Authorities on tlie subject have fallen into the habit of saying that cherry trees need "practically no pruning whatever." Of course this is a general statement, which, like most general statements, does not contain all the truth or all the faets. It is j somewhat misleading also, to the in- j experienced fruit grower; for he, i naturally, is inclined to apply such j i a rule to every cherry tree on his j | farm, regardless of variety, age or | condition. My own observation and experience convince me that most ! | cherry trees need regular and sys- j tematic pruning until the bearing j age is reached. After that, if the first five or six years' trimming has been properly attended to, very little I if any pruning is required. Commercial cherry orchards are rafely seen in Michigan or Ohio, but in New York state, California, Idaho, etc., cherry culture has received } much attention. Personally I take j ! great pride and pleasure in a little j block of 50 trees which I set with my j | own hands four years ago. The vari- J i eties are mostly Montmorency and Early Richmond, with a few sweet | varieties such as Gov. Wood, Windsor, I Black Tartarian and Yellow Spanish, j For four years this little cherry or- j | chard has received the. same care and i ; attention that my peach and pear or- j ! chards have. Each spring the tree* have been pruned; each winter mod- j ; erate amounts of stable manure and j wood ashes have been applied; each j : year the orchard has been plowed 1 jj CHEllltY TREES PROPERLY PItUNED. I and regularly harrowed. Spraying (for the slug which attacks the [ leaves) has been attended t.o; and, early in August, the ground has been j "seeded down" to oats or rye or crim- \ i eon clover. The result is exceedingly satisfac- | tory. The cherry trees have made n | splendid growth, and are shapely and ' thrifty and promising. I bought these j 50 trees for about $0 four years ago; ; j to-day I would not take SIOO for the | orchard. Indeed, if 1 ant not greatly mistaken, and if I live long enough, | I expect to see seasons when I can i ! market SIOO worth of cherries from j these 50 trees. That is not an ex traordinary expectation, either. It's fully within tlie bounds of reason, judging from the yield and net profit derived from occasional door yard cherry trees in this neighborhood. But, of course, to attain such suc cess with cherries—or any other fruit—the location must be right, tlie soil and climate congenial, and the details of cultivation must all be at tended to. And, in my opinion, prun ing is one of the essential details. It is true, however, that cherry trees require much less pruning than do other fruit trees. A very little suf fices. 'l'lie accompanying photo en graving shows the amount of "brush" removed from an average Mont morency tree last spring. As you will notice there were no "big limbs" removed; nothing but small and oc casional twigs and branches that threatened to cross or grow inward. By pruning a little every year, no ne cessity for removing large limbs has existed; nor should it exist. My aim has been merely to remove surplus branches, which either hung so low as to interfere with horse cul tivation, or which promised to make | the center of tlie tree too dense, or ! which interfered with other branch j es. I have never "headed back" the I limbs (as is customary with peach or I pear trees) and I have always been careful not to shock the trees by over-pruning in any one year. I?o case of bark-burst or injury has ever resulted from this pruning. Tlie sweet varieties of cherries, 1 find, re quire less pruning than the sour va rieties; and the Montmorency nc#ds less trimming than does tlie Rich mond. Each variety has its own pe culiar habit of growth, and should be { treated accordingly.—Walter E. An j drews, in Ohio Farmer.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1902. BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS. Durlnir llfcrnt Year* Till* Dlaruae Unit Spread Very I(111■ I<ll > Aiiiuiik l''urn> \lilmulx. Dr. Leonard l'eurson, .state veteri narian of Pennsylvania, says: Tuber culosis has spread very rapidly among cattle in this country during recent years. Of this 1 am convinced by the statements of veterinarians, butchers and stockmen of many years' experience. While it is neces sary to recognize the fact that much of this testimony is inaccurate it cannot be denied that much of it is of value and that practically all of it points in the same direction. More over, 1 have myself been able to trace the infection of numerous herds to J a single source in localities recently infected. In on instance, the infec tion of seven herds in widely sep- I arated places in Pennsylvania, includ i ing three districts in which tubercu ; losis was previously unknown, was [ traced to a famous herd of cattle that was broken up and sold at auc i tion. It was afterwards ascertained j that this herd was almost saturated | with tuberculosis. It is natural that tuberculosis should spread at a con stantly increasing rate as the cen ters of infection multiply, unless ac tive measures are taken to check it. As proof of this, we have the experi ence of the countries of Europe. The slaughter house records of France, Holland and Germany show j that tuberculosis of cattle and swine I has increased enormously in the past j ten years and in some places from i 30 to 40 per cent, of all cattle killed | are tuberculous. Denmark is one of J the few European countries where, j thanks to the valuable original rneth j ods of Prof, liang, the disease is | actually being repressed. Unless this | cancer on our herds is to be permit ted to develop until the annual losses occasioned by it are increased many j fold and the conditions that now ex | ist in Europe and in many parts of this country, become common, some j thing must be done. As to who shall take whatever action is authorized, j there can be no doubt that under ] present conditions the bulk of the work will fall upon state officials I rather than upon those connected | with the federal or with the local government. AUTOMATIC TANK VALVE. Clever Little Device by W lileli the Water Supply for TroughM Im Herniated I£i»nll>. Regulating the flow of water into | troughs and tanks is something which ' causes farmers more or less anxiety and trouble. In the plan as illustrated, the water pipe enters near the top of ! the tank, which places the valve out i of water, thus relieving it of all dan- I ger from rust or the collection of sedi j ment. Such a valve may be bought i at any hardware store. The pipe may j enter nearer the bottom of the tank, i and if the. valve is kept clear the device ; will still serve its purpose. Another j point in its favor is that, if desired, ! the valve can be closed just as effect ually when the tank is one-fourth full ! as when filled to the brim. The lower half of the long, jointed lever connecting the valveand float has a shorter one attached to it, the up- VA(.VE WATEK ' P 'PE /> •' BSC y^CAN "SSIPPISP" REGULATING WATER SUPPLY. j per end of the latter having a num j ber of holes in it. By having a hole in) j the upper half of the jointed lever and | using a pin, the angle at the joint can ! be changed at will. Making it as large J as possible will necessitate the float be | ing lifted near the top of the tank be i fore the valve is entirely closed, but ! by decreasing the angle the valve will j be closed, while the float is still near j the bottom. A sealed can or bottle j makes a good float. A board or block j of wood soon becomes soaked, and in | consequence its lifting power is gen i erally diminished.—A. L. Williams, in Farm and Home. ( own Thnt Hold I'p Milk. This is a peculiar vice, and one af j feeted by many cows. Indeed, there is I scarcely a herd in the country that does not contain one or more cows j that are given to the habit of holding ! up their milk, says Hoard's Dairyman. ! Such cows, as a rule, are possessed of a highly nervous organization. They are quite apt to take a prejudice to ; certain persons as milkers, or if spoken I to harshly they can be easily thrown | into this unfortunate state of mind I and body. The easiest and Surest rem i edy for such a habit that we have ever tried is to set a palatable mess of 1 food before the cow when we sit down Ito milk her. Her mind is at once di | verted' from the act of milking, and she lets down the milk naturally and freely. Siberia In llntter. Siberia lias long been sending but ter to Kngland, but the opening of the I Transsiberian railway has made it a | far more formidable competitor than jit formerly was. l.ast year the im ; ports of Siberian butter were valued at ! £1,400,000, and this year it is esti | mated that they will reach the value of £2,500,000 ($12,500,000). The sup | ply of butter which Siberia can fur ! nish is said to be practically unlimit ; ed. and it is possible that the opening up of Siberia may affect the dairy industry of these countries as disas- J trously as the opening up of America | affected the wheat growing industry. | It is also expected that Siberia will | shortly flood the English markets with j poultry, game and meat. BIG LION KILLS HYENA. Pierre South African Heaat 11 a < a ■le.perate llnttlo Willi Captive of Animal Shniv. Prince, the big South African lion in an animal show at Jacksonville, Fla., again distinguished himself the other morning by killing a big hyena. While his cage was being cleaned Prince sprang over the head of the man and escaped into the tent. There were few people about, but they were scattered in great alarm. Near was a fierce hyena that had been taken out of its cage on ac count of its constant fights with its mates. Prince spied this animal and with a roar he leaped on it. The hyena fought bravely, but the big lion was too much for it and soon killed it. The employes held the lion at bay with red-hot irons and rapidly built up a barricade around him. Placing a small cage at one side, Prince was driven from carcass of the hyena into the cage. The slid ing door was shut down and he was secure again. For an hour the ex citement. on Bay street was intense. A negro was so badly terrified that he ran two blocks and plunged into the St. John's river. A WISCONSIN PAPER ON WESTERN CANADA. Saskatoon, Snakntclirnnn, One of the Favoured District., The following clipped from the cor respondence columns of the EauClaire, (Wisconsin) Leader, is but one of many letters of a similar character that might be published concerning Western Canada, the land of No. 1 Hard Wheat and the best cattle on the continent. It is a simple matter to reach the lands spoken of, the Cana dian Government having agencies es tablished at St. Paul and Duluth, Minnesota; Grafton, North Dakota; Watertown, South Dakota; Omaha, Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri; Des Mines, Iowa; Wausau and Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; Indian apolis, Indiana; Sault Ste. Marie, and Detroit Michigan; Toledo and Colum bus, Ohio, and by writing to or call ing upon any of these Agents at these points full information can be se cured. This is a great opportunity to secure a home free of cost or if you desire to purchase lands; they can be bought now at prices much lower than will exist in a few months. Hut read what the correspondent referred to has to say of one particular district. To the Editor of the Leader: "The rush of the land seekers will be to the prairie provinces of the Do minion of Canada. The allurements of a soil that yields 40 bushels of wheat to the acre are too great to be resist ed, and an immense migration from this country may be confidently pre dicted. People here laughed at first at the idea of any one leaving the United States for Canada, but the Do minion authorities knew they had a good ihing and they stuck to it. Their officials evidently -knew the value of printer's ink. They spared no ex pense in letting the people of this country know that these lands were there and that they were exactly as represented. They did more. They sent out specimens of the crops raised and samples of the grain. We have had them here at four consecutive street fairs, presided over by one of their ablest immigration officers. This gen tleman spared no pains. He explained the value of the lands and the richness of the soil from morning to night to all comers. "All this told in the long run. Sev eral went up from here to spy out the land, and, like Caleb, the son of Jepun neh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, brought back a good report, and now some ten families will leave here in a few weeks for Saskatoon to settle" upon farms there, and others are pre paring to follow. Of course many will appear shocked Bt the idea of any one leaving the stars and stripes for the Union Jack, but patriotism is but a nomenclature after all. and our ex perience has been that in nine hun dred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand, a man is the most patriotic where he can make the most money and do the most harm to those whom he hates." l'oint in Favor ol" < hi nee Language. An English professor says women are incapable of learning the Chinese language, says the Chicago Record- Herald. If he can prove it Chinese may yet become the universal tongue. ABSOLUTE SECURITY.

LENA HILTON. Miss Lena Hilton is President of the Wednesday Whist Club, of Los Angeles. AS a spring' medicine Peruna is a never failing remedy. It cleanses the blood through digestion, and gives tone to the whole system by in creasing the nutritive value of the food. "Spring fever," as it is some times called, which produces a tired out, sleepy feeling, and inability to do much mental or physical work, is the result of a sluggish digestion. The great popularity that Feruna has is due to the fact that in all such cases it at once corrects digestive de rangements and enriches the blood by purifying this very important source of that vital fluid.
