JUDGES KEEN SENSE OF SMELL
Had Suspicion He Could Locate the
Missing Pig.

In recent case before Judge Fee
ly of the twelfth judicial court Of
Rhode Island at Woonsocket, a great
dea. of fun was created by the diff
ferent descriptions of a pig that the
defendant was charged with stealing,
but which he claimed to have bought
and placed in a pen with other pigs,
There were such varied descrip.
tons of the pig that finally the coun.
sci for the defendant announced that
the pig in question vas within reach
and could readily be produced in
court. The air in the court room,
which was pretty we'll crowded, had
become rather foul by this time. AS
the lawyer made this announcement,
Judge Feely leaned forward and whis.
pered to the clerk: Say, Charlie, |
think ! smell that pig"

RENoVATE THE OLD ORCHARD.

Prof. John Craig says: There are
many old and some middle-aged Or
| chards, once profitable, but now
! sources of loss. At the same time,
there are men in this state who are
investing labor and capital in reno
| waiting such orchards, and find It
paying business. Will it not pay some
| OF us who have land occupied by neg
lected and unproductive apple trees TO
give them another and a fair chance?
Let me outline a course of treatment
| for such trees for this season.
|. The trees need pruning. This
should be done at once, First, take
out all the dead, diseased and int.
fering branches; remove all suckers
and sprouts from the bases and trunks
Of the trees. Second, scrape off the
toughest of the old bark with an old
hoe or other suitable tool, being care
full not to injure or expose the live
parts beneath.
,. The trees need spraying. The
first spray should be given before the
buds burst. Use Bordeaux mixture.
Consult spray calendar. Continue the
spraying as directed.
8. The trees need tillage. The sod
should be thoroughly pulverized. This
may be accomplished if the sod is
not tough, by using a springtooth har-
row or disc harrow. If sod is tough,
and dense, turn it over with a plow
and work down fine with a harrow.
Plow away from trees. and as shallow
as ploWibIe near them. Till at least
once in ten days up to the middle Of
July.
4. The trees need fertlizing. Fer
tilizers may be furnished through !
green manures. During the last half !
Of July, harrow and drill COW peas
(WhippoorwlI or Blackeye) at the |
rate of one and half bushels per acre. |
If drilling is impracticable, broadcast, |
rolling the grvund afterwards. The |
interest in the experiment may be in
creased by using different cover crops;
for instance, COW peas on one part,
Canada peas on another, and crimson
clover on a third.
5. Record your observations. In Or
der to obtain an accurate idea of the
value Of the experiment, a profit-and.
loss account should be kept. Charge
the field with cost of labor and mate
rails used, and credit it with the re-
turns. An immediate response in the
way of crop of fruit should not be
expected-this should come the Sec
ond year-but the trees will, in the
meantime, take on renewed vigor and
of health.

JeHerson's Cheerful Philosophy.

We spoke Of happiness, writes
Francis Wilson, In Scribner. Joy"

That's the proper way" he made

of our family. To begin with, we

is permitted to read aloud, and he is
begged not to read, even to himself,

babies-subjects with which the

station gives in bulletin So some wise
naXims on pruning, as follows:
l. Start the tree right
2. Do not cut out large limbs.
3. Keep your tools sharp.
4. Never prune in frosty weather
5. FrOst-bitten wounds are slow to
heal. .l@,4.. il. ..... #s...l
6. Never leave stubs in cutting off
limbs.
7. Prune annually, but never heav-
lily.
s. Wounds heal most rapidly in
spring.
8. Heavy pruning conduces to
wood growth.
10, Never use a Ratchet for remov-
ing suckers.
II. Avoid injuring the cambium in
any way.
y. Don't leave your pruning to the
hired man.
10. The more YOU understand trees
the better you will prune them.
IA. A severe heading-back will re-
new the tops of old peach trees.
10. In transplanting be careful of
the root-hairs.
1G. In traasplanting cut back top
and root.
II. Do not head trees so low as to
interfere with cultivation.
IS. Drastic pruning strikes at the
vitality of the tree.
10. Do not start all main limbs at
the same height.
20, Keep the tree free Of suckers.
q. Summer pruning induces fruit
fitness.
%. Torn wounds are generally ia
tai.
%. Paint over the larger wounds.
"a. Trees are delicate structures
and require careful handling.
Is. A heavy pruning is always fol-
lowed by heavy growth of suckers.
&c. Never slit the bark, bore holes,
or drive nails into trees.
q. Never allow stock to prune
your trees.
%. Unpruned, uncultivated or
chards are not money-makers.
20. The orchard is not a profitable
source of firewood.
80. Blackberries and black rasp-
berries should always be tipped back
in summer.
81. Prune gooseberries and cur
rants by the renewal of rotation sys-
tenn.
81. Do not decapitate shade trees.
80. Never prune evergreens.

GROWING ASPARAGUS.

Hard to Find Woodcock Nest.

There are few more difficult things
to detect in Nature than woOdcOCk
sitting on her nest. So well does the
dappled plumage of the bird harmon
ize with the dead leaves OF which the
nest is composed or, it may be, with
the withered bracken that overhangs
it, that it is hard to make out much
more than the sitting birds darkly
barred head and bright black eyes;
to trace the outline Of the body is i'm
possible. Nor is it easy to find the
nest when the bird is absent, for the
cream colored eggs speckled with
brown are so like in color to the nest
in which they lie that an unframed
eye would wander over them without
detecting them. - London Daily

The mangel wurtzel beet is q dandy"
for stock feed. Try a small patch for
your mich COWS. and you'll keep it
up. The seed should be planted as
soon as the soil can be gotten into
good condition. Plant in drills 90 to
80 inches apart, dropping from y to
20 seeds to the foot. This will re-
quire from 10 to Is pounds of seed to
the acre. AS soon as the young plants
have started sufficiently to make the
rows visible, they should be cult
waited, and should receive constant at
tention so as to keep the surface soil
loose and destroy the starting weeds.
When the beets are about two or
three inches high they should be
thinned out so as to stand six to ten
inches apart in the row, and cultiva-
ton should be discontinued as soon
as the roots have commenced to form.
