PRUNE DURING
DORMANT SEASON

1t is considered good practice to
prtlno trees, vines and shrubs before
growth starts in the spring. In fact.
il is probably better to prune during
the dormant season than at any other
time. in addition, farmers have more
time in the winter. If they wait ln-
til spring work starts they are apt to
forget the orchard. In order TO pre-
vent injury by freezing and drying
ont, the Nebraska state college of agr!-
culture suggests that where limbs an
INCH or more in diameter are removed
the wounds should be painted with
white lead and linSeed oil. Painting
the wound also keeps out moisture and
disease. Because no two trees are
alike no definite and specified rules
for pruning can be given. 1t is consi''-
cred we'll to keep the tree tops reason
ably open in order TO allow penetration
Of sunlight, Dead and badly diseased
limbs had better be removed as well
nS water sprouts and other limbs which
are crOwding into the center OF til"
tree. Pruning smoothly, close up and
parallel to the main branch facilitates
healing. ClOverland Magazine.

LIMESTONE WILL COR
RECT ACIDITY OF SOIL

Ny land is sOur-it won't produce
a good stand of clover. What can !
do to improve the condition?
The application of finely ground
limestone at the rate of one to three
tons per acre will correct this condi-
ton and make it possible to produce
good crops Of clover as we'll as better
stands of other crops.
Best quality ground limestone can
/ be laid down at stations in the county
at "A rate of S3.70 per ton. One of the
hig expenses in lining is the cost OF
hauling TO the farm. Because OF the
care Of hauling in late fall and WIN
ter and the lack of pressing work, these
are the best times TO ship in limestone
for soil correction.
There is a tester in this office fer
telling il soil is acid and about hoW
much lime it will take per acre to CO.
rect the acidity. This is for your ser
vice and we will be glad to test yonI
soil for acidity at any time.
In regard to Inning, want TO sec

a man is like old shoes, for instance
both have a soul to lose, both have
been tanned, both have been made
tight by cobblers, both need a mate

out they are mended, when men
wear out they are men dead, too.
Both in time are turned to mould,
both are tread upon, both have their
ties, both shine when polished and
both are due to peg out sometimes.

A NEW GRATING SYSTEM

1t is reported that a man is pick
ing up easy money in eastern Idaho
and evading the blue sky law in
the following manner:
There are lot Of defunct mining
companies in Iadho, whose capital
stock has little or no value and a
person can get it in liberal quantit-
les for little money. 1t would be
a violation of the blue sky law to
sell such stock, but they find way
to use it as collateral on a loan in
connection with other securities.
In a number of Idaho towns are
a large number of city lots lying out
in the common, yet they are on the
townsite and look good on paper and
as suburban residence sites. They
have yielded no returns to the own
ers in ten years, and cannot be sold
today for the original cost or any
thing near it. Some of the owners
have neglected to pay their taxes and
would sell for small sums.
A person buys up quantity of
lots in some such towns, goes to in
dividuals, who have little umbrella
money" the kind that is laid away
for a rainy day, tells a hard luck
story, offers to sell lot or some lots
at fair price, but gets turned down.
Then he seeks to borrow a lesser
amount on the real estate, giving a
first mortgage on it, and finally Of
fers collateral in the very beautiful
gilded mining stock which he would
not think of parting with If it were
not for the present great need of
money. The victim sees visions of
dividends on the mine, it seems a
novel experience to be a plutocratic
mining investor soon to be rated as a
lucky capitalist and he parts with
his money. He wants to spring a
surprise on his friends when the
dividends begin to come in, so he
keeps very still about it for a long
time The dividends never arrive
so he has another reason for keeping
still. In the meantime the CRATER
works the whole country and walks
off with the swag. The mining stock
is only scrap of paper and the cost
of foreclosing the mortgage on the
lots is annoying and tedious and the
whole investment is loss to him
and safe and satisfactory to the
borrower.
