Work May Be Done at Any Time
During Year, but Is Best While
Trees Are Dormant.

Pruning may be done at any time
of the year." according to A. j.
Gunderson of the division of polmo-
logy, University Of Illinois. ut can
best be done, however, while the trees
are dormant, for more time is then
available, and in the absence of foliage
it is easier to tell what branches
should be removed"
F'irst-Remove all dead. diseased or
broken limbs.
Second-Cut out the water sprouts.
Third - Remove those branches
which cross or interfere with each
other.
Fourth Cut back any leader
branches that may be making an over
vigorous growth. In doing so do not
leave straight stugs, but cut back to a
side branch. This will improve the
shape of the top and make spraying
and picking easier.
Fifth-Do not overprune by cutting
out too large branches and thereby
suddenly open up the top to exposure
scald. Instead, thin out the top uni
formly by removing the smaller
branches of about one-half inch diam
eter.
Sixth-Do part of the pruning this
year, and the balance next year, espe-
cially where no pruning has been done
before.
Seventh-Be careful of the fruit
spurs. These are the parts Of the
tree which bear apples. II broken off
they never can bear again.
The method of cutting when prun-
ing apple trees is very important. The
best advice is to cut every branch
whether large or small, as close as pos
sible to the part from which 1t is
taken. Never leave stubs, for stubs
will not permit the healing over of the
wounds, but may induce decay. Make
all cuts smooth and close.

CHAPTER XIII.
Dreams.

There were dreams on the great
pateau-unreai shapes which took
their airy substance from the stars
and from the white translucency of the
Arabian night Richard Farquhar saw
them distinctly. In the first hours of
twilight he had believed them the pig
ments of his own pulsing, fever-driyen
brain. And he had rolled over, hiding
his face against the hard soil, and had
bitten his lips bloody.
The melancholy hour between life
and death was over. and slowly. with
all the mysterious majesty Of the East.
night led out her shining mynads from
the darkness into the waiting solitudes.
Only the sentinel of the hour stood out
as something living, tall rigid shadow
magnified by the silver ghostly light OF
the stars.
The sentry had turned and became
suddenly an immense shadow. The
shadow bent over him and whispered:
"Are you awake, comrade"
"Yes, of course I am awake" he
said.
"How are you? Are you in great
pain? Perhaps could loosen the cord

Madagascar, and in the morning he

Farquhar turned his head away.
Hitherto he had not been conscious of
pain; now he knew it had been there
throughout, at the back of his con-
sciousness-a white-hot soaring Of his
muscles, a frfghtful crushing weight,
hand that seemed to hold him by the
throat, choking the breath from him.

Eor Pleasure. and War.

As an indirect result of the valu-
able, service rendered by power boats
during the conflict abroad, some little
attention has been aroused in this
country to the advisability of organic
ing "mosquito feet" for mine patrol
and scouting duties. A plan contem-
plating the registration of all pleasure
craft of this kind. so that they might
be available for service in an event OF
war, has even been proposed. OF late,
however, another step has been taken
In this direction which is particularly
significant and interesting. According
to Popular Mechanics Magazine, sew
eral Fasteners are having scout
boats" built for their private use.
These have been designed by naval
architects, and are not merely suit
able, but in part equipped, for naval
purposes, and would be practically
ready for immediate use if necessity
should ever require that they be
turned over to the navy department.

Why Called "BIoodhound.n

AS regards the name bloodhound,
Count LIE Couteulx believes that when
fox hunting in something like its pres
ent form was instituted it was found
that the sleuth-hound was not fast
enough for the purpose, and the pres
ent foxhound was evolved from various
material, and about this time 1t be-
came usual, In speaking Of the old
hound of the country, to call him
bloodhound, meaning the hound of
pure blood (as might be said of
blooded horse) to distinguish him
from the new hound or foxhound.
There is only one breed of pure, gen.
uine bloodhounds, and that is the Eng
lish.
