Pruning Apple Trees to
Make Profitable Gains

For several years an experiment
was carried on at the horticultural
station at vineland, Ont, to determine
whether summer or winter pruning Of
apple trees gives best results. There
has also been a comparison with trees
that are not pruned. The summer
pruning consisted of thinning out In
August when growth Is ceasing and
the maturing Of wood commences.
The conclusions drawn are that the
lighter the pruning, the greater the
growth, the earlier the tree comes in
to bearing, and the heavier the yield
during the early period Of the trees
life at least. But although the un-
pruned trees have made the greatest
gains to date, the lightly summer
pruned trees are very little, II any,
behind, especially when the increased
cost of spraying, picking, growing
lack OF color, and the general un-
desirable condition of the tree for
future crops are considered. To re-
deem such an unpruned orchard would
necessarily retard Its crops for a
period and thus the earlier gains
from no pruning would possibly be
lost.
Light annual pruning just sufficient
to retain the proper shape Of the tree
to allow sunlight and air to get
through and to keep out all crossed
and broken branches, seems, therefore
TO be the proper method to pursue
for the young orchard until It comes
into bearing. After bearing age 'is
reached, pruning will likely have to
be more severe so az to maintain a
proper supply Of new wood each year.
What constitutes severity Of pruning
will, Of course, vary with the variety

Practical Suggestions
Given for Silo Filling
Must Use Corn at the Right
State of Maturity.

It Is Important to I'LL the silo wher
the corn is exactly at the right state
of maturity, that Is, when the grain
is In the dent and glazed, but car

Under average conditions, the two bot
tom leaves will be turned brown and
the shucks will be turning yellow al
the ends.
p. There Is more danger Of putting
the silage In too dry than too moist
With stave silo the hoops should be
tightened up so as to exclude the ali
and generally loosened a little after
the silage swells the slaves.
The corn should not be cut down
too far ahead or 1t will dry out. II
will take at least six teams to keep
the average silo-cutter busy. The
silage should be well tramped in order
to exclude the air. 1t should be kept
higher at the walls than In the GEN.
ter. At least two men In the silo are
necessary when a distributor is not
used. II is advisable to use concrete
tampers to pack the silage. This pre-
vents molds from developing. The
silage should be cut into pieces one
half to three-fourths inch long to make
1t pack well and save waste In feed
ing. This takes more power, but 1t Is
worth II.
The silage should feel wet after II
Is put into the silo. If corn Is very
mature when cut and Is therefore dry,
add water. small stream may be
run into the blower from a barrel or
tank. The blower should be run a
few minutes each morning to clear
out the air before anyone enters the
silo.
Shock corn may be put into the silo
II water Is added at the rate of one
pound of water for each pound OF
shock corn. II may be advisable,
under certain conditions, II the high
price Of corn continues, to shuck out
the corn and put the stalks into the
silo. There is no objection to begin
ming to feed as soon as the silo Is filed.
This prevents waste through spoilage

No definite cost can be given for
sllo filling, as II depends upon variable
factors, such as the distance from the
field to the silo, weather conditions.
the efficiency Of the machinery and the
men. The cost will be somewhere be-
tween 81 and 81 per ton. Probably
about SLIPS would be a fair average.

Cocklebur Poison
Menace to Stock
Swine Particularly Suscepti-
BILE, but Other Farm Ami
mails Also Injured.
prepared BY the United States Department

prepared By the United States Department
OF AGrfcuiture.)
Live stock running on pasture infest-
ed with young cockleburs Is liable to
be poisoned, investigations by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture show. This is particularly true OF
swine. but also cattle and sheep, and
especially In the Mississippi Valley and
Great Plains states. Young pigs up to
two months of age are more suscepti-
BILE than other stock, although occa-
sional reports of cocklebur poisoning of
other animals have been coming to
workers In the pathological division of
the bureau Of animal industry, where
the investigations of stock poisoning
by plants are carried on.
Amount OF Dose.
There seems to be considerable vari-
alton In the quantity Of cockleburs
necessary to poison, but In general the
dose that causeC poison Is not far from
one and one-ha1f pounds Of the green
plant to 100 pounds of animal. Appar-
emily there is little difference between
the dose that causes only sickness aud
the dose that kills. The symptoms Of
poisoning are depression, nausea ac-
companied with vomiting, rapid and
weak pulse, and a low temperature.
The symptoms appear within "a hours
after the plant is eaten and commonly
last only few hours Since II Is only
the young plant, before the formation
Of leaves, that is poisonous, cases Of
poisoning may occur at any time when
young plants are found. These cases
begin In the latter part Of winter In
the Southern states and somewhat la
ter in the Northern states, while the
losses may be spread over several
months.
Best Remedy.
The best remedy, Of course. Is to
keep stock away from the young
cocklebur plants, especially when there
Is scarcity Of feed or when the ami
mails are very hungry. The plant may
be exterminated In good many areas,
but since 1t is an annual there Is usu-
ally a crop the second year from seed
that failed to germinate the preceding
season. The department has not rec
commended any special medicinal rene
dies, but when milk is given to affected
animals they recover or when sailed

OLD CUSTOMS SEEM CURIOUS
Common Plates ans Cups Were Once
Shared-Fouoht for the
Biggest Share.

Noble families in England In the
Middle Ages shared common plates
and cups. used fingers instead of
forks, licked their plates, wiped their
teeth on the tablecloth, and scram-
bled for the largest portion, says the
Detroit News. Books on etiquette Is
sued in the Fifteenth century pointed
out that these things were not good
manners. The art Of cooking In the
Middle Ages flourished, however,
cooks excelling at artistic and rich
confectionery.
Dancing In medieval times was true
to Its name. Dancers really moved
with nimbleness and agility instead
of slowly posturing round the room In
the manner of modern dancers. The
noble and his family and servants
lived and slept in the great hall of the
castle, with next to no privacy. A
better state Of things evolved gradual
ly, more rooms being added and more
windows put In, insuring greater se-
clusion for the lord and his family.

Peach Tree Borers Are
Troublesome in Orchard

BOrers are very troublesome when
they get a start In the orchard. Peach
tree borers can soon injure, a tree
very seriously. 1t is true that trees
infested with borers may live and
bear a few years after they are in
tested with these pests, but such trees
begin to fail and soon die.
Early fall is good time to look
for peach tree borers. If they are de-
stroyed In the fall no further trouble
will be had till the next brood begins
in late spring.
Examine the trunks Of the trees. II

trunks Of the trees and the roots, un-
less the tree has had a mechanical
Injury, you may conclude with a good
deal Of proof that there are borers.
Look for them. They are little white
worms" and may be found readily.
The best way to destroy borers is
to take sharp knife and cut them
out and destroy them. 1t may be nee
essary to scrape away the surface soil
and look into the roots near the sur
face, as these pests are likely to bore
into roots.
Good results have been obtained by
digging out little trench In the
ground around the tree about a half
inch from the trunk of the tree and
pouring carbon bisulphide In the
trench and covering 1t quickly. The
fumes Of the gas will kill the insects.
But care must be taken not to let any
Of the liquid carbon blsulphide touch
the roots Of the tree, as It is likely to
kill the tree. This is not very expen-
sive, as 1t does not take much carbon
bisulphide to use around one tree.

Tho seeming truth which CUNNING
times put on
To entrap the wisest."
The Merchant Of Venice.
Little evil is done In the world by
obvious untruth; the danger Is from
untruth that passes for truth. People
do not willingly believe lie. Early in
life children ask Of tales told them, as
It true7' They continue to ask the
same thing all their hives.
II is not. however, always easy to
learn what is true. Some Of the an
clients said truth lived at the top of
very steep mountain: others said she
lived at the bottom Of a well. No
matter which dwelling place was
ascribed to her, all acknowledge that
1t was difficult to catch glimpse of
her. Whether we climb to truth by
hard mental labor or dig for truth
among the thoughts of other men. truth
will never be found without work and
inconvenience.
Emerson said: "God offers to every
mind Its choice between truth and re-
pose. Take which you please, you can
never hive both. Between these, as a
pendulum. man oscillates ever. He In
WON the love of repose predomlnates
will accept the first creed, the first
philosophy. the first political party he
meets, most likely his fathers. He gets
rest, commodity and reputation; but
he shuts the door Of truth. He in whom
the love Of truth predominates sub
mits to the inconvenience of suspense
and imperfect opinions"
When we look about us the earth
seems fiat. Hills and mountains seem
to rest upon II as objects on a table.
For centuries the wisest men believed
the earth was fiat and so taught their
pupils. The seeming truth Of the
worlds shape was disproved less than
five centuries ago. When the truth Of
a simple physical fact, such as the
earth's shape, was so hard to come at,
II is small wonder that the truth of
facts involving human actions and the
truth Of ideas and opinions Is 80 diff
dcult to learn.
We are wont to look upon history as
truth; but Carlyle defined history as
"a distillation Of rumor." and Ma
poleon defined Il as "a fable agreed
upon" While voltaire. writing upon
one phase Of history, pointed out: $50
many hidden causes are associated at
times with the apparent cause so
many unknown springs may be at
work In the persecution of a man that
1t is impossible, centuries afterward,
