THE EAGLE, BURNSVILLE, NO' OLD SOLDIER WAS CONSTIPATED Sajs Black-Draught Cared Him of His Troubles of 12 Years Standmg. Scottvllle, N. C.—Mr. James Dick son, an old resident of this place, and Civil War Veteran, recently made the following statement: “I am 67 years old, and am an old soldier of the war •j- of '81. I had constipation for 12 *’ years. The doctors said I would never be any better, but now I can ^ tell them better. I had taken dollars ^PLand dollars’ worth of blood tablets, but they got so they didn’t do me much good. V Then I got to taking your Black- Draught, and I had not taken one full package until I found that it relieved the constipation. I took two or three packages, and it has cured me, and I praise It to all of my friends.” Thousands of people in the past 70 years have found help for constipa tion in the use of Thedford's Black- Draught. Many families keep Black- Draught in the house all the time, and use it at the least sign of constipation, Indigestion, biliousness, or other liver troubles. Black-Draught is purely vegetable reliable and without bad after-effects. Good for young and old. Get a pack age from your druggist today, and take a dose, tonight. You will feel bet ter tomorrow.

A modern torpedo-lieutenant and his men have a thrilling and most impor tant place to fill, writes a London cor respondent. The officer has to be an electrical engineer ,n scientist, versed In chemistry, a telegraphist, a subma rine mining engineer, a mechanic, and various other things. During action the -torpedo-lieutenant must stand by and waif, because the opening ranges of a modern naval engugefent are so great that torpedoes cannot he used. But when the torpedo bugles sound for action the crews immediately repair below decks, load the torpedo tubes, and again wait for orders to fire. For hours the officer stands thus, watching the combat. Then suddenly hts chance comes. The Ships close In. There Is a good chance to put a torpe do into an enemy vessel. “Snick!” A dull hissing telTs that the torpedo has left the tube and is speeding'tovvards its mark. Then the tubes are again loaded, and so it goes on. It Has All Been Said. “Are you getting ready to make a big speech In congress?” “No,” answered Senator Sorghum; “not unless a new topic develops. I think I have offered or listened to every possible observation on every conceivable subject available up to this time.” Lots Yet to Be Done. There may come a time when you’ll be ashamed to admit that all you did In the great war was to buy a few Lib- ertiy bonds.—Exchange. Proper pruning of frui trees is ab solutely essential to the production of good fruit. And yet there is no other necessary work ai^out a farm orchard so constantly neglected. And when ft is done, in ti t majority of cases, it is only half do^. As a result of crowded limbs, thick foliage, half of the fruit pifauced Is of small size and bad color. ' Now, all of this inferior fri|it is un necessary, for it is entirely possible to have every apple on the tree, of good full size, and color fully up to the standard of its variety. There Is no sufficient excuse for the prevailing neglect of pruning, for it may be done In the winter timv!, that season of comparative leisure lii the country. The months of November, December and January make up the right trimming season, says Iowa Homestead. If done at that time the wounds dry up, so that loss of sap later becomes unnecessary. But .if this work is done In February aad March, it is so near the period of the ffow of sap that bleeding becomes In evitable. Much Depends on Age. In pruning a tree to secure good fruit, the amount of work to I'C done depends upon the age of the Pee, and the previous work which las beeq done upon it to keep it in shape. A tree which has been enti.ely neg lected until it is ten years old pre sents a hard problem when /ou wish to bring it into shape. Three-fourths of the ‘top Should be removed, but as to take thtt amount off at once would be a serDus shock to the tree, It is customarj to take two years for the work, cutting out half of the superfluous braiches one winter—and as many more the next year. i The wise way Is, never to'let trees get into that crowded, overgnwn con dition.

During recent years the Uoi'erslty ' of Missouri College of Agriculore at Columbia In co-operation with i num ber of practical orchardlst.s h*s been carrying on demonstration'^ experi ments In the value of sprrflng, prun ing and the general renovajng of neg lected orchards in Mlssour/ The results of these derlonstratioos show that apple orchard/ well man aged can be made to yieli the largest profits of any Missouri fAm crop. On the other hand negleeteC orchards in the same neighborhood lirdly yielded Interest on the valuatir# of the or chard. During 1M7 the resu’s of proper; spraying and pruning have shown larger profit than in Ay previous, year. During the last ytar neglected : orchards have set very little or no fruit. The little fruit vhlch was set here and there was for the most part small, wormy and of lo^ market qual ity. Orchards proper-y sprayed and pruned during the hst two or three years have set anyvhore from a fair up to a heavy crop if fruit. The qual ity of apples on well-managed or chards this year has been the- best produced in Mlssoitrl In recent years. Orchards propfrly sprayed and well managed havv yielded anywhere from $100 up to several hundred dol lars per acre, net. Neglected orchards In the same neighborhood have yielded anywhere from nothing up to $18 to ed, and for the next two years trees should be examined occasionally and so cut as to secure a well-balanced top. For many reasons high tops are the best—high enough -so as to admit a full-grown man walking about - them upright. , As the trees get larger, naturally more and more work will be needed in pruning. Thrifty elfeht to ten-year-oid trees will make an astonishing growth of wood In one season. Bear In mind that the tops should be kept thin enough so that the sun light can penetrate to all parts. It Is light which makes perfect fruit—other conditions being fdvorable. Remove Weak Limbs. In general, remove the weakest limbs, and where two Interfere cut one. Then shorten in all branches which show an abnormal growth, thus preserving the symmetry of the tree. Water Sprouts—those sappy shoots which have started since last prun ing, should be cut without mercy, ex cepting in cases where one is needed to fill a vacant place. If you have followed the rules for pruning, you will have a spreading, open-topped tree—so scattered In foli age that it will be a poor shade tree for a hot day, but exactly adapted to the growing of large, showy apples. Owing to the prevalence of strong southwest winds, It is best to plant trees with a little inclination to the two-o’clock sun, and in pruning en- eourge the heaviest top on the same side of tree. It Is customary to say: Make a smooth cut; and a very little thought will show the necessity of this. Na ture will repair the damage, by heal ing over the wound as soon as possi ble. But if a rough, uneven surface is left, it Is difficult, or perhaps im possible for the bark to cover It. All cuts above an inch in diameter should be painted with a soft grafting wax. This Is needed, because the hot sun will check the wound and water will penetrate. $20 per acre, hardly enough to pay in terest on the valuation of the land and the expense of growing the or chard. Some orchardlsts have hesitated to assume the expense of equipping for spraying, and of employing the labor necessary to properly prune the or chard. There is a fear that should the crop fall the orchardist would not be in position to pay for his spraying outfit and his spraying material. Many Missouri orchardists last spring complained that the rainy weather and cold nights during the blossoming period prevented the bloom from setting fruit, or killed set fruit on frosty nights. The killing was due almost entirely to the fact that In neg lected orchards the blossoms were weak. In most of the properly man aged orchards, at least a fair crop of fruit set and matuivd to fine condi tion, due to the fact that trees kept healthy can usually set fruit even dur ing trying weather.

William MacGregor Years Ago Gained Distinction by Saving Many Lives From Wreck. Sir William MacGregor, G. C. M. G., Is a man of Herculean streiigih—In deed, until he took part some years ago In the rescue of some Indian coolies from a shipwrecked vessel, he stated that he had not previously real ized the value of his great strength, says a. correspondent. A broken mast was the only connec tion with the stranded vessel, and over this, again 'and again, Sir tVilliam clambered with a man or woman on his back, and more often than not a child also between his teeth, held by the clothes. On a reef below was a woman, who had fallen overboard, ha%-ing got at the ship’s spirits and become mail drunk. Two men who went after lier were in the act of being swept out to,sea, when Sir William slid down a rope, seized the woman’s hair between his teeth, grasped the two men, and brought all three to a place of safety. For this he received the Albert Gold Medal from Queen Victoria, and the Clarke Gold Medal from Australia. HEAL ITCHING SKINS With Cuticura Soap and Ointment— They Heal When Others Tail.
