menced to develop in the spring, as
the wounds heal more rapidly at the
time the tree is making it's fastest
growth, and the trees do not bleed
when cut at that period. This is par
ticularly true of the boxelder tree.
That should be pruned during the
month of May preferably. :

Not So Very Wise-The Flasher
Hustler tells of dog, belonging to
some new settlers, as follows:
"Messrs. Albert and Henry Myers L.
Vessels, s. ]. Pack and Carl Scheld-
macher, all of Logan county, Iowa,
have arrived with their families,
household goods teams and cattle, and
are moving out on their homesteads
south of town. They have dog with
them worthy of special notice. While
driving to Flasher, Monday, they lost
an old over shoe off their load, about
two miles from town. Tuesday morn
ing they discovered their dog was
missing. Shortly after a gentleman
came in from Mandan and reported
having seen a dog back on the road
watching an old overshoe. Doggie
refused to be coaxed or driven away
from his property, or to allow the
stranger to touch it, and continued
his vigil till the owner returned and
claimed the lost property" Mote
This is pretty good story, but haG
it been North Dakota dog he would
have picked up the shoe and put i
back on the load, instead of wasting
his time watching it by the roadside.
