GUIDING THE WOODNAN'S SAW
Arrangement Enables One Man to Do
Work Formerly Requiring Two
Persons-Easy to Adjust.

The saw guide shown herewith is
the invention of a lumber camp man
from the far Northwest, but it will
be found of great value to the anna
teur or professional woodsman of any
part of the country. The big two
man saw" is in more or less frequent
use about any farm or suburban place,
and in bringing down a tree trunk
it would greatly facilitate the task If
it were not for certain limitations.
For instance, it will go through an
ordinary tree trunk much more rap
idly than an ak, but on account of the
upright position Of the tree 1t is diff
cult to guide the saw through the
wood in making a level cut. The serv-
ices Of two men are necessary, one
at either end of the saw, which is an
other drawback. This guide, which
has been patented, enables one man
to do the work. The guide not only

GUARD AGAINST LATE FR0STS
Cheap and Effective Measures Ought
to Be Adopted by Every Farmer
to Protect His Trees.

There are cheap and effective meth
DDS of combating late frosts, so far as
orchards are concerned, and they
ought to be adopted by every farmer.
The smudge fire is as cheap and re-
liable a means as may be needed, or
one may go to the expense of provid-
ing metal heaters if profitable crop
is expected.
A half dozen smudge fires for an
acre orchard, or for each acre, will
probably be sufficient. This is merely
a matter of a few hours work through
the last two or three frosty nights of
spring.
When we consider that an acre of
fruit is worth from 5000 to $500, the
trouble of keeping up few little fires
around the orchard for six or eight
hours seems trif1ing.

PRUNING FOR BETTER FRUIT
Easily Reached From Ground
Begin at Top.

In pruning apple trees, it is well to
avoid the common practice of cutting
off all the branches easily reached
from the ground, and leaving the tree
looking like large feather duster.
Begin at the top and thin out branches
which shade the center Of the tree too
much, writes T. w. Faurot in Farm
ers' Mail and Breeze. If the tops are
too high, lower them moderately and
gradually so as not to disturb the bal
ance between top and roots. If the
root system has been developed to
take care of q large top and much Of
this is suddenly removed, the roots
will send up SO much more material
than the remaining top can use that
there will be- big growth of water
sprouts. Most people remove too lit
tie instead of too much Of the top,
but it is often necessary to distribute
the work over two years and some
times over three years.
Trees planted too thickly may need
thinning, but if the branches of neigh
boring trees overlap, the level ones
may be cut back to some upright
branch. Always prune close to the
trunk or main branch, and never leave
a stub to carry decay into the tree.
Paint all cut surfaces with white lead
and raw oil. Cut out blister canker
completely, and disinfect the pruning
tools in a mixture OF corrosive SUBJ

On the Watch.

There is a species Of sentry groups
employed near the trenches. They are
called listening patrols" and their du-

give timely warning of any attempted

stationed on an empty farm asked:

The reply was: "Listenin' patrol,
