In too many of our Iowa orchards
the trees are permitted to grow any
shape or density, restricted only by
the laws Of nature. AS rule there
are too many limbs, the foliage is too
dense, and the apples toward the cen
ter OF the tree do not color properly.
AS the tree gets larger it becomes top
heavy and too many fruit spurs are
formed. Following this condition the
tree sets more fruit than it can prop
erly mature and as the years go by
the fruit gradually becomes under
sized. Careful pruning simplifies and
often renders unnecessary the thin
ming of the fruit. The best pruning is
that which Is done during the forma-
tive period. 1t is better to train the
tree during it's younger years than to
use the pruning saw severely when it
Is grown. The head of the tree should
be opened to admit the sunlight, and
all branches which interfere should be
removed Any branch which is grow
Ing towards the center of the tree
rather than outward should also be
taken out
In the removal of any large
branches care should be taken to
make the cut close and parallel to
the remaining stem. Whenever a
stub is left the wound will not heal
properly If the wound Is more than
two inches in diameter the surface
should be coated with some antiseptic
and water proof material such as
white lead.

WHEAT AND RECIPROCITY

A farmer reader of this paper who
writes from Dennison, O., asks how
the removal of the duty of 25 cents a
bushel on wheat can have any other
effect than to depress the market for
wheat in the United States. He in.
quires how the American farmer can
compete with cheap Canadian wheat
without the protection of the duty
now imposed on imported grain.
The answer is that the American
farmer does compete with Canadian
wheat, everytime he sells his crop.
He can't help competing, and without
a particle of help from the tariff Both
Canada and the United States have
to sell their surplus wheat in the
same foreign markets. Both coun-
tries obtain the same price there. for
the same quality Of grain. In both the
price at home is equal to the Europ-
can plice, less the cost of shipping
the wheat to Great Britain, Germany,
France, Italy and other wheat-import-
ing countries.-Cleveland Leader.

TAXATION OF BACHELORS

A bill has been introduced in the
Massachusetts legislature embodying
the ideas of Miss Charlotte Smith,
president of The Women's Homestead
association. II provides that there
shall he an anual tax on all unmar.
ried males over 35 years old. The
only one exempt are those of bad
moral characIe- or otherwise unfit. All
the money rait ed by this tax is to be
expended for the support of deserving
spinsters believed" to have passed
the marriageable age. The bill does
not say who is to do the believing
but if the judgment of the spinsters
aforesaid is TO be accepted, the ex-
penditure will be light. The really
faulty part of the bill is the provision
which taxes all the men of good moral
character AMI permits the men OF
bad morals to go scot free. Midsum
mer was named the silly season, but
that was before the state Legislature
began to exhibit their recently-devel
oped forms of Madness Philadelphia
