Horticultural Facts TIME TO PRUNE FRUIT TREES Average Farm Should Not Be Treated Until Middle of March or April. Many people deprive themselves of the best results from pruning of their orchard trees by doing it at the wrong season of the year. The injurious effect arising from improper selection of time to do the work, often offsets the good to be gained from the pruning hook or knife. Os course, where one has a large orchard it is often necessary to commence the work before it would be advisable on smaller plantations because pruning requires time and one might not be able to get through the orchard before It woifftl be too late in the spring. For large orchards, no choice of time can be made because the pruning of a ten-acre orchard would require practically a month's time If ten hours per I M If, J ■ ' ■ ' --7 . Well-Pruned Windsor Cherry Trees— Such Trees May Be Sprayed More Easily and Are Less Subject to Disease and Insect Attack Than Neglected Trees. day were spent in the work. One has , to start In the winter In order to get through before the sap commences to rise in the spring. For the small orchard, however, the average farm orchard of an acre or f loss in size, the pruning should not be done until from the middle of March to the middle of April, just before the sap commences to rise. If special reasons interfere as to why the work cannot bo done at this time, then the old adage of “whan your knife is sharp and you are so inclined.’’* Wounds made in the spring, however, just before the sap commences to rise begin healing at once, while wounds made earlier in the season, as in December and January start healing several weeks later because the cold drying winds have killed the exposed layers of cells in the growing tissues. Many authorities agree that the time of pruning Is not so fm pprtant as the ’manner in which it is done. The cuts should be made with a sharp knife or saw and close to the remaining branch. Such cuts heal promptly and thoroughly, while jagged cuts hat ing a stub often will not heal at all, no matter at what season of the year they are made. TO SAVE BORDEAUX MIXTURE Oregon Experiment Station Finds Addition of Little Sugar Will Preserve Material. Fruit growers who use bordeaux mixture are well acquainted with the fact that the material that is left in the tank over night, or which for some cause must be left standing for a considerable period, loses its effectiveness. A great deal of waste is occasioned by this instability of bordeaux mixture. But at the Oregon Experiment station it lias been found that a little sugar put in the bordeaux mixture will overcome all of the trouble. Bordeaux mixture thus treated can lie held an indefinite length of time and used the same as freshly made Bordeaux. This method will save the spray for future use when rain or a breakdown prevents the grower from finishing out his tank. In the course of the investigations it was found that the quantity of sugar to use is one-eighth ounce of ordinary granulated sugar for every pound of copper sulphate used. Joo much sugar will cause the copper to dissolve. Dissolve the sugar a* the rate of one well rounded, but. not heaping, teaspoonful of sugar in one quart of waler, and use this solution nt the rate of one-half pint for every pound of bordeaux required. In other words, » rounded teaspoonful of sugar dissolved in a quart of water is sufficient for 50 gallons of 4-4-50 bordeaux mixture. STUDY MANY FARM PROBLEMS Soil, Crop, Animal Disease*.

FARM RESIDENCE BURNED Home of Theodore Fetters Destroyx ed on Thursday Morning Tho country home of Theodore Fetters, three-fourths of a mile east of file Jefferson Center School, was destroyed by fire at about 2 o'clock Thursday morning. The origin of the flames Is not known. The roar of the tire had awakened members of the family from their sleep. When discovered, the fire had such a start that it could not be extinguished. Tho flames had started in the attic near the roof. A hurried telephone call was sent to the Snyder telephone exchange ami neighbors wore called for assistance. Help came too lato to save the bouse, but a volunteer bucket brigade succeeded in saving the other buildings. The house was completely destroyed. The furniture of the first floor was practically all saved, but the household goods and most of the clothing, which were in the upstair < rooms, were destroyed Two incubators, one of which was set, were de- 1 stroyed; also all of the canned fruit. o Richard Sederberg, of Pittsburgh, is said to have invented a machine that experts believe may solve the problem of eliminating vibration. This machine makes use of the principle of dynamic or running balancing, and it is so delicately adjusted that with it, it is believed very small rotating parts may be balanced so that they revolve absolutely without vibration. The world's largest suspension bridge, now in course of construction over the Delaware river, between Philadelphia. Pa., and Camden, N. J., will have only two cables on which a dead weight of 33,000 tons of metal will be suspended. The cables will be the largest ever made. Each will be 30 inches in, diameter and will be made up of 16,500 strands of high grade car bon steel wire. A thermometer has been invented in France for the benefit of blind persons.

MARKETS-STOCKS Daily Report of Local and Foreign Markets New York, March 31. —Trading at the opening of the Stock Exchange today was rather listless. United States Steel started up ' at lO’tz and shortly increased its gain to quarter. Bethlehem Steel on the other hand and notwithstanding the announcement of the Midvale merger had been completed, showed a loss of half of a point on the first sale at 6514 The apathy with which the street received the merger announcement was evidenced by the fact that it was some time after the opening before the first sale of Midvale at 30'4, up 14, was recorded.
