DESERVES CONTEMPLATION.

Col. J. J. Farquair, of Roseburg, recently
said: 'Some years ago, when Judge Bur.
nett was on tho bench, land by the way he
was one of the most righteous judges that
ever adjusted others affairs). I took pris-
oner from Roseburg to Corvallis. It was
town, and took the prisoner direct to the
Jail. took look at the old shack of .
Jail, and SAID to myself that I'd never put q
man in that kind of sepulcher. Court
was in session, and it just struck me that I
would face the music; so I took my charge
with me into the old court house, and re-
ported my mission to his honor, who in
formed me that should hand the prisoner
over to the sheriff, to be incarcerated in the
Jail. Of course, the judge, whe is very
humane man, had but one alternative, or
he would never have made such an order;
however, it was too much for a man who
had seen hard times, as have, and I said:
well, judge, any man who would be guilty
of putting another man in that old death
trap ought to 60 to states prison himself "
We quote the above to show that there
were some people who thought the Jail
ought to have been repaired many years
ago. No person with a particle of regard
for tho rights of others will censure the
court for itH action in the matter. It was
a humane act and deserves commentator
rather than criticism.

A very commendable act has been the eff
fort of Miss Margaret Smell to raise the
necessary funds to purchase shade trees
to plant about the public school building.
The citizens have been solicited to contrib
ute and it is the iatention to purchase
white elm trees to be planted this fall
around the school house block on the out
side of the walk, and also to plaut ever.
green vines as a screen to the outbuildings.
When the trees have matured the effect will
certainly be a pleasing one and the public
school square will become one of the attrac.
tive spots of town. Comparison of the
present scene in the courthouse yard with
what 1t formerly was will show what 8 very
little landscape gardening can do. When
these trees have been planted the school
directors should see to it that
they receive proper care and attention.
And now that beginning has
b.en made, 1t seems that it would not be q
bad plan to make it part of the janitor's
duty to tend and care for the grounds. No
additional expense would be incurred, yet
the result would be an ornament to the
district and to the city.

AN APRIL SONG.

Respectfully dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. J. O..
Wilson by Col. VIM. H. Taylor.)
In April weather, through the fields along,
heard maiden singing, and this the maiden's s
song:
Through 1ife's April weather-its sunshine or
snow.
Hand in hand together my love and will go:
In lies April weather, through the coming
years,
My love shall have the sunshine, though I may
have the tears.
Yes. he shall have the sunshine, and land 1
the tears.
Time old age may give us"-this the song she
sung.
"still, whilst Love is with us the heart is ever
young.
Through iife's April weather hand in hand we'll
go, -
Heeding not the sunshine careless of the snow.
Life may bring its troubles with the coming
years,
Yet he shall have the sunshine, tho should
have the tears"
BY the winding river, see, her love appears.
hears;
caroling his love song-wel1 she knows the
strain
st am with her ever-in sunshine or in rain;
She my only treasure through the coming years.
Love shall be her sunshine and Danish all her
tears.
Yes, love shall he our sunshine and Danish all
our tears"

OLD ORCHARDS MADE NEW.
The Subject of an Interesting
Paper Read by Prof. Geo.
>Coote at McMinnville.

Recently the Yamhill County Horticul.
tural Sbciety met at Whiteson. Prof. Geo.
Cote was present and opened the program
with very interesting talk on the above
mentioned topic. AS there are many old
ochards in this section which might be
improved by following Mr.. Coote's sugges-
tions, the following brief resume of his re-
marks is taken from the Yamhill County
Reporter, in hopes that GAZETTE readers
will profit by the information.
che said many people did not appreciate
the Importance of this subject. Scattered
all over the Willamette valley were orchards
that people regarded as old. They were
planted thirty or forty years ago and were
really young orchards. Haller speaks of an
apple tree thousand years old and knight
refers to trees two hundred years old,
grown in climate similar to ours. The
reason that so many OF the Oregon orchards
appear old and dilapidated is because of neg
lect of proper care and cultivation. Lack
OF manuring is one of the most prominent
causes OF deterioration. It is necessary to
return something to the soil for what is an
nually taken away in order to maintain
thrifty growth and obtain fine fruit. Some
horticulturists think that manuring impairs
the health of trees by stimulating too rapid
growth. 1t might be true of young orchards
but not so with old ones. He had expert
imentsd with different Linds of fertilizers
and obtained best results from barnyard
manure.
Proper pruning is the next step to the
restoration of an old orchard. Pruning
means thinning out properly. He did not
recommend too severe cutting back. He
had used no means of removing moss from
the trees, but found that by opening the
tops and letting in the sunlight, moss dis
appeared. Orchards or occasional trees
that bear inferior fruit should be top
grated. The best results would be
gained by top grating one half Of the trees
at a time, taking two years for the job as
too severe cutting back is injurious to the
tree. The next thing in the course of treat.
ment no less than pruning and manuring is
cultivation of the ground. In his expert.
ments he had plowed eight or ten inches
deep the first year, pruning the roots as
well as the tops, and causing new fibrous
growth. Afterward had cultivated more
shallow; would cultivate every two weeks
in spring and early summer, but never later
than the first of August Three years is
sufficient to transform an old orchard so that
the fruit will not be recognizable either in
appearance or favor. AS fine fruit can be
grown upon trees thus treated and brought
out as upon young ones. 1t takes from
eight to ten years to bring young orchard
into bearing, aud in the light of investment.
there is money in rejuvenating old or
chards."
