A SAFE INVESTMENT
For TRUST FUNDS.

THE MIDLAND PACIFIC RAILWAY
FIRST MORTGAGE SEVEN PER CENT GOLD Bonds
This road is entirely completed and in full oper-
alton between the Missouri River and Lincoln, the
capital of the State Of Nebraska, and is earning
more than all its expenses, including interest on ts
bonds while its traffic is constantly and rapidly in
creasing. The line has been built wholly by
stock subscriptions, and among its stockholders
are some of the most successful railway supporters
and inanciers in the country. The cost of the road
with its Franchises, Real Estate, Equipments Tee-
graph Lines &C., has been S49, 1888 per mile, while
the mortgage on it is but Sls3S3 making the com
pany's securities safe beyond contingency.
The Midland Pacific will connect with the Union
Pacific on the west and the east with direct lines
TO the Atlantic Coast and all intermediate centefs
It's location is therefore most important and COM
manding one, it being the central link of new
trunk route shortening the distance to the Pacihc
by 147 miles AS a local enterprise, the Midland
Pacific is invaluable. 1t trayerses fertile tract OF
country one of the finest agricultural regions IN the
Union and ia the main feeder for rapidly mcreas-
ing population. We have examined personally this
entire enterprise and recognize its Importance and
value. and confidently recommend its Bonds to in
vestors
During the past few years we have negotiated
large number of railway loans and there is not one
of these roads whose property does not exceed In
value by 100 per cent the amount Of its first mort
gage bonds. Present price Of Midland Pacifics, 20

Spring Pruning, Hurts Trees.

The practice of spring pruning is utterly
wrong, and is the source of much injury to
orchards. 1t is better TO prune in January
or December than after the sap has started.
No harm is done by removing suckers and
small branches, but taking off large limbs
does more hurt than good.
Removing large portion of wood from
the tree, causes the sap provided for its
nourishment to send out sprouts, interfer-
ing with the formation of fruit buds The
theory that the wounds heal more rapidly,
if pruning is done in the spring, is not
correct. On the contrary decay is caused.
