counter vibrations from the stars.
The rule today is likely TO cause
unrest and foreboding. Under this
sway suicides are more numerous
than at other times.
Erratic and impetuous speech ana
actions are encouraged by this rule
OF the heavens. Self-control should
be exercised.
There is a sign most encouraging to
inventions and a new man is to gain
supreme fame. He will be known
by n curious nickname. the seers
predict.
Uranus Is supposed to give promise
of supernatural or occult power which
will he utilized by a growing band OF
students.
Today is not favorable to military
operations. but while 1t does not aid
soldiers, it is not menacing in its
sway.
Mercury ruling the tenth and af-
flicted by. the Moon is read rs presag-
ing scandals that affect persons in
high place.
Lawyers are to come into new pros

nifty for them and legal cases of in
ternational interest will engage at
tention in the new year.
Again an accident to the King of
ENGLAND and trouble in the British

An American millionaire will render

NEW FLOOR LAMPS.

The advancing winter season, with
its long evenings indoors. makes the
living room lights an important fac
tor in home. Some lovely new lamps
are designed purposoly for the reader
and are called chair lamps. They
have mahogany stands and rehertors
and are just the correct height for
one seated.
Another innovation that proves that
men have no monopoly on convent
ences is an electrically lighted sewing
stand. The stand, about the height Of a
smoking stand, is OF mahogany, and
is equipped with all the things need
ed in sewing, and above is a softly
shaded electric light bulb to throw
light on the work one is doing.

per and most important part of the structure. The framework or scSf- fold (the lower limbs of the fruit tree) should be well placed so as not to form crotches. and with most varie- ties not over seven scaffold branches should be left. When forming the scaffold or foundation for the top of the tree, remember to keep the branches balanced. And remember to make provision for a good top, which produces the profit to the fruit grow CT writes S. Thorne in Farm and Fire side.
 After planning the future top of the young trees, prune often rather than too heavily at one time. By following this plan but very few large limbe will have to be cut out at any one time.
 When pruning bearing trees. al- ways remove all diseased and all bruised. broken and badly crossing limbs. Never leave a stub where a limb is removed, but make the cut as close to the trunk or large limb as possible.
 When the top becomes too dense, thinning can sometimes best be done by removing one or more of the scaf- fold limbs. As a rule all top pruning should be done by removing small branches rather than large branches. Ever keep in mind that a well-bal- anced tree is the most productive tree, all things considered
 When pruning in winter, always remember it will be to the advantage of the tree to summer-prune in part rather than to overprune in winter.

usually not enough lime and phospor- us. These latter can be supplied by the use of bone meal or ground lime stone and rock phosphate. These giv- en to milk producing animals at the rate of from one-third to two-thirds ounces per day, should prove bene- ficial when cows are producing twenty pounds of milk or more.
 It has been found that cows need about three quarters of an ounce of comon salt daily with an addition of three fifths of an ounce for each twenty pounds of milk. Mixing salt with the grain is good practice, as it will be eaten with greater relish as a result. One and one-half pounds of salt mixed with one. hundred pounds of grain gives about the right proportion. In addition to this a handful or two placed before the cows each week will permit the consump- tion of more if desired.
 Some men give more salt to stimu late drinking, thinking that greater milk yields will result. This is a mis- taken notion because additional water will be drunk purely for the purpose of carrying off the excess salt. The COW may be made uncomfortable by this practice and if carried too far it will result in loss of effieciency in di- gestion.-G. C.
