The Irishman Scored

Tht duke OF Connaught tells a good
story against himself. Some years
ago when he was raised to the posi-
tion OF lieutenant-colone OF the
First Rife brigade. the late Queen
Victoria commanded that he should
only be saluted as a regimental Off
Ger, and not as a member OF the royal
family.
On one occasion. however, an Irish
sentry. seeing the duke and duchess
approaching. turned out the guard
and gave the royal salute.
The duke was much annoyed and
proceeded to give the sergeant in
charge a piece of his mind.
But the quick-witted freshman was
equal to the occasion.

The name OF Fanny Davenport was
for years a household word. Young
collegians put her photographs on the

Personal property belonging to Miss
Davenport was sold at auction in
New York a short time ago. A locket
containing her portrait and a lock OF
her mothers hair was put UP. Miss
Davenport had worn ii constantly dur
ing the last years OF her life. The
locket itself was valuable. There was
a bid OF one dollar and s%eventy-hve
cents. The a%uctioneer was dumb with
astonishment- Finally he gathered
himself together and said that there
must be some Misunderstanding
Miss Davenport loved il better than

it contained the love token OF her

PREPARATIONS FOR HAY CROP
To Get Best Quality OF Alfalfa II Must
Be Got Into Now or Stack I'm
medisteIy After Being Cut.

Don't overlook the fact that in order
70 get the best quality and most mar
ketable alfalfa hay il must be got
into the NOV or stack as quickly as
possible after il is cut.
Give all the machinery in connection
with the putting up OF this crop a
thorough overhauling. Look over the
moving machine; see that everything
is ready. See that all the sections are
securely riveted on the sickle. Have
all the sickles sharpened before you
start to work. IL the plates on the
guards are smooth it will pay to take
them of and grind them; a good edge
on the guard plates is very essential
The stacker rope should be given
careful attention. A considerable
quantity OF hay may get wet IL the
stacker rope gives out after a few
loads go up and it is necessary to go
TO town for a new one. Get all these
things in shape in advance. that the
work once started can be pushed to
the limit.

IL is a startling fact that II some ami

crocodiles alive in India today which

STAKE AND PRUNE TOMATOES
Habit Of Plant May BE So Altered
That Patch is Scarcely Reeoeniz-
ahle-Moisture is Saved.

Are you stalking and pruning the
tomatoes this year? This is a great
scheme. and il you have not tried IL.
do so on a demonstration scale just
for variety's sake.
The tomato plant. in its frantic ef-
forts TO reproduce its kind, makes
naturally an enormous vine growth
with innumerable branches. The re-
suit is great green growth. a large
litter OF little tomatoes. and mole
shade than is good for best fruit de-
velopment. Stake a tomato plant and
prune ii to a single stem. and you
change all this; you alter the habit OF
the plant. so that the tomato patch is
scarcely recognizable.
In the first place there are Few
leaves. only one above each fruit
bunch. and this grows so huge that
IL is never known for a tomato leaf.
Then the sun and light reaches every
part OF the plant and fruit, and the
latter hang in clusters and attain
larger size than under natural condi-
tons. There are no little tomatoes.
There is a considerable economy in
space. as the tomato plants stand up
straight and slender. and are mostly
fruit, and none OF the tomatoes have
a chance TO rot or mildew. Pruning
is a quite a job. AS a suficiency OF
moisture in the soil is what largely
controls the fruit yield. The pruning
method, by which a much less amount
Of soil water is consumed than
through the more luxuriant green
growth OF unpruned plants. will be
found a great advantage in this re-
spect.

single step is to surround the proposed
bird sanctuary with a vermin-proof
fence. Such a fence should prevent
entrance either by digging OF by climb
ing. but will serve its greatest use II
it canine be climbed. and is therefore
cat-proof. Il is impracticable to build
an i~mpenetrable fence. the next best
device is to put guards Of sheet metal
on all nesting trees and on poles sup
porting bird houses. This should be
done in any case where squirrels or
snakes are likely 10 intrude. as 1t is
usually impracticable TO fence out
these animals. Tree guards should be
six feet or more above ground. At
tacks by hawks, owls, crows. jays. or
other enemies are best controlled by
eliminating the destructive individuals.

PREVENT WASHING OF SOILS
Frequent Crops Of Glover or Grass
Which Is PIo~ed Under, Making

By f. IT.

one OF the gravest problems OF the
farmers Of today who are living on
billy lands is how to prevent soil ero-
sion. Much of the washing OF farm
lands can be prevented by blowing
deep. so as to make a subterranean
reservoir for the storage Of precipita-
ton. The water penetrates readily
through the loose soil. and its move.
ment through the underlying soil is
very much slower than over the sur
face.
Frequent crops Of clover or grass
which are plowed under make the sur
face soil spongy with humus and re
tard the washing Of the soil. All hilly
lands liable to wash should have a
cover r during the winter. A war
ranty deed will not keep the soil Of the
careless farmer from washing away.

ENEMY OF APPLE TREE
Woolly Aphid One OF Most Seri-

nurseries containing respectively about

forty million OF American-grown apple
seedlings are used in this country ev-

a percentage OF infestation is at once
apparent.
1t is. therefore, with no slight inter.

that this cycle includes three genera
