PROPER TIME
FOR PRUNING
Apple Trees May be Treated Any

most Importance.
(By r. G. wEArHERsToNB)

Apple trees may be pruned any time
from late in the fall until spring. Care
should be exercised in pruning to give
the trees an open head. This does not
imply that all small limbs should be
removed, leaving lot of whipstocks.
but that such Of the larger limbs that
are parallel and close together. or
those that cross. should be cut out.
Half of the difficulty of pruning Is
avoided If one decided to allow the
tree to take it's natural turn rather
than to shape it to some particular
model.
Too many fruit growers think that
pruning a tree shortens its life. There
ia little reason for such belief other
than the general statement that 1t is
unnatural to prune a tree. However,
nature prunes more heavily than men
and at all seasons and in the rudest
manner. BY this 1t should not be un-
derstood that care is not necessary in
the mechanical operation Of pruning.
It is Important that large limbs be re-

CHILDREN AFFECTED
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken in with their moth
ers' milk. Mothers cannot be too care
full as to the food they use while nurs
ing their babes.
The experience OF a Kansas City
mother is case in point:
Il was great coffee drinker from q
child. and thought could not do with
out 1t. But found at last it was do
~ me harm. For years 1 had been
ubled with dizziness, spots before
q eyes and pain In my heart, to
which was added, two years later, q
chronic sour stomach.
"The baby was born months ago
and almost from the beginning, it, too
suffered from sour stomach. She was
taking 1t from me!
"In my distress consulted a friend
OF more experience and she told me
to quit coffee, that coffee did not
make good milk l have since ascer'
tained that 1t really dries up the milk

at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then I turned to Postum
with the happiest results. 1t proved
to be the very thing needed. 1t not
only agreed perfectly with baby and
myself. but 1t increased the flow OF
my milk.
my husband then quit coffee and
used Postum and quickly got well Of
the dyspepsia with which he had been

dizziness. blind spells, pain In my
heart or sour stomach.
Nov we all drink Postum from my

Ellen Terry's Joke.

When Ellen Terry was presented
with Founders gold medal at the
New theater. New York, recently-an
honor conferred in recognition OF her
great services to dramatic art-she
was called upon to make speech OF
acceptance. 1t so happened that the
actress was exceedingly hoarse and
she was therefore forced to cut her
remarks short. So she told this story:
"A friend of mine once bought par
rot and gave much money for 1t with
the understanding that 1t could speak
fiuently, but when he reached home
with it he found to his dismay that
the bird vase dumb. So he took 1t
back This parrot cannot say word,

Drilled Grain.

Drilled grain will yield from one
fifth to one-fourth more crop than the
hand-sown. The drill deposits the
seed in the soil at uniform depth
and this cannot be done by hand SOW
ing. When sown by hand many seeds
fall in depressions and are covered too
deeply by the harrow while others
are left on top of the ground and are
not covered at all. The roller should
follow the drill.

Good Lice Killer.

good liquid lice killer is made by
dissolving in ordinary kerosene all the
crude napthaline fakes it will take up.
The solution is an excellent disin-
fectant for use about poultry houses,
as well as a lice killer. Used on the
dropping boards and roosts, 1t will de-
stroy and prevent red mites, and will
also kill disease germs and sesds Of
