SPRING PRUNING.
Should Be Done Now For Vines and
 Trees.

Now is the time to prune vines and trees Don't delay until spring work comes and then say there is no time to do it. The man who prunes will reap his reward this coming season in his crop of fruit.
 Grapes.
 Grapes should be pruned before. it gets any later in the season. It is impossible to prune them early in April because they will bleed badly, and this will weaken the vnes for the years growth.
 In pruning we should look for last years growth of wood. We should prune this back until there are only a few buds left upon it. This is because each one of these buds will start a shoot when spring opens up, and each shoot will bear, at least three bunch es of grapes. The amount of last years wood to leave depends, of course, upon the strength of the vine. An average vine should have four or five branches left These branches should be cut back until they are not more Sthan four feet long. Always remember, however, that it is better to have a few nice punches of grapes than a large number of small badly filled punches. Even a strong, wig more than a quarter of the wood which it grew last year There is seldom any danger of cutting vine too much.
 Where vines are being trained up on arbors for shade as we'll as for the fruit they will produce, it is necessary of course, to sacrifice some of the fruit for shade, more wood being left than otherwise would be the case.
 Peaches.
 A weu-trained peach tree should be w-headed. we'll pranched, and crop may be harvested from the ground. To obtain a tree of this form, we must cut off the upper part of the limbs every year. even though it is headed If the trees are already high, cut them back severely, in spite of it's meaning sacrifice of a part of this years crop. Next season, we will make up the loss for the new growth where the peaches will be born. In removing top branch. cut it just above a branch which comes out at an angle. This will tend to make the tree more straight. Especial. care should be taken that all dead or dis eased wood shoud bel cut off.
 Some of the tools best adapted to pruning work are the Shaud-pruning shears, the narrow bladed saw prefer ably one of the neat saw type with swivel blade, and a pole primer for cutting Tout the tops of high trees. The saw can be used for all the limbs to large for the hand shears. The pole pruner is of advantage because it ground while removing the top branch es, and he is in a better position to do the work than if he used the long handled pruners which require both hands to operate
 Very old trees may be cut back to stubs and in a wear or two an entirely new to will be formed which will be as vigorous as a young tree but will produce crop of fruit the next sea- son if severely headed back
 When going through the orchard to do the pruning work. make it point to remove all dry peaches which still cling to the limbs of the trees, These serve as carriers of the brown rot disease.-S. P. Hollister.

At an carly age, Eugene Pullen WaH | an express driver. He handled -rRilFoaa baggage. One day after deliver1ng g l heavy trunk on an upper floor he felt l a pain fin the right groin. The But1sf- ing increased and it was not long be- fore the young man noticed the swelling. l.s
 The doctor told young Pullsn that he was ruptured and that he mutt either wear a truss throughout life or submit to a drastic, operation e All surgeons know that hernia operatlons, with anaesthetics, etc, are danBerOugi they may end fatally. Moreover, 1t is a we'll established fact that many rupture operations are not successful; the bowel soon breaks through tlig sewed-up opening and protrudeg Wofse than ever. --.
 Afraid of Operation.
 Like most others Mfr Puiien de- clined to take the risks of an opera tion; the expense and loss of time had to be considered, too. Hoping he might get little better encourage who, to his sorrow gave him even less hope. It was pointed out to the young man that unless the rupture were perfectly held all the time or the surgeons knife successfully used, no might expect an increase or doubhug in the rupture with further coulplica- tions. or the dreaded stramgulated hernia which kills so many ruptured people ..E
 Victim of Trusses.
 The victim bought a truss, a hard spring-like affair, the best he could get. It tortured him. He tried an- other-still no relief. He was com peiled to give up his express business. The hard tasks of ordinary men were forbidden him. He became an in6ur- ance agent in which position he did not need to do bodily work.
 For six years MT. Pulien dragEed around, using various trusses hard elastic, etc, with never any content ment. One day his mother told hin1 something she had just found out. lt was a simple and easy thing for him to do. He lost no time.
 Discarded His Truss.
 Relief came at once; he almost for got that he had any rupture. After ward came a cure-a complete healing and. although years have pasged penter, working on building1, climb ing over roofs, lifting lumber and such like. he is absolutely free from the old hernia. He knows he iB com no operation, no lost time, no trouble comfort and contentment from the very outset. He is a strong, cheer .ful-minded man.
 Valuable information Free.
 The valuable information which Mrs. Pullen read in a neWspaber many years ago and gave to her son, together with further important facte will be sent free to any reader Of this who writes to Eugene M- Pulisn. g6TC AIarcellus avenue .Mauaaquau N.

ONE WAY TO HELP
 YOUR BOYS AND GIRLS
Information Can Be Had About Club
 Work At Any Time.

Most people would be very glad to do something for the benefit of the immediate community in which they live if they only knew what to do and how to do it.
 There is no better way to help a community than by helping the boys and girls. They are eager to learn ready to co-operate-wil1 work with enthusiasm. and if well directed will carry a project through, and as they are the future citizens the result will be lasting and far reaching.
 Many are quick to criticize how vacations and spare time but make no attempt to ferret out the cause of this or possible remedy.
 Children are naturally active and if we look back to the days of our childhood for comparison, we shall like those when we were young.
 We do not wish to suppress this energy. We wish to direct it. Why not begin now to see what we can do children may have pleasant and profitable vacation season?
 The time to plan this work is now. The way to plan it is to interest a gether, decide what you are really willing to do, and then send to your County Agent or the State Leader of Boys and Girls Clubs at Storrs, Ct, ana ma out now 10 QO L.
 Like everything else worth while, it will take some time and exertion on your part, but not nearly as much as you may think During the summer and in the fall when you see what the young people have accomplished and realize the many benefits they have gained along other lines than those of mere production, you will feel 1t was worth all you put into it.
 We complain that young people are unhappy and discontsnted in their en- vironment. Try a season of well d. rected and profitable club work in your town and note at the conciu- sion the change of opinion and inter- est of the young people.
 In 1916 we had good club work in Connecticut, but not nearly as good as we shall have when the grown ups" wake up to the fact that what the country is twenty years from now de bends upon the present crop of boys and girls and that it is their job to cultivate this crop along the best practical and scientific lines possible.
 Take up club work in your town and see if it isn't worth whi1e.-M. E.. Sprague. Leader Girls Clubs.

 The speaker said that the heifers should be. well developed before they are brought into milk. The profit ableness of dairying depends to a large degree upon the careful. rearing of the heifer calves from the best cows in the heard and sired by a pure-bred bull of quality. Although the value of a calf at birth depends primarily on it's breeding, the feed and care it receives while young are fully as important factors in deciding it's future usefulness in the herd. There need be no fear of getting heif- CTS too fat if they have inherited dairy qualities.
