THE RIGHT TIME TO STOP.
Notes on Orchard Cultivation Which
Seem to Be Worthy of Care
full Consideration.

Cultivation of the orchard should
generally be stopped by the end Of
July. This is especially the case with
old orchards that are being cultivated
for the first time. In the case of an
orchard that has been cultivated right
along there can be little or no harm
In %cultivating at any time of year. 1t
will then stop growing i'll midsummer,
and will spend the rest of its time and
energy in hardening up its wood. But
the orchard that has not been much
cultivated. or even that has not
been cultivated in the spring of this
year will be injured by giving it extra
attention of this kind in the late sum-
mer and fall. If, however, the trees are
carrying a heavy crop of fruit, cultiva-
ton may be continued later than if the
trees are bare or have little fruit on them.
The extra amount of plant food set loose
will then go into the fruit that is being
produced, and the late development Of
buds and of wood will not occur. In

late cultivation may prevent the fruit
laden trees from becoming weakened
from lack of moisture. Then as there
is a great deal of loss of moisture from
the uncultivated ground and the fruit on
the trees is requiring a great deal for
its development, there is sometimes in
jury to the tree from the supply of mois-
ture being lessened or cut off.-Farmers'
Review.

WE MUST ASSIST NATURE.
HWhat to Do After Planting" Dis
cussed by Prof. II. E. Van
Deman, Promologist.

II Is far too common to see fruit trees
and many other valuable costly Things
planted and then left to their fate, or
nearly so. Some people seem to have the
idea that their duty is done when they
set things in the ground; that Mother
Nature will do the rest. Nature does do
D great deal for us, and, probably, Tar
more than we often deserve, but we must
not presume too much upon her efforts.
We have only begun our duty. Like the
mother who has the infanti in her arms
1t is to be made by her, very largely,
whatever it will be in future life. 1t
must be fed and trained. So must b
tree or plant.
In the first place, supposing the soil Is
fairly rich and the planting has been
done properly, which is very often not
the case, there should be nothing like al
lowing the soil to become hard. This it
will do in a short timei if not given prompt
attention. The spring rains are usually
abundant, and this fact alone will cause
the soil to pack, and when a dry spell
comes, it will bake on top, if it is not
prevented. The best thing is good TIL
Iage. By this I mean the tillage of the
entire surface between the trees or
plants. Many act on the theory that a
little space about them is all that is nee.
necessary to keep loose, which lisa serious
mistake. Capilarity works laterally as
we'll as vertically. A hard space, where
the moisture is escaping into the air very
freely, will draw upon the soil next to it,
If it be moist. That is just what occurs
In cases where little patches are kept
hard about trees in a grain field or a
grassy yard. 1t will be so anywhere that
all the land is not under thorough TIL
lage.
If farm or garden crop must be grown
between the trees, as is often wise and
proper to do, let it be one that shall be
we'll titled for several months, beginning
in the springtime. In any case, stir the
surface frequently, but not very deep.
This is the true principle Of tillage, for it
Is to conserve the soil moisture. PloW
under weeds if necessary, but aim to new
ar let them get large enough to need it.
Watch the young sprouts that will
finally be branches, and rub or cut away
those not needed. This is much better
than to allow them to get large and then
have to cut them off, to the injury of the
tree in some degree. A sin never com
mitted does not have to be repented OF
and so with that tree: one not allowed tc
grow right into bad shape does not have
to be righted.
Keep the insects and fungus diseases
off by spraying while things are young
Il there is any need of it, and there Otter
Is more than we are apt to think. II

Elegant Train Service of the Nickel
Plate Road.

The thorough development and main
tenance of the up-to-date passenger serv-
ice of the Nickel Plate Road leaves moth
ing to be desired by people who travel,
Ladies travelling alone or accompanied by
children will appreciate the clean and
well lighted coaches, made so by the corps
of colored porters in uniform who attend
the wants of both first and second-class
passengers without extra charge. The din
ing car service of the Nickel Plate Road
has become very popular with the patrons
on the line and one of pride to the man
agement. This service is conducted un'
der the system of individual club meals
Carefully prepared menus are compiled
into booklets, containing suggestions fol
breakfast, luncheon or supper that will
not cost you more than thirty-five cents
and on up to one dollar, which is the
limit, hence the disbursement may wait
for the appetite. Meals are also served
"a la Carte" As no excess fare is charged
on any train, it will be to your advantage
to purchase your tickets via the Mckee
Plate Route, where rates are lower thai
via any other line.

MAY LAND U. S. MARINES
Tnngier incident May Yet De the
Means of Causing Serious
Trouble.

Washington, May 30.-Should Amer
lean interests in Tangier, or other
places in Morocco be imperilled in any
way as a result of complications grow
ing out of the capture of the American,
Pericaris, by the Moorish bandits, it
may become necessary to land marines
from the American men of war now
on their way there. This contingency,
however, has not been seriously con
sidered by the administration, as there
has been no evidence that such step
was necessary. Officials say 1t has
never been contemplated that marines
should be sent into the interior of the
country to assist in the rescue Of the
captured men. They say marines could
not accomplish anything, because Of
the inaccessibility of the country. 1t
was expected that Admiral Chadwick,
with the cruiser Brooklyn, would ar
rive at Tangier Sunday, but secretary
Moody said that nothing had been re-
ceived from the admiral up to Sunday
night.

lT WAS NOT APPRECIATED.
Minister'S Wife Had a Flower Hat
and Put 1t in the Wrong
Place.

A story is told by the Chicago Inter
Ocean of a woman III that town, the wife
of a young minister, who has always had
a liking for hats of the tiower-bed variety,
although she condemned Others for vast
ing money that should go to the heather.
At present she WINS a dream" OF a
'sky piece" that is covered with %violets.
The young wife wore this hat to u funeral
recently, at which her husband othciated.
.Soing into the room which contained the
coffin she removed the hat and placed it
On a stand.
The sad-faced, s~leek-haired undertaken
came in a few minutes later to arrange
the floral tokens" on the coffin. After
putting the bouquets, wreaths, pillows,
broken wheels, anchors and the usual run
of flowers in place, he picked up the vio-
let-covered hat and tenderly placed it on
top of all the rest.
Several of the "mourners" giggled, and
the minister's wife wanted to grab her hat
and run. She had to let it alone. however,
until the close of the ceremony.
When she marched past the bier she
llunged for the hat and successfully made
her escape.

The Horse Has Its Rights.

The automobile and good roads ques.
lions seems to be prominent among the
issues of the day. They are about to be
blended into one question, however, for
the better the road, the more automo-
bilists there will be. Some farmers up
hold the auto side, but the majority are
against it. If more autos will improve
the condition of rural roads, they are to
be encouraged, but if they wait for the
good roads to come first, they should be
discouraged. There is nc doubt, how
ever, that the automobile is a nuisance
on the public rural roads. They make it
unsafe for a child OF lady to drive alone.

Fat in Cheese Production.

Skilled cheesemakers say that the
more the curd is stirred and agitated
the more it throws out fat, which later
is taken from the whey and made into
what Is called whey butter. When the
amount of fat appearing in the whey is
large, it is a sign that the curd is being
excessively stirred. The good cheese
maker tries to incorporate In the cheese
all the fat possible, as this improves the
quality of the cheese. Under proper
management of the curd the whey
should not test more than three-tenths
Of one per cent. butter fat.

Whitewash for Cow Stables.

Whitewash is a valuable adjunct in
keeping the COW stable clean. Our milk
men have learned this long ago, at least
those that have to sell milk to exacting
buyers. Visiting the farms in the vicin-
ity Of Elgin, ILL.,, one is struck with the
frequency of the whitewashed stables.
One of the great advantages of this wash
is that it shows dirt readily, and when
1t has been applied a stable cannot get
very dirty without the attention of the
owner being called painfully to that
fact. AS a germicide whitewash ranks
high, and dairymen should use it more
than they do.-Farmers' Review.

Simple Way Of Tarring Corn.

We have read of several methods Of
tarring corn, but ours is the simplest
that we have seen. Put a bushel or
more Of corn in a bran sack, pour on to
this three or four tablespoonful of gas
tar OF coal tar, tie up the sack, then
work It back and forth on the floor a
dozen times, and the corn Is tarred and
it will not blacken fingers scarcely any.
No water is needed to moisten the corn
and no ashes, plaster or other substance
to dry the corn after tarring.-Rural
