instantly the curculios, if there be any,

necessary when the trees are quite

the insects and destroy them in the
easiest and quickest possible way.
Some go through their plum orchards
and only shake the trees, and so disturb
but do not destroy the pests. Still
others sprinkle their trees when Wei

so effectual as the jaring on to cloth

Early Potatoes.

Farmers may forward the seed for
their crops OF early potatoes and grain
several days. A method practiced by
many, and explained recently in dmer.
ican Agriculturist, is as follows: Cut
the tubers, sprinkle the cut surfaces
freely with gypsum Gland plaster) to
dry them and keep them from sticking
together. The pieces are then laid in
"flats" or other shallow boxes. They
are placed close together, skin sides up
and exposed to the sunlight in the
kitchen window. The eyes will form
strong sprouts which at the proper sea-
son may be planted. If the first shoots
that appear above ground are cut by
the frost, other shoots will appear from
the dormant buds, and the labor will
not be all lost. OF course this forward
ing process is advised for those only
who wish to be early with a part OF
their crop. and who can try part of
their early kinds to see if it will pay
A still further help is to nail two
boards together. after the manner of a
trough; place these by the side Of the
rows. and if a frost seems probable, or
even a cool night, it is but the work Of
minute to turn them over the rows;
indeed it would be we'll to cover the
rows every night until the potatoes out
grow their protection.

Points in Pruning.

P. NJ. Augur, Connecticut's state po-
mologist, sums up the points Of good
pruning as follows, in Popular Garden.
ing: To have an ideal tree, begin at
the outset to prune annually at least
A young tree ought to have only three
or four leading branches; prune all 9TH
ers out. SO as to keep very open tree
during the early years.
Varieties vary as to needed pruning,
thus the R. Greening needs differ.
ent plan from the Baldwin.or the Ben
Davis. The Northern Spy needs
spreading, the Greening need throwing
up. and all need keeping in evenly
balanced heads.
With pears, those varieties like the
Buffum and Sheldon need spreadinp,
and the Seckel always much thinning
out, but ueither the apple nor the pear
usually need shortening in unless one
sided in shape; never let branches
crowd, for sunlight and free circulation
Of air are indispensable for we'll devel-
oped fruit, and snperhuous branch is
needless drain upon the resources Of
tree. A good pruning knife and ar
|
iron mallet and thin bladed chisel are
excellent tools for pruning. When
trees are properly attended to no large
branches should need removal, but
when that is the case a good saw is re-
quired.

tinue to be organized against the peo-
pie. On the other hand, the masses
are seeking to combine against this
aggression. These are the two forces
now carrying on civil war in the
United States; war peculiar in its
nature, and one in many of its aspects
such as the world, heretofore, has not
seen. Obnoxious trustism, has usurp-
ed the place Of the once honorable
power that, holding funds of estates,
managed them for the benefit of minors,
widows and other persons not capable
of caring for their own. Trusts, syn
dicates, aggressive monopolies of all
kinds, have now brought contempt
upon the name.
In the published report of the in
augural address of the President of the
United States, the Executive is made
to say that these combinations must
not go too far. The people who are
suffering from these encroachments are
beginning to ask how much farther
they may 60 before being stamped upon
by the law-making power. In the
State of New York The courts have
pronounced the sugar trusts illegal.
The legislatures of some of the States
are considering antitrust bills.
In the Legislature of Illinois there
are two bills pending. The Merritt
bill seeks to prohibit unlawful combi-
nations of capital for the restriction of
trade, just as the conspiracy law pro.
hibits unlawful combinations of labor
to the same end. Thus, the antitrust
bill would supplement the other. The
bill has had rather smooth sailing in
the lower house, having passed to
third reading. 1t is thought by some
that it will strike snag in the Senate.
1t would be unwise that the bill be de-
feateG, unless one fully protecting the
people be passed in its stead. Farmers
are especially interested in fighting
aggressive monopolistic combinatins.
So far as the necessaries of life are
concerned, all the great masses of
workers should fight such combinations
to the bitter end. The people can
win against the trust and syndicate
iniquity, if they use the full power
they possess, Notwithstanding the po.
tent power of the masses of money
spent upon legislatures and Congress
by the corporations, to defeat the en-.
actment Of laws for the protection of
the people at large. The trusts and
their satellites, the lobbyists. are array.
ed on the one side; the masses, on the
other. This is the status Of the civil
war now progressing 10 this country.
1t has been said that in war the largest
purse wins. The syndicates are few,
but their purses are heavy and unscru-
pulouslJ used. The people are many

Chief Black Declines to Say
Whether He Will Resign or
Not.
AT the penultimate meeting of the
board, Chief Black presented a COM
munication, which was subsequently
withdrawn, in which was the following
paragraph:
''ln respectfully informing you that l
cannot reinstate Capt Kelliher, and
that if your honorable body still further
insists upon his reinstatement | must
herewith tender you my resignation, to
take effect at your first meeting after
the receipt of. this letter. | wish frankly
to state to you my position, and to do it
In spirit of honesty, without the least
ill-will and with the full understanding
that your authority is unquestioned.
and my action but an individual pro-
test against course which [ consider
to be dangerous to the best interests of
the department"
AT the conclusion of the meeting last
night a reporter for the GLOBE inquired
of Chief Black whether he intended to
stand by his original proposition and
resigns, or continue in his present posi-
ton. The chief was not inclined to be
communicative, and refused emphatic
ally to reply to the Interrogation or say
anything on the subject. Commissioner
Martin, however, said that the matter
had been compromised, and he consid-
cred the reinstatementof Kelliher and his
transfer to Merriam Park as satisfac-
tory solution of the problem with which
the board has wrestled. The other men,
bers OF the board decline to express an
opinion. Whether Chief Black will re-
sign or not only he and his staunch sup
porter, Commissioner Martin, know.

Rogers stood it for some time, suffering

child, but last Tuesday she determined
to leave her worthless husband and go
home. Rogers entered their room at
the Clifton hotel and found her packing
up. He asked what she was doing. and
on learning he tried to shoot her, but
his hand trembled SO that he could not
discharge his revolver. Mrs. Rogers
screamed. and the proprietor of the
hotel. night clerk and porter ran to her
assistance. Rogers was summarily
fired, and his wife and child left the
