yards compared with neighboring
plantations which have not been
sprayed. The orchards have suffered
no injury from canker worm, leaf
crumpler or tent caterpillar, which
have been very numerous in neighbor-
ing orchards during several seasons.
The protection from fungus has been
fully as valuable. During the seasons
19O5-19O6 practically no loss was occa-
stoned by bitter rot, scab or rust,
while unsprayed orchards in this To-
cality have suffered seriously.
In spraying peach trees to prevent
brown rot and leaf curl the first spray
should be applied before the leaf buds
open. The foliage Of the peach is much
more easily injured than is that of the
apple, and after the trees are in leaf
the bordeaux mixture should be re-
duced to half strength.
AS the fruit reaches maturity the

The plum varieties differ consider

COFFEE DRINKING
A Doctor Says it Weakens the Heart

Tn my opinion" says a well known
German physician, mo one can truth
fully say that coffee agrees with him.
as it has long since been proven that
caffeine, contained in coffee, is an in
furious, poisonous substance which
weakens and desenerates the heart
muscles.
For this reason the regular use OF
coffee, soon or late, causes condition
of undernourishment. which leads to
various kinds of organic disease.
Convinced of this fact, I have often
sought for some healthful beverage to
use instead Of coffee. At last found
the thing desired In Postum. Having
had occasion to forbid people using
coffee, whose hearts were affected.

THEIR DEGREES OF HAPPINESS
Marital Relations of Rural Postmas.
ters Not All Serene.

The chief clerk of the post Office de-
partment at Washington recently sent
to all the postmasters in the country
a list of questions asking for certain
information, says the New York Sun,
to be used in the preparation Of the
government Blue Book. One Of the
questions in the list was, What are
your marital relations?"
The object of this particular ques-
ton was to find out whether the post
masters are married, single, widowed
or divorced. But some of the rural
postmasters did not understand, and
many answers were received in which
the persons addressed endeayored to
give clear and lucid explanation Of
the status of their married life. One
postmaster briefly stated that his do

is apt to be more of damage than a

Under present circumstances, we
have to recognize the fact that March
will be the main month for pruning
on farms and in small orchards. In
face of this fact, 1t is well to urge
the advice to be careful with the prun-
ing tools, especially with the saw and
the ak, and not to go too fast.

ABOUT SPRAYING.
Provide for a Good Fruit Year by
Fighting Pests.

The Indications are that this year
will be what orchardists call "a good
fruit year." To insure the best yield
spraying should begin early. Spraying
for codling moth is begun when the
petals are fallen, and should be given
as soon as possible after that stage.
The calyx leaves are well open and
are uppermost, and 1t is essential that
poison be deposited there as the great
er number of the early brood enter
the small apple at the calyx.
The small apple grows rapidly and
the second spraying should follow the
first in at least ten days. The larvae
that escape the first spraying will be
mature insects within short time
after the first apple has dropped, and
a spray should be given to protect the
fruit from the second brood. At in
tervals of about two or three weeks,
spraying for later broods has proved
profitable.
For bitter rot or scab, bordeaux
mixture applied before the buds open
destroy spores upon the bark and
twigs. 1t should be combined with the
second and fourth sprays for codling
moth, and II the disease has been very
serious, one or two more later spray
ings will be profitable. Other insects
and diseases have not been noted az
serious where spraying for codling
moth and bitter rot have been applied.
In some instances single spraying
has secured very great increase In
