The Hardy Mule.

Hardness is a quality that is com
ing more and nor to have value in
the Eyes of our farmers. The animal
that is hardy can he
cheaply raised than the ami
NAL that lacks in that important
quality. It Is declared that the mule
is more easily raised than any other
farm animal intended for labor on
farms Of this country. He has a pow
erful digestion, that makes it possible
for him to use the crudest hay for
n~ourishment. Above all, the young
mule does not often die from the all.

Albert E. Pillsbury, former attorney
general Of Massachusetts,, on visiting
tho birthplace Of Horace Greeley. in
Amherst, N. H., noticed that there
was no placard about the place to in
form the public of its historical in.
terest. Accordingly he himself tackled
on the house a card which read:
This is the birthplace OF Horace
Greeley" While he was engaged at
this task a passing native paused to
read the card, and, turning to Mr..
Pillsbury, he remarked, with some
acidity: "The gall of some OF you
fellers that hev made money in the
city is fairly sick-nin'. What do you
suppose folks here care whether you
was born on this farm or some other
old farm? Them's my sentiments, Mr..
Greeley, and don't you forgit It,"

Variation in Fowls.

Fowls vary according to the nun
Der of strains that compose their z.
cestors. Nearly all our modern breeds
ere combinations of other breeds, and
birds of new and strange plumage are
continually appearing. Many a man
that has Plymouth Rocks has pure
white chicks. Some men have saved
these chicks and developed the white
Plymouth Rock. 1t is safe to say thai
we might go on indefinitely increasing
our breeds by saving the variations,
but there is no advantage in this. 1t
is merely increasing the confusion al.
ready existing. The effort of the poul.
try breeder should be to eliminate ali
these variations, that he may help
purify the standard stock.

No Apple Belt.

There is no such thing as
an apple belt, although apples
can be grown much more successfully
in some localities than others. But
generally speaking, apples can be
grown everywhere in the temperate
zones. The apple, above most fruits,
has a wide range of latitude, and is lit
tie affected by longitude, except where
such longitude indicates aridity. The
apple adapts itself readily to a great

Prenaration OF Orchard Soil.

If an orchard is put out right, the
soil Will be prepared for 1T
several years in advance, If
the soil is what IS known as
virgin soil. 1t is always a mistake
to dig holes in virgin soil, and plant
trees therein. Ground for orchards
should be plowed for one or two years
and crops grown on 1t that need cultf
walton. Such crops al corn, potatoes,
and garden produce are especially well
adapted to fit the land for or%charding.
The points to be borne in mind are
to get the soil stirred deeply, have it
thoroughly pulverized and supplied
with plant food.

Thin the Branches of Shade Trees.

Thin the Branches of Shade Trees.
1t is a common mistake to permit
the branches of shade trees TO become
too thick. This is true whether they
be conifers or deciduous trees. In the
case of conifers, like the spruce trees
and cedars, the branches, being thick,
prevent the sun from reaching the In
most branches, which die. II one will
lie under some of the thick-branched
spruce trees and look up, he viii see
Immediately surrounding the bowl OF
the tree only dead twigs, and these
sometimes extend several feet from
the trunk. Such trees are unsightly.
The trees would be just as beautiful IL
the branches were kept thin, and
there would be only green from
the tips of the limbs to the trunk OF
the tree. Shade tends to thin out
branches. This is natures means OF
pruning. When a deciduous tree, like
the maple, is allowed to form all the
branches it can, it invariably kills all
the grass below 1t. Y Where shade
trees are grown grass is generally
also wanted, and the owner Of the tree
tries every known art to make grass
grow under the tree. The only way
for him to succeed is to keep the
branches of the trees thinned out suf.
~iciently to allow some light to get
through. This will not disigure the
tree, and will save the grass. Thick
ness of branches does not add beauty
to a tree, for it is obvious that limbs
that cannot be seen do not increase
the beauty Of a tree, yet they prevent
the passage of sunshine. By thinning
out the inside branches the beauty of
the tree can be saved and the grass
at the same time:

AN ARIZONA HORSEWOMAN


The pride of Arizona's splendid horsemen
is a little girl who has only watched the
suns of fourteen summers disappear behind
the Phoenix hills.
Her name is Bertha Heloise Grant, and
her fame as a horsewoman has as much
significance among Arizona horsemen as
that of any of the rest of their own number.
Little Miss Grant is the daughter of a
well-known rancher of Phoenix. She is as
much at home on horses back as on terra
firma, and she manages her mount with
wonderful skill. She can throw a larat and
rope cow as well as any man in the state.
For many years she has been her father S
companion in his rides about the country.
Since she was five years old this little
horsewoman has been able to handle a
horse and handle him well.
Miss Grant is a very modest little lady
and does not consider her achievement as
of an unusual or extraordinary nature.
