The ruralist stepped in front of a portrait which showed a man sitting in a high-backed chair. There was a small white card on the picture reading: "A portrait of E. H. Smith, by him self." The farmer read the card and then chuckled to himself. "Regular lools these city fellers are," he said. "Anybody who looks at that picture 'd know Smith's by him self.

Roots of a Young Tree Damaged by Pocket Gophers. (By LAWRENCE BHCNER.) The damage caused by pocket goph ers is difficult to estimate in dollars, since it is both actual and apparent. However, all agree that the Injury is isufficient to make it quite necessary to wage relentless war against the pest. The various estimates of harm done ranges 011 the average between $lO and sls per each 160-acre farm and in some instances as high as one dollar per acre where the injury is in orchards, gardens and potato and al falfa fields. It is therefore quite with in bounds to place the annual damage caused by pocket gophers at several Head of Pocket Gopher. million dollars. This being true it Is certainly worth our while to give the matter more than casual attention. The injury caused is due both to the actual devouring of some crops and to the choking out of others, together with injury to machinery. A very lit tle good might result from the gophers mixing and loosening the soil, but this is more than offset by the harm they do by draining irrigating ditches, etc. The different species of pocket go phers live almost entirely beneath the surface of the ground, where they frequently run their galleries to great from time to time for the purpose of throwing out the dirt which they dig loose in driving their burrows and constructing storerooms, and once a year when seeking mates. During the balance of the year their life is soli tary, both the males and the females leading such isolated existences. They are not rapid multipliers, since only one brood is reared each year. The average number of young is two or three, and these are generally born In May or June.

In preparing for plaining stake out the plot having the stakes in line in several directions. After the plot is carefully staked the trouble is to get the tree set on the exact, place occupied by the stake. The following plan will overcome this difficulty.

The planting and cultivation of certain especially enticing food plants, as alfalfa, pota toes, etc., may also have had some in fluence in attracting the animals to particular locations. FRUIT GROWERS' SPRAYING HINTS Sujrxcntions by Horticultural De partment of Agricultural Ex periment Station of Wis consin University. To spray home orchards and get the best results, the following sug gestions are offered by the horticul tural department of the agricul tural experiment station of the Uni versity of Wisconsin. Fungus diseases and insects usually work upon trees at the same time; therefore use a spray of bordeaux mix ture to which some arsenical poison has been added. Ten ounces of green, or three pounds of ai. .iate of lead, added to 50 gallons of bordeaux mixture will control the codling moth or apple worm and apple scab. Most fruit growers will find it more advisable to purchase arsenicals in the prepared form than to mix them at home, which involves much labor and care. Bordeaux mixture, which is used for spraying to prevent fun gus diseases, should be prepared at home. To get the best results a strong pressure pump with good noz zle that will throw a fine mist spray should be used. Growers should watch the develop ment of the trees closely at blossom ing time and make a thorough appli cation before the calyx of the apple closes. The leaves and stems of branches not fruiting should be cov ered with spray up to the top of the tree. The spray should be thrown from many directions so as to cover both sides of the leaves thoroughly. As a general rule the first spraying should be made just before the buds open, with 200 gallons of bordeaux mixture including poison for each 200 trees. The second application should be made just after the blossoms fall, with 850 gallons; the third applica tion ten days later; the "fourth two weeks after the third; and the fifth three weeks after the fourth. The last three sprayings should be made with 400 gallons of Bordeaux mixture and poison. shown in illustration. Bore a hole in each end and cut a notch in the mid dle. Place the board with the notch against the stakes and drive wooden or iron pins into the holes H. 15. The board can then lie removed from the pegs, place the tree in the notch and pack the soil around the roots. The Iree will thus he in the exact spot occupied by the stake, and 'u iia« with the others.

WHEELIHAN, Pres. SIBLEY LAND COMPANY 1430 FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING, CHICAGO, ILL. Misplaced Pride. Dr. Charles E. Woodruff, IT. S. A., has conducted some investigations which appear to show that the blond type is doomed to extinction in Ameri ca, says the Washington Post. "People take pride in being blondes," said Doc tor Woodruff, facetiously, at a dinner in Washington, "but if my investiga tions are correct, then this pride is misplaced—as misplaced as that of Timothy Olcott. Timothy Olcott, an urchin of wretched appearance, was haled before a Boston magistrate, charged with obstructing traffic by playing ball in Tremont street. 'Can't your parents dress you better than this?" the magistrate asked, looking with disgust at Timothy Olcott's rags. 'Me parents is dead,' Timothy blub bered. 'But you've got some friends, surely?' said the magistrate. 'l've got a brother,' the boy answered. His brow cleared and he spoke proudly. 'Where is he?' 'He's at Harvard uni versity,' said Timothy, throwing out his chest. 'ls he in a good position there?' asked the magistrate. 'No,' said Tim. 'He's in a bottle there. He WE:; born with two heads.'" Profit in Small Fruits. A meeting held at the courthouse in Snow Hill last week under the aus pices of the Snow Hill board of trade resulted in bringing out some facts with regard to the profits of small fruit culture which should be of valuable suggestiveness to other sec tions of the state. The most signifi cant statement made at the meeting was that from a strawberry farmer from over the Delaware border, who declared that the section which he represented was ten years ago a prac tically moneyless region; but this poverty-stricken area is now support ing six banks and real estate values have advanced from 200 to 400 per cent. This wonderful transformation from adversity to prosperity has been brought about by the strawberry.— Baltimore American. Census Questions. The woman flushed with sudden rage, the census man had asked her age, and might have filled full many a page with things she frankly uttered. He was no person to be balked, he guessed the figure as she talked, and when she saw that figure chalked, she got so mad she sputtered: "You say I'm forty-eight, you clown, you dare to put that libel down, why, everybody in the town knows I am twenty-seven." "And do you think," the man replied, as her bewrinkled face he eyed, "when years have fled and you have died, that you will be in heaven?" Strictly Prohibited. Some Washingtonlans went out to Hyattsville, Md., to a wedding. "Jim," said one of the Washington lans to the aged negro butler who was fussing around, "can't you get us some confetti?" "What's that?" asked Jim. "Can't you get us some confetti?" "No, suh, I can't boss. I suah cain't.

A Swede entered a postofllce in the northwest and inquired: "Ban any letters for me to-day?" "What name, please?" "Ay tank de name is on de letter."— Everybody's Magazine. A Great Teacher. Professor Sumner was of a genera tion that produced men who loved teaching for its own sake and who would let nothing interfere with their primary calling. They were men hav ing strong personalities, as well as powerful minds, and their influence was often amazing in its permanence. Under the old system of prescribed courses, few students escaped stimu lating contact with them. They shaped character and molded lives. Professor Sumner at Yale maintained his popularity to the end, his lectures being very largely attended under the elective system, and the students be ing immensely attracted by his clear ness, masculinity of thought, force of expression and absolute independence and fearlessness of conviction. To be a truly great teacher, one must have enthusiasm and even missionary zeal, one might almost say; certainly, one must intensely believe the thing taught and impress the hearer as hav ing the stuff for martyrdom, if need be, in the cause of truth. —Springfield Re publican. Chicago Sets Fast Pace for Postcard. "It's hard to keep these postcards up to date," said a dealer in picture cards depicting scenes in Chicago' at a point much frequented by out-of town visitors. "Just look at those views showing the stretch of skyscra pers along the lake front. It is a sight to thrill every true Chlcagoan with pride, but at the same time he knows that the photograph is not doing jus tice to the greatness of his city. When that photograph was taken two of the present skyscrapers were in a state of half completion and another steel mountain since erected wasn't to be seen at all. These views being sent broadcast through the country are not keeping pace with the growth of giant architecture. Fortunately, we've cleared our racks of that photo show ing cable cars running past the Ma sonic temple." A Test of Sociability. "Miss Eliza Bemis is just as nice as she can be," declared her neighbor, Mrs. Elderly, "but there's one out about her that I don't like. She isn't sociable." Her friend expressed surprise at this accusation, and began to defend Miss Eliza. "I know, I know," said Mrs. Elderly, breaking in; "that's all very well, but tell me this: did you ever see her go ing around to funerals? No, of course not, and so I don't see how you can call her sociable —real sociable, that is." —Youth's Companion. The Kind He Admired. They were basking in the warm sun shine in the gladsome country-side.

Shotwell, one of the greatest market reporters in America, writes from New York, under date of March 20th, and says: "The Tariff tangle with Canada which President Taft has taken in hand is of importance chiefly because of the multitude of American farmers that are crossing into the Canadian northwest. Most conservative esti mates of their number place it at 150,000 for 1910. Some say as many as 250,000 will cross. These are all expert farmers and their places in t.he United States are being filled by un trained men from Europe and from the cities. Canada is gaining rapidly in agricultural importance and with in a few years the United States will have to call on the Dominion for wheat. Production of wheat in the United States is not keeping pace with the population. A tariff war would complicate the problem of get ting food. Even now Canadian farm ers are getting higher prices for their cattle on the hoof and Canadian house wives are paying less for meat in the butcher shops than farmers and house wives are receiving and paying in the United States. The tariif on cattle and wheat must be removed as be tween the two countries before long." Of Another Feather. "Did you folks want any algs to« day?" called the grocery boy from the back steps. "Yes," answered the cook who was busy kneading dough. "Just iay 'em under the refrigerator." "I ain't Hen; I'm the other boy," shouted the lad from the grocery.—• Chicago Post. His Last.
