glared from far off 1t was best to keep away
from the light. Nor was it advisable to come too
near to the station All kinds of unreliable per-
sons urged around there: detectives sheriffs
watchmen and such like parasites.
They felt an aching all over And SO they de-
cided to rest under tree
ooh yes, what's your name anyway ?-Nickles
asked.
"Joe, Joe vavas"-and he added: "I'm a Hun
garian"
"Ah, Hungarian That's nice. I'm Greek, and
my name is Cults Nickles."
Nickles had been living in America for ten
years. But to judge by his accent and his vocabu-
larry, one might well say that he was not longer
than two years in the country.
His life? Laundry, shoe-shinng, doll factory
soap making, steel mills milk carrying, street
struction, packing sugar New York. Pitts
burgh, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver and
always under train, never knowing where he was
going he could hardly give a proper ac
eventful life.
Joe Vavas had come to America one year later.
The last station of his LIES road was called Den
yer. He had landed in that city without cent,
and unshaven. 1t was in spring. At the street
corners there were Mexicans in blue overalls. He
also stopped at the street corner and waited for
good luck.
AS good luck didn't come to fetch him he decided
there and then to go look for it himself. He
tered thru Seventeenth street. And he really did
catch sight of a sign:
"For Purpose of instruction
FREE SHAVE HERE
For Everybody"
This was luck too, for he could thus save fifteen
cents. He went up one floor where he politely
offered his face and his head for practice.
And now while he was telling his friend about
all this his face became clouded he depicted that
narrowing half hour which gave him a cut-up face
and a half shorn head. The master who was giving
instruction asked him if he had work.
81 answered:
81 only came to this town a short time ago."
Thereupon he offered to teach him the trade.
That would give him chance to learn and get
wages while he was learning
"This offer looked very good to me"-Joe con-
tinued 81 didn't have any trade. And you can't
get along without trade. After that found out
what that school was for. And l found out it
wasn't such bad business to open barber school.
We was workin thirteen hours and even more.
We had to clean up the place. Two weeks after
that we was workin' even in the rush hour There
was more and more learners, they come up like
mushrooms. And what do you think happened?
In Denver the barbers apprentice got paid just
about as much the boss pleased wanted to
get away from the gang, but friend of mine
talked me out of it trade That's the
thing, trade. So stuck to it 4. That's
how learned trade"
Joe was evidently proud Of that.
And he added "And now can join union"

Clubbing Used to Avoid
Injury to Hens Comb

Dubbing to prevent freezing and suf-
fering due to frozen combs has been
practiced very successfully in the Pur-
due university poultry focks. Freez-
ing results in much suffering of the
birds and consequently loss in fertility
of eggs and Matching results. Dubbing
is not new but a remedy breeders of
fighting birds have always practiced
to prevent injuring of combs and to
conserve vigor of the males.
The operation is extremely simple
and a sharp razor is used first to cut
off the wattles and later to remove
the comb starting at the front end.
The wattles are cut quite close and the
comb reasonably close to the head.
The blood will flow freely but if body
fluff feather is held over cut part OF
the comb coagulation will soon take
place and the bleeding cease. Seldom
do the birds suffer from the operation
and free bleeding should cause no
worry. A treated bird should not
be placed in an extremely cold room
until the wound has healed nor should
they be placed together.
1t is we'll not to practice the opera
ton until after the birds have been Sc
lected for the breeding pen in order to
permit normal appearance of the mead
to be a guide in making selections.

Fruit of Concord Grape
Is Produced From Buds

The fruit of the Concord grape is
produced, almost entirely, from buds
on canes of the preceding seasons
growth. Nearly all the buds on growth
of that type will produce fruit-bearing
shoots, if the conditions for growth are
favorable the following spring. AS a
matter of fact, varying proportion of
the buds will lie dormant, owing to the
natural tendency of growth to start
from the tip of last years growth
rather than from the base. A small
portion of the shoots on the vine may
prove to be barren at harvest time.
Sometimes this condition is due to a
failure of the shoot to produce a bios
som cluster, but more often it seems to
be due to some accident or condition
that caused theloss of the cluster after
blooming time.

Properly Pruned Fruit
Trees Most Economical

Fruit trees properly pruned from the
year they are set in the orchard until
they have passed their age Of useful
ness will produce more and better fruit
than the imprinted or improperly
pruned ones. They will produce fruit
more economically because pruning ia
ciIitates the culture, spraying, thin
ming of the fruit, and even the future
pruning.
Pruning consists in the removal Of
superfluous parts of trees in order to
assist in the control and direction of
remaining parts and to facilitate other
orchard practices. Trees to produce
good crops economically must be Wig
orous, large, strong and spreading. 1t
is the vigorous trees that produce an
nual crops. 1t is the large, vigorous
and strong trees that produce large
annual crops with the least breakage
and the least need Of propping. 1t is
the large, vigorous, strong, spreading
trees that produce large annual crops
OF fruit carrying the best combination
of size and color.

Good Plan for Heading
Back Young Apple Tree

Young apple trees should be headed
back to about 20 to 80 inches from the
ground. If it is a one-year-old tree
then all that is necessary is to cut ON
the top the desired height. Ii 1t is
two-year-old tree then the central lead
er should be removed and from three
to FIVE lateral branches retained, these
being cut back to about to 10 inches.
In each case the lateral branches
should be cut to an outside bud, In
order to cause the tree to spread prop
erly. After the tree has passed Its
third year about all that is necessary
is to take out interfering branches and
keep the tree from becoming too dense.
If the tendency is for the tree to pro-
duce long slender branches, then these
should be shortened in the same way
that peach limbs are shortened in, un-
til the tree begins to fruit, after which
time little pruning will be necessary
with the exception Of thinning out the
interfering branches.

SEED TREATMENT Is
SAVING FOR FARMERS
Sprinkling Method for Oats,
Wheat and Rye Is Easily
Performed.

Wisconsin farmers lose nearly mill
lion bushels of oats a year through
smut, nearly half a million bushels
of barley through smut and stripe, and
thousands of bushels of wheat and rye
from preventable plant diseases.
Through seed treatment before
planting these losses can be almost
entirely eliminated, says r. e.
Vaughan, the man who treats the ag-
ricultural college seed grain
Often a farmer does not know that
smut is reducing the YIELD of his crops.
If Is to 20 per cent of the grain in q
field is not smutty, it is almost inn
possible to discover the presence Of
the smut unless a special trip is made
in the field to look for it. The smut
ted plants do not grow so tall, there
fore they are not noticeable from a
distance.
The sprinkling method for the treat
ment of oats, wheat and rye can be
easily performed and it is very sat
isfactory. A clean barn floor is need
must be placed in a pile and then
sprinkled with a formaldehyde solu-
ton. This solution is made by mix
ing one pint of 40 per cent formalde-
hyde, (which can be obtained at any
drug store, with 50 gallons of water.
AS the solution is sprinkled on the
seed, using about one gallon to the
bushel, the grain is shoveled over
thoroughly to make sure of uniform
wetting. The grain is then shoveled
on a pile, covered with sacks and al
lowed to drain for two hours AS
soon as the seed will run freely it
may be SOWn
A simple method for the treatment
of oats is known as the dry method.
One pint of 40 per cent formaldehyde
is mixed with one pint of water. This
solution is placed in a common. hand
sprayer and is sprayed on the oats
while it is being shoveled over on a
clean canvas floor. The sprayer must
be held close to the grain One quart
is enough for 40 to so bushels of
oats. Although the oats must be piled
and covered for five hours, there is
no danger of freezing or heating. Be
cause the grain is not swollen the
seeding rate does not need to be in
creased, as it does when the sprinkling
method is used. Whenever the seed
is sown while it is swollen the seeder
should be set to sow three-fourths
busheI more oats to an acre than the
usual amount.

EARM EAC.TS1e:,

One good apple suggests another
to the consumer.
It's time to prune the grapevines
if you want the largest yields and the
finest fruit.
The presence of certain weeds, such
as sour dock or yellow sorrel, indicate
an acid condition.
A grease coating on plowshares and
mold board comes off a great deal
easier than a rust coating.
If your caulifiower didn't pan out as
an early summer crop, try fall plant
ing. Sometimes it doesn't do well early
In the season.
In small gardens where intensive
fertilizing and cultivation is simple,
the rows need not be as far apart as
in larger gardens. Eighteen inches Is
ample for most of the vegetables.
The taller growing vegetables, such
as corn and pole beans are usually
placed toward the westerly portion of
the garden, because they will cast
shade then only during the hottest
norton of the day.

Do Not Plant Trees Too
Close in Home Orchards

Standard trees placed at standard
distances are better for the small
home orchard than dwarfs or crowded
trees, said Prof. Joseph Oskamp OF
the pomoiogy department Of the New
York State College Of Agriculture on
February 8, at Farmers week. Filler
trees or small fruits can be planted
the standard trees for early returns,
he says, as apple trees should be
planted 40 or so feet apart.
Most growers are inclined to plant
too much, and discourage themselves
by the size Of their orchard, says Pro
lessor Oskamp. One tree of each va
riety is sufficient, or even one tree on
which has been top-grafted two or
three other varieties.
Small fruits may be grown with less
trouble by one who desires fruit for
home use Strawberries, red raspber-
ries, purple canes, blackcaps and X
blackberries, with few gooseberries
and currants make up q good small
garden for home fruits.
Nearly all red raspberries in New
York state are infected with mosaic
disease, according to Professor o.
kamp, and anyone planning to plant
them should first consult the New
York Fruit Testing association at Ge-
neva. Professor Oskamp states that it
is not generally wise policy to trust
all travelling tree agents who call at
your door, but it Is better to get your
plants through an old and reliable nur-
sery.
Yellow Transparent Is one Of the
best early varieties of apple. This can
be followed by Early Harvest Red
Astrachan, Sweet Bough, and McIn-
tosh, Rhode Island Greening and

rieties for winter storage.

PLI\I[. Try
PURE BRED POULTRY
MOST PROFITABLE

1t is often said that pure bred locks
are more profitable than mongrels ana
there is every reason to believe that
they are; but there is one provision
that must be taken into consideration /;
namely, pure bred poultry must be
better cared for than are mongrels.
Those who do not intend to care fer
pure breds properly should stick to
mongrels, but given care and attention
pure breds will repay doubly for it as
compared with the mcngrels
There are reasons, says ID. ii. Hail,
extension poultry husbandman OF
Clemson college
Pure bred poultry will produce a
uniform product and will bring a
higher price. The eggs from pure
breds are uniform in size, shape and
color When eggs from pure bre!ds
do vary the variation is considerably
less than from mongrels.
Pure breds are faster growers and
when grown produce more uniform
flock. There is not better advertise
ment for farm than flock OF pure
bred chickens. They will attract more
attention than any other form OF live
stock.
Pure breds will also lay more eggs
If properly handled. This has been
proved beyond all doubt by various
experiment stations.
Pure bred poultry is also more eco
nomical with feed consumption. They
lay more eggs, hence they pay more
for their feed and give higher profit,
Pure bred stock and eggs can be
sold for breeding purposes. This will
be a good source Of income for the
pure bred breeder. Mongrels and
mongrel eggs can be sold only for mar
ket prices.
Pure breds can be exhibited In
poultry shows and thus compete for
prizes. There is nothing like blue
ribbon from poultry show. Mongrels
cannot be placed in show for prizes.
Pure breds will create interest In
poultry. Who is the enthusiast about
poultry in any community? Why, the
farmer with the pure bred, of course.
Why are you not enthusiastic about
your poultry? If you have mongrels
that may be the reason. Get pure
breds and be proud of them.
