Eight years ago purchased Of
reliable arm Ave hundred apple trees, three
years old, planted them on sod ground,
taking great pains 10 setting them, in ''soil
loamR land and quite stony. The follow
ing spring, after planting, ! turned over
the sod all hut on acre, to make the expert
menk / think the acre not turned was
equal, If not better, than the rest Of the
orchard. The FIRST year on me inverted
sod, planted potatoes with clean culture,
no manure. The second year I planted
corn, with light coat Of manure, say ten
loads to the acre, fresh manure spread on
the farrcws. At the same time gave the
acre ten loads Of manure as much around
the trees, also leaving the grass to decay on
the ground, not moving it. Third year,
planted potatoes on the cultivated part !;
fourth, corn fifth, potatoes; sixth, corn !;
seventh, potatoes eighth, oats with a
seeding to clover on the acre Of sod
ground. | gave the trees mulching
every year, kept those pruned alike which
were Of the same varieties as on cultivated
part Of lot. Now, for results. On those
had cultivated had fine specimens Of
apples the third year after setting, with a
fne vigorous growth Of wood. On the
acre not titled, no fruit, and not much
growth. Seventh year after planting on
cultivated portion Of lot, | had fine crop
of apples, every tree making vigorous
growth of wood, and il is now one Of the
finest young orchards in Saratoga county.
The trees on the acre not cultivated are
only about one-fourth as large as the
others, look scruhby, with very little fruit
on them seven years after setting, and
what apples were on them were inferior to
the Others. During the eight years /
suffered no stock to run in the lot, neither
did NOV the grass on the acre, but let
it fall and decay on the ground every year.
Perhaps some viii say those trees where
! cultivated win oyerbear themselves and
decay but have no fears of that, as /
have watched the progress Of trees treated
in the same manner for over thirty years.
In my opinion, every man planting out an
orchard should first take the greatest pains
IN planting, and after that, keep the clean
cot culture with hoed crops, root crops
being the best for the trees If not treated
in this manner, think those who set an
orchard viii not make il success. For
the last thirty years watched the progress
Of apple trees, from the White Mountains
Of New Hampshire to the western borders
Of Iowa, and see 50 much hardness in
the cultivation Of fruit trees, that would
like to preach q sermon to seyen-e;uhths
Of the farmers as long as the distance I
have mentioned But perhaps it would
avail nothing, as many farmers advocate
that trees must not be disturbed at the
root or branches after setting out Cor,

hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often. though not always,
cured by.its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where The follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; bat such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth eff hair is produced. Instead
Of fouling the hair.with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional Use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

RouGH WEATHER IN THE MODoC CoUN-

RouGH WEATHER IN THE MoDoC CoUN-
TRY.-In the course of conversation with
a gentleman, lately from Yreka, Siskiyou
county. few scraps of information likely
to interest the general public We're secur-
ed. 1t seems that the winter Just closed
was one of the most trying experienced
in that section of the country for many
wears. Only eight pleasant days were re-
corded in the town from early in Decem-
ber to the latter part of March. The lofty
and rugged ridge between Yreka and the
Lava Beds, known as Balls Mountain. has
been impossible during the entire winter,
except for pedestrians on snow-shoes- In
the eastern end of the country, embracing
the tract now known as Modoc county,
the effects of the storm have been disas-
trous in the extreme. Ninety per cent. of
the cattle have perished from hunger or
exposure Many cases are cited where the
ranch-men divided their own supplies of
flour and vegetables with the cattle. in the
vain hope of bridging over the season. and
threw themselves into a sad prcdicament.
The Lava Bed has been covered with be-
tween four and six feet of snow since the
middle of December. and will not be re =
lieved of its snowy mantle for several
months hence. Had the Modoc war con-
tinued through the last winter. no one can
tell how the sufferings ofthe troops would
have been aggravated. The snow storms
of 1928 were violent but of short dura-
ton, and the snow seldom remained on the
ground more than two or three days at one
fall. If the reports that fugitive Modocs
have been seen skulking over the Bed
since the war are correct. it is probable
that they passed an uncomfortable winter
and will be glad to seek Uncle SANS pro-
lection in the spring.-San Francisco
