Our supreme court decided that the
alien land law was unconstitutional.
So did the courts in respect to SINH
lar law in Iowa. Besides being I'M
constitutional it is class legislation of
the worst type. 1t is a law protecting
the monied class at the expense Of
borrowers.

1t is good time to apply manure to
the orchard during the winter. 1t
before spring, to the point where the
roots can reach it, and as the trees
have formed their fruit buds the ma
nure will go to increase the size of the
fruit and to promote new growth of
wood. But do not manure the young

of wood is not desirable.

The farmer can safely leave to the
professional swine breeders the work
of breeding for fancy points. What
the farmer wants is to have hogs eat
his corn that will take on fat readily
and mature sufficiently by the time
they are twelve months old.

FRUIT PROSPECTS.
The outlook for fruit has not been
50 favorable for many years. The
failures of the past two years have
given trees rest and the past season
has been favorable for the develop
ment of fruit buds and cool enough to
prevent early blossomiDg, The only
obstacle in the way of Texas becom-
ing the leading fruit growing state, is
the early blooming of our trees, and
occasional late frosts. Mild, growing
weather in January and February,
causes a premature swelling of buds
which are fatally affected by very
slight visitation of frost, which
may come along about the
end of the latter month.
But when the season has been cold
enough to keep back vegetation and
swelling of buds till "the ides of
March, we generally have full crop.
unless trees make an unusual display
of life during next week, we may look
forward to bountiful harvest.
Where pruning has been neglected it
should now be attended to, as delay
till growth has fairly started, means
loss in the coming crop.
ROOT PRUNING.
There are many plans for increasing
the fruitfulness Of trees, such as dwarf

How the Japa. ese PuIl Teeth.

"The japanese use no instruments for
extracting teeth, but lift them out with
the thumb and forefnger," said Henry
Baker to guest Of the Southern, who
was wearing his jaw in a sling as the
result of a pair of forceps slipping and
getting more than they were sent for.
"While jolly Dick Hubbard was Minis
ter to Japan / visited that country and
spent pleasant week with him. One
day I was troubled with. the toothache,
and Mr.. Hubbard took me to the dentist
and explained to the saddle-colored
operator that wanted the grinder ex-
tracted. I was placed in q bamboo
chair and tilted slightly back. The
dentist examined my teeth, talking volu.
bly, meantime to Uncle Sans represen.
tative. Suddenly his thumb and fore
finger closed on the troublesome tooth,
and before had the slightest idea Of
what was going to happen, he lifted it
out and held it up before me, smiling at
the same time that vacant smile peculiar
to the children of the Orient. you
we're waiting for the forceps, were youf"
said Minister Hubbard, with laugh.
They don't use 'em here. Look at
this. Here is young Jap taking hia
first lesson in dentistry A twelve.
year-old japanese boy sat on the floor,
having before him board in which
were a number Of holes into which pegs
had been tightly driven. He was at
tempting to extract the pegs with his
thumb and foretinger. Mr.. Hubbard
explained that as the strength of this
natural pair of forceps developed by
practice the pegs would be driven in
tighter. After couple OF years at peg
pulling the young dentist would gradu-
ate and be able to lift the most refrac-
tory molar in the same manner that he
now lifted wooden pegs."-St. Louie

WORLDS FAIR COIN.
The Work of Striking Them or Be-
gun ut the Mint.

In the coming room OF the United States
Mint, Coiner W. s. Steele few mornings
ago struck of, by hand, the first Of the new
Columbian half dollars, the Worlds Fair
souvenirs. About two hours later the dies
had been placed in position, and in the ma
chine three hundred and ninety-nine milled
pieces of silver were put in the receptacle.
and at the end Of five minutes they had all
been coined
AS soon as the first coin was struck off
Superintendent Bosbychall wrapped it in
tissue paper, and. enclosing it in
small blue envelope, marked it "First
Columbian halr-ioltar" Then waited
patiently until the 4oOSh had passed
between the dies and that one,
TOO. was laid away with an appropriate
marking. Only one visitor besides the heads
of the departments Of tue Mint and few
newspaper men saw the machine at work.
He was Joseph W. Ellsworth, Director of
the Worlds Fair and Chairman of the Com
mlttee on Liberal Arts.
This is an accurate description OF the new
piecs: On the diverse side, around the ring
Of the COIN, just inside the reading, are the
words Omitted States Of America, Columbian
Half Dollar" with the head Of Columbus in
the centre. On the reverse side, around
the rim, are these words: wv World's Columbian
Exposition, Chicago" just above the
cenrre is representation Of Co.umbus's
caravel, Pinta, anu another design showing
the eastern and western hemispheres. To the
left Of the western hemisphere are the tig-
ures IA, to the right Of the eastern one the
figures o., and un ierneath is the date 1872.
Director Ellsworth says that the Worlds
Fair Commission is waiting anxiously for
these coins to be distributed. I'VE have had
so many applications from banks and indi-
yidua,s for Them" he SAID, s'that think we
could dispose of more tnan we will have.
The whole number will be sent to Chicago
and distributed from that city"

Age Of Orange Trees.

An exchange remarks that t iere has
been much discussion among American
hoticulturists the past few years con-.
cerning the extreme age that orange
trees will bear well and produce good
fruit. Some maintain that an orange
tree, no matter how much care i put
upon It, will slowly wither and die sitter
it has reached half century OF growth.
Others have argued that about seventy
five years Is the limit Of usefulness OF
well.cared. for orange tree. 44 Is 4
Several American horticulturers who.
have been travelling along the Mediter-
ranean Sea have recently found trees
over 12O years old that are still <produc-
ing fruit of excellent quality. On the
island of Elba, where Napolean was
banished, there is an orange grove of
over 700 st. Michael orange trees that.
were planted by an Italian in 17S1, and
IL produced last year over 1900 boxes Of
fruit, but it produced four times thai
quantity twenty-five years ago. There
are several small orange orchards in
Southern Italy that are over eighty years:
old and are still productive Of large
quantities of fruit. 80
On the island OF Malta, James Pell-
man. the famous American horticultur-5
ist, found one orange tree that there can
be no doubt is 142 years old, and that
yielded several boxes Of fruit last year.
1t is even alleged that in the Azores
there are orange and lemon trees over
200 years cid that still bear fruit, but
