How to Cultivate Fruit Trees.

1. Instead of 'trimming up" trees
according to the old fashion, to make
them long-leggcd and long armed,
trim them down, SO us to make them
even, snug and symmetrical.
:. Instead of manuring heavily in
small circle at the foot of the tree,
spread the manure, if needed ut all,
broadcast over the whole surface,
where the ends of the roots can get it.
3. Instead of spading Il small cir.
Gle about the stem. cultivate the whole
surface broad east.
4. Prefer Il well pulvcrizcd, clean
surface in an orchard, with Il moder.
atcly rich soil. to heavy manuring and
u surface covered with IL hard crust
and weeds and grass.
). Remember that il is better to set
out ten trees with all the necessary
care to make them live and flourish,
than to set out hundred trees and
have them ali die from carclcssncss.
6. Remember that tobacco is IL poi.
son, and will kill insects rapidly il

the province of Caceres, by one of his
comrades named Silra. The latter was
in due course tried and condemned to
death. but his execution did not satisfy
the vengeance of the victims family
There had been ill-feeling between the
two families for three years, but there
mad been no open quarrel until the muir
der of MCralis. Soon after the execu-
ton of the murderer, which took place
last month, the two families met on
their return from fair near the town
of Caceres. They had their mules and
cattle with them. There were about
fifty on each side, including women
and children. A regular pitched battle
ensued, revolvers, knives, and sticks
being freely used by the men. while
the women employed their nails with
considerable effect, and the children
threw stones ind scrminatelv. The
result of the struggle was that the
heads OF the two families were both
killed, two of the women, a / severa,
of the children. There were ten or
twelve wounded. and the bodies of the
dead were horribly mutlated. If the
mounted police had not interrupted the
fight. there would have been many more
lives lost Several of the mules were
killed, and the baggage of the two
famil es was strewn about in such dis
