large acreage, since he cannot grow
wheat enough to make more than bare
living. The dairy COW opens the way
to a more lucrative pursuit. Trained
effort, however, is required to handle
this opportunity to the best advantage,
and there must ne concentrated and
conscientious effort on the part of the
dairyman and every member of his
household.
1t is not my intention to say whal
kind of cow is the best for dairy
purposes. That is a problem which
daiTymen should decide for themselves,
but, as rule, the COW to keep is the
one which you fancy most and is best
suited to the surroundings you have to
offer. Pedigree will not make cow
give milk, but pure-bred sires are nec-
essary in order to have high class
grades Therefore, it is necessary to
keep pure-bred sire at the head of
the herd and also to be very careful in
the matter of selection.
Insist that the sanitary conditions
around your stable are the best pos
sible. Be prompt at milking time. Give
the herd the best of care in the matter
of feed, salt and water. Keep the cows
clean, and permit no one to use rough
methods or use obscene language in your
COW barn. Have great big heart for
your job. " Your work must be done
right; and assuredly, the farmer who is
willing to adapt himself to the require
ments demanded by the country will be
successful dairyman.

A Musical spider.

The extraordinary musical sensitive
ness Of spiders has several times been
proved. Every one has heard of Pei
lisson's spider Consoler of the unfor-
tunate prisoner, it perished because 1t
listened too closely to the captive's vio-
lin. The jailer saw it and crushed it
brutally. Gretry, the composer, speaks
of favorite spider which descended
along its thread upon his piano as soon
as he played it. When giving rscitals
at Brussels Rubinstein saw large
spider issue from the noor Of the plat
form and listen to the music. He gave
three concerts at the same hall, and
on each occasion the spider appeared.

PRUNING TREES.
Professor Thornber Tells How to
Procure Best Results.
From Washington State College. Pullman

TTOCuTS DeSt heSuISs
From Washington State College, Pullman.
In response to an inquiry from Sher.
lock, Professor w. A. Thornber gave
the following discussion of pruning:
"When trees produce too much
wood, and not enough fruit, or no fruit
at all, it is well to prune them very
severely in the summer time, say
about June; also cut them back at
that time. This is to give the trees a
check, and make them produce fruit
buds, rather than wood. Here at the
station, in the case of young trees, we
do considerable early spring, or winter
pruning, N order to make the trees
produce large quantities of wood. We
are thoroughly convinced that it is
well for a young tree to produce large
quantities of wood, even though you
have to cut it out the following spring.
This extra growth gives splendid
root development, and this is necessary
before you can secure good tree. In
the case of trees that have been graft
CO1 WOulu lCCOIlllllCllO IlIdJ yOu IC~
move the suckers just as fast as the
scions seem able to take care of the
entire food supply. In cases where
the tree is very rank grower, l fre-
quently leave few suckers around the
graft, so that the graft may become
hardened, and not make such a soft
growth.
Another good plan, at times feas
ible, is to keep an orchard in grass,
and check the growth somewhat in
that way. The western soils and an
excess of moisture are very conducive
to heavy growth of wood; therefore
it is somewhat advisable to grow grass
in the orchard, with the idea of check
ing the growth in this way. Some of
our most successful applegrowers west
of the Cascades, make practice of
growing grass in their orchards to pre-
vent the growth. The station does
not advise you to make use of any
kind of fertilizer whatever. A small
amount of potash would serve the pur-
pose to make the trees more fruitful,
but under no conditions do we advise
the use of barnyard manure, or nitro
gen, since this would only exhilarate
the growth. In your locality. / think
you could grow the Gravenstein, North
ern Spy, Rhode Island Greening, Jona-
than, and probably the Golden Russets
very successfully. The station now
has specimens of these apples from
your locality, and they certainly show
up WELL"

Public Bath. of Large citi...

Our present national movement to
get the denizens of our congested cities
next to godliness is now progressing
rapidly, according to reports being re-
ceived by the Federal bureau of la
Dor, which show that about 40 Of our
big urban centers now provide public
baths. Among these Boston takes the
lead with 10 public bathing beaches, IL
public floating baths and one public
pool Next to this record of 23 public
baths ranks that of Greater New York
with 20, and then that of Philadelphia
with 10.

Mans New Lid.

There is new belfry covering for
the up-to-date man. 1t arrived from
Paris and is called the King Edward
hat. This masculine headgear is built
on the lines of the feminine flower pot
lid and is blocked to resemble the he'll
met that the man who pounds the pave
wears. The hats are made of the same
material as the ordinary black derby.
Instead of a ribbon bow on the band
a buckle clasps it. Several people who
arrived from Paris recently wore the
new lid. They say the King Edward
hat was introduced to France on the
kings recent visit.

A farmer residing near Larane in

A farmer residing near Larane in
quired about the common sorrel." /"
Professor Beattie replied:
"This is not an extremely serious
weed, although sometimes it does dam
age. If the sorrel has a tendency to
choke out the crop, it is an indication
that the land is rather deficient in
available plant food. You could i'm
prove the condition of your region by
growing some crop of alfalfa, clover,
vetch or peas, and plow such crops un-
der, as this would put humus. in the
soil, and improve its condition. On
the West side, this weed is very abund-
ant in the worn-out soils, and the farm
ers find it desirable to lime the soil,
to make more available plant food. -
