Get the pigeons tame: keep them so.
There is more profit in pets than in scary

Indigestion Is produced by overlooking

Two-year-old gobblers should be used with
two-year-old Hens.
For a five-acre lot. three broods Of little

The stock should be changed every third

Prof L. II. Bailey, Cornell College OF Agri-
culture.
There is an old adage which saws: "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. its root system and food
supply, and the superficial growth of the
plant. The more active and efficient the
root, the larger the top. II we remove
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 vigor of the tree,
while summer pruning only pinches the
growing points.
The object Of summer pruning is to les
sen the number OF leaves, so that the growth
of the wood may be checked This should
not be done too early as It may stimulate
wood growth, and II 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
