THINNING THE FRUIT
is GOOD PRACTICE
0vertaxing Capacity Of Tree by
Excessive Crop Is Short
4 Sighted Policy.

Thinning the fruit is step that
many fruit growers are slow to adopt
and yet it is as commercially profitable
as the culture of the soil or spraying,
and should be regarded as essential. In
a good crop year peaches set in pro-
fusion far beyond the resources Of the
tree, and this is also usually true Of
plums and often apples.
To overtax the capacity of tree by
an excessive crop is very short
sighted policy. The evil results of
overbearing are seen in irregular hab-
its of bearing, for an exhausted tree
will take one or more years to re-
trieve its powers. They are seen in
a shortened life and sometimes in
death within the year; in diminished
vigor which invites attacks of in
sects and diseases; in small under
sized fruit which sells at low prices
and is often unmarketable; in a
greater proportion of wormy and rot
ten fruit.

tance of from three to six inches. To
many six inches will seem excessive,
but experience will justify it in the
case OF large-growing varieties. No
fruit should be permitted to be in
contact and in thinning bear always
in mind the room required by an in
dividual fruit when grown to full size.
Thinning should be done early when
fruit is the size of hickory nuts, but
after the drop that usually takes
place in early summer is past But
while thinning is best done early as
involving less tax on the tree, it is
far better to do it quite late, even
when fruit is nearly full grown, than
not at all.

Fund for Literary Men.

The royal literary fund, which is
making special appeal for subscrip-
tions on account of having abandoned
the annual banquet from which it de-
rives great part Of it's income, owed
its inception to one of those tragedies
of poverty common in literary annals,
In 1888 a famous Greek scholar, Floy-
er Sydenham, was arrested for a
trifiingNdebt due for his frugal meals
and cast into prison, where he died in
want and misery at the age of eighty.
His sad story becoming known, evoked
sympathy, the practical outcome Of
which was the establishment of a fund
to render assistance to needy men of
letters of all nations. The chief pro-
moter of the fund was David Williams,
Nonconformist minister and friend
of Benjamin Franklin, whom France
honored for his services by making
him citizen of the republic.-London
Chronicle.

Grating Vlnifera Vineyards.

cleft must be made by splitting.
With slight blow Of a wooden mallet
the grating knife is driven one-eighth
of an inch into both wood and bark
(see Fig. Co. The chisel end Of the
grating knife is then placed in the
mark and driven in an inch or so, suf-
ficient to open a cleft wide enough to
allow the entrance of the scion Gig.
D.. The scion is inserted and when
the chisel is released and removed
the tension of the wood will hold the
scion firmly in place Gig. E).
AS soon as the scion is in place, all
cut surface of stock and scion should
be CAREFUL covered with a couple of
inches Of moist, well-pulverized soil
(see H, Fig. b, and stake driven in
such position that it will support the
first growth of the graft. The complete
filling of the hole may be deferred
for few hours, except in extremely
hot, dry weather, but not long enough
to run any risk of having the scion be-
come even slightly dry. No wax, clay
or similar material is needed. There
is nothing better to put around the
union than moist, loose soil. If the
cleft is too large it is a good practice
to cover the cleft in the stock with a
leaf or anything that will exclude the
soil The filling up of the hole with
soil should be complete and the whole
scion may be covered up unless the
soil has a tendency to bake. When
finished, each graft will be in the mid
die of wide mound Of soil (see H2

too dry. The mounds should not be
disturbed by hoe or cultivator unit

mounds form hard crust, this crust
should be carefully broken with the
fingers.
Judgment and careful work are
needed in suckering. When the gratis
have started to grow vigorously, SO
that the shoots can be tied to the
stake, it is safe to commence sucker
| ing. When gratis are slow in starting.
and the suckers vigorous, it is neces-
sary to sucker before the scion has
grown much. This can be done safely
if care is used.

Conserving Health and Safety

In recent years much interest has
been taken by insurance companies in
the education of the public in matters
concerning health and safety. One of
the great companies that have head
quarters in New York circulates
among its policy holders various PAM
phlets dealing with vital facts of this
nature. One of them relates to first
aid in the home. "The object of this
booklet" it appears, lis to teach pre-
vention of disease and injury, when
to call the doctor, and the first thing
to do when illness threatens or acci-
dents occur in the home"
This sound reasoning is also found
in the little treatise: "a healthy per-
son is much better prepared to escape
and to resist disease than sickly
person. Nor is it so difficult to be
healthy if one is careful. Good air,
good food, good water, good habits,
a proper amount of exercise, sufficient
rest and sleep, personal cleanliness
and attention to the bowels are neces'
sary."-New York Medical Journal.

starving "rroopa" Send Food.

The New York Suns correspondent
with the Foreign Legion, writing on
April "a, says,
con a patrol the night before last
we left Paris newspaper near the
German lines. 1t contained a story
about the starvation undergone by the
enemy which we thought would inter
est them. Last night Captain G. of
another company of our battalion,
when out on patrol, found the news
paper, with nice little note in it,
placed in basket of food. The basket
contained two bottles Of beer, some
sausages Inevitably, bread, cheese
and other good things. The note said
that if the finder was satisfied with
the contents he could get more by
leaving note of appreciation. The
Dutchmen seem to have keener
sense of humor than we credited them
with. They certainly put one over US
that time"

INCREASE VALUE OF
GRAIN BY GRINDING
Saves Animal the Work and En-
ergy Required to Digest Food
Materials Given 1t.

It has been proved that grinding
corn increase its feeding value about
per cent. This increase is not suf-
ficient, however, to warrant farm
er's sacking the grain and hauling it to
town or to a neighboring farm to be
ground. On the other hand, where
one already has good grinding outfit
of his own and can perform the work
at homo without extra labor grinding
may be desirable for the hard grains
such as corn, millet, kafir corn, milo
maize, wheat and barley.
The principle involved in grinding
grains is to pulverize the food mate
rials so that the digestive juices may
act more completely and also to save
the animal the work and energy re-
quired to digest and eliminate it..
Thus, grinding grains enables an ami
NAL to consume more roughage or
bulky foods. Where maximum results
are desired without regard to the cost,
grinding grains may assist one in
reaching this end.
If one wishes to force dairy cows
for high record of milk and butter
fat or obtain maximum gains with
show cattle or hogs, ground grains, al
though expensive, may be used. Old
animals, dairy COWS and hogs, and
horses that are being worked hard
sometimes make grinding profitable,
but the extra cost of preparing the
food for sheep, beef cattle and idle
horses will not pay for grinding the
ordinary grains. 1t is well to remem-
Der that feeding balanced ration to
live stock is better than any other
method of feed preparation. such as
shelling corn, grinding, soaking and
cooking grains or chatting hay.

KRUPP'S LATEST STEEL SAFE
Made Of Metal That Has Been Proved
lmPerVlous TO Burglars
Attacks.

A recent number of a Bavarian
trade organ. Handel und Industrle,
states that the Krupp works have just
turned out a steel safe that will put
all the burglars to shame. II is re-
ported that this famous Essen firm
has succeeded in making a steel Of
such resistibility that it withstands
the methods of attack and the tools
at present known to burglars. At a
melting test, steel plates with a sur
face Of 11.Sx11.S inches, and a thick
ness of 1.57 inches, we're used, which,
in the separate testings, were subject
to a different length of time to an
oxyacetylene fame. At one Of these
tests a hole of 1858 inches diameter
and 1877 inches depth was burned
into the plate, but for this not less
than 467 gallons of acetylene and 534
gallons Of oxygen were used, and the
time consumed was one and one
quarter hours. In order to produce
a hole large enough to admit the hand,
2,642 gallons of oxygen and 1878 gal
Ions of acetylene would be needed,
while the performance of this work
would require six hours. Consequent
ly it is clear that burglars will never
succeed in melting open safe made
from the new steel, because, aside
from the great outlay of time needed
for this, they could not bring with
them the great quantities of gas, since
four steel cans weighing 154 pounds
apiece would be required. The steel
plates are very hard and cannot be
bored, consequently the holes for the
screws and rivets must be made at
the start The new material does not
lose its hardness by annealing, and by
reason of its tenacity can heat to a
certain degree.

radio rakea Root In Yard.

S. s. Wiser of Reading, Pa, had
unique experience with a willow
wood table which he placed in his
yard several weeks ago. From this
experience he is convinced that the
year 1915 will bring bumper crops.
Wiser discovered a few days ago
that the table had sprouted and had
begun to bud and shoot. When he
tried to remove the piece of furniture
he found that the four legs had taken
root in the soil and the table is now
q part of the vegetation of the yard.
Should he now wish to remove the
.tablA he will have to dig.

CURING Horse HAY.

In curing horse hay it is well to
keep in mind that the dust which is
present in so much alfalfa is largely
a result of the presence of foreign
moisture such as rain or dew at max
ing time, rather than the presence of
a little moisture within the plant.
