Protecting Tree Trunks from the Sun

DIR. Samuel Hape, u prominent hOrti-
culturist of Georgia, considers the
afternoon sun rs having marked in
furious effect upon the southwest side
of the trunks of fruit trees The peach,
when trimmed high, suffers greatly
from this cause, especially in the south
ern climate. The bark dries up and
unless timely protection is provided,
the exposed trees slowly die from the
effect of the fiery rays of the afternoon
sun. The warming influence of the
morning hours is sufficient to overcome
preserves the health of the tree. The
effect of the afternoon sun is very
marked in blighted pear trees, the
southwest side being usually first at
fected. Trees that are grown on hill
sides sloping toward the east and south
east are much less subject to the mys-
terious and deadly blight. Currant.
gooseberry and raspberry plants are in
like manner affected by exposure to the
bright sun of the afternoon. exper-
iments in boxing trees, especially the
cherry, have been very successful. 1t
is only necessary to protect the south
west side of the tree trunk. Dr. Hape
suggests two boards nailed together
lengthwise by their edges, and placed
on the west side. as being sufficient to
protect the tree. Where possible, trees
may be shielded by being planted on
hillsides sloping to the southeast. Low
limbs will furnish much shade to the
trunks, and may be obtained by proper
pruning. The small fruits-currants,
gooseberries, raspberries etc., can be
easily protected from the afternoon
sun by being planted on the east side
of a fence or other objects yielding
shade. This matter of the sun-killing
of fruit trees demands tho attention of
all practical fruit-growers.- american

Money That Costs Too Much.

/ have seen farmers arrested and
locked up as criminals for offering
adulterated butter for sale; and, also,
for selling impure milk. L have seen
scores of barrels of oleomargarine oil
at prominent dairy stations on a rail-
road, addressed to farmers in the
vicinity whose BUSINESS is that of max
ing butter. The reputation of Ameri-
can dairy goods has been practically
ruined by the prevalent adulteration
with tallow and lard, and all because
farmers and dairymen 'must have more
money! Then there is the tobacco
business, which leads farmers to skin
the greater part of their farm so that a
few acres may be made to produce as
much money as hundred might.
These farmers even buy their flour and
meat and butter, and were it not for the
better sense of their wives they would
buy eggs and poultry, and even the fat
tened turkey, over which they profess
an annual thanksgiving which they do
not feel. Thus they abandon the first
duty of farmer, and ruin their land
and lay mp wretchedness for their chill
dren. At the same time they load
themselves with anxiety and misery.

have her arrested for it. No one was
more outspoken in his opinion of the
cowardice of such a man than Easygo,

red-headed woman stuck her head out

ANOTHER HORROR.
Explosion Of a Boiler In a shoe Factory
-Four Persons Killed and Many
Seriously Injured.

DOVER, N. H., Jan. Is.
A terrible accident occurred at Rochester
this afternoon at Wallace's shoe factory. The
concern was run by 100 horsepower engine
and three boilers. This noon there was
some trouble with the safety valve, when the
engineer, John Grimes, who was also boss of
the yard weighted the valve with brick and
disconnected the middle one of the boilers.
At one o'clock work started, and after run
ming some time it was found that there was
not power to drive the machinery, and orders
were soon after given to shut kown. Fifteen
minutes later the boiler burst with detona-
ton heard for miles. When the debris was
cleared away the middle boiler was found to
bs missing, and it was discovered in the
leather house 100 wards away. Four dead
bodies were found in the ruins, viz John
Grimes, engineer, aged 40; Angelic Hoyt,
fireman, aged 30 VIM. Cleveland, aged sc :
and Louis Depre, aged 80. The wounded
number six.
When the explosion occurred the boiler
penetrated a brick wall in the leather honse.
passing through the base of a 30 foot chin
ney. The dead bodies were picked up and
laid out in the currying shop and jury sum
moned for the inquest. All the bodies are
