Life Without Food.
How long is It possible to live with
out food? We have all read of a case
not many years since, where somt
French miners were entombed fot
twenty-one days, and rescued alive
.ong after everyone thought they
must be dead; of course they were
In a very weakened condition, and re
quired the utmost care before they
were out of danger. This, however,
Is by no means the longest time that
a human being is known to have ex
isted without food, and In a recent Is
sue of the British Medical Journal,
there is the record of a woman suf
fering from cancer, who could tak
neither food nor drink of any kind,
yet she existed in that condition fot
fifty-six days, and was, moreover,
quite conscious till her death. In In
dia the fakirs Include among theli
wonderful performances abstention
from food for a very long period, bul
when they do this they put thera
eelves into a condition closely resem
bling sleep, and, of course, during
that time the body is called on te
perform none of It usual functions,
and wasting of tissue Is reduced to
minimum.
PREMIUM APPLES.
Professor C. I. Lewis, head of the
Department of Horticulture at the
Oregon Agricultural College, and a
recognized authority on fruit culture,
has the following to say about the
prunlag of apple trees:
"Pruning Is a very old practice,
and a very necessary one. Its prin
ciple aims are to give the plants
vigor and to make them fruitful, to
facilitate such orchard work as prun
ing, spraying, thinning, and cultiva
tion, also to regulate the amount ot
heat and light that strikes the va
rious parts of the tree, producing
maximum color and shielding against
sun scald, also training the plant to
some desired form.
"There are a few general principles
one should bear in mind; first, study
the type of tree desired. Yellow
Newton apples should not be pruned
the same day as the Northern Spy.
Peaches are pruned entirely different
from apples. You should make a
close study of the bearing habits, and
type of buds. Most apples and pears
bear on spurs two years of age, but
occasionally fruit is borne on one
year old spurs in the axils of leaves
of the previous year's growth, on
tips of last year's growth, and some
times on one year old spurs. Peaches
bear on on! year old wood and never
on older growth. Heavy top pruning
tends to produce a very rank wood
growth, rejuvinates plants and has a
tendency to produce a heavy water
sprout growth.
"The habits of plants differ ac
cording to age as well as variety.
The general tendency is to grow
from the uppermost buds. The head
lng in of the terminal growth tends
iu DLicijujt;u aim piuuucc
Fruit-bearing tends to become a hab
it with trees, and may be brought
about by a check, such as light
pruning, not as much cultivation,
etc. Season may have a bearing on
the tendency of producing fruitful
ness. Spring or winter pruning has
a tendency to produce wood growth.
Summer pruning, if not done to ex
cesB, has a tendency to produce
fruit.
"The question of high and low
heads is not worth discussing. We
know that low heads makes cheaper
orchard work, and one is not so apt
to lose trees from sun scald or
borers. Remember, a short trunk
may not mean a low head. There
are several types of trees, such as
the open tree, sometimes called the
"vase" or goblet," or leader of pyra
midal type. A great deal of precious
time is wasted on the discussion of
these types. Some varieties tend to
mane an unsatisfactory growth, espe
cially the yellow varieties, if grown
other than by the leader type. The
Northern Spy does much better when
grown open. Open trees are gen
erally weak, due to allowing the
branches to start from one bud. Do
not do this. Select the branches
carefully and allow plenty of space
between them.
Pruning Young Apples.
"Head the trees low, from 18 to
20 inches. You can cut, say about
25 inches, and this will give you
more space on which to form the
branches. Never allow all branches
to grow near top of cut; this means
that at the growing season you will
have to rub off buds and cut out all
undesirable branches. Do this be
fore the branches get very large, in
the spring of the second year. I
would prefer to prune young trees
before growth starts in spring. Se
lect from three to five of the best
branches and cut back to growth 10
to, 12 inches in length. Remove all
laterals. During the second year each
branch will throw out a large num
ber of new branches. Only allow
two of these new branches to grow
on the previous year's growth. Cut
these back from 10 to 12 inches in
length. Occasionally we allow some
of these branches to remain, but
these have a tendency to produce
early fruit, too early for the good
of the tree.
"At the beginning of the third year
you should again thin out excessive
laterals, the same as the previous
year, but you can allow the remain
ing laterals to be headed back to
two or three buds. The heading
back process gives strength and bal
ance to the trees. The weak forks
should not be allowed to grow. From
the third year on the pruning be
comes less vigorous, the aim being
to check trees making excessive ter
minal growth and removing the lat
erals where they are too thick. If
you practice severe pruning you will
soon have a large brush heap.
"About the summer of the fourth
year you can do some summer prun
ing. This can be done about the
first or middle of July, and should be
very moderate. In removing branches,
cut them close to the body of the
tree. Never allow a branch to drop
so as to tear the tree, making a bad
wound. All wounds should be paint
ed or covered with grafting wax. If
you have a large growth of water
sprouts, indications are, that you are
doing too much pruning. The weak
er the tree, branch or twig, the more
we winter prune to give vitality.
Never prune branches that are froz
en, as this causes die back, and the
wounds do not heal well. On mature
trees heading back near strong lat
erals has a tendency to reduce the
water sprouts at the point of cut
ting. When water sprouts begin to
grow, remove at once. Trees that
have a tendency to bear every year
will stand more pruning. Trees that
are eight or ten years of age that
are vlgprous and not bearing heavily,
are being pruned too severely or re
ceiving too much cultivation. Trees
that tend to produce fruit every oth
er year should be pruned heaviest
the fruiting year."

In photographs of lightning, streaks
of "black llghtniDg" are often seen
branching out from the main white

they are due to the over-exposure of
