JOINING LIMBS OF A TREE
Select Two Small Branches Growing
Opposite and Irvine Them
Together Horizontally.

When a tree is small, but with sufh-
cient growth. select two small
branches growing opposite and as
near the crotch as possible, as shown
at A in the sketch, and twine them
together horizontally, n overlapping
the other as a rope is twisted, leaV-
ing the ends free as in B.. 1t will take
about a year for nature to join them,

les. Then prune the ends off smooth
and in time as the bark expands
through the growth of the tree the
connection will become as II solid
piece, C, thereby binding the limbs
together. This method may be used
several times in one tree. Trees

A covey OF quail in an orchard will
prove a good friend to the grower. be-
cause they eat a tremendous number
of insects.
Attractive flower beds add much to
the charm Of the flower garden. Co.
leus, saliva and phlox are well adapted
for bedding purposes.
In the extreme north fruit growers
find that it is much better practice to
cultivate the orchards from the be-
ginning to the end of the season.
In filling apple barrels, fill until the
last layer stands an inch above the
chine of the barrel. This ensures sol.

The Pig and the Orchard.

The two go together well. The pig
stirs up the soil about the trees, let
ting in the sunshine and moisture to
the roots and fertilizing them, while
d%evouring many grubs that would 9TH
erwise prey upon the fruit. But many
orchards cannot be fenced and many
owners of fenced orchards, even,
would like to have the pig confine his
efforts around the trunk Of each tree.
To secure this have four fence panels
made and yard the pig for a short
time in succession about each tree.

MRS. G. DAVENPORT,

The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

NO MORE COINS IN
FREE RURAL MAIL

The following order has been re-
ceived from the fourth assistant
stmaster-general, division of rural
delivery, and will be of interest to
all patrons who reside upon rural
routes:
In view of the extent which the
practice of placing loose coins in
boxes by rural patrons has grown,
and the delay in the delivery and col
lection of mail, and the hardship i'm
posed on rural carriers incident
thereto, you are informed that, COM
mencing February Is, rural mail carr
riers will not be required to collect
loose coins from rural mail boxes.
Patrons should enclose coins in
an envelope, wrap them securely in
a piece of paper, or deposit them in
a coin-holding receptacle, so they can
be easily and quickly taken from
boxes and carriers will be required
to lift such coins, and, where accom-
panied by mail for dispatch, attach
the required stamps"
Respectfully,

Postmaster.
