z It would do no harm to set young
fruit trees in the holes where the old
ones arc taken out, but other things
being equal, 1t would be just as well
to dig new holes in the spaces between
the old trees after they have been cut
down or pulled up. Answering a ques.
tion along this line, The Rural New
Yorker advises digging a wide hole

to twelve inches deep, as may be need.
ed, placing the rich or top soil in one
pile and the subsoil in another.
Cut out all broken or injured roots
from the trees to be set. and freshen
the ends of the sound roots with
slanting cut from below upward, so
that the fresh surface will rest on the
soil. When the roots are in their nat
iural position, set the trees in the cen
ter Of the hole and carefully fill in
around the roots with the best of the
top soil taken out. sitting it from the
edge Of the shovel and working 1t be.

ing the tree meanwhile to get the
earth in every creyice between the
roots.
When the roots are fairly covered,
tramp firmly. then fill in with the
poorer or subsoil, tramping 1t firmly
as it is put in place. The tree when
set should stand little, If any, deeper
than it grew in the. nursery row. The
firmed earth should be banked up
around the tree to shed water. About
a third of the top should be cut, TAX
ing out weak and unnecessary limbs,
shortening in the good ones so as to
balance the top with the roots that
have been cut away.
1t Is a very good plan to scatter a
pound or two of good commercial fer
tilizer around the tree after it is set,
lightly working it in the soil, or mulch
the trees with wheelbarrow load of
coarse barnyard manure. This keeps
the ground moist and furnishes the
young tree with all the fertility it
needs until the growth has made some

Despite the fact that julius Cesar,

position to admire the lean and poke
fun at the fat man.

means follows that they are attracted

larly,t when sex Is considered, man
himself is of various taste; Turkish
woman who is not absolutely fat Is a
Turkish woman destitute of charm.
The subject is broad one, with many
and historical aspects, from. the time
when Peshurun, as we read in Deuter.
onomy, "waxed fat and kicked.
Just now 1t is given a serious and
very interesting discussion by DIR.
George M. Niles, in the journal of the
American Medical Association. Every
one is aware of the value of fat as a
source of energy for the development
of heat. That phase Of the fat mans
condition may be passed by. Another
one is of larger Importance. Says Dr..
Niles:
1T has been commonly known from
the earliest antiquity that fat people
are more contented, more optimistic,
than lean ones. and that their view.
point Of life in general is largely gov.
erned by this prosaic attribute. Now, I
might compare the supply Of fat to the
ample bank account Of a busy and
proyident man. That. he possesses this
surplus does not prevent him from
diligently following his usual avoca-
ton (sic). but the knowledge Of its
presence lends a mental satisfaction
that would be absent were he living
right up to his daily income"
This may be true; who can say? It
is so easy to generalize and. as mat
ter Of fact, so impossible to be certain
about such things. One might particu.
larize through column or two and
arrive at no definite conclusion. Napo-
leon was fat little man and infinitely
greater than the lean wellington; DR..
johnson and Gibpon were grossly fat,
but Emerson and Carlyle were bare to.
the bone. And SO forth.
One thing, at least, seems clear; the
fat man may not be as spry on his
feet as his lean brother; he may not,
as rule, be as agile of mind, but he
eats better meal and enjoys a.
sounder sleep. He is more cheerful;
his laugh is heartier. In fact, some

ably easier to be fat and get lean than

The Gap,e...

The GRpes.
Perhaps one of the most important
points in connection with the care OF
gapes is that Immediately bird dies
it shall be burned and not merely
buried in the ground, as is often the
case. AS will easily be seen, If the
bird is thus treated, the parasites are
allowed to breed, which they do quick
ly. and the worms come up to the sur
face of the ground and are eaten by
the chickens. Therefore, as a precau-
ton, always burn the bodies of birds
that have died of this complaint.
There are many remedies and cures
for this disease, if it may be termed
thus. One of the Oldest, but at the
same time one of the most efficacious,
is that of soaking the grain in urine
before giving it to the birds. The am
monia escaping from the urine proves
fatal to the red worms and their en-
bryos. Another old method, but good
one, is that of inserting feather down.
the throat of the bird, a feather that
has been previously dipped in paraffin
oil or turpentine. When down the
throat it should be given sharp turn,
and then drawn quickly out, and fire.
quently some of the worms stick to
the feather, and are thus extracted

Form of Cow valuable Index.
To the close observer the form of
COW is valuable index to her quail
ties. However, there are so many fac
tors that enter into the growth and
temperament of a dairy COW that many
excellent judges of form and function
are deceived by outside appearance.
The new COW has an individuality of
her own. and the feeder should become
acquainted with her as soon as posi-
BILE after she is brought into the herd.
The most of the loss that comes to
dairymen is through lack of knowl-
edge and wrong idea of what they
are about.
The feeder should waste very little
effort in trying to feed fat into milk,
for every such an attempt has result
ed doubtfully. The amount of fat in
the milk is matter of individuality
and breed more than feed.
