snyo the Rotten Trees.

When the trunks of cherry trees have
started to decay probably the best way
of checking it is to clean ont the dead
wood, paint the wound thoroughly with
whitewash, or, better yet, with Bor-
dcaux mixture, and then cover the
whole wound with grating wax or
clay, so as to keep the water out. While
this may not result in an entire healing
over of the bad wounds, it will prob
ably stop the decay, and make the trees
last longer than they would if ieft with
out treatment. Don't be afraid to re-
move all the rotten wood, as 1t adds
nothing to the strength of the tree and
has tendency to promote rot in The
new tissues. 1t is quite likely that this
rot started in the tunnel Of borer and
has gradually spread until 1t is serious.

The last ten years has seen an enor-
nous increase In the demand for men
trained in agricultural lines. The num-
Der OF such men has enormously in
creased, but the demand is not yet sup
piled.
Many of us can look back twenty
years to the time when unframed men
were at the head of agricultural in
struction in most Of our agricultural
colleges. These men had to be employ
ed because they were the best that
could be found.
One man who rose to be the chief
dairy instructor in a State afterwards
went to dairy school and took full
course, showing that he felt that he had
something to learn, even though he
himself had been an instructor.
To-day we are getting the result Of
the past twenty years of training in
the agricultural schools and their de-
tendencies, the dairy schools. The men
at the head Of the departments to-day
are vastly superior In training to the
men that occupied the same positions

Resting the Land.

Where an area of land has been very
severely overgrazed in the past it will
be absolutely necessary that 1t be very
carefully pastured for the first two or
three years. The native grasses and
forage plants must have chance TO
regain their former vigor and 90 to
seed. A very large number of stock
men advocate resting the land-that is,
keeping all stock off a period of three
or four years. That this remedy will
bring about the desired results has
been definitely proved in numerous in
stances. i. S. Cotton.

BEWARE PNEUMONIA

According to mortality statistics
pneumonia is one of the most frequent
and fatal diseases to which humanity
is subject It's action is so rapid that
its victim is often in a precarious con-
dition before realizing that anything
more serious is the matter than Sc
we're cold.
This is one of the dangers that may
follow neglect of a cough or cold. and
is therefore the best of reasons why
one should check a cold at the start.
A simple, inexpensive and effective
remedy. that will usually break a cold
overnight, is the mixture of one-half
ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine compound
pure, with two ounces of Glycerlne
and a half pint of good Whisky. Take
a teaspoonful every four hours. 1t is
claimed this mixture will cure any
cough that is durable, and provides a
sufficient quantity to last the average
family an entire year. Get the ingred-
tents separately and mix them your
self
In preparing this formula 1t is es-
sential to use only the best quality OF
Glycerine and Whisky with the gen.
uine Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure.
The latter preparation is a combination
of the active principles of the Pine and
Santalwood tgees, carefully conf
pounded to retain the healing, health
giving properties for which these trees
are justly famous. In order to insure
it's purity and freshness it is securely
sealed in q round wooden case. The
genuine Virgin Oil of Pine compound
pure is prepared only in the labora-
tories of the Leach Chemical Company,
