CONVEX MIRROR DID THE JOB
.DIabolical Conception Peculiar to
Summer Resorts Cured Little
Bobby of Vanity.

Bobby, little New Yorker. had his
first real boy clothes. He was no long
er a girl The ignomlny OF skirts had
departed afar OF. He had emerged in
to the dignity OF q suit Knockers and
Norfolk Jacket. with a belt--the real
thing. tending toward the estate Of
"big man" The elation which Is
usual on such occasions were aug
mented in Bobby's case by the fact
that he had large number OF rela-
tives, mostly feminine. who rejoiced
with him and who were loud In their
expressions Of approval. "How well
he looks!" Doesn't he look hand
some?" Hell soon be real MANI
"How becoming his new clothes areI.
and similar auntie rhapsodies soon
had Bobby's masculine vanity work
ing overtime.
In the afternoon Of the same day
Bobby was taken by the large and
admiring family to Coney Island. This
was more than ordinarily good op-
portunity to show OF and Bobby made
the most of it. Not one Of the family
realized that thus far the young man
had not seen his transformed self in q
mirror. One Of the first things they
encountered ct Coney was large
mirror of the convex variety. and one
Of the aunties delightedly steered
Bobby in front Of It, while the family
looked on with suppressed smiles.
Bobby looked. A puzzled. disturbed
expression spread over his face. He
looked at the family and they were
all as solemn as ghosts. How do
you like your new clothes?s one Of
them asked. Bobby made no reply.
He looked at himself. then at the
mirror again.. then turned away. in
cold dignity. but from that day to
this vanity is quality which makes
its appearance no more in Bobby's
mentality.

@zsag NOTE5

Keep the weeds out of the orchard.
Fire blight attacks the pear. ounce
and apple.
Thinning fruit usually pays, grading
fruit always does.
Put on an old mitten and get after
the tent caterpillars.
Raspberries should be picked when
they have turned red.
There is not home that can afford
to be without blackberries.
In growing dewberries on large
scale one OF the serious problems Is
that Of securing pickers.
AS a crop for the young orchard
beans come as near being the ideal as
anything that can be grown.
To watch the trees and vines grow
that one has planted. to provide bow
ers as well as fruit, is a pleasing am
-bition.
Get the blackberries out of the sun
as soon as they are picked. or they
are likely to turn red in spots and be
less salable.
Leave plenty OF mulch between the
strawberry rows when uncoverlng. Il
helps to retain moisture, and keeps
berries cleaner.
Dig out and burn blackberry or
bIackcap plants that are infested with
red rust There's no other way to
light this disease

SAVING TREES BY GRATING


Orchard trees which have been Cir
died may often be saved BY what is
called bridge grating. This consists
in bridging the injured parts by means
Of scions Of the last seasons growth,
thus connecting the part below the
wound with that above. First trim
the bark around the injured parts.
Then sharpen the ends Of the scions
to wedge shape and fit tightly into
the layer Of new wood just beneath
the bark, called the cambium layer.
Cover the union at the end OF the
scions with grating wax, completely
TO exclude the air. Also wrap the
wound with cloth to protetct It from
driving out, likewise cover the wax
with old muslin to keep 1t from being
melted by the sun. Il the lower edge
OF the wound Is near enough to the
ground to make It practicable to do so,
It IS better to cover 1t three or four
inches deep with fresh earth.
