PRACTICAL METHOD FOR PLANTING TREES STRAIGHT Piece of Timber with Notch In Middle Is Handy-How to< Prune for Best Results —By E. R. Myers. Method for Planting Trees Straight. An excellent method for planting trees straight is a follows: First stake off the ground, then take a piece of inch lumber Ix 2 of suf ficient length to reach across the hole or excavation; bore a %-inch hole in each end, cut a notch in the middle to accommodate the tree trunk, A. Make or have the black smith make two %-inch iron pins one foot long with ring in one end. C. To use, place the board into a notch A, shove your pins well down in soil through holes n, B. Withdraw one and swing the stick around like a gate, replace the pin in the ground to mark the place, then dig the hole to accommodate tree, swing the stick back in place, replace pin in hole through the stick and into the hole in the ground put the stock of tree into notch A, and fill in the dirt and it will set straight with the 1 \her stakes. \ As ornamental trees and shrubs re pruned to aid in the production if flowers and foliage, the flowering s- • son necessarily controls the time pruning. Many of the early blooming shrubs, develop their flowers the year before; with these heavy pruning should be de SINGLE CROP FARMING BAD Spcciulization Is Profitable In Favorable Seasons, But Often There Is Failure. One-rrop farming is in vogue in many agricultural districts. If a manu facturer employs an operator he fur nishes him with steady employment at all seasons of the year. The profit of labor is the manufacturer's reward. If only one commercial article is pro duced the quantity is increased to give the operator constant employ ment. The farmer is a producer of agricul tural necessities which enter into daily consumption and to concentrate all his energies and capital to produce a single crop leaves him part of the season without employment. The far mer is his own employer and does not have to divide the profits of his prod ucts, and therefore should arrange his system of husbandry to insure steady production of some agricultural output that enters into daily consumption. Unquestionably specialization farm ing is profitable in favorable seasons, but occasionally there is a partial or total failure of the crop and the far mer wants some reserve product to tide him over a disastrous season of special crop exploitation. In some lo calities the soil is admirably adapted to potato culture. In another section to onions, and still another to horticul ture. When any of these lines of hus bandry are followed they pay large profits in favorable seasons. Another class of farmers are interested in w heat or corn production, both of v, hich are profitable branches of agri culture. The farmer engaged in specializa tion crops finds himself unemployed a part of the year. If his labors are rea sonably rewarded for time devoted to raising and marketing a crop of wheat, corn, potatoes or fruit, it should be his ambition to add to his agricultural op erations the production of other things that will pay a profit the balance of the year. To obtain the largest possi ble recompense from agriculture the farmer should arrange for steady em ployment the year around. Special crops can be exploited in conjunction with live stock husbandry. If the farmer raises a crop of clover it leaves the soil in elegant condition for a crop of potatoes, while the clover will make excellent feed for live stock. A crop of potatoes leaves the in prime condition for wheat seeded down to clover. Live stock industry in conjunction with special crop pro duction will not only give the farmer remunerative employment at all sea sons, but the rotation of crops and feeding live stock will keep up the fertility of the land.

Roughen the sur face; otherwise it will be slippery. Value of Ewe. If a ewe dies her fleece will pay her funeral expenses; if she lives, her spring wool and fall lambs pay dou ble revenue. layed until just after their flowering season, Deutzia, spirea, forsythia and many other popular shurbs are of this character. Soon after their flowering season is over ,they begin to develop buds for the next year. Shrubs needing heavy trimming should be pruned in early winter. This will result in larger blooms on the remaining buds. Such plants as the hydrangea and the clematis, which make their flowering buds on shoots grown the same year, should be pruned heavily while dormant, as this will give a greater profusion of shoots on which to develop new buds. When pruning hardy deciduous flow ering shrubs all dead wood should be cut out, straggling branches either short ened or removed and all suckers aris ing from the roots should be de stroyed. Where shrubs are planted in clumps branches should be cut out. It is a good idea to cover the wounds with white lead or grafting wax, as if a stub is left uncovered the healing of the wound will be left until the stub is rooted out and the rotting stub will be a lodging place for bacteria and fungus. Cut the branch off clean and close to the main stem, avoiding any stub, and cover the wound with graft ing wax melted and applied hot. GANG PLOW ' HORSE EVENER Method of Attaching Six Horses to Farm Implement with Satisfaction By George Hannc. Here is a sketch of a six-horse even er for gang plow. As shown, two horses are placed ahead and four abreast. The device is made of a piece of oak plank and a common four horse evener set on top of it and fas tened with strap iron as on a wa gon tongue. The holes in the evener are bored at the rate of two to one; two inches to the two horses to one inch to four. The evener is made of suf ficient length so that the hole for the I Six-Horse Attachment. two horses comes under the tongue. Then it is connected with a chain to the front evener. This evener can also be used as a five-horse evener by changing the holes in the planks and using three horses instead of four. Unique Relationship of Potato. An authority tells us that the pota to has a large and unique relation ship. Tobacco, tomatoes, eggplant and peppers belong to the family. Probably that is why ihe potato bug is so often destructive to these crops. It is asked: How can a potato grow other potato vines from the eyes, since it is not a root, fruit or seed? That is answered by way of illustra tion: A stem of almost any plant will produce another plant from the place where the leaves come out on it. If one will break off a piece of rose bush and plant it in a favorable place it will produce another rose bush, just as a potato will produce an other vine. Water Shade Trees. How many people neglect to water thei/i shade trees and flower beds?

This man, on the hottest day of the year, had his home grown flow ers on the table, and they were al most as fresh as flowers would look in early summer. He simply waters \ his trees and flowers; waters then) right, and they return him, for hit i service, beauty of bloo;u.

Ono Impulse from a vernal wood May teach you more of man. Of moral, evil and of Rood Than all the sages can. —Wordsworth'. "Order Is Heaven' 9 First Law." So many mothers find it very hare to teach children to be orderly, pill away their belongings and keep th'eii boxes neat. "The way to begin is a' the beginning," when they are ole enough to have playthings they shoulc be taught to put them away whei done with them. A child under tw( years can leain to do this. As thej grow older the habit is formed of hav lng a place for everything and put ting it there. The school books and wraps should never be allowed to b< dropped anywhere. We all know what a saving of nerves and tempei a well-ordered household means. Foi In the hurry of starting to schoo there is no time to hunt/for mislaid articles. One mother is trying now to over come some bad habits already formed by inspecting the belongings of hei young hopefuls each day. If she finds everything in order she leaves a smal! piece of money on the dresser; If it is not. there the aforesaid hopeful knows why. It isn't always easy to put a thins away directly we are done with it We want to do so many other things but how glad we are that we may be able to put our hands upon our be longings in a hurry, only those know who have tried both ways. Years ago there was a story pub' lished of a young lady away at a house party for a few weeks. In the party was a young man who was very much interested in this young woman and had made up his mind to ask her to share his salary ?ind travel on his pass, but. he happened to pass her room and looking in, saw such disor der and confusion that he changed his mind about wanting her.

Bread Notes. Remove the loaves at once from tht» pan when baked, and place in a cir culation of air. When cold put into a tin box or stone jar and keep cov ered closely. Xever wrap bread in a cloth, as It gives the bread an unpleasant taste. Bread jars should be washed, scalded and sunned each time before using, and oftener in summer. All dry bread may be used in count less ways in cooking and a crumb should never be wasted. Bread may be brushed over with milk lo make the crust hard. Keep bread closely covered and in a warm place while rising. If bread is ever overbaked and the crust needs softening, sponge with sugar and water and wrap closely for a few minutes. Boiled Rice with Chocolate Sauce. Here is something that will be new to many, and the combination is good. Take one cupful of rice, add one and one half cupfuls of boiling water, cook until the water is absorbed, then add one and one-half cupfuls of milk, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one ta blespoonful of butter. Chocolate Sauce.—Make a syrup of one cupful of sugar and one-fourth of a cupful of water. Pour it over one square of melted chocolate, add one teaspoonful of butter and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of vanilla. Serve hot To Make Tough Steak Tender.

Keep a microscope in the kitchen to examine dried fruits, cereals, etc., it will save much waste, as a glance will tell the condition, and anything not good may be at once returned to the grocer. Beet Relish. Take one quart of cabbage chopped fine, one quart of boiled beets chopped fine, two cupfuls of sugar, one table soonfui or salt, one teaspoonful of pepper, one-half teaspoonful of cay enne, one cupful of grated horse rad ish, with vinegar to mix well Can cold. Peach Sherbet. Boil one quart of water and two cupfuls of sugar together, add one quart of peach juice, the juice of a lemon and the well-beaten whites of two eggs. Freeze as usual. HAD A BETTER SUGGESTION And, Coupled with the Unchaining ol the Dog, It Was Carried Unanimously. "Well!" demanded the stern-facei woman as she leaned over the red handled broom. "What do you want?"

"Little black swellings •wore scat tered over my face and neck and they would leave little black scars that would itch so I couldn't keep from scratching them. Larger swellings would appear and my clothes would stick to the sores. I went to a doctor, but the trouble 6i)ly got worse. By this time it was all over my arms and the upper part of my body in swellings as large as a dollar. It was so pain ful lhat I could not bear to lie on my back. The second doctor stopped the swellings, but when they broke the places would not heal. I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies and in less than a week some of the places were nearly well. I continued until I had used three sets, and now I am sound and well. The disease lasted three years. O. L. Wilson, Puryear, Tenn., Feb. 8, 1908." Potter Urutf & Cbem. Corp.. Dole Propt, Bottca.
