given decision sustaining the one

strong approval of progressively
minded citizens. The following sen
tences are worth quoting: I'VE have
no power of decision of the question
whether it is the wisest and best way
to Offset these conditions and to give
employees the protection which they
need. even II we had any doubt on
that subject. Our only inquiry must
be whether the provision on its face
seems reasonable. fair and appropri-
ate. and whether 1t can fairly be be-
lieyed that its natural consequences
will be in the direction Of the better
ment of public health and welfare,
and therefore that 1t is one which the
state for its protection and advantage
may enact and enforce" Eve

A few simple directions on the prun-
| ing of fruit trees will undoubtedly
prove useful to those who are not ex-
| perts at the work. This article deals
solely with the winter pruning of ap-
| pies, pears and plums. The chief OBJ
iects of pruning are Cd to let light
and air into the trees and bushes;
| (2) to induce the formation of we'll
| shaped trees and to furnish them with
| fruitful wood.
The remark is often heard that an
| amateur cannot prune his own trees,
and there is great deal of truth in
| it, for, generally speaking, he is much
too tender-hearted to cut his trees to
anything like sufficient extent
Neglect in this direction invariably
leads to the overcrowding of branches,
resulting in a thicket of growth and
very poor fruit; and when once
tree has reached this stage it may
take years to bring it back to fruit
full condition. The great point always
to have before one in pruning is to
avoid overcrowding. With standard,
half-standard and bush trees it is i'm
perative that the centers of the trees
should be kept open and all branches
which are inclined to grow towards
the center of the tree should be cut
clean out to the base. 1t so often hap
pens that tree may be vastly i'm
!, proved by the removal Of a large
branch in the center.
1t would DE impossible to emphasize
too strongly the Importance of using
really sharp, strong pruning knife.
Apart from the inconvenience Of
poor knife, it should always be re-
membered that clean cut will heal
much quicker than a jagged one, and
this is matter of vital Importance,
since the worst disease to which fruit
trees are heir, viz, canker, can only
enter the tree by way of a wound
when the inner tissue of the tree is
left exposed to the air. For this rea-
son it is advisable after removing
large branches to cover the newly cut
surfaces with tar or white paint.
While the knife is unquestionably the
best instrument for pruning, a good
pair of shears has it's advantages, par
ticularly in the hands of the inexpeTi-
enced knifesman, for with shears, so
long as the wood is not unduly
pinched, the work will proceed more
easily, at greater pace, and with less
likelihood of causing injury either to
the tree or to the operator. There are
a few hard and fast rules in pruning
that should always be borne in mind

HOW TO ERADICATE
INJURIOUS INSECT
Strong Spray of Arsenate of
Lead viii Prove Effective in
Controlling CurCuIio.

The plum curculio winters in the
adult stage, emerging in the spring
just as the fruit budl begin to swell,
says Prof. j. G. Sanders, head of the
economic entomology department of
the College Of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Immediately. it
begins to feed on the young foliage
with a strong spray Of lead arsenate,
as this is the only stage at which an
arsenical poison is effective in con-
trolling the pest.
The curculio is distinguished from
the plum gouger in that it never pene-
trates the fruit stone. The female
curculio deposits her eggs in crescent
shaped cuts, which she makes on the
surface of the fruit Seven to ten
days later the larvae emerge and
about two weeks after this they leave
the fruit, crawl into the ground,
where they spin cocoon and pupate.
In this stage of the life cycle the in
sect can be killed by intensive culti-
ton of the orchard.
Where labor is cheap the Earring
method of control is advantageously
practiced This system involves the
use Of a canvas, held about waist high
under the tree, while the tree is Jared
with padded pole, the curculios fall
ing off upon the canvas, where they
can be sorted out and destroyed Any

method should be liberated, as they
are beneficial parasites which destroy
injurious fruit insects.

Dress Frock.

sired, pockets, also of plaid, will be
very useful and fashionable. This
plaid may be either of wool or silk,
and silk looks prettier and more dres-
sy. On the other hand, when cleaning
is considered, wool trimming win be
more practical than silk. If stripe
or plaid is chosen for the dress, then
the trimming should be of plain mate
rial or of braiGs.
Now that fitted guimpes and stock
collars have returned to vogue. frocks
# this sort are worn with neat stock
Of net or lace. 1t is not wise to
make collars of any but diaphanous
materials, as the skin of the neck be-
comes ruined if thick collars are worn,
and a tight collar is bad for the eye
sight and the health generally. This
dress may be worn either with or
without a collar around the throat
In making a dress of this sort for
outdoor wear it must be remembered
that sport clothes" are the very la
test thing and these are all short. An
outdoor dress is made barely to reach
the tops of the high shoes that are
now in vogue, and some do not reach
that far Dresses as short as that do
lot look nice except on young girls
Practically all outdoor sport skirts are
trimmed around the bottom. especial

EFFECTIVE PRUNING
IN FRUIT ORCHARDS
All Dead Wood Should Not Only
Be Cut Off, but Burned-Re-
move Crooked Branches.

On account of the rush during other
seasons Of the year the winter months
form a good time in which to prune
orchard trees. The Nebraska College
Of Agriculture says that all dead wood
should not only be cut Off, but be
burned.
Cross branches should be cut off and
the tops of the fruit trees thinned out
SO that the sun can reach every part
OF the tree some time during the day.
The little crooked branches should
not be removed, as these are the fruit
spurs.
On account Of the prevalence of
disease it is we'll to disinfect all
wounds, as well as the pruning tools.
Be careful not to leave any stubs.

Health and Beauty.

Do not neglect to brush and comb
the hair and massage the scalp merely
to save "a curl or wave.
An iron that is heated to the right
degree may not iniure the hair. The
use of kids is always safe, although
the process OF curling or waving takes
more time.
People who are run down are par
ticularly subject to chilblains, in cold
weather, so it is essential to keep fit.
Have a tonic made up if you feel be-
low par. Eat good, nCurishing food
Warm underclothing is an essential
to health. Sufferers from chilblains
on the feet have found the wearing of
good cotton stockings, as opposed to
WOODEN, most beneficial, especially if
they have to do great deal Of walk
