Prune the Fruit Trees.

June or early July is the time
to do summer pruning. It has
less tendency to stimulate the
growth of water sprouts than
winter pruning. AT this time
the years growth is already
made. For the remainder of the
season the trees are largely &C.
cupied in maturing the wood and
developing the fruit buds.
Wounds made during this sea-
son of the year heal better than
those made in winter.
Pruning more than any other
operation affects the size, quail
ity, and finish of the fruit, es-
pecially of those varieties which
have a tendency to over-bear. 1t
also has a tendency to regulate
bearing, especially if it is sys-
tematiOally and regularly done.
In summer pruning, thin out
some of the smaller and moder-
ate sized branches in the outer
portion of the tree. Those which
help to shade the inner portion
smother the smaller growth and
prevent the fruit from maturing
properly. In addition, pruning
generally tends to lessen the
cost and facilities the perfor-
nance of other operations such
as spraying and picking.

Keen Milk Sweet.

1t is no trick at all to keep milk
sweet in cold weather. 1t may
stay in the sun for half a day in
December without any great
damage but in June and July it
must be handled very carefully.
Whether the milk or cream is
intended for the table, the
creamery or the milk market, it
must be sweet if is to bring the
best price.
To keep milk sweet just two
simple things must be carefully
looked after: (1) it must be cool
ed as completely and as quickly
after milking as possible, and
(2) absolute cleanliness of pals.
cans, and cows must be secured.
If this is done thunder storms
will no longer sour the milk.
The warm, damp weather which
we have just before thunder
storms really does tend to cause
milk to sour if it has not been
properly cared for.
This souring takes place be-
cause little invisible plants cal
Jed bacteria get into the dirt or
by lurking in the corners and
seams Of poorly cleaned pals and
cans. The remedy is plain. Keep
the bacteria out by using seam
less pals and cans and seeing
that absolutely no dirt or dust
gets into the milk in the stable
or anywhere else.
Profits from milk will be
greatly increased by a good sup
ply and proper use of clean hot
water and an ice house or a GOOD
cold spring.

ALLER VS.. ALLER CASE
IS ON AT SIGOURNEY

Sigourney, Sept. 23.-On Thursday
an action was filed in the district court
for the October term that is attracting
more than usual attention The action
is entitled Joseph Aller ct al VS. Mary
Aller and involves the ownership of a
160 acre farm in the east part of the
county The plaintiffs are FIVE in mum.
Der an' are. the brothers and sisters
Of the defendant. They allege that
their father. Hubert Aller, who died
in April, 1915. was the owner of this
land at the time of his death and are
asking for partition, but the defend
ant claims that in 1909 her father con-
veyed this land to her by deed and
therefore she claims to be the sole
owner thereof. This claim is denied by
the plaintiffs and they contend that
the alleged deed was never delivered
by the father to the defendant and is
therefore void and of no effect. The
farm is valuable one and is estimat.
ed to be worth about $4,000 and every
inch Of the ground will be holly con.
tested when the case is tried.
