Pruning Fruit Trees.

We have nearly as many different
opinions about pruning fruit trees as
we have kinds of fruit, says the Home
stead There are those who stand
ready to advise along lines OF either
extreme. One will not go very far to
find an individual who believes that
no pruning at all rs the safest and
best. His nearest neighbor may be-
lieve in heavy pruning. Thus ii goes.
Pruning, when done at a proper time
and in proper manner will be found
beneficial. II is not an easy matter
to give the best instructions on paper.
Notwithstanding that a great deal
has been said and written about prun-
ing a great deal Of bad practice still
prevails All over the country may
be seen orchards where pruning or
the lack of pruning is apparent.
Some have been trimmed so the
trunks are two or three times as high
as they should be and others have
been neglected so as to show but very
little of the trunks.
In pruning a tree the one doing the
work ought to have in mind an ideal
and ne should prune so as to benefit
that tree. If he cannot make an inn
provement in appearance or in its util-
ity by pruning he had better not do
anything with it.
Az rule large limbs should not be
cut away unless by leaving them the
tree is endangered. Where branches
rub against each other it viii be found
best to cut away one or both accord
ing TO the needs OF the case. In cut
ting away branches il is well to keep in
ones mind the symmetry of the tree
and keep the top in nice form.
Pruning a tree after growth has be-
gun has a tendency to check 1t. For
this reason where the rapid formation
OF young wood is desired the pruning
should be performed before the buds
start. We would not advise pruning
trees In the hardest part of winter, for
the reason that fresh wounds always
have a tendency to injure the tree

NO FEAR, JAP DECLARES
OF THE yellow PERIL. y

San Francisco, March 13.-Baron Ka-
neko, a former japanese Minister of
Agriculture and Commerce and mem
Der Of the japanese Parliament, who
has arrived here en- route TO Washing

i do not understand what YOU
Americans and Europeans mean when
you speak of to- yellow peril. If you
believe that the japanese intend to
unite with the others members of the
yellow race and overrun Europe and
America you are very much mistaken.
Such thought has never entered our
heads, and it is our ultimate intention
TO enter the rank and file of Christen-
dom. This is our main objection to
an alliance with the Chinese, for no
sooner would the two nations join
forces than ever alarmist would inn
mediately raise the cry of the yell

to beware of the Muscovite peril. 1t
is much more dangerous.

are prepared to remain in il as long
as Russia does. Our finances are in
the best of condition and we can al
ways issue a special war tax if it
should become necessary. 1t has been
said in both my country and here that

truth in it. am going to the st. Louis

II is to be hoped that the Brownlow

Is the most important step for the farm

Practical Farmer. Untold million

continental railroads, for Cuba. Porto
Rico and the Philippines. 1t is pro-
posed to spend over 5000, 100000 for a

millions of dollars have been taken
from all the people by high tariffs to
favor home industries, and vet for
agriculture what has been done? The
Government has spent large sums. il is
true, for Agricultural Colleges and Elk
pertinent Stations, but the Colleges
have generally done more for techni-
cal education in civil engineering and
mechanics than for agriculture And
teaching people farming and showing
them how to raise finer crops and then
leaving them with roads over which
they cannot haul them to market is
but small part of what the farmers
need. The Brownlow bill proposes to
appropriate $24.000,000 to aid the
states in building roads according to

Tallahassee, Fla, March 12.-At the
regular monthly meeting of the City

of this matter.
William w. Lyon, civil engineer

which he states that the matter of free
delivery had been brought before the
postal department at Washington with
a prospect of immediate action.
In his annual message to the City
Council the Mayor, DR.. w. L. Moor,
recommended that immediate attention
be given to the issuance of bonds Ito
the extent of $5O,000) for the erection

Every farmer will concede that it
costs no more to fed and care for a
good horse, or two good animals of
any kind. than cheap and unstable
scrub yet many will go on breeding
and raising such horses as win only
sell at plug prices when they could as
easily and cheaply raise an animal
that Will sell readily at any time after
maturity and at a profitable price. At
the recent American Royal Stock
Show at Kansas City party of agri-
cultural college students requested the
well-known horse breeder, ]. w. Ron
ison of Towanda, Kan, to permit his
exhibits to be scored. In complying
he said to them
Boys, l suppose good many of you
expect to be farmers. Let me give Won
some advice from my own experience
When you start farming, no matter if
you are renter, get two fine mares
two fine COWS, two fine sows and two
of the best hens you can buy. They
will cost good deal more than scrubs
but the difference in q few years will
be immense. Sell their male progeny
and keep the female. The male progeny
will bring you as much as the whole
product of cheaper stock. and in a
few years the female portion will
produce enough to buy you a farm and
then another farm.
That old black mare you have been
scoring was supposing to be one Of the
best mares in France i'm her time She
was imported fifteen years ago. She
made the first man who owned her
$4,000 We bought her seven years ago
and she has made US $1,000. and she
has done the full work OF a horse IN
the field all these years. Don't start
your farming with scrubs. II you can't
buy as good a mare as this one, buy
the besl you can. Do your farming
with draft mares, and IL you manage
right the colts viii be profit. and big
profit az that We have three old mares
on the place that have earned use S.

The severest cold has no terrors for
insect life. It has been shown by ex-
periments that insects may be artI-
hcIally OF naturally frozen. subjected.
indeed. TO very low temperatures. with
out killing or even iniuring them. Eggs.
larvae and pupae, the stages in which
most insects pass the winter. are per
fectly immune TO cold, says the Amer
icdn Cultivator.
Il Is a common idea that cocOons Of
insects serve as A protection against
cold but this is entirely erroneous.
They, like the summer webs Of web
worms are a protection against birds
and insect parasites, but not against
cold The cocoons Of summer broods
are as stout and thick as those of the
generations that pass the winter.
Moths. butterflies and other insects
build stOuter and more compact CO
coons in tropical and torrid countries
than they do in those climates whsre
they are beseged by winter. There are
many insects. allied TO the builders
Of cOcoOns, that make no such cover
ings, the pupa or the chrygalis being
left entirely exposed. And 50 little
heat is maintained by the pupae of
insects that no matter how thick the
cOcOOns, they are always too slight to
repel freezing cold.
Certain degrees of frigidity seem TO
have vastly different effects on diff
ferent species Of insects. Gnats and
midges dance in the winter sunshine;
butterflies. Vanessa, Grapta, and some
times Coilas, skim over the snow:
wasps and bees wind their way through
the leafess woods; ground beetles run
quickly over the cold earth; crickets
peep from beneath stones and rotting
logs while other species, the vast ma
jority in fact. are locked in the lethar-
gy of Information. One Of the COM
monest evidences Of this Information is
to be seen when firewood is carried
into the house and placed near the
warm stove. II takes only a short
time to bring out a swarm of ants that
were sleeping in beetle borings, their
common retreat.
A naturalist ONCE, after experiments
IN freezing insects, and finding that
those that had not laid eggs nor com
pleted their natural term of life al
ways revived, finally cut off the head
OF a fly and quickly subjected the body
70 a low temperature. To all ap-
pearances II died, as any decapitated
fly would have done sooner or later.
but upon bringing it to the warmth
the body, much to his surprise, re-
vived and resumed its struggles. until
II nnally died from the effects Of the
knife. This shows to what extent
the cold acts on insect TISSUES. They
are simply coagulated, and life does
not cease, but is only suspended: for
1 when this coagulation or congestion
ends, the vital energies resume their
normal conditions. II, however, an in
sect has nearly completed it's natural
l term OF life, 1t will be killed by freez-
/ ing u would continue to live for only
a short time under favorable condi-
tons in any temperature. The life
Of most adult insects is at best ex-
ceedingly short.

A fitting close to this day of rare
enjoyment was the banquet prepared
in one of the easements of the fort
by the Ladies Auxiliary and Chatfield
Post. 1t was a spread" such as no
previous encampment in my memory
ever enjoyed. and the "old boys" did
full justice to the delicious viands set
before them. ST. Augustine has done
herself proud by the generous and
cordial hospitality bestowed upon the
Union veterans to-day-a hospitality
similar to that extended to the Con-
federate veterans a few months ago.
The greatest credit is due, however, to
Capt Narcotic for the admirable man
ner in which he managed the whole
affair. and his unanimous election as
department commander was a most
hearty and sincere tribute to his ardu-
GUS labors and unselfiesh devotion to
the comfort of his old comrades. Flor
