About microbes that swim In the water
And ny on wings through the air.

TILE IN THE ORCHARD.
tFor THE JouREAL, by r. J. Beatty.)

(For THE JOURNAL, by r. J. Beattyl
The present kind of weather will eel
few orchardlsts to thinking OF thing
out their orchards and now Ia about the
time TO begin the work so as to get to
ditchiDg the latter part Of the month
and In May. There are very few To-
cations probably not over per cent. J
that can be found In this valley that
would not be benefited TO the extent
of at least twice the cost oftile drain
age. There Ia one infallible test for as
certaining whether any certain piece OF
ground needs drainage. That 10 to dig
holes In the places to be tested, to the
depth OF 40 Inches, and II at any time
during the year, water stands In that
hole more than 80 hours at one
time, that land needs drainage, II
an orchard is TO be raised on 1t. And
II the time ever, comes when fruit is
drug on the market and low prices pre-
vail, then the man that can raise the
most fruit every year for the, least ex-
pense is the one that will survive.
There IL unanimous testimony, Of all
who have tried the tile, that 1t improves
the health OF the fruit trees and there
fore Of course the producliveness and
longevity.
There Is one point that very few
think Of, In favor of thorough drainage
and that is this: Every one who has
examined into the matter knows that
no roots Of fruit trees 60 below n point
In the soil where water usually stands
part or all Of the growing season.
Now II this Is l2 inches, and the
water is lowered to. ~ inches perma-
nently, II IL equivalent to quadrupling
the feeding place, or to put It In an-
other form. suppose your original or.
chard was set out 40x40 feet, then after
II Is tiled you can get out enough TO
make them stand 20x20 feet or times
AN many trees and still have the same
amount Of feeding ground for each
tree. Practically / doubt there being
as much difference Of value OF soil, but
! am satisfied that II will double the
value Tor more) for orchard purposes.
Another advantage IL In the well
known fact that when trees are kept la
healthy condition the fruit is 30 much
better and the insect enemies do not at
tack them ~ fiercely,o ,or not OF ali (there
are some exoeptions) aud this alone
might easily make the difference Of
COS, In few years.
One more thought on this, when
land is thoroughly cultivated and kept
loose As II ahould be In AN orchard, there
Is bound 10 be great deal OF washing
of of the iinest aud beat soil after
heavy rsins, but II Tiled tho water goes
straight down IN In sand and even In
the hardest dashing rains does not dow
at all on the surface.
To the msn who wishes TO use man.
uies this 10 point well worth looking
after, as there Is never any loss Of fer

Gladstone's Greatest Speech.


Friends and foes alike are marvelling
over the magnificent speech with which
Mr.. Gladstone brought the debate on the
second reading Of the home rule bill to
close. and over the matchless eloquence of
its delivery. 1t was a far finer effort than
the speech with which he introduced the
bill few weeks ago. 1t is, indeed, pro-
nounced by competent opinion to be the
greatest utterance of Mr.. Gladstone's lite
both in matter and in manner. The mo-
men, he took the floor the great and grand
old man seemed TO feel that the climax of
his life had come. His years dropped
from him like a cloak. His voice was like
a deep-toned bell, clear and clarion.
Not for moment did it fail him
during the hour that he held the
house under the absolute spell of his elo-
quence. Not single oratorical arrow " as
aDsen; from his culver, and he used them
all. Wit, satire. invective. logic, pleading,
scorn and denunciation followed each
other in overwhelming succession. Mr..
cent and terrible. Last night he was VEN
geance incarnate. Words that were blows
fell upon his enemies with q fury that
made the great gladiator seem something
more than a human antagonist. AT the
same time IL was a scene and speech
which make it more evident than any pre-
vious event in his career that Mr.. Glad
stone at the present moment embodies
greater power in personal leadership than
any man of his time.

No Real Rejoicing In Italy.


A Sun reporter writes from Rome that
the fiction of the entire nation rejoicing
over the silver wedding of its monarch
car only deceive outsiders. The grum-
bling In Italy is prodigious at the waste of
money over the court festivities while
trade is bad, commerce languishing, and
the national exchequer in desperate straits
with debt of Is, 000. 900 of lire, budget Of
l.6O0 oO0, GOO, and q huge permanent deficit.
The extreme radical newspapers vary their
outbursts OF indignation at the extrava-
CANT spending in Rome by making merry
over the collapse of the ''national' move
ment for presenting the royal couple with
silver wedding gift. 1t is recorded, for
instance, that the subscription opened at
the chief railway postofhce at Genoa re-
allied only francs Is centimes. The chief
of the department had given the francs,
and the 25 confines represented the
aggregate contributions of 100 subordinate
officers. Meanwhile the parliamentary
commission of inquiry into the alleged
financial scandals is making laborious
pretense of collecting information. No
body believes that the commissioners are
grows that the truth will never be made
known. The newspaper Italia del Popolo,
however, declares that it has q full list of
deputies, politicians and other prominent
men who accepted payments from the
Banca Romano for political services. The
list includes the names of two senators,
fourteen deputies, one general, an ex-min-
listers mother, q high officer at the min
istry of finance and many. journalists, and
"a ,O69 lire. The editor solemnly prom

BACHELORS STILL PLENTY.
There Are Over Three Million Of Them

Boston Globe.
According to the last census reports
there are over 5000, 600 bachelors in the
there are 5000, 900 men over 80 years old
who have never been married.
This fact, Of course, furnishes . very
handy text for all sorts Of comment and
suggestion. Now and then the scheme is
advocated Of making neglect Of matri-
mony statutory offense, either by way of
tax discrimination in favor OF married
parties or otherwise.
In earlier times marriage was compul.
sorry. The great world conquerors wanted
material for their armies, and so heavy
penalties were laid on a neglect to marry.
One interesting question which the CEN
sus figures do not answer is this: "How
many of these 100000 bachelors are
single from choice rather than necessity"
The factors affecting the ability to sup
port q wife have been very much changed
under the new industrial and COM
mercial conditions. So great has be-
come the competition for places
among the higher pursuits. and so largely
once exclusively occupied by men, that
the bureaus of industrial statistics show a
larger and larger percentage Of men in
these pursuits whose incomes. from their
point of view, will not permit them to
marry.
1t is easy to cold the young man in
this matter-quite as easy to find fault
with the young women who are look
ing out for husbands with plenty of
money. But there is nothing in the
published census figures regarding the
average earnings of certain classes of
workers which at all warrants the con-
clusion that the maiority Of these 3, 900, 900
unmarried men remain single through
wiiliulness rather than what they deem
necessity.
