chicks and hens have all the feed they want,
and they want all they get, and they get it

Best Time to Prune.
Prof. l.. II. Bailey. Cornell College of Agri-
culture.

Prof. l.. II. Bailey, Cornell College of Agri-
culture.
There is an old adage which says For
wood prune in wrinter: for fruit prune in
summer" Prof. Bailey says: There is an
exact balance between the feeding capacity
of the plant, that is. it's root system and food
supply, and the superficial growth of the
plant. The more active and efficient the
root, the larger the top. If we remove a
large portion of the top, there is an en-
deavor to supply the deficiency by an exceed
ingly rapid growth"
Winter pruning, by removing large
branches, increases the yigor of the tree,
while summer pruning only pinches the
growing points.
The object of summer pruning is to les
sen the number of leaves that the growth
of the wood may be checked. This should
not be done too early. as it may stimulate
wood growth, and if too late, the buds may
not develop. Midsummer is the proper time
for pruning.
Methods vary according to location and
conditions. In this state. where there are
more cloudy days than in the West, more
pruning is needed.
The quality of fruit indicates the neces-
sity of pruning, and many defects in the
growth of the tree which will affect the quail
ity and quantity of the fruit may be remed-
led by the proper cutting at seasonable
time
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1907-01-11

NV experience is that the hens that give
the best results at the least cost must be

MEXICO VALLOPS
MONTGOMERY SUNDAY

In the game with Montgomery City
Sunday the Mexico Athletics again
showed their ability to nit the ball.
That is what has won for Mexico this
season, slugging the ball when hits
are needed. Haight, of whom, Mo
berry could only get eight hits, was
batted of the slab in two innings
yesterday, eight runs being made of
him In the two innings.
While Haight was getting his bumps
and after him, Shackelford, Willing
BAN was pitching fine ball for Mexico.
He held Montgomery safe at all
times and had he tried could have
shut them out with-ease. For six in
nlnRs he held them easy and then let
up, Montgomery taking one in the
sixth. A batting rally was started In
the ninth but as Mexico was seven
teen runs TO the good 1T did not
amount to much. Two runs were
scored, totaling three for our neighbors
east Of here.
In the first, Montgomery went out
In order, bya fly 10 Reynolds, foul
TO Lakeland and the third man famed.
In Mexico's half the fun started.
Daniels started with an out, flying to
left field. But Pitcher followed with
a walk. Rollings was up and hit safe,
sending Pitcher to second. Reynolds
sacrificed, but was safe on an error.
There were three men on bases. Clemens
was up and hit safe, scoring Pitcher
and Rollings. Lakeland was out on a
foul. But Ed WillinRham was equal
to the occasion and hit a two Dagger,
scoring Clemens and Reynolds. o.
W~illingham bit TO Maupin, shortstop,
who was nervous and overthrow first
and Il. Willingham scored. Kidd
ended the inning BY a foul out, after
Mexico had batted around and scored
I've runs, enough to win the game.
In the second 1t looked like Mont
gomery would score. Ham, the well
known, got a walk, Maupin hunted
and was safe, Ham taking third on
the throw to first. Then Willingham
down and pulled himself on {
an awful deep hole. He made 1
,hackelford bit an easy one and get
