TRITE REMARK STIRRED HIM
SuperfIuous Remark UnWeIcome to
Man Who Knew Very Well That
It Was Raining.

IT'S quite heavy shower we're
having" he said, cheerily, to the man
who had entered with his clothes
soaked and his umbrella dripping.
Yes, sir" replied the stranger, testi-
", ut is heavy shower; but you have
failed to remark also the interesting
facts that the shower is falling down
ward from above, that it's wet show
er, and that it is raining on both sides
of the street. Also you have neglected
to observe that this is the year 1914.
that the earth is round, and that there
are four seasons each year. But I'm
obliged to you for your information
about the weather"
And the stranger walked away, with
a glitter of vindictive triumph in his
eye.

DEATH TO THE FRUIT TREES
Cattle Not Only Eat Leaves and Bios
SONS, But Often MutlIate Even
the Large Branches.

Pasturing is often very good for the
animals, but death to the fruit trees.
On many farms the home orchard is
allowed to grow up to grass. which
makes luxuriant crop. The orchard
Is located close to the dwelling and
barn, hence there is temptat ton to use
It as handy pasture. Results are al
ways the same IAN unsightly and un-
profitable orchard within few years.
The only way to remedy the situation
is to plant more trees for the stock to
eat and tear to pieces.
Cattle, of all animals, are the hard
est on fruit trees. They will not only
eat the leaves, blossoms and fruit. but
they will sadly mutilate branches even
of comparatively large trees. Horses
and mules are almost as bad In this re-
spect. With young orchard trees up to
ten or twelve feet In height, COW,
horse or mule will rub, twist and break
che tree till it becomes worthless. The
only safe road to take is never to turn
any kind of animals, except poultry,
into the orchard. Hogs will rub the
trees and cause them injury. and sheep
will completely trim the lower
branches. and sometimes bark the
trees
Where the orchard is to be kept In
permanent grass for any reason, the
best plan for the good Of the trees is
to NOW the grass each year and either
allow it to lie on the ground, as mulch
and fertilizer, or pile it under and
around the trees for the same pur-'
poses In some cases hay may be re-
moved from orchards without serious
injury to the trees and fruit crops.
The orchard should be valuable acre
age Of the farm, and everything should
be, done to enable the fruit trees to do
their best. They must have good soil
conditions for good growth and fruit
ing. Pasturing the ground packs the
soil and causes root injury to the
trees.

She slipped aside small wooden

logs, revealing an opening sufficient
for rife barrel.

sharply. There is not light enough

Brady, see II there are any extra gums
