You see one, but you don't see
much of the other. The main
idea in comedy is to have your
chief comedian carry cane. an
eyebrow on his upper lip, and tip
his hat from the back of his head.
He should be able to throw a
brick with deadly accuracy and
have a capacity of 100 falls a
minute. Then fill up a thousand
feet with insanity, and you have
something uproariously funny.
At least. most audiences think
it funny, and they ought to know?

Deiaming a neighbor at the expense
guilty OF the practice, and II may be
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Canadian lands, in the

United States. the folly of this work
shows an exceeding short sighted
ness on the part OF those guilty OF the
practice.
The present war has given some OF
these people the opportunity to exer-
else their art, but in doing it they are
only arousing the curiosity of those
who read the statements and a trifiing
investigation will only reveal their I'M
truthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re-
Gently appeared in a number OF pa

1T is believed that as a result OF the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana
dian Government a number OF former
Dakota farmers who went to the Brit
fish Northwest will be compelled to re-
turn TO the United States. Informa-
ton has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm OF 160 acres. which in the case
OF many OF the former residents OF the
two Dakotas would practically amount
to confiscation."
To show that the public has doubt

The Alberta Government has imposed
a Provincial tax OF 10 mills on the as

There are some special applications OF
these taxes, but the main provisions

The principal reasons for pruning
a peach tree, according to a recent
bulleti. issued by the United States
department OF agriculture, may be
summed up as follows:
On To modify the vigor OF the tree
(2) To keep the tree shapely and
within bounds
90 To make the tree more stocky
ca To open the tree top to admit
air and sunshine.
90 To reduce the struggle for exis
tence in the tree tcp.
Co To remove dead or interfering
branches.
(0 To aid in stimulating the de-
velopment OF fruit buds.
(s) To thin the fruit
90 To make thorough spraying pos
sible.
tlol To facilitate the harvesting OF
the fruit.
The most successful fruit growers
habitually prune their trees as a gen
eral proposition. In doing so they
usually follow more or less closely
some system. although they may have
no clear-cut conception OF just what
their plan involves. There are. there
fore. vide differences OF opinion and
practice. and trees often produce
abundautly under practically all sys-
TENS or with no pruning whatever.
Obviously the pruning which a tree
receives the first two or three years
after il is planted has much to do with
It's future. Mistakes in forming the
head or the results OF neglect during
the early years in the life OF a tree
are practically -irreparsJle On the
other hand. II the tree is well formed
and properly prunea during its first
years. the foundation for a good tree

pruning. IL they occur. may admit Of

except in regions where bleeding from

regions Il should probably be done in
