PRUNING SHADE TREES

Sidewalk trees must of course be trimmed high enough for people to walk comfortably under, even when weighted with rain, and tall trees that of necessity must be walked under need tall stems But in extensive grounds where trees are planted for beauty, the less pruning the better Of course, interfering limbs may have to come out, but the beauty of the tree is in it's spreading limbs and mass of foliage and not in it's trunk. Hence, where trees are planted as frame work to a wide lawn, the less trunk there is exposed the better-The Pro- gressive Farmer.

Not a SWede.

Alderman Captain is member of the home guards of the Twenty-fifth ward, says the Chicago Herald. He took Alderman Toman out to see the drill soon after the latter returned from Investigating Boston saloons. Toman was put in line and the in- structor announced that he would give a lesson in Swedish gymnastics. The younger men went through the drill with ease. Toman began to puff. He finally blurted out: I'm too old for that sort of stuff"
 "How old are you?" inquired the instructor.
 'Thirty-eight."
 "Fine," commented the instructor. "The Swedes use this sort of exercise at the age of siXty.'
 "Pm no Swede; I'm a Bohemian" said Toman as he got out of line.

MUST FULFILL CONDITIONS
FOch Threatens to End Armistice fl
 Germans Fail.

Paris, Jan. 1S.-Marshal Foch, ac- cording to the Matin, will immediate ly break off the armistice with Ger many if the conditions of the armi- stice are not fulfilled
 The allied commander in chief, the newspaper adds, does not believe that the Germans exaggerate when they cry famine The situation of the populations of Austria and Prussia the marshal is quoted as saying, is near the starvation point. Germany still possesses an army, the marshal declared, but the allies hold the Rhine, which constitutes a formid- able strategical barrier Marshal Foch is said to have declared that he did not believe that Bolshevik invasion through Germany to France was pos sible.
 The agreement for the renewal of the German armistice, signed by Mar shal Foch, Admiral Browning and the German armistice commissioners on Tuesday, provided for the renewal of the armistice from t:mc to time after the month for which the extension runs, until the conclusion of peace. subject to the approval of the allied governments.
 The principal terms of the renewal are substantially as has been reported. In addition, there is clause by which the allied command reserves the right to occupy that part of the Strass- bourg defenses comprised by the forts of the eastern bank of the Rhine and a strip of territory from three to six miles beyond. Other clauses provide for the substitution for supplementary railroad material, fixed at 800 loco- motives and 1900 cars by the proto- col of December r, by large quan- titles of industrial and agricultural implements, and give control of Rus sian prisoners in Germany to allied and associated delegates for repatria- tion.
 German headquarters at Berlin will act in collaboration with the allied and associated relief organizations in this phase of the work.
 The naval clauses provide that all submarines must be turned over, in- cluding all submarine cruisers, mine layers, sweepers, salvage ships and floating docks for submarines. They also stipulate that the .u:iding of all submarines must cease, and those on the stocks must be dismantled or de- stroyed under allied supervision.

SPREAD MANURE WHEN. LAND IS FROZEN

Wherever stable manure is to be broadcasted for the coming truck crop, this can be done to advantage by putting it on during spare time through the winter. It is preferable to put it on land where a cover crop is growing so that this crop can make use of that portion of plant food which may become immediately avail able. In broadcasting the manure, be careful not to drive over the ground when it is wet unless it is frozen. One of the best possible times for broad casting the manure is when the ground is frozen hard.-The Progress sive Farmer.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The principal factor in successfully
operating a properly constructed road
drag, provided that the condition OF
the road is favorable, is skill on the
part Of the operator. Such skill can
be obtained only by intelligent expert
ence in the use Of the drag. and no
rules can be laid down which would
enable an inexperienced operator to
produce first-class results. The fol-
lowing suggestions are intended, there
fore, to serve rather as guide to the
judgment than as criterion to be Inn
plicity followed.
Under ordinary circumstances the
position of the hitching link on the
draw chain should be such that the
runners will make an angle Of from
60 to IS degrees with the center line
of the road, or, in other words, skew
angle of from Is to 80 degrees. 1t is
apparent that by shifting the position
Of the hitching link the angle of skew
may be increased or diminished as the
conditions require. When dragging
Immediately over ruts or down the
center Of the road after the sides have
been dragged, it is usually preferable
to have the hitching link at the center
of the chain and to run the drag with
out skew. When the principal pur-
pose Of the dragging is to increase the
crown of the road, the drag should be
sufficiently skewed to discharge all
material as rapidly as it is collected
on the runners. On the other hand, if
depressions occur in the road surface,
the skew may perhaps be advantage
ously reduced to minimum thus en-
abling the operator to deposit the ma
terial which collects in front of the
runners at such points as he desires
by lifting or otherwise manipulating
the drag. Many other examples of con-
ditions which require notifications in
the angle of skew might easily be
cited, but these will readily suggest
themselves to an intelligent operator
as his experience increases.
The length of hitch is another very
important consideration in operating
road drag. In the designs which have
been discussed the draw chain may be
readily taken up or let out at either
end and the length of hitch thus in
creased or diminished as desired. 1t
is impracticable to prescribe even an
approximate rule for fixing the length
of hitch, because it is materially af-
fected by the height of the team and
the arrangement of the harness, as
well as by the condition of the road
surface. Experience will soon teach
the operator, however, when to short

According to the worlds greatest ply
sicians and medical authorities, calomel

of all medicines. Medical authorities pre-
scribed Calomei for almost every disease
and explained that it was the best and
surest of all system purifiers. They say
that calomel cleanses the liver. stomach.
bowels and kidneys and purifles the blood
from all poisons, making the system pure
and clean so that nature can quickly re-
store the health.
Now that science has purified calomel
of all it's nauseating and dangerous quail
tiles the new kind of calomel, called
"Calotabs," is even more popular than the
old. AS a liver-cleanser and system puri-
fer Calotabs are more effective than the

amount of cutting done by the front
runner and when to lengthen it in or
der to produce the opposite effect.
When the road surface is sufficient
ly hard or the amount Of material
which it is desired to have the drag
move is sufficient to warrant the OPP
orator standing upon the drag while 1t
is in operation, he can greatly facili-
tate it's work by shifting his weight at
proper times. For example, if it is de-
sired to have the drag discharge more
rapidly, the operator should move TO-
ward the discharge end Of the runners.
This will cause the ditch end of the
runners to swing forward and thus in
crease the skew angle of the drag.
The operator may, of course, produce
the opposite effect by moving his
weight in the opposite direction. In
the same way, he can partially control
the amount Of cutting which the drag
does by shifting his weight backward
or forward, as the case may be.
An intelligent and interested opera
tor will soon learn many simple ways
by means of which he can easily con-
troll the different features of the work
which a drag performs, and he will
also learn to utilize effectively every
effort which his team exerts.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
il is that so many products that are ex'
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer, This
applies more particularly 20 medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
IN endless chain system the remedy Is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of It.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
| Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

LOOK BEYOND THE LABEL

The pantry list contains quite as
many items that are valuable to the
cook according to their good spelling
qualities as 1t does Of articles that are
valuable because Of their good keeping
qualities. So 1t often happens that
such claims as "keeps always" "won't
SPOIL" etc., as read every day in adj
Vertisements would mean, II true, that
no service could be expected Of these
products.
For example, take matches-the
match that won't spoil is not a match
but a stick. Its only use Is its spoil
ing Another item that gives still a
better example is that of baking pow
der which years ago was considered
by many as a food but in reality is
not a food but merely a preparer OF
food; still, through misleading adver-
tisements many people have been led
to believe that they eat baking pow
der, but this Is not the case. Like the
match, baking powder must "spoll" In
order to serve.
So, keeping qualities may be impor-
tant only as they insure spelling quail
tiles, which merely means that such
items must be manufactured so that
the spelling will not take place pre-
maturely and fail when used.
Thus, it is that a small box Of
matches may be cheap at cents COM
pared with box double the size at
6 cents, or quarter Of pound can
Of baking powder Of the type that
only requires one level teaspoonful to
the cup Of flour (such as Calumet)
will go further than a 12-ounce tin
Of low-grade goods, sold for the same
money, The size Of the package or
the attractiveness Of the label mean
nothing. Values must be measured by
the service they give. It's the only
safe way tOday.-Adv.
