Low Heads for Fruit Trees

l have no arbitrary height at which
fruit trees should be headed; any
height below "a inches will do. This
may seem too low to most people, espe.
cially those who are in the habit of
growing and pruning apple trees into
forest trees. But bear in mind that
we want an apple tree and not a for
est tree, that we want fruit and plenty
OF 1t, and not fire wood. The nursery
men are willing to supply low-headed
trees II we demand them, but as long
as we prefer fishing poles and whips,
we will be served with them. 1t NAV
cost more to grow low-headed, sticky
trees, since a fewer number are grown
on a given area. 1t demands more
labor, but the time is at hand when
the fruit grower is willing to nav if
he can get what he wants.-Prof. e.

A ROAD PLANE.
Implement Which an Ohio Farmer
Is Using to Keep the High
ways in Repair.

Upon the highways adjoining our
farm, we are using a road plane that
keeps the roads in excellent condition
for the travelling public and is but
very little labor for us, says George w.
Brown, of Mount Corey, o., in writ
ing to Farm Journal. This implement
is made of two solid oak planks 2xS
inches and nine feet in length, set up
edgewise and framed together by XXI
scantling, braced in the back with
short iron braces. The lower edges
of the plank are beveled upon the
back, and are shod by boiling on tire
iron from discarded grain drill wheels.
An evener and doubletree3 taken from
the harrow complete the outfit. We
hitch our team to this plane and drag
it down one side of the roadway and
back the other side, grading all the
dirt to the center Of the track. When
rains come, the water quickly runs
from the roadway and leaves it in good
condition for travel.

THE CADDY'S COMMENT.
One That Was Not Very Compliment
tary to Professional
Player.

Walter J. Travis, the golfer, set up
lis ball, and then made half dozen
swishes at the short grass with the
driver, relates the New York Tribune.
II am not in good FORM he said, II
am playing like a broker We had here
last week.
This broker played once around,
making a dreadful exhibition of him
self. or this. though, he was not
aware. He was doing pretty we'll for
him.
The mans caddy was an unusually
quiet, stolid lad, boy with q freckled
face quite devoid OF expression.
And since the caddy never once
laughed or sneered at his bad play,
the broker took fancy to him. And
he said at the end of the round, in
the hone OF Sc ting n compliment:
81 have been travelling for the last
six mont S. l am quite out of prac-
tice. That is why | am in such bad
form to-day.
The caddy replied calmly:
Then we've played before. have
ye sir?'
