It will be practicable to feed grain

supply of these won't be so liberally
dealt out to the didry herd as In times
pust. Hut in purchasing grain and
concentrates it has too often been the
practice anions dairyman to Judge
feed not by Its food valuo or nutrient

The dairyman therefore should buy

m the basis of nutrient content as

An Illustration In point may make
this a little clearer. ' If n dairyman
has a supply of silage and othor

LOW-HEADED TREES
Plant trees but one year old. You
can head them as low ns you desire,
nnd In these duys of spraying we must
have low-headed trees, nnd low heads
are better In many respects. The stems
are -soon shaded nnd protected from
sunscald; they do not blow over so
badly, and In sleet storms In winter
the ground catches the limbs before
they can break. They are so enslly
harvested that many large orchardlsts
are now planting only this kind. The
Illustration shows how small a tree
can be planted nnd how lowly pruned.
The first pruning of the apple should
te done when the tree Is one year old.
Cut back to within two or two and
one-half feet of the ground. The young
tree will then throw out small shoots
from the ground up. When these nre
two or three Inehes long, all should be
rubbed oft except from five to six of
those noor the top, which are left to
form the head of the tree. The sec
ond pruning consists In cutting these
back to about twelve Inches. Two year
PRACTICAL PLAN FOR

Paying Proposition for Every
Farm Any of Common
Fruits Grow Successfully.
If the tops of your trees are nipped
by excessive cold this winter do not
chop down the trees at first sight.
Wait until the leaves start, prune off
ail dead wood nnd cultivate the ground
thoroughly. This will put new life la
your trees.
Some people seem to think that in
order to spray their orchards they
must have a big two-horse outfit and
pay out a lot of money to stnrt. Noth
ing of the kind! An orchard of 100
trees can quickly be sprayed by a bar
rel sprayer set on a sled, drawn by a
single horse.
Scraping out the dead wood and fill
ing the cavity with cement will be the
means of saving valuable trees that
would otherwise be destroyed by roL
We cannot pnlnt peaches a nice lus
trous color without a liberal use of
potash.
Plow the peach orchard In the spring
nnd keep down the weeds nnd grasses
until September, then sow rye or crim
son clover to plow under next spring.
Elevated sites are desirable for
peach orchards; some of the oldest
peach trees are on the tops of hills.
The application of too much fresh
manure stimulates an unhealthy growth
of wood and leads to winter killing of
many of the peach buds.
A few mulberry trees set out around
the fruit orchard will divert the atten
tion of birds nnd afford a windbreak
for the fruit trees.
Poultry nnd plum growing make a
nice combination for the small grower
who wishes to make Use of his poul
try yards.
The human eye is the great fruit
buyer and we must put our fruit up in
neat attractive pneknges if we enre to
obtain the best prices on the market.
A small orchard is a paying proposi
tion for every farm. Fruit raised at
home Is better than that purchased
from some other man's farm or from a
fruit stand.
Any of the common fruits grow suc
cessfully on almost every farm. Ap
ples, pears, penches, plums, cherries
nnd grapes should be the principal
fruits.
The orchard should be on an ele
vated location. It Is not wise to set
trees in a "flat.'.' In low places late
frost often kills fruit.
Soils should be carefully selected for
the orchard. Select soils best suited
to the fruits planted.
Prepare the soil thoroughly before
planting.' The best method Is to break
as deeply ns possible and follow with
the harrow in order to pulverize.
It is always best to purchase trees
direct from a relfable nursery that Is
Inspected regulnrly by stnte officials.
It Is not deslrnble to deal with ngents.
Trees nre prepngnted princlpnlly by
budding and grafting. Seedling trees
are undesirable, as they seldom pro
duce good fruit.
When planting trees, remove all In
'ured limbs and roots. Holes in which
rees are placed should be large enough
o allow the roots to take natural posl
lons. Trees should he cultivated regularly.
They resiond to good treatment as
ell as any of the cultivated crops.
Trees will not do well In poor soil
vlthout a liberal supply of fertilizer.
HANDY FOR ORCHARD
old trees purchased from the nursery
are usually headed back the first year
and come with these first side shoots.
In such cases, they Khould be shortened
as above 6tatod. The third year the
new shoots which are left to form the
main head of the tree should be short
tened back to about 10 Inches. At this
time it Is also necessary to remove
some of the side shoots in order to
keep the growth from becoming too
thick. Pruning the fourth season is
similar to the third. The shape of the
trees depends largely on the pruning
which Is given the first four years, so
the work should be carefully done. Af
ter the fourth year there is not mueh
need to shorten back the main
branches unless one has grown much
longer than the rest. In such cases, In
order to preserve the shape of the tree,
they should be made us nearly even as
possible. All the pruning after this
consists mainly In keeping the tree
thinned out nnd ulso dead and Inter
fering branches removed. .
LAYING OUT ORCHARD.
An application of fertilizer often means
the difference between a good crop and
no fruit.
For the first two or three years after
setting the trees, two or three rows of
any of the low-growing crops can be
grown between the rows of trees.
Grain should always be avoided.
Leguminous cover crops, sown regu
larly, will take the place of n large
nmount of the fertilizer necessary for
the orchard. Sow them in September
and turn In early spring.
Pruning carefully every year will
prolong the life and Increase the value
of nny fruit tree.
The diseases of the trees and fruits
are very numerous. The only method
of controlling them is by spraying
regulnrly every yenr.
The best varieties should always be
selected for the orchard. Select them
In such a manner as to provide fruit
the entire yenr.
PREPARING SEEDBED
FOR ALFALFA PLANT
Plant Cultivated Crop Year or
Two Earlier and Keep Soil
v Well Conditioned.
(By M. A. TtEESOM, Department of Ag
ronomy, Oklahoma A. and M. College,
Stillwater.)
In preparing the seedbed for alfalfa
you should begin a yenr or two before
you wish to seed by planting n cultM
cated crop, keeping the ground well
cultivated and free from weeds. Corn
Is a good crop to precede alfalfa.
The crlticnl period of alfalfa is tho
first six weeks of the life of the plant.
The gronnd should be plowed early and
deep. It should be free 'from weeds
nnd ns free as possible from weed seed.
It should be well tilled, but firm up to
the surface when seeded. Fall seeding
In September without a nurse crop is
considered the surest method to fol
low. However, if there Is not a favor
nble season and sufficient moisture in
the fall, you mny sow nt corn or cot-ton-plnntlng
time in the spring. From
12 to 15 pounds of seed per acre Is am
ple If the seed Is clenn and strong.
When It is sown with a grain drill
attachment on well-prepared seedbed,
nnd when sown carefully and not too
deep, from ten to twelve pounds of;
seed is quite sufficient. The seed Is
smnll nnd does not need to be sown
too deep Just so you cet It into the
moist dirt.
WEED SEEDS ARE SELF-SOWN
Some of the Most Numerous Are R&n
weed, Snapdragon, Dock, Barnyard
Grass and Tumbleweed.
Thousnnds upon thousands, millions
and millions of weed seeds are self
sown each summer, when these weed
pests are left undestroyed. Some of
the most numerous of these seeds
are the ragweed, snapdragon, dock,
bnrnynrd grass, lamb's quarter, plan
tain, thistles nnd tumbleweed.
Their growth next year means mor
labor in the cultivation of crops,
not only for ourselves, but for our
neighbors as well. A little extra
hard work tn keeping such plant?
from seeding this yenr will save
us and our neighbors much laboi
next season. We know this to bf
true, of course, but sometimes wt

The collection of suits presented for
fall Is really superb. Good taste domi
nates them in styles nnd color and in
materials and trimming. They are
wonderfully tailored. Most of the
new wool goods have a soft, velvety
finish, nnd certain fashionable colors
appear nt their best In surfaces of this
kind, like tan, beige, castor, gray and
wine.
The quiet of the colors fnshlonnble
for fall makes room for nil sorts of
clever eccentricities of cut, nnd the
smartest tailors have taken advantage
of this opportunity to show how In

PSALMS OF DELIVERANCE.

GOLDEN TEXT They that bow la
tears thall reap In joy. realms 126:5.
These Psalms brenthe the spirit of
the true patriot. The Psalmist sees
his afilicted country suffering for the
sins of the people, prays for their
restoration to the Divine favor, and
with the encle eye of faith anticipates
the Joyful day of spiritual und tem
poral blessings because of restoration
to the 'Divine favor. Doubtless such
patriotism would be plcasiug to the
Lord on the part of us all.
Psalm So.
I. Praiees for Mercies Received
(vv. 1-3).
Praise is given for
(1) Deliverance from Captivity (v.
1).
lie had in mind the specific mercies
of a given time; perhaps it wns one
of the oppressions of the Philistines
from which they had been delivered.
(2 Forgiveness of Sin (vv. 2. 3).
"Thou hast forgiven the iniquity
covered all their sin." God's restora
tion was the proof that he had par
doned. Great indeed was the sin of
Jacob, but God's forgiveness wus great
er. He is peculiarly a God of mercy.
Having forgiven the sins his anger is
taken nway. He stayed his hand from
the Judgment which would have Justly
fallen, to show his mercy.
II. Prayer for Restoration From
Backsliding (vv. 4-7).
He knew how worthless the outward
blessings of the Lord would be unless
the people inwardly turned to the
Lprd. He, therefore, besought the
Lord to give them the greater blessing,
that of a change of heart. Without the
change of heart forgiveness would be
futile. A change of heart can only bo
by God's help.
(1) That God would turn the hearts
of his people toward himself (v. 4).
Knowing the people's utter helpless
ness to turn to God, he cried out to
God to save them by turning them to
himself. Ho knew that God's anger
could not turn from the people as long
as they were impenitent.
(2) That God would take away the
very remembrance of their sins (vv.
5-7).
(a) The ending of his anger (v. 5).
The desire seems to be that he would
wipe out the very marks of his dis
pleasure by not longer allowing pun
ishment to be meted out to them.
(b) The return to the people's Joy
(v. C).
Their Joy could only be realized
through a revival from God. The
Psalmist now becomes more bold In his
requests.
(c Shall show them mercy (v. 7).
'Make It visible," tsiis cry. God's
Judgment was most real. His desire la
that his mercy would be Just as real.
III. Exultant Anticipation (vv. 8-13).
Having spoken the sentiment of the
repentant people, the poet expresses
confidence of the Lord's response. So
faithful Is God that those who sin
cerely pray to him can go forwurd
with the assurance of petitions granted.
(1) "He will speak peace" (v. 8).
He knew that a gentle answer would
come, but its continuance would de
pend upon the fidelity of the people.
Turning to folly would provoke again
his wrath.
(2) Will bring his salvation near
(v. 0).
Only as his salvation was near could
glory be In the land.
(3) Devise a way by which "Mercy
nnd truth," "Righteousness and peace,
may be united (vv. 10, 11).
He did not suggest a way. lie may
not have known it Faith now sees
the way in Christ. In him such a
anion has been blessedly effected.
(4) The land shall become fruitful
(v. 11).
When sin is removed, temporal pros
perity shall follow. Earth's barren
ness is due to sin. When the curse la
removed frultfulness shall follow,
(5) Righteousness shall be the
guide of his people (v. 12).
In that golden, glad age God's right
eous ways will leave a track in which
his own may walk with security.
Psalm 120.'

(2) Effect cf (vv. 1,2).
(a) . The people were scarcely able
to believe It. So sudden and unexpect

seemed to them as a dream. They ex

restoration with frultfulness, evea
