Hints for the Autumn Work.

Country Gentleman.
The value Of much OF the work done In
the garden and orchard depends on its sea-
sonable performance, and We offer a few
memoranda for the benefit of those who
are apt to overlook useful or important
jobs in season:
Peach stocks which continue TO grow
freely may be budded as long as the bark
Deels freely for the insertion OF bus.
New strawberry beds must be kept en-
tireiy free from weeds, and manure finely
and evenly scattered between the plants
and rows unless ground is already rich
enough. Keep the runners continually cut.
Prune out all useless shoots in young
fruit trees, the growth OF which now be-
ing about completed no injurious check
will be given the trees. Orchards which
need more fertility may be now, and on
till winter, treated with an even top dress
ing of we'll broken manure. Young trees
may be now transplanted IL they have
ceased growing. See that they are pro-
vided with ample roots on each side. and
are so firmly set as not 10 need the i'm
perfect support Of stalking against winter
winds. This will be assisted by properly
heading them back. Before the advent OF
winter and snow do not omit the conical
mounds OF earth around the stems, where
mice are feared. Watch for the work OF
destructive insects.

TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED.

of the Wratten Family.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Ind, Sept. 26.-Two men
were arrested IN o swamp near Vincennes
to-day. suspected with having had a hand
In the massacre of the Wratten family.
There is said to be nothing to incrimInate
them beyond the fact that they were hid

received. and it Is impossible to say how
near the right men the detectives have ar
rived. Outside of these arrests there Is
nothing new In the case. and the feeling is
growing that the mnrderers will make good
their escape. Hardly any. ono believes that
tramps did the killing. 1t 10 asserted on
all sides that if the guilty be found II will
turn out TO be some one IN the Immediate
neighborhood of where toe family resided.

years." said a drummer.
Ten years Of that time / have travelled
