II is known to be more or less com
mon in Europe. In Germany it is be-
lieved TO be the result of injury to the
roots received in cultivation or in some
other way. In our own country it is
more or less commonly known in many
sections, and doubtless occurs through
out the greater portion of the United
States.
The only treatment that can be rec.
commended at present is to vigorously
exclude all affected plants when set
ting. No one can afford to plant such
trees under any circumstances. The
risk is too great and the chance OF
ever getting any profitable return
from them far too small. OF course
1t is always desirable that the trees
or plants should be obtained from nur-
series where the disease does not ex-
list, but it is not always possible to do
this. The next best thing to do is to
burn every tree in the orchard found
to be affected.

MAN BARKED LIKE A DOG

Mount Carmel man standing behind a
tree thought he held skunk at bay
for that period, but when his brother
in-law, E. J. Richmond, arrived with
a gun and dispatched the animal it
was discovered that a polecat was
fast in steel trap.
Richmond and the formers bull ter
rier were out in the country when the.
dog espied the skunk, the loud bark
ing of the terrier prompted the man
to investigate, and they found dog
and skunk facing each other, but
some distance apart. Richmond vol
unteered to go back home, a half
hours walk, for gun. and left his
brother-in-law and barking dog on
guard over the skunk. On noting it's
masters absence. the terrier aban-
doned it's post and started post haste
after him. Then from his position be-
hind the tree, the brother-in-law began
Initiating barking dog, and every
time the skunk moved he barked.
When Richmond finally returned
with the gun, his brother-in-law ex-
claimed hoarsely: Kill that skunk
quick" and he did as commanded, to.
the chagrin of both men.

comes pretty nearly being a crime
to take an axe among the trees.
Not much use to spray for leaf curl
after the buds break. We tried to

saw him spraying along the middle

prevent leaf curl, but did not know
what caused it. Do you?
How many fine orchards we have

The ground newly set trees should
be firmed frequently for al least a
year as otherwise they are apt to be
blown out of line by the strong
winds.
Do not be afraid TO thin the fruit
o. the trees. Rub off the apples and
peaches until one is left every FIVE
or six inches. 1t takes grit to do
this, but you will have better and
larger fruit if you will follow the plan.
Orchard soil must be rich in organic
matter and for that purpose if for no
other clover crops are valuable.
Orchard ground should not be cul-
tivated later than August first because
cultivation keeps the sap running and
the trees must have time TO stop
growing and harden before winter
comes on.

FEMININE HABITS CHANGING.

II any boys run away nowadays II
iS not to sea, or IL few do. their
fireroom experiences do not lead 10
fame or wealth, says the New YORK
Times. But several recent episooes
hint that there is a new girl as
well as new woman" and that she
is inclined TO give belated imitation
of the "old boy" now vanished or
vanishing. This product OF the age
manifests the restlessness once
monopolized by boys-she wants 10
be independent and self-supporting-
she is tired of protection and advice
So she runs away AS yet, apparent
ly, she does not often run far or stay
long. In her case parents do not
utter a philosophical, "Oh. well, she III
get along somehow and may learn wis
dom from hardship" They know her
dangers, they get excited and they
rush TO the police for help. Then
comes what must be painful notorlety
TO the runaway, but better that than

have a wholesome deterrent effect.
Come to think of it, the 'old girl" did
sometimes run away, but it was al
ways TO escape a compulsion into
distasteful marriage, not TO seek fame
or fortune. AT present, to force a
girl TO wed against her will has be-
come almost as nearly impossible as
to stop her from following her own
inclinations-which was never easy
and the orthodox excuse is lacking.
Whether or not those replacing it are
better time will doubtless tell. but
only constitutional pessimists will
consult their arteriosclerosis for an
answer 70 that question.
