Care OF the Young Fruit
Trees

The first year after the tree is
planted it must have constant care.
1t is like child, it's first years of
training determi ne it's character or
form. After the main branches have
become fixed, all the pruning the
trees require is to give symmetry
and regular outline to the head by
pinching off the ends of the shoots
that have tendency to outgrow
the main branches, and to remove
such as are likely to be injured by
rubbing togethes, or that are so
thick as to interfere with good
growth and ease of gathering fruit.
When they begin to bear, the
weight of the fruit will bend down
the branches and open the head, SO
that all the sunlight and air needed
for the protection of the foliage
and the fruit will enter, and large
crop of perfect fruit can not be
borne on tree without a large
amount of foliage. During the
first five years of the trees life, and
perhaps longer, all the pruning
needed can be done with the thumb
and finger and the pocket knife

Snake Tries To Eat Calf.

In search of stray calf which
had become separated from the
rest of the herd of cattle belonging
to w. H. Keyser, of Page county,
James Cubbage who is herding the
cattle in the Blue Ridge, was hor-
ri6ed the other day to find the calf
some distance from the other cattle
firmly in the grip of a monster
black snake of the dangerous spec
les which infest that region.
The snake was holding on with a
death like grip to the ycalf's tail,
seven inches of which it had swal
lowed. The snake when found was
making frantic efforts to complete
it's feat by swallowing the entire
calf.
When Cubbage found the calf,
it was fatigued and enacted, show
ing that it had carried the snake
for some time.
With a heavy club, Cubbage
broke the snakes back. The snake
was seven feet long.

Senator Lafayette Young on
Road Dragging

During arecent interview Senator
Lafayette Young, of Des Moines,
Ia. expressed his satisfaction over
the results from the dragging of
roads, says the American Cultiva-
tor. 1t is surprising he said what
a good road can be made of by drag
ging thesurface with what's known
as the King drag. This dragging
is done after rain. The soft earth
is smoothed over and the rough
places filled up. When roads have
been dragged for a year the surface
becomes hard and smooth and will
dispose of a very heavy rain.
The question has often been rails
ed why it is possible to construct a
good road which will stand heavy
traffic by means of the King drag
without the use of macadam. In
the first place, it is explained by
Mr.. King, a travelled road that has
been undisturbed for a year or more
possesses a tough hard crust which
is valuable. Many road men cover
this imprevious crust with thick
blankets of soft loose earth, while
Others tear it all to pieces.
So much has been written lately
regarding the dragging of roads
that many people beginning the use
of the drag become discouraged be-
fore they get started. They should
understand that it often takes a
whole season for the road to be-
come properly puddled and baked
to withstand the rain and traffic.

Arsenic Mine in the Appla.
lachianS.

The only mine in the eastern
United States which has. so far as
known, mine arsenic ore and pro-
duced white arsenic from it is To-
Gated on the south slope of Lick
Ridge, one of the minor elevations
of the Appalachian Mountains, at
Brinton,; Va, and is described by
Frank L. Hess, of the United State
Geological Survey, in an advance
chapter on '::Rare Metals" from
Bulletin 40.
The arsenic deposits were found
by c. R. Brint in 1901, and the
work on the mine and on the cree
ton of a plant for making white
arsenic was begun in March, 1902.
The brick necessary for the build
ing of the plant were made and
burned and the lumber required
was cut and sawed on the place.
The making of white arsenic began
in January, 1908.
The mine, says Mr.. Hess, is
reached from Christiansburg by a
very good mountain road. on which
the only steep grades are within a
mile of the mine, which is about
2 400 feet above sea leyel.
The country is we'll wooded and
fields left, uncultivated are soon
overgrown with trees. Owing to
the roughness of the country the
tillable fields are small and difficult
to cultivate. As a result of these
handicaps and the comparative
isolation of the country many of
the people are poor and labor is
abundant and low priced.
A copy of the report may be OBJ
tanned on application to the Direct
or of the Geological Survey at Wash
ington.

to the fact that in an institution of
