In pruning fruit.bearing plant like
the apple attention must be given not
only to the height and formation Of
the head, but to the removal of wood
as well The apple bears its fruit on
spurs which are themselves developed
from wood one year Of more OF age.
For that reason. therefore, the re-
moval of wood which carries fruit
spurs reduces the crop the tree is ca
pable of bearing This then, is prac-
ticable way of thinning the fruit Be
sides accomplishing this result prun-
ing can be used to lessen the annual
growth and force the energy Of the
plant which would naturally be used
in making wood into the fruit, thus
increasing its size or enabling the tree
to carry larger quantity than would
be possible were a normal wood
growth permitted.

PLANTING Early Peas.

The smooth peas of the Alaska
class are best adapted for early gar
den planting, They should be sown
as soon as the ground thaws out suf-
ficiently for working. The wrinkled
sorts are more tender but their ex-
cellent qualities make them desirable
for later planting A small amount OF
moisture Is required by peas and II
the soil Is in fair condition when
planted they should not require irri-
cation before the pods have formed.
Irrigation at this time cools the ground
and for this class OF vegetables should
be avoided II possible. Peas should
be sown very thickly in the rows as
the vines will thus hold themselves up.

and are more easily harvested. Field

It Is advisable to plant as early In

loss of plants will be little or none.
have better results from planting
on firm soil than that which Is very
loose. | also find that the later in
the spring the plants are set the bet
ter condition the ground should be In
ard the firmer the surface should be.
After the ground is thus prepared,
we mark 1t off both ways. The rows
the wide way, should be four feet
apart and the distance the narrow
way, depends on the variety grown.
The best marker We have ever used,
and we have tried several, is made by
boiling pair of straight shafts to
a piece of timber 2x4 inches and II
feet long, and brace 1t well. We bore
holes in the piece every A, 2, and VI
feet These holes are in slightly
slanting way. In every fourfoot hole
we bolt a square iron rod about three
feet long sharpened at the lower
end. Then when horse is hitched to
shafts you have device something
like rake, only the teeth slant back.

mo SmokIns Allowed"

There ID an iron-clad rule that
there shall be no smoking In the
cabins OF the ferryboats which ply
between this city and Camden.
The cabin was full today On one
OF the trips, and nearly every per-
SON on the mems side was smoking.
The deckhand came through, as was
his duty, and called out:
NO smoking allowed In this cab.

No one stopped.
The deckhand came through again.

the deckhand made q third trip.

counts for just so much, says Field
and Farm. An easy way Of gaining a
little advance for earliness-
cially with vegetables requiring heat.
such as beans, cncumbers and that
class--is to build a soil shelter. This
consists merely OF drawing UP a ridge
of earth to the north or windward
side of the row, as protection on the
one hand from raw wind and on the
other to catch the sunheat. The row
can be thrown up with small plow,
care being taken not to have the soil
fall over and cover the seed too deep.

An English naturalist was showing
his fine collection OF spiders to some

were alarmed TO see that a giant
specimen had escaped from his case
and was approaching them. One Of
those present. Philadelphia physi-

jump up and kill the animal.

Preparing the Ground and Planting.
Ii the soil is lacking in humus, a
crop Of cowpcas plowed under would
be beneficial to the land, says Farm
ers Voice When you can not do this,
stable manure plowed under will do.
Do not harrow but let land lay rough
until spring. As soon as the land
will work nicely. replow and work
thoroughly with harrow and smooth
down with a drag or roller. BY sub
soiling. you increase the depth of
your soil and storing capacity for
moisture.
BY deepening your soil. it will be
easier worked and will not suffer SO
from excessive moisture or drought, to
say noinlng of the universal benefit to
the crop.

HUNKY SMITHS ETHICS.

burglar, petty thief and pickpocket,
were never more clearly brought be-
fore his partner Lefty Jones. than OH
the night in which the duo made off
with a considerable quantity OF jewell
ry from the Taber mansion.
Hunky had been unusually silent an
the evening, and efforts made by LET
ty to arouse him as they piodded
down the railroad track, Hunky car
rying the swag. were without avail.
Finally Lefty, laughing more to him
self than to Hunky exclaimed:
Gee, left your card on the sitting
room table under paper weight. |
guess they won't miss 1t, all right all
right"
Hunky stopped short and glared at
Lefty
You didn't go and leave my card
there?" he questioned My profess
sional card with my name on it?"
Sure" assented Lefty in amaze
ment
You started Hunky. but broke
off the sentence to turn abruptly and
race back in the direction of the Tab
er home.
Lefty, in tremendous establishment,
gazed after Hunky for d moment. and
then followed. Why should Hunky act
like that?' 1t had always been a mat
ter Of professional pride with Hunky
to leave his card at every place he
made a successful job. 1t was a hit
Of bravo. but few people In the world
know him as "Hunky Smith," the
name which appeared on the card.
Lefty had noticed that Hunky
neglected to leave his card al
the Taber residence and con.
sequently had left II for him, thinking
Hunks negligence was due TO an
oversight.
Puzzling his brain over the matter,
Lefty retraced his steps until the big
Taber home doomed up before him
Then he waited In a shadow until
Hunky appeared,
There was foolish smile or
Hunky's face when he joined Lefty
and the two again moved OFF down the
railroad
Well?' exclaimed Lefty ENORMOUSLY
"Well?"
Hunky turned and gazed vacantly h,
Lefty for moment Then he ex,
tended his right hand and showed |,
small wad of paper. which had eyi

someone.
THE kid did that declared Hunky
pride In his voice Hes found my

"What're you gassing about, any.

I'D take stuff from her and hei

a faraway air, but | wouldn't let hei

fairly yelled Lefty, in the agony Of
losing the results OF their nights
work. Who's the woman, anyhow

as though he had just discovered his
partner after a return from long
trip.

intonation OF surprise. Don't YOU
