WELL KEPT ORCHARD
WILL PROVE PROFITABLE
BY ?. @. HOLDk

There are many reasons why we
should grow our own fruit al home.
Chief among them are:
l. The present high price of fruit
makes it profitable.
2. Fruit should form a portion of
our daily diet.
3. Fruit trees, if well cared for
add to the appearance of our town or
country home.
If we grow our own fruit we will
have fresh fruit every day during tho
season and will have a surplus to dry,
can, or store for winter use. If we
90 not grow it we viii not have it.
A well-kept orchard is one of the
most attractive parts of the farm.
| Nothing else on the farm fingers so
| long in our memory as the old or
chard. 1t is at once a source Of beau
| y and fragrance in the spring, Of de-
| lightful shade all summer, Of health
! fuI and delicious food in the autumn
and winter months.
The time to plant fruit trees is late
! in the fall. Only trees with good
health main trunks, free of diseases.
bruises and insect pests, should be
planted. 4 generous amount of well
rulverized soil should be packed
around the roots.
| The purpose of trimming frGit trees
| is to strengthen them by properly
Epacing the branches on the trunk and
to permit the light and heat to pene-
trate to all parts OF the tree.
All dead wood. all suckers. all
blight, bitter rot or black rot infested
! branches and all branches which cross
other branches and rub off the bark,
| should be trimmed out.
Every branch removed alinuld be
cut off as close to the parent branch
as possible. Never leave a stub, as
it will die and cause the trunk of the
tree to rot All wounds caused by
cutting should be painted. When the
branch removed had been diseased
the wound, before being painted
should be washed with a solution OF
one part corrosive sublimate to 10ol
parts of water.
Peach trees produce fruit on wood OF
the previous seasons growth. To have
an abundance of fruit-bearing wood
each year trees must be cut back suf-
ficiently to cause a vigorous growth
of new wood.
Plums and cherries do not need Sc
we're pruning. Plums are often in
jured by too much trimming.
Pears should never be pruned-cu'
out only the dead wood and use q dis
infectant on all cuts made.

URGES BETTER VARiETy'oF OATS

Professor Earl Jones OF the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural college in = re-
cent circular iotter, has called atten-
ton to the wisdom OF selecting better
varieties Of cats. Little attention has
been paid to the amount of hull IN
oats in the east, but the wide vacie.y
in this respect has q material effect
on the feeding value. The oat nullG
have about the same value as cat
straw. Ordinarily, these varieties :tre
best advantage to the conditions IN
der which they are grown will nave
the smallest percentage Of null.
Oats OF the side, or horse m@na
type, make a good appearance in the
field. But they are decepriveG for
they do not yield as well rs their a3-
pearance would indicate. hey gen-
orally have Il higher proportion 0t
hull than grain produced by varic
ties which have the common or
spreading type of head.
The extension agrOmOnisr has COZ
lected a limited number of variauec
Of oats of each type AMI has deter
mined the proportion OF hui. In No
case has the cat of the common type
shown as much hull as rne horsr
name type. The average per cent. o,
the hull of the varieties of The com
mon typo was 29.3 PEI cent and il
the horse name type 3i& per cans

FREE SHEEP OF WORMS.

During the winter lossas of sheep
from stomach worms ara not noticea-
BILE but preventative measures should
be taken to avoid losses in summer,
particularly July and August. II
such measures are taken. the stor;ach
worm car be controlled, according to
A. G. Skinner. sheep specialist fer
the Extension Service On Connection:
Agricultural college at Sto,:s.
The stomach worm is about three
fourths of an inch long and about as
thick as a hair. It lives il. the fourth
stomach of the sheep or Just where tire
inteStines attack and where an i'm
portant part of the digestion takes
place
Sheep infected with stomach worms
usually show the following symptoms:
Anemia. loss Of flesh, general wea5-
ness, dullness, poor appetite, thirst
and diarrhoea. The aneIntc conditic1
is seen in the paleness of the skin and
mucous membranes Of the mouth and
eye. The general weakness is shown
by a dropping head and 4 very I'M
thrifty condition. A mora certain
diagnosis may be made by killing one
of the flock and opening the stomach.
IF present the worms will be found
wriggling about in the contents of the
fourth stomach.
After four years of careful research
work the Department Ut Agriculture
recommends the Copper &u.phate or
Bluestone treatment as being the best
In the preparation of the dose only
clear blue crystals Of Copper Sui
phate should be used. Crush the cry:
tays 10 q fine powder when ready =
make up the solution. Dissolve OF
(avoirdupois) Of the powdered crys-
tails in 6 quarts of wafer, using q
wooden or earthernware vessel as the

| This amount will be enough TO dose

The amounts Of the dosage fol

ADJUSTING LOADS
ON FARM WAGONS

1t is a common belief that the load
pulls easier il put well forward TN
the wagon. But it doesn't on the
ordinary wagon where the hinI
wheels are larger than the front ones
If the wheels were equal in size the
load should be equally distributed If
the trucks We're so low down that the
horses got an upward pull on tho
load, then it would do to put Ike
load we'll forward. The load should
be proportionate to the surface con
tact OF the wheels. A large wheel
sinks less than. a small one, therefore
the load should be heavieat on The
hind wheels. Distribute the weight
so that no one wheel or &c one side
is carrying the greater shave, lest Il
make the draft excessive for the tJn-
mage carried.

BIG SHOE Bills
CAN Be CUT

Twill always wear shoes with Ne5lin
Soles," writes MIR. M. Newman of the
|. Newman Mfg. Co. of Minneapolis.
They are superior soles in every way,
waterproof, more comfortable and more
durable. After many months of wear
they remain in good condition"
Mr.. Newman, and millions of others,
have found that the answer to the shoe
bill problem lies in getting soles that
wear long time-Neolin Soles.
They are scientifically made, very
tough and yet have the other qualities
that soles should have-comfort and
absolute waterproofness. Get Neolin-
soled shoes for your whole family.
They are found nearly everywhere and
in all styles. Have worn shoes re-
paired with Neolin Soles. They are
made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make
Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to out
wear any other heels.

Kenyon
The Traits of an Artist
Hard for Us to
Lose

When Kenyon Cox was a student in
Paris, under Gerome and Carolus-D Du-
ran, he achieved prodigous repute. He
could draw then with an ability that
astonished his masters and his COM
rades. 1t was as man of unique abil-
lty-and training-that he started his
career in this country. The fame of a
remarkable craftsman followed him
all his life long. But the determining
element in his art, which he brought
back from Paris, was really one which
he had taken with him on his Youthful
journey to the French capital. 1t was
an instinct for the life of an artist as
something more than an affair of tech
nique, of the things that can be ac-
quired. He made himself a sound
workman as a means to an end. The
end, as ne saw it, was art enriched by
thought and imagination. He was a
type of the old school that, as the say
ing has it, mixed its palette with
brains
He cared for what the French ex
emplars of his youth loved to call the
ordommamce of a picture, the orderly
arrangement in it of logical ideas At
the root of this preoccupation of his
there resided splendid sincerity and
self-respect. Whatever he did he
cf 70 RI IL
ago he made for "The Century Maya
zine" certain drawings from photo
graphs Of noted French actors, Coque-
lin, Mounet-Sully, Rejane. Those were
the days of the pen, golden days, in
which artists accustomed to that in
strument used it with the conscien-
tiousness of painters using the brush
Cox was, in this particular field, as
brilliant as when, in Paris, he had
drawn from the nude. His portraits
from photographs were not perfume
tory. They were works of art. He had
a rich experience as illustrator, max
ing a memorable series of designs for
Rossetti's "Blessed Damozel" but he
had a large, intellectual feeling for
his art, and it was inevitable that he
should have sought commensurate op-
portunities, becoming one of the lead
ing mural painters of his time. He
gravitated to wall decoration with
kind of natural authority. l we'll re-
member watching the first real bur
geoning Of our school as a school, seiz-
ing it's first great public chance, on
the occasion of the Worlds Fair at
Chicago in 1898. Cox took hold of the
space allotted to him, one Of the
domes, with the grasp of an old hand.
Strengthening that grasp all the time

tant commission after an yther came to
