sideration and respect extended
to himself and family Though
not a member of the l.. d. S.
church he has, in his writings
and otherwise, striven to show
the church, its officers and soci-
cites every possible considera-

associations, naturally, came in
Tor a greater share OF such con-
sideration than either of the
other wards, we having spent
the greater part OF our time in
Oakley as residents of that
ward, the distinction, however,
being purely convenience.
Wednesday evening, Dec. 2lst,
Jas. Lawrence Haywood, pro-
prietor of Oakley's bowling con-
servatory, brought copy for an
S-page program (two days
work, and more, for any ordi-
nary printer), which he MUST
have Saturday-regardless OF
prior orders, etc. If he bad had
time to send it away, then, he
no doubt would have done so.
The writer being i'll and con.

that unless the number of page.

be done in time, without rank

ORCHARD NOTES.

An orchard neglected for one year
virtually puts 1t back three years.
Never cut limb from fruit tree
II the rabbits have gnawed only
the outer bark. wrap the wound with
cloth.
1t Is a sad mistake to neglect an
orchard when 1t is not producing a
crop of fruit.
There are no conflicting opinions
among growers on the effects of COW
er crops on peach trees.
II you think OF setting out an or
chard and have had no experience
better hire man to show you how.
Whenever a large limb Is sawed
from the tree the wound should be at
once covered with wax or thick paint
Always buy clean. straight trees
with short stems. and even then do
not be afraid to prune before plant
ing.
More depends upon the right
choice OF kinds OF fruit to set than
upon any other factor as to profit In
the orchard.
While the orchard is coming into
bearing try vegetable growing as
side line. This makes one OF the
surest and best sources OF income
Three years Of spraying. pruning
and cultivation will bring an orchard

dition that you will be proud Of
II you can get man from your
state experiment station you will in
deed be fortunate. II not. then try
to get the man who grows the best
fruit In your county.
Peaches and plums. owing to the
small size OF the trees as compared
with the apple and pear. are more
generally thinned. but 1t will pay to
thin them when too full.
The inexperienced planter thinks
he is getting a bargain when he buys
trees three or four years old. but
experience will show him that year.
lings are better and he should never
plant over two-year-olds.
Ailanthus trees are easily cut,
sawed and split. and while the wood
from them will not burn as long as
most woods. It answers fairly well In
this respect. but does best when used
with other woods. such as locust.
hickory, chestnut, etc.

"WHY SHOULD | USE
CUTICURA SOAP?

There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True. It
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered 1t the standard for this
purpose. while it's extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to 1t all the
advantages of the best Of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps. 1t is prepared with such care
and Of such materials. that 1t wears
to wafer, often outlasting several
cakes Of other soap, and making its.
use, in practice, most economical.
Cutlcura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere. but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura."

Training Young Trees.

Training the young orchard is more
needfui than pruning. and should
consist mostly in shaping the trees or
keeping them in form and properly
balanced. Very often the side opposite
the direction from which the prevail
ing winds come become heavier than
the side toward the wind, and the re-
moval Of some Of the branches and
heading In OF others becomes neces-
sary.
Some shoots become too rampant
and need checking to preserve the bal
ance OF the tree. and others can be
bent and tied to fill the open spaces
Work of this kind. and the removal
Of water sprouts may be done in the
summer. A bush or clustered habit OF
growth Is not uncommon, even in
quite young trees, and needs to be
corrected by the removal OF surplus
branches.

GET FIRsT-cLAss POTATOES
Great Emphasis 10 Placed Upon Prop.
er Preparation Of Soil-Seed So
lection Important.

Some of the mountain valleys have
been found to offer almost ideal con.
ditions for the growing Of large crops
OF frst-class potatoes. One Of the
most successful mountain farmers 10

specially of this crop for q great many
years. The beneft Of his long expert
snos In growing potatoes under irrigs'
ton conditions has been given to farm.
ers In the form Of farmers bulletin.
recently issued by the agricultural de-
partment at Washington. Mr.. Grub
places great emphasis upon proper
preparation of the soil. The mainte-
nance of soil fertility IL the basis Of .
successful crop in his experience. He
has grown clover or alfalfa often fol
three or four years previous to break
ing the soil for 4 potato crop.
This alfalfa or clover sod is plowed
in the fall and thoroughly worked over
in the spring with disk or spring
tooth harrow until the seed bed Is in
as good condition as though for .
garden. He especially emphasizes that
the soil shall be we'll fined and firmed
in order that the root system Of the
young plants will be enabled to secure
plant food. Cultivation IL begun a.
soon as possible after the potatoes are
planted.
In soil which IL reasonably porous
1t will be sufficient to irrigate every
alternate row. A v-shaped trench 10
made midway between the row with
an 8 or 10-inch lister. and a small
stream of water turned down each Of
these bitches. The soil being In an
open and permeable condition. the

ripen in dry earth.
Seed selection is the most important
point of all the factors influencing
potato growing. For IL years Mr..
Grub has been trying to improve and
develop certain strains of potatoes by
the same methods which he followed
in breeding Shorthorn cattle and
Shropshire sheep. He used the best
methods of selection and gave his seed
plots the best possible care as to Gull
tivation and irrigation. Each year he
selected the particular type which he
considered nearest the ideal. and has
used these individual tubers for seed
the following year. For this improve
ment work he used the variety known
as Perfect Peachblow. which. 1t was
said. would degenerate and ultimately
run out. yet each year has shown a
decided improvement. and the variety
is better and more firmly fixed today
than 1t ever was before.

Age Of Water Fowls.

1t is more difficult to Judge the age
of water fowls than Of other poultry
partly from greater longevity and
partly because the water keeps their
legs soft and fresh.
Ducks waddle more heavily as they
grow older. and after two or three
years they acquire depression down
the breast.
An abdominal pouch OF great size
indicates great age in geese.
Turkeys up to year old are said
to have black feet. which grow pink
to three years OF age. when they grad.
ually turn gray and dull.
Age in pigeons is often told by the
color of the breast. In squads the
flesh looks whitish as seen through
the skin. but becomes more and more
purplish as the birds grow older.

Green Food From Lawn.

A small lawn may be used to ad-
vantage In supplying the poultry with
green feed during the summer by
cutting Just enough each day to meet
their daily wants. Feed them all they
will eat. but do not cut more than
they will consume. for then you are
wasting valuable feeding matter.
II you have lawn mower. cut q
strip or two in the morning and feed
to your poultry. and another strip
later in the day. This may not make
the lawn look any too well. but 1t will
be serving the poultry with all the
green food they need during the on
Dire summer.

WATER FOR ORCHARD
Number of Irrigations Depend on
Capacity Of Soil.
Whore There 10 Good supply Of Moist

All New Wood Must Mature

The number Of irrrigatoins that an
orchard should receive depends on the
capacity of the soil to hold water. II

opment of fruit buds for the ensuing
year. Where there il q good supply
Of moisture in the soil rapid growth
takes place. which 10 evidently at the
expense Of fruit bud formation. Fruit
buds are best developed when there
is moderate supply Of moisture and
plenty of available plant food. Bear
ing fruit trees should make very lit
tie growth after the middle Of July.
and If the orchardist wishes to pro-
mote fruitfulness he should not over
irrigate. The growing crop, however.
cannot be sacrificed in order to insure
a crop of fruit buds for the follow
ing year, but rampant growth is not
essential to the proper development of
fruit.
Excessive late irrigation may re-
tard the proper coloring of the fruit.
The aim should be to bring the fruit
up to size early in the season and
then promote coloring by withhold
ing water. Then the late irrigation
also produces wood growth, which
will not mature and is subject to
winter killing. All new wood should
be mature before frost, and II some
of the leaves turn yellow the grower
need not be alarmed. The growth
of young trees especially, must be
checked by withholding water. The
date of the last irrigation will vary
with different soils. but usually they
need not be irrigated after the mid
die OF August
Orchards that have dried out in
late summer must be irrigated in
the fall after the fruit is removed
Since there is some evaporation 60
ing on all the time, even from dor
mant trees, 1t would result in seri-
GUS damage by dry freezing to let
the trees go In that condition during
the winter
Fall blowing is almost always de-
sirable In orchards. as it holds the
rains and SHOWS during the winter
and gives the ground a chance to
settle. Spring blowing leaves the
ground too loose and If 1t is not
worked down with disks and har
rows 1t is almost impossible to gel
the water to the end of the burrows.

results 1t should not be cut into tiny
pieces SO as to require practically no
EFFORT on the part OF the chicks to get
1t. but a better way is to fasten a
