Thla man. though Industrious, is but a day laborer, and Just what he and this girl of Ills will do next winter In a rented house If labor should bo scarce It Is rattier appalling to contemplate.

A reader of those notes who recently 27 00 1 ''t out Home small trees asks for some 12 50 ' uBScstloii In regard to pruning them so as to give tiest results. In a trim- 00. em way it may be said thnt this erirly 11 00 1 pruning that given during the flrst 101 00' or "ve fcaTn ' tl,e tree' life 1 ! by far the most Important In the flrst 11 25 place, one should keep In mind thnt 5 00 the most Important result of this prun ing Is to give tho tree the proper bead or frame on which Its later growth and strength and usefulness are to dt-iK-nd. To give this It Is welt to trim one-ycnr-old trees (straight whips) to a height of from eighteen to twenty four Inches. Personally the writer trims both apple and pear trees fit the point whore the knee strikes In pass ing. A numher of side branches will 58 15 CC 25 40 00 33 15 30 35 20 00 51 80 j grow from this stub, and tho following 39 60 season these should lie thinned to Ave 2 50 of the strongest growing at nearly equal distances from one another and cut back at least a half of their length and to outside If the tree has an tip right habit and to Inside buds If It tins a decidedly spreading habit. The di rections Just given will apply to branched two-year old trees thnt were got from the nursery this spring and to two-yeur-old trees set last year that were not pruned at all. Tho aim In all this pruning should bo to give sturdy symmetrical frame and to have the union wlilch the branches roako with the trunk as strong as possible; bejjce.po limbs .Bh'juld 11 left wblcji jn It Is likely perfectly naturnl, but there ure folks who would rather at tend a moving picture show thuu have a square meal. Some one bas found out that tf a bushel bOkket Is slipped over a hog's head the animal can lie easily backed up most any kind of a chute. Tlnvo things til shipshape around the poultry yard, so the hens will be bringing iu the prolits from their eggs while you are making the Culd crops pay. . Most farms could be made much neater In appearance and considerable value a i Mel to their building and fences by the use f the paint brush about thU time of the year. A record )tat vine Is reported by a resident of Lewis county. Wash. It was eight feet long and weighed forty-four pounds, whllo the potatoes from It weighed tweiity-nluo pounds. Next to the apple, tho strawberry Is the most generally growu of American fruits mid. from the standpoint of rev enue derived from Its cultivation, also ranks next to the upplo lu importance. Sweet pecs are vigorous feeder on plant fond and will lie tho more lux uriant if they are watered after they aro well up with dilute manure wa ter or are given a mulch of well rotted manure. The Into session of the Iowa legisla ture Increased the bounty on wolves from J.j to $). 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 bo fed exclusively on sllnge. but should hare some dry forage fed with IL Kilage Is a enrbo- naceon food mid should have'some ' more nitrogenous food to go with It In order to make a better balanced ration. Little chicks nre likely to hare trou ble If they are not given an opportunity to scratch and stretch their legs by the time they are three weeks old. And such trouble Is nggrnvated If the ra- Ucn Is too largely fat rather than bono and muscle funning. it Just the right time, when the weeds nre starting In the surface soil, n Iron rake Is the best weed killer for the small garden that we know of, as It not only covers a good deal of ground, but stirs It well and exposes the tender roots of the weeds to the sun. A lending eastern agricultural Jour nal receutly, contained an Illustrated article telling bow one man failed In the poultry business. . While they won't say much nliout it, there are doubtless a good ninny of IU readers who will be In shupe to sympathize Willi this unfortunate. A firm In Massachusetts make a business of collecting stray milk bot tles.-' Last year It collected from vari ous sources 2.&00.000 bottles, and of tills number oOO.OOO were taken from city dumps. If this practice Is general In American cities It is no wonder that tbe cost of living 1 a trills high.

Sweet peas have been found to be especially sensitive to gas fumes. Among the tree the cotton wood seems to Ih the mot thrifty ot the common shade trees in the pro onco of this handicap. A friend reports the loss of several lilters of pigs when the sows were halfway through, their period of gesta tion us the result of their getting hold of a quantity of moldy silage which was thrown out. This Is but one of several Instances which have been re ported lately where loss of 111 tit pigs has resulted from this cause, this ex (HTleiice Is a somewhat costly one, but its K.-iou Is well worth learning. The dilute solution of llmc-sulphur has been found an excellent substitute for the bordeaux mixture In the spray ing of vine, bush mid tree fruits, but as a fungicide for potatoes It has not been found satisfactory, experiments carried on last year by the New York statlou showed that potato vines that were sprayed with lime sulphur were stunted ns a result and that the yield of tubers was materially reduced. A prety good llsh story comes from Boston to thi effect that a llstierman named John Men so hauled u lob ster alHiard the other day three feet long and weighing In the iicl;lilHirhid of ten pounds. It had claws eighteen Inches long and Is thought to have been at least twenty-live years old. The lobster attacked the man ou being hauled into the boat, but was put out uf business with an oar after biting the legs of his captor. According to figure lately Issued by the bureau of statistics at Washing ton, the cost of living was higher dur ing the closing months of '.)V thau for any period during the preceding twenty-three years.
