A COUPLE O FOOLS.
The biggest fool pair thut the writer

across the other duy. The man bad a
small house and an ' acre of ground
north some $730 and was spnrkluiC a
half baked irlrl. who said she would
uinrry him tf he would buy an auto
mobile, lie fell to this and swapped
hU place for a machine and $100,
which won't lust a great while In de
fraying gasoline nirtl repair bills. 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. And
yet we suppose they will le happy as
lurks with this auto, ami If they don't
worry about the future perhaps other
ought not to.

A reader of those notes who recently

or frame on which Its later growth
and strength and usefulness are to

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

got from the nursery this spring and
to two-yeur-old trees set last year that
were not pruned at all. Tho aim In

The Into session of the Iowa legisla

n Iron rake Is the best weed killer

A lending eastern agricultural Jour

A friend reports the loss of several

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

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.
