PROTECTION FOR TREES.
A Handy Continuance Sketched for the
Benefit of Fruit-Growers.

A Handy Continuance Sketohed for the
Benefit of Fruit-Growers.
The term "sun scald' is applied to the
wounds found on trees on their south or
southwest sides. This seems to be q
more common source of injury to fruit
and forest trees in the Western and
Northern States than in the East or
South. Such wounds commence by the
discoloration of the bark at some part
exposed to the suns rays, and ends in
the dying and falling off of the bark. |
have seen scarlet oaks, whose butts were
exposed to tbs sun, that had the bark
coming off for as much as twenty feet,
or even more on their southwest side.
Very many apple trees are thus injured,
What the cause is has often been disput-
ed, but it is probable that it results
from the action of the sap on the south
side beiug suddenly checked after a
time of warm weather, during which it
had become very active where the di-
rect sun rays warmed the trunk.
There are several methods now in use,
and of value to prevent or reduce loss
from this cause. First, inclining the
body and top of the tree to the south
west at an angle of about 60 degrees
with the horizon. BY this means the

ROYALTY AROUSED.
The Tempestuous Temper of the King OF
the Netherlands.

the Netherlands.
King William III. of the Netherlands,
who died u few days ago, was, in his
best days, a man of frightful temper.
The person who excited him above all
others was the lank, phlegmatic Thor
becl1e, who left the desk of Utrecht
professorship to become Minister of
State. The King expressed his con-
tempt for Thorbecke by always address
ing him as "Sir Professor, In 1870,
while William was drifting swiftly to-
ward an alliance with France, in order
that he might avenge the wrongs all
Dutchmen feel they have sustained at
German hands, the professor" was Sc
lected to convince the King that his
people would not support him in such a
course. Thorbecle entered the Kings
bedchamber with his hands behind him
on the morning of the day of the de-
cision.
Good morning, Sir Professor. What
is the news?" asked the King.
Nothing special, sire; only the peo-
pie of The Hague are talking good
deal of nonsense" said Thorbecke,
with diplomatic deliberateness.
"Humph Concerning my MinistersP'
mo, SIRE" droned on Thorbecke,
concerning you"
Concerning me?" shouted the King,
''and what, o honored professor, con,
corning me?"
"Sire, hardly wish to repeat it, L
Enough. j wish to hear it."
"Well, sire, the people of The Hague
say you are as crazy as a loom"
Biff? Like shot the short, heavy
body of the King bounced from the bed
to the floor. Purple and speechless, he
caught up great silver inkstand to
throw it at Thorbecl1e. His hand be-
came entangled for moment in the
bed curtains. Thorbecke strobe up tc
him, thrust down his keen white face
to the level of the Kings eyes, and sale
in tone of icy Indifference:
"And if you strike me with the ink
stand the people of The Hague will be
be right"
The King dropped the inkstand in tho
curtain that had caught it and gloweret
at the professor, who FASTENED to pile
reasons on reasons why the Neither
lands should remain neutral during thu
Franco-German war. A few hours
later, in the presence of all his Minis
ters, William III. tore into bits anC

which he had all but forced ON his un

proved by the sale of property; and we do not
go too far in saying that to-day landed proper.
ty is almost unsaleable. The reason Of this
state of affairs must of course principally be at
tributed to the decline in prices of sugar, our
only industry, owing to the increased competi-
ton. in which it is almost impossible for our
little and isolated Island to hold its own against
opponents, possessed of vast capital, skill
full scientists, large facilities for improve
ments both in agricultural and manufacturing
pursuits, and for placing their produce in mar
kets in their close proximity
In the face of this, and with the fact before
us, that a great many Estates are encountered
and in consequence not in a position even of
clearing their expenses, and with the lack of
capital in the Island, the Council feels con.
WINGED that any new or increased taxation will
be tantamount to utter ruin.
With regard next to the question of deriving
an increased revenue from the establishment
of an improved and extended cultivation. the
Council has no hope whatever under the
present circumstances or in the near future of
thereby increasing the revenue of the Island,
as the want of capital necessary for effecting
any improvement in this respect, renders it
impossible.
In consequence Of the above considerations,
the Council has been lead to the conviction
that the Deficit on the Budget can only be re-
duced by efecting retrenchments in our admin
i%stration, and with this view the Council has
carefully and assiduously examined what ex-
penses could be entirely dispensed with, and
which could be cu%rtailed, always keeping in
view the necessity of retaining an administra-
ton which in every respect must be considered
efficient for the maintenance of public peace,
good order, and full protection for life and
property and have now hereby the honour to
submit proposals for such retrenchments as in
the opinion of the Council might be effected
without detriment to any effective and strong
administration

B. 1. Superior Administration.

Considering the depressed state Of the Island
and the salaries p aid in other West India Islands
of a similar size and population as St. Croix
and st. Thomas together, the Council consi-
ders that a salary Of Sc 5000 would be a fair
salary for the Governor, and III consequence
would advise that it be proposed in future APP
polntment to reduce the salary in conformity
herewith, whereby a saving on this item Of
$3.50 for St. Croix would be effected.
Furthermore the Council considers that an
amount of 81, 900 from St. Croix would be
more than adequate for the representation in
this Island and would recommend this amount
as table money from st. Croix on the appoint
ment of future Governors, thus effecting a
saving for St. Croix Of $3.50 on this item.
The salary to the Governments Secretary
the Council considers far too high. as compared
with other officials holding offices here and
whose responsibility the Council cannot deem
less than the Secretary's, as all important
matters are referred to the Governors. with
whom when residing in st. Thomas. communi-
cation is quick and easy, owing to the tele
sraph between the Islands. In consequence
hereof the Council considers that the salary
for the Government Secretary could be re-
duced to q, 400, thus saving $500.
Regarding the Clerks under the Government
CHO NOuhNl1 10 VI II OpIuIOH ludl Int uuUlCS III
the Government Office, which are considerably
less than formerly, could be performed in a
perfectly satisfactory manner with one Clerk,
which is substantiated by the fact that in
general but one clerk actually performs the
said duties, while the other acts as substitute
for absent officials, and the Council cannot
consider 1t necessary to employ a clerk at so
great an outlay. only to fill temporary vacan-
.cles and must express as its opinion that the
head clerks IN the different branches Of the
Administration should in such cases act in
behalf of their respective chief, inasmucb as
the salaries allowed said Clerks are ample and
for which competent and reliable persons could
be obtained, and should it at any time happen
that such head clerk from any cause be pre-
vented from acting, one of the LAWYERS could
be appointed temporarily during the absence
or illness of an official, as has been done on
former occasions, which the Council considers
would be far more suitable in the case. for in
stance, of the Judge, Policemaster etc.. as the
practicing lawyers have decidedly more ex-
perience and actual kno wledge as to the re-.

D. s. The Post Department.
Whereas the Council has proposed the
abolition Of the one Office of Inspector Of Gus
toms, it will be necessary to make arrange.
ments for conducting the Post Department,
which the one Inspector could not be expected
to supervise. and it is therefore recommended
that the Brokers in the two towns be CHARGED
with the duties of postmaster in the respective
towns, as a compensation for which it is pro-
posed to allow them each a salary Of $500 ,. a.
wherein is included clerk hire this is consid-
cred a sufficient remuneration when also the
increased income derived from the compulsory
use OF the brokers is taken into consideration.
OF course they will have to furnish the reoui-
site security as now done by the Inspectors.
