ATTENTION NEEDED
IN EVERY ORCHARD
Gather Up All Rubbish and Burn
1t to Kill Insects-Pruning
Peach Trees.

After pruning, gather up all the rub
bish and burn. Fire is a sure cure
for bugs.
OF course. It is easier to shake
fruit from the trees, but the bruises
are bound to show quickly and may
spoil the market prices.
A good time to cut back peach
trees is in a season when the buds
have been winter killed. Prune Wig
orously and there will soon grow q
new head on the old tree.
If you think Of putting out a new
peach orchard don't make the mis-.
take of setting your trees is feet
apart each way. Make 1t twenty.
The old orchard may be sod bound.
Turn it over with pillow and sow to
clover; but be careful not to pillow
deep enough to injure the roots.
Many farmers take excellent care of
everything on the place except the
orchard. They seem to think that
can take care of itself, but it cannot.
1t is rather too late to prune apple
trees now. This should have been at
tended to about the middle of June.
Remember this next year.
Grass and weeds in the orchard
make a fine nesting place for mice
In the winter.
Grape vines will do their best to
live without help, but a little cultiva-
ton and little pruning every year
will make 1t easier for them.
II your grape vines are being dam
aged by the climbing cut worm, feed
them little arsenic mixed with bran
and water and little sugar mixed
with 1t to give 1t pleasant taste. Put
a little of 1t around the base of each
vine and Mr.. Cutworm will turn up
his toes.
To kill sweet clover in the orchard,
NOW it frequently during the summer
and allow it to rot on the ground.
Clean cultivation next year will dis
pose of it.
A little glue mixed with whitewash
will make it stick to the trees better,
but we do not always believe that
such a preparation Is good for them.
Sort your apples when packing for
market. Put all No. fruit into boxes
by itself and the remainder into bar.
rels. You will get a better price this
way for the whole lot than II all
mixed together.
While it is good plan to put nice
smooth fruit on the top layer you may
be sure that the housewife before
buying has the grocer show her the
bottom layer also.

SUITABLE SHELTER
IS OF IMPORTANCE
Worn Out Piece of Machinery Sell
dom Seen, But More Often
Found "Weathered Out"

II you have much stock, poultry,
farming tools, grain and hay, and at
tempt to house 1t all You will have
quite task, but 1t will pay in the
end.
Some have tried to make estimates
of tools and machinery ruined each
year by weathering, and the figures
are simply enormous. Facts are, we
seldom see piece of farm machinery
worn out, but often see it "weathered
out" That is the reason the junk
man does "a land Office business"
Stock, too, which are not properly
sheltered soon get long-haired and
show signs of needing weatherboard-
ing. When you shelter stock poorly,
you must pay for it either in the ex-
ira feed, or in the condition of the
stock
What about the hay crop? On
many farms there is enough hay
spoiled from stacking each year to
pay the interest and some of the prin-
cipal, or more than enough money to
build good barn. It is quite task
indeed to attempt to shelter every
thing, but improvised sheds and other
small buildings will help lot and are
inexpensive and later permanent struc-
lures may be provided.

FLIES ARE SOURCE
OF MUCH TROUBLE
Insects Introduce Some of Most
Undesirable Forms of Bac-
terra in the Milk.
(By J. N. PRICE. Washington Expert

(By J. N. PRICE, Washington Expert
ment Station.)
Flies are source of great deal Of
trouble in the dairy business. They in
troduce some of the most undesirable
forms of bacteria, including disease
germs, in the milk. Their habit of
feeding on decaying material and the
feces of all animals makes them
very dangerous source of contamina-
ton. They will fly directly from the
manure gutter to the milk pail, thus
introducing into the milk the germs
Of any contagious disease with which
any Of the COWS may be affected. They
also carry the germs of the sick room
or the privy vault to the dairy build
ing, in many cases serving to spread
disease broadcast by introducing the
germs into the milk supply of many
families.
The barn, milkroom and all other
places where milk is handled should
be kept as free from flies as possible.
If the manure is hauled out frequent
ly and the premises are kept free from
refuse, the number of flies will be
greatly reduced. The manure should
be, removed before warm weather
comes and the flies begin to hatch.

Vicious Wolves In France.

To talk of wolves in France seems
absurdAa country that has been set
tied for 1000 years, and has a popu-
lation of 100 to the square mile. Yet
in several Of the departments Tor
counties, las we would call them)-
notably in the Department of Yonne,
in the heart of France-the wolves
are extremely bold and enterprising.
Two troopers, one day last spring,
who were riding in company, came
suddenly upon huge wolf that, with
out the slightest hesitation, sprang
upon the nearest horse. The SOL
diers dismounted and drew their sa-
bers, expecting the wolf to turn tail,
but he showed fight and but for the
arrival of a farmer with a gun, who
shot the animal, the republic might
have lost two of her army. The COM
bat would be thought nothing of in
Russia, or even in this country, but in
France-well, it shows how hard it is
for man to exterminate the wild ami
mails that infest the earth.

Large mouths and wide bodies indi
cate good feeding qualities and great
digestive capacities.
No man can produce clean milk
from cows that are permitted to live
in unclean stables.
A COW underfed is not doing her
best work, and COW overfed is losing
something in her production.
A good feeder will soon learn the in
dividuality of each COW, and feed her
so that she will return a profit If she
Is capable Of doing 80.
A wise dairy farmer prepares for
summer droughts by having some en-
silage left over for summer feeding.
Give the COW all the cheap, bulky
food she will eat, but feed the grain
according to her milk flow, If she is in
good condition.
Many a dairy farmer hangs on to
poor bull because he is cheap and be-
cause he is not worth much to the
butcher.
An up-to-date dairy cow must be
handled with understanding. Her
needs must be studied and met. This
cannot be done by an unthinking man.
While it is doubtless true that COW
kept at perfect ease will, other things
being equal, give the greatest quantity

BE KINDER 70 YOURSELF
Women Are Often Victims Of Nervous
ness Because They Don't Know
How to Relax.

One of the important things to know
in life, especially If you are a woman,
is how to let yourself alone, writes
Mary Carolyn Davies in the Mothers
Magazine, The ability to relax, the
art of being iudiciously lazy, the tact
to let herself alone has saved many
woman from nervous breakdown.
We all know the housewife who nags
herself into such state of conscien-
tiousness that she cannot rest. If she
lies down she is continually worrying
herself with thoughts Of the work that
she is neglecting.
Much of the blame for this state OF
pffairs lies at the doors of the moth
ers. The mistake is in their training
Of their children, especially their
daughters. They are taught from ear
Hest infancy to be kind to others, to
bear with them, to forgive them, to
help them; but from birth to death no
one ever tells them to be kind, also,
to themselves.
The woman who nags herself can
make herself more miserable than any.
one else possibly could. She can make
her life more Of nightmare than any
misfortune could possibly make it. II
such women could learn to be kinder
to themselves there is no doubt that
their own lives would be heightened;
and not only that, but the lives Of
those with whom they come in close
contact would be made far more pleas
