MANURING FRUIT TREES.

If the best quality of fruit Is 10 BIZ SC
cured, and it is only the best quality that
pays the best profit, it is very necessary
to keep the soil at least reasonably rich
While in many cases it may be sufficient
ly rich when the trees are first planted,
yet the growing of several crops while
the trees are making their growing, with
the growth of grass that usually follows
and the crops of fruit that have been
grown after the trees commenced bearing,
must, to a considerable extent, have de-
creased the available fertility.
It should be understood that the grow
ing of trees and maturing of good crop
of fruit draws nearly or quite as heavily
upon the available plant food in the soil
as that of any other crop, and it is,
therefore, just as necessary to apply man
ure to the orchard, if the fertility OF the
soil is to be maintained, as to the soil in
which the field crops are grown.
In nearly all cases the best way of ap-
plying manure is to have the ground well
Elowed and then scatter the manure
broadcast as evenly as possible; then
working into the soil with the harrow or
cultivator. But, with the orchard, rs
with the meadows, it is not always desir-
able or best to plow up; and then good
plan is to use only well-rotted manure,
and make it fine and scatter evenly over
the surface. Ashes are good fertilizer
to use in the orchard but the manure and
ashes should not be applied together, or
there will be more or less loss Of am
monia.
Whom fhn rnn1ify Of I,n g, -,
sufficient, considerable benefit NAV be
derived by scattering under the trees rs
far out as the leaves and branches extend.
1t is not good plan to pile it up around
the trunks of the trees.
Whatever material is used will be best
scattered broadcast over the soil, under
the trees first, and over the whole sur
face when the quantity of manure is suf
hcient. The roots extend out 4 conSd.
cradle distance, and the trees will be
able to derive a larger amount of benefit
if the manure is scattered broadcast.
With young trees the manure should not
be allowed to como in contact with the
roots.
In manuring trees when setting them
out, the manure should be worked into
the soil thoroughly before filling in
around the roots. One of the poorest plans
of applying manure to young trees is to
throw the manure iD the bottom of the
place prepared for the tree and then set
in the tree and ill in soil. So far as pos
BILE the manure should always be incor-
porated with the SOIL Western Ruyal.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR SOWING WHEAT
find, says writer in Farm, Stock and
Home, that after field has been well
plowed it has to be made solid again, by
lots Of narrowing and cultivating, before
wheat croF will grow to perfection.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
RANGE FOR TURKEYS.

Turkeys are the kind of fowl least
removed from the wild state, because not
long since domesticated by man. They
are natives of this continent, and as the
Indians did not try to tame them, their
domestication has lasted only 200 or 300
years. No kind of fowl bear confine-
ment so poorly. The young chicks are
tender, and do better while small under
"a domestic hen than under one of their
own rowing kind. But after they get to
be as large as quail, they need a wide
range, and viii live during the last half
OF summer snd early fall mainly on
grasshoppers aud other insects, which
they, better than any other fowl, know
how to catch.-American Cuhirator.

hotel, were watching hungry fellow
who sat near them.

After he had eaten the perch he or
dered broiled bass and, after devour-
ing it, said:
"Now just bring me along any other
fish that you happen to have handy"
"That fellow is extremely fond of
fish," said one of the men.
Not SO much that he is fond of them
as the feet that he hasn't had any for a
long time"
He could get them, am sure. The
markets are full Of them"
"Yes, but you see he has been beyond
the reach of the markets; he has just
returned from fishing expedition"

LABOR LEADERS WHO ADHoE LioUoRa


1t is hopeful sign of the times that the
leader of the late London Dock strike, John
Burns. declared in recent speech that ne
had never drunk Intoxicating liquor in his life,
und had never smoked" and that "he would
have nothing to do with a strike that would
minister to the vilest passions of men, or pan
der to their drunken habits by giving money
away that ought to go to build np the consti-
tuition of women and children" When the
great body of workingmen will join in a per-
petual strike" against the brewery, distil-
lery, and the saloon, under such leaders as
Mr.. Burns the greatest opprcssor OF labor
will be speedily overthrown.
1t is also significant and encouraging that
Mr.. Powderly, the official head OF knights OF
Labor on this side of the Atlantic, is out
spoken for the prohibition of the liquor traf-
fic, and that he gives his aid to Sunday clos
ing, where saloons exist. On n recent Sun
day afternoon in Chicago he addressed five
Thousand people in one of the large halls of
that city upon Sunday Closing of Saloons. ="

REFORM IN INDIA.

4 remarkable movement has taken place
among The caste of AhirS, an influential
brotherhood of Benares India. AS a result
Of the remarks of the Hop. w. S. Caine in
the British House of Commons last winter
on the liquor traffic, meeting of the Ahirs,
numbering 10000 was summoned, and the
question of abolishing the use of liquors from
their caste was discussed without cessation,
and with the greatest earneStness for six
consecutive hours The presiding officer was
II distinguished Brahmin, who had heard the
speech of Mr.. Game in tbs English Parlia-
rienr, and WAS SO arrr;soJ bSy the startling
.rrJIls'+h N ,.E.c S"ne.. ;eSSs.s
Guent orator, that he determined on the spot
to- bring the question before his own people
His powerful influence aud the strong feeling
OF the brotherhood succeeded in bringing
about the remarkable result of prohibiting
all liquor drinking in their caste regulations.
This is method purely Hindu and is their
regular court of justice from which there Is
no appeal. This astonishing movement
seems but to have begun in India, as already
the village CaStes of tailors, blacksmiths, pot
terS and oil sellers have promulgated the new
total abstinence law, until there are now be-
tween i0, 900 and so, 600 people subjected to
The ineHorable regulations of their respective
c;lsteS. The liquor sellers have appealed for
Il reduction of their license fees on the ground
that their business is ruined. Can we not
profit by the fervor and righteous convection
Of these idclaters?- Union Signal.

The Posts financial article says: The sud-

OF coming struggle for control at the next
election, when there is likely to be another en-
oeaVor to make revolution in the administra-
ton Of the property. The dissatisfaction of
some Of the largest stockholders Of the Rich
m0nd Terminal OOmpanyiS expressed to the
effect that the present administration has
failed to compel harmonious and at the same
time an economic management OF the
running arrangements between the three
great properties controlled by the Ter
m1pal Company viz: the Richmond and
Danville the East Tennessee and the Central
OF Georgia; that there is prevailing policy on
the part of the several companies to carry
ffeights over circuitOus routes in order to
make show of large gross earnings instead Of
Dy more direct routes that would be available

BY the Terminal Company rather than Of three
different systems.

third of the capital stock and, 1t is understood,
will endeavor to elect Mr.. Calvin s. Brioe to

stated that Mr.. George s. Scott has declined to
