Cut out a vigorous bud. with about a half Inch or more of bark and wood below ths bud and about an, eighth or a quarter of an Inch abovo the bud. Cut oil the leaf In the axil of which lies the one to within an Inch or so Irom the bua leaving only, the bottom as a handle to assist you In the opera ion. Now ct't out all tho wood from the bark save a very, little under the bua Some cut it eu tlrely out. Cut through ine bark of the tree, stock the letter T and with an Ivory, or pollshtd bone blade or stmethlng that Is thin no smooth open or scparato the bark Horn the wood BUDDING KNIFE.

Wind and ' tie around the .ree stock and lnser-' tion, commencing at the bottom, strips of bass matting, leaving only the bud exposert to the air. You can tell within two o:- three weeks wheth er the buds have set or not If they do not tht budi. will dry up. shrink and. die. but if successful they will , look vigorous. j In from two to three weeks cut tho strips of matting and remove them, thus giving all a enance to expand.

In the spring, after 'he bud ha started to grow remove the top of the tree or branch to within a few Inches of tho bud, so that the sap will more generall:1 flow Into It, and ' as the shoot ascenas tie it to the re-1 malning stock to prevent the winds I wrenching and breaking It. Peach. ' trees are buddeu, and so are most kinds of tone fruit. Principles oi Plowing. I'rof. V. M. Shoesmlth, of tho Ohio Agricultural College, In a publication of that institution, says: I "Plowing is practiced mainly foe two reasons (1) the turning under, of stubble, manure, weeds and otheo vegetable matter, and (2) the pulver ization of the sol.. If manure and stubble are left oil the surface cf th soil, they prevtnt the proper opera tion of surface working implements;! 1 and, furthermore, they decay very slowly If manure Is mixed with tho soil, it soon decomposes and becomes available for the usa of crops. Plow ing also makes ne soli mora loose by giving It bate, drainage, and by raaklne its capacity for holding water 1 greater." Movlna Larai Tr Large trees may be transplanted by, digging around them In winter and allowing the earth to be frozen solid,' which makes a mass of frozen earth and roots e.sy to be taken up and dragged on a sleu away to the new,, location. The place to which tbV tree la to be moved should be pre-1 pared beforehand and covered wlti enough straw and leaves to keep out, the frost. , Grass In Orchard. k3od culture '3 recommended by some successful peach growers. The soil is worked during the time the trees aro growing, and a clover crop Is sowed for fall and wlntor which is plowed under early In tho spring. Clover crops should not be left until they suck up too must moisture from the soli at a time when it is needed by the trees. AMATEUIt ENTKUTAINERS. Do "Parlor Tricks" nnd You Mny Sometime lie n .Miifilclnn. Did you ever covet tho power of tho mngiclan? Did you over go to tho theatre, see him snatch coins out of the air and mako a plant grow out of tho stnge lloor and then go homo and wish you could do somo of tho stunts. Of course you have. If you still want to learn, hero's your chance. On the q. t., a reporter for Tho At lanta Journal has got tho Inside dope on theso. tricks from one of the big gest magicians in the country. Ho draws $1,000 a week. Most magicians start by learning "parlor tricks" to work on their friends. Hero aro a few that any boy can perform: This ono Is called tho "dissolving penny." Go to somo glazier and have him cut out a circular ploco of glass exactly the size of a penny. Hide this glass penny up your slcevo. Mil a tumbler full of water and ask for the loan of a handkerchief and a penny. Take the handkerchief, shake It In tho air. This action helps you bring tho glass out of your sleovo OISSOCV" wo eY Into your hand. Allow tho handker chief to cover your hand so ns to keep the glass penny hidden. Then pretend to shove the real penny up under tho handkerchief. Instead you drop it down your sleeve and push the glass one up. Let somp ono hold the handkerchief with this In it while you push the tumbler of water under the loose ends of the handkerchief. Tell the person to let go the penny nnd the glass falls Into the tumbler. Make a few passes over the tum bler, let the spectators see the prn ny has been dissolved. Then on your way back to the table let the penny in your sleeve slip Into your hand and pretend to take It from the tumbler. Try tho "flre-proof handkerchief trick. Borrow n handkerchief and fit it tightly over a brass or copper ball. Aii old brass doorknob will do for tho ball. With the tongs pick a red hot coal from the grate and place It on the top of the ball. The coal will burn but' the handkerchief won't. The reason Is that orass Is a better conductor of heat than tho nandkor chlef. The heat passes directly to the metal. Better try this trick with an old handkerchief until you learn to do U well. Always talk and tell funny stories during your tricks so as to take the attention of tho spectators off your hands. Another good trick is done with an empty egg shell. Rip out the bottom of the pocket In your coat. Drop the egg shell into the pocket WITH A so that It coes on tho floor, lean against tho tablo while talking and smash the eKK shell. The audience will hear It and think you have brok. een the egg In your pocket. Then turn tho pocket wrong side out and show them that there is nothing there at all. You can havo still more fun with this trick by dropping four or flvo empty egg shells In the pocket. Tako off tho coat and smash tho eggs witn a hammer. All you have to do then is to turn tho pocket wrong side out and show the spectators that It Is perfectly empty and free from crush ed eggs. Childhood's Imagination. Rarlv mental processes easily par take of the fanciful. It Is for this reason that many children lie. They cannot differentiate truth and false hood. They must learn by experl enco tho difference between reality ana dream impressions. Thero Is a familiar story about a woman who was seeking to teach her little girl the value of truth. The girl had been told the story of Annanlas and Sapphlra. "Don't you know what happened to them?" asked tho In structor. "Yes," replied the child Thov fell dead, and I saw them car rlod into tho corner drug store." Yet there was nothing wicked in this youngster1, nor hopeless in her out lood. Htlll her imagination could not be said to need stimulating. Raining Flukes of Bait. A llttlo boy from tho far South visiting Chicago, on seeing the first snowstorm, oxclalmod, "O, mamma, It's raining breakfast food," era i' &zrr i ' Wl r- QOAT RAISING IN MISSOURI. Blnford Ranch Has BOO Animals and Others Nearly as Many. Adair county Is one of the big goat producing counties of Missouri, The goats, says the Kansns City Star, aro not raised for mutton alone, but alno for the purpose of clearing up under brush. They will go through a thicket llko a rifle bullet and cat It to the ground, peeling saplings nnd stumps so that thoy will never sprout again. The goats get as fat as butter balls on such forage. Then they nre ship ped to market nnd sold to city folk for the choicest mutton. Blnford Ranch, the largest stock farm In this country, has produced as many as flvo hundred goats In ono yesr, which were shipped to mnrket after the shrubs were cleaned off the pastures. Soveral other ranches In the county have producod nearly as many goats. Not Going to Take It. Hamlsh was a thrifty Scot, and like many of his race, an enthusiast over golf. But one day Hamlsh had such peculiar and unpleasant feelings that he reluctantly consulted a physllclan. "You've overdone the matter of exercise, man," said the doctor, after Hamlsh had detailed his symptoms. 'You must give yourself a day's quiet now nnd then, and avoid exposure. How often do you piny golf?" "Every day but the Sabbath," said Hamlsh rising. "You mii3t be more tomperate at it," said the physician. "Twice a week In good weather is enough for you." "Good day," said Hamlsh, moving toward the door. "You've not paid me for my ad vice." said the doctor, who knew his man. "Nao, for I'm nae taking It," said Hamlsh, as he reached tho door and made his escape. Youth's Compan ion. Building a Reputation. Young physicians In the smarter towns have an Idea that appearing very busy will help them greatly in starting a practice. The following is told by a Senator, Dr. Godfrey Hunter of Kentucky. Dr. Hunter had n call the afternoon following the hanging out of his shingle and started through town In his buggy at terrific speed. A policeman stopped the enterprising physician. "Doctor," he said, "It Is against tho city ordinance to drive at the speed you are going. You must accompany me to the Judge and pay your fine." "What is the fine?" Inquired the doctor. "Five dollars." The doctor's hand flew to his pocket. "Here's $10; I have to come back Just as fast as I am going." Success Magazine. Mysterious African Pool. Describing before tho Royal Geo graphical society last evening his four years' wanderings In northern Rhode sia, S. A. Neave referred to a large, deep and mysterious pool In the val ley of the upper Kafue river, north western Rhodesia. This wonderful pool, he said, lies In a flat country and one comes to It quite suddenly, its banks being concealed by dense for ests. There Is a small native village near tho pool, and the inhabitants havo a superstitious dread of It. Thoy refuse to drink the water or use It for any purpose whatever. To sit beside this still, pellucid pool of unknown depth, surrounded by preclptous walls in the heart of the tropical forest, would In duce a feeling of awe In the breast of even the most civilized man. Lon don Dally Mall. Ear a Marvellous Instrument. Wonderful as are the functions of the eye the ear appears to be a yet more marvellous Instrument. People with good hearing do not appreciate the Inexplicable delicacy of the little Instrument that Nature has Implanted on each side of their heads. But ana tomists appreciate without being able to understand It. There Is hardly any trouble with the eye that they cannot adjust, but not so with the ear, says the Detroit Free Press. When its fairy mechanism is Jangled and out of tune It Is often Impossible to restore Its functions. It is the greatest mys tery of the human organism. Meaning of Cemetery. It la not correct to say that "ceme tery" means the "city of the dead." The word Is from the Greek "Kolme torlon," meaning sleeping place, not the place of the dead. There Is nothing In the etymology of the word to war rant us In thinking thaflt was orlgl pally Intended to convey the idea that the departed were really deud any more than there Is In the old Hebrew term for cemetery "Bethalm" the house of the living. "A Beaut." The golden-haired song bird had Just bowed to her audience when a man rushed frantically upon the stage and cried: "Is there n physician in the house?' A young man in the third row, blushing with embarrassment, arose, "Say, Doc," asked the man on ths stage, with a Jerk on his thumb toward the singer, "ain't Bhe a beaut?" Life's Turning Points.

These aro the myBtlc number and its multiplies, with odd numbers, 21, 35, 49 and 63, The most important of all was the 63d year, which was considered fatal to most moo. m FOR A t Theme: TRUSTING IN GOD. BY GEORGE W. HAYNIE. Text: 24. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 33. But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteous ness and all these things shall be added to you. (Matt. 6:24-33 Inclu elve.) Is this true? Christ said so. Then It must be so, for If Christ's statement is untruo in one point, it must be un true in all. But, thank God, wo hnvc tested Him In a few things and fount! Him true. Therefore the positive statement Is correct. Hence the error of the Esaus who proved traitors to the glorious who soever will gospel. They failed to be lieve the promise of Christ that all these things should be added unto them so far as It was to the glory ot God and the advancement of Me cause upon enrth. Either they fniled to lay hold upon, Christ's promise, or they were not satisfied with what they believed He desired them to have and, therefore, they went abbut In search after "large things," more money and prominence In the eyea of the world, and that, too, in direct dis obedience to Christ's positive com mand which says: (31), "Therefore, take no thought, saying, what shall we oat? or what shall we drink? or where withal Bhall we be clothed?" Christ goes further and Illustrates by the fowls of the air, which God feeds, and nsks: "Are ye not much more than they?" He also calls their attention to the llllies of tho field, nnd tells them that 'Solomon In all his glory was not ar rayed like one of these." "Trust in God and do good, and verily thou shalt be fed," Is as troc to-day as It was at any time since th beginning of creation. If these things are true, what's the matter? God's "arm Is not shortened tbi He cannot save, nor His ear hew. that He cannot hear." If your fellov man showed by his actions that he d' trusted you, then you would lni'vc dlatoly become suspicious that t!x-i was something the matter with him That being so, should we expect (io to trust us with "all these things ' when knowing all these things. He knows we are not trusting Him to sur ply them? Certainly not We lnvf no right to expect Him to do any thing for us unless we trust Him I id pllcltly for tho things we want, aw go about their attainment accordlnt to Christ's command, "Seek ye firs the Kingdom of God and His righe ousness." When we follow His com mand and trust In ills promises. w will find them always true. Never w'l they fall to stnnd the test. I once knew a man In North Geor gla by name of Miller Willis. Some people said he was a fool; some said crazy; more still called him a fanatic. But he never started anywhere that God did not provide a way. If he felt that God wanted him In a distant part of the State, he would Just go dovn to the depot and there was always someone there 'to buy his ticket. If the place was off the railroad, he would Just got his Bible and go to the big road, and the Ixird always sent someone along with wagon or buggy to take Miller Willis where he be lieved God wanted him. Why .Just because Miller Willis was always ready to "go where You want me to go, dear Lord, and to be what You want me to be. What the Lord did for Miller Willis He would have done for the Esaus, who, Instead of trusting Him, went off In their own way, hunting for "larger things." There being no chariot convenient where Philip baptized the Enoch, God Just picked Phlllp up and set him down again where He wanted him. Why? Because Phillip believed Im plicitly that He would do so, and wns willing to go or do Just as God willed. What was true of Phillip nnd the apostles, what was also true of Miller WIIUb, of North Georgia twenty years npo, would be equally as true of every minister of the Lord Jesus Christ to day It they will only sink absolutely out of self Into Christ. The more of self we have, the loss we have of Christ. The less of self, the more of Christ. Then "lot us hear the conclusion of the whole matter": Whenever we ab solutely lose our Identity, when the ego Is all gone and Christ reigns su preme; ye can "ask what ye will nnd it will be done unto you." Cumber land Presbyterian. A Prayer of St. Jerome. Show Thy mercy to me, O Lord, to glad my heart wHhal. Let me find Thee, for whom I long. Lo, here the man that was caught of thieves, wounded, and left half dead, as be was going towards Jericho: Thou kind-hearted Samaritan, tako me up. I am the sheep that is gone astray; O good Shepherd, seek me out, and bring me home to Thy fold again. Deal favorably with me according to Thy good pleasure, that I may dwell In Thy house all the days ot my life, and pralso Tbeo for ever and ever with them that aro there. Amen. St. Je- . ' :oo A. D,) TC N MEAT IS DOME. Scientific Device Worthy a Place In Every Kitchen. Cooks are accustomed to cut Into a piece of meat when cooking, to prod vegetables with a fork, and to um; Blmllar primitive methods of ascer taining the stage to which tho roast ing or boiling process has advanced Tho llrst rea'.ly scientific dovlco to measure the temperaturo Insldo n piece of cooking food has recently been Invented In Copenhagen, Den mark. It Is called a "tho mo needle," nnd consists of n thin motnl tube, pointed at one end nnd containing a spring held In tension by an alloy melting at n specified temperature, which Is that desired for cooking. Tho melting of this alloy releases tho spring and shoots up a pin as a signal that tho desired temperature exists In the Interior of the food Into which the "needle" has been thrust. As tho instrument Is withdrawn, tho pin Is pushed down and held while tho fusi ble alloy "sets." when the devise Is ready for use again. A Land Without Tramps. Switzerland Is not a place for tramps, because the man out of em ployment nnd who makes no effort to find work Is not tolerated for a mo ment In that country. The district authorities will secure him a Job at hard labor and llttlo pay, and such an offer can be refused only under tho penalty of going to a penal work house. These institutions are under military discipline, the work Is se vere, the wages a fnny or three pence per day and rclcase'Is granted only upon the advice of those In charge. In every part of Switzerland aro established "relief i- kind" stations for the exclusive i se of respectable unemployed. Only those are admitted who have had regular work during the previous three months and havo been out of employment for at least five days. These men must be on tho lookout for work and accept any situ ation that Is offered, because the chionlc loafer Is soon detected by tho police and Mr papers are marked so that he can re. or asaln seek refuge In a "station."- Harper's Weekly.

Here and there measureb are being taken to lessen the plague, and by some lew county councils tho protec tion once accoided has been with drawn. Gulls are responsible for an eiior mous destruction of fish, as well as raids on tho eggs and young of vari ous birds. In many parts of Scotland the lesser black backed gulls have be come the veriest vermin, in this re spect rivaling the hooded crow and common rook, the latter another re cent development of unwise overpro- servatton Country Life.
