citrate to color and flavor the fruit In
such orchards forest conditions prevail
to certain extent, and apples grown
on sucn trees are not salable. If the
trees are hardy they may be grated
and worked into good fruit in n few
years time by thorough thinning and
pruning. But the trees must be IN

should not be taken into consideration.
The same troubles would be met with
in young orchard.
To produce fruit in abundance trees
must have spreading tops. The limbs
must be long enough and strong enough
to accommodate and support large
quantity of fruit. Considerable in.
genuity is necessary to properly prune
an old tree so that 1t will bear az

the different parts, while admitting
sufficient sunshine to develop a mar

After severe pruning water sprouts
are liable to grow in large quantities.
These should be removed, as general
thing, but old trees frequently have
long stretches of bare limbs and 1t is

The "Kah-Gyur" or Tlbetan Bible,
according to a writer in the Kansas
City Journal, consists Of los volumes
OF 1000 pages each, containing 1893
separate books. This writer says
"Each Of the volumes weighs ten
bounds and forms a package &c inches
long s inches broad and s inches deep.
This Bible requires a dozen yoke for
its transport, and the carved wooden
blocks from which it is printed need
rows Of houses, like city, for Their
storage. A tribe of Mongols paid 1000
oxen for a copy Of this Bible. In addl-
tion to the Bible there are 225 volumes
OF commentaries, which are necessary
for Its understanding. There is also
large collection Of alleged revelations
which supplement this Bible.

With the planting season not far

ana plan TO remedy the mistakes made
last year, In most sections corn will
be the main dependence for stock food,
and II is right that It should be, partic-
ularly IL one is working along the line
Of increasing the yield as well as inn
proving the strain, But then there are
other grains which, at least, should be
grown in small quantities IL for no
other reason than to furnish the stock
with some variety in the feed. :,
With horses on the farm oats should
be grown. and there ought to be some
space devoted to root crops for the ben
eft Of all the stock. If poultry is
raised grow variety Of grain for their
benefit, letting it include some buck

Rags cannot be induced to leave except

Rags very nearly met his Waterloo

with a fishing party, which it had land

trary to his habits, Rags took a notion

blood tingling and lured him away into
the Shady island woods on wild chase.
The result was that when the ssaH

absence. Of course Rag did what every

it will be able to work actively in lines
not possible to a non-partizan organiza-
