Work in the experimental orchard of
the University of Wisconsin Agricultural
College has demonstrated the practica-
bility of thinning and spraying as factors
in the production of fruit crop. The
orchard has produced good crops for the
past four seasons. Owing to unfavora-
BILE climatic conditions this year the
yield of apples in most parts of Wiscon-
sin and other states is very light. The
university orchard, however. is produc-
ing an average crop of fruit of fine size
and quality. 1t is readily seen, when
wind-fall apples are worth 81 bushel
and picked fruit $3.50, that it pays to
give the orchard special attention

 Hap WaSssss stage manager framed up the rapid fres humor which Hap didnt get of. But Hap has the. facul- ty of getting people around him who have the talent for sale. and the col lection he presented to Montgomery idlers who wanted a laugh last night came up to the invoice.
 Just why they hung Not Yet. but Soon" to the piece presented last night is one of the many things that the average American hasn't time to reason out, The best solution Is that 1t does just about as well as any other But there is a fabric on which some new jokes were hung. There was al SO some clever dancing. a splendfdly drilled chorus with pleasing volume . in the choir work. and sufficient number and variety of ballads to sat isfy the most signing soul.
 Lucy Daily. whose years before the American public are many, but who has always been pleasing for the very energy which she puts into her work was among those present. Erred Wyck- off, as Keeper Sane was a tickle, and the several inmates of the Insane asy- lum found ample opportunity to ex- ploit their specialties.

 Much. Strengthens the Kidneys And Helps Them Filter The Psssess From The BIood--said to overeene Even Chronic Cases of
 Rheumasissn.

A leading health journal. in answer- ing tho question. What Is the hest prescription to clean and purify the blood.'' prints in a recent issue the fol- lowing; Fluid Extract of Dandelion one-half ounce, Compound Kargon one oince, Compound Syrup Sarsaparillas three ounces. Shake we'll and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime.
 well known local druggist who Is familiar with this prescription states that 1t is harmless. being composed of simple ingredients which can be ob- tained from any good prescription pharmacy.
 It cleans the blood of ali ssapaEsssss and noprishes the blood. Tn Jnss few days the skin, begins to clear of soras, boils and pimplea. It puts vigor and energy into rundown, debiiitated men and women. For many years Sarsa-S pariila alone has been considered Q good blood medicine But while It purities remained within and the good accomplished was enly temporary. Sarsaparilla, however, when used in combination with Compound KArEon and Extract Dandefion works wonders. This combination puts the kidneys to work to filter and sift the waste mat ter. uric acfq and other impurities that cause disease. It makes new blood and relieves rheumatism and iam0 back and bladder troubles.
 This prescription Is better than the usual patent medicines. which are in the most part alcholic concoetiena. The ingredients cost but little and are easl- iy mixed at home Every man and woman here should make some up and try 1t # they feel their system requires | a good blood medicine and tonic The Kargon to clean the Kidneys and vitalixe them So they can clean the blood, Sarsspariila to make new rich blood and pandelion to tone the stomach. clean the liver and make 1t active and relieve constipation G the way the prescription acts and so mild ly and gently that one does not cens slider they are taking 6 medicine.

Hints for the Laundry.

flat trunk tray in the laundry is what the tin tray in tine dinins rseasa sand Kitchen. Keep one on the side when Ironing table linen. Lay the napkins, doiIies and lunch cloths in the tray in separate piles. When all v done these are all ready to take up and put away. % W
 To save fins curtains strntch them evenly. Before washing hnste q "trip of cotton cloth two inches in width or less around the curtain. SeiSedge edge preferable as ft does not ravei. Then pin the cotton instead of the cur- tains to the stretchers, which prevents tearing.
 To prevent the wind from tearing hems on of sheets when on line, deu- ble the sheet and hang up by corners. You will have no hems torn Sheets taken through the wringer crosswiss will iron out with less difficulty. The redges will not curl.
 7 Many object to plaited wash dresses because they are hard to iron. Try the following plan: After ttting the skirt around the top and bastlng ths plaits a little way down the edge. stitch each piait all the way Gown as near the edge as possible. Then stich plaits in position aroEnd hips. When the hem ID turned up. stitch the inside edge of the plaits the depth oi the hem. All deep pfaits or tucks in a waist can be treated in the same way, and the laundering of such q gar nent becomes 6 simple matter. This ls an idea of my own and all who have tried 1t like 1t.
