    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

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.
Hog House Floor.
' r he hog house floor may be ce
ment one part with six to eight, parts
gravel for a foundation and covered
with one inch of a thin mixture con
taining one part cement with two of
clean, sharp sand. 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

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?
The i editor of this department knows
|SX Texas man who still gathering
■ fresh roses from his bushes, when all
; his neighbors, in fact, most of the resi
dents of his town, can only point to
their withered, parched bushes and
trees. 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)

"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

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

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. Whether

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.
Ijay Ihe steak in a plate in which
three tablespoonfuls of oil and one
and a half of vinegar have been
placed, turn often and let the meat lie
at least four hours, before broiling.
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

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.

And, Coupled with the Unchaining ol

Unanimously.
"Well!" demanded the stern-facei

"Well, \*hat have I to do with that?'
"Why—er—l was thinking if yoi

She eyed him disdainfully.
"Oh, that's a poor excuse," she Bald
with a curl of her thin lip. "Go up tc
the town without a shave and a hall

Big, Painful Swellings Broke and Did

Tortures Yield to Cuticura.
"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
