THE ORCHARD.
Some Suggestions Which Are Bound to
 Come in Handy.


 A good time to prune fruit trees in the north is late this month or early in March.
 When the apple trees seem to need something = you do not really know what = try some hardwood ashes
 Some of the stores offer pruning saws with two edges-fine teeth on one. coarse teeth on the other. Don't buy 'en, for the idea don't work out well in practice.
 For tree wounds paint is a good dressing. Mix white, lead and raw hn- seed -on and have it rather thick A bit of sienna in the raw state will give the paint very nearly the color of the bark of the tree.
 Walh out in the orchard and notice how the falI-sown cover crop has caught and held snow and leaves This serves as a winter overcoat for the tree roots, and is good thing in more ways than one.
 Just oyer the line from many places the fruit it grows is scarcely fit to give to a hog. If grafted to choice fruit if would put many dollars in the pocket of its owner every year.
 Watersprouts and surplus limbs take too much water from the trees in time not needed on the tree. and save the water for the sripeniug fruit: fruit won't mature well where shaded by sprouts.
 A soil of medium fertility is best suited to orcharding. Trees will not give good results on poor land The fertility of the soil can be corrected. but a poor soil is q great handicap. On very rich land the trees put on too much wood growth and not enough and bushy for the fruit to color up properly.

A MENACE TO ORCHARDS.
Look Out or Your Fruit May Be Ruin E ed by Spores from Cedar Apples.

Many a farmer has planted red cedarS for windbreak on one or more sides of his orcha I'd and then wonder ed why his apples or other pome fruits were below standard, not knowing that the spores from cedar apples" were ruining his fruit. Christy Michel bot anist at South Dakota State college, says:
 cedar trees may be affected by such spores which lodge on the young fruit or leaves of the apple or pear tree and begin at once to grow. Within a few the underside of <the leaves or at the tip of the young apple yellowish areas which contain many cup-1ike depres- sions with a fringed edge. Couptiess of such areas on a single tree play the part of robbers, which is distinct loss in three ways: 1. The fruit is injured and at picking time the apples will pass for only second class or culI- ?. There is a marked decrease in the size of fruit 3. There is a loss of vieor in the tree which is not only producing apples but must feed it's unwelcome guest"
 Careful experiments have shown" adds Professor Michel, that there is trees under such conditions. The ex- pertence of the states of Wisconsin and Nebraska has proved beyond doubt that the destruction of all red cedars WtInan ulle OI du OECndIu is the oHiy lasting remedy. Where nelghbors have red cedars within one mile it means that there must be corporation One may plant apple trees which are re- sistant or immune, such as Winesap, Baldwin, Grimes and Duchess. The York Imperial and Jonathan are sl1s- ceptible The Wealthy is the most susceptible.
 Cedar apples appear early in April and June sas s1fowy sweliings of red dish 5elly-like- masses or deformities on cedar trees. These apples average about the size of an English walnut, have many horn-lfke projections and are very much swollen after rain. The laorn-1ilSe projections contain thousands of small bodies called spores, which are released when dry. Winds carry these spores, of which there are nillions on one cedar tree. to neighborfng apple or pear trees, where they begin to STOW.

FARM ACCOUNTS
Provide the Best Stimulus to the Pro. per Thinking About Farm Busi- ness.

It is becoming more and more ap- parent that no expert, specialist, or county agent has an inexhausf5le sup ply of scientific agricultural informa- a. that he can peddle broadcast which can be put into practice universally and which will result in new success on our farms At the same time, it is becoming increasingly clear that, in nearly every case, any man who takes the pains tQ go over his farm business as a business and to compare it with the business of his neighbors who are reasonably successful can work out for himself a method of making his business profitable.
 The greater part of the value of farm accounts lies in the fast that they provide the best stimulus to such thinking about the farm business and furnish the best basis on which to make plans We have too much use of the imagination in planning the farm business.
 Bookkeeping in general and farm accounting in particular has seemed to many men an uncertain and diff cult matter: one which called for par ticular training in accountancy. As a matter of fact, any man who is able to write in such a way that he himself can decipf1erf 1t and to add, subtract and divide can do such farm account ing as will give him the necessary facts about his business. All that he

Of course it is easier to draw conclusions from the figures if he has gathered to- gether on separate pages the receipts from particular sources, and the pur- chases for separate departments. To be accurately done, however the items should be set down on the same date on which the transactions occur. "Ah, there's the rub" Many a man has begun the year with a beautiful set of books, only, when the busiest part of the season arrived, to begin postponing the recording of transac- tions- Pretty. soon the account book is laid away on the shelf and covered with dust In this. lies the argument for making the accounting system as simple as possible Else in nine cases out of ten 1t is headed for the dis card.

WILSON AND MARSHALL
 DECLARED REELECTED.
Partisan Demonstrations Were Made
 When Returns from Connecticut and California Were Announced.

Washington, Feb: 1f-Congress com
 pleted today the formal
 ities carrying into effect the will of the voters expressed last November and officially declared Woodrow Will son president and Thomas R. Marshall vice president, reelected. z
 At joint session of the senate and house the sealed vote was canyaseed by states with the usual quadrennial ceremony, and the result of the ballot
 ing of the electoral college, once the
 deciding factor in presidential con-
 functory means of ratifying the popu- lar voice, was entered formally on the official records. The count showed 277
 votes for the democratic nominees and
 254 for Hughes and F,aiTbanls.
 The proceeding reelected only in a
 mild degree the partisan enthusiastn of the doubtful days following selectton
 day in November. sAnnouncemet1t. of CaIifornia,s 13 votes for Wilson, broke an outburst of approval from the ,deni- ocrats, and there was applause on the
 republican side when Connecticut re
 turned the first votes for Hughes.
 Lesser demonstrations greeted the re- turns from. other states, and the .ses- sion broke up amid a loud democratic response to the announcement of the final result z -s ..
 Senator Kern of Indiana and Repre- sentative Fucker of Missouri denjc- CTdLS,s ana StuALOT NiAPP OAs 1z4IlxfE10@8 and Representative Mares of Michigan,

 Wilson, wife of the president. watched the ceremony from the executive gar iery and Secretaries Mc.Adoo. Baker and Daniels and Postmaster General Burieson were in the cabinet box .--s s.s Vice President Marshall. who pre- sided, requested at the outset that the members and spectators refrain from demonstrations, but immedfately after- ward he provoked a ripple of laughter and applause by remzrking: Tt has been the custom to refrain from signs of approval or disapprovai. The reason for this is that the resu1ts may not be entirely satisfactory to ev- erybody."

Dean J. R Jewell is by no means certain that he will accept the pos, ton as president of the State Normal School at Conway, offered him by the normal school board of trustees. Dean Jewell was not an applicant for the position in any sense of the word and did not know his name was being con sidered until he was advised of his election. He recently turned down a position offered at Geary Institute which paid s6,000 per year, twice the salary offered at the normal school. He is reluctant to leave Fayetteville because this climate has proved very beneficial to his health, which was failing before he came here. He ap- preciates the honor rendered him, but will defer acceptance until after he confers with the normal board at Lit tie Rock
