CRONIN'S ACHIEVEMENT.

CRONIN'S ACHIEVEMENT.
Mr.. Cronin of Oregon. and the Gov
ernor of that State, have developed a
great deal of bottom. They came down
the home stretch, Cronin and the Gov.
ernor, Mt killing pace and have won
heat certainly and probably the race
for Tilden. After the action of the re.
turning officers in Louisiana, South
Carolina and Florida became known,it
was supposed thnt the electoral vote
covered under the several great seals
of tho States would stand Hayes 1856,
fluen 1874. Upon this superstition, tho
Republicans had taken the position
that Congress could do nothing but
count the vote and declare the re~su,s
as shown by tho "~-''"e-

set-otf to all the Vaccinations OF all tins
Returning Boards. Watts VASE Hayes
elector in Oregon and he was elected.
But he was likewise II postmaster, and
was ineligible, and therefore was not
elected. CrOnin was Tfiden eiectOr,
and he had the greatest number Of
votes after the three Republican cleo
tors. The Gov ernor of Oregon took the
| view that Watts was not voted for, in
contemplation of law, and Cronin was.
He therefore issued certificates to tho
| two other Republican electors and to
Cronin. Good.
The Republicans perceived this TO be
| tantamount to the election OF TilClen If
permitted to go on. The two electors
thereupOn refused to meet with Croniu
for the purpose of casting the electoral
| vote of Oregon. Upon learning this,
CrOnin, who, it seems, had the certiti-
Gates Of all three in his possession, held
meeting by himself declared that
there were two vacancies in the lIlec-
toral College of Oregon, elected two Re-
publicans who had not been voted for
at ali to I'll the vacancies, gave them
the two certificates, and proceeded to
vote for President. The result was two
votes for Hayes and one for Tilden.
This result was certified by the Cover
nor OF Oregon, covered with the great
seal of that State and forwarded to
Washington.
In inns way the prima facie election
of Mr.. Tilden Is secured and the vote
when 1t Is opened by the President Of
the Senate will show 1856 electoral votes
| for him to 1874 for Mr.. Hayes. The two
| Republican electors are reported to
have met and cast the vote of the State
for Hayes, but their action will lack
all official Authorization. Cronin's
proceeding may appear farcical, but it
is quite as legal and binding as the ac-
| ton of the Louisiana Returning Board,
and the effect will be to compel the Re-
publican Senate either to admit the
election OF Tilden on the face of the
vote or to go behind the seals of the
States and investigate the whole ques-
ton of fraud and iIlegality in the dis
| puted States.-N. q. Iintes

Centennial Trees.

NIB G. Northrop, the efficient secretary
OF the board of education for Connecticut, has
caused to be distributed among the schools of
our state circular suggesting tree planting
along highways and in our villages, as good
centennial move and as one that will carry its
own record down in graceful way for CEN
fury to come. As an incentive he has offered
small premiums to pupils, for the work. The
idea is capital one, and we trust may be act
ed upon not only in Connecticut but through
out New England. Mr.. Northrop specifies in
his circular the elm, maple, ash, whte-oak,
and walnut, with the conditions that the
trees should be not less than nine feet in
height. This height is undoubtedly requisite
for street planting, but boys should under
stand that within enclosures and in protected
positions smaller tree will serve, and, from
the larger chance of securing good rootlets,
will make, very likely, more vigorous
growth than the larger ones. To the list we
should add, without hesitation, the American
linden, or Eastwood, as being one Of onr fin
est shade trees-when planted on rich allu-
vial soil. For gravelly and dry SOILS the hard
maple will prove the best subject for trans
planting. In moist, low land, the elm and
red maple are most desirable. The oak and
walnut are very impatient of removal from
the forest; and, to certain degree also, the
ash. If taken from a nursery, however,
WHcre Cu0 Jap TOOG udS UeeH seVeIeu ny SUCH
transplanting, all will thrive. But if the oak
and walnut be removed from the woods with
no more care than is usually given to the
transplanting of the elm, the boys may count
upon losing at least five out of six. 1t is
very common practice in removal of naples
to cut the top squarely off some nine feet
from the ground-an amputation which the
maple bears very well-but, in such event,
one or two strong leading shoots are apt to
start from the top, and growing very evenly
in strength expose the tree to great risk of
splitting asunder at some future time. This
danger can be remediedI by cutting away all
but one leading shoot, which will after time
come to cover wholly the old place of excis-
ion, and give to the tree its normal form. A
single leading shoot, moreover, prevents that
bushy growth which is often urged against
the sugar maple, as giving too dense shade.
Naples should be planted at least 30 feet
apart; and elms 80 to 60, for fair and full de-
velopment. In view of the difficulties attend
ing the removal of the oak and walnut, we
should not advise the boys to cope with these
for roadside planting. The size requisite for
such position will involve pruning of roots
that will almost certainly result in their dy-
ing. Smaller ones, however,-of say an inch
diameter at the base-may with due care be
established near the homestead, and will
prove charming memorial of the centennial
year,-Cor, SDrinqfeId Republican

Root Pruning.

DR.. Hull, one of the most successful pomo-
logists in the west, delivered an address at
the annual meeting of the American Pomo-
logical Society in which he spoke as follows
on the subject of pruning the roots of fruit
trees:
81 have seen great revolutions in fruit
growing, having been a resident of Illinois
twenty-nine years. At first it was declared
that no cultivated fruits could be grown in
the middle and northern parts OF the state.
But l was determined to grow the finest
fruit or none, and have succeeded. l COM
menced root pruning as an experiment to
produce fruits on rapid growing trees that
did not bear, not expecting it would do to
continue it any length of time; but to my
surprise the trees that we're severely root
pruned not only bore the most and best fruits,
but they continued the most healthy, and
stood the severe winter the best. From this
fact studied on the needs of the tree, and
have found out that all trees and plants store
up each year certain amount of food for a
specific purpose alone. Now we can direct
the forces of any tree so that it will store up
food for fruit production instead of wood pro-
duction, if we wish, and not njure the tree
thereby. Some trees on favorable soil will
do this, while other varieties and other soils
tend to wood growth production; in such
cases they are so taxed to force the sap to the
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1876-04-10

ends of the long roots that they have not
time after making root-growth TO return the
sap to the buds and form fruit buds. In such
cases, if root primer be used in July, the
roots are shortened, the sap finds its way to
the ends of the roots, completes the root
grwth, the tree then forms fruit buds and rip
ems up all growth before winter sets in, and
is thus enabled to stand the winter unipjured,
and you get crop of fruit from every tree
that you wish. l have never known this to
fail when tried in July, and trees of any age
may be forced to bear fruit if desired; but a
ludicious system of thinning out all sprouts
and diseased branches is equally necessary.
BY this system, blight in a great measure is
prevented, and trees are kept healthy"

Heart Ventures.

1.-THE Rev. DR.. Behrends, new of Providence, ia
ermon on "Falth," recently delivered in this city
epeated the following lines
stood and watched my ships 90 ont.
Each one by one, unmooring free,
What time the quiet harbor filed
With food tide from the sea.
The first that sailed, her name was Joy,
She spread smooth, white ample sail;
And eastward drove with bending spars
Before the singing gale.
Another sailed, her name was Hope
No cargo In her hold she bore;
thinking to find in Western lands
or merchandise store.
The next that sailed, her name was Love,
She showed red flag at the mast
flag as red as blood she showed,
And she sped South right last
The last that sailed, her name was Faith,
Slowly she took her passage forth;
Tackled and lay-to; at last she steered
A straight course for the North.
My gallant ships they sailed away,
Over the shimmering summer see,
stood at watch for many day
But one came back to me.
For Joy was caught by Pirate Pain
Hope ran upon hidden reef
And Love took fire and foundered fast
In whelming seas of Grief.
Faith came at last, storm-beat and tom,
She recompensed me all my loss,
For as a cargo safe she brought
A crown linked to a cross.

The Cold spriug Trout Pounds.

These ponds are situated in the south part
of the village of Charlestown N. H., and are
owned by Messrs. Stone & Hooper. To the
latter gentleman l am indebted for informa-
ton, and for an inspection of their works.
Mr.. Livingston Stone began operation in
1866, being one of the first, in this country,
to engage in artificial fish breeding; and not
only has he acquired a worldwide reputation
as successful propagation of trout, but has
also given his valuable experience, in all
branches of the business, to the public, in his
Domesticated Trout-a book of $50 pages,
whichis acknowledged to be the most complete
guide in the art of trout raising ever pub
lished. Eggs and fish have been supplied to
| all the northern states, from ocean to ocean !;
and eggs have also been sent to England,
France and Germany with such success that
they have orders yearly from Europe, and
will ship spawn there this season. Nor do
they confine their labors to trout only; the
past winter they Matched 400, 900 salmon eggs.
They also stock lakes and ponds with black
bass. They keep living specimens of black
bass, salmon and land-locked salmon for those
who wish to see them.
Their spring furnishes 10000 gallons of
water per hour, which is strained from all
impurities by flannel selves or screams. The
water, thus purified, passes into the distribute
ing box, or through, and from that into the
Matching boxes, which are eight inches wide
and thirty feet long, and will hold 100000
eggs. The eggs are taken artifcially in the
late fall; the female trouts averaging 1000
eggs each.
From the Matching boxes the water passes
into the nurseries where the fry are placed
and fed on curd, liver, &c. Fish of the same
size are kept together, otherwise the larger
would devour the smaller. As we pass to
| each succeeding pond we find them in all
stages of growth, from the young fry to the
| breeding trout of from eight to fourteen inch
es in length. Of these last there are some
eight hundred, and as they lie quietly on the
clean sandy bottom or with eager haste dart
for morsel thrown to them, rejecting in
the sunlight all the beauties possible for a
trout to exhibit, they present sicture that
none can fail to admire and all wish to pos
sess. Few have done so as yet, but thou
sands will when fish culture shall receive the
attention due to it, and when water owners
shall become fully aware of its Importance.
Then they will stock their possessions with
trout, bass or salmon, and furnish to them
selves and others one of natures greatest lux
uries.-COuntyy Gentleman.
