WOKE THE WRONG MAN.

So PeddIer With Backened Face

T Frank Bush, down at Brighton
Beach, tells of Jew peddler who ar
rived at a country hotel one night in
a blizzard. The storm was so bad
that he could not proceed farther, yet
the landlord had no room for him,
unless he was willing to occupy bed
with negro. The peddler baked at
this for some time, but finally became
so sleepy that he accepted the sitta-
ton and turned in with the black man,
leaving an order to be called early.
Then the boy about the hotel got in his
funny work and blackened the ped
dler's face while he slept In the
morning the boy called the Jew at the
appointed time. but when the guest
had arisen and looked at himself in
the mirror he returned to bed, saying:

Thin the Branches of Shade Trees,

Thin the Branches of Shade Trees,
1t is 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. If one will
lie under some of the thick-branched
spruce trees and look up, he will 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 if
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 deciduous tree, like
the maple, is allowed to form all the
branches it can, it invariably kills all
the grass below it. 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
ficiently to allow some light to get
through. This will not disfgure the
tree, and will save the grass. Thick
ness of branches does not add beauty
to tree, for it is obvious that limbs
that cannot be seen do not increase
the beauty of 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.

Preparation Of Orchard Soil.

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 it that need cult

and garden produce are especially well
adapted to fit the land for orcharding.

to get the soil stirred deeply, have it

Keeping Milk in Hot Weather.

!, The problem of keeping milk during

than that Of keeping milk at any other.
time OF the year. All bacterial life
thrives and the laws of bacterial life
have provided for enormous increase
OF bacteria in very short time under
summer Temperatures. Conditions
that would permit milk to remain
sweet for "A hours in the winter time
Will result in milk turning sour in IL

winter time poorly washed can
would infect the milk and result in
tlme IN souring It. The multiplication
OF the germs would be very slow, how
ever, and most of the milk would be
used up before it had had time to
sour. In the summer it is necessary
that excessive care be taken in the
washing of the milk vessels. They
should be first washed and rinsed in
cold water, which washing will re-
move most of the casein from the
s1oes OF the vessels. If hot water is
used first it will result in coagulating
Inc casein, and the latter will stick to
the sides and seams: At ordinary
temperatures it is the butter fat that
sticks to the sides. Therefore it is
reasonable, after the casein has been
rinsed out, to- detach the fat by the
use OF boiling water. In cases where
the vessels of tin are not new, soda
should be used in each can, as this

Merely pouring hot water into the
cans and pouring it out again will
generally remove the traces of butter

all germ life. After the hot water
has been poured from the cans. they
should be again rinsed in cold water
and then summed. This summing is
very important, and is made much of
by the condensing companies. They
prescribe rules that must be followed

GOT RICH TOO QUICK.
At Least That is the Charge Prefer

Abba, Jan. 30.-The only s Of
eXtortion in Monroe county for years,
will come on for hearing at the pres
ent term of court. The case is that
of the State VS.. VIM. Reasby, a con-
stable living at Buxton. The alleged
facts in the case are about as follows:
A young colored boy named Clare
was charged with ONE crime and
taken before Justice w. w. Briggs,
Nof Buxton. While the case was pend
ing Constable Reasby saw the man
and told him the case would be dis.
missed if he would pay costs, which
he stated were $50, they being in
fact but $12. j.. P. Glare, father of
the accused, offered to pay and did
pay SIS to Reasby and took a receipt
for the amount. This was Reasby's
fatal blunder, for it was the receipt
which decided the grand jury to re-
turn the indictment. 1t Is further al
legged that the costs, about $1L, were
certified to the county board on JUS
tice Briggs docket and were paid to
Reasby by that benevolent body OF
county guardians. If the above ale,
| cations are sustained it will be a
sad day Of reckoning for Reasby.
