He could see his reflection in the

heavy doors-a portrait of a mediocre.
average man. An average respectable
face, growing a little old and worn,
yet satisfactory face. Not weak.
Well preserved, the face of a good

Thumper fairly kicked his heels for

said he. "These blessed little snow
flakes will save us, they will if they
come fast enough. The thing for
us to do now is to run and run and
run SO as to get as far ahead of
Shadow the Weasel as we can. We
must do it so as to give the blessed
little snowfiakes time to cover up
cur trail"
Old Jed Thumper started off lip.
perty-lipperty-lip and Peter kept
right at his heels, The snowfiakes
were falling thick and fast now. 1t
wouldn't take them long to cover
the trail of Peter and Old Jed Thum-
per. Old Jed Thumper was wise
enough to know that Shadow the
Weasel would know this and that he
would do his best to catch them be-
fore their trail was so covered that
he could no longer follow it.
We've got to run our very best
ncw," said Old Jed Thumper over
his shoulder to Peter. Peter nodded,
and bounded along right at the heels
of the big gray Rabbit in front of
him.
Half way around that circle in
which they had been running Old
Jed Thumper made a flying leap off
to one side, and then started off
faster than ever, lpperty- lipperty
lip, toward another part of the Old
Pasture. Peter followed with just
the same kind of a flying leap. The
snowflakes came Kissing down
through the leafIess bushes. Bythis
time they were coming so thick
and fast that it was hard to see
ahead at all. But Old Jed Thumper
knew every foot of the Old Pasture.
He didn't hesitate a second. Peter
ran his hardest to keep that bobbing
white tail of Old Jed's in sight.
Old Jed Thumper had been right
about Shadow the Weasel. When he
saw the nrsc snowflake he knew that
he must catch one of those Rabbits
quickly or he would be too late. So
he, too, began to run with all his
might. In a few minutes 1T was
harder to follow that trail. Shadow
snarled with anger as he galloped
along. So at length he came to the
place where Old Jed Thumper and
Peter had leaped to one side. He
overran this because he could still
get a faint scent where the two
Rabbits had left it the first time
around the circle. But he didn't go
far before he discovered hiss mis-
take. Then he went back, with his
nose to the snow, and ran this way
and that way on both sides of the
trail. But by this time the blessed
little snowf1akes had covered up the
trail completely. Shadow snarled
with rage that the hunt was at an
end.

would like to know how to pre-
vent them shedding fruit.
Doubtless, you are not spraying
the apple trees TO which you refer.
and a close examination will show
YOU that most of the apples which
fall off have been stung probably
by what is known as "curculio."
other diseases or insects may be re-
sponsible for the loss of the fruit
as well. The only way to protect
your trees, therefore, is to spray
them properly and perslstently
throughout the growing season. If
you do this, we believe you will
reap a good harvest of desirable
fruit.
Probably your trees need to be
pruned. We have a habit, as you
doubtless know, of neglecting our
fruit trees. Very likely they need
to be we'll fortified. From ten to
fifteen pounds of fertilizer scattered
around the base of each tree would
no doubt, prove very beneficial. The
fertilizer should not come in contact
with the trunk. 1t should be work
ed into the soil. 1t should contain
3 per cent nitrogen, 10 per cent
phosphoric acid and about per cent
potash. If the heads of the trees
are dense and too much branched so
that the light does not get in, prune
a part of the Unnecessary wood out,
This work may be undertaken at
once.
The following represents the best
procedure for you to follow in the
matter of spraying your apple trees:
For curculio. scale and other in
sects, spray at once with concen-
trated lime-sulphur solution of the
strength degrees Baume. When
the buds are bursting, spray with
lime sulphur, degree Baume. To
each fifty gallons of this material,
one pound of powdered arsenate of
lead should be added. This treatment
is for the apple scab, curculio and
bud moth. Within a week after the
petals fall, spray again with lime
sulphur and arsenate Of lead of ex-
act1y the same strength. This is
to control the coddling moth, scab
and curculio. The third spraying
with the same mixture should be
done about three weeks after the
petals fall. This treatment is to Pre-
tect, your fruit against coddling
moth. scab, curculio. leaf spot and
sooty blotch. Eight weeks after the
petals have fallen spray with Bor-
deaux mixture of the strength, 4-6-
so, with one pound of powdered ar
senate of lead, per fifty gallons of
spray. This spray controls the sec.
ond- brood of coddling moth. scab,
blotch and bitter rot. People who
are raising fruit of a desirable quail
ty for home and market, are ac-
complishing this end by persistent
spraying and care of the fruit trees
as indicated above. You may pur-
chase the materials recommended in
a form all ready to dissolve in water
and use according to directions.
