THE REAL TEST
OF HerpIcide Is In Giving 1t Thor
ough Trial.

There is only one test by which to
Judge OF the efficiency Of any article
and that is by its ability to do that
which it IS intended to do. Many hair
vigors may look nice and smell nice.
but the point is-do they eradicate Dan
druH and stop falling hair?
No. they do not, but Herpicide does.
because 1t goes TO the root of the evil
and kills the germ that attacks the
papilla from whence the hair gets its
life.

TREE PLANTING.

There are many mistakes made in
the matter of tree planting. A very
common one where trees are being set
in the home lot for shade and decora-
ton is to set them in straight rows in
stead of irregularly in groups, the best
pattern to follow being natures meth
cd of artistic irregularity; then, the
trees being small, so many seem to for
get they will grow to be large, and so
set them too near the house, only to
bury the house in a dense shade and
shut out the sun, and it is rare to find
a man with sand enough to cut down
the handsome trees which he planted
twenty years previously. Then mis-
takes are made, and bad ones, in the
selection of varieties. No man ever
regrets planting white elm, a hard
maple, white ash, catalpa, blue
spruce or q white pine if they are
planted in the right place, but the
Lombardy poplar, the Balm of Gilead,
the cottonwood, the box elder and the
willow very soon outlive their useful
ness; then it quite often happens that
one may combine profit and aesthetic
beauty by planting a fruit tree instead
Of deciduous forest tree. No tree is
better suited for a lawn decoration
than the cherry, either tame or wild.
while the plum will brighten the lawn
with it's bloom in the spring and re-
ward all who seek its shade later on
with its fruit. For street planting
probably no tree gives such general
satisfaction as the American elm. We
would not, however, discourage any
one from planting the poor varieties
if that is the very best they can do,
for any sort Of tree is better than none
at all.

COUNTY FAIRS.

The real and the only object of the
county fairs should be the promotion
Of the agricultural, mechanical and
horticultural interests of the COM
munity, and where they fail to do
this we doubt if they are of any real
value whatever Wherever these fairs
are held there is an almost irresistible
effort made by a certain class to
make the racing, the sideshows, the
sensational risk of human life, the
gambling and the immoral supersede
and obscure the legitimate object Of
the fair. Fancy prices are rendered
the management for the privilege of
plucking the gullible public by hun
dred fraudulent schemes, while the
horsemen-the racing craft-are quite
apt to want to be considered the
whole show and appropriate the bulk
Of the receipts. Some day there will
come time when the real purpose of
the county fair will be properly recog-
niZed and men will take an interest
and attend such fair for the education
al value which it should possess along
agricultural lines. A certain state fair
in a western state only a few years
ago so catered to this demand for the
grotesque and sensational that a track
was laid, locomotives were bought and
real collision, head-on, was adver-
tised and given as one of the attrac-
tons. The management has learned
better now. Fair officials who will
license gambling schemes Of any sort
should be promptly indicted and re-
moved from office.

THE DUAL PURPOSE COW.

A Minnesota dairyman who for
twelve years has been trying to build
up herd of dual purpose cows says
he has failed and that the thing is a
practical impossibility. The trouble
is that the heifers from such herd
will almost always take one tack or
the other-run to either beef or milk
and so are not dual, as desired. Once
in awhile COW is found which most
happily combines the qualities of both
meat and milk, but it seems to be al
most impossible to fix such strain
as distinguishing trait Of breed.
The very makeup of the cow tends to
defeat such an attempt, the good
mixer from a physical necessity being
almost a deformed beast from a beef
standpoint If man is going into
the dairy business for profit, there is
little doubt that he will best promote
his interests by getting cows of the
dairy type.

FROST PROOF STRAWBERRIES.

A friend in Colorado writes asking
us to name some varieties Of straw
berry which will be frost proof in June
and July on the highlands of that
state, where he states they have a
frost every year in June and July. We
cannot help him out. for we know of
no berry which, when in bloom or
when the fruit is formed, will stand
hard frost. He cites the fact that wild
strawberries grow there in abundance.
but neglects to state, what is probably
fact, that these wild berries grow
low down among other vegetation and
are to a great extent protected from
frost. The frost condition to which he
refers sometimes catches our crop of
berries in late May. and the best way
to prevent damage is to start a smudge
Of the old winter covering around the
bed or else throw ii back on the plants
to remain until danger is past.

WHEN AND HOW TO pRuSE.

1t is good time now TO prune the
fruit trees where they need 1t. The
water sprouts at the base of the trunk
should be all removed also all cross
limbs and deformed ones A light
fine toothed saw is the best tool for
this work. and ii Is good idea to
have little pot Of paint along to give
the wound on the tree dab. Pruning
done at this season AIay) insures the
quick healing Of the cuts, as the sap
is about in full flow. The work Of
pruning should never be delayed so
that limbs over an inch in diameter
have to be removed
