LET AL PULL roosrhER.
Necessity Of harmonious Efforts on
Part Of Citizens.

The principle of working together
aud accomplishing more than indivtd
ual effort may accomplish is the real
reason for associations. secret SO
cieties. fraternities. organizations OF
every sort. Pulling together does
things which nothing else may accom-
plish. Its value Is very great.
There 10 q danger. too. In uniting
oneself too closely with others. lest
ones liberty be involved. But that
lies wholly In the construction OF the
combination. II properly put together
1t may accomplish the ends desired
without curtailing the freedom Of the
associated individuals. However, We
desire to say q word about working IN
harmony, whether In actual associa
ton or without any definite organiza
ton.
When partners work together the
accomplishment Of the arm 10 Tar
greater. When merchants OF q town
resolve to work together for the beae
fit Of themselves they do things worth
doing. When the business Interests
of a state resolve to bend their united
energies to the fulhllment OF some
thing needed the chances OF success
are multiplied by geometrical progress
sion.
There 10 not . city In the country
against which at some time the
charge has not been laid Of seifishness
and hoggishness. Yet these cities are
no more selfish than any other asgre
cation OF people. The man who sets
al outs cities and towns and country
sides may not do It through any save
a mistaken sense Of loyalty TO his
home: but for all that he does dam
age. He makes a mistake. 1t Is
selfishness in itself TO- try to belittle
ones competitors. II leads to envy
and a host of evils,
Your town may have al the good
honest, generous folks on the face Of

Young man, name a business In
which you, as an individual, will have
the chance rs years hence that you
have in good apple orchard.
Coarse bags OF cloth flied with
soft, homemade lye soap and hung
up In the tops of each prong Of an
apple tree is a safe and cheap rem.
edy for the San Jose scale and all
other bark lice. The rains cause the
suds to run down all around the limbs
and trunk.
The fruit farm is profitable farm
II rightly managed, but 1t is one on
which crop may be easily lost by
an early or late frost.
The winter apple is probably more
In demand and for longer time than
any other fruit grown in temperate
America.
We seldom stop to think that the
orange is not a fruit that is native
to the American continent. The first
orange trees ever grown in this coun.
try were planted by the spaniards at
st. Augustine. Fla. about so years
before the pilgrim fathers came to

GET READY TO SPRAY.
MS~ 10 the Time - Prepare for the
he PruitIns Season.

Every person that has an orchard
should mak6 preparations in the win
ter to spray that orchard, for BY
spraying alone can the orchards BE-
protected from insect and fungous
pests. Th4 men that still refuse to
credit the value of spraying have
nothing but their own observations
behind them, while in favor of spray
ing is . world Of experience by the
best and most successful orchardists
in the country. Can the opponents
of spraying point to a single large
orchardist that does not spray his
trees? We believe not.
Spraying the trees protects them
and their fruit not only against many
insects, but also protects them
against a large number of fungi,
many of them 50 minute that they are
not observed until they have obtained
a firm hoid Of the trees. In case
the San Jose scale is present 1t is
necessary to do the work of spraying
In, the winter while the trees are dor
mant.N Any man that buys a spray
ing OUTFIT will receive with that out
fit full directions for using all kinds
OF sprays and when to use them.
The man that delays very long now
is not likely to do any spraying this
season. A man might as well not
spray at all ii he does not do it In
time, and frequently the time during
which the spraying should be done
to combat certain pest is very linn
tied.

VALUE OF WOOD ASHES.
They Will Give Rich Returns u Ap,
piled to Fruit Trees.

Where wood Is burned save the
ashes. They are too valuable to be
thrown aside with those from the
coal fires. Ashes left from burning
brush, ETC.; even when in small guam
tity, should also be utilized, as the
potash In them is splendid Serti-
lizer for fruit trees. distribute wood
ashes under peach trees during the
winter as fast as they accumulate,
sometimes spreading them on top
of snow. The result on the trees and
fruit is marked.
Wood ashes will have tendency
to overcome, with apple trees, the.
of year in bearing. When spreading
ashes remember that the roots of a
tree extend for some distance; there
fore do not put them too near the
trunk, but scatter them about at
some little distance. depending upon
the size and shape of the tree.

Cleft Grating from start to Finish,

es and placed in moist sand, where
they will not freeze and yet will be
kept cold enough to prevent growth
Good results may be followed by
cutting scions in the spring Just be-
fore or at the time the grating is to
be done. but 1t is much better plan
to cut the scions In the fall.
The stock is the tree or part of a
tree upon which or into which the bud
or scion is inserted. For best results
in grating 1t is essential that the
stock be in active. growing condi-
tion.
When in the spring the sap begins
to move in the stock, be ready: this
occurs early in the plum and cherry.
and later in the pear and apple. Do
the grating IL possible on mild day
during sho@ery weather. The neces-
sary tools are q chisel or . thick
bladed knife or q grating iron with
which to split open the stock after
1t is sawed OF smoothly with fine
tooth saw a hammer or ma1let to
aid the splitting process, very sharp
knife to trim the scfons, and . supply
OF good grating wax. Saw OF q
branch at the desired point, split the
stock little way down, insert .
scion at each outer edge-taking care
that the inner bark of the scion fits
snugly and exactly against the inner
bark Of the stock. This-together
with the exclusion Of air and mois-
ture until union results
the secret Of success. Trim the scions
wedge-shaped. as shown in the pic
ture; insert them accurately; the
wedge should be trine thicker on
the side which comes in contact with
the bark. Then apply the grating wax
and the job is done.
