ORCHARD TRIMMINGS.

Ashes are one of the best fertilizers
for fruit of all kinds.
Careless picking and packing loses
many a dollar to the fruit grower.
Plant apple and pear trees this fall.
but let the stone fruits go until spring.
With the prevailing high prices for
foodstuffs, let the farmer ask himself
whether he is getting his share.
Be sure and see that all the vege-
tables are properly housed so that the
freezing weather will not spoil them.
There are ten rules for growing ap-
pies. The first is prune. fertilize. cul-
tivate and spray. The other nine are
like unto the first
While you are thinking about fixing
up for winter don't forget the apple
trees. Unless these are protected rab-
bits and mice are apt to kill some of
the finest trees during the winter
Go at the work of growing an or
chard as you go at the work of grow
ing any other crop. Plant with care,
protect in every way possible. culti-
vate and fertilize.

PROTECTING TREES.
Young Orchards Must Be Painted or
Covered with Netting.

Young trees should be protected
from rabbits for one or two years af-
ter they have been set in the orchard
There are two systems OF protecting
such trees. either of which may be
made fairly satisfactory. One con-
sists Of painting the trunk and the
lower branches with some form OF
paint. The best formula is one gallon
OF water. one pound of soap, two to
four ounces of carbolic acid. This can
be painted on the trees with a brush
or swab of rags tied on the end of
stick
Some prefer to add enough vene-
tian red to give the mixture a good
pink color or the consistency of thick
cream. Paris green is sometimes
added, but 1t Is of doubtful value. The
paint is of value only as 1t prevents
the rabbits from barking the trees;
killing the rabbits is of very little Inn
portance. Blood from slaughterhouse
has been used with good results, but
1t is inconyenient to prepare. washes
of readily and requires three or four
applications each winter Axle grease
and coal tar almost uniformly injure
the trees.
The other system consists of wrap.
ping the trunk and larger limbs OF
the trees with some material that
prevents the rabbits from reaching
the bark. Rags, heavy building pa.
per, grass rope, screen wire. veneer
wood. and cornstalks are all used for
this work with good results. Any
material that wraps tight about the
trunk of the tree must be removed In
early spring. This does not injure the
tree. as is frequently supposed. by
forming harbor for insects.
The use of wood tree protectors,
wrapping with cornstalks and mate.
rial of that kind, seems to give the
best satisfaction of any material used.
The cornstalks can be easily prepared
by cutting the stalk with a knife,
sticking one end in the ground and
| tying the tops close to the top of the
trunk of the tree. BY using the stalks
in this way. a perfect protection can
be formed for the tree and one that
will last for two or three years and
finally fall away of decay without any
injury to the tree.
1t Is as important to protect the
trunks of the trees during the sum
mer as 1t is during the winter. The
rabbits injure the trees In the winter
and the hot sun and borers during
the summer. Trees that are well
protected from the sun seldom suffer
badly from the effects of borers. and
for this reason 1t is evident that the
protection that will shield the tree
from the sun and last two or three
years is an ideal protector to use.-

BABY BRAvED DEATH ON ROOF.
II Sat on Eavcs Trough While Crowd
Below Was Terrified.

Chicago.-Robert, the 13-months-old
child OF A. Sayers, mechanical en-
gineer, crowed delightedly while
perched on the extreme edge of an
caves trough at his home on Eggles-
ton avenue and waved his chubby
hands at terrified crowd of persons
gathered on the stone pavement be-
low. The baby had clambered down
the slanting roof of the porch in close
pursuit of a little red slipper which
had slipped from his grasp while lean
ing from an open window. Shrieking
with laughter. the child slid down the
slippery shingles toward the precipit-
Gus edge of the roof. Two floors be-
low was a stone sidewalk. But the
tin trough at the edge of the roof
stopped the progress of the baby and
Its plight was soon recognized by Mrs.
Mary Conlin, who lives Just across the
street.
With scream for help Mrs. Con-
lin fastened to the spot where the
child was in imminent danger of top
pling over the edge of the roof to the
stones below. Other persons gathered
about and in the crowd was Richard
Hogan, detective, from the Englewood
station. who quickly recognized the
child's danger and climbed one Of the
porch columns. while Mrs. Conlin kept
the baby's attention from him. At the
same time Mr.. Sayers appeared at the
open window and cautiously approach
ing the edge of the roof dragged the
child from the grasp of the officer,
who was clinging to 1t with one hand
and to the roof with the other.

PUT THEM IN A PIT.
A Coed Way to Store Potatoes Away
from Frosts.

If there is not sufficient cellar room
to store potatoes they will keep per-
fectly in shallow pits about ten inches
deep where there is good drainage.
Make the pits about three feet wide
and as long as is necessary. Fill with
potatoes and then heap the tubers up
so that they make a cone-shaped pile
like the gable roof of house.
Cover them with litter such as
straw or hay to the depth of foot,
then throw on some of the earth that
was thrown out when digging the pit.
Put on enough to hide the straw.
Then put on more litter and repeat
the earth covering also.
Before beginning to cover arrange
for an opening at one end by making a
deep frame as for a window, explains
Coleman's Rural World This is for
convenience in getting the potatoes
while the weather is still cold. This
may have an inner shutter opening
outward and an outside door, the
space between being filled with straw.
1t also must have more outside litter
over the door If in a climate where the
weather gets very cold.
1t Is also well to dig a trench Just
outside the completed pit considerably
deeper than the pit itself, so that 1t
may serve as drain.

ORIGIN OF THE APPLE.
What This Fruit Was Before Il Was
Improved by Cultivation.

Prof H. L. Bailey, professor of hor.
ticulture in Cornell university, Ithaca,
N. Y, in his volume on PLANT Breed.
Ing" gives the following interesting
history of the first apples:
"The original apple is not definitely
known, but 1t was certainly a small
and inferior grabbed fruit, borne most
ly in clusters. When we first find 1t
described by historians it was still OF
small value. Pliny says that some
were SO sour as to take the edge on of
knife. But better and better seed
lings continued to come up about
habitations until. when printed de-
scriptions of fruit began to be made,
about 400 years ago, there were
many kinds in existence. The size has
vastly improved, and with this in
crease came the reduction of the mum
ber of fruits in a cluster; SO that at
the present time, whilst apple flowers
are borne in clusters. the fruits are
generally borne singly. That is,
most of the flowers fail to set fruit,
and they complete their mission when
they have shed their pollen for the
benefit of the one which persists"

as the apparently crazed girl swayed
to and fro on the brink of death.
Policeman McShane made his way
to the sixth story OF the building, and
raised window opening to the
three-foot ledge on which the girl was
giving the startling exhibition. Just
as she was about to pass In front of
him McShane stretched out his arms,
and, closing them about her slender
waist pulled her through the opening
as her screams fioated out and
mingled with the cheers of the throng
Throwing his coat about trr, the
policeman carried her down ST.. flights
and placed her in an ambulance.
The girl was taken to Bellevue hos

was Lizette Cozlon. and that she hac

FEED THE RABBITS.
How They May Be Kept from Damas-
Ing the Trees.

Where these pests are bad 1t is not
safe to take chances on anything else
than a good wooden protector around
each and every small tree, but in
places where rabbits are not plentiful
the trees can be saved without this
expense.
Although my place is pretty well
covered with trees / use no protectors
and have not lost a single tree About
this time Of the year. depending on
the season, trim a few trees In diff
ferent parts of the orchards, which
keeps the rabbits supplied with what
they desire Of this sort of food until
the first snow storm. at which time an
other days pruning is done and later
on they are fed again in the same way.
AS stated previously, a rabbit will not
turn his head to gnaw tree II he can
get the same favorite food from
branches lying before him in a hori-
zontal position. 1t is generally one or
a few rabbits that first get into the
habit of barking trees and others learn
1t from them. II when the first barked
trees are noticed a piece of apple with
little strychnine on 1t is placed near
these trees you will find Mr.. Rabbit
stretched out stiff near there the next
morning. This medicine works quick
ly on rabbits, killing them almost in
stanuy upon eating the bait.

at far more than their intrinsic worth.
When the Crespis returned from the
theater they found the nurse CRYING
hysterically and little Pacifica trying
to comfort her, telling her that her
father and mother would be home
soon. The nurse and the two children
had been locked in side room by
the burglars before they left. They
were liberated and then Mr.. Cresoi
made out list of the stolen Jewels
and took 1t to police headquarters.
The best clew the police have to
work on is the wounded hand of one
of the men and they are searching
every man with a bandaged hand.
Among the Jewels stolen were two
gold watches, gold chain set with dia-
monds and sapphirss; rings and a gold
