REAL LOVE THIS.
And the little girl whose parents
are so poor that they will be unable
to give her any Christmas presents
this year, but whose little heart was
so full of love and charity for the
other unfortunate children that
even though looking forward to an
empty stocking herself. she used a
bright new rs cent piece, which
had been given her for birthday
present, to purchase a dolly which
she dressed and turned over to her
Sunday school to be sent with
other presents to the children at a
local orphanage; and who. when

without her sending her dolly, re-

THE TIME FOR PRUNING
PEACH TREES WHEN IN
JURED BY WINTER FREEZING

In those peach orchard districts
where the winter temperature fell
from fifteen TO twenty-four degrees
below zero. and remained below zero
FOR any length of time, there is great
danger of more or less injury to the
peach.
The peach tree may be Injured by
winter freezing in three different ways,
viz: First. by freezing at the
crown, or ground line. causing the
so-called collar girdle;" second. by
freezing back the one year old wood,
and sometimes more, and. third, by
killing only the fruit buds which
grow on the one year old wood With
the first of these there may or may
not be a complete girdllng of the tree
at the ground line. The tree may re.
cover if there is not a complete
gIrdle. In the second case the better
likely 1t is to freeze back Where
the wood has been frozen, the cam
blum, or growing layer, will be found
to be of dark brown color, and in
| found to be somewhat darkened. As
| everyone knows, the growth of a
tree, as shown by cross-seclion,

possible for freezing to take place on
one side only; thus. If left alone II
will grow around and over the III
jured side. In the last case, where
only the fruit buds are killed, there

and also some dormant and adyen.

For these reasons, In regard to the

| titous buds. 1t is not advisable nor is
1t practicable to prune peach trees,
| which have undergone winter freez-
ing, during the dormant season.
Another reason for not pruning such
trees until the growth in the wood

| most impossible to tell what to prune
Pruning at this time one may cut off
too much, thus causing "dehorning
which later on might give trouble
While II left alone until the buds

WHEN RAILROADS BUILD.

Abuse the railroads as we will for
wanting to make money on their In.
yestments, there is never any quarrel
with them when they want to extend
their lines. increase their capacity to
serve-and Garland improve their
equipment. When they begin doing
that, then do we know all that is well
with the country's business and that
the way for further advancement is
opening.
There can be but one interpreta,
ton of the unanimlty with which the
Colorado lines are reaching out for
bigger business. All are telling the
same story OF the recognition of need
TO prepare for heavier traffic. Here
It is the broad-gauging of a pioneer
line which has served its time and ex-
hausted it's capacity to meet the re-
quirements There 1t is some new
line being thrown into country which
mas grown to warrant it. In every

that its railroad builders are keeping
abreast with the procession.

are placing orders for rails and equip
ment at a rate never before equalled.
