AFTER PRUNING

The pruning OF two-year-old tree at
the time of planting is the same as
for a one-year-old after one years
growth in the orchard.
THE one-year-old tree is a straight
whip, varying in length according to
the variety and the conditions under
which It has grown. The one-year
tree has the advantage OF the two-year
tree in that the grower can start the
head at the point at which he desires.
The height OF heading should be be-
tween IA and "a inches. Whether the
trees are pruned to high or a low
head is a personal question and thepo
are points in favor of both, but the
weight OF facts is in favor OF low
headed tree. The liability Of damages
from sun scald is lessened, the trees
are easier to prune and to spray, tho
fruit is harvested more easily, and thei
trees are not so badly damaged by
wind.
The method of pruning is the same
for either type. The whip should be-
cut to bud, generally on the south
side, as the winds often reduce the
growth on this side OF the tree, Al
smooth cut should be made, slopingt
away from the bud TO hasten healing
over. II the trees are strong and tho
season favorable, from four TO eight,
shoots will be sent out on the original
stem. These shoots are to form the
scaffold branches.
Improving Form Of Tree.
'The pruning for the second and
third years will consist in improving
and developing the form Of the tree.
The main leaders should be cut back
as in the younger trees. The lateral
shoots should not be cut back SO Sc
verely, for the grower should aim to
develop a good strong tree. If the
branches are crossing or interfering,
they may be headed back, or the weak
er shoots may be removed. All shoots
that grow back through the center of
the tree should be removed.
THE pruning from the third year
should be done so as to form a COM
pact tree.
after this time, the formation OF
the fruit spurs should be started. II
the growth is very rank, the spurs
will form slowly, but in the slow
growing varieties the spurs are formed
early. Besides the natural forma-
ton, the, heading back of the small
shoots may convert these into fruit
spurs. If this work on the young trees
is done regularly, only small limbs
will need to be removed, and the tree
will come into bearing at an earlier
age than otherwise"

Muriel was already helping my love
out of her heavy Russian coat, cost
ly garment lined with sable. and
when, after greeting Jack and Ollnto.
she was comfortably seated. took
some notepaper from the little writing
table by the window and scrubbed
in pencil the words:
II need not write how delighted I

mighty has heard my prayers for you.

dent was himself engulfed."
Bending and watching intently as
wrote, she drew back in horror and
surprise at the words. Then | added:
1--WE are all four determined that the
guilty shall not go unpublished, and
that the affection placed upon you
shall be adequately avenged. You are

seen power to extricate you from the

She took the pencil. and holding it
in her white fingers sat staring first at
us, and then looking hesitatingly at
the white paper before her. Her posi-.
ton, amid hundred conflicting emo
tions, was one OF extreme difficulty.

Before me stood my love, a slim,
tragic. rather wan figure in a heavy
dark travelling coat and felt toque,
her sweet lips parted and look Of be-
wildered amazement upon her coun-
tenance as burst in so suddenly
upon her.
In silence I grasped her tiny black
gloved hand, and then, also In silence,
raised II passionately to my eager
lips. Her soft, dark eyes--those eyes
that spoke although she was mute
met mine, and in them was a look
that ! had never seen there before-a
look which as plainly as any words
told me that my wild fevered passion
was reciprocated.
She gazed beyond into the room
where the others had assembled, and
then looked at me inquiringly. where

were, and Muriel fell upon her and
kissed her with tears streaming from
her eyes.

was loath to reveal to us the absolute
truth.
Muriel. standing behind her chair,
tenderly stroked back the wealth of
chestnut hair from her white brow
Her complexion was perfect. even
though her face was pale and faded,
and her eyes heavy, consequent upon
her long, weary journey from the now
frozen North.
Presently. when by signs both Jack
and Olinto had urged her to write.
she bent suddenly, and her pencil be-
gan to run swiftly over he paper.
All Of us stood exchanging glances
in silence, neither looking over her,
but each determined to wait in pa
thence until the end. Once started.
however, she did not pause. Sheet
:.fter sheet she covered. The silence
for long time was complete, broken
only by the rapid running of the pen
Gil over the rough surface of the pa
per. She had apparently become
seized by sudden determination TO
explain everything, now that she saw
we were in real dead earnest.

intently, and as the frelight fell
across it found II incompatible. Yes;
she was afflicted by loss Of speech. 1t
was true, yet she was surely mex
pressibly sweet and womanly, peer
less above all others.
With a deep-drawn sigh she at last
finished, and, her head still bowed IN
an attitude OF humiliation, 1t seemed.
she handed wha. she had written to
me.
In breathless eagerness I read as
follows:

hand that directs all things? You
came in search OF me, and you risked

FEWER BIRDS THAN
IN FORMER TIMES
More Encouragement and Pro-
lection Would Increase Num-
Der and Decrease Pests.

Our bird population is much less
than it ought to be, according to the
biologists. More protection and en-
couragement would help to increase
the number of birds and correspond
ingly decrease the number OF insect
pests.
That breeding birds prefer thickly-
inhabited centers OF population to for
ests in one OF the conclusions Of the
census. This refutes the widespread
belief that humans and birds are nat
urally antagonistic.
1t also seems probable that as our
human population increases so VIM our
bird population.

CARE IN FASHIONING BUGLE
Making Of instrument Used In the
Army Is Delicate. Complicated
Process.

From start to finish, the making OF
an army bugle is a process OF much IN
genuity and interest. A bugle may not
at first sight present a striking re-
semblance to its cousin, the coach
norm, but the one is practically a
curled-up version of the other, for. be-
fore the bugle is bent into shape, 1t
consists OF a narrow tube, 81 inches
long.
In the first stage of manufacture
the bugle is cut out OF sheet copper
and rolled into two thin cylinders,
technically known as the bell and
the branch" The narrow tube, which
is the bell" is gradually shaped out
on molds until the opening is the regu-
lar 4-inch diameter. 1t is then spun
on a wonderful machine, and an expert
workman takes the rough edges on the
copper.
Both sections are afterwards filled
with molten lead, preparatory to the
bending stage, and it is this solid
stuffing which prevents the tube break
ing IN the process, and allows 1t to
keep its shape. The expert workman,
with the aid of formidable lever and
hammer, bends the bugle into the IA
miliar shape, the lead being subse-
quently melted out at charcoal fur
mace, after which the instrument Is
sent of to the polishers.
One OF the most intricate parts OF
the bugle is the mouthpiece, which is
made of nickel silver and turned out
on a special lathe. With the mouth
piece fixed, the instrument is ready
for the testing-room.

MANS FLESH IS
TORN TO sHREDs

While in an unconscious condition
from we'll gas, Thorsten Anderson,
a well digger of Marion, N. D., was
dragged from the bottom of 75-foot
we'll which was only "a inches in
diameter and studded with nails and
while he was saved from death by
asphyxiation the flesh on his back
and other parts of his body is torn
to ribbons and he has one broken leg.
Anderson had completed a new
we'll on the Albert Opdahl farm near
Marion and started down an old we'll
for the purpose of securing q part of
the curbing. He had three assist
ants working with him and these let
him down about forty feet when he
signaled them to pull him up. He
had struck gas. However, an hour
later he insisted on going down again
although his assistants protested.
This time he reached the bottom of
the we'll and started to work. 1t
was not long, however, until all ac-;
tivity ceased and the assistants rea-

and that the only way to save his life
was to. bring him to the surface at
once.
Unable to assist Anderson's limp
body was forced up through the
sman nail-studded tube, at times the
mans clothing and flesh being caught
by the nails to such an extent that it
was all the three men could do to
turn the windlass.
It was CHASTITY sight that met the
eyes of the three workers after An
derson was finally gotten to the sur
face and after being given first aid
at Marion, the man was rushed to
hospital where it is thought he will
recover despite the narrowing ex-

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
IN COUNTY JAIL
Alleged Auto Thief Taken to 5.
D. on Serious Charge.

The sheriff of Webster county, s.
d., left today with man by the
name of Frank Lahman, wanted at
Bristol, S. D., for alleged stealing of
two automobiles, one belonging to .
dentist of that town, Buick car,
and the other Ford. It is said that
the latter was practically a new car
and was sold for 800 but was recov-
cred by the owner. Lahman was
captured at Courtenay Monday morn
ing last by the town marshal from a
description which had been sent to
Courtenay by the sheriff of Ward
county, N. D., where officers were at
tempting to recover Buick auto
that had been stolen at Berthold, N.
D. Lahman was in the Courtenay
postofce inquiring for mail and ap-
peared. to be waiting for letter from
Chinook, Mont, at which place it is
reported he sold a car which had
been stolen. The deputy from Minot
came to Courtenay and brought the
the prisoner back to Minot but it de-
veloped that he was not the party
wanted there and was returned to
the custody of the South Dakota
sheriff and brought to jamestown.
Lahman is said to have sold the
Ford car, stolen near Henry, s. D.,
where his operations in buying and
reselling cars which had question
able ownerships continued for some
time. There was a reward offered
for his capture. which will be given
to the Courtenay marshal, Mr..
Stringer.
Attempts Suicide.
While in Jail at Jamestown await
ing transportation to South Dakota,
Lahman attempted to commit suicide

used for disinfectant purposes. He
was sick as. a consequence but no
fatal results followed. He is about
4a0t@@years- Of age: Friday night Bepa-
ty Fitzgerald was assigned to watch
