giriies did quite a stunt the other day.
Her father has farm and wood lot situated
a mile and a half from their home, and the
little maiden, without her mothers knowl-
edge and consent, trudged the distance
through the woods and all alone to where
her father was chopping wood. When she

she should have done if she had met a

Hoes AND APPLES. Following is sum-
mary of the Waldo county reports to the
State Department of Agriculture:
No material increase in pork production
is reported. Pigs are not usually kept on
green feeds in the early part of the season.
Per cent of the farmers who are using barn
cellars for storing dressing, 45. Hogs are
quite generally kept on the manure in these
cellars. A small per cent of the apple trees
were sprayed, with good results in most in
stances. A marked increase in the per cent
of trees killed last winter is reported, the
Baldwin suffering most. Several opinions
are given as to the causes of this increased
loss in trees, among which are the extreme
temperature and condition of the soil,
changes in temperature in the spring, and
the frosty location of orchards.
