MISTAKES IN oRcHARDlNG.
Common Errors Committed by the
inexperienced.

The first mistake l think all begin
ners make is in assuming that it is
only necessary to secure a piece of
ground, and without any knowledge of
soil adaptability plant Ben Davis trees
and then expect, without much ex-
pense or labor, to in few years reap
a golden harvest.
Another mistake is in neglecting to
carefully prune each and every year
until bearing. If a'uning is neglected
for three, four or five years at time.
it is almost impossible without great
hazard to ever get the top in such con-
dition as will make a profitable bear
ing tree.
It is a mistake, says Farm and
Home, to set trees perpendicular.
They should lean sharply, perhaps 20
degrees, to the southwest if you would
have them standing erect at bearing.
Corn, peas, beans or potatoes may
be cultivated among young trees, but
small grains or grasses never. Wheat,
rye or clover is less injurious than
oats, which is about equal to a fire in
destructive elements. 1t is mistake
to allow cattle or sheep, under any
circumstances, to pasture in apple
orchards in any season of the year.
1t is a great mistake after the trees
get to be five years old not to keep the
orchard we'll stocked with young hogs.
/ find young hogs a very efficient and
cheap cultivator to have around the
trunk of the tree, if properly encour-
aged by sprinkling few handfuls of
wheat or rye under the tree where you
want roofing done. They are also one
of the very cheapest and best eXtermi-
majors of field mice, which are getting
to be one of the worst species of apple
tree pests in some regions.
Another mistake l think we all
make, more or less, is in allowing the
grub and fiat headed borers to take
care of themselves and likewise of the
trees. Trees should be carefully ex-
amined twice year, spring and fall.
Tor these pests. Most of us only ex-
anime such trees as show by the un-
healthy appearance of the foliage that
they are affected. think the foliage

every tree for borers, whether you
find them or not.

THE ARTISTIC WALL.
One of Solid Color Will Always Give
Best Effect.

The dearest, daintiest, most artistic
wall is a solid colored wall. 1t fur
nishes a perfect background for all
kinds of pictures, it throws them out
in their correct proportions, and does
not detract from their artistic value.
The solid colored wall is also much
better as a background for furniture,
and harmonizes much more artistical-
ly with carpets and rugs than any
other method of wall treatment. The
less breaking up of color on a wall
the more artistic it is.
The most successful form of the
solid colored wall is an alabastined
wall There is as much difference be-
tween tinted walls, as there is be-
tween shoddy and Atwood gowns The
shoddy gown holds it's color for few
days, while the Atwood keeps its color
to the very last thread, so also in solid
colored walls, there are Shoddy walls
and permanently colOred walls which
retain their color down to the very
last particle. Yhe ideal wall coating
never rubs. off, never fakes nor chips
off and is always ready for a fresh
coat. If there is wallpaper on the
wall, soak it off with warm water,
then go over the plaster after you
have removed the paper with warm
water to remove every trace of paste.
Have the wall thoroughly clean for a
clean wall cannot be built on an un-
clean foundation. If there are any
particles of foreign matter adhering
to the wall scrape them off with a
putty knife. Then if there are any
discolorations on the wall, size it with
a material made from cheap varnish,
thinned down with benzine and japan
added for a drier, then cover your
wall with your tinting material
Be sure your man uses tinting ma.
terial mixed with cold water. If he
comes to you and asks for warm wa
ter, you can make up your mind that
there is glue in the material which he
proposes to put on your wall, and you
can be certain that you are going to
have shoddy wall, for glue means
shoddy Glue means that it will hold
its color long enough for the man to
collect his bill and not much longer
Insist on your tinting material being
mixed with clear, cold water. Be sure
that your wall is made from pure ma
terials, then you will have a perma-
nent, artistic, sanitary wall. A wall
that will be thing of beauty and a

FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctors Brother Thought Postum
Was Coffee.

A wise doctor found out coffee was
hurting him, so he quit drinking it.
He was so busy with his practice,
however, that his wife had to write
how he fooled his brother, a clergy
man, one day at dinner. She says:
Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided to give Postum a
trial, and we have used it now for
four years, with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now free from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink
ing.
ITO show how successful we are
in making Postum properly I will re-
late an incident At dinner we
gave, Doctor suggested we serve
Postum instead of ordinary coffee.
Doctors brother, Clergyman, sup
posed it was old fashioned coffee and
remarked, as he called for his Sec
ond cup: If you do preach against
coffee, l see you haven't forgotten how
to make it.
This goes to show that well-made-
fully boiled-Postum has much the
flavor and richness of good coffee al
though it has an individuality all it's
own. A ten days trial will prove that
it has none of the poisonous effect of
ordinary coffee, but will correct the
troubles caused by coffee. There's a

WILLING TO LET HIM DIE.
Singing Message Sent by Farmer
Worsted in Business Deal.

In the old colony town of Scituate,
Mass, once lived Deacon j, who
had a yoke of oxen he desired to
sell. The news reached the ears of
Farmer T, who lived in another
portion of the town, who was in want
of a pair. So he visited the deacon,
who met him with a gracious smile
and led him to the oxen, which were
chewing their cuds and to all appear
ances ready for any amount of toll.
After some bargaining a difference
of five dollars remained. Finally the
deacon said: II am old and feeble,
and shall not live long, and five dol
lars will be of no account" SO the
bargain was made. Farmer T. took
the oxen home.
They proved worthless, could not
work, and had been heated. He felt
provoked at being sold, and, seeing
a person the next day who was going
to the part of the town where the
deacon lived, said: "You tell Deacon
J he need not live another id
minute longer on my account.

MARKETING APPLES.
A Lesson Which the Farmers Have
Learned This Year.

Selling on the trees is an expensive
way of selling fruit, for one has to sell
at a discount. The buyer must protect
himself and he must have a guarantee
against loss from windstorms and the
like. This year the growers of apples
In Illinois found it difficult to get into
touch with the sellers. Senator Henry
NJ. Dunlap believes that the Illinois
fruit growers have learned a lesson
this year they will long remember
For few years past the buyers have
had to come to them, and the fruit
growers have insisted that the buyers
should provide packages. But this year
the tables have turned, says Farmers
Review. The growers have had to
hunt the buyers, and they were hard
/ to find This year the buyers were
scattered all over the United States
looking for apples, while in recent
years many have been found in Illinois
and neighboring states. The large
supplies Of apples in other states this
year drew away the buyers and the
growers had to hasten to get buyers
for their stuff.
Some of the buyers that generally
look after Illinois apples were this
year in New York. There they watched
the crop and tried to buy it, hoping
to get it at from Is cents to $1.25 per
barrel, or at most $3.50 per barrel
The New York growers refused tC
sell at that figure and sat down and
waited. At every large apple center
in New York were found buyers wait
ing for the farmers to come to their
senses" But the farmers did moi
come to their senses, and the buyers
had to give in. They finally paid from
$3.50 to 1926 for their apples. But in
the West the apples sold for very
in a position to pack their own ap
pies. The buyers prefer that the farm
ers pack their own apples when they
do it right. The only reason that the
buyers want to pack the apples they
buy is because the farmers do MOI
generally pack the apples as the buy
ers want them packed. Other things
being equal, the buyers prefer to have
the growers do the packing, as thai
relieves the buyers of the necessity
of packing the fruit The growers car
pack the fruit much more cheaplJ
than the buyers, as the growers car
generally get some help from theil
families, and they also have hired
men that are working by the month
The buyer has to go out and hire day
labor at a high price, and he has tt

CLEARED HIMSELF or BLAME.
Explanation of Politician That Sure
ly Was Convincing.

A recent incident in Australia is re-
lated as showing how watchful poll
tician must be in this censorious age.
Among other accounts of deadhead
nature on the books of the Westralia
railway was one setting forth that
Miss Peacock had been franked over
the lines to the value of $35, and in
stantly there was wide demands about
it. People wanted to know why Sir
Alexander Peacock's daughter was
given these privileges. Sir Alexander
himself, former premier of Victoria,
was very much hurt when he heard
of the matter, and fastened to assure
the Westralian government firstly,
that if his daughter had appeared in
Westralia, it was entirely without his
sanction; secondly, if she had made
claims upon the Westralia railways
she had done it without his authority;
thirdly, that never during his long po-
litical career had he asked his own
state, let alone any other, to extend
dead-heading privileges to daughter
of his; and, fourthly and finally, he
had no daughter, and never has had a
daughter-Boston Transcript.
