Checking Root Gall.

When new apple trees are received
from the nursery they should be care
fully inspected to make sure that they
are not affected with root gall This
disease is now very prevalent in soma
nurseries, and great care must be eNer-
cised. 1t is disease, that spreads
through the soil, and a single tree
may introduce 1t into an orchard,
where it may undo the work of years.
We have several times Illustrated root
gall in these columns, and 1t does not
seem advisable to repeat the illustra
ton at this time. Suffice 1t to say
that it is a gall appearing on the roots,
and any tree affected with a protub r.
ance of this kind should be discarded.
This Is The first thing to be looked out
for in planting trees. The shape Of the
tree IS important, but 1t is less Inn
portant than to know whether or not
the tree has a disease that will prove
deadly to itself and to other trees In
the same orchard.

A farm exchange says:
1t is reported that in some sections

Place for the Sheen.

, A place for the sheep should be
found in the plans of nearly every
farmer A small flock Of sheep can
be kept on nearly every farm, while
Q large flock would prove hard toman-
age and care for When the flock is
small it may be sheltered every night,
and thus losses from dogs avoided, as
the night is the time the sheep killing
dog selects for his expeditions. The
increased value of sheep should con
vince all that there is money In rails

titudes of farms that are now sheep

fit for foundation stock are now eV-

A great many people believe tha4
the only way to break a colt is to
throw him. hobble him or tanglr him
with straps or ropes. An Indiana horse
man tells how he prepares n colt Tor
his first visit 10 the black smiths shop
10y putting a strap around his nock,
passing 1t along the near side and be
tween the hind legs, then up ANA
through the strap around the neck ana
back to his hind Lex. The idea is to
hold on to this strap while You lift
the colts leg, and if lie kicks or strug
giles pull on the strap uutil he fails
down. This is an excellent way Of
frightening n colt half to death, md
rendering him vicious. Every colt
ought TO be handled in such a way
until, by the time he is a year old, his
feet eau he picked up easily and with
out the aid of straps or ropes. The
best appliances for breaking colts arc
the naked hands and a good halter.

At the New York State Assembly of
Mothers, prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women present that healthy
American women were SO rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be a sweeping state
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from o derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifeSts itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing down
feeling. painful or irregular menstrual
ton, leucorrhna, displacement of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
BleepleSsnesS? There is tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has restored more American
women to health than all other rene
dies in the world. 1t regulates,
strengthens and cures diseases of the
female organism as nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been curing

Handling the Annie Crop.

If apples are picked too early they
are apt to lose their tirmness and
color; and If too late, the keeping
quality Is greatly affected. The proper
time to pick is whcn the color is
brightest aud while the fruit IS yet
hard. DO not let the apples stand out
after picking, any longer than Is abso
htcly Necessary, especially If they are
to 60 to thccoll storage, The inyeSti
cations Of the United States Depart
mcnt of Agriculture show that the
keeping qualities of apples depend as
much on the handling before being
stored rs on the conditions after stor
age If YOU want your fruit to reach
the fancy markets, the straight and
narrow way Of delivering the best IN
the best condition is the only way TO
realize that aim. Careful picking at
the right time, careful sorting and
packing and careful delivery are e.
sential steps in catering to the fancy
annie trade.

FOURTH OF JULY FLAGS.


Theys Cost. M
Two-thrds of the national flags that
arc sold east of Chicago are manufac-
tured in New York. The manager Of
ono large factory in Grand street says
that 100000 flags are sold in New York
city alone every Fourth of July.
Memorial day is scarcely out Of the
way before tie business of the Fourth
sets in. Most of the small flags sold
for Memorial day are left in cemete-
RIGS and Of course are not available
for the national holiday. The most pop.
ular flag for the general trade Is little
muslin affair about n foot square which
sells in the candy stores for s cents.
Hundreds of women and girls are en-,
piosed all winter making these small
flags. They make big flags also. but
this Is branch Of the work trusted
only to skilled hands. The girls are
kept at work on the small flags In sizes
Of from four inches square to four feet.
That is the largest size in which the
cheaper grade of flag is made. The Mt
tie pine sticks to which they are fas-
tened come from the northwest. They
are shipped in great bales, each stick
of uniform length, from the lumber dis
tricts. The manufacturers saw them
into sizes to suit their trade. 81
a flag Of standard bunting. such as
s used for street decorations and In
clubrooms. costs anywhere from $25 to
$40, according to size. Some of the
huge flags stretched across the streets
in political campaigns cost from $50 to
| ST5. These are made on frames. six or
eight women working on n single flag
:, at one time. 1t takes six women about
three, weeks to finish large flag. The
construction of Old Glory requires
more care than one would suppose. If
} the bars are not sewed even the flag
, will look like bunch Of BARRIERS poles
! when It is hung. and the manufactures
has it thrown back on his hands.
i Silk flags. such as are made for ma
tional guardsmen and for presentation
purposes. are quite another proposition
The cheapest sort of silk flag costs
| 5000, and It may run to $500 without
] producing anything very elaborate. The
! red and white bars for the best silk
flags are made abroad. The difference
In cost depends mainly on whether the
decorations are in gold or silver. The
stars must be white, of course, but !,
makes all the difference whether they
are of sterling silver or silver plate
