clares that they have had a proper

The newspapers give much space
to the German victory in East Prussia,

Dehoiaiing Peach Trees.

The peach is q tree that differs
from the apple in bearing its fruit
only on the wood of the previous
summer's growth. This being
true, nature has endowed the
peach tree with . large annual
growth 80 that there iuay be
plenty Of fruiting wood. The
result ofthis charact cteristic is that
the fruit Of the peach 10 mostly
found On the new wood ct the
ends ofithe limbs and every year
gets farther and farther away
from the main trunk. Before
many years the tree becomes top
heavy with long limbs that break
down under their burden OF fruit
that is borne on their extremities.
Regular annual cutting back
OF the new growth will check this
tendency, but will not entirely
prevent 1t. Therefore, we find
that nature has again endowed
the peach tree with the power to
renew itself by sprouts when its
whole top has been cut off close
to the main trunk.
There y no other fruit tree that
will submit 10 such radical treat
ment without serious injury or
death. Such treatment is called
"dehorning" and is applicable
to any peach tree that has be-
come too tall and ungainly or
whose limbs may have been kill

Present War Affects Rails
ing of Horses.

The natural outlet for the horse
aud mule market Of the United
States has been closed on account
of the European war, except for
cavalry and artillery horses and
mules, according to Professor E.
A. Trowbridge of the animal hus-
bandry department Of the Uni
-versity of Missouri. These are
.bsing taken from the light-horss
producing section Of the country.
A great many have been furnish-
ed by Missoari. This movement
has been regarded as a good
thing for the coming standard Of
horses and mules in the United
States, as most Of the animals
are ofinferior grade.
However, the war has stopped
the importation Of breeding stock
and this country will be hamper.
ed for the present, but America
may be called on to supply the
horse and mule market of Eu.
rope later.
There has been falling off in
price OF horses and mules. This
may be due to the extensive use
of automobiles in the country
and city.
From January l, 1918, to Jane
uary /, 1914, the number Of
horses on farms in the United
States increased 100000 head,
while mules increased $4,000
The average price Of horses de-
creased little over 81 a head
In Missouri horses decreased L.
600 head and fell off SO a head ir
value. The number OF mules re-
mained about the same, but they
also fell off in price about Sc
head.
Since 1895 the horse and mule
market prices have been quit,
stationary and there has been
gradual increase in number ant
value until the present slump.
Professor Trowbridge says th'
market has been in an unsettled
condition for the last year and
half.
