Scale Bark on Fruit Trees,

The gradual thickening of bark on
trees is often objected to as an evidence
Of unthriftiness. But it almost always
comes on trees when they get to be of
bearing age, and, except for harboring
the cocoons of the cooling moth, it does
no harm. Scraping this bark off through
the winter removes the protection, and
the cocoon, exposed to snow and rain,
perishes. These cocoons will be usually
found on the side opposite where the
prevailing wind blows. as this is partly
protected against beating rains. Only
the bark that readily comes off should
be removed. Scraping the trunk down
to the green bark will cause some kinds
of trees to sun scald, and is injurious.
Make the tree grow vigorously, and the
rough bark will roll off of itself or with
very little effort-American Cultiyator.

PROUD OF THE GOVT.
Some Persons Who Have the Com
plant Think That 1t Argues
for High Living.

"Gout is the most fashionable of all
the diseases" said prominent doctor,
reports the Philadelphia Record. In
spite of the pain and inconvenience &C
companying it, the majority Of my equity
patients are inclined to be proud of
their affection. l look upon the popu-
larity of the disease as the result of it's
associations. Ancient Greek physicians
of the fourteenth century were the first
to use the term govt and they attrib-
uted the disease to overindulgence and
luxury. In the works of the early
Greek writer's the word is frequently
used, particularly in Ovid and Pliny,
and Seneca in his ninety-ffth epistle
mentions the prevalence of govt among
the Roman ladies of his day as one Of
the results of high living. Sir Thomas
Watson says: The instances are not
few of men of good sense, and masters
of themselves, who, being warned by
one visitation of the govt, have thence
forward resolutely abstained from rich
living and from wine and strong drinks
of all kinds, and who have been reward
ed for their prudence and self-denial by
complete immunity from any return Of
the disease, or upon whom, at any rate,
its future assaults have been few and
feeble
THUS the word govt has indicated
rich living and opulence for so long
a time that, although it does not in
variably attack the rich and we'll fed,
there is always smile and the usual
pleasantries- when a sickness is pro-
nounced govt. You have the govt, old
fellow! Been treating yourself too we'll,
eh?' l know physicians who, to humor
their patients, take advantage of the
general respect people have for govt by
giving the name to various other all
ments, such as rheumatism. The term
is much more popular and the symptoms
are somewhat similar. l have seen peo-
pie who absolutely Dragged about hav-
ing the govt. remember hearing con-
versation on the subject between two old
women and the voice of the speaker was
high and boastful when she said: My
son, John, is laid up with the govt. It
is the real thing, too, red spots and all
the regular symptoms 1t is a result of
too high living, the doctor says"

7 A GRIPPE is epidemic catarrh. 1t
l. spares no class or nationality. The
cultured and the ignorant, the aristocrat
and the pauper, the masses and the class
es are alike subject to la grippe. None
are exempt-all are liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you? Grip is we'll named.
The original French term, Ia grippe,
has been shortened by the busy Ameri-
can to read grip" Without intending
to do so a new word has been coined
that exactly describes the case. AS if
some hideous giant with awful GRIP had
clutched US in it's fatal clasp. Men,
women, and children, whole towns and
cities are caught in the baneful grip OF a
terrible monster.

PROPAGATION OF TREES.
Process of Root Grating Explained
Step by Step, in Language That
All Can Understand.

Root grating and such work is done
by nurserymen in winter when little
outdoor work can be done. Root graft
ing is largely practiced in growing ap-
pie trees. If skillfully done in the
early winter so that the stock and scion
may become more or less united before
planting in the spring, trees grown by
this method will be as valuable as
those grown by budding and are grown
much more cheaply.
The farmer or orchardist who is
planning for future planting may, if
skillful with knife, by securing apple
seedlings, root-graft them during the
leisure hours of February, and by
planting in a rich soil produce trees
that are more valuable than he can

UNIQUE TREE TRIPLETS.

Third a Sugar Tree

Mr.. G. w. Hatten, of Egypt, w. Va,
sends a pencil sketch of three trees
growing as if from the same root. He
saw the account of the twin trees near
Philadelphia, mentioned in the New
Curiosity Shop two or three weeks ago.
In his letter he says:
These trees are found on the farm
of Strother Hatten, on Elijah's creek,
in Wayne county, WA. There are

A pious citizen has l5-year-old son
who does not promise to be exactly IA
chip off the old block" Not long ago the
father discovered to his sorrow that his
boy and several others of the neighbor-
hood had a habit of matching nlckeIs.
The wrathful parent led the erring lad to
the time-honored attic, where hangs a
certain strap. The boy didn't have any
agreeable impression of what was to come,
and, on the ground that it is only the first
plunge that counts, he called out: Say,
dad! Ill go you heads or tails for two
lckings or none!"-Chicago Chronicle.

Plant an Acre of Trees.

Did you ever think how valuable an
acre Of ground can be made by planting
it thickly with trees, thus forming a
grove in which to feed hogs? Plant It
into trees that grow rapidly and form
plenty of shade. The most valuable
acres on some farms are handled in this
manner Catalpa and locust are very
suitable, and when few posts are need
ed they may be cut from; besides the
hogs can be fed away from the sum-
mer's sun.-Farm Journal.

The train was crowded With Yafensians on their way back to their alma mater with their dress suit cases and overfioWing with the true collegiate spirit It was the last night before they settled down to work and they were having a good time. But the mercury was below zero and there was little doing in the way of heat on the trains.
 The train was not running on sched- ule time either. There were numerous delays and when the train reached Stamford it was way behind time. The Yale men were cold and began to look about for something to keep them warm. There were several sleepers on the train and the men began 8 raid on these to obtain something to keep them warm. They took the bedding and re- moved it to their seats and made pre- parations to keep themselves as warm as possible So they waited for several hours and when the train pulled in at the depot in New Haven it was several hours late and had on board crowd of undergraduates who were chilled but happy.

 VIII Provft.e Strike Fund.
 CRIPPLE GREEK, Colo. Jan. B., The following notice posted here, has been issued by Charles H. Mover, pres ident, and William F. Haywood, secre-. tary, Western Federation of Miners, to all members of the Western Federation of Miners in the Cripple Creek dis trict:
 . Tt has been decided in many courts that members of organized labor are not vagrants. Keep your union cards, and refuse to be driven away from your homes If compelled to leave by force of arms, union men are advised to return immediately to the Cripple Creek district The Western Fedora ton of Miners will provide for all striking miners and their families"
 It is reported that one more day will be given to the strikers to leave the arations are being made, it is said, for wholesale arrests. Prisoners against whom no other charge than vagrancy is made will be evicted from Teller county and will not be permitted to re- turn.
 c. H. Reiner, who has been arrested is confined in the county jail, but no criminal charge has been filed against him. His home is in Buffalo, and an attempt may be made to take his case before the United States district court on an appeal for writ of habeas corpus.
 President c. H. Meyer and Secretary Haywood state that the strike in tho Cripple Creek district ''is net broken, though the Republican administration has spent nearly $1,00c 900 of the states funds to subserve the corpora lions and make good their ante-election pledges"
 They deny that any rebellion or in. surrection exists and contend that every constitutional right of the people has been grossly violated by Governor Peabody and his military subordinates. The result of the Poole habeas corpus case is cited as proof that the governor 'is afraid to allow the highest court in the state to determine the question as to who is guilty of lawlessness in the Cripple Creek district"
