How to Have Apples Every Year.

j. W., Fingal, Ont, writes how he has
succeeded in having apples every year by
changing the bearing year Of one OF the two
trees. They had both been laden with fruit
every alternate year for ten years. Last
year they were both covered with blossoms,
and being DESTROYS to change the bearing
year OF one of them, he with bis son resolved
TO pick off the blossoms. They commenced
at seven O'Clock in the morning and COM
pleted their work by eleven. The result of
this experiment ia that this year he is well
rewarded for his labor; the tree from which
he picked the blossoms is so heavily laden
that the branches are well-nigh breaking
with The load, while the tree that bore last
year has on not more than dozen apples
BY this means he expects to have one tree
bearing well every year, giving him suffi-
cient for his family's use. II shaking OF
knocking of the young fruit would hav.. the
same effect, it would be much easier and
quicker way OF preventing the tree bearir e
for the season; but Of this be has had no ex,
perienee. He would advise those whose
orchards are bearing fruit alternately to try
the experiment next year.-Farmer's Ad-
cocate.

SHEEP AND DOGs.-A Missouri farmer
has been figuring out the effect of keeping
dogs in that State in relation to sheep rails
ing. lie states that in thirty-two counties
in that State 10,602 sheep were killed by
dogs; he estimates tile number Ct dogs in
these counties at 100000; thata hog will
thrive on the food necessary to support an
able bodied dog, and at the end OF the year
weigh two hundred pounds; therefore, il
the food for these 100000 dogs went
to the hogs, it would make $4,000 pounds OF
pork, worth at least six cents pound. Or

school-houses in the State, and more than
twice the amount used by the State for

4 COW YARD OR Il PARK,

It is time our citizens took some decided
action to prevent Como park from being des-
poiled. The proposition is to lease it for a
term of fifty years, at nominal rental, for
cattle yGrd.
The GLOBE confesses to surprise that such
a suggestion should ever have been made,
and that when made, it was entertained for
a moment. The park was an expensive pur-
chase, but now that we have it, it should be
retained for the purpose for which it was &C.
cured. The city is building an avenue
which, in very short time, will be traversed
by street cars, and the poor man for
ten cents each way or fifteen cents for the
round trip will be able to visit these public
grounds. We do not propose to be drawn
into the argument as to whether the original
purchase was wise or unwise. The purchase
was made, and if it is now diverted private
Interests will be subserved at public expense.
1t is the last and only chance st. Paul will
ever have to secure park worthy of the
name. It is penny wise at this day to throw
it away. There is no doubt relative to the
sentiment of the people. They desire to
have the park retained where it is at present
located. A petition to this effect would OBJ
tain thousands of signatures.

Lots of Husbands.

A case of moral obliquity was related at
the Relief society recently. The woman
herself told the story. It's mixed affair of
frequent husbands, and consequential
mixture of names. Christine Anderson three
years ago was unfortunate. She was taken
up by some Christian ladies, and a search
made for the man. Meantime she became
unfortunate again. Then the man was found.
and was persuaded by sheriff to consumate
''for better for worse lob. He thoupht
better or worse of it after it was performed,
and skipped. Since when, she hasn't seen
him. Not long after she came in her Sunday
best, and with her ga real, good, nice man,
also in his Sunday toggery. They wanted to
get married. It was explained, she couldn't,
without divorce. How much would it cost
and how could it be obtained. Three wears
absence would procure the documents in
Minnesota.
s'Such long time, was CALCULATED
In Chicago, the remedy could be applied
and fetch things to head in much shorter
time.
divorce lawyer was applied to, and re-
sponded, S65 was about the amount.
LOO much money, was the grievous and
sadly spoken complaint.
Then Christine Anderson Baumann went
oil with L. A. Barquist, and to avoid the ex-
pense, went to housekeeping with him.
Now she learns that Barquist has wife in
the old country. That wife will soon start
Tor America. and will soon reach St. Paul,
She fears she will be bounced, and thinks t.
$50 wicked for the men to act in this wav.

ARMY APPROPRIATION Bull.

ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The House went into
committee of the whole on the army appropri-
alton bill, and Mr.. Durham submitted an
amendment reducing the army to &c, 900 enlist
ed men.
Mr.. Whitthorne moved to reduce the num-
Der to IL, 00O and argued in favor of better
organization of militia.
After considerable debate a vote was taken
on Whitthorne's amendment and it was de-
feated.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, moved to amend by
fixing the force at $1,000. He said the expe-
rience which the country had had connected
with this disruption of States of the breaking
down of popular and electoral liberties, had
given it warning against any undue increase
OF the army. He believed but that for the
threat of Gen. Grant, commander-in-chief of
the army, whose special love of military power
had been aggrandized by his travels in Europe.
and but for the fact that there was an army of
10000 in 1877, the popular will of the courts
would not have been stricken down by the in
auguration Of the present occupant of the White
House. With faith, growing out of jealousy of
military power and physical force, he had al
ways voted and would always vote, for re-
duction of the army.
Mr.. Atkins said the House had on three diff
ferent occasions voted for &c, COO as the regular
force of the standing army. That had
been the expression of the House.
and the committee on appropriations. KNOWING
that in order to get this bill through at all the
number would have to be fixed at Is 900. had
filed that number on the bill d. 81.
MIR. Mills said that there seemed to be a fear
that the standing army would destroy the lib
