keep these varieties long past their
natural period without great loss from
rotting.
After several seasons of experiment

batting this decay, I have finally hit
upon a simple pan that has served
splenGid,y each season since, says q
writer in Baltimore American. Il is
.gimply this: When 1t is time TO pick
the late autumn varieties, q number
OF pupor-board packing boxes, such as
glass fruit Jars arc shipped in, are
securel. These boxes have pasteboard
partitions and will hold about half
pushoi OF sp9lc1. The apples are laid,
not dronped, in the boxes directly af-

Just AZ they are when taken from the

tween tiers, On the back porch, where
they have open cir without being
rained on. When freezing weather ap-
proache3 they are removed 10 the
north sido OF the attic. In this way
the fruit is kept in good condition as
lata as the new year, by which time
some OF the fruit OF winter varieties

BEST TIME TO PRuHE TREES

Killing is Past-3ometimes Dosir-

Questions are often asked about
the dssirsbility &C early winter prun-
ing OF orchard trees. Some people

Others are fearful of cutting limbs

pruning is done, the oTeet on free
growth will he the same. However,
there is & certain advantage IN delay
ing tho pruning until late winter.
There ia always danger OF certain
amount Of winter killing of twigs ar.
snallcr limbs. Pruning alter this dem
ger is over will obviate any necessity
OF pruning twice. Thea, too, where
wounds are made early in tho winter
the freezing and thawing is npt to
chec!. wood growth and TO dry the tis-
sues so that prompt healing is kim
dered and sometimes prevented.
In case trees are making too visors
ous growth, it is sometimes desir~
able to prure them in summer. How
over, summer pruning, to be elective
must take place Just after the tcrm.nas
buds have completed their growth.
This is usually during the latter parC
of June. Later pruning simply starts
new wood growth and defeats ths,
pruner's objects.
These general principles OF pruning
apply to all fruit trees of all c!aSsesi
and ages.

That is not difficult task. When
trees are dormant, or yTnen the earth

tree ct 4 distance OF from two TO three
feet, and lift o considerable bail OF
oGrth with the uninjurei roots, 10 the

soil carefully about the roots. Trees
thus moved should not be injured in

whero pear trees moved after thcy

II the earth at the point where the
t-ces are reset is rather thin, due TO
a clay subsoil, il would be wise TO
supply 2 little rich soil or welliotted
manure in the bottom of the prepared
cavity. Do not place h'e5h manure in
tho holes for trees. especially in cases
where trees ere reset after few years

have made a new record for conse-
cutivc hitess innings here to-day
when ae went into the Philadelphia
game as relief pitcher. About
two weeks ago he pitched two-third-
of an inning against Cincinnatti
withouc yielding n hit. Later be
pitched no-hit game against Pitts
burg, after that twirled two and one
third innings against New York as Il
relief pitcher without; permitting n
hit. To-day he held ihe Phillics for
three IN two-innings before a hit WAS
made rff of him, giving him a record
Of fifteen and two thirds consecutive
innings without allowing q hit. The
previous record is said to have heen
held by Harry Hedgepeth of Peters
burg. in the Virginia league, who
pitched fourteen hitless innings in
1914.

$3.50 a Week For Five
[New York Worldl ]

The Department of Health in an
official bulletin publishes the results
of tests made at the Beth Israel Hos
pital to discover system of diet of
minimum cost for a family of two
adults and three children. They
show that a family of this number
can live well and remain fully
nouTished with an expenditure for
food of slightly less than $3.50 a
week.
The sample menus given indicate
that this low cost dietary can be both
varied and appetizing. 1t includes
necessarily more farinaceous than ami
NAL food; vet the allowance of two
pounds of meat a day is liberal and
in fact comprises 81 per cent of the
entire cost. But the important thing
is that the dietary has a scientific
value and not merely a cookbook lure.
1t is balanced and selected with re-
gard to the proper proportion of pro-
tein and nutritive elements. IF we
could devise plan for insuring such
a diet to all the poor people in this
city" says Commissioner Emerson,
I'VE could materially reduce our death
rate"
That is too much to expect, nor is
it likely that those who would most
benefit from it will generally adopt
standardized diet prepared on a basis
of household economy and food eff
cheney. But 1t is a good thing to have
q diet of proved wholesomeness and
cheapness available for those who do
want it, and tho Health Department
has performed public service in pro-
viding it.

THE GERMAN SITUATION

WTE should not permit ourselves
wv to be lulled into q sense of false
security with respect 10 the
continuance of friendly relations be-
tween this country and Germany as a
result OF the recent correspondence of
the two governments regarding the
use of the submarine against mer-
chant vessels. The whole situation is
more frauGht with danger now than
ever before. We have reached a point
in the negotiations where one more
incident like that of the Sussex would
automatically cause a diplomatic
break, with all that usually follows.
The President in almost so many
words has warned Germany that the
Government of the United States
will do no more note writing, that it
has reached the end of its patience
and that it looks to the imperial gov
ernment to keep its pledge of respect
for neutral rights. A violation of that
pledge can mean but one thing.

ue of our exports as conclusive proof.
As a matter Of fact we are Just be-
ginning to be a first rate force in in
ternational trade. Before the begin
ming of the European war, a large
proportion of our exports were raw
material or partly manufactured
goods. Now, it Is a fundamental
principle of international trade that
the more highly manufactured the
goods exported, the more value they
represent to the producing nation; and
the most efficient and powerful nation
is the one which most completely
manufactures all of it's products. Thus
ton of iron ore shipped out of the
United States means that this coun-
try is being paid profit only on the
operation of mining it, and that the
far greater profit upon making it in
to machinery will be earned by an
other nation. On the other hand.
every sewing machine that we export
means that we have made every pos
sible penny of profit out of the few
pounds of material that we have put
into it.

then ii would seem to be an easy matter
to remedy the situation. Figures print
ed by an Altoona newspaper would seem
TO indicate that we are paving more for

These facts are at least ascertainable
and since the matter has been brought

assume that there will be no delay in

Back Yard Garden
tReading News-TimesI


In the old-time country village or
city suburb, nearly everyone raised
a few standard vegetables. Now the
tendency is to use the back yard for
an automobile garage, or as gen.
eral rubbish heap or playground.
Many people set out small fruits on
the theory that once planted, they
require no labor. Also they usually
provide little fruit after the neigh
borhood boys get through with them.
II is commonly remarked that
after you have paid for tools, fertil-
izer, and labor, the garden costs
more than the vegetables raised.
But it didn't formerly, when the
man of the house spaded and hoed
it for himself and paid out no cash
except a few dollars for seed and
fertilizer.
II is about as easy to raise beans
or potatoes for five families as for
one. IF neighbors are friendly and
Intimate. they can make quite saw
ing in living costs by each raising
one or two varieties, and arranging
for a general exchange.
