Who Is the Boss7

The superintendent of a big depart
ment store in Boston conducts a school
of salesmanship in his establishment,
and one of the first questions he puts
to his class of beginners is: "Who is
the bossT 'h
After salesman pupils have guessed
every official about the establishment,
the superintendent explains. mo. no,
no; he is not the boss. The real boss
in this store is the customer. It's the
customer that you and 1 are here to
please. It's the customer who pays
your wages and mine. Now. If you are
sitting behind your counter, doing
nothing, and you see me coming. don't
jump up; but IL you see the customer
the boss-coming. jump! That al
ways makes n deep Impression"
The lesson is good one to mem

FOR SPRAYING APPLE TREES
Best Formula 10 Concentrated Lime
sulphur-AppIy for codIino Moth
About August First.

{ The best formulas for spraying ap-
pie trees and any other fruit trees ex-
cept the peach, is concentrated lime
sulphur at the strength of one to forty
for apples and one to fifty for the other
fruits, and two, and half pounds of
arsenate Of lead. The first spraying
should be made just as the pink of the
blossom shows. This should be fol-
lowed by another application as the
blossom petals are dropping. In about
two weeks the trees should be sprayed
again, and winter varieties of apples
should have another application for
the second brood of codling moth
about the first of August.
All fruit trees except the peach
should receive the first three applica-
tions. Plums should receive spray
ing after that at intervals of two
weeks, until within about month Of
ripening time. No fruit should be
sprayed within month Of ripening
time, because sufficient time should be
allowed for the removal of all traces
Of the spray material by the weather
before the fruit is harvested.

FLOWER HINTS FOR BEGINNER
BY e. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Flowers should have q friable, very
fertile soil in which to grow. Often
they will make a fine showing in very
poor soil, but like humans they ap-
preciate good care. ,
Do not allow the flowers to form
seeds. As soon as the flowers begin
to fade, pinch them OF; your flowers
will keep in bloom much longer and
the blooms will be larger II you pay
attention to this little detail. Pansies
and sweet peas particularly require
looking after.
Use your flowers in borders and
around the sides of your lawn. Never
make flower beds in the center of
your lawn. A bit Of green turf well
cared for IL an asset to any home
grounds. -
II you want soft. thick turf on
your lawn NOW 1t often and let the
clippings lie where they fall. This
keeps the soil from drying out too
much and helps fertilize 1t as It de-
Gays.
Support sweet peas ON hedge of
brush. This is better than poultry
netting, as the sun does not heat 1t
and burn the tender tendrils Of the
clinging sweet pea.
Plant your shade trees far enough
away from the house to allow the air
to circulate around the house. Sun
shine in the home is a tonic and care
should be exercised when planting
that trees do not interfere or shade the
windows too much.
DO not plant your flowers too close
together. Give them all q chance for
Cheyenne record., 1916-07-06

order. II not, do SO, for the sake OF
the comfort OF your family. II the
things have real value shut them
away for a time at least and they
will be all the more appreciated when
brought out again.
Emerson says, "a lady fs serene,
doctors tell us that hurry like worry
is death to good looks and an enemy
to health as well. The people who
accomplish the most in the world are
those who plan their work well and
serenely accomplish it. Did you ever
time yourself on a certain piece OF
work: for example the making and
frying of a rule Of doughnuts? If SO
you will know the time needed and
will know what to plan for. OF
course, there are always the unex-
pected Interruptions which we can
not plan on, but it is wise to know
the length of time 1t takes to do GER
tain pieces of work. If mistresses
had better understanding of these
things there would be more peace and
harmony in the household. A maid
who had two weeks washing under
way should not be asked to prepare
a dinner for invited guests. 1t is such
inconsiderate women who are helping
to keep the servant problem still un-
solved. and are always looking for a
servant. II one is possessed with the
precious power of concentration. use
an alarm clock and set it at the time
that the dinner is to be started or the
bread put into or taken out Of the
oven It takes but an instant to pro-
vide this security and it SO relieves
the mind that the, whole attention
may be put upon what ever work is
at hand.
Tapioca baked with sour apples and
served with sugar and cream is an
other simple and wholesome dessert.
When we learn to keep our sense
of proportion, and know that, how
ever, desirable 1t may be to have the
washing out early, a sweet temper.

to be desired and vastly more appre-
ciated by the home folks.

They are easily cared for and bear
confinement well, although any fowl
must have plenty Of exercise.
For table use they are excellent.
their flesh being sweet, juicy and ten
der, making fine broilers and roasters.
They are extremely popular because
Of the absence of dark pin feathers.
As layers they average well up, both
for summer and winter production, If
some pains be taken to provide them
with comfortable quarters during in
clement weather.
To do this fairly comfortable poul-
try house is necessary. This means
one which is dry all the time and so
arranged as to admit plenty of fresh
air and sunlight. r
A house built with three sides tight
and left largely open on the south
side accomplishes this. A curtain, to
be drawn tight over the opening in
rigorous weather, will add materially
to the comfort of the poultry. This
does not exclude the fresh air, but pro-
tects against the cold.
This building can be conveniently
arranged without the cost becoming
very great, and it should be borne in
mind that convenience pays well.
Have all the interior fixtures Of the
poultry house-roosts, poles, nest
boxes, dropping boards, etc., easily re-
movable, SO that every part within
can be reached and cleaned.
Twice yearly the house should be
thoroughly fumigated and then white
washed inside and out. For this pur-
pose a whitewash containing small
per cent of carbolic acid should be
used.
All fowls are annoyed and suffer
from insect parasites. This means a
loss to the raiser and effective means
must be employed to combat these
pests, as the birds cannot do this un-
assisted. Provisions for dust bath,
any time, any day that the fowls de-
sire, will help, but in addition to this
the house and fixtures should be
sprayed vt frequent intervals with coal
oil or per cent solution of crude
carbolic acid. This spraying should be
done early in the day SO that the
fumes will have nearly all evaporated
before the fowls go to rOOst.
During the summer the wide range
afforded by the farm solves the prob
lem as to proper feeding. But in win
ter when the fowls do not have insect
diet, meat food in some form is nee

HANDLE TREES WITH CARE
ax W. r. GILBERT.

70 my mind, there is not half enough
attention paid to the way trees are
put into the hole when planting. Some
people think that because trees have
roots they should grow nearly on top
Of every ditch in the country.
For ten years planted trees yearly.
Half the trees planted the first year
failed because I didn't know how to
plant properly. said to myself there
was something wrong somewhere,
either in the trees or in my want OF
knowing how to plant.
experimented couple of years
and found out the secret of my failure.
Half of the young trees are nearly use
less for planting, on account OF the
way that they are pulled at the
nurseries.
Some men. when they 60 pulling
trees in the nurseries. pull away just
as!,though they were pulling turnips in
a hurry, slapping the roots together
and throwing them away as II they
were no more than rotten limbs.
Young trees. to my mind. should be
handled as carefully as eggs. They
should be dug out Of the ground.
When the roots are strained in the
pulling they grow the first year badly
and then die away. I examined the
roots Of a dozen young trees; there
were two strained, and cut the roots
short in two moresi for experiments
sake. - 6

The ones that were not strained
grew healthy from the start and are
growing well. The ones that were
strained grew nearly right the first
year and died the second year. and
the ones that cut a little of the roots
OF lived in decline"
The roots, when planting, should be
spread out evenly in a broad hole, not
deep, the roots Just barely covered.
Where some, or most people, perhaps,
make the mistake is in sticking the
roots in a bundle in a deep hole.
Trees planted in this fashion are
bound to fail. At least it has been my
experience. f5
Some people give the trees pull
up after planting. With this method
l don't agree. There is no need Of
any more handling.
It is important to press the roots,
secondly, say after a month, because
If the air gets down alongside the
stem the tree is liable to fall.
I have found always that the fall
was the best time for planting. When
they were put in later had more fail
ures.
Another thing noticed in planting.
II the young trees are any length OF
time pulled, they are pretty sure to
"go under"
always steep the roots in hole OF
soft water the day before planting, and
I have found them to grow and take
root more quickly than If they had not
been stepped.
