WORST STORMS.

Nowhere else do the electrical dis

intense and terrifying Il character az
on the SUBMITS of high mountains.
Last August the laboratory of the So
Ciety of Observatories. built on the
summit of Mont Blanc. was struck by
lightning, with fatal results To one of
its occupants The building Is of
wood. rooted with sheeting Of copper.
and is not provided with lightning
rods. 1t was practically buried in
snow at the time of the disaster. TIE
famous Jansen observatory on Mount
Rlanc was repeatedly struck. although
1t bore numerous lightning rods, con-
nected by cables to some rocks Il few
hundred feet distant. This building
was of wood ana was built on the
snow. The effects of the lightning
were extraordinary and appalling: the
metal tableware was frequently melt
ed or perforated; the bolts and nuts
in the walls were melted: the wood
work charred the metal cap of the
large telescope was pierced with hofes.

where ii originally starts. A very
common mistake is made in heading
the tree too high, which makes un-
necessary work in pruning, spraying
and picking.
Keep the tops of trees well cut back
and the outer limbs cut about ONE

some very pleasing results from or
chards handled in the above manner.
and their future bidc to do well.
Early planting is essential for the
conservation of moisture, and this Is
the prime factor in cultivating an
orchard, If scarlet clover or other
green crops have been used as COW
or crop the previous year, delaying
the plowing would be detrimental, as
the mo sture consumed by the clover
when II starts to grow in the spring
should be conserved for the trees
A dust mulch should be kept In
the orchard by frequent cultivation

walton should cease and Il cover crop
sown If one is to be used: with the
discrimination OF the cultivator the
trees will cease to grow and harden
their new wood for the winter Some
orchardists use a sod mulch system,
but the best results in this section
with the Kieffer have been obtained
by cultivation. .a
The fertility and previous treat
ment of the soil will be the factors
that govern the fertilization. For
orchards with the average soil. /

HOW TO SUCCEED WITH PEARS

Every grower should picture in
his mind his ideal-shaped tree and
then pruhe to form this ideal. Gem
orally speaking. a low, open head is
the tree to be sought, but every grow
er will modify this to some extent to
meet his ideal says an expert in
Farm and Home. In pruning the
young trees the grower should decide
where he wants to start the head, re-
.membering that a limb never gets
any farther from the ground 'than

HOGS ARE IN GOOD HEALTH.

In an article on The Hog Market
in the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, appears the following:
"A year ago the hog market pre-
sented an entirely different aspec,
from that of today. At that time
drought. causing dried pastures and
small yields of grain, and cholera in
the territory tributary to Chicago
brought flood of little pigs to the
market to be sacrificed at a price
hardly equal to the cost of produc-
ing. Among the heavier hogs but few
had been fed out because of the scar.
city of feed both in the way of pas
ture and grain. Today every hog
comes to market carrying a good load
of fat on his back.
During the first week of August
1911, the receipts of live hogs at Chi
cago amounted to about $4,000. 900
pounds. For the same period this
year the receipts were $4,000, 900
100000 pounds, the market is nine
ty cents to one dollar higher. The
scarcity of other foodstuffs and the
general good quality of the hogs now
reaching market are. responsible for
this condition. Future prospects look
equally favorable; cattle and sheep
shortage will continue, and hogs are
not overly plentiful. The packers are
not overly plentiful. The packers
are not disturbed at the heavy stocks
of pork in their cellars. as sooner or
later those places that are deficient
in pork supplies must buy. With
southern United States and the most
of Europe in this condition, Patrick
Curahy forecases that during the fall
export trade in. lard will improve" 2
