wall, and reached by flight Of narrow
winding stairs.
Among the preachers who occupied
the pulpit At different times WAS one
who was noted for the vigor aud en-
thusiasn, Of his delivery and the ex-
treine energy Of bis gesticulstions.
The congregation had often trenlbled
for his safety ~ he stamped aud pound
ed la the old pulpit, but no catastrophe
occurred until one day when he bent
forward over the edge, and shaking
the unstable structure, shouted, "The
righteous shall stand, but the wicked
shall fall ~
Before the words were fairly uttered
there was crash, and the old pulpit
aud its occupant came to the floor,
together with much dust

Pruning Ia one Of the most important
factors In the production Of first-class
fruit. While there are many methods
for pruning trees, some right and some
wrong, yet most Of the general princi-
plies aim at the same thing-to remove
the surplus wood, develop strong
frame aud keep the tree within bounds.
Two general laws must be constantly
kept In mind in the pruning Of trees

Of Colorado although we do not advise
such work until after the middle Of
February. Heavy winter pruning Is
conductive to heavy wood growth and
heavy summer pruning, done when a
tree is la active growth is sure to check
It and force fruit buds. With these
thoughts In mind, we prune young
trees during the dormant season be-
causs We want them to grow wood.
We prune older trees during the grow
Ing season, because We want them to
produce fruit. In this country our
young trees are headed back severely.

The pull of our civilization on young

most progressive rural districts there
10 such an active and interesting pro-
gram of industrial and social life that
the young folks are glad to stay on the
farm. As farmers they become scien-
tifically expert In soils, In tests for farm
products. In seed judging, and farm,
bookkeeping. The girls find that the
woman's side Of farm life may be freed
from much Of Its drudgery, and made
intensely interesting. So the duties Of
farm life, n'ade enjoyable In youth,
lead the young folks to an agricultural
college and back to the farm again.
