Trees GIrdIed by INSTRUMENTATION of
New Bark.

Trees GIrdIed by Mice-Formation of
New Bark.
Mr.. Charles Waters says, In your Is
sue Of January q, 4" must differ from
friend Weir. 1 hold that if all of the
bark is taken of in the fall, winter or
early spring the tree cannot be saved
by banking up" "The banking will
not make bark without something to
form from"
Mr. Waters has perfect right to diff
fer with me or any one else, but his
differing does not alter the facts in the
case. No one has ever asserted and
published new and startling fact to
I the world, but candid and honest men
would be found to take issue against
that fact. I pretend to be the discov-
erer of the fact, that bark material will
exude from the undried surface of the
sapwoOd of the apple-other, and per-
haps nearly all kinds of trees, that is,
that bark material will exude from the
medullary rays, and form q complete
coating of new bark.
/ do not claim that the bark will
cover the wound in some cases by ex-
tension from points where it is intact
do claim, that the bark of an apple
tree of any age or size, in thrifty con-
dItion, has ring of bark-all the bark
proper down to the csmbium or sap
wood-taken from it all the way around,
and for several inches vertically on the
trunk and the surface of the exposed
sap wood, be covered by any substance
that will keep 1t from becoming dry
and seasoning, and has such neutral
qualities as will not injure nor disor-
ganize cellular granulations that exude
from the pith or medullsry rays, that a
new bark viii be formed over the whole
by such eludation- not by extension, if
the bark is removed at any time when
growth for that year is complete-and 1
have no doubt but that it viii if remov-
ed at any time, if properly cared for
II Ar. Waters will remove all the
bark and one-fourth of the camblum
for distance of ten inches, / will
cause the bark to reform without per-
ceptible injury to the tree. He may
remove the bark and one-quarter or two
layers of the sap wood, and will
cause the same results, as have done |
in hundreds of instances without one 1
failsro.
His remarks about poisoning mice !
are very pertinent. But I find better
and safer plan to be to feed the mice |
and rabbits plentifully with corn.
They Will not eat bark when they have
plenty of other and better food handy. !

wIntering stock in the Northwest.

At the last meeting of the Grand
Chute, Outaganie Co., Wis, Farmers
Club, an informal discussion was had
on wintering stock, from which we ex-
tract as as follows:
Mr.. Huntley-When threshing I get
all the straw in my barn have room
for; lay it in alternate layers with good
hay. 1 find my stock eat 1t well and
close. / am satisfied oat straw is of
more value for feeding than marsh hay.
Mr.. Bogan-Oat straw is very good
for change. l am satisfied if we have
straw in alternate layers with hay when
the hay is hauled into barn or stack,
our hay would cure and keep better; !;
the straw absorbing from the hay be-
comes nearly Of as much value as hay
for feeding Most of the hay is ex-
posed to the sun too long in curing at
one time 1 cut about five tons which
was only exposed to the sun two hours !;
never had better hay than that was.
Mr.. P. v Smith, believe a large
proportion of hay is yearly spoiled by
over drying in the sun; the nutritious
portion wasted, little or nothing lef
but woody fiber; no stock can thrive on
such food.
Sec'Y May-I believe more hay is
damaged by too long exposure to the
sun, than by rain am well satisfied
We do not grow roots enough.

AT IA late hour last night the notorious Reddy the
Blacksmith went into Harry Hils No. 80 East
Houston street. and proceeded to insult every
one he met. Mr.. Hill quietly demonstrated

to Join In the assault, AMI In less than minute
they had stripped on large and valu-
abe diamond pin from HIPS shirt
and gone through his pockets. The people
in the house set up a cry OF Murder" 'Poce!,
"Watchl" &C, NC, which brought some half dozen
valiant 'peeers" upon the scene OF action. Marley
was arrested, but his "heelersv all escaped. While
on the way to the station house big burly
looking brute ran up and assaulted Ill.,
striking him severe blow in the face. The
officers VINO were accompanying Mr.. Hill at once
seized the Fellow, and before they could quiet him
were compelled to knock him down two or three
times. This sanitary manner OF dealing with
"lamb" had the desired erect, and he was
now very easily taken In. AT the station
house be gave his name as Daniel Day, and said he
resided at 90 Wooster street. Reddy gave his rest
dence as 217 Houston street. They were both, on
complaint OF HILL locked up, and Will this morning
be taken to TIE Tombs.
Alter the party was cleared out OF HIPS place,

STAT RETWEEN JUDGES.

The Washington Sunday HerdEd tells
of a singular breeze in the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, in that city oil
Saturday. The Chief Justice (Cartter) had
delivered an opinion in the Farragut prize
money case, and wheu he had done, As
sociate Judge Wylie expressed his views
IN dissent of the opinion ofthe Court. The
Herald says:
Tie Chief Justice whitened with wrath,
his lion like locks shook with ire, and in a
voice whose notes were pregnant with I'M
comfortable rage, he said-;-"1 am sur
prised at the dissenting opinion. The
Judge in the consultation room assentedto
my views he has crept out Of the hole
into which he went" &c. The audience,
whose prophetic souls had drawn them to
the spot to witness without money, with
out price, this Saturday matinee, INDUCED
in vociferous ordinations. Judge Wybe
rose with the dignity Of an insulted man
and Judge, and said: / retire from the
bench, whele to remain ID to be insulted. ="
The Chief Justice was about to proceed
with his lively picture of the consultation
room, when the quiet interference Of his
brother Justice restrained him in adegree,
and here the battle ended.
It will be seen from the above that De-
cay Cartier is the same blackguard Of a
Judge that he was when a practicing law
yer and citizen h~ereabouts.

Half a Century.

The Masons of Canton celebrated the
6ftieth anniversary of their Lodge, last
Friday evening by a supper, in a room in
Eagle Block, convenient to their hall.
We learn the supper was largely attend
ed Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather.
The original charter members of the
Canton Lodge, No. 60, of Free and Ac-
cepted Masons were: John WhIpple,
James brennan, James w. Lathrop, Mo
ses Andrews, Grin Pitkin, B. C.. Goodwill,
and Aaron Norton, all Of whom are dead.
The Oldest members now connected with
the Lodge are, John E. Dunbar, John C.
Bockius and DIR. Hartman Stidger, who be-
came members in 1925. We learn the
lodge numbers some $50 members. With
in the past two years q sufficient number
of members from the old lodge started a
new one, called Eagle Lodge, who by &C
c~essions now numbers some thirty mem
bers, so hat Canton now has two Ia
sonic Lodges, as well as a Chapter and a
Council.

The two-thirds radical majority in Con-
gress has left. Last Saturday died the
infamous and corrupt land grabbing radi-
cal Congress with its two thirds majority.
In the new Congress the tyrants assume q
weaker shape. The spawn is running
out. Their children, begotten in vii
lainy, survive. They are fifteenth and
other amendments. their crop of bayonet
laws-Howard's African Bureau-the
INDUSTRIOUS drama of reconstruction. But
for the two-third's majority these and
other infamies would never have cursed
u country. Part of the spawn too were
Brownlow and others of that tribe. We
trust a better day is dawning.
