Fearful and Wonderful Memorandum of Baltimore C?ok. In the family of a former B<l toorean now residing In Providence, R. 1., there is a middle-aged German t/oman —a relative of the family—who, though having lived in thia country over a quarter of a century, has not yet thoroughly mastered the English tongue. The expressions of this rela tive, who keeps house for the fam ily, sometimes afford much amusement to those unaccustomed to her peculiar ly characteristic "pigeon English." Happening to visit the kitchen sev eral days ago the head of the houee discovered tacked up against the wall a crude memorandum pad. Inquiry developed the fact that it was a re minder of the day's culinary needs. This is what was written in combina tion English-German cbirography on the little sheet: Tapioca pruns corn Starsh Shradded Wieth Sardien saman Egg i cie Salse sellerio The memorandum was confiscated and sent to friends of the family in Baltimore.

"In my opinion," says a well known German physician, "no one can truth fully say that coffee agrees with him, as it has long since been proven that caffeine, contained in coffee, is an in jurious, poisonous substance which weakens and degenerates the heart muscles. "For this reason the regular use of coffee, soon or late, causes a condition of undernourishment, which leads to various kinds of organic disease. "Convinced of this fact, I have often flight for some healthful beverage to use instead of coffee. At last I found the thing desired in Postura. Having had occasion to forbid people using coffee, whose hearts were affected, I have recommended Postum as a bev erage, since it is free from all injuri ous or exciting substances. I know this from results in my own family, and among patients. "Hundreds of persons who now use Postum In place/of coffee, are greatly benefited thereby." "There's a Reason."

It is a well-known old saying that the time to prune is when the saw is sharp. Practically most of our fruit tree pruning ia done in early spring, ' 4/ ' hi, Plum Tree Before Spring Pruning. March being the accepted month. There is a manifest tendency among the most advanced fruitmen to do more summer pruining and less spring pruning. It is also quite plain that those who are not real experts in or chard matters are apt to overdo the spring work with the pruning saw. If pruning is carefully and conservative ly done every March from the time the trees are planted out, it may bo considered a safe operation. The ex cessive pruning of neglected trees at this time of year, on the other hand, is apt to be more of a damage than a benefit, says the Country Gentleman. Under present circumstances, we have to recognize the fact that March />J ' Same Tree Pruned, Showing Method of Heading Back. will he the main month for pruning on farms and in small orchards. In face of this fact, it is well to urge the advice to be careful with the prun ing tools, especially with the saw and the ax, and not togo too fast. EFFECT OF MULCH. It Does Not Retard Blooming of Straw berry Plants. No. This question has been settled for 20 years: So long as the top of a plant is exposed to sunshine and air, so long will any mulch be impotent to retard its developing and blooming. If a plant like a strawberry plant be kept entirely covered with the mulch, the development will be retarded, but in that case the plant is likely to be destroyed by the mildews that will de velop. It used to be believed that placing straw around a tree or around a plant would keep its roots cold and thus delay blooming. This was desired to carry the tree or plant beyond the time of killing frosts. But it was not difficult to prove that the state of the roots had nothing to do with the time of leaving out of the tree or of Its budding. In one of the demonstra tions to prove this, a grape vine with its roots in the frozen ground, which was also covered with snow, was car ried into a grenhouse and exposed to the light, heat and sunshine. The leaves came out as usual, though the roots could not supply moisture. Of course the exhaustion of the moisture in the vine resulted in its destruction. A tree or a plant can be kept back from blooming only by covering it and thus protecting It from the influences that cause it to bring forth leaves and blossoms. The first activities of a tree or plant come from energy stored up in the form of starch from Ihe food taken the previous year. Remember This. Remember, when making up your order for trees for spring planting, that it is best not to plant big blocks all of one variety. Minnie the sorts, so that their blossoms may help to fertilize one another. Look to Grapevine Trellis Posts. See to grapevine trellis posts when a thaw comes the latter part of this month.
