A MATTER OF HEREDlTY.
Agnes Had Only Followed in the Foot
steps of Her Mother.

Even if there had not been kernels
of rice on her hat and glad light
of love in her eye any bachelor could
have told that she was a bride. And
the manner in which she spoke to her
husband showed they had not been
married long.
A man in the passing crowd spied
the couple, and rushed over to greet
the bride.
well, well, Agnes" he cried, ex.
tending his hand, you don't mean to
say that you're married?"
"Why-why, yes" the girl STAN
mered, vivid color mounting to her
cheeks, as she tried to defend heI
novel situation. "You-you know, II
runs in the family. Mother was mar
ried, too"

Pull out the stumps.

To get rid of large stumps get a
straight tree 25 to 80 feet long and -
to 1S inches through at the butt. Get
a strong chain, the stronger the bet
ter. Attach a good yoke of cattle to
the small end OF the lever and draw
1t to the stump. Pass your big chain
around large root and the lever at
the same time about three feet from
the butt. Fasten the chain tightly
and start the team, driving in cir
Gle. See how easily the stump will
twist out. A small stump will come
out whole, bpt large ones will usually
split in two or three pieces. These
can be piled and burned after dry.

PRUNING SHRUBS.
Judgment in the Work lie an Essential
Factor.

No two shrubs or varieties of shrubs
should be pruned in the same man.
ner One important object in prun-
ing is to keep down the growth of
superfluous wood. Another is to keep
the shrub in such shape that 1t will
be attractive. In old times 1t was
thought that pruning should be in
the direction of the artificial, and
shrubs of all varieties we're trimmed
in the same general manner. The re-
suit was mass of shrubs all trimmed
in about the same general manner
The artificial effect was not in ac-
cordance with what is now considered
good taste in landscape gardening,
and the natural tendency of the
shrubs is now considered. Every
shrub has it's own habit of growth,
and this should be encouraged. 1t is
not desirable to have one variety of
shrubs look like another variety of
entirely different nature of growth.
Shrubs should be pruned little each
year rather than a great deal in any
one year. The cutting off of COM
paratively large branches is as detri-
mental to a shrub as the cutting of
OF big limb is to tree. The prun-
ing should be so given that the shrub
will become more graceful from year
to year. This means taste on the
part of the pruner. This is a limi'
tation that cannot be escaped. If the
pruner has not that indefinite thing
| ua COLL pood taste his DruninP work
will not be good, but for this fault
there is no remedy, unless 1t be the
securing of pruner that has taste.

FertiIize Literally.

Orchards should be fertilized llber-
ally in order to keep up the fertility of
the soil. Mineral as well as vegetable
fertilization is necessary because a
crop of apples removes much more
potash from the soil than does wheat,
1t requires large quantities of both
vegetable and mineral matters to pro-
duce trees. Unleached wood ashes are
excellent and If potash is used in the
muriate form from 200 to 300 pounds
to the acre should be sown broadcast
among the trees.

Cultivation of Garden.

Few gardeners fully realize the i'm
portance of cultivation in connection
with garden crops. Cultivation should
never cease while crops are develop
ing. The general feeling ia this re-
gard is that it is too much work.
Planting that is properly done will
permit of the cultivation being dope
with horse power, thus facilitating the
work of cultivation. instruments suit
able for small vegetable cultivation
can be purchased to be worked with
horse power, and effective cultivation
will bring ample returns for all time
spent at 1t and all work done.

Usual, rallied against our bad roads.
He said that a friend who lived in

"The country is all right in the sum-

COLOR AND FLAVOR in APPLES.
Apples from Cultivated Orchards
Bring Best Price.

1t is claimed by some that apples
from uncultivated orchards are more
highly colored, have a high flavor, are
firmer and keep better.
On the other hand, these apples are
usually smaller, and statistics recent
ly compiled by the Cornell university
show that the apples from cultivated
orchards sold for a slightly higher
price per bushel during the past five
years than did, those from the or
chards that were not cultivated. That
is to say, the extra size of the apples
from the cultivated orchards more
than compensated for whatever differ
ence in color, flavor or firmness there
may have been.

STORING SWEET POTATOES.
A Suitable Building and Good Care
Are Requisite to, Success.

If possible dig the potatoes on a
sunshiny day. Leave them in the
windrow till afternoon, then remove
them to the dry house and place them
on the racks. Care should be taken
that they do not touch on the rack.
A house 4Ox100 feet will hold 1000
bushels. The racks should be five
inches apart all around the house as
shown in the cut. If the potatoes are
small you can have the racks nearer
together. The object is not to have
the potatoes touch. They always go
through a sweat, and will soon decay
If they touch each other.
The stove should be in the center
of the building. Keep moderate fire
until they are thoroughly dry, then

they will not touch, then enough shaw
ings to cover them we'll and so on un-
til you have packed them all. Then
remove to a place secure from frost.
If you have dry cellar they can
be placed in it. The essential thing
in keeping sweet potatoes is dryness.
If you wish to keep just a few you
can dry them and wrap them in pa
per separately and lay in a box.
When ready to ship pack in venti-
lated barrels. Fill the barrels round
ing full, put cover on and screw on
the top so there will be no chance for
the potatoes to move in the barrel.
They are packed in the barrels just
as you would pack apples for ship

Spray for Scale.

In order to get rid of the San Jose
scale it is well to spray both in the fall
and in the spring. Where the scale is
bad they are so encrusted on the
branches as to be four or five deep.
consequently only the tops receive the
benefit of the spray. 1t is, therefore,
advisable to give a second spraying
In the fall the scale are less resistant
than in the spring.
