From remotest Mexico comes this
recipe for chilli con carne, which Is
capable of warming whatever cookies
the heart may have and of difusing
calories to ones works at large: First
comes a fire of logs in the open. Second
comes an Ola of generous proportions.
Into the ola put gallon of water and
plenty of the hot chilis, and in that
region Of Mexico they ripen SO hot that
not even the rattlesnake will dare take
refuge in their shade. Upon this be-
ginning lay as much Of a side of beef
in one piece as may be squeezed into
the pot. Set the cover on this ola and
lutte it down with clay. Then put the
pot into the fire and heap the glowing
Goals all over it, with particular atten-
ton to the lid. SO that the luting may
bake into brick. Keep the fire burning
slowly all day long. When night has
come scatter the embers, break the
brick seal Of the OLA, fork out and
throw away whatever of the meat re-
mains solid The remainder is the chill
con carne. No sauce Is needed.

So far we find nothing very
difficult, but in the how anc
when it is another story. IF we
keep in mind the fact that d
weakling tree is not ready to bear
fruit we can eliminate rhat un.
desirable class from this discus
sion. Winter prune then. It is
only within the stocky, vigorous
tree that is at least three years
old that we should deal. Such
a tree will make a good, long
growth, three feet at least, and
sometimes in various districts OF
this section, oyer five feet for the
season. This growth, then, can
be shortened in severely without
Injury to the health of the young
tree. From one-half to two
thirds is usually cut away. When
that statement is made at farm
ers' Institutes one frequently
hears the exclamation, Glory
Cutting off the top" Yes-cut-
ting off all the tops that we do
not need. That it is not an in
jury is shown by the continued
vigor of the trees and the profit
able crops they bear.
When should the work be done?
Well, that is a question that can
be answered in general only. To
set =. a definite date might
prove suitable for one man and
prove severely injurious for an
other. IF the orchardist will eX-
anime his trees in late July or
August or even III September, he
will find a time wien the leaf
buds for the next year are plump
ing up, and when the leaves will
break away clean with just a
little downward pull. That is
approximately the right time to
begin work. 1t may be one time
on high ground and another on
low ground, and different on diff
ferent soils, and under culture
methods, different with the kind
of tree, the variety, and the sea-
SON. If the orchardist will select
dozen trees of the same variety
under similar conditions, and, on
the indication of this bud devel-
opment, prune three, then wait d
week or 10 days and prune an
other three, aud prune each set
of three in succession he can de-
termine for himself the proper
time for the work much more &C.
curately chan anyone else can
tell him.
What are the indications that
the work has been successful or
not? We are dealing with leaf
buds. If we prune too early,
these buds will push out the
same season and form a weak,
watery, growth that does not
mature and is killed back by
frost. If we prune too late we
do Winter pruning and get a
stimulated wood development the
following season. If the pruning
is done at the right time the ma
jority of the lateral buds on the
shoots will develop, not into
blossoms as is often mistakenly
supposed, but into a fruit spur
which will form its bud for the
year following. OF course some
of the upper buds necessarily de-
velop into new wood growth and
not into fruit spurs, or we would
develop a tree bristling all over
with fruit spurs and at stand
still as far as growth IS con
cerned.
