PROPER TIME FOR TRIMMING
Grower of Raspberries and BIackber-
ries Must Go Over His Patch
Yearly and Remove Dead.

Raspberry and blackberry growers
have task that comes in no other
kind Of fruit growing, says the Fruit
man and Gardener. To be sure there
are thinning and trimming in all fruit
plantations or orchards, but the cane
fruit men must go over their patches
once year and remove the canes
which but lately were fruit laden.
Where a few days ago you picked
dimes and dollars daily, there are now
dead stalks to be discarded. The
proper time to remove this useless
wastage is much-discussed matter
The correct theory is this, the sooner
the better. That means the months
following the harvest, say August 18th
to September 18th. This is the best
time because the quicker all insects
and disease germs are removed the
better. The brush heap incineration
at the earliest possible date is good
sense.
But practice is usually very differ
ent. from theory. Perhaps in most
cases our fruitmen are too busy in the
summer season to do this work. 1t
is done in the comparative leisure OF
winter. And that season is all right,
provided you are not troubled with
rust and bugs. If you are troubled,
strain a point and clean out the berry
patches early-do it even if you must
pay high wages for labor.

Left Lawyer Gaspina.

"A good story was told to me re-
Gently" says DR.. Charles w. Eliot,
president emeritus of Harvard uni
versity, "of how lawyer secured a
verdict in favor of an Irishman
charged with assault with intent to
kill on the ground of temporary insan-
ity. Several months later he met
the Irishman and said:
We'll, Dan, don't you think it is
about time you handed me that ST.
O0O?"
"'What $1,0O0?' queried Dan.
"'Why, the fee of $1,000 that you
promised me I should have if saved
you from prison. said the lawyer.
"'Shure, an did promise We that?'
asked Dan, I don't raymimber.'
Don't remember!' cried the law
yer, sternly, why, you were so CRATE
full at the time that you promised me
over and over again that 1 should
have it within week.
Dan gave q sickly smile. 'Shure
think tn claim is not good wan,' he
said, we know, I was crazy thin!'"

AL CHARGED UP TO BROWN
Janitor Had Lost Nothing and Had
Made Something of Reputation
for Urbanity.

One day Brown lost his temper and
determined to discipline the janitor.
why is it," he said, that every
time anybody in this building loses
anything you ask us if we know what
has become of it?''
Because" the janitor replied, "you
are the only folks that never lose any
thing"
Next morning Brown shouted down
the dumbwaiter shaft: Were short
a bottle of milk; where is it?"
II don't know, sir" the janitor an
swered humbly. "I'll see if I can
find it,
why" said Mrs. Brown, I'VE got
our milk
Don't worry" said her husband.
"Of course he can't find it, but it will
do him good to stew around little.
About Is minutes later Brown was
summoned to the dumbwaiter.
Here's your milk" said the janitor.
'I'm sorry I made mistake"
Brown was bewildered. "Now,
where on earth did the fellow get it 2"
he said.
'He has taken it from one of the
neighbours" walled Mrs. Brown.
Next day Brown complained of the
loss of a package of sugar, which,
though purely imaginary, SO far as the
Browns were concerned, very soon
materialized in the hands of the re-
sourceful janitor. Even Brown got
uneasy then; but, being bent on ven
geance, he subsequently reported as
lost bread, a head of lettuce, and
bag of potatoes, all of which were i'm
mediately produced by the janitor.
When Brown paid his grocery bill
for the month, Mrs. Brown, who is a
systematic housekeeper, scanned the
account.
''Why, they have made mistake"
she said. "They have charged us for
milk and sugar and things we never
got"
Brown went back to the grocery to
inquire.

return. eve got the stuff. The jan

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

The Execution.

A noted English suffragette said
the other day to New York reporter:
your idea of US militants is that
we are vixens, tartars and man-haters,
but, as matter of fact, we have in
our ranks some of the most elegant
and fascinating women in London So
ciety.
"No, the militant is not like Mrs.
Blanc, who said to her daughter one
day:
Il am certainly easy on shoes. Look
at this pair of elastic Sides I've worn
them three years and they're still as
good as new. I'm easy on clothes.
too. There's my tweed-just as fresh
as the day bought it seven years ago.
And hats, gloves, stockings-in fact,
I'm easy on everything
Except father, EN-? said the daugh-
ter, without looking up from her book"

All this talk about the. exploitation
Of labor by capital, class distinction,
living wage, high cost of living, and
SO forth, doesn't hold the slightest
interest for the Canadian farmer.
Why? Because he has proved that
you can't begin too poor to become
rich in Canada; that free homesteads
preclude the possibility of being
robbed Of freedom and independence;
that the high cost of living can't hurt
the man who grows most of his own
necessities; that his labor brings re-
ward in exact and just proportion to
time and intelligence invested.
If those who whine at urban condi-
tons would give little time to in
vestigating those suburban, they
would likely spy a clear way out Of
their difficulties. For the first step,

LIME FOR THE FRUIT TREES
Proves Quality and Quantity of
Fruit-Grapes Are Sweeter.

To get the best crop of any fruit or
grain there must be the best growth
of tree or plant, and this is what lime
provides, DR.. e. e. Hilgard, director
of the California station, a high au-
thority, says that limestone soils pro-
duce stocky growth of trees so no.
ticeable that one can tell the lime
stone section by that character OF
tree growth.
Observation has shown that lime
gives a very favorable root growth
a well-balanced plant, top with roots
and that produces perfection of
Towering and fruition. A large guam
tity and better quality are both dis
tinctly noticeable in lime fertiliza-
ton. Hilgard says also that lime i'm
proves the. quality of the fruit:
grapes grown with it are notably
sweeter. The sugar beet industry,
which is regulated by scientific tests
of quality, is most successful on lime
stone soils.
AS lime is not very expensive, the
right thing for every fruit grower to
do is to make some comparative tests
with it, bearing in mind that a true
carbonate form can be applied at any
season and will not injure either
plants or organic matter by direct con-
tact. In fact, the carbonate mixed
with manure or commercial fertilizer
enhances. the value without any
waste of fertilizer elements.-Ameri.

Spraying Outfits.

A barrel sprayer will spray from
five to ten acres of orchard and costs,
complete, from S12 to $780, A bucket
sprayer is useful for whitewashing or
spraying dozen trees or less; costs
$3.50 to So.
The small hand-compressed air and
knapsack outfits are used for spraying
potatoes, nursery trees, berries and
vineyards. They cost from SIS to SIS.
All sprayers should have brass work

Naval medical authorities, after ex-
perience gained in naval operations at
Vera Cruz, are of the opinion that
white clothing, particularly white
hats, are too easily penetrated by the

commended that only khaki or forestry
neutral clothing be supplied to the
navy for landing parties.-The Path
