TREE SURGERY.

There are one or two points connect

shade trees that the novice at the job
would do well to remember. The frst
Am that the limb should be- sawed one

feet er t~U from the tree. Next IN
cut sAs4ld be &GGe with the yaw on
the upper rgo cf rAo limb ana a foot
or 30 farther Aym rha trunk than the
cut on the undessIde This should be
continued until the weight Of the limb
causes it to fAfl Instead Of ripping d
strip of bark OF clear down to the tree,
as is 30 often the case when tho cut
on the GnGerSido or the limb In mot
made. this with To- prevented by the
undercut mentioned IA stub will be
left at thIs stage. md the nnal cnt
should then Ne made. saving this or
as-close to- the trunk ns possible with
out disturbing the bark and on u line
parallel with the direction OF the trunk.
The aim should be TO leave the cut In
such shape that 1t will heal over In the
shortest possible time To prevent
decay setting In to the trunk from the
cut the latter should be given two or
three coats OF white lead paint or
smeared over with thin coating of

WHAT ONE CRY MAN DID.

Of the success of q city man. with a
+back to the land" hankering, In rails
ing sugar beets during the past sea-
SON. He held a city position. but
thought he would give agriculture
trial. Accordingly he rented forty
acre farm some thirty miles out and
made his home there, going tn to hi
work He saw to the proper prepare
ton Of the ground and had the en-
tire area sowed to sugar beets- He
did no manual labor. but only planned
and superil: ended the work. He has
recently sold the beet crop for $1,000
His expenses were $1,000 leaving him
$1,000 net for his trouble. Not every
man could do this. it will be admitted.
for there was necessary, first, the
ability to appreciate the opportunity
and secondly. determination and en-
ergy w carry the plan into execution
But Notwithstanding this The incident
shows that opportunities for getting
ahead are long way from exhausted.

Poultry Pickings.

Poultry should be Kept free from
feather and skin vermin. These are
most injurious to chickens and in
crease with amazing rapidly in sum
mer.
Cut down the quantity of all heat
ing foods, like corn and buckwheat.
heterogeneous foods, like wheat and
oats, should be more generally fed,
together with daily supply of green
food.
Avoid overcrowding your chicken
coops. When too many fowls roost
together they crowd, and the animal
heat will cause them to sweat. This
in itself has been the cause OF more
summer sickness than anything else
We know OF.
Many people hesitate to breed pure
bred fowls because they are afraid
that they cannot find a market for
breeding stock. Those who advertise
their birds find no difnculty in finding
market for good stock. Buyers are
readers, and sellers must be advertis-
ers.
Here is cheap and simple remedy
to paralyze chicken lice and mites.
Make a strong brine and apply it hot.
Put on the roosts and on the nest
boxes and Ill over. Get the cheap
grade OF salt. Be sure To have the
brine strong and hot and to get It
into every crack about the henhouse.

WINTER BLOOM,

fragrance of bloom as do hyacinthi

OF bloom are remarkable. While one
may use a more elaborate pot, a com

watering and covered with earth In

A NEEDED CONSERVATION.

One hears much these days about
conservation, particularly that which
has to do with the outstanding and
protecting or forms or material wealth,
such g. ores, coal, soil and wlter DOW
er. This Is q praiseworthy movement,
but there is another type Of conserva-
ton that is Of even more vital con-
Germ than that involving the relations
that exist In the myriad homes Of the
land There is little question that
along this one line there are diSsipa-
tion Of vital energy and destruction
OF the best wealth OF American homes
their peace and happiness-that are
or greater moment than the waste in
any material realm can possibly BE-.
This waste takes place fin the pulling
and hauling, faultfnding, bitterness
and dissension that curse and blast SO
many homes. weaken and impoverish
SO many lives, and In instances not a
few actually induce fatal Illness and
result in both murder and suicide.
The average person would call another
fool who. instead or oiling a ma
chine which he wished to operate, put
acid and sharp crit o. at The bear
ings, set in thousands Of homes every
where this same thing l. done contin-
ually-the wearing parts Of the home
deluged daily with the acid Of bitter
ness and dissension and the grit of
selfishness and all around meanness
when these same bearings should be
kept clean and bright with cheerful
ness and fabricated with kindness and
real affection The members or all too

PRUNING AND BLIGHT.

In fruit growing sections where the
pear blight il prevalent it is well for
the orchardist to reduce his pruning
work during tho winter and spring to a
minimum, aB cutting md these times
greatly augmentE wood growth. Thi4
means a greatly increased number OF
new shoots. whose tender tips are egpe-
eially liable to infection by tho blight
germs from the feet OF ants or other
insects that happen to alight on them
More than this. the sap moves very
rapidly in this young growth, which
increases the chance Of an infection
Of the largo limbs or trunk on which
the shoots are growing. Moderate
pruning may he done during July and
early August. md this will not only
not induce ths growth or these shoots
but will cause the tree to produce fruit
buds for the following year. The writ
er had some experience along this line
not long ago and knows whereof he
speaks.
