HOW TO PRUNE FRUIT TREES
Branches Wanted as Leading Shoots
Should Not Be Touched-Weaker
Ones May Be Punched Back.

In pruning fruit trees, attention has
to be given to the manner in which
the particular kind bears fruit, writes
an expert in an exchange. The cherry
and the pear both bear their fruit on
short spurs, and in trimming, there
fore, the effort should be to produce
a large quantity OF healthy fruit spurs.
Summer pruning does this admir-
ably.
The branches that we want to re-
main as leading shoots should not be
touched; but the weaker ones may be
pinched back about midsummer, one
foot or two-thirds of their growth.
This will induce the swelling of a
number of buds that will produce
flowers instead of branches. and in
this way fruit spurs can be obtained
on comparatively young trees; but
with such kinds as the grape vine, the
fruit is borne on the branches of last
years growth, so the effort should
be to throw all the vigor possible to
those growing branches that we want
to bear fruit the next season.
To do this we pinch back the shoots
that we do not want to extend; or
even pull these weak shoots out alto
gether. A little pruning is then nee
essary in the winter; to shorten
back these strong, bearing canes,
or to prune out altogether the weaker
ones that we check by pinching back
during the growing season.

The American Soldier.

1t was excellent advice that Gen. ].
Franklin Bell gave to the American
troops prior to their setting out from
the Philippines to do police duty in
China, a the Detroit Journal. 1t
was in effect: Be polite to all; gentle
and courteous to those weaker than
you; respectful to those of higher
rank, no matter what their nationality
may be; adopt a friendly attitude to-
ward foreigners, and keep yourselves
neat and clean. The advice might be
summed up in a couple Of words-be
gentlemen. If 1t be followed 1t will
give the world a higher opinion OF
the American soldier and. consequent
ly, of the American nation. 1t will let
the unfortunate Chinese see that we
are interfering as their friends, not
to bully and rob, outrage and murder
but to maintain peace in the sec
ton of the country we occupy and pro
tect foreign property from destruc-
ton.

Pure From start to Finish.

There is perhaps nothing in daily use
In the home in which purity Is so i'm
portant as II is In baking powder. On
It's purity depends the purity OF the ma
terials used, the success OF the bakings,
etc. And possibly the one thing that
has served to make Calumet Baking
Powder so much of a favorite with the
critical cooks of the country. is the fact
that Calumet is pure from start to finish
You can rely or Calumet's purity for
the simple reason that every ounce OF
the materials used is first tested by ex.
perienced m and then mixed with
the utmost care to insure its uniformity
And standing in the can or changes OF
weather, etc., cannot alter 1t In any re
spect.
But perhaps the best thing OF all. IL
the fact that Calumet never fails. Every
baking in which Calumet is used is sure
to come from the oven as light and as
fluffy as you can wish. This not only
means wholesome, tasty foods-but 9
big economy as well. Try Calumet mex

The young wife and her father were
arrested on a warrant charging them
with failure to comply with the COM

to school, as she had to get her hus-

Box Fruit for tho East.

I think there is a big opportunity in
the east for well-packed, high-quality
fruit in boxes. There are going to be
a great many apples packed In boxes
and those growers who pack scaly,
wormy apples will say the box-pack
is no good, says a writer in an ex-
change. I paid five cents apiece for
Baldwin apples in Ithaca last al In
the city market recently they we're
selling Rome Beauty apples for five
cents apiece. If the growers will adj
vertise the quality of their fruit and
put the packs up SO that people can
depend on them, they will beat the
western people out.

this grape is noted are high quality
