A FOOLS Errand.

An Engishman. of the eyer-serious
sort. walked into the office of a New
York hveryman and asked to see the
finest trotter he had for sale.
Il don't care about price" insisted
the Britisher, but it must be a very,
very fast horse"
The liveryman explained that he had
horse whose speed could only be
shown at night when the roads were
clear.
Meet me at one o'clock tomorrow
morning at the Claremont," he said !;
we'll be In Yonkers at two o'clock. and
that's going some"
Three hours later the Englishman
rushed excitedly into the liyeryman's
Office. Il don't want the horse" pulled
the Englishman-''I won't have 1t at

why not? He's fast" insisted the
liveryman.
But what could l do in Yonkers at

Best to Wed Country Girl.

The country girl has in many ways
a decided advantage over her town bred
cousin. As a guest, the country girl
gives little or no trouble In the house.
No special dishes have TO be prepared
to coax captious appetite, for she en-
Joys with a healthy relish everything
that is set before her. At breakfast she
is always fresh and amiable, while the
town girl is sleepily toying with a
morsel of toast.
From a mans point of view a coun-
try cousin processes many admirable
traits which he deyoutly wishes the
town girl would emulate. In the first
place, she can don her walking attire
and be ready to accompany him for a
stroll before the girl from the city
would even have decided which hat she
would wear for the occasion. The best
type of country girl makes a splendid
wife. She is not used to being PAM
pered in every little whim. and the man
who wins her has a wife who will face
any trouble with him, be 1t great or
small.

DruninK EruIf Treen

The best time for pruning fruit trees
Is on warm days from January to Nav.
More can be accomplished in the longer
days of April and May, but If there
are many trees to be pruned the work
should be commenced earlier In the
season. The time of the year when
the cut Is made has little effect upon
the readiness with which the wound
heals, but more care is necessary TO
prevent injury to trees pruned when
the wood is frozen.
A wound made. by removing a limb
heals best If the cut Is made close TO
the trunk or branch. A stub two or
three inches long does not heal, and be
comes lodging place for spores Of
fungi and bacteria which cause decay
and death of the tree. The splitting
down Of large limbs may often be
avoided when pruning by saving it
from the under side first; but, in every
case, see that the wound Is left clean
and smooth. Wounds should also be
covered Immediately with a coat Of
paint, shellac or grating wax to keep
out the moisture and spores before
mentioned Nothing is better for this
purpose than white lead and linseed
oil.
The whole philosophy Of the pruning
of plants rests upon the fact that the
various parts are unlike, that each
branch is, in measure, independent
and capable Of becoming new indlvid-
ual; that by lessening the conflict be-
tween the parts the growth Of the
whole is promoted. Pruning is a neces-
sity and the pruning given by nature.
in a neglected orchard or forest, is
more severe than the average man
would dare to attempt.
1t is often urged that pruning should
be commenced when the tree is plant
ed and continued annually throughout
the life Of the tree. 1t Is doubtful,
however, whether equally good results
may not be obtained by removing SUI
perfuous branches at four or five years
of age, ratb1r than by severe pruning
very early in the lifetime Of the tree
In other words, 1t is conteDied by
some that 1t Is better to permit the root
system to become thoroughly estah-
lished before disturbing the top.

Winter Feeds.

III the poultry grower has plenty OF
ground he should provide a variety of
poultry feeds for winter. Kaffir corn.
suntiower seed and millet, when added
TO wheat and corn, make variety
which cannot be improved upon for
young pullets and laying hens.
All of these foods can be easily pro-
vfded upon the small farm During
the latter part of June, when 1t is too
late to replant the missing hills Of
field corn, the farmer can drop a few
grains of kaffir corn into these open
lnSs. Place about dozen seed in
hill and when the plants are I'D thin
to five or six stalks. The same care
given the field corn will raise the
Kaffir corn.
Sunflowers can be planted In the
same way or on plat to themselves.
III IN the latter place they may be plant
ed as late as the last week of June.
Prepare the ground as for potatoes,
and plant in rows three feet and a half
apart, with the hills one foot apart in
the row. Cultivate IS for corn.
Ntllet should be Sowed any time in
May, June or the first week in July
on ground prepared as for wheat.
When nearly ripe cut and stack The
heads may be fed on the stalk in the
winter, allowing the birds to shell tho
seed as they want it.-St. Louis Week
