Dead limbs take a great deal of wa
ter from growing apple trees. They
are in the way at gathering time and
make the whole crop look diseased. If
caused by canker, the disease will
spread to other parts of the orchard.
Prune them out now and paint the
wounds.
Water sprouts and surplus limbs

know it will take less work to make
crops on it for number of years
than If all that weed seed had not been
harvested. If you still have that weed
crop to harvest, you will have to
hurry. Weed seed is getting nearer
ripe every day. The hot, dry weather
has hurried ripening instead Of belat-
ing it. Bur pulling time is coming
and the horse weeds in the fence rows
are getting harder for the mower or
scythe to handle, but there is some
consolation in the thought that there
is still time to do a great deal of good
and that too early moving might have
let the weeds come up and make an
other crop of seed.

Asks for "Movie" Censor.

The Madrid Society for the Study of
Penitentiaries and Upbuilding Of De-
linquents has petitioned the Spanish
government to create a censorship Of
moving picture films, as it declares
that a number of the criminal often
ses committed nowadays by the youth
of the Spanish capital are directly
traceable to the portrayal of crime in
moving picture dramas.

Have you moved those weeds?
Then your farm is worth more and
you are better neighbor and a bet
ter citizen than if you had not. Every
one thinks more of the farmer and
farm if he sees the weeds neatly
moved as he drives along a we'll
dragged road. AS he passes the end
of the line fence he sees a fence row,
not weed row, and the same is true
Of the cross fence.
Does this describe your farm? Then
rabbit shooting may not be SO good on
it next winter, but buyers will offer
you more an acre on it because they

Sheep Thrive on Attention.

Sheep will thrive on a short bite,
but don't let the bite get too short.
A change from one pasture to another
is the best idea. Change often enough
to keep the bite fresh. Sheep love at

them.
