Restoring an Orchard.

In an endeavor to furnish an ohJecl
lesson, Ernest Walker of the Arkansas
experiment station took charge of a
neglected apple orchard ana soop
brought it around all right. He made
ND his mind that the trees needed the
knife and started in on his surgical oP-
erations. The early fall pruning WaH
only moderate, as heavy pruning would
have tended to cause Il swelling OF inc
buds. or ever Il late growth. The re-
moval of large branches was avoided
wherever possible yet if Il limb was
weak or circumstances made 1t deSlr2-
Bile TO remove it, it vas promptly TAX
en- out. When the top branches were
weak or the head thin, or the tree grow
ing l~op-sided, topping was done. Care
was observed always to make the cut
in this case just above Il good slde
branch-a very important matter, as
this avoids the danger of the dying
back, frequently deemed an inevitable
consequence of topping In trees. where
much twiginess was noted considerable
thinning out was lone. On the south
and southwest side of the trees, now
ever, less pruning was done, as shade
in that, as in this, country is desirable,
and so much thinning is not necessary.
The spraying was looked after assldu-
ously and the invaded orchard was
soon doing business again.

The best farm homes ana tHc nap
pieSt families are not always to be
found where the most money is spent.
1t takes something besides money to
make q home. 1t takes ~congeniality, CO.
operation and a willingness to make
the best Of things.
When a man is busy the weeks go by
rapidly and a week is as a day. 1t APP
pears that q man has no more thar fin
ished n important job until another
Is on hand and a month has elapsed.
The man who is not busy has time
dragging on his hands.
Many orchards are neither clean cul-
tiyated nor managed according to the
Stringfellow sod culture idsa. Their
method is frequently 4 hybrid-a stab
at cultivation, but a failure to keep it
well up and then the weeds grow as
high as q mans head.
Experiments have demonstrated that
an acre of rape has the same value

and 1t has the further merit Of adding
succulence to the ration.
1t may not be possible to incorpo-
rate the absolutely ten-hour system on
the farm, but it can be approached.
There Is more to a farm life than that
of making money and saving time, even
at the expense Of arduous labor and
excessive application Of it.

White Clover.

One of the most useful plants for
lawns or pastures is white clover. 1t
does not compete with red clover for
hay, but the white variety serves many
excellent purposes on farms, when
should commend it to all stock men.
White clover In indigenous on almost
all moist, clayey soils in this climate
it forms part of the sward, II even
il not perceived at first sight, 1T Is dis
covered on closer inspection. 1t soon
shows itself after the soil has been
MANFRED with substances congenlal TO
it's nature, such as lime or ashes. Some
%cultivatorS also SOW White clover WITH
the intention Of moving it, but it re-
uuires a very rich soil to cause 1t to
grow to any considerable height. On a
soil Of this description it will sometimes
yield a crop nearly equal in thickness
to that of the common red clover, and,
according to some persons, p~referaDle
to the latter as d fodder plant, belng
of better flavor, yielding more noUr-
isiiHsent and is claimed to be more
conducive to the production of milk.
But it yields only one crop, and Is GER
tainly the most generally approved Of
| all plants that are cultivated for that
purpose. 1t is peculiarly fitted for a
pasture plant by the disposition which
It has to senG forth shoots, and the
uuickness with which it's leaves are re-
produced-a quality in which it sur
| passes the red clover. Again, white
| clover is not 50 easily choked by
weeds, but eXterminates them by means
Of it's roots, which thrust their way
through the soil; hence it does not re-
uuire q soil SO we'll cleared, and may
| with greater facility be sown after re-
peated grain crops.

Twelve whole carloads from New York,
phew! That's going some, you bet
you! OF course Denver would like to
travel in such company New York
knew It would! The twelve carloads
will be almost a week getting to Den
yer, and in that week surely Denver
might rustic a carload! No? Well,
then half n car, Inc New York will still
be generous and take 1t along.
OF course, ordinarily, you know, New
York would not think of travelling in
a class with such a white-money town
as Denver. but in a matter like this,
when we are all being generous, we will
condescend a lot and help Denver
make a reputation by tagging in with
the big show!
What must the sender of that tele-
gram have thought when he got the
polite reply that Mayor Speer sent
back? Do you suppose 1t phased him
in the least to be told that Denver had
started seventeen carloads two days
ahead of the New York train, had an
other trainload ready to start out and
that before the New York big show got
on the road Colorado towns nj cities
all Denver in New York's geography
had fifty carloads, or four such trains
las that of New York speeding on their
way to the stricken city?
Do you imagine that the reply will
at all disturb the equanimiay of that
committee that had graciously conde'
scended to let Denver tag on to their
measly little old twelve-car train? Not
| on your life. IL touched him;
he had always heard they We're awful
liars out in the west. Pshawl Such a
town as Denver send forty or fifty cars
when New York sen only twelve?
Why, it is ridiculous; they couldn't; in
the first place, there wouldn't be the
things to fill that many cars to be had
Outside of New York, you know! They
may be great liars, but they cant
shove no such story as that onto little
old New York." not on your life!
What's the use? You can't make
New York see it!-Denver Republican.

people be fatter in Cheyenne than in
