A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE
Of Painting Requirements Will Save
Much Expense.

When one sees the surface of a
house or other building scaling, or
peeling, or spotted or bliStered, or
showing other symptoms of paint dis
ease," it is evident that poor painter
has been on the job, and that poor
paint was used-or possibly that a
good painter had been dominated by
a property-owner who knew nothing
about paint.
1t is an easy matter to be informed
on paint and painting. A complete
painting guide, including a book of
color schemes, either for exterior or
interior-speciicatio for all kinds
Of painting,-and an instrument for
detecting adulteration in paint ma
terial, with directions for using it,
may be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg,
New York City, and asking for House
owners Painting Outfit No. 40.
Then, every HORSEPOWER should
make it point to get only we'll
known reliable brands in buying his
materials. Pure white lead is espe-
cially important, or the paint will
not prove satisfactory. The famous
Dutch Boy Painter trademark of
National Lead Company, the largest
makers Of pure white lead, is an alb
solute guarantee of the purity and
quality of the white lead sold under
it. That trademark is safeguard
against paint trouble.

These are cut back to the base of the

To Honor Ladies of White House

To Honor Ladies of White House.
It is unfair and uncourteous in us as
a nation that all of the wives of our
presidents are not represented among
the portraits in the White House, and
it is hoped that this stigma may soon
be removed, writes a correspondent.
An effort is to be made to enlist the
women of the states who have had
the honor of having a daughter who
has been the mistress of the White
House to club together and place her
portrait upon its walls, as the women
of Tennessee did for Mrs. Polk. In
this effort care will be taken that only
the best artists are commissioned with
the work and that a uniformity of de-
sign is followed in all the pictures.
The most historic part of the White
House-that is, the collection of presi-
cabinets standing in the lower east
corridor of the mansion. Soon after
Mrs. Roosevelt became the mistress of
the mansion she saw that there was
nothing in it representative of the
great majority Of the presidents who
have occupied the high office beyond
their portraits. This and the desire
to save something of the presidential
china which was then in the White
House led her to start the collection.
She was so successful in this endeavor
that the collection now contains some
piece of china, plate or glass which
was used by every presidents family
except those of Zachary Taylor, Will
liam Henry Harrison, Tyler Van Blu
rem and Johnson, and efforts are now
under way whereby it is expected that
the collection will be completed within
a year. 1t has been made part of the
bureau of public buildings and grounds
and is the permanent property of the

institution Is Proud of the Fact Thas
in Its Entire History Not
One Plate Has Ever
Gone Astray.

The system of checks employed to
prevent irregularities in Uncle Sam
money factory, otherwise known as
the bureau of engraving and printing,
is as complete as human ingenuity can
devise
Each die, roll and plate has a num-
Der in sequence stamped upon it and
by said number it is recorded. Each
employe receiving a piece of steel to
work on is charged with the same by
its number and a description of the
engraving to be made thereon. He is
not allowed to leave the building, says
the National Magazine, until the same
has been returned and checked into
the vaults presided over by the Gus
todian of dies, rolls and plates. This
officer is the representative of the Sec
rotary of the treasury.
In the custodian's office complete
records and the history of $4,000 dies,
10000 rolls and $4,000 plates are on
file. Once year this office is audited
and checked up by a committee ap-
pointed by the secretary of the treas
ury, each piece of engraved work be-
ing identified and compared with the
records of the office.
This is an arduous duty and it usu-
ally takes three months.
After finding the records correct the
committee receipts to the custodian
for all obsolete dies, rolls and plates
which have become worn by use or no
longer serviceable on account of legis-
lation; these are carefully checked
and packed in sealed boxes and taken
to the navy yard, where they are to-
tally destroyed by melting in a blast
furnace.
Last year the committee destroyed
1882 pieces of engraved work, packed
in 247 boxes and weighing 35,757
pounds. Each morning the custodian
issues all plates to the printing di-
vision and all dies, rolls and plates
necessary to the engravers on requisi-
lions and receipts for them upon their
return at the close of the days work,
when they are stored in two large
steel fireproof vaults of modern con-
struction protected by time locks.
The $4,000 plates represent all
classes of work, including commits
sions, checks, drafts, portraits of de-
ceased members of congress, certifi-
Gates, diplomas, inaugural souvenirs,
national bank currency, United States
and treasury notes, gold and silver
certificates, bonds and cigar, cigarette,
tobacco, snuff, beer, oleomargarine,
rectified spirits, postage, documentary,
customs and proprietary stamps. The
system of checks and rules governing
the custody of the work is so perfect
that in the history of the bureau not a
single plate has gone astray.

STARTING AN ORCHARD in THE
RIGHT WAY
Pruning Cu1vating Necessary Secure the Bes
Resu1ts-By W. HI Davis, Ohio
Agricultural College.

The first few years of the life of
an orchard is the most critical period
of it's existence, because neglect is
more likely to occur and the injuries
done at this time can, in many cases,
never be overcome by subsequent good
care. In my orchard of some 5000
apple trees are a few hundred each of
pear, plum, cherry and peach, a plan
somewhat as follows was pursued in
selecting apple, pear, cherry and plum
stock:
| took trees not more than two years
old from bud or graft In my judg-
ment, trees of this age will stand
transplanting better than older ones,
and in the end will make better trees.
Peach trees are large enough at one
year and should never be older. Trees
were ordered in the fall for spring
shipment, at which season, in my case,
they were set out. I bought from the
large nurseries that grow their own
stock and deliver direct from their
own grounds. The small nursery in
the locality of the orchard is usually
preferable for small quantities Of
plants, but is not available for large
orders. I never buy from agents, be-
cause object to paying their commits
sion. The nurseryman who is largely
a dealer is also avoided, for every time
trees are handled the chance of mixing
varieties increases and it becomes
more difficult to fix responsibility in
case Of Misrepresentation
Nurserymen are responding to the
popular demand for loW-headed trees,
but they are not low enough yet. The
first branches should be not more than
so inches from the ground and less
would usually be preferable. Ship
ments should be made as early in the
spring as weather conditions will per-
nit and upon arrival the trees should
be unpacked and "heeled in" at once
Transplanting should be done just as
early as the soil will work readily.
The roots should never be exposed
for any length of time to the sun and
wind, and should always go into the
soil wet In the morning we take up

This mulching is essential, no mat

The mulch not only holds moisture

wounds chance to heal readily. A
root much longer than the others may
be cut back for the sake of symmetry
and ease of transplanting.
After transplanting, the top is cut
back to correspond to the loss OF
roots. Otherwise the evaporation OF
moisture from the top may be more
rapid than the broken roots can alb
sorb it, and the trees suffer, if not
die outright With apple, pear, plum

THE. OBJECTS OF PRUNING.
The Colorado experiment station adj
cances the following ideas regarding
pruning. These are principles worth
remembering when We start for the
orchard bent on reducing the limb
surface of the trees. Prune only when
there is good reason for it. Almost
any time will do:
Prune to modify the vigor of the
tree. giving it less top to support, al
lowing the sap to flow into the re-
naming branches.
Prune to produce larger fruit than
could be produced if the vital forces
of the tree were divided among a
greater number of branches.
Prune to give the trees desirable
shape.
Prune in summer to change the
trees from wood-bearing to fruit-bear-
ing.
If the tree bears too much fruit,
nrune heavily in winter. SO that the

form the scaffold branches of the flu
ture top. These should be situated
alternately along the trunk, but never
opposite each other, and should be cut
back to spurs five to ten inches in
length. The others are removed en-
tirely. Each of these spurs will throw
out several branches the first season,
but the ends of the spurs will usually
dry out and begin to decay.
The second pruning is confined al
most wholly to the removal of the

Mr. Wing of the Breeders Gazette

during the first year costs $3.50 tc
make 100 pounds; for the second year
the cost is $40 per 100 pounds, and
the third year, 81 per 100 pounds
The first year the calf should have all
the feed that it can digest, as that is
the cheapest year for making growth
that is the period for making his
greatest gain. Corn and alfalfa are the
