country trade has not yet come back to its

continue quite low. oats being especially scarce

gous troubles some orchardists claim that
this space is not sufficient. One of this
class expresses himself as follows in let
ter to the Ohio Farmer:
The standard thrifty sorts will do best
when planted fifty feet each way, and this
distance is being advocated by the best
posted horticulturists of the day; forty
five feet is much better than two rods, the
common way in Northern Ohio; 5Ox4O
does very well. wide row endways to the
sun. This vii! allow for any possible de-
inands of spraying when the trees are full
grown. Closer than this will not do. nor
is there any profit in crowding the land.
II the trees are wide apart cropping and
cultivating may be kept up much longer,
which. if properly done. is no doubt bene-
fetal to the orchard. When planted wide
peach trees may be planted between if it
Is desirable, and will be done bearing be-
fore they are in the way Of the apples if
the land can support them.
Apple trees may be planted thirty to
thirty-five feet each way, and as soon as
they begin to get harmed by crowding half
Of them may be removed by cutting out
every other row djagonally. See diagram.
The lower part of the diagram represents
half an orchard, comprising 100 trees. set
close. The upper part shows half of the
trees removed in rows diagonally, every
other row. Trees originally set thirty feet
apart will be forty-two feet when half of
them are taken out in this manner. Those
set two rods will be forty-six feet, and
when planted thirty-tive feet apart will be
forty-nine feet when thinned out this way.
which last is just the right distance for
large, strong, matured trees. 1t will be
readily noted how quick growing and early
matured kinds (which are generally
smaller when full grown) may be set in
the places which call for removal, getting
. few years of the best bearing portion Of
their existence, thus giving the slow grow
ing and late maturing sorts the floor when
they most need it. Peaches may be put in
the spot for removal if thought best.
There is very much to recommend this
plan, at least where it is desirable to have
oil the land occupied by trees and the
owner has the sand to use the AK when
the right time comes.
Set the trees all leaning toward the di-
rection from which prevailing wind blows.
A very little observation Of orchards which
have been planted some years will con-
vince any one Of the necessity of using this

There were late diners las. night and
the efforts OF the cook were wasted. When
they were pacfied all the guests wanted

crowded the windows Of tie Bush-street
side and even the bar, which is near the
burning buildings. was filled with ladies in
evening dress who seemed unaware OF
anything homogeneous in their situation.
There was large crowd on the roof of
the hotel buildings viewing the scene, but
as The fire died away they gradually di-
minished. leaving the hosemen to COM

The agents of the Commercial Fire Dis

so he summoned bis entire force, and in
side OF twenty-five minutes ninety. seven
merchants who do business in that block
received notice of the fire. In going along
Sutter street Thomas Lyons. an agent Of
the company. on his way to notify some of
the merchants, was thro wn from his buggy
while crossing Grant avenue, and he was
badly bruised. His place was supplied by
another agent. who carried the news to
those most interested.
There was no insurance on the Croker

building in which the fire started was dam.
aged TO the amount of $25.O COO and was
fully insured.
The daring of the fremen was displayed
in manner that brought forth the plau-
dts of tho throng Of people that gathered
around the burning structure. They
handled the hoses from the roofs of tall
structures on every side. The utility of
the tower. seldom used in this city, was
demonstrated. For two hours it poured
stream of water into the fourth story of
the flaming building, which. descending,
cooled the scorching floors aud walls of
the interior and enabled the patrol to
cover the goods in danger with tarpnuins.
While the flames were dying out the stream
from the tower began to waver, and

structure ard readiusted the mechanism.

was ensy. but it was not such an easy
matter to get a line OF hose to the roof OF
the Crocker building.
A linz was tied around the nozzle ana
four hnsemen on the roof commenced TO
haul the hose but when about thirty feet
from the ground the line broke. A second
attempt was made with n similar result,
but the third was successful. and In few
seconds steady stream OF water was
being pumped through the hose to the
roof and doing effective service.
Bush street was a sight. 1t was honey
combsd with lines Of hose, and terrific
and perpetual downpour of water made it
almost impossible to pass across the street.
Those who were compelled to be within
the lines were drenched TO the skin, and
the firemen looked like drowned rats.

heart Of the beholder.
The first alarm was turned in by Officer
Charles FarsOn. he observed some thick
black smoke issuing from the windows Of
the fourth floor. and at once rushed over
TO the auxiliary alarm box. at the corner
