PEACH TREE HEADED FOR GOOD SHAPE.

'cut back" peach trees for planting.
Good trees can be formed when cut
back to eighteen inches. but anything
more severe than this is not to be rec
commended. Trees headed three feet
and higher are at a disadvantage from
the beginning and in exposed locations
are likely to be whipped about and
loosened. from the soil by the wind. II
the trees are well branched and of
medium to large grades the side
branches should be cut back to about
three inch stubs rather than cutting
the trees tt a whip. as the buds upon
the we'll developed side branches are
usually stronger than the buds upon
the trunk and will make a better start.
The lighter grades Of trees with only
weak side branches will of necessity
be pruned to whips. At the same time
that the top is cut back all injured
and broken roots should be cut
smooth. Peach trees grown upon deep
soils sometimes have long taproots.
These can be cut back to six or eight
inches without injuring the trees. and
It makes the setting much easier.

tin shows method Of pruning the trees

The Good Census.

Ability to gather information for the
census may be gagged by a competi.
tive examination, but a census to be
valuable should be something more
than a mass of statistics. Correctness
Is essential, mor especially correct
ness combined with completeness in
data which will be pat when 1t reaches
the public.
Much of the information over which
the census bureau spends time is of
little value to the public generally. It
may serve a good turn for specialists.
The striking totals make a nine days
wonder in the newspapers that have
room to spread them. Discrimination
should be exercised by the census
makers, so that subjects Of the great
est use to the greatest number shall
be studied carefully and finally pre-
sented in q simple form. The making
Of a good census is work for experts,
but the understanding of it should be
within the range of the average mind.

The Law. and the Aviator

A Swiss professor with time on his
hands. evidently, has prepared a vol-
ume on the legal aspects Of aviation.
He finds that at present the landown-
err and householder have no protection
for their private rights, and a code of
statutes to fit the emergency must be
built up. The New York Press cynic-
ally advises the public that this is one
Of the worries that can safely be put
of till tomorrow, and always tomor-
row.
A few snugglers may dodge custom
house sleuths while the flying craze is
on. But the average citizen. who is
usually a very sensible person. will
lose no sleep over the gas bag aud
aeroplane bogies. At present the avia-
tor is the II to worry, he and posi-
bly, the life and accident insurance
man. The case against the machine
which trespasses on private rights is
doubtless fully outlined in that popu-
lar standby, "Every man his own law.

She Is of an energetic, bustling dis position: the first thing she had to learn was to make no more noise than was absolutely necessary. Then I engaged an elocution teacher for her You wouldn't believe the improve ment he made in her voice."
 In commenting on the circumstance Harper's Bazar points out the fact that women can have free elocution lsssona by Making some trouble and thought about 1t. When we go to church or to lecture. to q club meeting or . political meetin, we can listen atten- lively to the men and women who speak well and try to learn from them what qualities to cultivate. while from on the lookout for the same faults in our selves and try to overcome or at least to modify them.
 It Is far mope important Tor the woman that she should talk well that that she should sing well. People are not forced to listen to your singing, but your friends. your family. your fellow citizens have to hear you talk. F
 Avoid making unnecessary noise. Be es nearly noiseless in your house as you can be, so shall your neigh- bors bless you and your landlord re- erain from raising your rent., v Never call! toayonr children Or your If they are in anothsr part of the house either ring for them or go find them.
