When one sees the surface of a house or other building scaling, or peeling, or spotted or blistered, or showing other symptoms of paint “dis- ease,” it is evident that a poor painter has been on the job, and that poor paint was used—or possibly that a good painter had been dominated by a@ property-owner who knew nothing about paint. It is an easy matter to be informed on paint and painting. A complete painting guide, including a book of color schemes, either for exterior or interior—specifications for all kinds of painting——and an instrument for detecting adulteration in paint ma- terial, with directions for using it, may be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York City, and asking for House- owner's Painting Outfit No. 49. Then, every houseowner should make it a point to get only well- known reliable brands in buying his materials. Pure white lead is espe- cially important, or the paint will not prove satisfactory. The famous “Dutch Boy Painter” trademark of National Lead Company, the largest makers of pure white lead, is an ab- solute guarantee of the purity and quality of the white lead sold under it. That trademark is a safeguard against paint trouble. Way. “That is the last word in Easter hats.” “The last word, eh?

STARTING AN ORCHARD IN THE RIGHT WAY ————— Pruning and Cultivating Are Necessary to Secure the Best Results—By Prof. V. H. Davis, Ohio Agricultural College. The first few years of the life of an orchard is the most critical period of its existence, because neglect is tore likely to occur and the injuries done at this time can, in many cases, never be overcome by subsequent good care. In my orchard of some 8,000 apple trees are a few hundred each of pear, plum, cherry and peach, a plan somewhat as follows was pursued in selecting apple, pear, cherry and plum stock: I took trees not more than two years old from bud or graft. In my judg- ment, trees of this age will stand transplanting better than older ones, and in the end will make better trees. Peach trees are large enough at one year and should never be older. Trees were ordered in the fall for spring shipment, at which season, in my case, they were set out. I bought from the large nurseries that grow their own stock and deliver direct from their own grounds. The small nursery in the locality of the orchard is usually preferable for small quantities of plants, but is not available for large orders. I never buy from agents, be- cause I object to paying their commis- sion. The nurseryman who is largely a dealer is also avoided, for every time trees are handled the chance of mixing varieties increases and it becomes more difficult to fix responsibility in case of misrepresentation. Nurserymen are responding to the popular demand for low-headed trees, but they are not low enough yet. The first branches should be not more than 30 inches from the ground and less would usually be preferable. Ship- ments should be made as early in the spring as weather conditions will per- mit and upon arrival the trees should be unpacked and “heeled in” at once. Transplanting should be done just as early as the soil will work readily. The roots should never be exposed for any length of time to the sun and wind, and should always go into the soil wet. In the morning we take up form the scaffold branches of the fu- ture top. These should be situated alternately along the trunk, but never opposite each other, and should be cut back to spurs five to ten inches in length. The others are removed en- tirely. Each of these spurs will throw out several branches the first season, but the ends of the spurs will usually dry out and begin to decay. The second pruning is confined al- most wholly to the removal of the dead tips of these branches or spurs. These are cut back to the base of the first new branches, and if the wood shows no decay the wound is left to heal. If, however, there are signs of decaying wood, the cut is made at the ar" tN nat se) ety ied aS rhe Four-Year-Old Tree After Pruning. base of the next branch and so on un- til solid wood is found. Otherwise the decay will run back into the main branches, or even to the trunk of the tree, and eventually cause its death. Every branch that does not mar the general form of the top is left on the little tree during the second: season to bear leaves and manufacture plant THE PROPER W AY OF PRUNING.

These are placed on a sled or wagon and covered at once with straw, carpet or burlap and water thrown over the entire bundle until thorough- ly wet. Immediately after transplant- ing, the trees should be well mulched with hay, straw, manure or any ma- terial not too coarse. This mulching is essential, no mat- ter whether the clean culture or the sod mulch system is to be followed. The mulch not only holds moisture around the roots, but keeps the soil loose and mellow. A good tree well planted and well mulched will make Four-Year-Old Tree Before Pruning. a surprising growth the first year. I have measured as much as five feet in our own orchard in soil considered poor. Pruning is the one operation of the orchard most neglected or improperly done. As to the roots, they require little pruning, because 50 per cent. or more of the root system is left in the soil, even with the most careful dig- ging. All broken or mangled roots should be cut off smoothly back to solid wood, in order to give the wounds a chance to heal readily. A root much longer than the others may be cut back for the sake of symmetry and ease of transplanting. After transplanting, the top is cut back to correspond to the loss of roots. Otherwise the evaporation of moisture from the top may be more rapid than the broken roots can ab- sorb it, and the trees suffer, if not die outright. With apple, pear, plum and cherry from three to five branches should be selected from those on the tree as it comes from the nursery, to s (b) Same pruned after transplanting.

Root growth depends upon the leaves just as much as branch and leaf growth depends upon the roots, and the root system, weakened by trans- planting, needs the stimulus of all the plant food possible in order to renew the parts destroyed. This renewed vigor immediately manifests itself in growth of top, and the less the equi- librium between root and top is dis- turbed the greater will be the ten- dency to bear fruit so far as the prun- ing factor alone is concerned. Sub- sequent pruning should consist largely in thinning out the superfluous branches and wayward growths suffi- cient to admit proper amounts of air and sunshine. Many branches marked for removal the second or third season may very profitably be left until they have borne fruit for several years. Mice injuries are prevented by clean- ing up all rubbish in which they might breed and congregate, keeping the soil around the tree for two or three feet perfectly bare. Frequently a_ little mound of earth six or eight inches high is piled and tramped solidly around the base of the tree. So far as rabbit injuries are concerned, the re- moval of all brush, briars, weeds, etc., in which they are most likely to con- gregate, together with a liberal use of the gun and ferret, have prevented any serious trouble with me so far. Pesteurizing Milk.—It is generally conceded that pasteurizing milk adds nothing to its wholesomeness. In fact, it is generally believed that pure milk is injured more or less by pasteuriza- tion. Milk that has not been produced under sanitary conditions and which may contain disease producing germs, is far more beneficial and wholesome if pasteurized than if used in the raw state. In other words, pasteurization will improve faulty products but will not improve pure products. The best authorities agree that it is better to feed pasteurized milk to children than to feed them the average milk as it is delivered in the cities. We think that all will agree that if they can get pure and wholesome milk pasteurization will not improve it for infent feed. ing. Practice of Dehorning.—Dehorning affects the cows but little in the milk flow and fat production and not at all if done three or four weeks before calving. We have seen a great many cows dehorned and as a whole no ill results whatever come from this prac- tice. It is a rather cruel operation when the horn is being removed but after the operation is over the cow suffers but little, if any. Real Water. Visitor—Is this lake in your garden artificial?
