A Missouri Munchausen.

There are some pretty fair Nimrods
In Missouri now, but a story which is
printed in an old history OF Galloway
county shows that some of those OF
former days could make contemporary
sportsmen look like 80 cents either as
shots or as raconteurs, says the Kan
sas City Journal. Mr.. Calvin Tate
according to this history, says that
the wild pigeons were so plentiful n
summer that frequently when they
would alight on a tree it would bend
down to the ground with their weight.
He went hunting n day, and seeing
a fine lot of pigeons in a tree he
hitched his horse to one of the limbs
and fired and killed 300 at n shot.
The rest flew away, and as soon as
the tree was relieved of their weight
1t Strengthened up, carrying his horse
with it. and the poor brute had to
hang there until he could &c home
q get an ak and cut the tree down.

TRANsPLANTING OF TREES.
An Experienced Horticulturist Talks
About His Success in This Line
During the Past Season:

In the transplanting of orchard
trees, one should keep in mind the
form and habit of growth of each tree.
Most trees that are transplanted
leave part Of the root system in the
ground from where they were dug. Ii
the roots have been mangled or torn,
hey should be cut back to smooth
wood. In planting, the top should be
cut back, leaving a leader that is some
longer than the branches. If the top
should not be cut back, the leaves
would require so much nourishment
that the short roots could not supply
it. The drying out of the tree would
result. If the tree has a well-balanced
top, branches evenly distributed
around the main stalk, it will not be
a very difficult matter to form a good
tree; if, however, the branches are
on one side of the tree, it will be very
unshapely, and unless these are cut
back and branches allowed to form
ON both sides, the tree will soon be

MADE A SLIGHT MISTAKE
Government Official Was Bound to
Get Right, But Again
Got Wrong.

Whenever an unknown person OF dis
tinguished appearance enters my office, l
am reminded of the experience OF Frank
Vanderbilt" said a senator's secretary,
according to the Washington Star. When
Vanderlip was Secretary Cages private
secretary, before he got wei acquainted,
he paid little attention to the people ne
did not know. One day a member OF the
cabinet called on Secretary Gage and was
ignored for some time by Vanderllp,
finally going into the private room un,
announced. The cabinet officer complained
to President Mckinley, and the president
mentioned it to Secretary. Gage, who
thereupon reprimanded Vanderlip.
"The next day, Vanderlip turning over
q new leaf, one of the first persons to
enter was a distinguished looking old fel-
low with a partriarchal beard. Vanderlip
received him with great consideration,
handed out a chair, which the old fellow
took with gravity and some wonderment.
Seating himself opposite, Vanderlip asked,
with a most engaging smile, What can
l do for you, sir"
"'Oh, nothing replied the visitor. i
Just came to wind the clocks"

CHECKING. THE
It Is a Task Requiring a Lot of Sys-
tematic Work and Consider
able Patience.

In all gardening operations more or
less trouble is experienced from the
attacks of cutworms. Sometimes a
good many plants are cut off in a
single night. This trouble is made
worse by the use of barnyard manure,
which is later found to have con-
tanned the eggs that Matched into cut
worms. The use of this manure can
not be avoided very well. At least it
is easier to fight the cutworms than
to disarrange the methods of doing
the garden work. The worms gener.
ally feed near the top of the ground
and near the moisture line. In wet
weather they crawl about from one
plant to the other. put during ordinary
weather their attacks are usually de-
livered under the surface of the soil.
One way of protecting the plants
against the attacks of these worms is
to wrap paper loosely about them at
setting time, having the paper reach
at least an inch below the ground
and two inches above. The worms do
not seem to know how to get under
or over such an obstruction. In a dry
time the wrapper should extend below
the moisture line in the soil, but be-
low that line the worms will not go.
Care should be taken to have it loose
enough about the stem to leave the
plant free to develop naturally. In
some cases gardeners that have many
plants tt protect use tin protectors
Strips of tin about eight inches Ions
and three inches wide are used. Be
fore the tin is bent into a circle the
ends for about one inch are folded
back to form two hooks that clasp into
each other and make the joint thai
holds the cylinder together. Wher
the danger from worms is past these
cylinders are taken off and stored
away to be used in subsequent years

RIGHT SIZE or ORCHARDS,
This Writer Considers It Misplaced
Energy to Plant Trees on Too
Limited a Scale.

It is almost as difficult and expen.
siye to care for five acres of orchard
trees as it is for ten, and 1t is mis-
placed energy to attempt to plant or
chards too small to occupy ones full
time. AS a good deal of modern or
charding expense consists in the labor
Of spraying and fighting insects. IL
will pay better to have an orchard
large enough to warrant one In pbr-
chasing the necessary apparatus 10
spray properly. A large orchard also
tends to protect itself from the winds,
and in winter and summer there may
be a considerable saving from this
The trees on the outside nearly always
produce less than those inside.
If one is going to have an apple or
other fruit orchard, it is just as well
to have a fine one as an ordinary KIND.
The latter will not cost much more IN
the end, and it will prove prohtaple'
while the former will not. Plant trees
of well-known marketable varieties
and get good specimens from reliable
dealers. Spray them every season and
protect them from pests of all kinds
Do not let them injure themselves by
bearing heavily the first few years
Pluck off the blossoms of fruit, so that
no limb or branch will be strained

This can be easily done If n has or

FOOD FACTS


A prominent physician of Rome,

led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food,
and l also know from having pre-

weak patients that the food is a won

Disappointment

The young man with the swell suit, slen-
der cane, and jaunty air, was conscious
of being observed.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw
that the people on the other side of the
street were looking at him as he saun-
tered along.
A sign on a letter box, Fresh Paint
attracted his attention.
He stopped and looked at it.
But he did not touch it.
He turned, instead, and looked at the
people on the other side of the streer
through his monocle.
Then he resumed his sauntering.

of little value. A little care at this
time in forming the head, Will be OF
great value, and often it means a dlt-
ference between a good long lived and
productive tree, and one that is OF
short existence and shows lack Of at
tention. One very important point
that is frequently not taken into con-
sideration is the length of trunk-all
successful fruit growers regard trees
with long bodies and a high head as
very unsatisfactory. They may appear
10 be larger and for this reason would
come into bearing earlier; but il this
be true, such trees are more likely to
be injured by hot winds during sum-
mer and the thawing and freezing win
ter weather. The trunks are exposed
so these elements have free access to
the body. 1t is this frequent thawing
and freezing in winter that produces
sun scald.
To obviate this trouble all growers
now prefer low-headed trees. Branches
are formed one to two feet from the
ground. See figure. When headed IN
this manner the soil and small body
is properly shaded. Trees with low
heads are not so liable to be in
jured by strong winds. The fruit will
not be blown off in such quantities and
it. is much easier gathered; often
times most of it can be picked from
the ground, especially if the tree be Of
a spreading habit of growth. After
the tree has reached four or five years
of age it will be discovered in exam
nation that the buds are not all alike.
On two-year-old wood OF older fruit
spurs are formed on which the fruit
is grown. The spurs are usually one
half to three inches long and may be
mistaken for short branches. 1t is
very important that they are taken
into consideration when pruning. The
time for pruning is a debatable ques-
ton and in the very cold sections 1t
is considered safer to prune through
March, after the severe freezing wealth
er is over, and before the sap begins
to start.
When mo~derate-sized limbs are to
be removed a sharp saw should be
used, and the limbs cut close to the
main stem; if a stub is left the cam
blum layer will not form and it is left
to decay. This frequently causes the
trunk to become hollow. All branches
that cross or interfere should be re-
moved. The top should be opened but
not too much, or the branches may be
injured by the hot winds of summer
or the drying winds of winter. Some
Of the best pruning tools are those thai
will remove the wood with the leasr
possible injury to the tree. The medi.
um-sized knife with a curved edge i:
very good in removing limbs less thar
one inch in diameter. Branches a lit
tie larger than this should be re
moved with hand pruning shears
These are made of steel, with a sprin:
and a blade which is protected with
guard. A tool that is very conven
lent is a sort of shears placed on /;
handle of different lengths. This too
is used largely in removing branche
in the top of high trees. The saw
are of different sizes. One that is yer.
convenient is known as the swivel
bladed saw. The blade is about one
half inch wide and is easily turned 81
all limbs can be readily removed with
