WORKING IN OLD ORCHARDS
Pruning During Winter Will Save Elk
ira Work in Spring When Time
Is Much More Precious.

Now is the time to take out dead
branches from old orchard trees. Prun-
ing now will save extra work in the
spring when time Is precious. More
over, many insects and diseases will
be destroyed. To make sure of it burn
the limbs. Dead limbs provide excel
lent camping grounds for insects and
diseases, says the Cultivator.
Always cut close to the trunk or
main limb; do not leave stub. The
inner bark will then have the best
chance of healing over the wound Saw
on both sides of the limb, so that the
bark will not be torn off when the limb
falls. Always paint over the wounds
with tar or some sort Of paint to pre-
vent the escaping of moisture. Re-
paint them whenever it becomes neces-
sary.

suddenly summoned to her eter-
nal home from Rochester, Minn.,

from her late home at Sheldon,

Mrs. Rife had suffered from a
cataract on one Of her eyes for
some time past, and on the 10th
Of last month she was accompan-
led by her son Of this city to the
Mayo hospital for treatment. The
operation was successful and she
had so far recovered that Harvey
left for Rochester last Thursday
to bring her home. But when he
arrived there he found that his
mother had been suddenly called
home by death.
About 2:t5 Friday morning,
Mrs. Rife awakened and asked
her nurse for a drink of water,
which she took and in response to
an inquiry remarked that she was
feeling fine. She lay down again
and in few minutes quietly and
peacefully entered the Great Be-
yond, her death being caused by
heart failure.
Mrs. Rife was a good Christian
woman and had been church
worker nearly all her life. She
leaves eight living children, all

The stockholders Of the Farm

Sheldon are branching out and
propose to do things on their
hook. About thirty of them met
in the directors room of the First
National Bank in that city the
ether day, and decided to handle

grain hereafter. The stockholders
are much pleased with the amount
Of business given them since they
organized last summer, ,and by ad-
ding machinery and twine they
expect to do much more this year.
The stockholders sent two of
their number to the machinery
show at Fargo to look over the
fines on display there, and sew
aral carloads were bought for the
spring trade. Early in tho spring
Che company will erect a large
warehouse in which to store their
machinery.
The question Of handling lum-
her was discussed at some length
and all those present seemed to
favor adding lumber to their busi-
ness also. Tho subject of con-
structing a potato warehouse was
also favorably considered, but if
one is built it will be operated by
a separate company. A subscrip-
ton has been started for the pO-
tato warehouse and a goodly sum
of money has already been
pledged.

Mcleod, N. D., Feb. 6, 1913.
Mr.. Chas. Richards,
Wahpeton, N. D.
Dear SIR
Twenty-six below zero. this
morning with a strong N. w.
wind. I just had a swell time
here for the first couple of days,
but about the third morning I
found my overalls hanging on the
chair where I had left my blue
suit the night before. OF course
l took a tumble. AS I went to go
out to the barn, right in the door,
way Of the house, there sat a milk
pail. Then l began to see just
where l was at.
I MIXED all right. But this
morning there were two milk pals
in the doorway-coming pretty
thick. l thought. l milked my COW
but then had to get acquainted
with the COW, and myself. l got
long fine until l got about a half
,pailful of milk. Then something
happened. The COW kicked, and
over went, the pail turning bot
tom side up and the milk split all
over me.
But we did not stop at that.
When she made the kick she got
her hoof fast in the pocket of my
overalls. Then she drew her hind
leg up front, clear up to her front
leg. and as my overalls were good
and strong, she snaked me along.
Then she just Strengthened out
that hind leg and the way l went
across the SIT. driveway wasn't
very slow.
Right here is where I had some
great luck, for the COW on the
other side of the driveway missed
me only about 2 inches with both
hind feet. Then went to the
house. You just had ought to see
me when I got to the house! Here
is where I got little sore, for
Katie wanted to take a snap shot
Of me. But oh no, not me! Well,
I then got the Mrs. up and she
went out to the barn to finish the
milking, and &c below zero.
So Mrs. Donovan says: "You
can't lay around here. Take this
milk out and feed the calves" I
had to do some figuring, for l had
to carry three pals of milk. But
II carried them all of course. The
boys had gone after a load of hay
you see, and we had four calves
in one pen. So I had to take out
one calf at time and feed it. So
I took out Mr.. Calf, but don't
know how things would have
wound up if the Mrs. had not come
to the rescue.
I find farming is a little differ
cnt here than the way you and I
used to farm around that coal
heater in the hotel Office.
| One Of the boys was just in the
house and said: We'll, I guess
tomorrow you and I will have to
haul a couple Of loads of straw" ("
I says, How far is it?" He says
"Only three miles" SO il pull
Through o. X. I will write again.
John.
