Good Words For Harris.
East Lincoln Way.

The following clipped from ex-
changes show what is thought
of Geo. A. Harris as candidate
for Congress in other parts of the
District.
From Lewisourg. Union County, journal
The official returns of the pri-
maries reveal something of the
standing of the respective Con-
gressional candidates. in their own
communities, which is food for
some reflection. Dick William
son carried his home town Hunt
ingdon by a majority of 373 and
his county by over $50 against
Focht. Take the result of Union,
Focht own county, and there are
figures to tell another tale. Lew
istown South Ward, the candi-
dates own district, gave him 40
votes and Williamson %.
From Perry County Democrat
The large majority Mr.. Geo.
A, Harris received in his home
county (Fulton) and in Franklin,
the home of his opponent for the
nomination, speaks louder than
words as to his popularity and
the high regard in which he is
held by those who know him
best, and is in striking contrast
to the pitiable small vote which
Focht, the Republican candidate,
received in his home county
(Union).
The large vote cast for Richard
w. Williamson, Esq, in the dis
| trict is very significant. 1t indi-
Gates that Focht is on the polite
al toboggan. Hundreds of Re-
publicans cannot vote for Focht,
knowing him and his business
transactions too well, some of
them to their sorrow. From a
Democratic standpoint the situa-
| ton looks good and the election
of Mr.. Harris is confidently pre-
dicted. Adv.

Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for tri7e less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
If cheap baking powder is used for a
fine cake and the cake turns out failure
there is waste of costly materials worth
more than whole can of the cheap bak-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results in
an actual saving.

ORCHARD
GL[ANINGS
TREE HABITS VARY GREATLY
Winter Pruning Tends to Make Wood
Growth-Summer Work May Tend
to Produce Fruit Buds.

In many cases extreme top pruning
has tendency to produce heavy wood
growth to rejuvenate the trees. Heavy
pruning may develop strong growth of
water sprouts, which indicates lack
of equilibrium or balance between the
roots and the top and often causes one
part to live at the expense Of another.
The habits of trees vary greatly; not
only In manner Of growth from youth
to old age, but there are many varia-
tons in shoot growths. Some have a
tendency to produce strong terminal
growth and when headed in form lat
erals.
Summer pruning, if done at the
proper time and moderately may tend
to produce fruit buds, while winter
pruning tends to make wood growth.
The relation of leaf and fruit buds
shows considerable differentiation and
every grower might pay more atten-
ton to the bearing buds of his trees.
With apples and pears, for example,
some varieties will be annual bearers,
while others will bear only once every
two or three years. Some produce
fruit on the end of last years terminal
growth; others on axillary buds on
last years growth; some produce from
one-year-old spurs, while others will
not produce until the spurs are several
years of age.
On trees in foliage one will gener-
ally find the new wood bearing leaves
singly while the old wood throws clus-
tiers. The new growth generally
arises from terminal or strong lateral
buds. The terminals may produce
fruit, but this generally develops from
the laterals.
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-01-12

North where low temperatures and
drying winds prevail, especially where
the snow covering is light. Certain
varieties need protection, while others
endure the same conditions without
injury. Experience will indicate which
varieties need iris
AS the canes of the blackberry are
more brittle than those of the rasp-
berry, they must be bent over with
greater care. Often in practice the
canes are bent over so that the top is
alongside the next hill, some soil
thrown over the ends of the canes in
order to hold them down, and the re-
naming parts covered by the use of
spade or by throwing a shallow fur
row over the canes with a plow. The
canes should be uncovered in spring
before the buds start, but not until af-
ter all danger of hard freezing is past
Straw and other similar materials
have sometimes been used to cover
the canes, but are unsatisfactory, as
the air circulates through them and
does not prevent winter injury
When the snowfall is heavy through
out the winter, it may cover the canes
sufficiently to afford all the protection
that is needed. Sometimes, however,
in order to be adequately protected by
the snow, the canes should be bent
over. They may be held in this posi-
ton by placing a few clods of earth
on the tips, or sometimes forked
sticks are used to pin them to the
ground. In other cases rails or poles
are placed across the canes to keep
them in reclining position. The tips,
which are the tenderest part of the
canes, should be nearest the ground
and be best protected.
Usually no pruning is given either
the raspberry or blackberry Just be-
fore or during the winter. When the
| canes are to be protected with soil,
however, all the weaker canes, as we'll
as stronger ones not needed for the
crop the following season, should be
removed. This thinning out of the
| canes will reduce the cost of covering.
In the spring if the canes of the rasp-
berry are long and are not to be sup
ported by stakes or trellis, the ends
should be cut back If cut back to a
height of feet, the canes should be
able to support their crop, keeping the
| berries out of the dirt. Sometimes
when the canes are slender it will be
| necessary to cut them back to 2h
feet in length. The side branches of
the biackberries are usually pruned
back in early spring. The length at
which the lateral branches should be
left depends on the habit Of the va
riety. In some sections and with
| some varieties no pruning at this time
Is necessary, and experience in each
| locality must be the guide as to this.

CARE IS NECESSARY
when DISINFECTING
Bichloride of Mercury Is Powerful
Corrosive Poison-AppIy
With Spray Pump.

Cresol, carbolic acid, and other coal
tar products used as disinfectants
have disagreeable odor, which may
readily be absorbed by milk and other
dairy products. 1t is, therefore, some
times inadvisable to use them, and in
such cases bichloride of mercury may
be substituted. This should be used
in the proportion of l to 500, or l
pound of bichloride to 100 gallons of
water.
Where bichloride is used, however,
all portions Of the stable which have
become soiled with manure should
first be thoroughly scraped and
cleaned, as the albumin contained in
manure greatly diminishes the disin-
fecting power of the mercury.
Bichloride of mercury is also a pow
erful corrosive poison, and it's use
should always be supervised by a
veterinarian or some other person ex-
perienced in the handling of poison
Gus drugs. The bichloride solution
should be applied with a spray pump
like the cresol solution. All managers
and feed boxes which have been
sprayed should be allowed to dry and
then be washed out with hot water.
Care in this respect is important, for
cattle are especially susceptible to
mercurial poisoning.
