Thinning the Fruit.

Thinning is an operation that
has been practiced to only a very
limited extent in Missouri. An
occasional man has thinned a
few trees, more as a matter OF
curious inquiry than as a defin-
lite orchard practice, Where the
operation has to any degree been
carefully performed the results
have been outstanding and the
Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment station finds that it pays
well.
Those varities which tend US
ually to over-bear and produce
under sized fruit may be thinn-
ed to a profitable advantage.
The size and quality Of such
varieties as Winesap, Missouri
.Pippin, Rails, and Ingram can
almost always be improved by
careful thinning and it will Of
ten pay to thin such varieties
as Jonathan, Grimes or York.
How to Thin.
The quality of well-grown
fruit is always superior to that
which is small and poorly devel.
oped. If the crop is evenly dis
tributed throughout the tree
perhaps four to eight inches, &C
cording to size of variety, is {
good distance between fruits
Leave only one fruit on a spur
If two are left, both will b,
wormy. On trees with a heav!
set of fruit, thinning all tn,
fruit from part of the spur.
tends to cause such spurs to de
velop fruit buds for the mex
years crop, thereby encourag
ing regular bearing. The earle
the work is done the less drail
there is on the vigor of the tree
Surplus fruit can be handled a
less expense by thinning tina.
by running it over a sortin.

KNEW NO SUCH WORD AS FAIL
AtchIson Man Has Many Prototypes
Who Live Always In the Golden
Land Of Hope.

An Atchison Failure died lately
and did not know he was a failure.
For him there was a pot of gold at
the end Of the rainbow, and he al
ways expected to reach it. He began
life with high ambitions. He really
expected to be president, but every
time he ran for Office he was defeat
ed. Then he went into business. He
got out at a loss and began making
investments. They never turned
out well, but he could always see
something ahead which was to make
him rich.
He lived in a world of promise,
and died the other day at the home
of a married son. He was penniless,
and for years had been dependent,
but he slipped into the unknown
world a happy man; he believed he
was going to walk through pearly
gates, on golden streets, and that
those whom he had loved in this
world would be awaiting him there
playing harps, and with jewelet
crowns upon their brows.
For the Failure there was no sucl
word as fail.-Atchison Globe.
