Too much Importance can hardly be
attached to carefully sealing or paint
ing over wounds made by the removal
of large limbs from the head or upper
trunk of fruit trees. OF course 1t is
preferable to adopt from the start
such style of pruning as will make
such heavy cutting unnecessary. but
now and then one comes into posses
sion of an orchard tract which has
been neglected when such heavy cut
ting has to be done late or never.
When the surface of such cuts has
become sufficiently dry to take paint
1t should be coated over at intervals
with two or three coats of any good
white lead paint. If the cut is not
more than an inch and half in diam
eter it should be covered with grating
wax. The prompt application of either
paint or wax will prevent the entrance
of rot fungus and keep that portion of
the trunk or limbs sound and firm and
will contribute to the long life of the
tree.

THIS SHAMPOO HELPS
TO R H HAIR

at may sound paradoxical to say
that shampooimg helps dry the hair
writes Mae Martyr, in the Los
Angeles Record. but it is n fact that
women using canthrox in cleansing
the hnir and scalp find their trcsscs
dry quicker than when shampoo mix
lures are used. Aside from this. it
leaves the scalp in a vigorous condi-
ton and gives the hair its natural
glossy appearance.
Next time you wash your head try
this simple recipe: Dissolve a tea
p%oonful Of canthrox in n tcacup OF hot
water. Pour on the head and rub
briskly until the scalp is thoroughly
~massaccd, then rinse well.
"Canthrox costs but n trinc, but the
only certain way To get it pure is Ia

HONOR TO OLD ENGINEMEN
One Company Names Its Locomotives
After Men Of Long and Faithful
Service.

The Erie Railroad company, in pur-
suance of its decision to honor engine
men of long service with the company
by naming locomotives after them. has
thus far favored two Western New
York employees in this way. The first
engineman for whom locomotive was
named Is William r. Benedict of Buff
falo. The second man was Thomas G..
Clark of Hornell. who draws a train on
the Allegheny division and has worked
for the company for AZ years.
II is customary on some railroads
for enginemen to use the same locomo-
tives regularly, while on other lines
the locomotives are used indiscrimin-
ately; on some lines. when a run is
made one day by one man and the
next day by another, alternating regu-
larly, the locomotive makes both runs
and is used by only these two men.
Enginemen generally prefer to have
the same locomotive every time, as
they thus become familiar with its
peculiarities aad are able to get the
best work from 1t. The assertion is
made by enginemen that locomotives
used indiscriminately receive harsher
treatment than a machine used by one
or two men regularly.
But It is not so much in the inter
ests OF economical treatment Of loco
motives that the Erie is naming some
of them for employees. but rather. It is
understood as n trihuta IN the fait n
fnlness of the men thus honored.

BIG LOT SALE
The Sale Of City Lots in the Sparks &

and soon had the confidence of the

the crowd of bidders was with him,

given away, and Mr.. ames Spurlin

Back TO the Soil.
ct.

A century ago Daniel Webster
deprecated the shifting of American
labor from the farms TO the facto-
ries. He did not like to see young
men inme sc themselves in close
and unwholesome workshops" and
give up "tLe voice of the lark that
cheers them at the plow" for "dust,
and smoke, and steam, the perpet-
ual whir of spools and spindles, and
the grating of rasps and saws"
The Polish National alliance
agrees with Webster. Most of the
Polish immigrants were farmers at
home, and yet most cf them, when
they get here, settle in the cities
aud take up new lind' of work.
The alliance wishes TO see them set
lie on he land, where their knowl-
ege of farming could come INTO
play. So it is working out a plan
for he purchase of extensive tracts
Of land and their subdivision into
small farms to be sold to imml-
grants as cheapiy as possible.
Every project Of this kind should
be encouraged. Labor should be
diverted from the city to the coun-
try. 1t Is needed there so that the
output of farm products may be in
creased and the cost OF living kept
down. There should be more small
farms, because they lend themselves
more easily to the intensive cultiva-
ton on which we shall have to de-
pend for an adequate supply of food
stuffs.
With sufficient capital and good
business management the plan oil
the Polish National alliance will be
a success. The alliance can easil,
find good land and good men to pu'
on it.

KENTUCKY has returned to the

stands pledged for most of the things
