Just how to prune a fruit tree Is not easy to toll Kach tree must be pruned to suit clictimstances. The principal thought must bo to glvo It light, air, a good form, and prevent Its growth so It will split opait some day. For Instance, train tlio young treo so It will not spread Its main branches nt one point. "Open the top" Is tho cry of most primers, and a good one. Once every jenr, sometimes twice, wo have to tell you to wait for a good soaking rain and then throw a couplo of forkfuls ot straw manure nround ovory newly planted tree on the placo Do It first chance Don't nsk why go do It. Old I'etor Tumbledown lets his orchard glow Into a tough sod, and Is surprised that his neighbor, who docs not, has larger and liner fruit than ho. Ho does not seem to know that tough sod will not do for nn orchard. When a twig of jour tree appears as as If covered with ashes, look shorp for San .loio scale; also, If when the bnrk of Infected twigs Is Jcroped on oily jellowlsb liquid appears on tho surface. If any fiult should bo thinned It Is tho plum. Nature lieielf, tecognlzing that Ibis f i tilt Is pi one to ovorncar, sheds fomo fruit In oaily stnumor. This Is not enough, however, and tho grower should continue the process af ter tlio Juno drop. Muzzle tho horse In tlio young orch ard and tlo up the single trees with fertilizer bags. Frequent harrowing will destroy weeds by killing tlioiu while still very young and tender. Ict no grain ripen near a young tree. Don't fotget to go to a picnic occa sionally this summer, It Is not time lost. Olvo tho women and children the recreation and change which is es ' sontial to their woll being. Tho farm er who Is so "praetlrnl" that ho docs not bollee In rccioatlon Is practically Idiotic in his blindness Ho gets a fair share of change and recreation for himself In his weekly or semi weekly trips to town where ho gos I sips at the stores. Let him be wlso enough to give his family tho samo I amount of chnngo fiom the hiimihum j and drudgery of tho farm I la will "got more work out of them" In tho course of a year and a lifetime thnn I he ever will by holding thorn contlntl ally at toll GRAVEL AND SHELLS. Gravel Is valueless unless It Is slinip. As soon as tho fowl rounds oft a sharp substance In the gizzard. It In voided; honco, hens prefer sharp shells to round grael. The teason they eat more shells or mote sharp grit of any Mud when they aro lay lug Is because mote food Is then re quired, nn.l consequently theie Is bet tor digestion. If an egg lias specks or llakeB ot lime on the shell It does not Imply that It Is due to feeding oys ter Hholls, ns tho same thing occurs when no oyster shells are given. It may also bo duo to the food As a iiilo such hens nro fat.

That America derives its name from Amerigo Vespucci has long been re garded as a certainty. Now, however, a historian comes forward and as sures us that tills. 13 not tho case. This historian Is RIcardo Palma, di rector ot the National Mbraiy of Lima, Peru. In n book which has Just been published he insists that America was not named after Amerigo Vesnuccl. but that, on the contrary, Amerigo Vespuc ci was named after America Senor Palma, who has studied tho subject for years, maintains that Vespucci's tlrst name was Alberlco. "The name 'America,' he says, "Is derived from a place in .Nicaragua, being the lu.me ot a hill In the province of C'hnnvoles. Kurthermore, the penultl-nnte syllablo 'Ic' Is very often found In the worda used by the Indians of South America ni.d by the patives of the Antilles. The syllable Itself signifies something large nnd lofty, and is found in tho names of non-volcanic mounta'ns." He fuither points out that Columbus did not use the word "America" In his Iftters when ho referred to tho events of Ids first voyage "It Is more than probable," he cnntinn-o, "that ho learned through one of ! Is attendants of the dlscovcrey of gold by some na tives In a place called America. In this way it s llkojythat thennme grad i ually became known tb-oughout Eu rope. At that time t'-o only goo graphical account of the Western Hem isphere was the ono by Alberico Ves pucci, which was pub'l-hed In Latin In I "'03, and In fjerman In 1508. Geogra phers presumably came to tho con I elusion that Alberico h ! given the I name America not merely to a slnglo hill or mountain, but to the entire country When tho first map of the continent bearing the tltlo 'Province , of Amorica' was published In Ilarce- lona in IC22 Columbus nnd his com panions were long dead, and thoro was no ono to protest against tho mis use of tho namo. Furthermore, thore was no one in all Ruropo who boro the namo Amorlgo nnd, as Vespucci's name was Alberico, geosraphprs and historians would surely have given tho new continent this namo if thev had desirod to honor hi in In this fashion. Newly discovered cottntri'H were only named after roverolgns, i we see In tho case of Georgia, Louisiana, Mary land and tho Philippines, and when ex plorers did glvo names to countries they selected thoso of their own fam ilies, as wo see In the enso of Vancouver and Magellan. Tho origin of such places as Columbia and Colon can also be tlearly traced." Coal Slack for Pigs.
