thin OUT FRUIT
ON APPLE TREES
Deserving of as Much Attention
as Keeping Away Injurious
Insect Pests
CBy w. r. CELEBRITY

The proper care and looking after
fruit trees constitute one of the best
methods of ensuring success.
1t might be supposed that this was
stating a truism and, indeed, it is do
ing SO; but unfortunately all too
many orchards are neglected, hence
the necessity for on all suitable &C.
casions recurring to the subject.
Now, the thinning of the fruit on ap-
pie trees is a matter which deserves
quite as much attention as the keep
ing them free of insect pests, and
yet 1t is very much neglected. 1t is
beyond a doubt that the intrinsic
value of apples is often increased by
thinning, the fruit being superior in
size, color and general quality.
The thinning generally improves
the color, and l prefer doing the
work when the fruit has grown to
about ~ inches in diameter. When
ever the trees bear we'll, thinning has
the effect of increasing the size of the
fruit, more especially In the case CT
the Balwin.
No exact rule for thinning apples
can be laid down as the requirements
vary with the different trees and even
with the same tree in different sea-
sons. The amount of thinning, how
ever, should be suited to the condi-
ton as shown by the ages and states
Of the tree, and OF course by the dis
tribution of the fruit on the tree. All
wormy and inferior apples should first
be removed. Thinning should be
done by hand, as the thinning pro-
cess produces a better apple II de-
Ponds upon the grower himself to
market such better quality to the
best advantage.

In ghostly vestments, surrounded by

Twice has the head OF the Sipes clan

bodily out of bed, awakening to see
the form of the ghost "Bsw" out

Aged Survivors Of Our Wars.

l am informed by the United States
pension Office that the last soldier OF
the rebellion will die in 1866. That
is the estimate made by those who
make a study of vital statistics. If
the last veteran survives until that
date he will have lived ninety years
after the surrender of Lee.
Kronk, who died couple of years
ago in New York state, was the last
soldier of the War of 1912, and he
lived considerably more than ninety
years after peace had been signed.
Brakeman. the last soldier of the
Revolution, lived for eighty-six years
after the peace Of 17S3.-Philadelph

SPRAYING MACHINE
is BIG NECESSITY
Common Water Sprinkler for Ap'
plying Mixtures Does Very
Little Good.

A spraying machine is as necessary
for the garden as the orchard. Some
folks use a common water sprinkler
for applying spraying-mixtures; but
this does little good, because it is not
only a great waste of material, but
the plants are not fully covered in
this way.
The liquid should be put on In a
fine mist, not as heavy rain. TIC
apply Paris green in water various
cheap hand sprayers are on the mar
ket now.
They need not be of copper for this
purpose, as Paris green will not cor
rode iron any more than does water;
but when Bordeaux mixture is used
as a carrier for the arsenical poison
land we would strongly urge that this
be done in every case, as 1t must be
done If we put our potato growing op-
erations on a safe basis), then the
sprayer must be made of copper and
brass-iron would be eaten up in a
short time.
The modern knapsack sprayer
which is possibly the best implement
by far for spraying smaller patches
of potatoes-up to three or four
acres-cucumbers or other vines, and
for general use as a spray-machine
in the garden and small vineyard, will
involve a first expense of from s12 to
SIS. but it will pay in any large sized
garden.

TENDERFEET WIN
| WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
HILL AND SONS, THE DAT CHAM
PioNs, ARE cockNEYs BORN
AND BRED.

City-bred in the worlds greatest
metropolis and unframed as to things
agricultural, were ]. c. Hill and his
three boys when they settled on home
steads at Lloydminster, in the Prov.
| ince of Saskatchewan (western Can
ada), eight years ago. Today they
are the recognized champion oat grow
ers of the North American continent,
having won twice In succession the
silver challenge cup, valued at $1,000.
at the Fifth National Corn exposition,
Columbia, s. C. The Plate, officially
known as the Colorado Dat trophy, is
emblematic of the grand champion
ship prize for the best bushel OF oats
exhibited by individual farmers or ex-
pertinent farms at these expositions.
The Hill entry won this year in the
face Of the keenest competition, huE-
dreds of exhibits being sent by expe-
rienced farmers from all parts OF tho
United States and Canada. The oats
were grown on land which was wild
prairie less than four years ago.
When Mr.. Hill and his three sons.
who probably never saw wider acre
age than the hills of Hampstead
Heath, or the parks of London, came
to Saskatchewan eight years ago, they
had little more capital than was re-
CURED for homestead entry fees. They
flied on four homesteads, in the Lloyd
minister district, which straddles the
boundary of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan. They went to work with will,
ripping the rich brown sod with break
ing plows and put in crop, which
yielded fair returns.
They labored early and late and de-
MED themselves paltry pleasures, glad
to stand the gaff for a while in rising
to their possibilities. They talked with
successful farmers and studied crops
and conditions and profited by both.
The new life on the farm was strange
but they never lost heart, handicapped
as they were by lack of experience
and capital.
The farm house, modern in every
respect, compares favorably with any
residence in the city. The Hills have
substantial bank accounts and their
credit is gilt-edge from Edmonton to
Winnipeg and beyond.
There is nothing secret about our
methods nor is our plan copyrighted.
We first made thorough study of
climatic conditions, soil and seed"
said Mr.. Hill 1--WE tended our crops
carefully and gradually added live
stock, realizing from the beginning
that mixed farming would pay larger
and more certain re.urns than straight
grain growing. We have demonstrated
that fact to our satisfaction and the
result is that many of the farmers in
the district are following our exam
pie"
The land that the Hills work is of
the same class as may be found any
where in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or
Alberta. Acknowledgement.
