labor. But here the agree
ment ends. There is a great variety Of
ideas and schemes for securing the de-
sired object. There is no end of discus
sion, but very little is accomplished.
Some people would rather travel
through mud than to have the roads i'm
proved by any other plan than their own
pet scheme" Thus road reformers
themselves sometimes actually hinder
the u to which they are devoted.
If the roads of the country are to be
made good within the lifetime of the
present generation, it is high time the
advocates of good roads should unite in
support of a few general propositions.
and go to work in favor of a general
plan. If a national good roads movement
ever gets started, nothing can stop it. 1t
VIII sweep everything peIOTe II. But the
difficulty is to get it started.
One great advantage possessed by the
national aid plan, which is now becom-
ing SO popular, is that it is general in
stead of sectional or local. 1t is as broad
as the whole country. 1t can bring into
harmonious united action the friends of
good roads in every state, and it is the
only plan yet proposed that can do this.
The friends of national aid will make
a mistake if they undertake to work out
details in advance. They will disagree
among themselves and give objections
every advantage. They should go to
work for the general principle and leave
details to be worked out later. This
was the plan of action adopted by Glad
stone. When his opponents asked for
details of any great reform which he
advocated. Gladstone would answer:
There will be time enough to work out
the details when we get the power" The
advocates of national aid will do we'll
to emulate the example of this great
English statesman. They should or
ganize everywhere and fight for the prin-
ciple, leaving details to be worked out in
due time.

terror Of Europe than here. A boy could
manage the motive power, and otherwise
inaccessible slopes of land, highly suit
able for special crops can be well cult
waited. The horse is considerable of a
nuisance anyway on land closely plant
ed with valuable fruit crops, however
necessary he may be for extended agri-
cultural operations, and it is possible to
imagine some such contrivance, utiliz-
ing the power of a gasoline or other
easily managed engine, as a great con
venience in the intensive culture of
choice, closely planted crops, in level
places as well as hillsides. The horse
takes a good deal of room, he is not
careful OF valuable plants, and the pack
ing of the soil by his feet is not always
beneficial. Many truckers and growers
OF high-grade fruits would doubtless
welcome a practical device that would
dispense with a horse in the row while
utilizing horsepower tools for cultiva-
tion.-Rural New Yorker.

-Qyerreachinu Pat.

An English tourist on his arrival
at Dublin hired an Irish cabby to take
him and his baggage to n of the
principal hotels. When he arrived at
his destination he gave the driver half

supreme contempt and asked him what

"That is your fare" said the Eng

At this juncture the Irishman be-
came so violent and abusive that the
tourist threatened to take his name

The Englishman took out his note

yards where the land is stacked up on it's

We often see farmers who feel that
they have outgrown a small farm, and
they sell to buy a bigger one. 1t is al
together probable that such men have
not thought about doubling the yield
instead Of doubling the acres. Doubling
the acres can doubling the capital,
while doubling the yield Of the old
means the same capital and doubling
the income. The possibilities Of the

The Republican party was in the
saddle and riding rough shod over the
PROSTATE South. Treason was odious.
Loyalty was profitable. Butler and
