The first number of the New York star,
the new administration organ, is said to
have made very little impression in polit
ical circles. its editorial page being de
scribed as colorless and rather uninter-
estingN New ventures in journalism are
not setting the world on fire this year
The fact is they have too many good estab-
lished rivals to contend with. The public
does not seem much inclined to abandon
the Old and tried journals for the new
Corners. Meteoric journalism has pretty
much had its day.
The death of Barnum famous elephant
"Jumbo' will seem almost like a national
loss. In fact he had worked his way into
American literature he had come to be
the synonym for all that was monumental
in American enterprise and industry.
Anything big and notable was, adject-
lively, "Jumbo." 1t seems almost absurd
that this mammoth should have gone

must make way for another adjective-an
enduring monument to the fame of the
greatest pachyderm that this generation
has ever seen.

Manuring Trees aud Vines.

1t is supposed by some that when
any invigorator is to be applied to
trees or vines, it cannot be applied
too plentlfully, and they according
ly mulch and manure to the damage
Of whatever is planted out, and won
der that it does not grow more Wig
orously. We have known farmers
when setting out grape vines to dig
a pit and throw in the carcasses Of
two or three sheep or bushel or 50.
Of old bones from slaughter houses
to each root, giving only alight COW
ering of dirt, believing that if bones
are good for vines, the roots would
run down into the putrid flesh or
the dry bones, and feed plentifully
thereon.
Now, anyone knows that roots or
seeds placed in dung hill, will not
thrive, and this should teach all
that manure only furnishes portion
of the elements required for thelsup-
port of vegetation, and that bed Of
manure or bone beneath tree or
vine, is only an impeachment to it's
growth. A pint of bone dust will
work greater benefit to a tree or q
vine, when worked into the surface
soil, than abushel Of whole bones I'M
der the roots, and so will afew SHOW
elfuls Of decomposed sods increase
the growth Of any plant more than
a cart load of manure put in beneath
the roots.
Digging pits, especially in clay
soil, and filing them with any ma
terial, before setting out shrubs, is
bad plan, for this excavation will
hold water as well as cistern, and
the roots Of the trees or vines will
for several months in the year have
to stand in complete mud-hole.
When setting out single tree or
vine, loosen up the soil no deeper
than the hard-pan, and work in rich
surface soil ard loam-being sure to
get fine dirt around the fibrous roots.
When planting an orchard, unless
the ground is thoroughly under
drained, dig no deeper than the plow
goes, then the drainage will be
sufficient to save the tree from
drowning out. Never mix fresh
barnyard manure with the soil when
planting orchards or Vineyards

Breaking Tn.

On every hand we see evidences that win

Weld to the advancing spring. 1t is a most
important question amongst scientific men
what causes the general feeling of debility
and lassitude so prevalent in this region.
While some regard it as the result of confine-
ment and inaction. others suppose it to be
caused by the decay of vegetable and animal
debris which has accumulated during the
winter. What is especially needed at this
time however, is something to overcome
these influences. 1t is too late to talk about
the causes; what is the cure: Thousands OF
persons all over the country who have given
kidney Wort faithful trial are ready to tes-
tify that no other remedy is equal to it for
cleansing the system, purifying the blood,
regulating the bowels. and curing all kidney
and liver diseases. 1t is in fact the king Of
