To Make Apple Trees Bear.

We frequently see statements in the
papers OF inquiries if there is any
way of making apple trees bear fruit
on alternate years or every year.
Many years ago friend of mine
had dozen apple trees that were
bearing heavy crops of apples every
other year. He wished to have fruit
every year, so he took long pole
the trees were large--and gave them
heavy beating on one side, or half
of the tree, just as the fruit was about
the size of hickory nuts, knocking off
every fruit on the south side of the
trees The result was as / saw for
several years, that these trees bore
heavy crops on one side one year, and
tie next year heavy crop on the 9TH
er side, so that for many years he had
plenty of apples for home use every
year. His trees stood in a rich soil
that was annually cultivated-no
grass sod to cover the roots. 1t is
now about time to try the experiment.

JUDGE SAMPSON.
Gate f,aey 80 xkn Oth l~Ax

The sixth Iowa district had good
men to select from. Gen. Drake has
great positive qualities and strength
and would have made strong race.
Mr.. Cults is a man of rare political
qualities; one who would take rank
with the most brilliant and controll-
ing intellects in Congress. 1t was a
foregone conclusion that Judge
sampson would be re-nominated.
His party and the men of broad in
telligence in his district of whatever
party can afford to give him hearty
support in their own interests. We
have seen a good deal OF Judge
Sampson, and his Congressional quail
tiles and standing. We told at the
time how Speaker Randall gave into
his hands real control of the only
fight made as to the passage of the
silver bill. 1t was rare distinction
and was one which Judge SIMPSONS
mental qualities earned and justified.
A great speaker like Blaine or Ran
dali becomes consu inmate judge of
men and picks out of any House al
most unerringlY, the men who can
SVA"oSA
These are always few in any House
and Judge Sampson, with his expe-
rience on the floor is now one of
them. He Is modest, but resolute,
prompt, clear-headed, positive and
sagacious. His training on the bench
aids the natural bent Of his intellect,
to 60 straight through the chaff to
the kernel of questions. He is won
derfully quick in seeing and clear
in stating the real point at issue in
any disputed question. He has
now been long enough in the
House that despite his modesty he
hears that he has entitled himself TO
the floor and hearing and the chair
and the House yields it to him. He
is straightforward, direct and sim
core man. He never leaves you in
doubt as to what his own course is
going to lie about anything. He
doesn't form an opinion until he has
Informed himself of the merits of
question and then he is positive and
explicit. His sincere and unaffected
pervades the man and all he
does SO that there is never any aues-
ton in any ones mind as to whether
Sampson is other than sincere and up
right.
We do not think ii possible for Ell
Their the democrats or greenbackers
TO nominate man who would near
ly be 80 strong and valuable a repre-
of all the people of his dis
trict and their interests in national
as Judge Sampson. And
we feel that his opinion rests upon
competent information.

Notwithstanding the farcicsI o,ioi

Notwithstanding the farcical origin
of the Mormon religion and the alb
surdity of the peculiar tenets of the
church, 1t appears to be not only
holding it's own but thriving as well
as other religious organizations. A
few days since, no less than 224 Nor
mon converts arrived in New York
from Europe. The most of them
were Germans and Swiss, though
there were few Welsh among the m.
They were brought over by Theodore
Brandt, Mormon missionary, him
self foreigner, who went to Utah in
1872, where he set up in the business
of farming. He had not been atthis
long, however. before he imagined
he had "a call'' for missionary work.
He was accepted as such by the heads
of the church and sent to Europe on
propaganda expedition. He is re-
ported as saying that there are plen-
ty of Mormons on the European Con-
tinent. Many not now mem ers have
given in their adhesion to the Nor
mon faith, and are anxious to Join
the church ut Utah, and will do so as
soon as they can raise funds to reach
that destination. He reported that
800 would leave Europe on the Goth
of June, on the steamer Guien, who
are probably now on the ocean.
Those first referred to are enroute to
Utah.

The Louisiana Sugar Crop.

Speaking of the sugar crop in Lou
isiana, the New Orleans Times, of
June rs, says: "The present prospect
ia entirely satisfactory. The. seed
cane turned out much better than
was anticipated, the planting was sue
cessfully accomplished, the season has
been propitious and one of the heav-
lest crops of the past ten years is now
advancing to maturity under thor
oughly favorable conditions. There
is no reason to recede from-on the
contrary, every indication affirms-
our estimate, made some weeks ago,
that the crop pr 1878 will tie as fine as
that OF 1877 was expected to be at
this time last year."

How TO AVOID SuNsTRoKE.-The

of New York city has been approved
and published by that board. We
copy it entire, as it lie as good for one
locality as another:
Sunstroke 10 caused by excessive
heat, and especially if the weather is
"muggy." 1t is more apt to occur on
the second, third or fourth day of a
term than on the first. Loss of sleep,
worry, excitement, close sleeping
rooms, debility, abuse of stimulants,
predispose to it. 1t is more apt to
attack these working in the sun, and
more especially between the hours of
IL o'clock in the morning and 4
o'clock in the afternoon. On hot
days wear thin clothes. Have rs
cool sleeping rooms IS possible.
Avoid loss of sleep and all unnecessa-
ry fatigue. If working indoors, and
where there is artificial heat-laun-
dries, etc-see that the room is we'll
ventilated.
If working in the sun wear q light
hat, (not black % it absorbs the heat),
straw, &C., and put inside of it on the
head, q wet cloth ON large green
leaf frequently lift the hat from the
head to see that the cloth is wet. Do
not check Precipitation, but drink
what water you need to keep it up,
as Precipitation prevents the body
from being overheated. Have, when
ever possible, an additional shade, as
q thin umbrella, when walking, q can
vass or broad cover when working in
the sun. When much fatigued do
not 60 to work, but be excused from
work, especially after IL o'clock in
the morning on very hot days, if the
work is in the sun. If q feeling of
fatigue, dizziness, headache or ex-
haustiOn occurs, cease work immedi-
ately, lie down in q shady and cool
place apply cold cloths to and pour
cold water over head and neck. II
any one is overcome by heat, send i'm
mediately for the nearest good ply

clan give the person cool drinks OF

if able to swallow. If the skin 10 hot

The great race 1T Louisville on the
4th drew an immense crowd, and q
large number no doubt left the track
disappointed. Ten Brock went away
from Molly Mccarthy with all the
ease that his most sanguine admirers
could have desired. 1t was not learn
ed until the nsgs entered ON the third
mile that the mare was badly over
matched. She had run one good
four-mile race on the coast making it
in Z 1874 but, although she was de-
clared in good condition by her back
ers and trainers, she was certainly
out Of place on the Louisville course.
In none Of her practice was she push
ed, nor was she ever given q heating
canter over tho four miles. 1t 10 now
apparent that Mollie did not know
the work that she had to do. Her
trainers were two confident in judg-
ing her by her looks and the admira-
BILE way in which she responded when
gently pressed ON the two-mile trials.
The horse was at home, % also was
his jockey; for he remained with the
till he saw whether she could 60 with
him on . squirt, and then left for
good. There were doubtless large
amounts changed hands by the mare
being distancsd ON the first heat
The time made was insignificant, the
last mile being . walk-over for Ten

This Sarsaparilla is combination of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia. Man
drake, Yellow Dock - with the Iodides
OF Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficaclous medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully com
bined, that the full alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so etfectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
GRITTY to any other medicine known, that
