A More Vigorous Policy in Mexican
Affairs Decided CDOn

The government has under seriOus cOnSid
Grafton and discussion the subject of Mexican
and Indian depredatiOns on the Rio Granie
committed by thieves and robbers from the
state OF Mexico The last raid OF this char
acter Into Texas resulted in serious loss of life
10 American citizens. A large amount of
property was also either carried of or
destroyed. Immediately upon the receipt of
Gen. Ord'S official report of this raid it was
decided az Cabinet meeting TO adJp; a more
vigorous policy on the border. Gen Ord was
sent Tor 10 give his views on the subject. He
has been here for nearly week in close con
Su!tatlOn with the President Secretaries EyartS
ana McCrary,a and Gen. Sherman. Finalac- ion
mas not Yet been determined on. It can be
sta.ed authOrltiVely however IN II this govern
ment will use all its power to pit an end TO
depredatiOnS of this class which have bsen of
frequent occurrence for the last thirteen years.
When Gen. Ord returns to his command he
will carry with him full instructions on
this subject. They will be of a very decided
character. The attention OF the Mexican
government will be, as it has frequently
Deen IN times past, called To the condition of
affairs, and an earnest request for its co-oper
alton made. II it fails in its duty, then the
Ihlted States government will take upon l.
self the entire responsibility of APPLYING a
radical cure to the evil The whole subject

matter, however, the first prominence will

policy in protecting the lives and property Of

A BIunder Affecting the District.

Yet another serious error of omission has
been discovered in the sundry civil apprOpri-
alton bill, and this time il affects District af-
1airS. 1t occurs in the paragraph authorizing
the District Commissioners to issue cert lin
thirty year bonds. In the progress of this bill
Through the two houses there was difference
as to the rate of interest. The House placed
the rate at six per cent. and the Senate re-
duced it to five. The conference committee
agreed upon five per cent, but through a cler-
lcal omission the rate was not inserted in the
report of the committee. When the mistake
was discovered a joint resolution was rushed
through in the closing hours of the session
directing the Clerk of the House in the en-
rOllment OF the bill TO insert the word i've
In the blank. But by another fatality the
enrolling clerks neglected to insert il, and the
act as approved by the President leaves the
rate OF interest blank, so that the section is
virtually nuHifed, as the Secretary of the
Treasury has, it is believed, no power to rem
edy the omission. The paragraph as it stands
In the act is as follows:
And the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia ara hereby authorized to issue prOp-
erly prepared bonds of said District to the
amount OF two hundred and eighty-One thou
sand seven hundred and fifty dollars for the
redemption of the ten year bonds issued by

eral assembly o: June twenty sixth. eighteen

The new criminal code of Virginia, estab
fishing the whipping post, went into operation
yesterday. Stripes are to be inflicted upon
persons convicted for the first time of petty
larceny. An cutlery is made in some quarters
against this law as baTbarity, but SO long as
the lash is used as means of correction for
tender children in the public schools there
does not seem to be cause for this sensitive

The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1878-10-24

Look well 10 your fruit trees and do
not let the rabbits and borers get tho
start Of you. Now is a good time to
prepare your trees for winter, BY re-
moving the grass and weeds At least
two feet from the root of the tree, lest
mice and moles burrow about the roots
and destroy them. At the same time
look sharply for borers, and if earth
has been banked up about the trees,
have itleveled down; and if you see .
little fine saw dust, or dark spot on
the bark, you may rest assured that the
enemy is at work near where those
signs appear, and no time should be
lost in removing the bark and dislodg-
ing the rascal. To be thorough in this
matter will require time aud some
backache, but you cannot foregO the
loss of your trees, which will be iney-
liable unless the woodpecker has at
tended 10 it for you, which is not prob
able unless your orchard is near the
timber. Mr.. Joseph Savage, Secretary
OF the Douglas County Horticultural
Society, says that a neighbor of his,
whose orchard was near the timber,
after removing q foot Of the earth
from the trunks of his trees in search
of borers, left the surgical part 10 be
performed after dinner. When he re-
turned, in an hour, he found the wood
peckers at work. and allowed them to
finish the job, aud upon examination
found the work well done as far as
The borers were concerned. But the
dead bark was not removed, which
should be for the health Of the tree in
future. Mr.. Savage also says he has
discovered a healthy wash for trees,
which the rabbits and borers do moi
relish. lie has used it for two years
with complete success, and cheerfnlly
recomm ends trial Of it. This is the
wash-To two quarts of thin -four
paste, thickened while hot, with sui
phur, TO the consistency of paint, add
three spoonfulls Of pine tar, with the
same amount Of fish oil. Mix well,
and apply with a paint brush while
warm. This paste will remain on the
trees all winter, and when the spring
growth commences will flake of, leav-
ing the tree in healthy condition.

Early Seeding Peaches.

From the large numbers of very SUI
perior early peaches which were re-
ported the past season from the mid
die and southern portions of Kansas,
we are led to believe that the climate
and soil of the State possesses pecu-
liar properties for the development OF
that luscious fruit. Very early ripen-
ing peaches are, as rule in peach
growing districts, small aud of very
Inferior quality. The Ha!e's Early
headed the list of early peaches until
the Beatrice appeared. The former is
a green flushed peach, and may be de-
-cribed as aat in flavor, stale and un-
profitable, generally rotting before ri
pening. The Beatrice is small, and
from the best information we have
got, is also of little account But the
seedlings produced this year from
Kansas soil are large, well-1avored,
,ud earlier ripening fruit than any
which have claimed attention in the
.ame latitude further east.
We have been assured by an expert
emccd horticulturist, who has had ex-
perience in fruit growing in several
States, that the climate of Kansas ma
lures fruit better than any place he
aas ever before witnessed.
IL should be the care of our nursery
mel. to secure cuttings of gratis from
al the choice seedlings, give them APP
popriate pames, and propagate these
superior kinds. Choice fruit ALWAYS
commands ready sale in large quaint
les Mt high prices. The markets are
never glutted with very choice fruit

Clover.

Clover is called the "sheet anchor of
American husbandry." 1t will do more
to bring impoverished land to high
state Of cultivation. aud at less ex-
pense, than any other agency. And
just in such proportion ms the farmer
cultivates this plant viii he he reliev-
ed from the necessity of purchasing
commercial fertilizers to enrich his
land. While there is no system of
cultivation winch will enable the farm
er to keep up the fertility of his land
without resorting to snch agencies,
vel the use of clover will go very far
towards accomplishing il. Clover will
cancel notes, pay mortgages, and bring
where there is want.-Bos-
