How Poor Grade Of Fruit Trees Can
Be Greatly Improved.

Upon the style Of pruning in the
nursery ROY depends largely the fu-
ture shape OF the tree. The present
tendency is to head apples low and
to open up the center of the trees as
much as possible. Low heading
brings the fruit nearer the ground,
making 1t much more convenient to
spray and harvest, while the open cen.
ter admits sunlight. which gives
color 10 the fruit and assists in con
trolling diseases. To prune for this
shape. start the head about two feet
froDH the ground, allowing four or five
brXnches to grow, and prune SO as to
thr1ow them away from the center
ra3her than toward 1t, by cutting out
m<bst of the shoots which lead toward
tHa center. The main feature OF
Nursery pruning is to select the right

RAIN BADLY NEEDED.
Grass Has Turned to Hay, with No
One 20 Cut II.

Farmers in the city Yesterday from
var GUS parts of the State expressed
gre3t alarm over the present drought
1T hasn't rained for weeks" said a
man who resides on the b, & l.. road
'and the uncut grass has already turn
eli 70 hay. On many farms there is a
$ arCity Of water, the springs having
dried up, and some farmers have turn
Cd their cows into the meadows so that
they may get enough to eat"
Fortunately haying was completed
before the effects Of the dry spell were
felt, but the corn and other growing
crops are now sadly in need of rain.
The securing of sufficient farm help
has also been a hard problem for many
farmers to solve this season. Although
the pay has been larger than since war
time men have been loath to tender
their services and hayins was badly
handicapped in consequence.

EARLY NATURE FAKIRS.
The Name of Recent Coinage but the

We hear great deal nova days about

of great antiquity. I found recently an
example OF their work Is book entitled

AWFUL ECZEMA
Sight Of E ye Destroyed by Disease
Tried Five Doctors but Grew
Worse In Agony Eight Months
Parents Discouraged, Until
They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
SORES DISAPPEARED

,"our little girl, one year and half
what the doctor said it was. We called
in the family doctor and he gave some
tablets and said she would be all right
In few days. The eczema grew worse
and We called in doctor No. 2. He
said she was teething, as soon as the
teeth were through she would be all
right. But she still grew worse. Doc
tor No. said it was eczema. BY this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
week. One morning we discovered
little yellow pimple on one OF her
eyes. OF course we 'phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came oyer and looked her
over and said that Ne could not do any
thing more for her, that we had better
take her to some eye specialist. since it
was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego
to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could help it.
We thought we would try doctor No. 3.
Well. that proved the same, only he
charged $40 more than doctor No 4.
We were nearly discouraged. ! saw
one OF the Cuticura advertisements in
the paper and thought we would try
the Cuticura Treatment, 30 I went and
purchased a set Of Cuticura Remedies,
which cost me 81, and in three days
our daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in ono week all sores had dis
appeared. OF course it could not re-
store the eyesight, but IL we had used

IL would have saved the eye. We think
