A COUPLE OF FOOLS.
The biggest fool pair that the writer
has heard of In a long time .be ran
across the other day. The man had a
small bouse and an acre of ground
worth some $730 and was sparking a
half baked girl, who said she would
marry bim if he would buy an auto
mobile. He fell to this and swapped
his place for a machine and (100,
which won't last a great while In de
fraying gasoline and repair bill. This
ninn, though Industrious, Is but a day
Ittborer, and Just wlmt he and this girl
of his will do next winter in a rented
house If labor should be scarce It Is
rather appalling to contemplate. And
yet we suppose they will be happy as
larks with this auto, and If they don't
worry about the future perhaps othess
ought not to.

PRUNING YOUNG TREES.
A reader of these notes who recently
set out some small trees asks for some
suggestions In regard to pruning them
t l4k 1 vAuf fkaiiltcs In ss tmn.
. SV 09 IV T. ';nil I KSW. M et1-
o W . era wtty it may be said that this early
1100 pruning that given during the first
four or five years of the tree's life is
by far the most Important In the first
place, one should keep In mind that
the most Important result of this prun
Ing Is to give the tree the proper bead
or frame on which Its Inter growth
and strength end usefulness are to
depend. To give this It Is well to trim
one-year-old trees (strnlght whips) to
a height of from eighteen to twenty-
four Inches. Personally the writer
trims both apple and pear trees at the
point where the knee strikes In pass
ing. A number of side branches will
grow from this stub, and the following
season these should be thinned to five
of the strongest growing at nearly
equal distances from one another and
cut back at least a half of their length
and to ontsldo if the tree tins an up
right habit and to Inside buds If It has
a decidedly spreading habit Tho di
rections Just given will apply . to
branched two-year-old trees that were
got from the nursery this spring and
to two-year-old trees set last year that
were not pruned at alt. The aim In
all this pruning should be to give a
sturdy symmetrical frame end to have
the union which the branches make
with the trunk as strong ss possible;
hence no limb .should P kit which In
TTave things sll shipshape around
the poultry yard, so the hens will bo
bringing lu the profits from their eggs
while you are making the field crops
iwy.
Most farms could bo mndo much
neater in sppeurance and considerable
valuei added to their buildings and
fences by the use of tho pulut brush
about this time of tho year.
A friend reports the loss of several
litters of pigs when the sows were
halfway through their period of gesta
tion 11s the result of their getting hold
of a piantlty of moldy silage which
was thrown out. This Is hut one of
several instances which have been re
ported lately where loss of little pigs
ha resulted from this cause. This ex
perience Is a somewhat costly one, but
its lesson is well wurtli learning.
The dilute solution of lime-sulphur
has been found un excellent substitute
for tho bordeaux mixture In the spray
ing of vine, bush mid trco fruits, but
as a fungicide for potatoes It has not
been found satisfactory. Experiment
carried ou last year by the Xew York
station showed that potato vines that
were sprayed with lime-sulphur were
stunted as a result and that tho yield
uf tubers was materially reduced.
A prety good fish Btory comes from
Boston to the effect that a fisherman
named Johil Mouse hauled a lob
ster alvoard the oilier day three feet
long and weighing In the neighborhood
of ten pounds. It had claw eighteen
Inches .ong and Is thought to have
been at least twenty-live years old.
The lobster attacked the man on U-Ing
hauled Into the boat, but was put out
of business with an oar after biting
the legs of his captor.
A record potato vine is reported by 4
a resident of Lewis county. Wash. It
was eight feet long and weighed forty-four
pounds, while the potatoes
from it weighed twenty-nine pounds.
Next to the npple, the strawberry Is
the most generally growu of American
fruits nnd, from the standpoint of rev
enue derived from its cultivation, also
ranks next to the apple In Importance.
Sweet peas are vigorous feeders on
plant food and will be the more lux
uriant If they are watered after they
are well up with dilute manure wa
ter or are given a mulch of well rotted
manure.
The late session of the Iowa legisla
ture Increased the bounty on wolves
from $3 to $-'0. .This may serve to
lessen the tendency to allow the old
ones to live In order that the bounty
on the whelps might be secured.
Cows should never be fed exclusively
on silage, but should have somo dry
forage fed with It Sllago Is a carlio
nacti..s food nnd should have some
more nitrogenous food to go with it In
order to make a better balanced ration.
' According to figures lately Issued by
the bureau of statistics at Washing
ton, the ittut nt living was higher dur
ing the closing months of 11)12 than
for any period during the preceding
twenty-three years. In 1SK) the cost
of a year's food supply for an average
worUugtiian's family was S'J'.m'.; In

these figures It Is clear that there has

The slugs that often skeletonize the
leaves of pear and cherry tree may tie

trees with commercial arsenate of lead
dissolved In water ut the rate of two
(Kiutids to fifty gallon or. If the trees
are low, by dusting tliem with flue
