rShe purpose Of this article is not
TO consider the needs Of a large COM
merclal orchard, but rather those Of
the small orchard on the average farm,
says !. c. Hoffman In Perdue AgriCul-
turist. However, the same principles
of care and management apply to both
Apple trees, like any other species,
tend to grow tall If allowed to have
their own way, and careful watching,
pruning and care are necessary if the
best results are to be obtained. The
successful OrChardist has found il more
economical to grow a low, broad
topped tree which is symmetrical in
shape rather than the type that is so
closely related to the forest tree. In
order to get the best possible type 1t
is necessary to prune the tree, cut
ting out the crossed and undesirable
branches and leaving only those that
will produce a well-balanced top.
Another important factor to be
watched is the open head. A certain
amount Of sunlight inside the head is
necessary to the health of the tree and
development Oe the fruit. Sunlight is
great germicide and fungicide, and
so 1t tends to hinder the growth of
these organisms within the top.
When to Begin Pruning.
Pruning should begin when the tree
Is set out. The top and the roots are
pruned so that they bear an equal
ratio to each other. The top is started
low. Some orchardists recommend as
low as 1S to "a inches above ground
as the proper distance for starting the
top. This is desirable, since it pro-
duces tree with a low, we'll

GIVING RASPBERRIES
WINTER PROTECTION
Canes Must Be Bent Over to
Ground and Covered With
Earth or Straw.
(By d. P. SANDSTEN, Colorado Agri-
cultural College.)

(By d. P. SANDSTEN, Colorado Agri-
cultural College.)
With few exceptions, winter protec-
ton is necessary to insure a crop of
raspberries. In some cases the mere
laying down or bending over Of the
canes to protect them against the cold
and drying winds is all that is neces-
sary, though the safest and most eff
cient way Is to bury the canes, that is,
cover them with soil to a depth of
three or four inches. The covering
should be done as lnte as possible, but
before the ground is frozen. Select
days during which there is no freezing
temperature; otherwise the canes are
apt to break when bent to the ground
for covering. With some varieties hav-
ing strong and brittle canes it is often
necessary to remove spadeful of soil
from the side of the cane towards
which the canes are bent and in ex-
treme cases the soil is removed on both
sides. Generally, only enough earth is
used to completely cover the canes,
and success is dependent not upon the
thickness of the covering, but upon the
completeness Of the cover. Strawy
manure will serve the same purpose
as earth, if Obtainable in sufficient
quantity to make complete covering.
The canes should be uncovered as
late as possible in the spring to avoid
early spring frosts, yet the covering
should not be permitted to remain too
long as it is apt to injure the young
growth. Ordinarily when the buds
have well started the covering should
be removed. Care should be taken in
GncOvering so as not to break or other
wise injure the canes and the soil
should be leveled off completely; 9TH
erwise in few years the bushes will
stand on a ridge and the feeding area
Of the plants is greatly decreased.

ness. Many a housewife who is the
soul of industry, does not exercise
her brains in planning for her table.
A notebook and pencil used with
thought once a week will plan the
meals for the family in a half hour.
If one is too busy, or too tired to add
variety to the table of what advantage
is it to think of what might be? The
man of the house loses all interest in
food, the children lose their appetites
in the household where the rut travel
ed is growing deeper and deeper. Don't
bore the family or members of the
family with questions as to what they
would like, for the thinking housewife
will find out without seeming to in
quire. To many it spoils meal to
know beforehand what they are go
ing to have. Never, as you value your
reputation as an intelligent hOusekeep-
er, never let your family say "this is
rlce-pudding day, or Goldfish gravy day
at our house." To be successful the
cook must keep her troubles to her
self, as perplexities in the home are
best not shared.
Variety in our diet is as important
as it is in other things, and the dish
that comes as a surprise is always
more enjoyed.
We need to remember Turner's IA
nous reply to a man who inquired
how he mixed his colOrs: with
brains, sir" and nowhere can brains
be put to so good use as in the prepa-
ration of food for the family.
Chocolate Pudding.-Take one pint
Of hot milk, one cuptul of bread
crumbs, and three tablespoonfuls Of
chocolate, bake for 25 minutes. Sauce
Beat one egg and one cupful Of
sugar together, add three tablespoon
fuls of boiling water and tablespoon
full of butter. Stir and serve imme-
diately.
Excellent Frostlng. - Four table
spoonfuls of milk, one cupful of sugar
boiled together until 1t spins a thread.
Beat until thick, flavor or add melted

chases. When the goods are delivered
she may be present to check up the
parcels and weigh those that are
bought by weight. Today an ounce
of meat short of what you have paid
for means loss, and quarter of a
pound short amounts to five or ten
cents, depending on the price of the
meat bought. This shortage may not
mean anything but carelessness on the
part of the butcher, but when he
knows that his goods will come back
If not just as ordered, 1t will make "a
difference in the care taken in filling
the order. The woman who says
never mind, it is too small to men
ton" will find that five cents day
will amount to dollar in less than
month and over $12 in the course of
a year. The maids in our homes must
be taught to be less wasteful, to be
more careful in preparing food In
right amounts so there will be none
or very little left over to make prob
lem of disposal.
The wood and coal bill, as well as
the gas and electricity, may all be
lessened by proper thought. The roar
ing fire when none is necessary; Just
shut the dampers of the stove when
not in use. When making pudding, If
there are pieces enough, which is easy
to plan for, knowing the family ap-
petite, there Is no waste.
In using soap, If the cake is left in
the water it is softened and wasted;
more is used than needed. Many
workers will make half cake of soap
go as far and do as good work as
others who use a whole cake. Soap
pieces may be saved, melted and used
In the boiler or bits may be saved for
the soap shaker in dish washing. II.
Elimination bills may be greatly les
sened by turning off the light If abb

Habits of thrift are best begun in
childhood, but thought will do much
to overcome wasteful practices.

PRUNE SMALL ORCHARD ON AVERAGE FARM

and picking more economically done,
and also there is less danger of dam
age by storms.
Young limbs may be taken of at
any time The loss of vitality and
moisture is insignificant. But large
limb should never be taken off until
the tree is dormant. The best time
for this is late in the winter or very
early In the spring before growth be-
gins, as there is less danger Of the
wound drying out and cracking. Al
so that no stubs extend out, because
the wound will not heal over, and in
time the stub will decay and ruin the
tree.
Make Cut Upward.
Never make the first cut in a large
limb on the top, but with the saw
make an upward cut one or two inches
deep on the underside to prevent the
limb from breaking off and peeling
away a portion of the bark. Always
leave the wound smooth, and if It is
one and a half inches or more in di-
ameter 1t should be painted with white
lead.
Orchard renewing is rapidly COM
Ing into popularity in all parts of the
fruit belt. Mature trees that have
been neglected for many years are
headed in and made to grow new
wood, and in many cases the entire
top is worked over and reshaped. The
results of these experiments show that
the methods are practical and bCne-
fetal. The orchardist works the top
down to the low, well-balanced head
that is so popular and with proper
spraying the crops are large and well
moturad
