The "Pull" and the Job.
s ; men arc constantly being
postcivd by young men who seek posi
tions throujrh letters of rcconiuiendn-
tiou. often in the form of personal re
quests from fellow business men. One
may "well question whether these let
ters have any great "pulling" power
afler all. The Saturday Evening Post
tells of such an instance. After beins
very politely \dismissed by several
mj"vgoro with the stereotyped expres
sion that there was not a vacancy at
present , the young man tore up the let
ters and went back to the place last
visited.
"What can I do for you now ? " the
manager asked in an annoyed tone.
"Pardon-ine , " said the young man ,
"but I've just torn up those letters.
!
Could yon give me a job on my own
hook ? "
The manager looked amused and
said : ' 'We need a young fellow to chip
castings in the machine shop at JG a
week. If yon like , you can have that
until something better turns tip. "
"Yes , sir , " replied the job hunter
"I'm ready now. "
Queen Sophia and Bismarck.
Queen Sophia of the Netherlands , the
first wife of King V\"iliain ! III. of Hol
land , was too great a friend of Em
peror Xapolcon III. , the Empress Eu
genic and of Franco generally to take
kindly to Bismarck. Before tha big
war" of 1 70 and p" ' ably some time
after tlo Lizzembourg r.qv.albe ! lucre
was an international exhibition in Am
'
sterdam. which the queen visited. She
v.cs conducted ovcr..the whole place by
tlio commutes , and as they came to a
eerttiu section one of the members
cnld , "Now your , majesty' will see the
.ci-Giitest enemy of Germany. " "Ah ,
Bismarck : " she cried , with some glee.
The mcmoeri stood aghast and never
repeated this rash exclamation. The
"greatest enemy" ho had to. exhibit
was cot , of course , Bismarck at all ,
but only a very nruch enlarged repro
duction of cither the phylloxera or * the
Colorado beetle , which at that time did
a great deal ot" harm to Gerinrm agri-

REPAIRING TREES.
Protecting and Preserving Injured
j Trunk and Branch.
It is the part of wisdom to be able
to administer first aid to the injured
tree , as well as the more permanent
aids. One of the most common of these
is tha splitting down of a limb , as sug
gested in accompanying illustration ,
Fig. 1.
If the limb is not broken wholly off
if there is still left a connecting link ot
W
BKOKKX LIMB S.VVED.
[ Fig. 1 , split Kmb ; Fte. " , in posit.ion.1
sound wood and of sound bark the
i limb can witli care be n.ivecl. This will
j often save Ih ? beauty of the tree.
j With as KUlo felay as possible shorten
j all llu small branches of the limb to
maize their weight as little as possible ,
then carefully lift tlu broken limb
back into portion and lu h it firmly
with ropes or strap * .
Now with a bit or auger bore a hole
through tlie Kmb anil tree trunk as
suggested by the dotto 1 line in Fig. 2.
Through this in-ort a bolt of iron bav
in ? ; a bead cj rno oul : and a nri on the1
other. Turn tlu n-t on iY * eid. with a
" ! ' beneath if. until t'ae
big \vn"ii' crack
in the break ha < ? boon made a * small

ly over with gi'aflir.g wax. Many a
tree lias such si gaping wound as that
shown iu A , VI. : 2. It is cause-1 by
GAPEN'O WOtDTD REPAIRED.
sawing off a big Kmb and neglecting
to protect the wound until nature
could extend a new growth of bail ;
over it. The new bark has begun to
grow about the edges , but the wood
has decayed within , and nature can
carry growth of bark no further.
Cut out all the decayed wood and fill
the cavity completely with portlaud ce
ment mixed with water , advises a
writer in Orange .ludd Fanner. Do not
add sand. Fill the cavity and pres the
cement close to the now bark ( B , Fig.
. ' > ) that there may be left no little
opening for air and water to enter.
The life of a tree can be prolonged for
many years by such aid as this.
ecli. g of Novelties.
There are every year a l _ > t of novel
ties brought to our attention. There is
always temptation for the testing of
novelties , although the old and experi
enced gardeners and fruit g-o\ver.i
have learned to expect very little froi'i
the uew tilings most widely advertised ,
says Country ( leutlema-i. There are
doubtless a good iua\v people wffii
want to lost the seedless apple. If they
are uot perfectly satisfied that the
thing h worlhle-s such people certain-
j ly oi'g'it to te t it untillhey _ aiv satis

keep i" I ouch with the new schemes ,

Goat Talk.
Angora goats generally live twice as
* long as sheep.
Poultry fence not wire netting-
makes the best inclosure for goats.
Goats are fond of the bark of maple
and apple trees and will quickly kill
an ot chard.
Absolutely pure bred Auroras bring
extremely high prices. Low priced
animals are generally of mixed blood.
A healthy goat will eat about ToO
pounds of liny in one winter , but will
mannge to get along on a reasonably
good brush pasture in summer without
anything ele.
He seonis to have a rn-efersiice for
weeds and underbrush and will give
nice sweci grass the go by when he
can set the coarser browsing. Hone

Olc ! Land For Onions.
Old lau-1 i ; generally preferred' for
onions , and thi- > crop is often success
fully raised on the pame laud for many
years. From the fact tint onion land
is always most carefully at e.idcd to
and gets much manure and tillage It is
generally in better condition for onions - !
ions than land used for almost any |
'
other crop. However , it is a good plan
to occasionally change the land for on
ions , since on new IanJ _ there is far
less danger from di-'ease and insect
enemies than on old land. As a raonev
crop for careful growers onions are iu
sections very reliable. Green.
CO
Tillage , Pruning snd Spraying Often
Start Strong Growth.
Altogether tbe mo t profitable or
chards rr-e the : e sot in rc c-ut times
or at least put oiU in the modern uiotii-
orl. They ure composed of strong ,
healthy , vigorous trees which practi
cally cover the- ground and among
which there are no blanks. On many
farms , however , there are smalleror ,
larger tracts of old orchard , many of
which are worthless and many more o
which are not distinctly profitable-
Process of Rejuvenation.
Some of these old orchards could he
rejuvenated. They could be brought
into reasonably good bearing and to a
point where they would really pay a
profit. Xo\v , the rejuvenation of an
old orchard is a fairly simple matter ,
providing it is properly understood.
The important point is that it does not
consist in the application of any single
patent remedy. Spraying will not do
the work. Pruning will not cure all
the troubles. Tillage alone will be
worth very little. The only way to get
the desired result is to apply proper
] methods all along the line. The soil
should be loosened up and proper drain
age provided. The trunks should be
scraped clean and spread with copper
sulphate or bordeaux mixture. Old
dead limbs should be cut out. A rea
sonable but not excessive pruning
should be given. Thorough spraying
should be undertaken.
Unprofitable Vcriccics.
In case the trees are of mixed or un
profitable varieties they should be re-
grafted to standard sorts. It is not
likely that additional plant food will
be required at first , except on soils
very much depleted. AU orchard taken
vigorously in hand in the matter of
tillage , pruning and spraying is apt to
start into a ttrong growth at once , and
if a good deal of raw fcrlillner is ap
plied there may easily be more growth
than is desirable. However , one must
keep his ecs open , and in case the
trees show the want of more food it
should be given. It is really a coin-
parathely easy matter if all these
things are systematical/ ! attended tote
to bring an old orchard round , accord
ing to Country Gentleman. It requires
from tw"o to live years to do it , depend
ing on the condition of things when
the matter is taken in hand.
SURFACE GRADING.
An Implement Used In Preparing Land
For Irrigr.tion.
Cue of the implement * in use in pre
paring land for irrigation is1 the grader
shown in the sketch. The land is first
plowed and then well graded. The
grader consists of an oak frame at
tached to three low metal wheels and
two steel shod wooden runners. The
cutting blade is five and a half feet
long , twenty inches wide and curved.
A WHEELED GRADER/
The blade is raised or lowered by
means of a hand wheel , and when a
load has been collected by cutting off
the knolls the machine is locked by
the foot of the teamster and driven
to the nearest low place , ' where it may
be dumped in a heap or scattered out
in a thin layer. It takes two horses to
pull it in loose , granular soil , but three
and occasionally four may be required
in firm hard soil. The cost is about
Disinfection of Stables.
In discxissing the importance of the
disinfection of stables and the danger
of neglecting it Dr. Ilaring of Califor
nia points out /'negligence in prop
erly disinfecting stalls and stable *
whei-e animals affected with conta
gious diseases have been is frequently
the cause of a reappearance of the dis
ease. " The germs of glanders , for ex
ample. may remain alive iu stabies for
several months after the diseased ani
mals have been removed , and if thor
ough disinfection is not resorted to all
animals housed in the stable are sub
ject to infection from this source.
"Many failures to eradicate tuberculo
sis from daily herds by the repeated
application of the tuberculosis test and
the prompt removal of all reacting ani
mals arc due to the fact that the sta
bles were not. disinfected. " Tubercu
losis spreads rapidly among cattle
closely herded together.To prevent
this stables should be thoroughly disin
fected at least once a * year.
New England White Pine.
White pine is easily the leading
packing box material of New England
and 344 box factories were reputed in
the six 5s"ew England states in 1003.
Of a total consumption of G00.433.00U
board feet white pine furnished Sl.S
per cent , or more than four times as
much asill other kinds combined. For
the boxmakers it is an ideal wood , and
the manufacturers would be hard
'pressed to iind a suitable substitute.
Practically all of the wood used in
the manufacture of such boxes is ob
tained locally , and of late years a
shortage of lumber suitable for the
purpose has confronted the New Eng
land box manufacturers , as they de
pend for their supply of lumber main
ly upon farmers' wood lots. Forestry
authorities assert that the land now
producing pine can be made to produce
moip and that land which now bears
a growth of inferior trees can be made
to produce pine.
