EVERY FARMER SHOULD BAVE
A TRADEMARK.

In Farm and Fireside. the nation
al farm paper published at Spring
field Ohio, a writer says:
Farmers everywhere have adopt
ed farm names, but farm trade
marks are scarce. To the producer
striving to establish a reputation, the
distinctive trademark. considered so
indispensable in manufacturing. has
decided value. And it Is inexpensive.
THE trademark should carry a
definite message. One New Eng
land woman has pen-and-nk
sketch OF a dainty little girl carrying
a basket overlooking with eggs. This
trademark appears on her station
cry, her business cards, and her
shipping containers. She believes the
trademark has definite value in her
business, much of which is done by
mail.
Another example is an apple
farm going by the name 'Applecrest,
which has for a trademark a color
ed crest in which apples figure.
THE farm trademark goes hand
in hand with quality. The producer
of first-class article gives it trade
mark Identifying it, and the demand
grows fast"

BIG POURING OF BOOZE.
Lexington Sheriff 'SprinkIes" Jail
Lawn With Seized STUFF.

Lawn with seized stun.
Lexington, July 30.-For the first
time in a long while the people of
Lexington had the pleasure of wit
Messing and also of getting the
pleasant odor OF whiskey this morn
ing when Sheriff Sim ]. Miller de-
stroyed big lot of contraband Ii
Guor in the county Jail yard, and for
several hours afterwards the odor
remained in the air. A great crowd
of both white and black was attract
ed to the scene. and many mouths
"watered" for only smile" of the
effervescent fluid; but that was all.
The lot, including many quarts of
the very finest grade of rye whiskey
lot that was captured at the Lex
ington derot some five or six weeks
ago. This lot came to Lexington in
two large steamer trunks, which
had been checked as baggage from
Jacksonville. The parties never
called for the trunks so far as is
known, and to whom the liquor really
belonged, has been only a matter of
conjecture. However, it has now
gone the way of all truth, and the
county Jail yard will bear tost'rr INV
that the booze was destroyed for sew
eral days to come. The sheriff will
next dispose of the two trunks in the
manner prescribed by law; the
trunks being about as valuable as
the whiskcy. being Of the very high
est grade and having never been
used, apparently, except in bringing
the whisky from Jacksonville to Lex
ington. There is less liquor being
used by the people of Lexington at
this time than ever before in the his
tory OF the county. it is believed.

DO not be neslcctful Of the prun-
ing, spraying and planting OF the or
chard, which should receive attention
at this time, rather than stand until
spring. More time can be devoted to
this work at this season, insects and
diseases are more easily destroyed ut
this time, and winter planting con-
serves tho moisture and enables the
tree to become well established be-
fore the growing season.
Pruning is doubtless one Of the
most important operations in success
lul orchard management, and usually
receives less attention than does any
other one phase OF the orchard work.
For best results, this work should be.
gin with the planting Of the tree,
which necessarily varies with the
kind and age OF the tree planted.
Usually by the end OF the fourth
year the head or frame work OF the
tree has been formed, after which
time all subscquE!t prunings consist
mainly IN the removal of dead and in
terfcring limbs and the shortening
back OF the terminal branches: Civ
ing reasonably open center and a
low, spreading growth. The differ
ence in the individuality OF fruit
trees makes it impossible to prunc
any two trees just alike. However.
the above mentioned rule will hold
good in the pruning OF nearly all
fruit trees. The removal Of all prun-
ings from the orchard is imperative.
For successful fruit growing
spraying Is very necessary, which at
this time is for the purpose OF hold
ing in check the scale and fungus dis
eases that are prevalent III nearly all
orchards. This application should be
applied Immediately following prun-
Ing and should consist of mixture
OF commercial lime sulphur Niquid
form) applied at the rate of one gal
lon Of the concentrate to nine of wa
ter.
Amount of spray required: Five
gallons Of the concentrated lime sui
phur, making SO gallons when dilut-
ed at the rate Of 1 to 8, is sufficient
for GO very young trees; 35 full
bearing peach or apple; 90 old-fash-
Toned apple or peach. This should be
applied with good barrel spray
pump, something that Is needed on
every farm.
If you are thinking of planting an
orchard get your order in the hands
Of some reliable nurseryman imme-
diately and insist on having trees OF
the highest quality and OF varieties
that are adapted to your section. In
making your calculations as to the
number of trees needed use the fol-
lowing planting distances: Apples,
80 by 80 feet, 40 trees per acre;
peaches, IS by Is feet. "a trees per
