FARM NOTES.
IN TIE GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

IN TIE GARDEN AND ORCHARD.
Finish up the pruning.
Set out the trees whenever tile soil
will permit.
Make the early garden when the soil
can be worked in q good filth.
Try some celery, kohlrabi satisfy and
cauliflowcr.
Two or three weeks after grating the
string should be taken off.
Use strips of zinc with the name writ.
ten in with a lead pencil for labels.
Apply wood ashes on the surface and
work into the soil with a sharp rake.
Hood crops arc really the best that can
be grown in a young orchard.
The advantage in using clover to seed
down the orchard is that 1t shade the
,oil and aids nitrification.
If a young orchard is set out make d
pi"N Sho"ihS ShNu NaliCly GU that IL luC
label gets lost the name can still be
found.
Peaches should not be pruned until
after freezing weather is past, and then
from one-lhird to onc-half the new
| growth of wood should be taken off.
The ounce needs a good rich soil and
severe pruning each year. In many To-
~calities this will be found a profitable
fruit to grow.
Blight and sunsca'd can often be
averted by giving shallow, but thorough
cultivation especially carly in the grow
ing season.
The mulch on small fruit plants should
not be disturbed until after the plants
have matured their fruit. II weeds COM
up they can be pulled up.
A good dressing of wood ashes scat
tered under the pear trees and worked
well into the soil will he Of considerable
benefit especially If the tree Is not MAKE
ing a thrifty growth,

Regarding the bond of State Treas
urer holland the Globe Democrat
says editorially:
"Noland's bond represents $780,
600 on its face. 1t Is not, however, a
legal bond. The law requires that
bondsmen shall qualify only on tn,
amount of real estate which they
own. 1t is doubtful if there is $780,
900 worth of real estate in the whole
amount of Mr.. Noland'S security"

the time for his arrival | was near the
gates when the carriage drove up, and
quickly followed it. Fortunately for
me. such as were at work on the grounds
were in front and not in the rear.
.Oh, do skip the details, for heavens
sake" cried Holbrook.
.sYou seem to be nervous this morn
ing" reioined Tom, who, between de-
sire to tease Holbrook and an intense
relish in his own tale, was indulging his
vein of graphic recital. "Well, ! saw
the Ashgrove girl waiting for him, say
her greet him, and then sit down and
wait for him while he entered the house.
Shortly he came out again, and had On
opportunity to get close up to the veran-
da out of sight, on the pretext OF trim
ming some vines. Then there began the
most extraordinary conversation.
Tom here detailed that scene upon the
veranda, of which the reader is fully in
informed. During its recital Tom was
not interrupted; Holbrook was too anx-
ious and interested to lose a word.
When he had finished Holbrook said:
THAT settles it. Fountain is the man.
81 think there is no doubt of it, re-
piled Tom.
'sNone in the least. What power Ct
self possessionI Of course he realized
thoroughly what she was driving at.
"Of course" said Tom, "but he is sure
Of her love, and does not propose to ad-
nit it even to her.
1T is only such a firm, determined,
cold blooded kind of a person who could
commit so deliberate and cold blooded q
murder"
True, but l think his exhibition of
ttrmness and self possession at the club
was even greater than on the veranda.
How"
"Why, on the veranda he was sure of
the girl, he could depend on her love for
him; but in the club an intimation that
he was the murderer, backed by proof or
strong suspicion, would have made each
man there an enemy
True" commented Holbrook. But
Flora! How that girl does love! 1t is a
wild, unreasening, an alb pervading love
"a love sacrificing every thing. l could
not have believed it Of her"
Come, tell me, said Tom, ''of your
doings since I've been gone"

a Crank's Wisdom.

Milton Allen considers himself COM
missioned to found new religion. 1t
does not seem to have occurred to him
that, as Brillat-Savarin said we have al
ready in America a hundred religions
and only one gravy. At any rate Milton
has been reading Revelations till he sees
in the New Jerusalem of st. John the
United States of America and no place
else.
Some of his notions have solemn
good sense in them that is refreshing.
For instance he says:
In my new cosmogoay 1 insist upon the sstab-
lshrent If industrial schools in place Of the col
leges which grind out mental dyspeptics. Ewould
likewise teach the convict a trade and change his
cell into a.decent living room
Then again he is way off, even for a
crank. He tells us:
The heavenly Jerusalem, which John describes
in Revelations was nearly square in shape and
measured 1900 furlongs both in length and
breadth. Much cattle and horses should abide
therein, silver and gold Should be plentiful and ell
nations shall enter in and walk in the institutions
thereof.
God rolled back the miSts enveloping future
centuries and permitted John to gaze the
UnitedStates of America
So oar country corresponds in shape, size
and iI.all other respects withthe prophecies con.
corning the New jerusalem
Milton Allen, go to! If an attempt
were made to start the New Jerusa-
lem in this country a company of
spectators would speedily get hold of
the twelve sacred entrances, and form
a trust in pearly gates and freeze out St.
Peter himself if he didn't join the COM
pany. What sort of a figure would our
successful business men cut in New
Jerusalem full of angels, Milton?
