How to Fcrtilize Fruit Trees.

The following we clip from one OF
our rural exchanges, which carries
an excellent thought and is Of inter
est to many of our people.
Here and there on all farms and
in most fruit gardens will be seen an
occasional fruit tree or grape vine.
which seems to lack vigor docs not
grow well, and yet seems to have no
particular disease. The probabili
ties are that the tree is dying OF
starvation and needs liberal sup
ply of food. When you give it this
ration do not pile load Of manure
around the trunk of the tree or the
body of grape vine. That is just
the place where it will! do the least
good. Nearest the trunk of the tree
the roots are ali large. The fibrons
roots-the feeders are further oil
near the ends Of the roots. These
only can take MP the nutriment. 1t
is always safe TO assume that the
roots extend as lar from the trunk
in every direction AZ do the limbs OF
the tree, and to properly fertilize,
spread The manure all over that area.
Then fork il ia ami you have done
IA good work and done il. well. If
some disease h1s hegun its work on
the tiec, you put The tree ina heal
THY, sigoious andition, the better
enabling it To successfully contend
aoaihs lis q enies. We have seen
numerous old pear and apple trees,
bearing poor and gnarlci fruit, which
the owners consider OF no value, but
which such treatment as we have
outlined above world restore to their
original usefulness.

control OF the entire natter Very
naturally, the citizens Of Washing
ton want grand spectacular display
that can be attractlvely advertised
and that will draw the largest pos
sible crowds. On the other hand
certain persons who see "monarchic-
al tendencies IN every deviation
from the simplicity Of the early
day Of the republic" feel as tail
twister Robinson felt when he drew
the resolution TO be introduced IN
Congress. prohibiting tfiumphal
arches OF military display, and pro
yiding that the President elect shall
ride in "a plain carriage drawn. by
not more than two horses and with
out decorations of livery" accompa-
MED By the Chief Justice, to the
Capitol where he shall address sucli
citizens as may be there to hear
him."
1t is understood that the SUBJ
committee will consult with Mr..
Cleveland before arranging their
programme, and this renders it prac
tically certain that, in the Inaugural
ton ceremonies proper, there will be
no straining after theatrical effect.
One Of Cleveland's most pronounced
traits is a hearty aversion ~ the
pomp and circumstance Of official
life; and he has already Indicated
his views TO the delegation of New
York business men who waited upon
him last week to tender him bust
ness mems escort to Washington.

sometimes it is just as bad to strain
after simplicity in such matters as
to be too cerclnonious."
There, as usual, Mr., Cleveland
strikes the keynote of common
sense. Personally he dislikes dis
play and would probably prefer inst
about such a programme as Dir.
Robinson prescrihes, but his mind is
too we'll balanced not to know that
tile affection of over-simpicity is
just as shallow as the craving for
pretentions display. Something is
due to the office as well as to the
man who is To fill it; and it is right
and proper that the introduction OF
q man into the august Office of Pres
ident of the United States should he
made as public and as impressive ms
is'compatible with just view OF the
dignity and solomnity Of the occas-
ion Exchange.

tOuf iltlle heads were ia the nest,
And hi the cradle one.
Without, the feathered mother
Kept faithful watch and ward;
Within, the human mother watched;
Above them watched the Lord.
And sitting there in silence
Unbroken by word,
There grew to be bond between
The woman and the bird.
so that, when each had graded
Her offspring for the night,
She looked TO see that all within
The other home was right.
There came time OF storm without,
a time of grief within:
The chair stood vncant-bare the twig
Where once bird had been.
And when once more the window
Stood open to the west
"A saddened human face looked out
Upon a shattered nest.
All. strange the link that bound them
Even in grief so great!
." Poor little friend!' the woman cried,
:" Are both homes desolateY'
While, perched unseen above her.
Upon woodbne spray
The small brown bird sat mourning
Whom she thought far away.
And seeing but the empty crib,
The mother all alone,
She inly chirpcI: Poor thing, poor thing,
Her little one as ilown!'
The sun sank down: forsakcn
Hung either little bed:
Tine human guardian was gone.
The sentry bird had fled.

To give His children rest;
