POLITICAL PROSPECTS.
A New Candidate for Sheriff--CaDt.
Starkey,S Erosuects

There were no new discoveries yesterday
in political circles. The interest in the
spring campaign will be very light and there
is not very heavy canvass being made.
Both parties are reservlng their forces to
bring into the field in the fall. when a
bloody warfare is promised. This spring
there will be nine vacancies to ill on the
board of education. The terms of the fol-
lowing inspectors expire: Harmon, First
ward; Wampler Second ward: Giesen.
Third ward; Ellis and Athey, Fourth ward:
Curtis and Fogg, Fifth ward: Berlandi.
Sixth ward; DObner. Seventh ward. For
these seats there have been no candidates
brought to the front yet and there are no
signs of hard fighting over the seats ap-
parent. 1t is probable that Inspector Athev
from the Fourth ward will ask to be re-
elected and he will undoubtedly be sent
back.
1t seems now as though majority of the
members of the board would be re elected.

An Orchard Fertilizer.
American Agriculturist.


The best fertilizer I have used for fruit trees
is made of chip dirt from the woodpile and old
ashes. mix in the proportion of one bushel Of
ashes to three of the chipdirt stirring well with
the shovel About two bushels of this mixture
is to be spread around each young tree, giving
large, well grown trees more. The manure is
applied at any season. Do not pile around the
trees any litter or rubbish that would harbor
mice. In summer keep the weeds from around
the trees Experience has taught me that this
fertilizer serves a very important purpose
not only in supplying the trees with suitable
food, but in mellowing the soil and helping
On such crops as l may choose to plant in nay
orchard. 1t is excellent fertilizer for any
CROP annual or perennial, and the ashes from
hard wood supply the trees with the element
they most need and the soil lacks-namely,
potash. 1t is pleasure to sec how young
orchard will thrive after an application of this
fertilizer. Sometimes burn logs to get ashes
for this purpose, and if have no chip-dirt, go
to dead oak or hickory, and scrape together
the fallen bits of bark and the rich earth around
the tree. 1t is good substitute for the chip
dirt It is obvious that this material is rich in
the elements of food of trees I believe in
keeping fruit trees well fed and that large
space around each tree should be given exclu-
sively to the tree from which to draw it's sup
plies. l never plant close to any trees prefer
ring to have them branch low, and to trim down
rather than up.
