THE OFF YEAR.

In Fruit Production Do Not Allow
Trees to Overbear.
When fruit trees overbear they have
not enough vitality to produce fruit
buds and mature a crop Of fruit the
following season, and they have to rest
and recuperate year so as to produce
q crop the year following, and then
they have too many again, and so on.
Annual Bearers.
! think there are two ways to help
make the trees annual bearers. One
way Is to thin the fruit severely and
the other TO stimulate the growth Of
the trees so they will not set so many
fruit buds, says writer In Rural New
Yorker BY removing more than half
OF probably three-fourths of the small
fruits that set early in the summer
the trees can usually form fruit buds
enough to make a fair set Of fruit
the following spring, and If it is prop
erly sprayed it will be likely to mature
and make fair crop. and by continu-
Jug luul pIdCllNS Jcot dttCi yCot ~ 40
possible to have fair crop every year.
Since we have been thinning our APP
pies we have fair crops where given
such treatment every year. One crop
is usually heavier than the other, but
still there are enough to produce at
least three fourths of crop of very
fine fruit
AS to Using Fertilizers.
If an orchard were in good sod and
fairly rich soil, should not think of
blowing it up and cultivating and US
ing fertilizers unless there Is some
good reason for doing so. l should
mulch with the grass that grows in
the orchard and use any straw and
manure that may be had If need
ed. If the land Is such that 1t will
not wash, it may be possible to tear 1t
up with a cutaway harrow enough to
cultivate and use manure or a cover
crop and get better growth and help
toward annual bearing, but 1t is not
usually good practice to turn under a
sod In an orchard, as it breaks too
many roots and Injuries the orchard in
later years.

The Rrida Wins.

At Yarmouth, in st. Nicholas church,
one of the most curious objects Is
known as the Devils Chair. 1t Is
formed out of the huge jawbone of
whale and stands at the west end Of
the church. When fisher lasses get
married. they think it good for the
newly welded couple to race from the
chancel, and they believe that whoever
reaches the Devils Chair first will rule
the roost In the little household they
are about to set up.-London Graphic.

A few years AGO, while delivering
an address at public gathering,

heroicly in defence of what they be-
lieved to be right. Then / said in
substance:
There are i'm all cemeteries the

services to mankind had been just as
great, if not greater-they were faith

and helped TO build that priceless
thing called character. Why not es-
tablish the annual custom of deco
rating their graves? 1t would mani
fest a spirit of gratitude and would
impress childhood with the value of a
righteous and useful life.''
Since then this beautiful and appro-
pirate custom has been observed in
