may further be protected by binding with cloth. Care should be taken, however, to see that the twine that holds the cloth is not so tight as to gir- dle the newly set scions. After the scions have become firmly established the cloth may be removed.
 The scions will continue to increase in size. and as they approach each oth- CT the union of one scion to the other may be accomplished by shaving the sides of the scions. In time the whole girdled area may be entirely healed over in this way.
 In some cases bridge grating will not be necessary. If the inner bark has not been removed by the rabbits the tree may be saved by immediately protecting the girdled area before it has had time to dry out by wrapping with cloth which has been treated with grafting wax. The inner bark will then form an outer bark without seri- ous injury. Where it can be used this method is better than bridge grafting. Trees on which the bark has been re- moved along the sides and not entire ly around the trunk will be benefited by painting the wound. Before this is done, however, the rough edges of the bark should be removed so as to facilitate healing.

MILLET AS A CATCH CROP.

Useful to Follow Another or Replace
 One That Has Been Destroyed.
 When a catch crop becomes }neces- sary one of the first that Is thought of is millet. This crop does not have a high feeding value, as 1t Is apparently too rich in oil. At the same time it is very useful to follow another crop or as 6 catch crop to replace one that has been destroyed. It natures quickly and, in combination with other feeds, has an undoubted value.
 There are many varieties, and in gen eral these varieties constitute one of the most important groups of food plants, as they are the staple diet of about one-third of the worlds human population. In the old world they are grown as cereals, but in America al- most entirely as forage. The true mill let Is sometimes called the broom corn millet Another variety is the fox tail millet, and still others are the barn. yard or Japanese, the African, the Chi nese, the Indian and pearl or cat tail millet. The fox tail variety includes the German and Hungarian millets, which are most commonly grown in this state.
 For several years past there seems to have been a considerable increase in interest in millet as a pasture crop in western Kansas. When sown for such a purpose about twice the usual amount of seed should be used. AS it is a heavy feeder and draws upon the nitrogen element of the soil 1t is said to be hard on land. Those soils which are best adapted for its growth are rich in humus. Swamp lands or slough lands and muck soils which can be drained so ashot to be too wet are best for this crop, though 1t may be sue cessfully grown on clay soils which do not get too dry.
 Clay soils are not good for millet be- cause they lack in humus. The seed must not be sown before the ground has become warm, as they will either fail to germinate or will remain in the ground so long that the weeds get too great a start. If the land Is rather thin more seed should be sown. It can be either broadcasted or drilled, but in rich land a smaller quantity of seed may be used, as the plants will till better.-Kansas Farmer.

She left her estate at Meads, Eastbourne, England. to found "St. Mary's orphanage," laying down the following rules for the education of the girls: No competitive examina- tions. no study before breakfast, no study after 6 D. m., all lessons to be learned in the morning, no girl to work more than four and half hours daily. No arithmetic, except the mul- tiplication tables for children under ten. No child with curvature of the spine to write more than five minutes a day until thirteen.

IN HAVING TIME.

Run the mower under cover every day after you have done with it.
 When the sky gets streaked. streak it for the barn with all the hay you have out.
 Don't cut your meadows tot close. Leave at least two inches of stubble.
 The best place for the horse rake when not in use is away from sum- shine, dew and rain.
 Keep the mower knives and the scythes all sharp. Save your own strength and that of the horses.
 Hay left on the wagon overnight pitches off quite a good deal harder. Get it off the same night If you can.
 Rake the scatterings close every day. Left out, they are not worth a great deal. Even a little moisture hurts them.
 Clover and timothy cut when in blossom make the best hay. The cat tie think so, too, and that is why they never leave any of it in the manager.
 Look out and do not get too big a mouthfuI. The machines of our day cut grass fast, and it takes time to cure it and get it up. Be moderate about moving.
 AS nearly as you can clear up the fields at night Then if you wake up in the night and hear it raining you can turn over and go to sleep without having to say. oh, dear; there's all that hay getting wetw-Farm Journal.

OUR BEST APPLE TREE.
The Frazer of the WaIIa WaIIa Valley,
 Wash, Is the Worlds ampion.

The Frazer of the WaIla Walla Valley,
 Wash, Is the Worlds Champion.
 Experienced growers predict that the Frazer apple tree, growing in the Walla Walla valley, near Walla Walla, Wash, southwest of Spokane, will yield between 150 and 200 bushels of fruit this year, thus breaking its rec ord of 1261a boxes in 1907, the highest production from a single tree known anywhere in the world. The tree bore seventy boxes in 1906, forty-two boxes in 1908 and forty-fve boxes in 1909. More than 800 barrels of fruit have been picked from its limbs since it came into bearing in the spring of 1871.
 The tree was grown without irriga tion from a seeding planted by Can trel R. Frazer in 1866, two years after he settled in the valley. 1t is forty two feet in height, and its branches spread fifty-seven feet from tip to tip.
 The trunk Is seven feet in circumfer- ence at the base and measures six feet six inches just below the first limb, which is four feet from the ground and measures four feet seven inches. The tree is sound and healthy despite the fact that 1t has produced fruit every season for nearly forty years.
 Professor W. S. Thornber, horticul- turist of the Washington State college; J. A. Balmer former state horticul- tural commissioner of Washington, and k. X. Jones, a practical orchardist of Spokane county. described the tree as follows:

SAVING GIRDLED TREES.
Bridge Grating Remedy For Injuries
 Caused by Rabbits.

Bridge Grating Remedy For Injuries
 Caused by Rabbits.
 The injury done by rabbits to fruit trees in many orchards is discussed by J. G. Moore of the University of Wis consin in the Country Gentleman. When the girdle is only three or four inches wide the tree may be saved by bridge grating. Trees with large patches of bark removed entirely around the trunk cannot be successful ly treated, though those not too badly injured may be saved by special treat. ment.
 Bridge grating should be done in early spring, scions from healthy trees being selected. The torn edges of the wound should be cut off smooth and all badly loosened bark removed. The scion should be cut half or three-quar- ters of an inch longer than the wound and the ends of the scion pointed.
 The scion may then be inserted un- der the edge of the bark, care being taken to have the cut on the scion made rather slanting, to give consid- erable space for 1t to unite with the bark of the tree. Several of these scions should be put in around the tree at intervals of not more than one and one-half inches. On small trees, three or four scions will be sufficient.
 It Is good practice to paint over the wound areas with white lead, and they

Cabbaae Cultivation.

After setting out cabbage the plants require shallow, level cultivation until the crop natures. Too much culti- vation cannot be given, and especially after every rain should the ground be thoroughly stirred. A fine tooth horse cultivator is one of the most satis- factory implements for this purpose. At the Maine experiment station mulching the plants with straw or similar material in dry season tend ed to increase the size of the head. At the Nebraska station also a straw mulch was found very beneacial.- Orange Judd Farmer.

YAWNING.
It's Effect Upon the Respiratory Organs
 and Upon the Heart.

It's Effect Upon the Respiratory Organs
 and Upon the Heart.
 Dr. Emil Bunzl of Vienna, Austria. in speaking of diseases of the throat and remedies, said that yawning had its great value. Yawning has recently been recommended independently as q valuable exercise for the resplra- tory organs.
 According to pr. Naegll of the Uni versity of Luettich," said Dr. Bunzl, 'yawning brings nll the respiratory muscles of the chest and throat into action and is, therefore, the best and most natural means of strengthening them. He advises everybody to yawn as deeply as possible, with arms out stretched, in order to change complete ly the air in the lungs and stimulate respiration. In many cases he has found the practice to relieve the difh- culty in swallowing and disturbance of the sense of hearing that accompa- ny catarrh of the throat. The patient is induced to yawn through suggestion, imitation of preliminary exercise in deep breathing.
 Each treatment consists of from six to eight yawns, each followed by the operation of swallowing. It should be added, however, that 1t is quite possi- ble for deep breathing to be overdone, particularly by persons with weak hearts, and 1t is at least open to ques- tion whether the obstacles to free res piration which the yawning cure Is alleged to remove are not useful In preventing the entrance of germs and other foreign bodies" - Washington Herald

KING GEORGES REIGN.
AstroIoger Daoud Says 1t Will Be

Nstrologer Daoud says It Wtll Be
 Short and Stormy.
 A short and stormy reign for George V. is predicted by $. Daoud, the Wash ington astrologer. Two years ago, 1t Is said, Daoud foretold the death of King Edward and described the cir cumstances accurately. Among the things which he foresees in the new kings horoscope is that his reign win last but six and half years.
 The first five years," Daoud says, twill be among the stormiest in Eng lands history. The last eighteen months, however, will be comparative ly fortunate. The coming reign will be terminated by the kings death, which will be natural one. He will more than once be the object of at- tempted assassination. but would be murderers will be powerless to harm him.
 "There will be trouble in all the Brit ish possessions during the second year, especially in India. r...
 "In the third year of his reign there will be a conflict between England and another European power ruled by kinsman of King George. which will precipitate great war. England will on her own part wage war with this European country. The war will be short and decisive and will result in Epgland's being obliged to make, con. sessions which, will deprive her of much of her power. ~
 Egypt will give King George de- cided trouble, but will not be able to free herself from English rule during his reign."-New York World.
