dead limbs.
Trees in this condition should not
be pruned al liz one year. The first
year remove the suckers. and all of
the dead wood and the most objec-
tionable crossing branches. The Sec
ond season more of the unnecessary
crossing branches may be cut out.
After this light pruning each year
will do,
Prune regularly. not spasmodical-
ly:
Head in young trees, thin out old
trees.
Prune during the dormant season.
Prune close, do not leave stubs.
Paint all large wounds.
Keep the tree free from suckers.
Do not allow stock to prune your
trees.
Water sprouts are the result VI
too heavy pruning.
An axe or Ratchet is not a pruning
tool.
Unpruned. unsprayed and unculti-
waited orchards are not money makers,
The orchard is not a profitable
source of firewood.
In pruning grapes, remember that
the fruit grows on the new wood of
the present seasons growth, which
springs from wood grown the pre-
ceding season. Wood that bore last
season will not bear again. For this
reason grapes should be cut back
very severely in order to stimulate
plenty of new healthy good growth.
The fruit is borne near the base and
ordinarily one shoot should not be
allowed to produce over four clust-
ers. j. III. CAkMODf,

SPRING IS COMING
Now Is The Time to Prune
Fruit Trees and Vines.

At this season of the year II be-
comes imperative that the man who
intends to produce fruit of even fair
quality and in reasonable quantity
or in abundance turn his attention to
the correct pruning and spraying
of his trees or vines. In view of
his fact it is thought seasonable to
offer a few suggestions on pruning.
WHY WE PRUNE.
1. To modify the vigor Of the
plant.
2. To produce fruit that will be
larger and better.
8. To keep the tree in proper and
convenient shape.
a. To change the habit of the tree,
5. To remove superfuous or in
jured parts.
6. To facilitate spraying and
harvesting.
Z. To train the tree in some de-
sired form.
PRUNING FRUIT TREES.
Pruning is a necessity where
good fruit is desired. An unpruned
tree can never be expected to Pro-
duce fruit of high quality. With the
best titled trees if we cease pruning
for few years the fruit has a ten
dency to grow smaller, and loses its
color and flavor because the air and
sunlight cannot pass through the
thick branches.
Many old orchards have been neg
lected for some time and as a result

oossoN GETS FIRST LICENSE
County Auditor Takes Advantage o.
Position to Gain Honor.

The first hunting license OF the year
1915-16 is owned by County Auditor
A. w. Dobson. Taking advantage OF
his position, and the fact that no one
could beat him to it," Mr.. Dobson
made out the first license in his own
name.
While the auditor does not care par
ticularly whether he sells the usua!
quota OF hunting licenses now or later
he would be pleased II the hunting
public would take out licenses now
rather than wait until the fall season
begins. Now Is the dull season In the
auditors Office, while in the fall the
different classes Of work begin to ac-
cumulate and the heavy demand ior
licenses adds just that much to the Of

SUITABLE FOR FLESHY MAID
Many Fabrics Especially Adapted to
fterj and Some She Should 30
Careful to Avoid.

The girl who is too feshy should
never wear shiny stuffs such as satin.
They catch the light on the curve Of
your figure and make you look much
stouter than you really are. Soft dull
stuffs are the right things for you.
Never wear blouse of one stuff and
the skirt of another, but always have
whole dresses or costumes. A contrast.
ing vest collar or front on a dark
dress is quite allowable.
Wear stripes or plain stuffs rather
than checks or Powered patterns
Don't have a contrasting belt-it cuts
you in two and. by taking away your
height, increases your apparent width.
Wear becoming collars. High ones
are very uilbecoming to thick throat
and. besides, you are nearly sure to
ha' a pretty neck-most stout people
have-so you may as we'll show it.
Let your indoor skirts touch the
ground always. Have them made
close-fitting on the hips with a good
flare out at the foot. A skirt which
draws in round the feet always in.
creases the apparent size 81 the hips.

The Swede knew that he was in
competent, but he needed the Job very
badly indeed. The farmer saw at a
glance that he was a green hand. but
he was urgently in need of help.
So an arrangement was made. After
dinner the farmer sent his new hand
down to plow a field, and few mo-
ments later followed him. Peering
from the concealment of a clump Of
bushes, he observed for some time the
frantic but futile efforts of his hand
to run straight furrow. Finally the
Swede came to discouraged halt,
mopped his brow and addressed the
horses YEARLY.

please" he said. 1T all ban got to be
