MANuRINe ORCHARDS.
Various Things 10 he Done 70 Have Or
ehards Ready for Winter,

Various Things 20 BE Done to Have Or
chards Ready for wiDtsr.
Some years ago we wrote an article
against heavily manuring apple or
chards, but were criticised so severely
over it, we have kept stiIl since that
time But q constant thinking and
watching have been kept up. and the
opinion then entertained has not en-
tfrely departed. 1t is very probable
that many Of the orchards which have
been killed the past two winters would
now be alive and healthy II they had
not been too highly msnured, making
IOo vigorous and late grOwths.
Some twenty years ago lot Of the
best-know hardy trees were procured.
A part of them were set out in the veg
etable garden, which was highly man
ured year after year. The balance
were set out in the orchard proper,
which was sown to red clover, but the
ground was cultivated for three or four
feet around the trees. The trees in the
vegetable garden grew much faster
than those in the cloVer-sod orchard.
But in six years every tree in the gar
den was killed by the effect of the cold
winters, while not one of the ten in the
orchard perished in fifteen years, but
were thrifty and bore good crops when
we left the farm. That was the reason
why we opposed even liberal manuring
Of orchards. After the trees were six
years old the clover was permitted to
grow around the trees The clover was
neither cut nor pastured, but allowed
to grow and fall down, making a good
mulching winter and summer 1t may
be we are heterodox on this subject.
It is not our idea for the trees to ex.
haust the soil, and be thus starved to
death. But a continuous clover crop
without removing any Of it, will keep
the soil rich enough, and always be
moist, as 1t is protected by the heavy
mating Of the last years clover.
It is all important chat orchards
should be underdrained, as we suppose
all good farmers have attended to this
important requisite. But when the
ground is frozen there Is considerable
water on the surface from rains and
thawing snow. To prevent this water
from standing around the trees, or Of
being frozen to ice about them, it Is i'm
portant that this fall before the ground
freezes to have the ground raised about
the trees so that the water viii not
stand too near And il there are any
weeds, rubbish or litter about the trees
in which mice can be protected, it
should be removed before d is covered
with snow. There are various things
to be done to have the orchard ready
for winter -Dss MoiBss ReCistey.

The practice Of .top-dressing small
grain in which weeds can not easily bo
destroyed is one Of the causes of the
great increase Of weeds. Only thor
ougbly composted manure should be
used for top-dressing. If you have
some not cOmposted it is better to
spread it over the grassland intended
for next seasons planting. Do not de-
fer this until spring, as all the rains Of
fall and SHOWS of winter are needed to
dissolve its soluble fertility and distrib-
ute it through the soil There is abso-
lutely no waste of manure used in top
dressing grass lands unless they are
subjected to overflow. Where manure
full Of weed seeds is spread on grass
land at this season most of these seeds
will germinate before winter and be de-
stroyed either by freezing or by next
springs plowmg. - Toledo Blade.

Early vegetables were nipped, but there

the effect on fruit buds, some claiming that
the dry condition of the atmosphere will
prevent any great injury. From the east

say fruit has not been killed, except, per.

CHARLESTON, w. Va. May 9-Friday
morning. at an early hour, some one called
Deputy United States Marshal j. s Atkin
son to the window of the marshaIs office, in
the custom house. Atkinson did not reply,
whereupon the unknown party shot through
the window, the bullet just missing an
other deputy. Atkinson is brother of
United States Marshal Atkinson, and
has been diligent during the past four years
in ferreting out violators of the internal
revenue laws in this section of the state.
As the federal court is in session here now,
which brings many moonshiners in, it is
thought that one Of the number who holds
grudge against Deputy Atkinson tried
kill him. His life has been threatened fire.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, May 9.-The election
In the Thirty fourth district finds but on one
precedent in the history of the state OF
Illinois. In the legislature of 1854 Abraham
Lincoln and Joel E. Madison were rival
candidates for the United States
senate. Mr.. Lincoln represented the
ruling party. while Mr.. Madison was
the candidate of the DEN ocracy. At the
time referred to Mr.. Lincoln was a member
oil the house from the Springfield district,
having as q colleague the late Stephen L.
Logan. Sangamon county was at that time
ruled by the combined forces of the Wings
and Know Nothings their majority being
estimated at 800 Lincoln after receiving
the caucus nomination, resigned his seat in
the lower house, and Norman b.
Broadwell, of this city, then a
young lawyer of Wing proclivities, was
Broadwel's election was conceded to be a
walk-away, but the Democrats went on a
still-hunt, aud the heads of the party met in
Spring field and secretly nominated an old
farmer named Jonathan McDaniels as the
party candidate. The fact was kept dead
secret, except to two or three
prominent men in each township, who
were notified to turn out the full
party vote of their precincts late in the
afternoon of election day. To deceive their
opponents a dozen Democrats in each pre-
cinct were delegated to stroll to the cross
roads during the forenoon and cast written
ballot, ostensibly for some prominent man
in their respective precincts, all having the
same candidate About 4.30 o'clock the
Democrats swarmed in full force at the polls,
but their opponents were taken by sur
prise, and, thinking they had no accepted
candidate, did nothing to checkmate them.
When the ballots were counted Jonathan
McDaniels, whose name had never been
audibly uttered during the day, was found
to have been elected over Broadwell by a
handsome majority. Thus this scheme not
only defeated Lincoln for tho United States
senate, but furnished Democratic sue
cessor for the seat which he had resigned in
order to become senatorial can lidate.
