Starving Fruit Trees.

II any person were to chain an
animal TO stake in the field and
leave 1t to shin for itself, then 70
watch this animal until it gets thin
and decreplt from loss of fesh and
strength, It is quite probable that
the humane society would be after
him with properly deserved punish
ment Yet this n precisely what
thousands Of farmers are doing with
their fruit orchards, OF course barring
the difference between the insensate
tree and the living animal. Like
the latter the tree Is chained to one
locality, can not go abroad for food,
hut fortunately 1t has no sense OF
suffering, at least none that We can
appreciate. And yet even or tnse
there must be something akin 10
pain In the process Of slow starva-
tion-the seeking by exhausted
rOotlets Of food that cannot he found.
IL takes an enormous amount Of
various manures 10 form fruit and
SEEDS. The leafy part Of the trees
may mostly come from carbonlc
acid gas Of the atmosphere, but the
stone fruit needs great deal Of
potash. Grapes, pears and prunes
requirs considerable amount Of
phosphate in addition. There Is
perhaps no place on the Garm whera
good dressing Of manure will DO
GREATER good than In an old apple

A Shocking Exhibition.

The excessive bad taste displayed
by Mrs. Mary Bell, says the Press,
In her parody of the last rites usu-
ally reserved for the dead should be
universally condemned. Old age
and overfeeding took of lap dog
that for sixteen years had been pet
of the lady in question. 1t was
natural enough that such loss
should be mourned, and resting
place in green and quiet spot
thought desirable for "Cozy's" bones.

woman of mature age and sense

Of a boarding house to take $500 OF
