In contrast with these was an orchard
of a few apple trees in an adjoining
State on place of a few acres, the own

the enriching material he had of any

was so rich and mellow that it could be

the raising and sale of fruit his chief

his annual entire crop tat time when
prices were higher than now for about
five thousand dollars. The rest of his
farm was tributary TO his orchards, and
all or nearly all the manure made on
the farm was given to his fruit trees.

weather grew so intensely cold that
the men were frozen to death in life
like posture at the wheel, or wber-

gained entrance to the hold the cargo
began to swell, and burst open the decks

against the hand-rails just as erect as
though in full vigor-they were frozen
as hard as iron. With all the crew that
still held fast to their lives Captain
Bennington put out in a small boat and
headed her back to Theodosia, distant
then some fifty miles. During the
early morning the men died of one by

Louis Del COmmun, of Chululu, Pueb-

said the Aztec Indians, of Mexico, are
afflicted with Messiah craze very sim
liar to that which is disturbing the In
dams in the Dakotas. All the Aztec
tribes scattered throughout Mexico are,
said Louis Del Commun, believers in tho
prophecy that a Messiah is soon to
appear to free them from their foreign
conquerors and restore to them their
domain and their pristine glory. At Cho-
lulu are the ruins of an old Aztec tenn
pie. This is the Mecca OF the believers
In the Messiah, and there are now en-
camped about it hundreds of Aztecs who
are engaged in performing all sorts of
mysterious religious rites. OF these
rites a human sacrifice was a part &C
companied with a flower dance. The
sacrifice has been done away and now
only the dance remains The Aztec
prophecy is very like that which is be-
Ieved in by the Siouxs. The Messiah
will cause the volcano Popocatepetl to
erupt and overflow the country with
lava, which will destroy all but the

ORCHARD MANAGEMENT.
Young Trees Need Both Manure anC
Mellow Cultivation.


A common mistake in years past,
which tho planters Of orchards fell into.
was in supposing that orchards did not
require as much care and enriching as
any other crop on tho farm. Many set
out young trees and gave them little
more attention. They enormously sup
posed that in time these trees would
bear abundantly Of dne fruit, and bring
them in plenty Of money. The trees
were expected to take full care of them
selves. The result was that some died
the first year, good many the second
and in few years but few remained.
A neighbor set out a hundred fine peach
trees. They were transplanted into a
clover meadow, and allowed such chance
as the place afforded them. In two
years only three remained Success,
