LoW-HEADED ORCHARD TREES
Three Feet 10 Common Height for
Apple, While With Peach and
Plum Il 10 Much Lower.

Commercial orchards Of apples and
pears are nowadays headed much
lower than formerly, three feet being
a very common height for starting
the head Of these trees. while with
the peach and plum the head is
started even lower, eighteen to TWEEN
ty inches being common height.
The reason for this Is that in GER
tain localities, where windstorms are
frequent, the low-headed trees are
less likely to be broken, lose q
smaller proportion of their fruit, and
are less subject to injury from sun
scald as the low heads Of the trees
serve to certain extent as q shade
for the body.
The cost of harvesting the fruit
from low-headed trees is much less
than that OF gathering from tall trees.
With the low-headed trees consid-
cradle portion Of the crop can be
gathered by the picker standing upon
the ground, while with high-headed
trees the major part of the work
must be done from ladders, which
greatly extends the time required to
do the picking, and consequently, in.
creases its cost. Pruning, spraying
trimming, as well as harvesting, will
be found to be more convenient or
low than high-headeC trees.

Thorough and constant spraying ia
the price of good fruit.
In Michigan the apple barrel is Still
the most popular package for this
fruit.
Do you know that sifted coal ashes
are good soil lighteners? Save them
for this purpose and apply to heavy

Easy to graft good varieties upon
them.
Give plenty of sunshine these days.
Curtains do not belong to windows
where plants are kept. Roll up the
shades; wash the glass.
Get ready to do some grating. Top

The cherry comes first, then plum,

Fruit trees should be planted in

Agricultural College.

At the Hawkesbury Agricultural
college in Australia the trap illustra-
ted herewith has been found very ef-
fective In catching sparrows. During
one year more than 1000 birds were
caught, sometimes at the rate Of 70
or 30 a day. The birds enter at three
small holes about two inches in diane
ter at the bottom Of the v In the
center and just thrae inches above
the wire netting floor. This floor is
thinly covered under the holes with
soil on which little food, such as
bread crumbs or wheat is sprinkled.
The mesh of the net is one inch.

BABY's HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave

again and 1t spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until 1t was on his
hands and arms. l bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood

him, but he got worse all the time.

BURN BUILDING TO KILL GERM.
Only Way to Get Rid Of Them and
Occasion Was Made 4 Good
Object leseson.

A ramshackle building in Winston
Salem was recently burned at the re-
quest of the local Tuberculosis
league, because 1t was said to be alive
with tuberculosis germs and could not
be PROPERLY fumigataed.
For days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
hour Of destruction were hung about
In prominent places. Among other
things the placards said: Within the
past Is months two men who sold
fruit, ETC., here have died Of tuber-
culosis, but unconsciously left millions
Of tuberculosis germs by careless
splitting. The building Is SO open that
1t cannot be effectively fumigated
The only practical means Of dsin'
fecting 10 by fire."
At the appointed hour, while null
lions of tuberculosis germs were be
ing burned, 5000 pamphlets telling
how to prevent consumption, were dis
tributed to the crowd looking on.

Yellow TRANSPARENT Apples.


We had to pick five or six times
last year in order to get the fruit in
prime condition. We used the five

box this year also. There is more
money in the Williams early red, al
though the yellow transparent is Ger
tainly good. People demand red ap
pie, and we try not to give the dealer
a red apple until the yellow is done
so do not ship both apples to the
same dealer. All early varieties must
be handled with great care, says q
writer in an exchange. We expressed
our early apples because We had not
enough for a car on account Of un
even ripening. We find summer ap

for making cover for the sap bucket

which no doubt they win put Hobart
