How to Save Girdled fruit Trees

A. E. Burch of Spokane, has seen
reports Of trees being girdled by
enemies of orchardists. He has a
remedy for saving trees SO mistreat-
ed. He says: "1he process is simple.
The man should get some healthy
water sprouts, cut them in length a
little longer than the wound in the
bark of the tree. Flatten each end
with a sharp knife, then. carefully
raise the bark at the upper edge of
the wound and slip flattened end
under. Insert it deep enough to
allow the other end to slip under the
bark on the lower side of the wound
The slips should be placed quite
close together in spaces Of two
inches or less around the tree.
have had the best success.with this
treatment and have seen the slips
grow until the space between them
was completely filed. The trees
should be attended to just as soon
as the sap begins to start"

Soil Robbery

Thomas A. Edison is one tof the
wisest men Of this day and age, be-
cause he has accumulated vast
store of knowledge on which to build
wisdom, and thus he is capable OF
thinking how to apply that know
ledge to some practical constructive
pur pose, for knowledge without
application is not wisdom. He mas
lately rebuked most stingingly the
great body of farmers in this
country whose farming operations
have been but little else than soil
robbery. He says:
s'1 have never been able to see how
country was enriched by exhaust
ing the natural fertility of the soil
to grow wheat and then export it
and receive in exchange commodity
like gold"
There are Only two classes in this
country that have made a profit out
of this stupid transaction and policy
the railroads and the Wall street
bankers. For their enrichment the
farmer has ruined his soil, all be-
cause he woull not put as much
brains into his work as they did, and
their brains were expended in max
ing him ruin himself and his farm
His igl ORANGE proved their oppor-
tunity. Hoard's Dairyman.

What is Most Needed

What is most needed is resolu tie
purpose by each. man to do his best
and be his best as a farmer and as a
man, conscious Of his power, un-
moved by the rabble of idle tongues,
sure that if he keeps the weeds out
of his own soil and attends quietly
to his own BUSINESS it will not much
matter what anybody else says,
thinks or does. 1t is possible in
the most practical spheres Of life to
live out this simple philosophy. II
there are wrongs and injustices the
type of man best qualified to deal
with them is the, quiet, strong, con-
servative citizen who thinks before
he acts. No man can achieve his
highest usefulness and happiness as
a pessimist. Breeders Gazette.

ANCIENT GLUTToNs.
lntemperance In Eating and Drinking
Among Greeks and Romans.


In very ancient days men Of emf
hence were great drinkers.
Caesar on certain occasion while
drunk with wine is said to have CIV
en- Eutychus, his charioteer, sstip''
amounting to $4,000, the largest
"tip' on record.
Philip of Macedon was a drunk
ard. He always left the banquet
table staggering. Alexander the
Great, his son, inherited the weak
ness for drink. 1t took him two
days and two nights to sleep off the
effects of a royal banquet He died
of drink at the age of thirty-two.
Nero was in the habit Of sitting
down at noon and eating and drink
ing until midnight. Tiberius was
drunkard. After becoming en-
peror Of Rome he vas intoxicated
SO often that his army nicknamed
him @Biberius,'' meaning sstippler.''
S'Eat, drink and amuse yourself.
All else is vanity" said Sardanapa-
lus, the last king of the Assyrians,
and those words were written on his
tomb.
The Greeks were moderate drink
ers until they began to copy the
luxury of the Persian feasts. The
Romans initiated the Greeks and
carried oyerindulgence to an ex-
IRENE never equaled in another age.
Gluttony and intenperance reigned,
and huge fortunes were spent in
single repasts. Of the many feasts
given by Vitellius not one cost less
than $500, and his reign was almost
a4continuous debauch. ; Commodus
was a notorious drunkard, and Sep
timus Severus was not much better.
When Heliogabalus assembled the
throne he had a historiographer
whose special task was to record the
orgies. Forty courses day were
served at his feast, each one of
which cost not less than $4,000. He
gave fortunes to inventors of new
drinks.
Apicius spent 5000, 900 on rare
wines and dishes. He went over
his books one day and found that he
had but EGO left. Rather than live
on such q pittance he killed him
self.
Many of the famous drunkards
drank f10O worth of wine at a sin

Cicero and Pompey by Lucullus e.
