"HeIIo" Purely American
Expression, but Originated
With French Wolf Hunters

You should try to learn the old wolf
hunters call, because you know the
wolf Is d scout, and that should be the
scout call, writes Dan Beard In Boys
Life.
This call was used In France first
and afterwards in England, but there
are no wolves in England now and the
bugla call has been forgotten In both
countries. therefore we paint II. green
and call 1t our own" Even though
William Tell and Robin Hood bugled
the same calls before America was dis
covered, we can make 1t American the
same as we have made the old French
wolf hunters cry American. French
was spoken in English court circles, so
the titled wolf hunters used the French
cry "hab lie Ioup" or "a lou loup, loup,"
being pronounced loo, the cry being n
la loo; the English put on the II and
made 1t halloO, and we made 1t hello,
which II an American expression, as
all the telephone girls know.
SO the old wolf hunters bugle calls
which chme here with the Huguenots
will also be American when blown
through wooden flat-boatmen's trum-
pets.

SIMPLE RULES FOR PRUNING
Absence Of Deadwood viii Greatly
Enhance Value Of Orchard to
Prospective Buyer.

In pruning, the following simple
practices are observed by leading
farmers. In cutting out branches
which shade the rest of the tree they
cut those from which 1t Is difficult or
impossible to harvest the fruit easily
with a ladder. They cut out all the
dead wood. 1t will drop off eventual
ly, but the absence of dead wood is
one Of the signs of we'll kept or
chard and will greatly enhance the
value Of the orchard to prospective
buyer.
They also cut off all the suckers on
the trunk and main branches unless
they wish to start new branches near
er the ground. For some time the
suckers will only be consumers of the
tree food and Will be nonproducers.
The first principle of large produc-
ton of first-class fruit is large bear
ing surface, exposed to the sun as
much as possible. Many believe they
can more easily prune to get sun
while the leaves are still on the trees.

Vast Quantities of Coal

Boys Life. 1t Is believed that more

BILE; $50,OOO,OOO worth Of petroleum Is
wasted annually and $75 600 900 in cox

killed In coal mines.
To study and remedy such conditions
the government established in 1910
bureau Of mines with headquarters Mt
Washington. an experiment station at
Pittsburgh. and an Office for the study
Of smelter problems at San Francisco.

II you are about feet, inches In

specifications for murderer, based on
measurements Of more than 1900 con-

Other interesting data of the genus

A third of the murderers never at
