SPRAY MATERIALS.
How It should be Cared for During
 the Winter.


 Several fruit-growers and farmers have varying amounts of arsenate of lead paste and concentrated lime sul- phur solution on hand. This is due to the fact that they ordered more than they really needed or did not have time to apply this material. Many are asking whether or not it will be of value next year. Both the paste and the lime sulphur but especially the lime sulphur deteriorate rapidly in value with age. The arsenate of lead paste in order to be well kept should be kept submerged in water, that Is the water should never be allowed to evaporate so that the paste will cake or harden, and the paste should not be allowed to freeze.
 The concentrated lime sulphur so- lution if contained in the original packages should not be touched ex- cept to place 1t down cellar or else- where, where all likelihood of freez- ing is removed. All packages, how ever, which have had some material removed should have some cheap oil placed on top of the lime sulphur so that the air will not act on It. Air will break 1t down into its constituent elements, thus causing 1t to deteriorate quicker than will any other thing All lime sulphur that is kept over should be used stronger than is recommended and even then 1t will not always prove satisfactory It will be a good plan to send early next spring a sample of lime sulphur to the company that made it and ask for their opinion of It's value.

The material of which the building is to be constructed has not yet been de- cided upon but the interior of the new church will be fitted up with modern furnishings. The St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic society of the United States No. III incorporated have purchased two lots of land from the Shetucket company on Convent avenue upon which the new church will be constructed.

FRUIT TREE PRUNING.
What Colorado Authority Has to
 Say About It.

Pruning of fruit trees is a subject which Is drawing out discussion at this time of year. Prof. E. P. Sandsten of the Colorado agricultural college has the following to say with regard to winter pruning of fruit trees:-
 The average farmer and fruit grow CT has very little conception of the proper pruning of fruit trees. It Is generally done at any time during the winter season when the tree Is dor mant. If no time is at hand it is de- layed for another year. This system of pruning is disastrous. The fruit trees should be regularly pruned, re- gardless of the amount of pruning re- quired. If pruning is done every year the tree will get into the habit of pro- ducing a certain amount of wood and fruit, and there is little occasion for severe pruning. If the pruning dur ing the first three or four years of an orchard after planting is properly performed, there will subsequently be little need for removing large branch es The pruning will then consist merely Of the removal of superhuous this kind of pruning does not upset or. disturb the growth and fruiting habits of the tree.
 Winter pruning should be delayed until March or until after cold wealth CT has passed. Pruning during De- trous in eastern Colorado, as the wounds are apt to crack from the cold and thus make lodging places for dis eases. Further, the wounds made at this time will not heal over rapidly, while if pruning Is done late in the season the wound will not crack and will heal over as soon as growth starts. If the removal of large branches Is necessary, the wounds should be paint cd. using common thick white paint. Severe pruning in the winter also tends to increase and encourage the growth Of water sprouts"

PROSPERITY LIES IN
 INCREASING THE NUBBIN Something Which All Corn Growers Should be Anxious to Get.

A. P. Sanders, former secretary of agriculture in Ohio, says: Add two ounces to the average Ohio nubbln and tons of prosperity will be added to the railroads. banks, elevators, mills, mer- chants, farmers, and some small change to the preachers" This same prin- ciple will surely apply to the Con- uecticut nubbins, and the majority of the corn growers of this county are most anxious to get the added two a small-sized ear is raised for an av- craze. With hills three feet and six inches apart each way and three stalks per hill there are 10,665 stalks per acre. Many of these stalks of the flint type will produce two ears, thus increasing the total number very ma terially. With the average yield of 42 bushels, the average weight of each ear would be A ounces with one ear per stalk Surely the added two ounces could be produced with the best seed and treatment as the average weight of ear that is produced great ly exceeds this. Thus the principle trouble Is poor stand, due largely to poor, weak seed.
 Travel around the county and it is easy to find numbers of farmers who have their corn hanging on the,side of the barn. This may be satisfactory until freezing weather comes on and the snow falls. This results in the corn becoming wet and then being dried by the midday sun. From now on the corn should be placed where it will continue to be dry-otherwise it will likely become so weakened that poor germination or a weak root sys- tenn will be produced, which in turn will produce barren stalk. Too good care cannot be given to the seed, as 1t is the most essential A little care now will mean less replanting next spring, and finally mean as Secretary Sanders states, dollars to the farmer and prosperity to all

ous years. All apples in bins should be sorted immediately; poor apples, diseased aples, etc, should be re- moved and discarded.
 There are many farmers who should seriously consider whether the time is not ripe to dispose of their apples which have rtpened so rapidly. Apples are ripening faster because of the warm fall and especially dry weather which prevailed just before picking time, and also because of the fact that many people allowed their apples to ripen up more on the trees than they have done formerly.

ALL HALLOWS.

Fellowship wish the elect. What a
throng of beautiful thoughts the reali-
zation evokes! A bond of brother
hood with all the blessed who have
gone before, forehand assumption OF
heavenly dignity, the privilege of pro-
fessed association with eternal glory,
by nobler thinking, purer living, bet
ter being, a passing but magnificent
glimpse of the celestial armament OF
which the visible terrestrial luminaries
are faint picture. To fight the good
fight and to win a place in the holy
midst, to reach the goal and be num-
bered with the victors, to greet each
new morning as replete with heaven
gaining opportunity, to feel that the
day of home summons is momentarily
growing nearer and that our rank
among our glorious forerunners will
be in exact proportion to what we
have earned,-so to feel and commen-
surately to do,-this is duly to keep
the great feast of All Saints.

1t is, however, in the summer time
that it is principally patronized. Dur
ing the months of July and August in
each year hundreds of visitors, STU
dents and teachers here assemble to
drink at the pure we'll of Gaelic tradi-
ton and increase their knowledge and
literature. The collecting of the
money to build and furnish this COL
lege occupied Miss O'Brien's time for
the last few years. She has, never
thcless, done most valuable work for
the Coiste Gnotha, or executive coun-
Gil of the Gaelic League to which she
has been elected year after year.
Miss O'Brien's lectures and her
personality are a great asset to the
Gaelic League in America, and when
it is considered that she has given up
not only a promising artistic career
at the call of the league, but also her
beautiful home on the banks of the
Shannon, it will be felt by all people
of Irish descent or sympathies that
her devotion should meet with due
response, and that the cause she has
SO much at heart should receive gen.
erous support.

Branch of the Five Provinces (of
1reland), has now very distinguished
roll of membership, including Irish
men and Irishwomen of all shades OF
opinion. 1t has done pioneer work in
the way of organizingyar art exhibitions
and dramatic and SOCIAL gatherings
of various kinds to promote Celtic
lines of civilization. S
After her work i'm Dublin, which
lay principally amongsthe elite of So
ciety, Miss O'Brien next turned her
attention to the seabdard districts in
the west of Ireland, where amongst
the small farmers and hardy fisher
folk the purest customs of Ireland lin
ger on uncorrupted. These districts
in Munster and Connacht are the spe-
cial concern of the leaders of the
Gaelic League, who are most solici-
tious that the unbroken tradition of
the Gaelic language, literature and
folk lore should be handed down in
tact in them for future generations.
In one of these Irish speaking dis
tricts, namely, Carrigaholt, West
Clare, Miss O'Brien founded and ell
dowed a Gaelic college for the en-
couragcmcnt OF all kinds Of Irish Gull
ture through the medium Of the native
language. There is also a practical
side to the work of the. college, as the
girls of the surrounding districts re-
ccive there valuable training in
housekeeping and domestic economy.

memory of the famous Irish scholar,
Eugene O'Curry, who was born near
Carrigaholt, is open all the year round.

they are placed on the market.

used in constructing roads. bitches
and fire breaks in, through and
around unsold school and swamp
lands, such land to be replenished as
long as needed from the enhanced
value realized from the sale of such

I have been earnestly advocating
the passage of this Amendment since
it passed the last Legislature. and to
those who have the interest of the
development of Minnesota at heart
