PRUNE THE TREES AND VINES
Trimming and Spraying Only SURE
Way to Obtain Good Crops
Free From Disease.

Fruit trees and vines must be
,pruned as well as sprayed, at the
proper time. Growers cannot hope
to obtain fruit from trees and vines
that are neglected In this respect
and such treatment Is necessary every
year.
The early springtlme Is regarded as
the best time to do this job, which
should be done with the greatest of
care, to save injury to the trees and
vines.
If one Is not experienced In the art,
1t would be well to get information
from someone who knows otherwise
valuable tree or vine may be ruined,
or put out Of possible bearing.
Spraying requires equal If not
more knowledge than pruning There
are so many diseases of fruit trees
and vines that one must be wen
versed in the subject to apply fhn
proper spray at the proper time
Many trees and vines fail to prcd,.Y /.
because Of being thoroughly SAT-
rated with disease

TO HAVE FINE ROSE BLOOMS
Cut Away All Surplus Wood When
Trimming tho Bush Early
in tho Spring.

In the spring, dormant roses which
were set in the fall should be cut
back, leaving only two or three stems
with four or five eyes on each. This
will leave them inches or less In
length. When dormant roses are
planted in the spring they should be
pruned at the time of planting. leav-
ing four or five on stem.
After the first year, the pruning
should be done as soon as freezing
weather Is over. says the United
States Department Of Agriculture. In
regions where roses never suffer from
cold 1t may be done In the fall. All
weak wood and crossing branches
should be removed every year. For
greatest mass Of bloom only one-third
to one-half Of the shoots should be
cut away.

disposed of at any time, and all stones
removed. If there are enough stones
present, they might be placed In neat
and attractive piles and either flowers
or vines of some sort run over them
next season. If the vacant lot Is near
enough to the house, 1t can be spaded
and all other work done ut odd times.
During the winter months 1t Is well
to study the seed catalogues and make
up an order of seeds, including per-
haps 10 to Is different kinds Of veg
etables. To this should be added
list Of four or five Towering plants,
such as zinnias, cockscomb, scarlet
sage and nasturtium, to be used for
border plants. Snap beans, lima
beans, tomatoes, onions, cabbage, car
rOts, swiss chard, spinach, radishes and
lettuce are among the most impor-
tant crops for the small garden. Where
space will permit early Irish potatoes,
sweet corn, summer squash, musk
melons, cucumbers and pumpkins may
be included. 1t Is far better, how
ever, in the small garden to plant not
more than 10 or IL of the most impor-

HAD WEALTH, BOUGHT A FORD

Armored Ford cars as bandi
chasers are the latest police inova
ton. ~,
Gen. Smedley D. Butler, Phila
delphia's dynamic commissioner
public safety, is the man who intro
duced them.
Before he took office a few week
back, the Philadelphia city counc1
voted General Butler 5000, VIII
which to purchase an automobile 10
his personal use.
But when statesmen for high-pricet
cars appeared and tried to interes
him, he made it plain that he IN
tended to spend the money in pur
chasing small, light cars for use al
bandit chasers by the police depart
ment
The Ford runabout was his choice
and 1t wasn't long before an enter
prising Ford salesman had cal
ready for the generals inspection.
Now the Philadelphia police have
six of these armored Ford cars and
under General Buffers plan this
number will shortly be augmented
until there will be ninety such bandit
chasers in service.
The entire shell of the body, is
lined with 1-8 inch special steel ana
the space between the armOr plating
and the outside of the car is packed
with loose cotton and coarse hair to
retard the velocity of bullets. Armor
plate also covers the cowl and runs
up as high as the lower portion OF
the windshield. The upper portion
nj hnIIQf-nT00I
glass and wind-wings have been pro-
vided on either side, these also OF
glass.
The Ford engines are specially
equipped to afford increased speed
and tests made show some interest
ing results. In one test to show &C
celebration and power developed for
hill climbing, a mile was covered IN
one minute and thirty-one seconds
from a standing start. On country
road the car attained speed OF more
han sixty miles an hour and IN a
,ity street test covered 2,S28 Rect
It a speed of approximately seventy
niles an hour.
Z Ford cars have been in use by po-
ice departments all over the country
or years and recently there has been
rapidly Increasing tendency In the
anger cities to use them in place OF
motorcycles since they are less con-
picuous and afford greater protec-
ion and comfort. Portland, ore, Is
ne of the largest cities to adopt the
ord cars to replace motorcycles and
ow has twenty-three of them In OPP
ration. Cleveland Heights, o., ana
