As St. Louis Lawyers Talk.
Circuit Judge Reynolds had a*-
nounced that he would hear jurors
who had excuses to offer for not serv
ing, and a dozen American citizens
crowded up to the bench to tell their
troubles. Their excuses were as
varied as those who were bidden to
the feast that the bible tells about
One had an important engagement
and another could not hear very well,
and another had sickness In his fam
ily, and another had duties to per
form which nobody else on earth could
perform, and another was going on
a journey. And so it went.
The last man in the 'lne wanted to
be let off because he was a German.
He might have been excused if he had
not presented his excuse wrong end
forward.
"Judge," he said, "I can't understand
good English."
"Oh, you'll do all right," said the
judge. "There is no good English
spoken In here." —St. Louis Post-Dis
patch.
They Didn't Have to Change.
During the years In which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the' part of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is a con
spicuous exception. It was admitted
that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that it was an
ideal food.
It is so cheap that any one can af
ford it and so nourishing that every
one needs it. The result of last year's
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Oats has been adopted by
many persons as their food on which
they rely for adding vigor and endur
ance of muscle and brain.
The Quaker Oats Company meets
all demands in the way it packs
Quaker Oats; regular size packages
and the large size family package;
the latter, both with and without
china. 4

FRUIT TREES PRUNED
JUDICIOUSLY ALL YEAR
Good Working Implements Are the First Essential—Begin
Work on the Ground and Continue on
Up to the Top.
How to Prune Fruit Trees.
Fruit trees may Judiciously be
pruned the whole year around, but the
time when the work can be most eas
ily done commences with the drop
ping of the leaves in the fall and ends
with the appearance of the new
growth in spritig, writes Gerhard Kol
ligs in Garden Magazine. Tools for
pruning season pruning scissors,
pruning saw, knife, and, for tall trees,
the long-handled pruning hook —must
be kept sharp and the scissors and
hook also lubricated. Besides these
tools it is desirable to have a three
legged stepladder, which is especially
constructed for orchard use.
Before starting to prune, consider
what you are going to do. Take a
good look at the tree about to be
pruned and make your plans. The
actual work commences on the
ground. Water shoots springing from
the ground should not be cut oft mere
ly on the level with the ground's sur
face —dig down to the origin of them
and cut close to the root or stem, or
wherever they may spring from. This
dene, remove or mend all broken
branches. Always aim to close up
pmpty spaces caused by broken
limbs. You may do this by bending
and tying certain limbs, or by en
couraging the growth of neighboring
branches.
Walk around the tree and short
en last year's growth on the lower
branches about one-third, always aim
ing toward giving a circular shape to
the whole tree. Take the step ladder
and again go around the tree, trim
ming last year's growth higher up but
somewhat shorter than on the lower
branches. So continue to the top
of the tree, going around it several
times until, when finished, the tree
presents an almost globular shape,
the top branches being shortened to
less than a quarter of their previous
year's growth. Never attempt to save
time by pruning the entire height of
the tree on one side; if you do this
you will certainly give the tree an
ugly shape. The higher up you go,
the oftener will it be necessary to
cut out, of two or three branchlets,
one or even two. In this case cut out
the weaker ones or those growing to
the inside of the tree, provided they
are not necessary to fill empty spaces.
This is the pruning of aa orchard
tree, which has been attended to reg
ularly every year. It is more difficult
to prune a tree which has been neg
lected for two or more years, and it
is very difficult to bring an unshapely
tree to a presentable appearance.
Trees allowed to grow ad libitum for
two or more years will sometmes
need heavy cutting back. The more
straggling and irregular the growth
and the more slender and numerous
the branches, the more heavily the
tree has to be pruned.
On stone fruit trees it is not advis
able to cut back to the old wood and
this should never be done except in
the case of a broken limb. If such is
the case, be sure the wound is closed
with paint, wax or tar. On apples or
pears you may, without injury to the
tree (provided it is attended to regu
larly afterward), cut off the growth
of several seasons, but always see
that you cut above dormant buds. Dor
mant buds, situated at the base of
each year's growth, are often hardly
noticeable. Above them fruit buds
may have formed very conspicuously.
It seems a pity to cut them away, but
what good would they do? They will
only produces small fruit, or, by the
amount of the fruit produced, will
break the branches which are too
weak to support the weight.
Confronted with a tree out of shape
or of too thick a growth, remove first
the branches growing to the inside
and even to the opposite side of the
tree, unless by removing them you
cause on open space. But such a
branch, having been allowed to grow
from one side of a tree to the other,
and which could not be dispensed with
this year, ought to be treated in a
way to allow its removal in a suc
ceeding year; that is, the branches
must be trimmed in order to allow the
growth of the neighboring branches
dose in and gradually fill the space
fken up by this perverse one.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1909.
Then the tree may still have too
many branches. In removing them,
avoid cutting entire branches origin
ating directly from the trunk, which
would make large wounds. By not
healing over quickly these wounds
would eventually makes holes in the
trunk. Of course such branches
ought to have come off while the tree
was young, but now it is too late. Be
satisfied, therefore, with thinning out
the smaller branches, taking care
that air and light can sufficiently pen
etrate to all parts of the tree and
that fruit bud development is en
couraged on parts which, in the com
ing summer and fall, will be able to
support the weight of the rfuit.
All this having been done, it will
nevertheless be important to pick
over the fruit after it has fairly well
formed. Break out all the small and
unsightly fruit; it is certainly more
profitable, be it from the commercal
standpoint or simply for home use,
to have one big, juicy, well-formed,
well-colored and well-ripened apple
than four or live small, unsightly and
unsavory ones.
POISON SPRAYS
BENEFIT APPLES
Those Who Use Arsenate of Lead
Use Too Much at a Time and
Usually Spray Too Often.
It is very desirable to grow apples
free from worms. The codling moth
ife the insect that lays the eggs in the
blossoms from which the worms are
hatched. Arsenical poison sprayed on
the blossoms is eaten by the young
codling moth wor#ns and they die be
fore doing any damage.
A great many fruit growers do not
spray at all for the codling moth. It
has been found, however, by expe
rience that those who do spray with
arsenate of lead use too strong a solu
tion, apply too much at a time and
usually spray too often. Four pounds
of arsenate of lead to 100 gallons of
water make an amply strong solution.
A greater proportion of the poison is
an actual detriment and waste.
The apple tree does not have to be
soaked with the poison mixture to kill
the larvae of the moth. The minut
est drops of the liquid on the calyx
of each blossom will effectually do
the work. The fineness of the spray
is no more importance than the quant
ity used. Each blossom shoud re
ceive a little. Some in spraying apply
so much of the liquid that it runs
down the branches and trunks to the
roots of the trees, where it does
injury.
In most cases t\yo or three pounds
of arsenate of lead to 100 gallons of
water makes a solution strong enough
to destroy all of the worms if applied
in the right way. Two sprayings at
the right time are sufficient, and a
saving of material and labor. The
general notion that arsenical poison
on the trunk and branches of trees is
beneficial is a mistake. On the other
hand, they do poistive injury, and
many trees thus treated die from pois
oning.
Don't Let Soil Crust.
Do not let the soil form a crust. It
is at such times that the evaporation
of the moisture is very rapid. Run
the cultivator through the corn to
prevent this condition, and the often
er it is cultivated the better the crop
will do. Such cultivation puts a fine
dust mulch upon the surface which ef
fectually prevents evaporation except
at a very slow rate. Anyone that has
examined a well-cultivated field has
been stuck by the dryness of the
surface, and only a few inches
below it was almost wet enough to
make mud balls. After every rain it
Is necessary to break up the crust
that forms. In this way moisture
enough may be accumulated to tide
over the period when it is needed
most. A little shower often does con
siderable damage by destroying the
dust mulch, and it shouJ- 1 . be restorad
as soon as possible.

Entertaining Guests in the Home.
Did you ever have a guest at your
table "that couldn't eat this," and" it
runs in our family to never like
that?" If so, you have met one of the
Waterloo's of entertaining. If not,
yon have escaped a most disagreeable
situation. Of course there are people
with idiocyncrasies who must be fa
vored, but the majority of people
who balk at foods of different kinds,
do so because in their youth they
have not been trained to enjoy all
kinds of food. Children who will not
eat certain vegetables and are sup
plied with other things which they
like will never learn to like those
foods. The lazy indulgent parent who
will thus pamper a child to his hurt
are the ones responsible for this state
of affairs.
A person may not always relish
equally well all foods but there are
none that may not be reasonably en
joyed if the taste is cultivated. Train
up a child in the way he should go
and when he is a guest he will not de
part from It.
A gracious guest is as important as
a gracious hostess and unselfishness
is as important a matter to be consid
ered in entertainment as it is in other
phases of life. "Put yourself in his
place," and the golden rule might well
be the slogan for the entertained as
well as the entertainer.
Household Hints.
Add one cupful of chopped prunes
to the brown bread. The prunes add
to the flavor as well as to the nutri
tive value of the bread.
Kerosene is one of the best agents
for cleaning sinks and bath tubs as
there is no danger of wearing or
scratching the enamel. The odor is
the objection and that soon disap
pears.
Use leftover breakfast foods In
griddle cakes and gems. It is a de
cided addition.

A Remedy for Dyspepsia.
This is a remedy so simple that It
will be hard to convince the conserv
atives that just plain water is the
agent.
Drink from one to three pints ot
water one hour before each meal,
then seat yourself comfortably in the
rocking chair and rock. The rocking
will agitate the water in the stom
ach, washing its walls and cleansing
it thoroughly. The water will be ab
sorbed in a short while, leaving the
stomach toned up to receive the food
and digest it. Get the rocking chair
habit.
Thorough mastication of the food is
another valuable aid in curing dyspep
sia. Fletcherizing it is called from
the man who has made that operation
to mean so much. Masticate the food
until it swallows itself. Children may
be taught this habit early and it will
mean much to them in sound bodies
in after life.
Things a Woman Wants to Know.
A flavoring which is unusual and
very nice for a change is made by
nixing together in a bottle one tea
spoonful of almond extract with five
teaspoonfuls of vanilla. Use as usual,
a teuspoonful at a time.
Spices for flavoring; mix two
ounces each of cloves, cinnamon,
mace, nutmeg, one ounce of ginger
and three ounces of sugar, sift until
well blended and 'place in an airtight
jar. This spice may be used for
cakes, rocks, etc.
When wanting a little onion juice
for a salad or dressing, cut a slice
from the root end of a small onion,
then twist the onion a few times on
a grater near the side so that the
juict may run down the groove on the
grater.
When sweeping, dampen newspa
pers, tear into bits and scatter over
the rug or carpet. The paper holds
the dust.

PAINT FAULTS.
It is a common occurrence nowa
days to hear a man remark with dis
gust: "It is impossible to have good
painting done these days; either the
paint is not good or there are no good
painters." This, however, is not true.
There is good paint, and there are
good painters. But the question is,
bringing them together.
One cannot expect a satisfactory
painting job without pure white lead.
There is a way to make sure you are
getting pure white lead without test
ing it. See that the keg bears Na
tional Lead Company's famous Dutch
Boy Painter trademark, which is a
positive guarantee of purity. However,
anyone can test white lead. National

Changed Farm Life.
The dull silence that hung over that
New England dinner table has been
lifted of late. It is gone like the
dew in the sunlight of the new social
influences. The isolation of the farm
was the chilling cause that drove men
into the cities. Now, by telephone and
free mail delivery, all the warm
world currents are being carried to
the country and are vitalizing the ru
ral community into a life that is rich
and abundant in the variety of its in
terests. A real heart hunger has
been answered. Over hill and down
dale flashes the impulse that electri
fies existence with the thrill of human
life touching other human life. —De-

Puzzle for the Girls.
Every instructor at Chautauqua is
required to fill out a paper answer
ing a number of necessary and un
necessary questions. One year there
was a remarkably handsome male
member of the faculty in whom all
the girl students were much interest
ed. "Is he married or unmarried?"
became an all-absorbing question.
Finally some of them had the courage
to approach the college secretary and
ask if the files might be looked over.
And there the handsome professor, an
ticipating some such investigation had
recorded his matrimonial pretensions
as follows: "Married or single?—
Yes."
