Unpleasantly Suggestive.

A telegram announcing that the train to
Gettysburg, on which the President and Vice
President of the United States were passengers,
was detained for some time owing to an accident
to the engine, calls attention to the condition in
which the country would be placed if, by any
unfortunate calamity, the President and Vice
President should both die at the same time
If Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Hendricks should
both die at the same time between now and
next December there is no provision for Pres-
dental succession and there is no person in
whom executive power is lodged. There Is
no President pro tempore of the Senate. Mr.
Hendricks did not vacate the chair prior 20 the
adjournment of the last session to permit the
Republicans to choose President pro tempore
Hendricks in doing this simply followed a
precedent which was set by MIR. Arthur him
self, when the latter was Vice President, and
when the Senate adjourned at time of great
factional excitement within the party. There
is no Speaker of the House of Representatives,
as the House is not organized. The wisest
men of the nation are not quite agreed as to
what would happen in such contingency.
The proclamation of the Secretary of State
ordering new election of President and Vice
President would be observed and republican
institutions would be preserved, although the
Government would be headess Warnings
enough of this sort have been given to Con-
gress since 1876, but they seem not to be
needed.

Manurlug Old Orchards.

OHe OF the popular taliacies that still
fingers in the rural districts, is that ma
TUE orchards do not need fertilizers
Farmers may be painstaking III the
planting, and IN eultIEdting the orchard
for few Years, until it comes into bear
ing, but, as a rule, after that, it is neg
lecLed, and not intrequently either pas
ured or moved, and the soil is compelled
tn bear two crops annually, without
manure, until it is exhausted. Then the
rIy Is raised that lit does not pay to plant
orchards, at best we only get fruit iii
abundance every other year" The folly
of this neglect il demonstrated every
wear, and the facts are published abun4-
anty in the agricultural papers, but
unfortunately these journals have quite a
limited circulation, even in the farming
towns They are numbered by tens and
tWontlcs. where they ought to be by
hundreds. On the old homestead, where
the writer ate apples from the tree and
the barrel, raw, cooked and preserved
the year round 10 the age Of homespun
there was an old tree famous for its early
apples, d seeding, and an inveterate
bearer in alternate years 1t happened
in the enlargement OF the garden, that
the ground underneath this tree was
plowed, manured, and planted with po-
tat0eS, and as result, the bearing year
was changed and we had two full crops
III successive Years. The manure helped
this result, and the rotting of the sod that
had been accumulating for years helped
still more. The fact did not impress the
owner much, but it did impress the boy
who helped to eat the apples, and turned
the grindstone under the grateful shade.
1t is a well known fact that pear and
apple trees that stand in gardens, espe
cially in village gardens which have
liberal fertIizing and cultivation every
year, bear regularly, and are seldom
without fruit, except when the frost or
hail destroys it. Men who make IA spe-
cialty of growing fruit for market, and
feed their trees abundantly, get well paid
for their labor, and send apples to the
city markets by the car or boat load. The
secret OF their uniform success is in the
fact that they feed their trees regularly,
and thin out all supertluous wood, and
give the orchard all needed attention.
They do not steal away the food of the
trees in grass or grain crops. They are
content with the fruit. There is no rea-
son why the average farmer, who has
suitable land for fruit trees, should not
have an abundant supply Of fruit for
home use, and for market. 1t is in the
line OF his business to raise crops for
market, and to make the manure that is
needed to produce them. 1t is in the line
OF true economy to purchase the ferti-

Ride from Fort fairfield to Grand Falls.

Once on time teacher and one of his schol-
ars took Saturday for recreation, and ride
among the Bluenoses. After crossing the line,
(where we had to turn to the left when meet
ing teams) and the Aroostook river, George
said to his teacher. "Now the principal things
you'll see from here to the Falls Will be boys
and girls, buckwheat and hogs" He said that
on one ride over the same road he counted one
hundred and eighty hogs running at large; but
was told that he had better take off one hun
dred. The teacher, out of sport, began count
ing, but found the numbers increasing so fast
that he had TO give it up. About half way to
the Falls, in the yard of tumble-down shanty,
we saw an animal of doubtful name. He was
a long, lean, slab-sded fellow and his ears and
tail had been cut or frozen off. The question
suggested was, is it deer, or sheep, or hog:
Arrived at the Falls, we believed the word
Gr@"d Just the word. The st. John river is
very wide above the Falls, but gradually mar
rows very much and pours an immense VOL
ume of water some one hundred feet over
rocks and jaggy ledges. The channel below the
Falls is so narrow that in great freshets the wa
ter below comes up to the full level of that
above, making smooth river. Queen Victoria
suspension bridge, l25 feet above low water. is
a wonderful specimen of civil engineering.
The river is very narrow below the Falls, and
in one place, at low water, a stone can be drop
ped from the east bank and strike ON the ledge
on the west side. The natural wells in the cal
careous lodges are great curiosity. There are
a vast number, varying from the size of Il cup
to forty feet deep and ten feet across. These are
formed by the circular action of rocks in times
of freshets. Below the wells is what is called
the coffee mill; an eddy, into which everything
that floats is turned round in constant circles
until ground up. The old bridge went down
with a heavy team on it-driyer and team took
their last ride.

izers that are lacking to grow maximum

lizers that are lacking to grow maximum
crops. 1t does not pay to grow minimum

you can tertilize and improve by cultiva

rather than breadth of the soil turned by
