GOOD TIME TO PRUNE TREES
Much Depends Upon Object Sought,
Age Of Trees and Convenience In
Performing the Work.

It is a fact that trees pruned in
June are more likely to set fruit than
II pruned in spring or winter; also
wounds made in June heal more
quickly than when made in early
spring. On the other hand. 1t is a
fact that most farmers and orchard
lists are too busy in June with other
work to attend to pruning; also it is
more difficult to prune in June. be-
cause the leaves cover the trees and
interfere more or less with rapid, easy
work. 1t is also a fact that no one
rule will apply to all cases.
II farmer or fruit grower wants
wood growth in young orchard or on
young shade trees, he will get it most
quickly by doing his pruning in early
spring, whereas, II he wants merely
to promote the formation of fruit buds,
he will find that June pruning is best;
so, looking at the question in a large
way, there are two best times" to
prune trees-depending upon the OBJ
ject sought, the age OF the tres and
convenience in doing the work.

EXPENSE OF RAISING HEIFER
Estimated All Way From $50 TO SIS
That Amount Will Often Purchase
Good Dairy Animal.

Is 1t cheaper to raise cows or to buy
them? Opinions vary as to the cost of
raising heifer to milking age and it
has been reckoned all the way from
$50 to SIS.
II this is correct it may be more
profitable to buy than to raise them,
for that amount OF money will often
purchase a pretty good heifer about
ready to produce milk.
1t is probable in this reckoning that
retail town prices have been charged
for everything consumed and no al.
lowance made for what was returned
to the land: also that the calf must
have been fed whole milk for long
period.
II is possible to raise calves on
cheap feed for most breeders do not
care for a heifer calf to get fat until
she has grown frame.

and owls, which are enemies of these
rodents, are continuously prosecuted.
The mice live upon roots, seeds, sue
culent vegetation and bark of young
trees, and are very destructive to
sweet potatoes and other tubers, as
well as to trees and shrubs.
The most practical method OF con-
trolling this pest is by poisoning.
Sweet potatoes cut into small pieces
have proved to be the most effective
bait. They are prepared as follows:
Sweet potato bait-Cut sweet pota-
toes into pieces about the size of large
grapes. Moisten four quarts of these
and drain off excess moisture. Slowly
sift over them one-eighth of an ounce
of powdered strychnine (alkaloid)
using pepper box or salt shaker for
the purpose, and stir constantly to dis
tribute the poison evenly.
One or two pieces of the poisoned
sweet potatoes should be dropped into
the tunnels through the natural open
ings, or through openings made with
stick. A systematic use of this
poison invariably results in an almost
complete determination of pine mice
These pests are also easily trapped, but
owing to the extra time and labor re-
quired, this method does not compare
favorably with poisoning.
