The rambler rose should be pruned
just as soon as it has done blooming
It is not too early to make cuttings
of flowers for winter blooming in the
window garden.
Always have materials for Bordeaux
mixture at hand so that they may be
used on any spare day.
Blackberry vines should be cut back
as soon as the crop is off. Do not let
too many new canes remain.
1t does not pay to plant crops in the
peach orchard. Some people do it, but
we believe it is bad practise.
Apple pickers should remember that
the least puncture to the skin of an ap-
pie results sooner or later in a rotten
spot.
Order evergreen trees and shrubs
in time so that they can be set out
the latter part of August or early in
September.
Carnations intended for winter
blooming should not be allowed to
flower. Pinch off the buds as soon as
tt y appear.
Trees exposed to the direct rays of
the sun on a hillside should be pro-
tected or they are likely to be injured
by sun-scald.
If the leaves of your apple and
peach trees show dark green and the
growth is vigorous, you may know
that tle soil is all right.
The bruise on an apple may not at
once develop into rot, but it will make
brown spot, which disfgures and
lessons the value of the fruit.
The Oregon experiment station has
decided that the scab on the prunes
which is more or less troublesome to
them is caused by the weather and not
b. fungus growth.
If you observe that the shoots on
your trees grow only five or six inches
every year you may know that the
soil needs to be enriched. The growth
ought to lie from fifteen to thirty inches
every ses on.

PROPER METHOD OF PRUNING
pie Tree Should Be Seven Years
Old Before Cut.

The common method of pruning ap-
pie trees is to thin out the top and
center of the tree to let in the sun
shine and air. All the small feeble
looking limbs and fruit spurs are care
fully cut out of the center until the
limbs left to form the tree have for
the first three or four feet clean,
bare, hoop-pole appearance, with no
bearing wood in the center of the
tree, writes J. C. B. Heaton, in Farm
ers' Review.
To get the best and quickest results
an apple tree should have no pruning
until five to seven years old, except
taking out sap-sprouts and cutting
back the long limbs to induce a short
stocky growth. At about the age of
five or seven years thorough, sys-
tematic pruning should be given, cut
ting out only limbs three-fourths of an
inch and up in diameter, leaving
enough of the larger limbs to form
the head Or top of the tree. All small
straggly limbs of feeble growth and
all fruit spurs, especially in the cen
ter of the tree, should be left. These
are the limbs and spurs that will bear
the first crop of fruit If once removed
these fruit limbs and spurs are never
renewed but their place is filled with
sap sprouts that are an everlasting
nuisance and have to be removed
yearly. Whenever you remove fruit
limbs, which are always of a feeble
growth, or fruit spurs from young
trees, you are taking that much from
your first two or three crops of apples.
One seldom goes into a bearing
orchard but he finds great vacant
places four to six feet in diameter in
the center of nearly every tree that
never has and never will produce an
apple. This vacancy is where the
first two or three crops of apples
should be grown AM such cutting out
delays the bearing period two or three
years. Every one attempting to prune
a young orchard should know that it
takes a thrifty, vigorous growing
young tree three to five years to de-
velop a fruit bud Without such
knowledge he cannot appreciate the
value of fruit spurs and limbs that
show tendency to early fruiting.
Until an orchard is ten to fourteen
years of age it is seldom necessary to
thin out the small fruit limbs and fruit
spurs, but after the bearing habit is

entirely different from houses of the
same size as they are usually planned.
The living room, Is feet by "a feet
six inches, extends across the entire
front of the house, while the dining
room occupying the alcove extending
both back and one side is separated
from the living room by cased open
ing set cornerwise, or at an angle of
As degrees, between the two rooms.
This is an arrangement rarely seen,
yet it is one which affords a maximum
of roominess down stairs at the same
time separating the dining room space
to a certain extent from the living
room. An open stairway going up
along the rear wall of the living room
also adds to the apparent space. This
arrangement affords wonderful posi-
bilities for attractive interior decora-

once established and the trees get an
abundance of bearing wood it becomes
necessary to thin out all through the
tree. Trees should be headed low and
kept low by cutting out the tops for
convenience in spraying. Too many
large limbs should be avoided by jul
dicious pruning the first going over
and at all times the tree should be
kept thin and sufficiently open, that all
apples get the color and size that is
characteristic of the variety. When
ever an orchard under good cultivation
produces apples of under size and off
color the pruning should be looked
after.

Need for Alarm.

Before climbing up to his seat the
small clock that hung in one corner
of the cab.
What is that for?" asked the pas
senger, but the driver had already
mounted to his seat and was telling
his horse to "Giddap," and apparently
did not hear. The alarm was set for
four o'clock. That was 20 minutes
past the time the passenger had count
ed on arriving at the given address,
but he was so DESTROYS to find out
what the cabman would do when the
alarm went off that he called up in
structions to take him many blocks
out of his way so he would be In at
the finish.
At four o'clock the alarm sounded.
The cabman alighted, set the alarm
for five o'clock, and hung the clock
back in the corner. Then the passen-
gers curiosity could be restrained no
longer.
whats the meaning of this?" he
said Il have ridden 20 minutes
longer than I ought to and have run
up a dollar extra on my bill just to
find out the secret of that alarm"
yes, sir" said the cabman, that's
it."
What is it?"

Another desirable feature of this
plan is the bedroom and bath on the
first floor. This is a feature very
much desired, but in the ordinary

Sprayinu Fruit.

Spraying is a preventive and not a
remedy. There are few fungus dis
eases that can be destroyed by spray
ing, but they can also be prevented by
the same operation. The damage done
by disease or an insect can be re-
paired only by the plant itself. Such
work as can be done to protect it from
further damage is about all that can
be done for it. Spraying should be done
carly and the protection made more
complete before the diseases and in
sects appear.

MANY BENEFITS OF SPRAYING
Newspapers Lost Their frees, While
Those Who Did Spray Saved
Their Orchards.

The good results following spraying
of orchards is now SO evident that
those who were Indifferent to it's use
all along are now turning their atten-
ton to it; that is, those Of this class
who have any trees alive. The great
er number of those who did not spray
have now no trees alive, or not alive

while.
