Tree Paints.

Beware of tree paint The writer
recently saw an orchard of 1900 three
year-old peach trees, all loaded with
fruit-and dying. The cause is tree
paint. The trees were rapidly dying.
the foliage was whitening and the fruit
shriveling. Wherever the paint was
applied the bark was pee1ing off and
death OF the tree was certain. Any
tree paint stops the pores of the tree
and Injuries it. Most tree paints are
made OF coal-tar and carbo1ic acid:
these substances are especially iniuri-
GUS The only safe way to protect
trees from rabbits is to wrap the trunks
with wood veneer, building paper or
laths.-Farm Journal.

Saturday, observing a nice looking
white woman and child sitting in a
farmers buggy, we approached them
and asked her if she did not want the
Aiken Recorder, and the New Idea
Woman's magazine. She replied that
she took in sewing from her neigh
bors, and would like very much to
have, them, but she had no money,
and we would, have to see her hus-
band.
A little while after when her hus-
band-her worse half-came up, we
spoke to him on the subject. He said
hecould not afford the expenditure of
81. .50a year, or even Is cents for 6
months. He could not afford to take
any newspaper. His breath, at the
moment smelt so Of rum that it was
unpleasant to stand in front of him.
IA little while after we saw him 60
into the vacant lot by the side of our
Office, take out quart bottle of dis
pensary rum, and take another drink.
He had money for liquor, but none to
spend for reading matter his wife
wanted. Surely many married wom-
en- have hard lives.
Such circumstance as this, 3 very
common one, almost inclines us to
endorse the prohibition movement
