ST. LOUIS. Mo-: July 26.-Despite
Joe Cantillon's many shifts of line
up and the good batting Of little
Milan. the Nationals fast little center
fielder. Washington yesterday lost the
second game Of the present series to the
Browns, to g. Walter Johnson. the tall
young twirler from the coast, essayed to
handle the mighty local batsmen. but he
came to grief in the first inning when the
Browns got three hits and three runs of
his delivery. Little Kelley then took up
the burden in the second. but two hits,
base on balls and two errors behind him
gave the Browns four more.
The Nationals had in the meantime,
through some dubious work by Umpire
Connolly. who was on the job alone. and
their own good hitting. tied up the score
with three runs in their half Of the sec
ond. However, Howell, who took Bailey's
place irf the second. kept their hits well
scattered, and, with perfect support be-
mind him. prevented any further scoring.
The Browns added another to their runs
in the fifth, and. nothing further in the
scoring line as done, as both Kelley and
How ell used the splitter to good effect
and kept the batters popping them up. At
that 1t took three lightning double plays
by Ferris. Williams and Tom Jones to
keep Washington from counting again.
George Stone also prevented scores when
he captured McB1de's long drive in the
seventh, with two on base and two down.
Mcbride a Star.
Mcbride put up star game for his
team in the field. although he did nothing
in the hitting line, saving to get a single in
the third which counted for nothing He
accepted ten chances without an error
and in two innings, the sixth and the
eighth, retired the Browns in one, two
three order by fast captures of ground
balls and snappy throws TO Freeman He

and the big assemblage of fans gave him
warm reception after each good play.

How to Select a Good Horse.

IL horse is sound, he will stand firm
ly upon bis legs, with his feet fiat on the
ground. If the foot is lifted from the
ground, or is thrown forward with toe
pointing to the ground, and heel raised,
be on the lookout for disease of the
navicular bone.
II toe is raised and the heel brought
down, the horse has laminites, founder,
or the back sinews have been sprained.
II the horse stands with his feet drawn
under him, he has weak muscles.
II he stands with his feet spread apart
or straddleS with his hind legs, he has
weak loins and his kidneys are deranged.
IL the knees are bent or tremble, he
has been permanently injured BY heavy
pulling.
If he has blush or milky coat in his
eyes, he will be liable to go blind at
any time. A horses mouth is not a
sure index of his age, especially il he Is
over six or seven years old.
II a horses legs are SCARED, look out
for kicker or stumbler.
II the respiratory organs are in any
way impaired, / do not want him at any
price. l want to impress on the mind
of the reader the importance of buying
good, sound. strong horses. A horse as
described above would be money thrown
away rather than inves ted.-R. b. Rush

Electric LIGHT Bulbs.

1t has been remarked that the effec-
tive life of incandescent electric lamps
is much longer with clear than with
ground glass bulbs. f. Z. Hyde ex-
plains this TACT as follows: A thin de-
posit of carbon is formed on the in
terror surface of the bulbs. and this
absorbs certain portion OF the radia-
tion from the tilament. When the
glass Is clear the light passes straight
through, suffering a definite loss from
the carbon film. When the glass Is
frosted the light undergoes many re-
fections In the interior of the bulb
from the innumerable facets, and at
each reflection II loses something on
account of the ohstructing film. The
consequence is that the total amount
Of loss is much greater with ground
glass than with clear glass. Mr..
Hyde's experiments show that the fila
ment lasts as long in the one kind Of
bulb as in the other.-Youth's Com
panion,

Correct Pruning In Orcharding.

Correct pruning is necessary when the
tree is first planted in the orchard, and
each succeeding year thereafter. 1t is
essential to prune the young orchard in
order to obtain perfect shaped top
aud to form and encourage low-headed
trees. 1t is essential to prune the or
chard regularly and quite severely each
year.
Prune the young tree to have some
thing of an open center. Start from
three to five limbs as leaders. Keep
these in open and symmetrical form,
free from limbs crossing or tapping. By
pruning each year in the bearing peach
and apple orchard, the limbs in the top
do not become so dense, nor crowd close
together, besides keeping the tree down
within easy reach.
Prune the apple tree with much care
and thought to keep the tops opened up
and let in all the sunlight. Prune in
such a manner so as to leave the top
free from large limbs crossing each
other. But do not prune to form long,
bare limbs in the trees, cutting away the
finer limbs and fruit sprouts of an apple.
The annual and sometimes severe prun-
ing of the apple has a tendency to pro-
duce much stronger growth of young
wood on bearing tree, giving larger
and finer foliage. 1t produces stronger
fruit buds, with less profusion Of
bloom; an overabundance of blossoms
seems to so exhaust the vitality that
very little of the fruit sets properly.
at one time came into possession Of
an old apple orchard, consisting of Bald
win, Northern Spy and Greening, which
had practically received no pruning for
over % years. This orchard would
bloom very full, but seldom bear good
or heavy crop of apples. The orchard
was sprayed properly, but with no bene-
fetal results. AS last resort the trees
received heavy and most severe prun-
ing of the tops early in the spring, tax
ing out as much as good wagon load OF
brush from some of these trees.
So l say, prune your large bearing
apple orchards more thoroughly and in
return receive more bountiful crops OF
fruit. An orchard thus pruned has a
tendency to bear more annually. And
by the practice of proper pruning the
largest and most highly colored fruit
can be produced.-Benton Gebhart in
New England Homestead.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1908-02-11

"Will you make it all right with
pop" he eagerly and gratefully in
quired.
With subtle diplomacy she answered
that she would.
1t was not until the next evening
that she brought herself to broach the
subject with Eunice.
When the evening chores were fin
ished and the girl was about to take
her lamp to go up to bed. she stopped
her and made her sit down with her In
the kitchen.
II got to speak somepin to you," she
began in tone of sullen reluctance,
her whole person bristling with the an
tagonism she felt against her enforced
concession. Me and pops been talkin'
It over, and We conceited we'd tell you
that you'd worked pretty good and
steady fur us and now that you're got
your age and amt got no more claim
on us we wouldn't like TO see you
TIL owed out on The world neither, see
in how we brang you up like our own.
So we Just cOnceited that rather'n let
you unprotected on the world we'd
keep on bein' parents to you, though,
to be sure, we thought to look higher
fur our Abe, him bein our only SON."
Eunice, sitting opposite her at the
kitchen table. was looking at her rath-
er vaguely. But at this reference to
Abe her eyes lost their absent gaze,
and she met her foster mothers eyes
with a fixity which the latter found al
most disconcerting.
She made no reply. but waited In 81
lence for Mrs. Mornlngstar's ramblings
to come to focus.
"To he sure, our Abe could do lot
better But then. seem you've. got him
SOS he thinks he wants you. why, us
we're not putin no hindrance In your
wny. You kin have him."
She looked for some JOY or gratitude
from Eunice. but the girl continued to
regard her tiXedly anl without reply.
Ing.
I'VE mean It," she said testify.
You're got the dare to marry him,
seein' you want him so bad. To be
sure. I guess it's hard fur you 10 take
It in that we're leavin' you have your
wayw
Still the girl had nothing to say.
"Well:" cried Mrs. Morningstar i'm
patiently. What are you got to say
fur yourself? Can't you even speak
SADLY (thank YOU to a boly?'
81 wonder what you expect me to
say"-the girls soft voice at last I'm.
swered the woman's rough tones-"to
thank you for offering me your son:"
That's little enough to expect any
how" Mrs. Morningstar retorted.
Eunice rose slowly and stood resting
her hand on the table. Had you am.
thing else to say to me?'
"You needn't go right aways. Set
awhile" she commanded. There's
some things we'd better talk out now
we're NJ IT,"
What things?" Eunice asked hesi-
talincly. not sitting down.
"Och, I'd like to know how soon you

Keep the Young Stock Growing.

Feed may be high this year and cattle
NAV be dull sale, but no matter how
high feed may be it will not pay to allow
young stock 10 lose flesh during the win
ter season. II the feed is not sufficient
to keep young things growing at the
rate of from half pound to pound
day from November till June, II will pay
far better TO sell part of them even at
sacrifice.
When young stock are kept growing
even little they go on grass IN good
condition, shed off early, and are able to
make the best use of the luxuriant grass
in May and June, making very rapid
gains. Ii they are allowed TO pass
through a period of semi-starvation.
when growth is checked, flesh lost, the
coat becomes staring aud skin harsh, IL
will take a month on grass 10 get them
started and they will not make any very
considerable gains even in the month OF
June. Flies come with July, aud the
result will be that they make no con-
siderable gain during the entire season.
More than this: The quality of the
beef will deteriorate from the effects OF
this semi-starvation. Any butcher In
cutting up the carcass of an animal can
tell by the tickness of the covering of
the muscular portions, that the animal
has passed through period OF great
hardship. In the animal that is kept
growing continuously it is very thin.
You can pick it of with your finger; but
where it has gone through period of
hardship it becomes so thick, as we once
heard John Cownie remark when dis
cussing this matter before farmers
institute, that it would almost do for a
pair of moccaSins.
We urged our farmers last September
TO tail up their herds, and in view of the
certain high prices of feed stuffs at that
period to dispose in some way of all the
animals that they could not carry
through the winter in a condition OF
thrift. A young animal that comes Out
in the spring no heavier or not SO heavy
as he went into the winter quarters has
been during all these months simply
manure factory losing instead OF
gaining proposition.-Turf, Farm and

Fruit growing belongs to farming; in
deed the two should go hand in hand.
Both can be carried on with profit on
the same farm. 1t is indeed poor
economy to attend to one interest to
neglect the other. There are numerous
places upon every farm which fruit
tree exactly fits, though, for that matter,
we never saw one out of place anywhere.
Space being all utilized, expenses are re-
duced to the lowest limit, and respect
able income is virtually assured. A
farm without fruit is of little compare
tive value. Let our farmers ponder this
these long evenings, and put it In opera
ton when tree planting time comes
