Fertilizing Fruit Trees.

Fertilizing Fruit Trees.
In relation to appropriate fertilizersfor
fruit trees diversity OF opinion prevails.
All agree that certain substances exist in
plants and trees, and that these must be
contained in the soil to produce growth,
elaboration, and perfection. To supply
these, some advocate the use of what are
termed Special manures,' others idicule
the idea. would suggest whether this is
not a difference in language, rather than in
principle; for in special fertilizers, first
make simply those which hcorrespond with
the constituents of the crops; but are not
the second careful to select and apply
manures which contain those elements?
and do they not, in practice, affix these
of their appropriation to the theory
which they oppose? Explode this doc
trine, and do you not destroy the princi-
pie fmanuring and the necessity ofa arota
ton of crops? Trees exhaust the soil of
certain ingredients, and, like animals,
must have their appropriate food. All
know how difficult it is to make a fruit
tree flourish on the spot from which
an old tree of the same species has been
removed.
The great practical question now agi-
tating the community is, How shall we
ascertain what fertilizing elements are
appropriate to particular species Of
vegetation? To this two replies are rem
dered. Some say, analyze the. crop;
Others, the soil Each, think, main
tains truth; and both together, nearly
the whole truth. We need the analysis
of the crop to teach us it's ingredients,
and that of the soil to ascertain
whe ther it contains those ingredients; :;
and if it does not, what fertilizers must
be applied to supply them. Thus, by
analysis, we learn that nearly quarter
part of the constituents of the pear, the
grape, and the strawberry consists OF
potash. This abounds in new soils, and
peculiarly adapts them to theproduction
of these fruits but having been extracted
from soils long under cultivation, it is
supplied by wood ashes or potash, the
value of which has of late greatly in
creased in the estimation of cultivatOrs
Among the arts of ofmodern cultivation,
universal experience attests to the great
advantage of ''mulching' the soil around
fruit trees, as means of fertilizing and
of preservation from drouth and heat, SO
common with us in midsummer. Inillus-
tration of this, experiment has proved
that on dry soils, where the earth has
been strewn with straw, the crops have
been as large without manure as with it,,
where evaporations has disengaged the
fertilizing elements of the soil.

Oranges for Health.

And while the orange was so highly
esteemed by the ancients for it's medicinal
qualities, it is surprising how little atten-
ton the present generation gives to the
many virtues enclosed in this little ball OF
fruit A prominent physician once re-
marked that were his patients to eat an
orange or two every morning they would
require but little medical attention; for
throughout theentire range of fruits that
have attracted the attention Of the medi-
cal profession as means of alleviating
many of the ills of mankind, there has
been found none that has so many diver
sified uses as the luscious orange, particu
larly in cases of low fevers and malarial
complaints, and it should more largely
take the place of unpleasant drugs so ex-
tensiveIy used, to thegreat disgust OF the
patient. No fruit compares in heapness
with the beautiful and luscious orange,
and particularly so now that our own
country is raising the finest oranges in
the world, the fruit selling at price

''One day upon their return from drive, Mrs.
Cleveland took the invalid hand in hers and, with
a charming blush, begged as a great favor that she
might be permitted to send to the little girls of the
parsonage large box of ribbons with which to tie
their hair These ribbons, she explained, had been
sent her from time to time on bouquets baskets of
flowers, and boxes of bon-bons. 1t was only
little thing, simple courtesy, which any woman
might have extended to another, yet how few in
fashionable life, fattered and courted as Mrs.

graciously carried it into effect that the recipient
was made to feel that she had been the one to be-

There are nobler things in this world than name;

We live and we die for the right

being proud of womanhood and feeling inspired to

The Kind of Wife You Want.

'You say you demand domestic, useful woman
as your wife. If that is so, marry Nora Mulligan,
your laundress' daughter. She wears cowhde
shoes, is gutless of corsets, never had sick day
in her life takes in washing, goes out house-clean-
ing and cooks for family of seven children, her
mother and three section men who board with her.
| don't think she would marry you, because Con
Reagan, the track-walker, is her style of man. Let
us examine into your qualifications as model hus-
band after your own matrimonial ideas, my boy.
Can you shoulder barrel of flour and carry it
down cellar? Can you saw and split ten cords of
hickory wood in the fall so as to have ready fuel
all winter? Can you spade up half acre of ground
for kitchen garden? Do you know what will take
the lime taste out of the cistern and can you patch
the little leak in the kitchen roof? Can yeu bring
home pane of glass and wad of putty and re-
pair damages in the sitting room window! Can you
hang some cheap paper on the kitchen? Can you
fix the front gate so it will not swag? Can you do
any thing about the house that Con Reagan can?
My dear, dear boy you see Nora Mulligan wants
higher type of true manhood. You expect to hile
men to do all the mans work about the house, but
you want your wife to do any thing any woman
can do. Believe me, my son, that nine-tenths of
the girls who play the piano and sing so charming
ly whom you in your limited knowledge set down
as mere butterflies of fashion, are better fitted fer
wives than you are for husband. If you want to
marry first-class cook and experienced house
keeper, do your counting in the intelligence office.
But if you want wife, marry the girl you love,
with dmpled hands and face like the sunlight,
and her love will teach her all these things, my
boy long before you have learned one-half of your
own lesson.-[Bob Burdette in Burlington Hawk

The woman of society ON whom societys de-
mands are so exacting that she has no time to
spend with her Children but must delegate the
cares of the home TO hired housekeeper, misses
the keenest pleasures of motherhood and woman
hood. The tortures of ennui from which the
wealthy and frivolous woman of the world so often
suffers are unknown to the busy housewife. The
little everyday sacrifices which the woman in
commonplace position must make render the object
of them douby valuable when it is obtained.
Every hour of the busy woman's day is filled in
with little domestic cares each one of which brings
its own blessings and it is the finding out and
recognition Of these blessings of every day life
that brings the sincerest happiness the world
affords Little children should be taught above
all things to enjoy the pleasures that lie around
them rather than reach toward those which are be-
You'd them. 1t is fault of the country forever to
neglect the present possibilities of happiness, and
to consider any object valueess as soon as it is OBJ
tanned. A restless, nervous life is the result of
such unhealthy aspirations The full fruition of
work is lost, and the pleasure derived from the at
tainment of any goal is but shadow. From one
step to another the worker rushes on till he reaches
the summit to find too late that the true happiness
he seeks is left behind him. Ex.

TAXING ONE s SELF FOR PUBLIC
GOOD

During the tariff agitation prior to the recent
election, Henry George said: ''If tariff be-
tween nations is logically sound, then the same
logic to be consistent would require one between
states and between towns This is true But
it is no argument against the system OF protec-
ton, though Mr.. George intended it as such A
tariff is a tax which the public spirited people of
a nation impose upon themselves for the sake OF
promoting internal development and growth
People of towns and cities also tax themselves to
promote the growth of their own commonwealth
or municipalities though in a different way.
The principle is the same, though methods
may differ. When Massachusetts sank
millions of dollars boring the Hoosac
mountain, it was tax to help
herself, just protective tariff is tax to help
the nation. When town votes to exempt from
taxation any manufacturer who viii settle in it's
limits the principle is the same. Many public
spirited people pay the small storekeepers in
their towns and villages more than they would
have to pay for the same articles in the city for
the sake of encouraging the village store This
is another application OF the same principle We

GEN LEWIS, the newly appointed post
master of Atlanta, very deliberately
spread down bed of thorns for himself
to lie upon. When it came to making
appointments one of the first offices to fill
was that of registry clerk. white man
and negro, holding civil service COM
missions, were the applicants. The white
man had made an average of 8715 upon
examination, the negro of So. The negro
was appointed. A young white lady was
employed in the same department, tie
two doing business at the same window.
She resigned. The people of Atlanta are
very hot over the matter, and two of the
postmaster s bondsmen have withdrawn
from his bond. He is being berated and
mathematical on all sides, and is
probably the sickest man in town. The
people say he could easily have put the
negro in another place, where he would
not be offensive, and that his obstinacy
in keeping him there indicates desire to
force the issue. They accept it and will
make things very interesting for him.
