To ensure rapid healing In the plant
after pruning It la necessary that alt
wounds should be left smooth. If It Is
necessary to use a saw In removing a
large limb the cot surface should be
left smooth aad clean, particularly
around the edges. The sharper the saw
the cleaner will the cut be and this
should in turn be made smoother by
the use of a pruning knife or a sharp
chisel, as the healing process starts
quicker and progresses more rapidly
when this precaution is observed. It
frequently happens that In order to ob
tain the best results In removing large
branches, two cuts should be made. The
limb may be sawed off IS Inches or 2
feet above the point of Its origin In
order to prevent splitting down and
tearing off a considerable part of the
bark. After the weight of the limb
has been lessened by cutting away the
main part a second cut can be made
and the stub held in position until the
cut Is completed. The evil results of
splitting can frequently be overcome
by cutting first on the under side of
the limb and then on the upper side as
shown In the illustration.
Oleomargarine Verana Batter.
Oleomargarine is a perfectly legiti
mate product, and when made of good
material and under sanitary conditions,
greatly to be preferred to poor butter.
The only "kick" coming here from the
consumer is when oleomargarine, be It
ever so good, masquerades under the
guise of butter and Is sold at the same
price. In Illinois most drastic laws
have recently been passed relating to
the sanitary condition of butterlne and
Ice cream factories.
The Worcester (Mass.) Board of
Trade goes still further In Its crusade
for sanitary surroundings for the man
ufacture of ice cream, when it says:
"Ail establishments in which Icecream
Is manufactured shall be equipped with
facilities for the proper cleansing of
the hands of the operatives, and all
persons Immediately before engaging in
he mixing of the ingredients entering
into the composition of ice cream or
l's subsequent freezing and handling
u.-il! thoroughly wash his or her hands
and keep them cleanly during such man
ufacture and handling. All such per
sons shall be dressed In clean outer
garments while engaged In such manu
facture and handling." Here la surely
move In the right direction which
every woman will Indorse.
Bee Cnltare.
Authough there is no fortune to be
expected In bee culture, the business is
one of profit. The raising of bees is
one of the most interesting of pastimes
and also one that pay well for the in
vestment Honey Is, perhaps, the pur
est and richest of all oweets and should
be found on every farm. Of course,
farmers cannot be expected to main
tain large apiaries, though they should
always have a few hives. What is not
consumed on the farm can always be
sold.
Half a dozen or so colonies of bees
In well-arrauged hives is suflicieut to
begin the bee business. In fact, they
are about what the average farmer
should keep. Before embarking In the
business, however, It Is advisable to
become posted as much as possible.
This can be done by studying books
and papers on bee culture and by visit
ing some apiary conducted by a man
who knows the business.
Alrlna- the F.kc.
Many beginners do not understand
Why the eggs in the incubator should
not be turned or aired after the eigh
teenth day. The reason is that at this
time the chicks are getting ready to
"pip" the shells, and tliey shape them
selves around so as to pip on the up
per side of the shell first. Should the
eggs be moved when the chicks are
about to batch the bill may be torn.

According to the last census, there
are 233.5DS.0O5 chickens of laying age
In the United States. These are val

lay would, If divided, allow 203 eggs
annually to every person man, woman
and child in the United States. The
value of all the fowls, $58,800,000,
would entitle every person in the coun

proceeds divided. All the weight of

The Hea'a Health.
Dr. Salmon of the Bureau of Ani
mal Industry lays down this rule for
telling the health of the bird by lu
droppings : The condition of the drop
pings furnishes a good Indication of
the hen's health. They should be of
sufficient consistency to hold their
shape, but should not be too solid. In
color they should be dark, tapering
off into grayish white. If the drop
pings are soft or pasty, and of a yel
lowish or brownish color, it Indicates
too much carbo-hydrates or a lack of
meat If, on the other hand, the drop
pings are watery and dark, with red
splashes of mucus In them, It indi
cates too much meat. A greenish,
watery diarrhoea usually Indicates un
sanitary conditions either in the sur
roundings, the feed or the water.
Traaaplaatiaat Treea.
In transplanting old trees It Is desir
able to save all possible roots and to
have these disturbed as little as pos
sible. In the case of young fruit trees,
however, good growth may be secured
if the roots are well cut back. One
may not fear then to cut away all
broken, mangled, dried or dead parts
of the root system in setting young
trees. In fact a tree la better off
without sucn dead parts. If the trees
have been so handled that all main
roots and small fibrous ones are fresh,
If they show no signs of having dried

of pruning the roots at the time of set

ant that the grower should select five

them go to seed. From 20 to 50 differ
ent types of kale plants have been
grown from one small packet of com
mercial seed, the majority, however,
are worthless. To get good seed the
grower must select a good parent plant;
thoe of goxl size, weighing from 40
to 50 pounds each, with a medium siz
ed, smooth green leaves, the main
stem branching out close to the ground
into innumerable stems and leaves in
all stages of growth. Only plants
which .go through the severest frosts
without any injury should be selected.
These plants selected during the first
year should be transplanted early in
the spring the second year in some
fertile spot where they will not te
cross pollinated by other kale plants,
wild turnips, rape, mustard and similar
c'osely related plants. The seed will
be formed this second year and should
be harvested when the plant has dried
