PRUNING CHERRY TREES.
I'ntll the Ilcnrinit .t(;e !■ Hfsclieil
'l'Uln Operation In One of I'»r«-
mount Importance.
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.

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-

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

( 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."

Doctors said my liver was affected. My complexion was dark and yellow, I

of medicine, but nothing seemed to do me any good. I read In the paper oi

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.
