BEST CROPS IN AN ORCHARD
Considerable Number of the More
Progressive Fruit Men Are Civ
ing Up the Practice.

Most farmers grow some crops be-
tween the trees for few years at
east. Potatoes, beans, cabbage and
corn are used extensively. The tree
rows are kept thoroughly cultivated.
It is not uncommon to see a hay crop
between the rows, but it is an unusual
sight to see a young orchard planted
and kept for any time within the sod.
A good many of the more progress
sive fruit men, who have kept rec
,rds of expenses and sales on these
various crops interplanted, have come
to doubt the ACCESSIBILITY of growing
field crops in an orchard, and unless
it is necessary for financial reasons,
considerable number are giving up
the practice and simply keep all the
soil between the rows thoroughly Gull
!ivated except while cover crops are
growing.

MEAL-TtME CONSCIENCE.
What Do the Children DRINK

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps it is some rich dessert
but more often 1t is tea or coffee.
1t is better to have some delicious,
hot fooddrink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that it will help and strength
en-, but meyer hurt them
A Yorkstate lady says: Il used
coffee many years in spite of the con-
viction that it injured my nervous sys-
tenn and produced my nervous head
aches. While visiting friend ] was
served with Postum and determined
to get a package and try it myself.
The result was all that could be de-
sired-a delicious, finely favored, rich
ly colored beverage Since quit COT
fee, Postum has worked wonders for
me-
my husband, who had suffered from
kidney trouble when drinking coffee,
quit the coffee ard took up Postum
with ME and since drinking Postum he
has felt stronger and better, with no
indication of kidney trouble.
"You may be sure I find It a great
comfort to have a warm drink at
meals that I can give my children,
with clear conscience that it will
help and not hurt them as coffee or
tea would"

PRUNING IN SUMMER SEASON
Work Must Be Done After Terminal
Buds Have Set-Interlocking
Branches Should Go.
(By W. c. EDMUNDsoN, Idaho Ex-

(By w. G. EDMUNDSON, Idaho Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Nearly every fruit grower has his
own particular plan or ideal for shap-
ing his trees. The same type of tree
is not grown by all orchardists. and
should not be, since each type is es-
pecially adapted for certain condi-
lions.
Most orchard men practice winter
pruning, as winter is the time to
prune to shape the tree. If heavy
pruning is done it can be accom-
plished in the early spring or dor
mant season with the least injury to
the tree. Summer and winter prun-
ing have their particular advantages.
I wish to take up one point in con-
nection with summer pruning and that
is the pruning of bearing trees for in
creased color.
In some fruit-growing sections the
apples do not take on sufficient color
to make extra fancy fruit. We have
found that under such conditions by
practicing summer pruning we can in
crease the color from 20 to 40 per
cent.
Summer pruning cannot be done any
time the grower happens to have time
to do the work, but must be done at
definite time. That time is after the
terminal buds have set.
At this time the trees have stopped
orowth fO,, tha season and the wood
begins to ripen up for winter. If
pruned earlier the trees will send out
a new growth after forming a rosette
at each cut, and this late growth will
often winter kill.
Summer pruning should not remove
the heavy branches but should take
out the interlocking branches and
about one-half the present seasons
growth. This opens up the tree and
admits the sunlight at the ripening
period.

Horse Disliked Cigarettes.

A sensitive horse who has q dislike

Akers. aged twenty-five. and bit him
on the right hand. Akers was smok-

Theophlus Had Good Reason for Civ

ened With Awful Disaster.
Grand Rapids. Mich.

A southern man tells of darby

"the champion banjo player Of Ala
bama"
Wishing to afford a northern friend
an example of real darby music, a
Mobile woman went to Bakers house,
with view to enlisting his services
at musical function. She found his
wife instead.
Very sorry, missy" said Baxter's
spouse, "but Theophilus he amt play
in de banjo any more. He jest puts
in all his time fishin' now"
What led him to give up his play
nigga asked the disappointed caller.
Has he got religion?'
"Noy missy, he amt got religion,
bnt he's done got skeered."
Scared? OF what?'
"Of dat minstrel show, honey. De
boss learns dat my ole man kin play,
AN he offers him stiddy job dom it.
Yassum, an it skeered Theophilus so
bad dat he quit banjo playin' right
away. "-Philadelphia Ledger
