HORTICULTURAL NOTES.
Important information Tersely Told
by n. r. Patterson, Montana
Agricultural College.

Let no diseased fruit be left on the
ground or hanging on the tree to start
growth on the succeeding crop.
Remove all litter from the orchards
that will harbor mice or insect pests
during the winter months.
Protect the young trees from mice
and rabbits A good way to do this is
to take lath or wrapping of wood We
neer or building paper.
Give the fruit ladders a careful in.
spection before putting them away.
See that there are no rotten or weak
places. Better give them fresh coat
of paint
Are you thinking about a location
for that new orchard? You should be.
High lands are preferable; they afford
good drainage. Air drainage as well
as soil drainage is what is wanted.
A good rule to follow is to cut out
dead or blighted wood any time re-
gardless of season.
Like the scrub COW there is no place
for scrub fruit Think this over.
Scions for grating may be cut any
time after growth ceases. Never
when frozen. Tie these in bundles and
store In cellars until ready for graft
ing next winter.
The standard insecticides used in
fighting plant lice and other sucking
insects are kerosene emulsion, whale
oil, soap and tobacco decoctions.
More money has been made in rails
ing ferrets than elephants. The moral
to this statement is, look after the
little things on the farm.
Are you thinking about the value OF
a good wind-break for the orchard
1t is we'll, where possible, to keep the
wind-break at least forty feet away
from the fruit trees.
BY raking up all trash in the or
chard and burning it many hybernat
ing insects and plant diseases will be
destroyed. ..~'
See that the fruit ladders are safe
A decayed step may mean a broker
leg or arm. Frequent coats Of pain
will preserve the soundness of thu
wood.
The main benefit to be gained from
mulching Is the fact that such plaI
retains moisture.
Use spring wagon in hauling you
fruit to the warehouse or shipping
station.
Never let the roots of nursery frui
trees dry out.
Pack fruit honestly and uniformly
A good rule to follow is to handle al
fruits as If they were eggs.
Pick up fallen fruits promptly an.
turn into vinegar or feed to stock
Avoid waste.
Bean poles cut in August and house,
when not in use will last great man
years. Have them of good length, an
when they rot off they can be re
sharpened and again used.

SEES THROUGH GLASS EYES.
Artificial Substitutes For Natural

q. Lenses Prove Successful.
DR.. William G. Winslow Of Boston,
noted writer and former Episcopal
minister, who lost his eyesight four
years ago, has recovered his vision.
Two artificial glass lenses have been
substituted for the natural lenses, and
he can see through them.
With the cataracts the natural
lenses of his eyes were removed.
Glass lenses were substituted These
serve as we'll as the real ones. The
operation Is regarded as one of the
most remarkable ever performed and
is the first Of its kind. The glass
lenses fash to the brain the picture

Is any remote spot on earth or any

counsel, that graft is merely the mod.

old as the race itself.'' - IT,.
The case came before the privy coun-
Gil on appeal from the chief court of
lower Burma. The acting superintend.
ent and his assistant and the chief
clerk of the Kheddah department-the
principal business of which Is the con-
duct of organized hunts of wild ele-

ing padded the payrolls, commissary,

The government asserted that there
were only 292 hunters in the expedi-
ton. The defendants, it was alleged.
had cooked up the accounts so as to

Trial Lasted Three Months.
After a trial lasting almost three

the expert elephant hunters In that

guilty. The charge was that there had
been a criminal breach of trust under
section 400 of the Indian penal code.
The defendants appealed to King
Emperor George through the privy
council, which has decided that the
prisoners put up poor case on appeal

Funds to Fight tuberculosis.

WHO W lS'e SSs~N'Oo'Os
Based on reports from all parts OF
the United States the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis has issued a statement
which shows that in 1910 nearly $15,-
100000 was spent in the fight against
tuberculosis, as opposed to $8,000,0O0
:pent in 1909 The largest item of ex.
pense in 1910 was for treatment in
sanatoria and hospitals. $11,376,500 be.
Ing expended for that purpose, or
more than double the amount for 1909.
The anti-tuberculosis associations
spent $7G0,500, and the tuberculosis
lispensaries $SS9,O00. The special mu-
1ic:pal and state expenditures aggre-
gate $1,75O.O0O.
The statement declares that the
most significant fact in the survey of
he years work is the increase In the
percentage Of public money spent.
While in 1909 535 per cent. of the
state, municipal or county funds, 62.6
per cent. came from public appropria-
lions in 1910. The actual amount of
public money spent in tuberculosis
work this past year was $9,267,900, or
more than double the amount from
:his same source in 1909. This fact
indicates, the national association de-
,lares, that anti-tuberculosis associa-
ions are gaining ground, by securing
increased appropriations from public
money.

Ostriches That Waltz.

One Of the oldest sights on the
sandy stretches of plain in southern
Africa is party of waltzing os-
triches. A recent writer on the sub
1ect thus describes their queer antics:
when there are a number of them
they will start of in the morning and,
after running a few hundred yards,
will stop, and with raised wings will
whirl rapidly round till they are stupe-
fed, or perhaps break a leg. The
males pose also before fighting and
to make their court They kneel on
their ankles, opening their wings and
balancing themselves alternately for
ward and backward or to one side or

now on the left, while the feathers are
bristling. The bird appears at this

to forget all that is going on around
him, and can be approached and
caught. The male alone utters a cry,
which sounds much like an effort to
speak with the mouth shut tight"

The Prairie Woif.

It is said by those who know the
beast we'll, that the prairie wolf,
though not courageous when opposed
to man, is fine member of the ami
NAL world. He has a cunning brain,
subtle instinct and a strange no.
madic. prowling nature. Few wild
animals are such natural-born scouts,
such indefatigable self-suppcaters,
such playful fellows among their kind
Many a settler has seen the timber
wolf start out with his brothers on a
midnight raid and pause on reaching
the lesser forest lakes to take an
hours scamper on their frozen sur
face. At these times the whole pack
breaks loose into fun, rolling and
tumbling over each other like kittens,
racing and playing tag until, as q
woodsman says, you can almost hear
them laugh. In spite of his great fear
of man-the man with a gun-he can
hold his own at close quarters, and is
one Of the 6ercest wild things in the
world. He lives and dies, always
lean, always with eyes glaring for
flesh, always unsatisfied.

FLAX is PROFITABLE
Wonderful Paying Proposition In
Western Canadian PrairieS.

So much is heard of the wheat, oats
and barley grown in the prairie lands
of western Canada, and so much has
been told Of the wealth to be made
out of the raising of cattle on
the succulent and rich grasses
of those fertile plains, that a
most important product has been al
most lost sight of, Flax. Recent press
reports advise us that on one of the
last boats to clear from Fort William
lat the head of Lake Superior) for
Buffalo, there were 241,000 bushels OF
flax valued at $5S3,220, and on another
boat leaving the same day there were
2SS,O00 bushels valued at $4,000.
There has been big demand for Ca
madam flax this season, and the lake
movement has been very heavy. Flax
is always a sure crop, and gives to
the farmer who is anxious for quick
return after getting on his land, the
chance he is looking for. There Is
opportunity for thousands yet, on the
free homesteads of 100 acres, and
many of these are available within
short distance of the lines Of railway
that are already built or under con-
struction, either on the main line or
branches Besides these free grant
lands there is an opportunity to pur-
chase from railway and land COM
panies at reasonable prices.
The display OF western Canada's
grains in the straw as well as
threshed grains and grasses recently
made at St. Louis was an excellent
demonstration of what the country can
do. It proved splendid as an illustration
of the resources Of that vast prairie
country, which during the past year
has again proven it's ability to pro-
duce excellent yields Of wheat, oats
and barley-and fax. Not only this,
but the splendid herds Of cattle are
a source Of large revenue. There is

ter get into law Office as soon as he
can, though he should wait until he
has had experience enough to be quite
expert. Law Office stenography leads
directly into court work, which, gen.
orally speaking, pays the best of all
branches of the business. Also so of
the 80 United States senators are law
yers, as we'll as PIP Of the 1913 men,
bers of the house, with proportionate

circumstance which might give a
good law stenographer direct influ-
ence for political preferment.
The main requirement for ste.
nographic court positions is prof.
cheney; your boy should be able to
fill this necessity by the time he is in
his early twenties, provided he began
at sixteen to eighteen and used every
effort to improve himself instead of
endeavoring merely to hold his job.
Then his pay would depend upon the
particular state he happened to be in.
In New York city, for example, he
would receive anywhere from $1,750
to $3,500 year, with the possibility
of doubling his income by furnishing
copies of testimony, court rulings.
ETC., to lawyers at the regular fees.
1t frequently happens that two or
three court stenographers who have
proved their ability form partner
ship for this particular class of work
and launch out in Independent busi-
ness, employing assistants and typists
and becoming wealthy. These firms
get great deal more than court
work, doing special work for lawyers
and other firms, and often taking
or data collected by some state COM
mission or legislative investigating
body.
Through their personal connecticEs
or demonstrated ability, many Ste
nographers of this grade WORK in
gress. In the latter case they are
paid $4,000 a year, out of which sum,
however, they have to furnish one as.
sistant at $1,000. These stenograph-
ers add to their incomes by doing
special work. The committees and
commissions appointed by congress
and legislatures always have ste.
nographers.
Many stenographers have also made
a competence by doing free lance
work entirely, getting work where
they could and remaining free of bus
mess connections. One Of these free
lances spent six months prior to the
holding of big international scien-
tific convention in studying the SUBJ
jects scheduled to be discussed, so as
to become acquainted with the rare
terminology. 1t happened that he was
the only stenographer present able to
take down the speeches and debates,
and his revenue in furnishing copies
afterward amounted to quite a few
thousand of dollars.
This, in a nutshell, is what there is
in stenography for the energetic boy.
But as stated in the beginning, its
chief value is as stepping stone to
some business, any business, through
a private secretaryship. Some private
secretaries receive large salaries, the
heads of large corporate interests
having paid as much as $4,000 a
year to the right man.
