dollars in pennies and as yet the

little fruit on young trees if they
have been well pruned. This is
one of the most deplorable mis-
takes they can make, in some
cases irreparable, because a cor
rectly pruned tree will bear just
as much fruit each and every
year, and of a far superior quality,
while your orchard is increasing
IN value two or three times as
fast as one in which the trees are
not receiving proper care.
The most profitable orchards in
this valley today are the ones
where the pruning has been most
vigorously prosecuted, and it is
certain that they are the ones
that will stand the test of time
the best. Yours Truly,

His Fears Realized.

a Georgia statesman says that
while he was in the shop of an
optician in Atlanta he once over
heard an amusing conversation be-
tween the proprietor of the es-
tablishment and an aged darky,
who was just leaving the place
with pair of new spectacles.
AS the old chap neared the
door, his eye lighted upon most
extraordinary-looking instrument
conspicuously placed upon
counter. The venerable negro
paused for several moments to
gaze in open -mouthed wonder at
this thing, the like OF which he
had never seen before. After a
long struggle with his curiosity
he was vanquished. Turning to
the optician, he asked:
What is it, boss?"
That is an ophthalmometer,"
replied the optician, in his gravest
manner.
"Sho! muttered the old man
to himself. as he backed out of
the door. his eyes still fastened
upon the curious-looking thing on
me counter. "Sho. dat's what I
was ateared it 'was!"LExchange.

Make Way for The Ladies.

In Michigan there IS an Indian
school where the children of the
more or less noble red man are
instructed in Anglo-Saxon graces
and civilization. One of the teach
ers, says:
1t is very interesting to study
these children, especially as we
have them from four different
tribes.
The boys have sense of
humor. In my fiag-drill on last
Friday the partners were boy
and a girl, and where the lines in
tersect to form a cross | taught
the boys to let their partners go
first; and much trouble | had to
do it.
After the exercises Isaac Crane
came up to me, and in his solemn
way, said:
Miss B., in letting the girls
pass in front of the boys you have
struck at the root of an Indian
national custom"
How so, lsaac?"
at is the custom for the man
to go first, carrying his dignity,
and for the woman to follow,
carrying everything else"

Profitable Crops.

Twenty.s seven years ago this
editor set type and otherwise as
sisted in the mechanical depart
ment of the Fairfield, Neb., Her
aid, J. L. Oliver, editor.
Our old employer is now one
of the most successful fruit raisers
at Palisades, Mesa county, and
the following statement from him,
is clipped from the Field and
Farm. 1t actually sets forth what
can be done by progressive or
char dist in Colorado:
We will quote what J. L. Oliver
of Palisade, Mesa county, has to
say about the profits of fruit
growing: 81 have FIVE acres OF
peaches, two of cherries. two OF
grapes and FIVE of apples. My
orchard has brought me after
commission tor selling and eX-
press had been paid, over $4,000
a year-one variety of peaches
one year selling for over $1,000
an acre, netting about 500 and
for FIVE years averaging between
500 and $500 an acre, netting
over half the amount. My cher
ries sold for about the same but
expenses in handling were slightly
more. Grapes come next in
point of proht-one year ship
ping 2,055 crates, many selling at
$l.75, netting Sl.37, while l con-
tracted others at Palisade at 1.25.
The FIVE years exceeded S45, 900
in returns, one year of partial
failure slightly over $1,000 and
the other four about $4,000 One
year, to be exact was S11, ,434 54 ,
and another year $40, l94,46. This
year will amount to slightly over
$4,000, two accounts remaining
unsettled, | might say my peach
ground has netted me from $500
to $500 an acre, cherries $500 to
S400, grapes $500 to S400 and
apples $3.50 to 500. Three times
/ have refused 81 900 an acre for
my land, thus planted, and would
as strongly refuse 1,500 today.
| do not mean by this that it is
because | have the best, or in any
way the advantage Of my neigh
bors, it simply pays better to hold
it and ! have no desire to live
anywhere else"

OPINION OF AN EXPERT.
]. B. Hart, the Surface Greek Or
chardist, Talks About
Pruning.

EDITOR NEwsPAPER:-ln re-
sponse to your invitation ! will
submit to the horticulturalists OF
this county some thoughts along
the line of more vigorous pruning
while the trees are still young
In my opinion a neglect in this
important matter will in a few
years depreciate the value OF
some orchards of which | know
fully one-halt.
In many of these orchards of
which speak there are from
seven to twelve limbs in the
crown of the tree, where there
should not be over four. In a
tree of this sort when it has
attained an age of twelve or more
years it will be necessary to cut
out onc-half or more of the wood
and then it will be impossible to
make a nice or profitable tree out
Of the assortment of fishing poles
that will be left, and if the tree is
not paralyzed it will be set back
to about the size of six year old
tree that was correctly pruned,
but it will not be worth so much.
My plan is to cut out to four
limbs and cut back sufficiently to
make the limbs stiff and strong
enough to support the fruit with
out props. If the tree is correctly
pruned in its early youth you will
have all the wood just where it
should be and will not have to
cut away one half of your tree as
well as one half of its value. Be
sides il you correctly prune the
young orchard you will save at
least one half in time and a con-
siderable in amount of expense
in your spraying, 1t is settled
fact that you must spray if you
would raise good fruit and
properly pruned tree may be
sprayed with half the time and a
considerable less quantity of
spraying fluid than one that re-
sembles brush heap more than
it does an apple tree. Besides if
an orchard is carefully and sci
cntifically pruned it is constantly
increasing in value and you can
sell it to competent horticul-
turalist who would not consider
it for a minute if it we're not an
example of careful pruning.
| believe in the vase form of
pruning-cutting out the center
and cut back we'll. If the tree
sets too heavy with fruit thin out
with pruning shears. Never prop.
The fruit from ten year old
Missouri Pippin tree should all
be picked while standing on the
ground if the tree has been prop
crly pruned.
There is an almost universal

chardists that you will have but

BABY CAMEL

One of the many features Of the
large menagerie with Gentry Broos.s
Famous Shows this season, and one
that attracts more than ordinary at
tention is a baby camel four weeks
old, which was born during the pres
ent tour Of the show in indianapolis.
during the engagement of the show
in that city. 1t would not be fair
to carry this infant alone around the
country, therefore it's accompanied
by its pa and ma, which comriises
father mother and son, the only
camel family with any circus now
on the road. There are also six
baby ponies in another section of the
large nlenagerie that come in for an
unusual amount of attention, es-
pecially from the little folks, they
ranging in age from one week to five
weeks, and are not as large as a COM
mon sized poodle.
The Gentry show will give two
performances in this city Friday.
June 90, at 2:15 in the afternoon
and at s o'clock sharp at night. The
Gentry show is positively twice
larger than on its last visit to this
city, number of new and novel

day after its receipt. The only
feasible way out of the difficulty,
that appears to US, would be for
our citizens to petition the post
master of Matamoros to give us
two mails daily. This could be
done very easily and it would GER
tainly be a great accommodation
to US. Let us get to work on the
matter, for it is of importance

P. H. Vasey, newly in the real

farms lying close to town. Mr..
Hanline left for his home this
morning and with him he carried
samples of everything in the way
of fruits, truck, and vegetables
that he and Vasey could find yes
terday. Vasey says that realizing
where Hanline lived and the
peculiar characteristics of the peo-
pie of Missouri, he thought about
the best thing he could do would
be to send them the real things
that they might see them. Mr..
Hanline is a real estate man and
does a big business at home, but
he will return here on the ninth of
November and do some investing
in our country.

ton for a charter for lights and

nary work, and, we imagine, about
nine-tenthS of the whole work.
Our people have been needing
these utilities for fifty years and
have been doing. without them.
At last they have awoke to a reali-
cation of affairs and have had the
courage and intelligence and pa
triotism to come bravely to the
front and take these matters in
hand-they have put up their
money for the good of their town
and every man, woman and child
living in it and in the surrounding
country, and no one can be heard
to say the citizens of this town are
lacking in public spirit. The peo-
pie are proud of themselves and
from this instance of public spirit
and liberality will draw inspiration
and hope for other things for the
common veal, and the courage to
get them.
