You are acting foolishly, Tom,"
said Jim Holloran to his son. you
know very well that the girls a waif
and stray. If you marry her you'll
come to regret it,"
She's as good as anyone else
around here" answered Holloran in
dignantly.
His fathers opinion was, in a Sc
verer form, than the fsherfolks on
Clark island. Seventeen years before
a ship had gone to pieces on the rocks
in the bay. When the lifeboat men
clambered aboard they found a dying
woman clutchlng a puny infant to her
breast. The child was a girl; brought
ashore, it grew into a comely young
woman. The kindly fisherfolks who
reared her christened her Helen Clark.
That was as far as their magma
ton could run. Helen and Tom, the
son of her foster parents neighbor,
had always been sweethearts. The
young fisherman and the girl we're en-
gagged to be married soon.
The idea was, not that the girl was
unworthy Of Tom. but that some day
she would be claimed.
In those days the attention Of the
nation had been absorbed by the
Spanish war. The wreck had re-
ceived but passing notice. There had

PLANTING AND PRUNING
FRUIT TREES
]. C. Written, Missouri College
of Agriculture

Fruit trees should be ordered
at once if they are to be set out
this spring. Careful tests at the
Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment station have shown that
fall planting is better, but if the
work was not done last fall it
will be better to do the work
this spring than to wait until
next fall and lose another yeal
of growth.
One year old trees that hav
been properly grown are usually
preferable, but two year oil
apple, pear, cherry, or American
plum trees may be used. Sc
apple trees rs to 35 feet apart
each way; pear, peach or cherry
trees 20 feet; and plum trees
1912 feet.
The bark will show just how
deep the young trees were be-
fore transplanting and they
should be reset to about the
same depth in holes just deep
and broad enough to admit the
roots in their natural position
without any bending. Cut any
broken or diseased parts from
the roots and be sure that tn
ends are smoothly cut instead O
left ragged. Trees that cannot
be planted as soon as they cor
must be heeled in to prevent
the roots from drying out or
molding.
Shake fine moist( not wet) soil
in between the roots and tramr
it firmly with the feet while the
hole is being filled, but be sure
that the roots are covered in 2
natural position and not tramp
led into bad positions. After the
soil has been tramped in level
with the surrounding ground, ar
inch or two of loose earth spree
over the surface will help to pre-
vent baking.
AS most trees cannot be reset
without the loss of many roots,
the top must be trimmed ac-
cordingly or there will be more
of it than the remaining roots
can support readily and even
young trees which are not trans
planted should be pruned severe
ly and the proper shape given
them. The one year old tree
which has no side limbs should
usually be trimmed to make il
head out from two to two and a
half feet from the ground. Al
side limbs of peach trees should
be cut off close to the trunk and
the main trunk should be short
ened. Cherry trees should be
so pruned that only three, four
or five branches are left, but
none of its branches should be
cut back.
Well-branched apple, pear, and
American plum trees should have
the main leaders cut out to forr
open spreading heads that Wi
let in the sunshine to aid in ri
pening the fruit. Their side limbs
should be so shortened that they
are only half or two thirds as
long as at first. The number of
main limbs should be finally re-
duced to three, four, or five
which are to form the frame
work of the tree, but it is often
better to leave more limbs than
this at the end of the first sea.
son and make final choice of t.
limbs that are to be saved at II
end of another year.

Laying OF Men for Winter

Owing to the fact that during the
winter months it is quite imprac.
ticable to operate their mill, due to
the water sources and failing ponds

during the early part of the week to
close the mill down for the winter.
