POTATOES IN Observation-Disclosures are
not a good crop for orchards, as they
exhaust the potash, and this is just what
the trees require for healthy and
vigorous growth. 1t is robbing Peter
to pay Paul policy to plant anything
close to the trunks Of trees. Leave the
ground under trees bare, and simply
cultivate and keep it mellow, Give a
tree the same cultivation YOU would a
hill of corn, and early bearing and good
fruit will reward the effort. Stone lime
is not injurious to orchards.

THE FLOWER GARDEN.
SEED-BED.

When the conyeniences of glass COW
erings are not to be had, make bed of
light, mellow soil, in sheltered situa-
ton in the garden; and as soon as the
weather becomes settled, and the ground
warm, SOW the seeds, covering them
with a little fine earth, and if very small
sift it upon them Some one has given
as rule that seeds should be covered
twice the depth of their own diameter;
that is, that seed one-sixtcenth of an
inch through should be covered one
eighth of an inch. Perhaps that is as
near correct as any general rule can be.
If the weather should prove dry after
sowing, it would be well to cover the
beds of very small seeds with damp
moss, or what is better, with evergreen
boughs or boards, the boards being ele-
waited few inches from the bed A
covering of boards, or almost anything
that will afford partial protection from
the dry ing winds and sun, will answer
a good purpose, for it must be remem-
bered that seeds do not require light for
their termination, and grow quite as
well in the dark until they are above
the ground The covering should be
removed as soon as the plants are above
the soil, or they will become weak and
pale. OF course, it is designed that
plants from the HoT-BED, CoLD-FRAME
and SEEDED shall be transplanted to
the border or beds where they are to
flower, and these helps are intended
mainly for Tender and Half Hardly An
nuals. The Hardy Annals may be
sown where they are to flower, though,
with the exception of few varieties
difficult to transplant, it is best to SOW
all in the seed-bed Some persons sue
coed very we'll by starting seeds in the
house windows in flower pots. A much
better plan is to use shallow boxes, be-
cause the earth in small pots becomes
dry very rapidly, and unless constant
attention is given to watering, the plants
will be partially or entirely ruined. If
pots are used they should be sunk in
earth or sand.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes White
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except In
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. \. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer Of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

TRANSMITTING.


After plants in the seed-beds have
obtained their second leaves and made
an inch Or two of growth, they should
be removed to the garden beds or bor-
der This should be done on a dull,
showery day, if possible; if not, the
plants may require shading after re-
moval until they become established-'
In transplanting in dry weather, always
give the plants as they stand in the
seed-bed good soaking with water,
and also the soil to which they are to
be removed, an hour or so before re-
moval In removing, disturb the roots
as little as possible. If the plants are
not too thick, there is no need of injur-
ing the roots; and in sowing, it is well
to have this in view, and SOW evenly
and thinly As soon as the young
plants come up, if too thick, a portion
should removed. A few plants, with
long tap-roots, will not bear removal
we'll The Larkspurs are difficult: and
these and the Poppies, and plants with
like roots, should he sown where they
are to flower. Still, there are few plants
but can be removed when young, with
proper care. Sweet Peas, Candvtuft,
and few flowers of similar character.
that do best if sown early as the ground
can be got ready, should always be sown
where they are to flower
Always be careful to get seeds suited
to your wants. If YOU wish a climber
to cover fence or trellis, the Morning
Glory, the Madeira Vine and similar
strong growing vines will answer the
purpose and give good satisfaction;
while some Of the more tender climbers
would not be likely to come up if planted
in such situation as this, and if they
did happen to grow, would not cover
the place designed for them, and disap-
pointment would he the result. If the
object is brilliant, snowy bed on the
lawn, or in the border, the Petunia.
Phlox Drummondii, Verhena, &c, will
meet your wishes while a bed of Mig
nonette, or any of the smaller or less
snowy flowers, would be entirely out of
place. If flowers of taller growth are
desired for striking bed more in the
back ground, the Zinnia, the French
Marigold, the Gladioli, &c, are admira-
bly, adapted to the purpose, while some
very beautiful, low, modest flowers,
would be worthless.

The United states surveys

The annual report of the Secretary of
the Interior will show that the United
States geological and geographical survey
of the territories, under the direction of
his department has continued its operations
in the West during the past season. The
May.
The district recommended for the work
of the year 1878 embraced the eastern por-
ton of Colorado, lying between parallels
80 deg. and 30 deg. 20 min. north, and be-
tween meridians 104 Dig 30 min. and 107 Dig
west, and comprised about 10000 square
miles. This area was divided into three
districts and the survey of each entrusted
to mixed party of biologists and topo-
graphers. The northern district included
the Middle Park the middle, the South
Park and the southern, the San Luis Val
ley. The whole area, which is about 100
miles broad, embraces the grandest ranges
of mountains and the greatest group of
lofty peaks known on the continent.
From the summit of Mount Lincoln, be-
tween the Middle and South parks, over
twenty peaks $4,000 feet and upwards, and
200 whose SUBMITS rise above IL, 900 feet,
can be seen. Besides the three parties
mentioned above there were three other
parties, one of which carried on the pri-
mary triangulations from the submits of
the most important peaks in the district,
A Photographic and ENTHUSIASTICALLY
also formed part of the organization, which
may be regarded as unusually complete for
the duties for which it is designed. A pre-
liminary feld-map was prepared in the
spring, based on the land surveys of this
department, which indicated those portions
which were least known and which needed
the most careful examination. 1t is the
purpose of the survey to carry on a careful
and systematic work, which shall not be
required to be performed again while the
Territories remain as wards of the General
Government. The collections in geology,
botany, and natural history and the photo
graphic views are as extensive and valua-
| Bile as those of the previous years.

Joseph Adams was born in Londonderry

Hampton, N. Y, just across the line from
Fairhayen, Vt, In January, 1926, the
young couple moved TO Fairhaven, living
in house on West street. Here Mr..
Adams carried on the business of making
boot and shoes. He was himself a skill
fnl workman, and, for that time, carried
on quite an extensive business, sometimes
employing several journeymen and appren-
tees. Besides being good shoemaker, he
possessed the accomplishment of being a
good violinist-a good .tiddler, in the langu-
age of those days-and was accustomed to
pick up many an honest dollar playing for
parties on weekday evenings, playing the
same instrument in church on Sunday. lie

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

A very important point was made, du-
ring the last presidential campaign, which
was spoken of under the general head of
"civil service reform" What that is, we
shall, presently, consider, but we desire, by
way of introduction, to show how it came
to be of any importance. The United
States has been in existence eighty-four
years. We mean that, during that period,
it has been distinct, compact state formed
of other states, TO be sure-having con-
stitution, which is the supreme law of the
-s>s,ss, having officers elected or appointed
as provided by law, and legislative body
authorized to enact laws, which we are.
one and all, bound to obey. During the
first half of this period-or, for forty years
there was nothing heard of 'civil service
reform" as we now understand the express
sion, and there was no need that it should
have been spoken of. In its present sense
and meaning, an individual, or party,
would have been idiotic to have talked or
resolved about it, because the evil did not
exist, and our patriotic predecessors didn't
even conceive that it could ever exist.
During the administration of General
Washington--eight years-there were nine
removals from office, one being defaulter.
John Adams, during his -four years, re-
moved ten officers, including a defaulter /;
thirty-nine were removed in the eight years
of Jefferson's administration three de-
faulters and two Others were removed by
james Madison in eight years. James
Monroe was President eight years and, in
that time, removed six office holders for
cause, and three more, as was alleged a.
the time, without cause while his sue
cessor, John Quincy Adams, removed only
two, both for cause. So that during these
forty years, there were seventy-four re-
moyals from office by the federal admin.
istration-an average of less than two o
year-and not one of them for political
reasons, while the majority were removed
