University OF Idaho, MOSCOW - The
experiment station of the University
of Idaho is conducting experiments in
pruning fruit trees, and Professor w.
H. Wicks, horticulturist, has the fol-
lowing to say regarding summer prun-
ing:
Much has been said in regard to
summer pruning of fruit trees in the
Northwest, but as matter of fact
very few of our orchardists actually
do summer pruning to any great ex-
tent. theoretically most people think
it very desirable thing, but like
other practical phases of fruit grow
ing it requires definite ideas and some
experience.
After the orchadist has made a
careful inspection of his trees he will
find some growing too fast in proper
ton to the amount of fruit borne,
while the reverse of this will be no.
ticed on other trees. Pruning while
the tree is dormant, or winter prun-
ing, as it is termed, causes the tree
to produce wood the following season
in proportion to the amount removed
at that time. Summer pruning, prun-
ing during the growing season about
July or the first of August, causes the
tree to send its energies into the
formation of fruit spurs and fruit.
The experiment station at Moscow
is conducting pruning experiment in
order to collect accurate data on this
subject. The orchard in which this
work is being done is now years old,
and while the results obtained so far
are in no way conclusive, yet they
are very suggestive. The two varie-
ties used in this experiment are Wag-
ener and Jonathan. The WAGNER
trees which have been summer pruned
have yielded practically twice as much
as winter pruned, while the Jonathan
has given about one-third higher yield
IN favor of summer pruning.
Summer pruning gives an oppor
tunity to thin out trees for the benefit
OF the present crop. 1t is now time
for the orchardist to be watching for
the formation of terminal buds if
summer pruning is practiced. Prun-
ing before these buds have well
formed will cause second growth to
start, which is not desired

Washington, July 13.-Two insur-.
gent speeches against the Canadian
reciprocity bill were made today when
Senators La Toilette, of Wisconsin,
and Bristow, Of Kansas, introduced
their amendments to that measure and
spoke in favor of them and against
specific features of the pending bill.
Senator La Toilette excoriated Pres
ident Taft's administration, not only
with reference TO tariff legislation
proposed, but also on his conservation
policies. Senator Bristow renewed
his fight aginst the present sugar
tariff and urged the repeal of the "16
Dutch standard" test ON imported
sugar, saying it operated entirely in
the interests of the American Sugar
Refining company.
Hoping to reach vote on the reci-
procity bill next week, senate leaders
are figuring seriously on the subse-
quent programme
Besides the Democratic free list and
wooden bills, it became evident today
that friends of the Arizona-New Mex
leo statehood and reapportionment
bills will demand votes, as will advo-
Gates of the campaign publicity bill.
La Toilette expects to occupy most
of the session Monday and Tuesday
in his speech against reciprocity. In
his speech today he called the reci-
procity agreement "a little brother to
the Payne-Aldrich bill.
Continuing his criticism of Taft's
administration, La Toilette said:
In all the record of this admins
tration, no more glazing example is
presented of the complete surrender
to special interests and the complete
reversal of Roosevelt's progressive
policies than that shown in dealing
with amendments to the interstate
commerce act. 1t would have been
difficult to have framed a piece of leg
islation affecting interstate commerce
more harmful to the public interest
than the bill drafted by the attorney
general and recommended to congress.
by President Taft"

Lewfston-Recent heavy rains that
swept over North Idaho have elimin-
ated danger of forest fires in the
mountain regions for at least two
months, is the belief of Major Frank
A. Fem, supervisor of the Salway
Forest reserve, with headquarters at
Kooskia, who passed through Lewis
ton en- route to Boise to meet Assist
ant Chief Forester William Potter, of
Washington, d. c., who will confer
there with all the forest reserve SUI
pervisors of the Northwest relative to
plans being evolved for the prevention
and subjugation of forest fires. Wire
less telegraph stations and aeroplanes
will be discussed, and Major Fem pre-
diets that in few years both will be
installed as regular part of the for
estry service equipment. "a man in
an aeroplane," said Major Fem,
"could make more accurate and ex-
tensive survey of the situation in the
mountains during a forest fire in
few hours than force of 20 rangers
could in week, and at the same time
be exposed to but little danger. Wire
less telegraph stations on the peaks in
the vicinity of the points of most fire.
quent forest fire outbreaks would be
invaluable, and l expect to see both in
use before many years. ="

One Use Of the Eel.

It Is difficult to exhaust the uses OF
the eel Experts In top whipping pro-
nounce dried eel skin an admirable
lash. and tops are by no means the
only victims thereof. There is that
affecting passage In Mr.. Pepys' diary:
"April "a. 1868. Up betimes, and with
my salt eel went down in the parlor
and there get my boy and did beat
him till / was fain to take breath two
or three times. Yet for all I am
afeared it will make the boy never
the better. he is grown so hardened
in his tricks. which l am sorry for,

Pepys' instrument Of castigation was

When They Fined tho Seryanta.


There must have been Il servant
problem even in the specious times Of
Elizabeth, If we may Judge by list
Of rules drawn up by baronet Of that
era for the guidance of his domestic
helpers and recently brought to light
by an English writer. The baronet
evidently liked his house kept in order.
and if it were not made absolutely
spotless on Friday after dinner every.
body responsible had to pay three
pence. He liked punctuality, and six
pence was the fine for meat that was
not ready at II or before for dinner
and at G or before for supper, while
the table had to be laid half an hour
before those times, on pain of two
pence. Oaths were penny each. and
it was equally expensive to leave a
door open which was found shut
while to teach any of the children any
"unhonest speech" was fourpence
The fines were duly paid each quarter
day out of the wages, and with fine
vagueness the baronet winds up,
"They shall be bestowed on the poor
or other godly USE"

Wild Parrota Ara Eiohtera.

Parrots when in their native wilds
live in flocks and guard themselves by
a complete police system which en-
ables them to marshal their collective
force quickly when any animal or bird
attacks one Of their number. They
seem to be disciplined and trained III
fighting together. and all other birds
and animals are afraid to attack q
parrot unless the bird can be caught
alone. Even then a shrill call sum-
mons the parrot army to the rescue.
1t Is said that in the forests all par
rots die Of old age and that none is
ever killed by birds Of prey or other
wild animals.

The Doctors Revenge.

little tale, which might be headed "The

pous had pet monkey which suddenly
became Ill. She had the assurance to
send for prominent physician to
treat the little beast. When the doc

was very much enraged, but he did not
betray himself. He took the sick mon
keys pulse and asked the usual ques-
tions. Now, in the room was q little
boy, Mrs. Portly Pompous' grandson
The doctor approached the boy, exam
ined his pulse also and then said SOL
emnly to the lady: Madam. your two
little grandchildren are suffering from
indigestion. Give them only light food.

Ocular Defects In Artists.


It was said of the late Edwin A. Alb
bey that his nearsightedness had much
to do with his close attention to de.
tail, one Of the characteristics Of his
art. An illustrator who does worl,
in black and white. speaking Of Mr.
lAbbey's conscientious dra wing in OF
details. wondered how much ocular
defects accounted for certain aptitudes
of we'll known artists.
"A cynical person told me the other
day." he said, that he half believed
every impressionistic painter was
nearsighted and drew what he saw
with his glasses of. 1t sounds sen
sible.
"And consider me. am completely
color blind. cannot even tell blue
from yellow. failing which is rarer
than red-green color blindness.
"Yet would not see colors If
could. When l draw. you see. put

"The Girl In The Tax"

One of the funniest and most original
scenes of "The Girl In The Tax" the
merry sensation from Paris, Berlin, New
York, Chicago and Boston which comes
to the Howell Theater for an engage
ment of one night, Monday, Nov. 9th,
occurs at the end of the first act The
scene represents the home of John
Stewart on Riverside Drive, New York.
The hour is about eleven o'clock and
every one has said good night and re.
tired to their rooms. The lights are
turned out by a chic French maid and
the moonbeanS stream in through the
windows opening onto the veranda.
All is quiet.
Suddenly door opens and Percy Pc.
tiers, Mr. Stewards nephew from Phila
delphia who has come 10 New York for
throat treatment and is supposed TO be a
very sick man, appears in full evening
attire. He closes his door cautiously,
locks ii, skipS over and listens at the
other doors and then with a laugh,
leaves the house TO keep midnight ap.
pointment with the Girl In The Taxi
at Cafe Churchill. He has hardly gone
when Papa Stewart cautiously energies
from his room in evening dress, listens
at the other doors and with the remark,
Everybody sleeps but father" sails oui
of the house TO meet couple OF chorus
girls. No sooner has he gone, howev'
er, then Berthe, his innocent and unSo
phiScated son, creeps from his room,
tiptoeS 10 the doors of his father and his
cousin Percy, and prepares 10 leave the
house. Berthe is hard pushed for mon
