Chs farm and Garden,


Some writer, no matter who, gives the
following recommendation for the shape
of fruit trees. They are commended to
all who raise such trees.
1t is said to be much better to grow
fruit trees with their heads and branches
near the ground, than to have them
branching overhead, for various reasons.
1st. The sun, which is, perhaps, in our
hot and dry summers, the cause of more
disease and destruction in fruit trees than
all other diseases together, is kept from
almost literally scalding the sap, as it
does in long, naked trunks and limbs
The limbs and leaves of tree should al
ways efiectually shade the trunk and
keep 1t cool The leaves only should
have plenty of sun and light; they can
bear and profit by it. If trees were suf-
fered to branch out low, say one or two
feet from the ground we should hear
much less of fire blight" frozen sap
blights," black syots, and the like.
2d. The grUand is loOser, moister and
cooler, under low branching tree than
under high one. Grass and weeds do
not grow q hundredth part so rank and
readily, and mulching becomes unneees-
sary.
3D. The wind has not half the power
to rack ndtwist, and break the tree, and
shake off the fruit--a matter of no small
| consequence.
4th. The trees will be much longer
lived, and more prolific, beautiful and
profitable.
5th. The trees are more easily rid oi
destructive insects, the fruit is much less
damaged by falling, and the facilities fol
gathering it are much greater; there is
less danger of breaking limbs.
! 9Th. The trees require less pruning
scraping and washing, and the roots are
protected from the plow, which is toe
often made to tear and mutilate them.
These seem to be indisputable facts
sufficient to silence all objections. All
apple or cherry tree is nearly twice AZ
valuable for shooting out low, near th'
ground, especially on the Southwest side

may profitably employ 1t on hisown land
True, land unused, like anything else
unused, is rarely profitable Investment;
vet nothing else is so solid, so tangible,
and so certain to increase steadily in
value, "a land. And no other man of
moderate means can be so truly indepen-
dent as he who cultivates his own home
stead.
III. If every man in business, who
can spare 81 600 up to $4,000, would en-
homestead, if possible-and let it be
decided directly to his wife, he would
signally lessen the probability of his
dying in an alms-house and being buried
Mt the expense of the town. Few men
will deem this worth consideration we
do.

Culture for Rose.

There IL no Towering shrubs or plant
requires manuring so much as the rose,
which produces such large quantity of
flowers that the soil within reach of the
roots soon becomes exhausted of those
ingredients which are necessary for sus-
tanning the health and vigor of the plant.
Well-rootcd cow manure Is best for the
rose, and us the plant is n gross feeder, u
liberal supply will be required. Moder-
ate root-prunlng has n very good effect in
conjunction with manuring.

The Late Fatal Duel.

The New Orleans Times, of February
oath, gives the details of the duel lately
fought near that city, between Edmund
Lefebrc and Charles Janin, which result
ed i'm the instant death of one of the prn-
cipals, and the death of the other in
about twelve hours after being shot. The
difficulty had its origin at n ball where
Lefebre had taken his wife. i is stated
that Janin, while waltzing with, Madam
Lefebre, thrust his hand into that lady's
bosom, and that the lady, tearing herself
away, rushed TO her husband and COM
planned of the outrageous act. Angry
words passed between Lcfebre and Janin
at the time; there was n scuiflc, knock
down, and then challenge. Each party
seemed determined to have the life of the
other. They fought with double-bar-
relied shot guns and both were killed.
Lefebre leaves wife and two children,
and Janina mothcrand sister. Each ian
lily is deprived of its natural supporter and
protector. Such is brief recital of the
most recent duel in the UnitedStates, and
one that ought to be the last to disgrace
this country. No number of sermons
or moral essays could more impressive
ly enforce the dangers that surround wo-
men and families when they allow them
selves to attend public assemblages for
dancing purposes, where the waltz Is
one of the principal @nusements. Here
we have n married lady whirlod about a
room, withaman's arm around her waist,
and that arm not her husbands, or her
brothers.; he giving away to temptation,
insulting the lady, and then, when called
to account for it, mul,lcrously Y seeking the
husband'slife. Thisafhir, beginning with
II waltz, ends with two murders and the
abject distress of two innocent families.

Misunderstanding to the statement of
balances on hand in the county treasury,
published in the columns of our San Andrcas
contemporary last week, our finances are in
decidedly healthy condition. If the Registers
figures are correct, the snug little sum of
$4,000 is contained in the Treasurer's safe
We think, however. that our amiable San
Andreas friend is slightly in error in his
arithmetical calculations, notwithstanding
the old saying that Figures never lie" The
statement which we received from the Depu-
ty Treasurer shows a total of balances
amounting only to $23,OSi 5S. Either he or
the Register is laboring under misappre-
hension i'll regard to how much money the
county has in its possession, as their state
ments do not agree within the trifing sum of
twenty thousand dollars. We think it is the
Registers error as we have noticed several
similar inaccuracies before. A paper which
heads its columns with the pompous line,
County Official Press" and which is pub
lished at the county scat, should be more
careful in its statements in regard to finances.
Scrip-holders will be worrying our County
Treasurer TO death, the first thing you know.
