growing season promotes frultfulness;
and, since our trees tend to overbear,
it is logical for us to prune during
Che dormant season.
Although it is said that pruning dur-
ing the summer season may encour-
age the formation of frutt buds on
tardy bearing varieties, it may have
Che opposite effect, unless done at the
proper time, and may cause late
growth and unirultfulness. To give
the desired results one must summer-
prune shortly before the season of
growth ends; earlier pruning starts
new growth, while late pruning gives
no results. The benefit derived from
summer pruning seems to depend upon
the ability of the pruner to prune at

« io place in the catalogue of pruning
Transplanting Trees.
Mark off the places where each Is
€« stand. Dig a hole fully three feet
wide and one foot deep. Pill this half
full of top soil. Then put In a good
shovel of well-rotted stable manure.
Stir this thoroughly with the soil
already thrown In Set the tree on
Chls mitxure and fill up with top soil.
If the soil, or the trees, are dry, wafr
should be pourod In when the roots
are partly covercd.
Tho water will setllo the soil among
Che roots and the trees will live. To
protect from rabbll% tie a small bunch
".of straw or paper around the trees
<n the fall and remove it In the spring.
Spraying Apple Tr+*§.
<3rowers who wish to spray their
apple trees thoroughly make about
four applications—tho first as the leaf
finds are unfolding, the second Just

(Ju; fourth one ton days to two weeks
Inter. There Is a growing sentiment
In fnvor of still nnther application
Cater In the season to catch the later
f rood of (ho codling inotb
tools. The pruner needs a good saw,
a good pair of light shears, a pair ot
heavy thews, possibly a good heavy
knife, and, of course, a good ladder.
Two octnmon types of saws are found
on tho market. The common saw with
teeth on both edges is a good, cheap
one and will answer the purpose In
many cases.
A.discussion of the amount of prun-
ing required by different varieties
could almost as well be Introduced as
those on the pruning of different kinds
of fruit trees. Yet, the growth of
the tree, and necessarily the pruning,
depends much upon soil conditions;
and. while It might be possible, It
would hardly be safe to lay down
definite rules for the .pruning of any
particular variety. Both the Winesan
and Missouri (Pippin) may be classed
as prollllc varieties that require se-
vere pruning. The Jonathan, at the
age of 11 or 12 years, almost Invari-
ably begins to grow spindling in the
top and requires fr-squent cutting hack.
In the general growth and fruiting
habit of the tree tne apricol occupies
a ptraitlon between the cherry and the
peach. The fruit buds are developed
in the axils of leaves on both shortened
spur-like twigs and the stronger grow-
ins new wood These fruiting spurs
o. the apricot differ from those of
the cherry /n that they develop no
true terminal buds
The manner ot pruning cherries will
depend somewhat on the variety, but
the general plan should be to keep
the fruiting area of the tree as near
the ground as possible; to shade thel
trunk, to prevent sun-scald, and to en-
courage the growth of fruiting wood
throughout the entire top. The sweet
and semi-sweet varieties are upright
growers and will need some heading
in to keep them within bounds

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE FARMER
Keep hoes sharp with a file.
Gather up the brush and burn it
promptly.
Calf pens should be arranged with
a view to having plenty of sunlight.
It is a fair estimate that 10(f"well-
fed hens will, in a year, provide ma-
nure equal in value to about half a
ton of a high-grade fertilizer.
Nothing is more productive of rich,
good blood early in the summer than
a bountiful supply of fresh, crisp vege-
tables.
Keep a few cats in the barns and
give them milk at each milking. They
will destroy the rats which eat the
grain that lays in the barn, and so on.
Fine cut clover hay, cooked and
steeped in boiling water, and mixed
with salt, bran and oatmeal, is an
excellent feed for all kinds of young
stock.
If you want to get the full capacity
Out of your horses without injury, use
moderation at the beginning of every
task imposed upon them.
A lot of common sense Is necessary
in the management of the herd. Good
breeding, good feeding, good shelter
and good water—make a good combi-
nation.
Pay an occasional friendly visit tc
the little trees set this spring. Rub
off unnecessary sprouts; and mak«
sure that no label wires have been
left on the trees to choke them.
If you are working for eggs be care-
ful to select the most vigorous blfdi
for ^winter layers. Market all the rest
as brollois. Weaklings are no account
as egg producers.
The great majority of men fail be-
cause they do not work hard enough
or intelligently enough. They are
content to do what is set before them,
and thej do it fairly well, but thej
do not do it supremely well.
Shaping the Tree.
The shaping of a tree should b«
done when It Is young The practicc
of allowing useless limbs to grow onlj
to be sawed or chopped off when tha
tree is large Is a mistake, as every
undesirable limb grown deprives the
other limbs of so much food anJ
nourishment.

from east to west.
The Open-Top Tree.
It Is not necessary to go over the
tree trying to cut off every little twig
The leaders are the ones that need at-
tention. When heading In these lead
ers It Is best to cut them off to a sid*
branch, rather than to a dormant bud.
Frequently when an Inexperienced
man practices headingin, he in
tempted to shear the tree all ovet
and leave It a smooth, oval form. It
will be seen that this Is very differoni
from the method most Ir. practice,
where only the leaders are cut bad;
and the side shoots thinned so as In
leave an open top. The amount o
headlng-In to be done should van
from year to year, according as th
crop promises to be large or smau
As the trees gets older loss heading
In Is usually necessary.

Wat Soon Cured of Dread Humor.
"I contracted eczema and suffered
Intensely for about ten months. At
tlmei I thought I would scratch my-
self to pieces. My face and arms were
covered with large re«. patches, so
that I was ashamed to go out. , I was
advised to go to a doctor who was
a specialist in skin diseases, but I
received very little relief. I tried
avery known remedy, with the same
results. I thought I would never get bet
ter until a friend of mine told me to try
the Cuticura Remedies. So I tried them,
and after four or fivo applications oi
Cutioura Ointment I was relieved of
my unbearable Itching. I used two
sets of the Cuticura Remedies, and I
am completely cured. Miss Barbara

HOME TE8TINQ
A Sure and Easy Test on Coffes.
To decide the all important ques-
tion of coffee, whether or not it Is
really the hidden cause of physical
ails and approaching fixed diseases,
one should make a teBt ef ten days by
leaving off coffee entirely and using
well-made Postum.
If relief follows you may know to
a certainty that coffee has been
your vicious enemy. Of course you
can take it back to your heart again,
if you like to keep sick.
A lady says; "I had suffered with
stomach trouble, nervousness and ter-
rible sick headaches ever since I was
a little child, for my people were al-
ways great coffee drinkers and let us
shlldren have all we wanted. I got
jo 1 thought I could not live without
coffee, but I would not acknowledge
that It caused my suffering.
"Then I read so many articles about
Postum that I decided to give it a fair
trial. I had not used it two weeks In
place of coffee until I began to feel
like a different person. The headache
and nervousness disappeared and
whereas I used to be sick two or three
dayB out of a week while drinking cof-
fee I am now well and strong and
sturdy seven days a week. thankB to
Postum.
"I had been using Postum three
months and had never been sick a
day when I thought I would expert
ment and see If. it really was coffee
that caused the trouble, so 1 began
to drink coffee again and Inside of a
week I had a sick spell. I was so ill
I was soon convinced that coffee was
the cause of all my misery and I went
back to Postum with the result that
I was soon well and strong again and
lntormlned to stick to Postum and
leave coffee alone In the future."

Laundry work at home would be

Starch were used, in order *o get the
desired Btlffnoss, It Is usually neces-

beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear-

ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as It can be applied
