NOT A VERY JOYOUS MEAL
Student Took Supper with Professor,
But It Was Rather an In
hospitabIe Affair.

A graduate Of Washington and Lee
was telling a story of one of the pro-
fessors of the famous Virginia institu-
ton. This particular pedagogue was
known as. close and crusty, and conse-
quently he did not stand ace high
with the students.
One of the features of college life,
of course, was seeing that the fresh
men did not pine because of mo-
notony. Occasionally the sprouts they
were subjected to took the form OF
bogus invitations to dine with mem
bers of the faculty. A member of the
| baby class who didn't know much
about the professors received such
| note from the prize tight-wad of the
faculty, and accepted it in good faith,
SAYS the Louisville Courier-Journal.
He turned up at the learned mans
home in due season and rang the bell.
"Well, what is it," growled the pro-
lessor as he opened the portal about
three-eighths of an inch.
"Please, sir, I've come to supper,
said the somewhat abashed freshman
The professor gazed at him mo-
ment in establishment and then opened
the door to allow the unexpected
guest to enter.
IF you've come to supper, come on
in," he said.
The freshman related that mush
and milk composed the menu, and
that the sole conversation between
him and the unwilling host, who he
discovered toward the close of the
festivities had not invited him, was
the teachers announcement that ne
retired early and his acquiscence and
consequent departure.

The complete success OF the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through it's use were we'll described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"A feature Of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that tie White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 265O-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con
venient, and not once during the triE
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and

Deep cultivation during the early Pc
Rod will produce deep rooted trees.
Such trees will withstand severe
drought, and the roots will develop
a large feeding area.
The object of pruning is primarily
to shape the trees to desirable form
and to remove superfluous wood, dead
and dying branches. AS a rule, fruit
growers are apt to do either too much
or too little pruning. If trees are
properly pruned and formed during
the first three or four years after
planting, little subsequent pruning is
necessary. l recognize, of course, the
necessity of vigorous pruning in an
old orchard that has never been in
telligently cared for
The numerous complaints of fruit
growers that spraying has not helped
their orchards are due entirely to
their failure to follow simple direc-
lions. Spraying is different from or
binary farm operations; every detail
must be attended to if success is to be
attained. The spraying must be done
| before the pests have made any con-
siderable inroad upon the trees, for
it should be looked upon more as a
preventive than as a remedy. The
fungus diseases. and insects are in
great measure controlled by the clean
| culture method, which does not pro
vide a place where insects may be
harbored in winter.
| 1t is a we'll known fact that the
! fruit tree will set more fruit than II
is capable of supporting and bringing
to perfection. To aid nature in its
work growers should take away the
extra fruit. The vitality of the tree
is used up by the number of seeds i
is permitted to ripen, not by the size
of the fruit. 1t is readily seen that b!
removing some of the fruit we con
serve the fertility of the land, as vel
as aid the tree to properly mature
the remaining fruit. A tree that ha
thus been thinned will bring fortl
more fruit per bushel than other trees
and besides this, the fruit from
thinned trees is superior in color, siz
and quality. Such thinning shoul
not be done, however, until the natul
al drop of the fruit is over.

HINTS FOR CARE OF ORCHARD
Numerous Complaints Of Fruit Grow
ers That Spraying Has Not Helped
Due to CareIessness.

It is generally admitted that the
fruit growers as a class represent the
best intelligence in their community.
However, feel that there is need 1or
a general awakening among our fruit
growers as to more rational metnods
in the care of orchard fruits.
The old idea that an apple tree, att
er it has once been planted, should
be able to take care of itself and bring
forth an abundance of fruit can no
longer be maintained, since such
method is neither economical nor
businesslike. Fruit trees of whatever
kind of nature need as much or more
care and attention throughout the sea-
son as any crop grown on the farm.
The orchard should be cultivated
throughout the growing season 1mme-
diately after it has been set out and
until about the middle or last week
of July. Then some kind of clover
crop should be sown to aid the trees
to ripen up the wood and to provide
| cover to keep and hold the snow
throughout the winter. The orchard
should be cultivated once every ten
days, and more frequently if heavy
rains intervene, for after every heavy
! rain the orchard should be cultivated
| to conserve the moisture. The first
cultivation should be quite deep, and
in a young orchard the pillow may be
utilized. If the trees are old and the
roots have grown to the surface the
disk harrow is an ideal tool to us2

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead Of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use OF the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types Of cars.
There were some people. however.
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White

ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid

From the standpoint Of the public,

been selected. First of all, the dis

from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This

showed that kerosene is at least

of the new White Steamer is that

has kerosene proved to be, that it is
