able, he contends. Watermelons have
been raised profitably without appar-
emit injury to the growing trees.
After the trees become well grown
and approach the. age of profitable
bearing they should not be forced to
compete with other crops for plant
food and moisture. In such an orchard,
where the danger from washing is not
great, system Of clean cultivation
usually will be found most successful.
This will include light blowing or disk
ing in the early spring. This treat
ment aerates the soil, increases the
supply Of available plant food, makes
possible the absorption of large
amount of spring rain water, besides
furnishing a more favorable medium
for the developments of the young
roots.
Keep Weeds Down.
This should be followed by a har-
rowing or cultivation to keep down
weeds, to conserve moisture, and to
aid in the plant development. 1t is not
necessary to cultivate up to the trunks
of the trees, since the most extensive
feeding roots Of tree are at some
distance from the trunk.
An extension disk or harrow that
will allow the operator to stir up the
soil under the ends Of the spreading
branches will secure the best results
with the least possible injury. This
cultivation should not be carried on
after the middle of June since at that
time the normal wood development of
the tree should have been completed
and the formation of fruit buds should
be encouraged rather than wood pro-
duction.
A tree that is forced to produce a
large wood growth late in the summer
will not set full crop of fruit buds,
since the heavy fruit and wood produc-
| ton rarely comedies, points out Mr..
Merrill.
A system of clean cultivation, IL
practiced continually, may result in
lowering the amount of humus In the
soil. For this reason it is sometimes
necessary to plant cover crop in the
fall that is to be turned under in the
spring or to apply large quantity Of
barnyard manure in the fall or spring.
The first method is to be preferred on
the hillside localities or where there
Is probability of blowing or wash
ing of the soil during the winter
months.

Bureau Scarf Design.

The treatment OF flying bird in a
new bureau scarf suggests possibili-
ties for other pieces of needlework.
The scarf is worked in blue and so Is
the bird. The entire outline of the
bird Is made of small eyelets varying
In size with the outline of the various
parts of its body. The entire bird is
then filed In with even running
stitches of the blue. This combination
gives the effect Of solid work, but with
the exception OF the eyelets Ii not

WISCONSIN. THURSDAY.
o, Death Untimcly T!

The sad news of the death of Mrs
Freeman Shepard was transmitted by
Iwire from Aberdeen, S. Dakota, to oui
lefty last Wednesday, May 81. The
oocy, accompanied by her husband. lit
tie son and daughter. arrived here Fri
day and were rested at the home OF
Mr., and Mrs. S. E. Shepard, parents OF
| the bereaved husband, from where the
funeral took place Saturday afternoon,
Rev. F. 2. 0. Reed officiating. There
was large attendance of sympathetic
friends and neighhors, the Eastern Star
being present in body and officiating
at Ghe grave.
| Mrs. Shepard's maiden name was
Lottie Ray, and was OF this city from
childhood. She was born February H.,
1883, and was united in marriage to Mr..
Freeman Shepard fourteen years ago
/ the 18th of this month. They were
blessed with son and daughter, the
former now about ~ and the latter 10
years of age.
For some few years Mrs. Shepard
had been in failing health. She made
q brave battle for life and her loving
ones employed urtiringly every means
and sacrifice, fortified by persistent
hope, that her life might be spared.
1t was year ago this month the FAM
| lily moved to Aberdeen with the thought
that the climate change would prove
beneficial to her.
1t is viewed by the writer as an I'M
timely death. Mrs. Shepard's earthly
career ended before life's morning
touches noon and when the shadows
still fall toward the west. But what
. comfort to those who mourn this ir-
reparable loss to know, and to realize
that others know, that her existence,
brief as it was, was one of aifability,
sunshine and faithfuness; qualities
that drew and held friends. Her life
is a splendid standard and if followed
more closely by Others the world will
move on in Improvement.
Mrs. Shepard parents have preceded
her to that realm from whence no trav-
elei returns. Besides husband and
children sheis survived by one brother,
