I. Lowls, chlof of horticulture, In roply to many complaints from grow era that their trees woro looking bad and Becmcd likely to dlo. Tho dam aged trocs failed to bloom and wcro abnormally lato putting out leaf buds Later many of tho trees dovclopod their leaf buds with Indications that not many will dlo, although foliage this year will bo very sparse Indica tions aro that thoy will bo In a weak oncd condition for several years unless drastic restorative measures arc ta kon. Tho causo of tho trouble scorns to bo duo to tho two dry seasons Just passed through. Last year was extremely dry with llttlu rain from the latter part of March until after the prunes woro harvested. This was a severe strain on tho trees, especially where tho tillage had been poor or tho soli rather thin or not well adapted to prunes. Even troes that had very good caro and good soil showed soma suf fering, mostly In tho way of functional troubles. Many prunes dropped pro maturcly. Tho sotting of prunes In some orchards was unusually heavy, which Is always .to bo expected when trocs aro suffering for want of food and moisture. Dy tho middle of tho summer many of tho prunes began to turn a reddish color. They often had largo green watery areas on them. Othors became malformed, having Ir regular, sunken areas which when cut through displayed a corky Interior in dicating that tho molsturo had been drawn out, probably by tho leaves. Many prunes foil In July and there was a heavy drop oven lato In tho summon All thoso signs thrown out by tho treo Indlcato that It Is suffer ing and needs moisture. With such troubles during a growing season troublo of ono kind or another may bo oxpoctcd tho following spring. Of ten tho buds aro too weak to bloom or If they bloom too weak to act Tho treea woro so weak last summer that thoy could develop no fruit buds and only a limited number of rather weak loaf buds. Whoro tho trees arc not serorely damaged and show only a modcrato amount of weakness tho bost thing is to take especially good caro of the soil, till it Is In good shape and work It down thoroughly. Somo fertilizer would bo a good thing, say three to five pounds of nl trogonous fertilizer llko nltrato of soda, sown broadcast and worked into tho ground. It might servo as a stim ulus and help some. Whero thcro Is considerable damage It might pay to practice qulto heavy pruning of tho troes, thus reducing tho top and bring ing It into moro equal balance with tho roots. Tho roots aro probably In a foeblo condition with very few now foodlng roots nnd thoso aro overtaxed. Reducing the top qulto strongly will help these roots to establish thorn solves again and assist tho troo in getting on Its foot. Whoro tho dam ago Is vory sovcro and tho troo shows only a few signs of llfo probably .tho wisest thing hore would bo practically to dohorn tho treo. Tho top Is cut back vory sovoroly to force out a new top which may make tho troo vigorous again. Tho wholo situation and tho export- onco of pruno growers last summer and this spring should teach pruno growors that thoy aro too caroloss In tholr orchard practices. Too many growors dolay ttllago. Tho bost grow ers In tho stato, thoso who sooni to got tho largest crops and tho most money, aro men who practlco vory early plowing nnd harrowing and con- ttuuo It vory thoroughly at loast up to nild-summor. Thoy do not neglect tho regular annual pruning, removing tho weak wood and encouraging tho strong and vigorous sprouts. Much can bo dono to offset tho decllno. It may bo four or flvo years boforo soma of thoso damaged pruno trees can bo brought Into a highly produc tive stato whoro as lu most casus If a llltlo mora caro had boon taken this rest period could liuvo boon avoided, MORRIS BROTHERS, Inc.

Meat forms uric acid which clogs tho kidney pores so thoy sluggishly filter or strain only part of tho waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys. Tho moment you feel a dull acho in tho kidneys or your back hurts, or If tho urlno Is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, Irregular of passage or at tended by a sensaUon of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any rellablo pharmacy and take a tablcspoonful in a glass of wator be fore breakfist for a few days and your kidneys will then act flno. This fa mous salts is made from tho acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Ilthia and has been used for genera tions to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to acUvlty, also to neu tralize the acids in urine so it no long er causes Irritation, thus ending blad der disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot Injure; makes a delightful efferves cent lithia-water drink which all reg ular meat eaters should take now and then to keep tho kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

Brogue occurs when an entire popu lation of alien blood or tongue acquires the tongue language of its conquerors or its subjects or its neighbors, as the case may be; and acquires it, natural ly, with a difference, importing Into tho foreign speech many of its own na tive peculiarities.
