HOW TO PRUNE FRUIT TREES
Trimming During Dormant Seasons
Tends to Wood Production-Sum.
mer Pruning Is Exhaustins.

Heavy top pruning increases the
woody growth Of trees. 1t may invig
crate weak trees. 1t tends to lessen
fruit production or even check it alto
gether. 1t induces the production OF
water sprouts, Which are practically
parasites as far as the welfare of the
tree is concerned.
Prune weak trees relatively heavier
than strong growing ones. Prune every
year, removing small amounts of wood,
rather than removing the same aggre'
gate at longer intervals. Remove wa
ter sprouts as fast as they appear.
Root pruning lessons wood produc.
tion and is sometimes practical in case
of a tree which refuses to bear fruit.
The scientific principle involved is
that vegetable growth Is checked and,
as is the tendency in all growing

Feather Duster Brooder.

It's handle off, writes William T. Miller
of Roslindale, Mass, in Popular Me-
chanics. This makes an excellent sub
stitute for the feathers of the hen.
Some finely cut hay, or sand, is placed
beneath so as to bring the level up
sufficiently for the chicks to run
among the feathers. For ventilation,
bore some holes in the sides Of the
box near the top and cut small open
ing for an entrance. For convenience
in cleaning, the cover should be
hinged.

FEATHER BUSTER AS BROODER
Feathers Arc Arranged In Center Of

A very effective brooder can be
made of an old feather buster hung
in box so that the tips Of the feath-
ers will come close to the bottom. The
brooder consists of wood box about
one foot high. This cover Is removed,
and hole cut in the center to receive

 As you will see, the ingredients for both the recipes I give are easily pro- curable in your own town. with perhaps the exception of the "chillies.' As these are nothing more or less than ripe red peppers, you may buy these in your mar ket or get them dried at the grocers.

Cut steak into small pieces. Put into frying pan with hot dripping, hot water, and rice. Cover closely and cook steadily until tender. Remove seeds and part of rind from red peppers. Cover with chilli water, add garlic and thyme; simmer until cold, then squeeze them in the hand until the water is thick and red; if not thick enough.

Birmingham Folk Will Attend
 Opera

LUST the little taste of grand opera
 that Birmingham was given during A< the midwinter season has since created an appetite for real opera and many of the fashionable set are planning to attend the grand opera season in AL lanta during Easter week. With only seven more shopping days for her opera costumes milady is in quite a rush and in spite of the scarcity of social events for this last week of Lent, one that is always quieter than all others, she will be very busy with her shopping and plenning of opera toilettes.
 Polly Peachtree says:
 'sThe tale of social affairs has been told so often, surely there is no need at this late day to recount the many events for opera week. As for the list of visitors, that has grown too long for my arm to measure. Yet every day l hear of new names which will add in- terest to the story Among those pres ent."
 MT. and Mrs. George Corners of Bir- mingham, former Atlantans, are coming for the entire week, and MT. and Mrs. Richard Massey will be interesting Bir- mingham visitors. From Anniston will come Mrs. Kilby and her charming daughter. Anne.
 "I am sorry to tell you that "The King of Nowhere" is so busily engaged in amusing, the New York public we shall not have a chance to see Miss Farrar's husband this season.
