An emperor OF Germany besieged a
city which belonged to one Of his rebel
lious noblemen. After the siege had
lasted for long time the emperor de-
termined to take It by storm. and to de-
stroy all 1t contained by fire and sword
He did not, however, wish TO injure
the defenseless women. Therefore he
sent n proclamation into the town say
Ing that all the women might leave the
place unhurt and carry with them
whatever they held most precious. The
noblemans wife instantly decided to
take her husband. and the other wo-
men followed her example. They soon
issued from the city gate in long pro-
cession. each one with her husband on
her shoulders. The emperor was so
much struck with the noble conduct Of
the women that he spared all Even
the city itself was left untouched.

Rubber Plan. OH for Umbrellas.

A vegetable oil used in making pa
per umbrellas In Japan Is pressed out
Of the seeds Of the rubber plant. This
oil is made In the various islands
famed for oil and seeds from these
plants. Sandy ground Is favored for
the cultivation of the plant. and the
oil Is extracted from the leeds by
presses The yield Of seeds is esti-
mated at 20 bushels per acre. The an
nual production throughout Japan
amounts to $4,000 bushels. from
which over gallon of oil per bushei
Is extracted The oil before 1t Ia
used Is boiled and then cooled until It
can be applied by hand to umbrellas
with piece of cloth or waste. No
machinery or tools are used In apply
ing the oil. When the oiling is com.
plete the umbrellas are exposed In
the sun for about Ave hours. This oil
is also used In making the Japanese
lanterns, artificial leather, printing
ink, laquer, varnishes, oil paper. and
paints.

WHAT AGED TREE
SHOULD WE PLANT

Now that the fruit industry has
taken another stride, thousands Of
trees will be set this spring, and
many of the would be orchardists
are wondering what age tree to plant
and altogether it is question to
consider.
Our experience may be of some
value to some Of these men who are
so anxious to become orchardists as
we have set different aged trees and
also have grown trees to sell and to
plant ourselves.
We believe that the one year old
whip, as 1t is termed among nursery
men, is by far preferable for the
man who is careful and can cult
vate and care for them. This means
that the man must form the head OF
the tree and train 1t as 1t should
grow.
Possibly you want to know what
this one year whip looks like. From
outside appearance 1t Is simply q
straight shoot from the ground UP.
without any limbs whatever; how
ever the buds are there wherever
there was a leaf left last season.
You can leave these buds wherever
desired and each bud should make
a limb, therefore you have the shape
Of the top you wish to make in your
mind, and here is the material to
work with. However, do not start
your top too high, and do not leave
your buds too close together on the
body. A one year budded whip is on
a two year old root. while the one
year grated whip is on a one year
root. This is why the budded whip
Is preferable to the grated whip.
Two year trees with the heads
formed are the kind mostly sold by
nurserymen, and IL the head is form
ed right there Is no objection to
them, but they are often formed too
high to suit me. Three year trees
may do to set, but trees older than
that you had better let the other
fellow have, even though they are
offered to you at bargain, for they
are runts, and while they may bear
a little quicker. they are runts, and
that is all there is to It. So one and
two year trees are preferable, every
time.-Omer r. Abraham, Morgan

no matter how much may be applied.
Nor cultivation after the crop is
planted cannot make up for the de-
ficiency in preparation.
Now to get the soil into a condi-
ton suitable for the successful grow
ing Of any crop requires work. Do
not think that you can slight 1t and
get the best results. First pillow the
ground properly. Turn over every
part Of It. One can 60 over a piece
Of sod and leave part OF 1t unturned
but that will not do. The harrow can
not pillow very we'll and It will not
tear up that which the pillow left.
Don't pillow 1t too wet. Be careful
about that. Then when you have 1t
well piawed. go over 1t with the har-
row Immediately and harrow 1t un-
til you think you have it in fairly
good shape, but don't stop, keep on
narrowing II and then harrow it
some more. The soil must be pull
verified and broken up until II is in
the best possible condition. Make 1t
fine. Break up and tear those sods
into fine pieces, not only on top, but
for several inches deep. and for some
crops deeper. The soil must be fine.
Now 1t matters not what crop you
grow, oats, corn. wheat. potatoes,
etc. the ground to produce best crops
must be made in suitable condition.
An extra days work on field may
seem loss but consider the result
and the needs of the crop and then
see II 1t must not seem necessary.
Try part of field with the best of
preparation and the other part with
ordinary preparation and note the
difference. Pay particular attention
to the preparation of the soil then
the same attention to the other part
and win success p. w. Shepard
